Encryption
Privacy is a human right.
Yes, I use KeePassXC (in my opinion a beautiful fork of KeePass Safe) toghether with a keypass file on a seperate USB-Stick. The database is on my Proton-Drive which is also encrypted inside a Veracrypt file.
KeePassXC hase some nice features like the auto-type, Categories and password generation. It also has a browser extension but I never used it. I like that it is open source and I can look at the code on their GitHub: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc
I do not think that it is the most feature rich manager and there will be more user friendly ones, but I like the bare bones “You want password managed? Here you go” approach. It has what I need and not more.
I use a password manager because it allow me to have 30+ character passwords that are differnet for every account, and I do not even know the passwords because they are all generated randomly (which is also good, because then there are no patterns like birth dates etc.). This makes your account more secure and more resistant against brite force attacks.
Edit: typo
Kind of sad I have to say.
I know that TV and Radio is “old” tech, today you can watch everything you want at a click of a button and you have millions of different content creators. Maybe I’m getting old too but I like to just hit a button and listen what ever is on, I find this kind of media consumption relaxing. Mostly with SRF-4 where they talk about something and mostly it is interesting and is about a topic I never thought would interest me.
I get the personalized media consumption, but I think it is sometimes good to not choose specifically what to watch/see, helps to see stuff outside of ones bubble.
Yes, finally!
I agree with the “any political direction they want to”, but this also true with the YouTube algorithm or Twitter feed-filter. I see the danger, especially when the media is payed by the state, but it is important to keep in mind that media content companies make money too by pushing you into a direction. The more extreme the direction is, the more screen time a user gives the platform and therefore generates more money.
I generally see the enjoyment it can bring (especially to the younger folks), but I do not see it as necessary. It scares animals, generates toxic waste and releases toxic fumes.
I could live without it.
Swim in the Aare and, hear me out, hot tea.
I saw it in hot dry countries, there they drink tea and since I started to do the same, I can tackle the heat way better.
When you want to watch YouTube but without the ads:
- NewPipe on phone
- Invidious on browser (under attack by Google at the moment, have to see how it goes)
And as others mentioned there are some alternatives:
- PeerTube
- Odysee
