It’s more counterintuitive than controversial, but I do all my weight lifting at home and don’t go to the gym, and get just as much results as a gym-going person. With modest investments in dumbbells, kettle bells, exercise bands, household items and creativity can do all you need with less cost and hassle of a gym membership.

Yeah I love those Kagi features, use them all the time.

I always liked this situation with “uncouth”. Why don’t we use the word “couth” - I tried to bring it into usage but it didn’t stick!

Yah me too, for my small company per seat pricing is really painful. For some services we just have one account and share access; only one person logs in at a time and tells everyone else when they’re done.

Please give MFA another look, it really is better security to use it.

The problems you mentioned: you keep the MFA backups in a password manager.

I know you’re worried about losing access to that password manager, use two different ones, write down your most important several passwords in a locked place, etc. it’s better.

He lies and twists facts constantly. Plus he’s annoying as hell, for whatever that’s worth.

Hehe, he won’t know, it’s a messy method. The experiment is “does the kitchen sink approach of a 100 zany things do any good or not.” I’d guess not, actually,

I agree with you and don’t know why people pile on against you. Is the guy cringey? Sure. Would it be more useful to humanity if he just donated his money to existing and more reputable research? For sure. But he’s just tinkering on himself, which is his right, and shares what he learns.

Is he misguided and a quack who may not learn anything? Maybe, but sometimes it’s the crazy folks who go against the grain that stumble on some good ideas.

Also, if anything he tries is interesting, yes of course he’s just a sample size of 1 - the idea is that other people could research it further.

(I think him roping other people in like his kid isn’t great)

Yeah I don’t know enough about him, just glances at bits of content over time, but I agree. History is full of such over enthusiastic tinkerers who subject themselves to ridiculous experiments but every now and then they learn something useful. It is cringeworthy, though, and not ok if foisted on others.

Aye good to know some instances block VPNs , didn’t know that. As a user from China who has to use a VPN always that would be problematic. Guys I got lucky with my instance.
