  Huge progress in the de-Protonization effort today. Got seven of my domains (yes, I have a problem) moved over from SimpleLogin to the new email provider, just four more to go. Also eliminated most of the SimpleLogin aliases as part of that. More complicated will be implementing a new password manager and VPN. I’m using Proton Authenticator but it’s not connected to my account, so I can put that off. And I’m not sure what to do about Standard Notes. At least I never used Proton Drive. #proton

  I don't want a HomeView. I don't want a smart home, or a smart hub, or any of that. I don't want anyone to be able to hack into my refrigerator and set it to 50C. I don't want anyone to be able to set all the lightbulbs in my house to glow purple. I don't want my thermostat exposed on the Internet. I don't want ransomware on my clothes washer. I'm perfectly capable of turning on a light switch, setting an oven temperature, and starting the...

  “There was a desert wind blowing that night. It was one of those hot dry Santa Anas that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen. You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge.” Raymond Chandler got the feeling of Santa Ana winds exactly right.
