In Denmark we have a saying: "When there's two Thursdays in a week", which is used when someone asks you something like "when can we have this thing?" or "when will you do that thing?" or "when will you give me a million dollars?"

So, Thursday.

SchildiChat Next, which is based on Element X, has implemented spaces.

Perhaps you could also print an encrypted version of your Bitwarden TOTP secret on a QR code and bring it with you in your luggage?

So, encrypt the secret with a passphrase you can remember, encode the entire thing in a QR code and print it on a piece of paper. Easy.

So your password manager uses your phone as 2FA, and the credentials inside your password manager also use your phone as 2FA? Hmmm...

So essentially, you can't bring your phone, that's the main issue. Does your authenticator on your phone support exporting a backup? Then store that in your password manager if that's possible and set up an alternative 2FA for your password manager (SMS on the burner phone number perhaps or a security key). Then when you arrive, reinstall the authenticator on your burner phone and import the backup.

Et øjeblik faldt jeg for den, indtil jeg læste det sidste. Der er godt nok ikke meget der er for langt ude til at kunne være sandt mere XD

I've been there, I used the "encrypted partition to be unlocked after boot via SSH"-option, but it quickly became tedious to have to input the password every time it rebooted. I wanted something that could recover by itself (I.e. start everything up again after a potential crash), so that I could maximize uptime and the investigate the crash later.

So I ended up disabling encryption. What I did instead was to find services with E2EE for my most sensitive stuff. Joplin for my personal notes is currently the only thing I have encrypted. Nextcloud has experimental E2EE, though I'm not really using it as of right now. Everything I deem too sensitive to trust my server with unencrypted, I store on encrypted flash drives.

I think the risk of the server itself being compromised/hacked is bigger than physical theft (at least in my case), and if you take some good precautionary measures, even that risk is pretty small unless you're being directly targeted by a skilled adversary. If the latter is the case, don't store sensitive stuff on something with an IP address.

I tried the lemon variant, it's quite good. But generally it doesn't last as long as Chewing Plastic^TM^.

We have something like that in Denmark as well, it's called True Gum.

That's nice. For MobilePay, you connect your bank account to receive money, but to send you need a card. You can also send using a bank account, but a card needs to be connected regardless (stupid design).

You still have to add a credit/debit card to it though.

I've read through all the replys here, so I'm not gonna suggest something that's already been suggested. You've already given your opinion on therapy, and on changes/new things.

Let me start by telling you this. You say you don't have a bright future to wait for. My friend, none of us have. Your future is what you make it to be. You set your own course and build your bright future yourself, no one else is gonna do it for you. That's life, and that's what makes it beautiful.

If therapy doesn't work for you, that's fine. I personally don't believe in medication for these kinds of issues, but that's my opinion. Try meditating. Seriously, it does wonders. Start with a few minutes a day and gradually increase, doesn't have to be hard. It's gonna make you into the kind of person who takes a step back and thinks about life.

I do agree with others here that it sounds like you need to find your purpose. Purpose isn't necessarily something you actively look for, sometimes it's just something that pops into your head. For example when meditating or doing other things that don't require any active thinking.

Also, one more thing: If you don't like doing new things, try removing something. Take a digital detox, as I like to call it. I do it from time to time, and I always enjoy it and I come back with renewed energy and motivation for life. Just a few days or a week where you don't open any social media, digital entertainment (music, streaming, web surfing etc.) or anything else not strictly necessary. You're gonna be bored first, I'll tell you that. But then you're gonna find out how nice it actually is. You're gonna start craving for something to do, and if the rule of digital detox is set in your mind, you're gonna start finding new things to fill your time with. Like taking a walk or reading a book. Though it does require determination.

What I like to do when I'm in a digital detox period, is to remove entertainment focused apps from my home screen on my phone, and then put my screen in black & white (called reading mode on some phones) to make it "boring". That's definitely gonna help you.

Life is short, please make something out of it, for your own sake.

This is a body wash rather than a shampoo, but I use Wild, they're based in the UK.
