Thank you for answering my questions and I appreciate your clear explanation. I am looking forward to seeing more of your posts. (๑･̑◡･̑๑)

It’s one of my backup keys ^_−☆

Fantastic list, thank you so much!

I saved your post and will be using it as my reference; this is a better list than I made for myself. Albeit I already follow most of your recommendations:

1. Is there a reason why you don’t have YubiKey on your list?
   I didn’t like it at first but now I highly recommend it.

2. What about the Camera Shy Hoodie? I know it’s DIY but IMO there are people here that might be willing to make it themselves.

Those Reflectacles are a bit expensive so they’re already on my wishlist! I also saved this: 7 Privacy Garments That Block Surveillance Cameras

You rock, Charger8232! Thanks again!

EDIT: I forgot about Zenni glasses:

EyeQLenz and Zenni ID Guard™ are designed to reflect signals to help disrupt unwanted tracking under certain conditions. Results may vary due to recognition technology and environmental factors. Zenni does not guarantee that its products provide anonymity or total protection from surveillance and biometric identification.

VPN.

(2-year subscription for Proton came to $71.76) I wasn’t planning on buying anything anyway but during these dark times, VPN is a necessity IMO.

Several of my friends and family are active supporters of Philabundance and the Food Bank of South Jersey.

When I was younger, my parents would take me with them to a soup kitchen especially around Thanksgiving. My mom and grandmom are great cooks so they were in the kitchen helping, my dad and I are the clean-up crew and grandpa walked around like he owned the place, lol. This went on for years until my grandparents started having trouble walking.

Last week, our elders called in a family meeting. We are making Halloween care packages for some people we know that are in need, filled with non-perishable goods (mac & cheese, soup, tuna, tapioca, crackers, beans, spam, corned beef, etc.).

The kids’ trick-or-treat bags are the full-size Halloween themed grocery bags filled with pudding, mac & cheese cups, ramen cups, soup cups, chicken (flat pack not can), PB & Cheese crackers and some candy, too.

We usually do this after Halloween (for Thanksgiving and Christmas) and the Goddess of the Canned (me) would help collect and deliver.

Anyway, thank you for creating this post, OP. It will help highlight and spread the word fact about food insecurity. There are a lot of people out there thinking about whether to buy their medicine or buy food.

So, if anyone wants to help, there are plenty of places in your area. Monetary donations are also welcome.

I don’t have that option :•{ but I just saw that there’s an update! Thanks, muzzle! =]

Really? How? I just tried, just now. Been using FF for years and never had that option.

Can you please tell me how? Also, thanks!

Every once in a while I need a good cry session just to get it out of my system and feel better. I have a playlist titled “Cry Baby”.

After I wash my face, I’ll listen to some dance and techno while I have my frozen gel mask over my swollen eyes.

Like most people, music moves me…

Firefox Focus is more of a quick search, you can’t open another tab/window type of browser, hence Focus. As soon as you close it, FF will automatically delete everything. Think of it as disposable, one-time use search and browser. I use it on my phone.

If you’re looking for a browser with privacy features that you can use everyday and customize like DuckDuckGo, then maybe you should consider IronFox. I sometimes use it on my tablet; I like to separate work from personal stuff.

DuckDuckGo is what I use when I want to watch something on YouTube, it has Duck Player.

Not sure what your goal is but if you like having different browsers for different purposes, these may be of use:

Which Is Better Duckduckgo Or Firefox

Firefox vs. Ironfox

Hope that helps. Good luck.

Wonder Woman (Diana Prince) is a museum curator in Paris.

Batman (Bruce Wayne) is the CEO of Wayne Enterprises.

The Hulk (Bruce Banner) is a scientist – not sure if he’s a biologist, chemist, biochemical engineer or all of the above.

But they all have offices that they work from. You’ve got me curious now! 😃

My name came from a Catholic saint that was on the calendar the day I was born, along with a feminized version of my French grandfather’s name.

Family name (one character) is said/written first, then the given name (two characters for me… and I assume for most people).

Same here. My Chinese name was given to me when I was a kid upon enrollment at a [Chinese] school. Unfortunately, when my dad’s employer sent him to work in the UK we didn’t know anyone who spoke Mandarin. 王 is my given surname and quite common. My maiden name is famous in some parts of the world, not in America.

It’s not too late to change your name, you can have mine if you want.

Have you tried Bulleit Rye?

It’s cheap ($35) but quite good. I always bring a bottle to family gatherings because my SIL makes a mean Manhattan and that’s her preferred brand.

Wow! Your search engine is fast. Nice layout, simple, clean. I really like it!

So we can use your magic?

Congratulations!

Yes, you’ll definitely need a good quality ladder and:

– Set of screwdrivers. My Stanleys are over 20 years old

– Separate flathead for kitchen use only (instead of using your forks to open stuff)

– Fire extinguisher (leave one in kitchen)

– All-purpose or silicone caulk and caulk gun. (In case of emergency and if your house is old).

– Scissors

– First Aid Kit (you can make your own, I did)

– Multi-tool or Utility knife (I love my SOG)

– Flashlight (combination of battery-powered, rechargeable, heck even a tealight will do). Ideally, some form of light for each room in the house if you lose power (nothing expensive).

– Shovel and Salt before it snows (If you have pets, get the [blue] pet-friendly salt). Always buy it before it snows. Keep it in the house the night before it snows so you can dig yourself out.

– If your windows are old, read up on removable window film, magnetic window film (3M makes them also)

– 409 (they clean almost everything)

– phone number of a good electrician and plumber (my GC is awesome but she’s stateside only)

– Plunger. Don’t buy the orangey-plastic snake - they don’t work.

– I have DeWalt (and a bunch of batteries) but prefer my Makita. Black & Decker is a toy, don’t do it. Milwaukee sucks. If you’re not using power tools now, don’t buy them or wait until they go on sale.

– Surge protectors (the higher/more joules, the better). You definitely need those.

– WD-40

Canada has some very good quality wind turbines (for home use, not the gigantic ones) that you might want to consider; I hear your solar panels are pretty good, too.

Buy what you can afford; check out thrift shops, yard sales, flea markets for some tools.

Most of all, know your limitations. My house is old and I knew what I could do myself, what I would be willing to do and the rest I need for someone else to do.

Every year you’ll have more questions and we will be here for you… with answers you may or may not like.

Good luck and Enjoy!

What about Session? It’s cross-platform and decentralized.

There’s also Simple X chat which is also cross-platform and foss.

You can send photos and files on both. There’s no need for email and phone to sign up. My friends and I like Session for it’s simplicity but my niece made everybody download Simple X because it’s “prettier”.
