  • Passwords are in Keepass. My son knows the software because he uses it. The master password is written down as part of my estate planning. That will provide access to every account needed to my successors.

    I have a second password store with all of my questionable content. Not going to pass that on to the family. Let it all die horribly.

    Still need to move local sketchy content to an encrypted volume, without recording a password to access it. Probably this winter. I want to be ready to die by spring.



  • The answer is going to be both.

    Drones are the future of warfare. Ukraine has proven that.

    But if the US decides to invade, it absolutely WILL send troops over the border. And we’ll be there, shooting them down. Carney may have to undo Trudeau’s silly handgun restrictions for us RPAL holders for the good of Canada.

    I’m too old to be a soldier, but I can still hold a rifle. I’m not a violent person, but I will defend my country. I don’t believe that most people in the US support this, but I will shoot to kill any that come across the border with plans to invade.

    In my nearly 60 years on this planet, this is the first time I’ve said I will die defending my country.

    So yes, in a situation of war we support drones. We support attacks deep within US territory, rather than traditional face-to-face combat.

    But we will do whatever it takes to protect our country.













  • I just played through Fallout New Vegas “Dead Money,” and it got me thinking about this.

    What made it immersive for me was that the constraints were (a) explained within the story line, and (b) effective in making the situation consistent.

    In the normal game, you start from nothing and eventually become massively overpowered, which is immersion-breaking because if you can do it, why not all of the NPCs? In Dead Money, you are strapped for resources, pressed for time, and feel the looming fear all the time. The experience is more visceral.
