It is work work not passive, but I write dev docs for $80/h. But it is simple work, you just go research and write. No Racoon calling out to Wingman to get user info provider services.

Makes me feel free as in speech. My acorn electron didn't phone home. It was home.

There is the video that mocks mongodb because it returns success before the data is persisted. Try writing your data to a cassette tape ;)

Watched it all. Brilliant maker video. Impressed by the dedication to hours of sanding. Worried he would saw off his fingers trimming the FDD :-o. Keyboard is particularly impressive as is using off the shelf parts for IO and getting the 3d printed case to fit them perfectly. Floppy ejection using steping motor is a fun touch. Love it. Also all the tight tolerences!

I am looking into making a product for fun 3d printing, rpi etc but it'll be 1% of the sophistication of this.

You are pricing at premium. So get an artist for your graphics. And fix text wrapping on mobile. You need to be impeccable!

Lazy way. Gmail. Takeouts every so often. Namecheap domain and use free forwarding to said gmail.

You can also put JPEG binary data in RSS feeds, send a string of emojis for an SSL handshake and stick HTML 1.0 directly in a docker image. You can do those things. You can even write tools that accept those things.

Yes if you choose annuity but you can also buy those with regular cash so it's as relevant here as price of tea.

Pensions are more tax efficient and offer a better option of investments (companies) than what is effectively fiat interest going into a lottery pool.

If you have cash in premium bonds you might die young then pay inheritance tax.

Better give your kids cash earlier to live off or invest to avoid this, and so they can over-stuff their pensions ;). Not many people think that far ahead (60 year horizon)

This is not systems thinking though. It take a lot of will for parents to fight kids desire for junk food from social pressure alone. Should parents be perfect citizens that make 10000 correct micro decisions a month correctly every time? Or can society help a bit by blocking some of the predators?

It is like "just say no". Thay'll do it for drug addicition. Simple.

The perfect. Enemy of the good.

For Youtube often the content is an ad too. Will Google need to stop serving huge swaths of content to the UK at certain times? Hope so!

Even better, pay that money into a pension and buy a lottery ticket.

Yes. For example emails are an mbox file amd there are free mbox viewers. You then have something like an old school mail client to view emails.

Try a different network entirely. Maybe you have a bad neighbour on that IP address. Or you are fingerprinted for some other reason.

If your phone has downloaded data, such as emails and contacts, back that phone up right away. At least that is something if not everything.
