These are my own fears as well, but guardrails will evolve to make them a minor nuisance.

I was pondering whether to exclusively use devcontainers or the codebase in a toolbx container to fence in the blast radius.

It is part of why people argue that Chess is a sport.

When grandmasters battle it out for hours in classic chess, thinking ahead of so many branches of moves that I would find unfathomable, they do burn through a lot of energy.

For what is quite a sedentary career choice, I rarely see overweight grandmasters. Though that is probably more correlation of other facts than causation...

It’s probably also the case that being physically fit and healthy helps one think more clearly. Carlsen notably spends a lot of time on physical health in addition to prep.

I do too. Though it does get awkward when dealing with a human related to that site. E.g. a small time hotel phoning about a booking or a local events organiser, they all seem weirded out that I have their name in my email address... :) I often rely on Fastmail's email masking these days instead, which at least reduces that human interaction awkwardness.

I have quite a few personal catch-all domain names, and two of the main ones are used for the per website alias as you do, so over a decade and longer later, I would never be able to manually enter each address. Or remember them.

And yes, the subscribe restrictions for domain searches are annoying.

But Troy and family also need to eat, so I understand the need for a payment part, especially for companies.

We just ended up in the grey zone in between. I wish there were some more nuances, but then again, HIBP can't cater for every edge case unless they want to hire lots of devs and customer services.

I ended up signing up for a subscription, checked my domains, and then cancelled the subscription. It felt a little cumbersome, but ok. A non-recurring 2-day access would have worked for me...

You can just bring or buy some pop-up travel blackout blinds made for babies. We used those with great effect when visiting my parents' summer house in Northern Norway in the summers when the kids were young.

Bonus, they now work as great blackouts in my home office for video calls when I do not want sunshine and clouds to change my green-screen effects etc.

I am very very happy with Fastmail. I know they have some presence in the US but I think they scaled that down and are entirely an Australian company.

Their integration with 1password and masking email aliases is also very useful [0].

If however you want to host your own emails, I did once write an extensive guide [1].

Yeah, when I got the ICO fee extortion letter, they were put in my total scam category. Even when I realised they had some actual official purpose in collecting fees, I still viewed them as a scam, so they have a PR issue more than anything.

Eye rolling takes on a new purpose...

imagine doom scrolling with your eyes. Eye fatigue from screens. Eye fatigue from too much rolling.

That is why I have those for keys I rarely use, such as 'esc' and 'del'. Relatively rare - as they are obviously used frequently enough but not really when typing.

And then I hit them with my middle finger instead, or rather smash them as it requires the whole hand to move slightly.

So in my case does not affect speed or comfort (not a frequent VIM user etc)

But if I only had two thumb buttons I would be ok.
