We all have knives built into our mouths, we could just be using those!

Why do you have knives in your kitchen, when everything you could do with a knife can be done with a spoon?

That’s good, if at least one surviving synced device survives then you still have access. Still a big “if” in a catastrophe, but a much better proposition.

What is the data retention policy for the local vaults?

Thanks for your useful and actionable feedback that clearly explains the problem. So trustworthy /s

No, my problem is that I need my password manager to access my backup, and I need my backup to get my password manager.

Why would you use a knife when you can cut anything with a spoon, if you give it a bit of force?

Do you count “gave an old person COVID and they died”? Then absolutely for sure.

I don’t trust my setup for something like this.

My server and NAS go down in a fire, and I’m not gonna have the key I need to get the backup so I can restore my password manager lol

Yes regarding welfare and snap, but not regrading things like healthcare assistance programs.

I think that’s ok

I also think that it’ll probably be a lower amount of moochers than you expect; they’ll want to work, but it’ll be doing things that our current society doesn’t recognize as work, or work of value.
It’ll be things like philosophy, art, poetry, tinkering, etc, which actually make life better for people but are difficult to turn into a profitable business.

I’m gonna pick up a few of these I think.

That NoteDicovery looks pretty slick. Its exactly what I was looking for a few months ago, and I’d absolutely pick it up if I didn’t just fall in love with the silverbullet’s ability to execute code embedded directly in the markdown; a feature that I expect to use almost never, but atotally smitten with.

As a side note, all these email archiving projects almost do something I want, maybe folks here can help me:
I’ve heard that self-hosting email is not worth the pain, but I also don’t want to leave my email history in the hands of these megacorps I don’t trust. These archive projects solve that problem, but they’re not email clients. I don’t want to archive and delete an email just to find out actually I need to reply to it like a month later.
What do you recommend for this usecase?

He lost some teeth

You’re not wrong.

I would also add to that list “things I didn’t know I wanted”, but that is hard to objectively differentiate from manipulation.

If the ads actually targeted me with things I’d actually like, instead of trying to manipulate me, I’d probably care less. But they don’t, because shareholders want larger margins.

You’d rather be using arch 😜

Here, this will help stop seeing loss

You’re can’t have one without the other.

The Chicago school promoted unfettered access to power for companies, they’re complicit in the companies using that power to influence the government to do unhealthy things like defang antitrust regulation.

To use your stupid analogy; if you take your car to the mechanic, and the mechanic tells you that your car doesn’t use oil, then it is the mechanic’s fault when your car breaks down.
Here the mechanic is the Chicago school, you are the govt, and the car is the market.

“that’s not real capitalism” seems to be the new “that’s not real communism”.

Capitalism gave unscrupulous people the power to do bad things. It is ignorant to try to absolve capitalism of this.
Capitalism is a tool to concentrate wealth and power, it is absolutely shocked Pikachu when those people use that wealth and power to influence the government to do bad things.

You’re claiming both that the government is the problem for not stopping people from doing bad things, and also you’re saying that the Chicago school was right for pressuring the government to remove their ability to stop people from doing bad things.
