I’ve had this experience myself; I’m an American living in the Netherlands and sometimes just don’t know the name for the thing I need nor where to buy one. LLM bots are fine for the translation part, but they will make wild assumptions like telling me I can buy a kitchen strainer at the hardware store or food spices at a place called Kruidvat which translates to spice-bucket basically but is actually most like CVS without the pharmacy and does not sell any food besides some candy and chips.

It’s hilarious how quickly these bots can swing from super useful to actually harmful to trust.

“But how about I just summarize it for you instead… poorly and with a few lies added in?”

If you are in Europe just get a Dutch bicycle. Cheap (you can find them in any canal in Amsterdam, just hop in and grab one!), repairable, and will last for years post-canal treatment.

Am I mistaken, but isn’t Nix a package manager, where Docker is a container system? They’re related, but really not comparable.

Of course, that was just for demonstration.

Though after a campaign has hit level ~8 or so it can be a fun reward to players to let them just squash a group of 1st level mooks as a kind of reminder of how far they’ve come since 1st level. At 9th level it’s reasonable to have +20 to your attack, and an NPC only has an AC of 10…

AC is only line of defense; don’t forget your reflexes and will can be targeted to do much worse things than just hurt you.

In Pathfinder 2e it is not true that rolling a 20 means an automatic hit. Rolling a 20 only automatically increases the degree of success by one. For example; if a character with +0 to their attack rolls a 19 versus an AC of 30 it results in a critical miss (19 is more than 10 below the target number). If they roll a 20 however it gets upgraded by one level and becomes a regular miss.

There has to be, the PasswordStore app for Android can keep the GPG files in a storage location where other apps can read & write them. All you need is something to handle the synchronization.

I’m a control freak and prefer to do things like that manually, so I just use the built-in git & SSH based method it provides.

That entry names are stored in plain text doesn’t bother me; if somebody has broken into my system so well that they’ve copied my password store then the last of my concerns will be if they can easily find out if I have a password stored for example.org or example.net. At that point it doesn’t matter if they can tell that I have a Jellyfin password stored, because that service is running on my server with clients installed on my phone & tablet.

And I handle key storage with a pair of Yubikeys which hold a copy of my private key. It can’t be extracted (only overwritten). There is a physical copy kept on offline, disconnected storage, which could be an attack vector – but if we’re at the point of somebody breaking into my house to target my password management then all bets are off: you don’t need to break my kneecaps with a hammer for me to tell you everything, I prefer to keep my knees undamaged.

For attachments I just add another entry; /services/example.org-otherThing - there’s nothing stopping you from encrypting binary data like an image.

And when it comes to convenience: I have a set of bash scripts that use Wofi to popup a list of options and automatically fill in data. Open example.org click the login field, hit meta-l, type example.org, hit enter and wait a moment: it’ll copy and paste the username, hit tab for me, then copy/paste the password, then copy a bunch of random data into the clipboard buffer like 10 times before copying an empty string another hundred times to flush said buffer. meta-f for username only, meta-g for password only; it’s honestly way more convenient for me than the 1Password setup I use at work.

I understand the point the video is making, but I think it’s irrelevant if you keep the private key on something like a Yubikey.

I use passwordstore.org which is basically a bash script that wraps GPG; but there is an Android client as well.

Everything is stored in encrypted files tracked by git. Files are synchronized by git/SSH to a server I run.

Police have had, since the late 90s I think, the “Hotplug” which is a special battery pack / generators that provide a special power plug where you can gently loosen the existing plug, slide the generator’s plug in place over it, then remove the computer from the main supply while keeping it powered on.

Power plug locks only buy you time or prevent casual mayhem; the police can work around those.
