Do you have a dedicated git repo for your dnscontrol config and use github actions to run dnscontrol when you push?

I've been thinking about doing this for my personal domains, but not sure if it's a good idea


I'm curious for everyone who upgraded from a previous generation, what did you do with your old pair? AFAIK Apple doesn't do AirPods trade-in.


The noteworthy thing about this wallet is that it uses the TROPIC01 secure element[1]. The first open verifiable secure element.

It will be interesting to see how it compares to the Keycard Shell[2] a fully open-source wallet with swappable smart cards using the same secure element as found in credit cards etc.

Agreed! No one asked for liquid ass!


Anyone wanna share their email strategy? I'm thinking of going for the following but I'm still undecided:

1. 1 custom domain (<simple-word-or-two>.com): this will be used for friends, family and any online accounts that know me IRL.

Use Fastmail masked addresses with my custom domain where it makes sense like an online account for amazon.

2. 1 custom domain (<online-nickname>.xyz): this will be used for a blog, professional IRL interviews, correspondence, github.

Use Fastmail masked addresses with my custom domain where it makes sense.

3. Masked emails using fastmail.com: for online accounts that are ephemeral, random newsletter signups etc. Don't want to associate any of my custom domains or IRL identity. Don't care if these are portable.

My main goals are:

- Separate my online identity/alias used for my blog (2) from gov entities, banks etc (1).

- for more anonymity/privacy use the fastmail.com domain with masked addresses to blend in with others on this domain.

I'd love feedback and to read what you do if you want to share :)


Your strategy seems good to me. The primary reference that I use for this kind of stuff is Michael Bazzell's book "Extreme Privacy". It goes into some detail about his strategy for using custom domains to compartmentalize things. That's what I base my own strategy on.

The only thing that I would add is that I prefer to "salt" my single-purpose email addresses with a bunch of random characters to prevent enumeration attacks, since it would be trivial to figure out the email address that I use for different services by just guessing. If I used amazon@domain.net, I might also use uber@domain.net, etc. Adding a salt prevents this from happening.


> 1 custom domain (<online-nickname>.xyz)

I got banned by .xyz once. I did manage to get it cleared up, but being banned by the TLD itself is pretty unpleasant. It's hard to even figure out that's what happened. And then I had to "prove" I was no longer distributing malware, with a list of what things I'd done to clean up the site and prevent further malware distribution - which was difficult as I was never distributing malware to begin with. Just a static website for a wordle variant, no ads or other 3rd party content.


I just use a Fastmail address for my resume and such. I dont want to use my personal domain because while not offensive it sounds a bit silly.


Have you tried any of the splitkb keyboards? If so, how do they compare to the kinesis adv 2?


Top tier comment!


I'm curious if you make your home directory immutable, where do you store your files like pdfs etc?


For point 1 I recall the creator of Age, Filippo Valsorda suggesting something similar:

>The .age-recipients files also include the public key for an offline disaster recovery key. I generated the key with age-keygen, encrypted it with age -p, printed the ciphertext as a QR code, and wrote the random passphrase in pen. This is a bit convoluted, but I don’t trust printers. All this was done in a tmpfs, so nothing reached storage. Only had to do this once, and have been using that key as the anchor for all my disaster recovery data. https://words.filippo.io/dispatches/passage/


You don't need security keys to enable ADP. You need to setup a Recovery Contact or create a Recovery Key.
