I've used 1Password's Watchtower for so many years that I assumed the breached password check was just part of it. After your reply I looked it up and learned it's actually a setting in their privacy preferences, so my comparison was off.

My replies there were more dismissive than they should have been. My apologies. I've posted a follow-up on the issue.
As it turns out, the check can already be turned off after all:
ha security options --pwned=false
It has been part of the Supervisor for years and checks app options that are marked as passwords. A recent release fixed the warning that surfaces it, which is why people are noticing it now.Only the first 5 characters of a SHA-1 hash go to HIBP, and the matching happens locally: https://github.com/home-assistant/supervisor/blob/main/super...
Our documentation should have explained all of this, including how to turn it off. We'll get that updated.

I guess that this "wasting my life" feeling is creeping up everybody's mind now and then, having a devastating effect on your daily productivity.
Some people do this using a diary or even mix this up with GTD...
I'm cracking my mind about this for a long time now and really looking for a solution that works for me.
Nevertheless, just writing it down like this could be a nice first step.
This was a fun read :)

It allows you to bring a positive change to the project and/or world of your choosing.
I personally would love to work on FOSS the whole day... but yeah.. I guess we are all stuck somewhere :)
Just start small and maybe you'll become one of those damn lucky developers with a fulltime FOSS developer job.
But you are right, it is time to head downstairs for a beer with Mrs. Frenck.
