Story time! There is series by Tad Williams called "otherland" - it's a rift in the standard stuck in vr story.

Anywho. There is a group of hackers, weirdos and nerds who did not like the corporate vr experience and built their own (treehouse). In all honesty it's an expansion of the tor project.

But it's what I hope for. A place to end up in the web that's not saturated to hell and back by corporate interests, and you need to know someone for the ladder to be let down and you to be let in.

Also flatten (sometimes used conjunction with "pave") it to denote the systems is getting reimagined.

So my wife and I are one of them. I'll call it as it is, we got lucky, and both work in tech.

Now that said, I "rent" (rent in quotes because the amount is almost exactly what the increase in food costs was) out a room to a good friend because she was struggling, and just last week got another friend couch surfing for who knows how long until she can get her feet under her.

I'm of the mind that it can involve a screen - but needs to be a different part of your brain. For example 3d printing, writing, reading a (digital) book. However if you are nearing burnout, you need to pick up something radically increase your non work time, and spend your free time doing something that does not require a screen.

Do it. It's one of those shows that will haunt you til the end of time.

As someone who manages multiple identity systems - tell your IT to get their act together. Most of my environments we force reaith once a week (and that just a quick enter your password/TOTP code). Otherwise if you can log into your computer we trust you are who you say you are (note: we have some downright scary and invasive stuff on the network so we know if you start accessing stuff you should not). The sensitive/scary stuff is a lot faster (activity timers), but the teams involved know why it's set this way (and where involved in setting the maximum durations).

If you feel like poking a bear. NIST 800-63B is the US Federal guidance on passwords. In the past this guidance said to have long passwords and rotate them. Now they say 8 characters and never change (along with using MFA).

Linux: fine. The mac's in my house don't get to print. Windows: painless.

One of the main ones. Couple with a bunch of marketing and you have a winner.

It's because IPAs are stupid fast to make. As a home brewer I can have an IPA done inside two weeks. That Scotch ale? It's probably close to done and has been sitting for 4 months. And don't even get me started on posters and stouts.

God no. You never want to have radarr fetch an entire movie and dump it into jellyfin/Plex by the time your popcorn is done. No sir.

I think I'm the same way? I know I much rather build my feed into something I want to read as opposed to what the algorithm thinks I want to read.
