I deterministically generate all my passwords whenever I need them using a small bash script and a master passphrase.. so 0 stored anywhere, even encrypted.

This is certainly the kind of transparency twitter needs to regain it's appearance of neutrality. It's some well-played PR for the platform at least.

Except for instance something like Dogecoin that is the direct opposite of what you're saying?

This is a great use of crypto that (IMO) ties in directly with these movements. It's sad that 'you can join the simple web revival as long as you hate this thing we all decided to hate' seems to be a message that's pushed.

I'm going to say vim, and I expect to get yelled at by folk who don't use vim, but here's why I call it elegant software:

Vim's entire command model is based on the simple composition of motion and action.

Until you understand this you will never 'get' vim. You may be able to use it, even efficiently, but you will never understand how these two simple concepts when fully understood are a force-multiplier.

Motion indicates a range, of characters or lines, there are motion keys that will get you: to EOL, to EOF, to next matching char, to braces, to function / class blocks, to predefined marks.

An action is something that applies to that range, these can be anything from auto-formatting, changing case, calling out to another process, anything you can imagine.

When you understand this suddenly g=GG, ct(, y$ become: reformat document, cut to next paren and copy till EOL respectively. Does that sound horribly esoteric? that's only because you don't yet understand vim motion composition.

I'm happy to argue that if anyone fully understands this concept they cannot help but agree that vim is at it's heart seriously elegantly designed software.

I've been looking at the Punkt M02 with starry eyes for months now, trying to calculate a path that could make it a reality. Here are my current roadblocks:

2FA (Authy etc) .. Can I find a CLI replacement I can run on my laptop?

Cameras .. portable, compact cameras have not kept up with apple/google from a feature POV, and even the smallest are the size again of carrying a dumbphone.

PS: This may sound weird, but I've heard a lot of folk in western, urban (isolationist) environments explain how the recent Disney/Pixar movie 'Encanto' has moved them deeply because of it's depiction of strong community. If you have not seen it, check it out and see if the lifestyle depicted there in the background to the story calls to you, it might be a good test to see if this is what you're craving or if it's something else.
