Sleep as Android has this along with a ton of other wake up helpers like QRcode/NFC tag scanning to stop the alarm, math problems, etc.

I found the math worked well at first but I apparently got too good at solving them in my sleep.

I put an NFC tag in the bathroom which requires me to get out of bed and go into the bathroom to stop the alarm. That's usually enough to get me to stay up

They also have various CAPTCHA tests, one that requires you to hold your phone and spin around, one that requires you to put the phone up to a light source, and other such things. I'm sure you can find an effective solution that works for you

When I was a kid we used to collect "sea glass"

It wasn't until later that I learned it was just trash that looked pretty because it had been there a while

I really love Kopia.

I mostly use it for cloud backups but it also works great for local/network storage as well.

It's really fast and efficient, supports cutting edge encryption and compression algorithms and the de-duplication and file-splitting features will let you generate frequent snapshots while costing you minimal storage.

Snapshots are also effortless to mount and it even supports error correction to protect against bit-flipping and other long-term storage risks.

It's also cross-platform and FOSS.

De-duplication prevents duplicate bits of data from being stored twice. Even if they are different file names or even synced from different systems.

The rolling hash/file-splitting means if you modify a 25GB file and only change a couple MB then only the changed couple MB will need to be stored. This means you can spend a month modifying small parts of a massive file thousands of times and avoid storing a new 25GB file thousands of times to archive those changes.

Murder-chirps are my favorite cat sound

It's been towed out of the environment

Excellent choice of "testament" at the end there!

I also enjoyed this line:

Those poor court stenographers

If they kept the 30-pin for another year or two they could have been one of the first with USB-C and it would have been good for two decades or more and we wouldn't be having this discussion

If California is anything like Massachusetts then it's a bit more complicated.

Over there several towns and cities have decriminalized and it's on the state ballot much like California, but cannabis dispensaries in those towns and cities are already "gifting" mushroom chocolates and such to customers.

The law says they can't sell it yet but they still manage to get it into the hands of paying customers

Yay basic formatting.

Keep should have had MarkDown support from the start

Get a hardware 2FA key instead of using your phone for TOTP

Epoch is also acceptable if humans don't need to understand it
