Works for me on FF mobile. Do you see the cookie banner initially?

no I didn't see it, I guess you and others with similar answer are right, I'll know what to watch for next time!

Same here. Been my setup for almost 10 years. Encrypted db file in an encrypted volume. Multiple offline and online backups.

Unless you drive by car and say you are in 'transit'. Nobody in Schengen will/can stop you (or even check). With the exception of the border police having reasonable doubt you are a border commuter/worker.

> the problem with defi hacks, from the perspective of the hacker, is you get a bunch of eth, which is a lot harder to hide and launder than BTC.

Actually it's quite easy with something like tornado.cash.

Thank you Dang!

Would a co-founder in that case be beneficial? Assuming you both take the risk, it's less hard on you if it fails. Obviously pros and cons with this.

Maybe, but I don't know anyone I would trust with that kind of thing

Honestly the safest option seems to be relocating to a third-world country where the labor and the cost of living is cheap, so that said money can be stretched out over a few years. Or waiting til that pile of money gets a bit larger and living off ramen for a while

>relocating to a third-world country

There is a large part of Europe (and I'm sure the US) where the standard of living is decent and you can easily get by on <15k€/year.

Even in a lot of Germany you can live on less than 15k€/year, just not very comfortably. In Eastern Europe a frugal person can probably live on a lot less.

Average gross salary in Poland is ~$1400 if you are looking for options. But please do some research before relocating, current political climate is one of the reasons why I'm not really considering moving back there...

As much as I would like to relocate to Europe, I don't have a Shengen passport and I would prefer to avoid the kind of region-hopping one needs to do to live long-term on a tourist visa.

Right now I have my eye on either Latin America, rural Northern California, or Nevada. Humboldt area is very cheap right now, I am seeing 2br houses renting for $1000 and studio apartments for 3/4 that in Eureka (which isn't all that bad; I just visited)

Yup, those places are potential options. I try to use my travel time to scout places like these out

Agree with this sentiment. When you're in the moment, it may feel as if you're loosing time. But failing should be the best school you ever have. You might had to do research on X or train some aspects of your development skills etc. You always take that with you. The experience itself, is never lost.

It’s also possible and common to just lose the time with no redeeming experience, learnings, perspective, etc., no matter how open-minded, self-reflecting and positive you may be. Not all experiences have meaningful lessons within them. Sometimes a large chunk of lived experience is just totally void of value.

And that’s ok too. Not everything has to be recast as value additive or enriching from some more mature or greater perspective.

Prefer Signal myself too. It's a bit hard to switch over from WhatsApp and tried to use it at least with my spouse. One feature that Telegram and WhatsApp miss, is being able to send yourself a message. On Signal you can do this and it's very convenient for taking notes, sending passwords (laptop <--> phone) and for saving bookmarks. I used to share interesting bookmarks from HN to my email, but that quickly got cumbersome to sort out.

Telegram has the saved messages chat which is a chat with yourself.

Agreed. This actually works incredibly well on Telegram to sync snippets and files between devices.

FWIW you can also create multiple groups with the same person(s) so you can keep one "group" chat with your spouse for chores, shopping lists etc and another for photos of the kids, birthday planning, funny stuff etc.

This probably works in most messengers though, but it is a nice hack anyway.

OT but if it helps you, Whatsapp does actually allow you to send messages to yourself (sort of)! You can create a Whatsapp group with you and one other person in it, and then remove them from the group. The result is a group with only you in it that you can use to send messages to yourself.

You can do it on Telegram chatting with the "Saved messages" pseudo-user.

Signal has the Note-to-self feature that's E2EE. Telegram's chat to self is not end-to-end encrypted.

Also consider using a stable coin like DAI, USDC etc if your use case is to mimick somewhat of a bank account without crazy volatility.

They’re a scam. They have no real reserve.

I'm going to assume that Apple will do everything to maintain their cut. Even if what you said would be possible, I would expect Apple to update their terms of service to abolish it.
