I use https://appraven.net instead of App Store to discover apps.



Begone is better than Number Shield plus its free.

I've been using Number Shield since long before Begone existed, so I can't really comment on their comparison.

...though the creator of Begone will hopefully realize that every entry in its version-history starting with that same rant about fake ad campaigns is making it look more sketchy than ignoring the issue would.


Private Truths, Public Lies by Timur Kuran is a good read.

In the book he gave the theory of Preference falsification.

I use Adguard for Safari Content blocking + NextDNS. Adguard has launched its own DNS based blocker too which I am yet to test.

There are two types of people in this world (well, at least two): Those who dream of underground living spaces or secret hideouts/tunnels, and those who don't. Count me among the former. Thanks for the link!


Pretty cool project, the funniest thing was him not doing any research regarding permits in advance... yikes.



Raivo is not letting me proceed without setting a master password.

I tried an 8 digit long key. 9 char long string. 9 char + 3 spaces. 9 char + 3 hyphens.

It just keeps rejecting them saying weak passwords without telling me what does it need.

I finally set a long randomly generated password and it was accepted. I like to remember passwords of my password manager and TOTP tool. It I knew the requirement I would have set something longer but memorable.

Isn’t there s desktop tool at all?


XKPasswd is the best tool to generate a strong memorable password imo.

Do you use Cloudflare? If yes, this could be the cause, but I'm not sure. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12091900


No, we don’t.


I think Diarium [1] is the most underrated journaling app. I have been using it for around a while and can definitely recommend it. Also, it is one time pay (for each platform though which I think is still better than an overpriced subscription)
