I became a dollar billionaire somewhere around fifteen years ago when a friend gave me a 5 billion dollar banknote from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, still legal tender at the time. At that time I was already too old to play in the street like a child, but I still to this very day walk in the street in front of where I live every day.

I grew up long after cars had already become commonplace in our city but we still played in our residential street for drivers had learned to navigate safely around playing children.

That is not what anyone means with “life” in the context of work–life balance.

I don’t consider work separate from life.

That seems deeply problematic to me.

UK still has anonymous SIM cards, which I find somewhat surprising considering the amount of surveillance there.

Stop reading the news.

And read Rolf Dobelli’s great essay about why this is such a good thing to do:

Why don’t you go to a public hospital and get an opinion from a doctor who has no monetary interest in whatever choice you end up making?

[…] it can be a security risk, allowing malware to move “laterally” between all your devices.

Unless you do something incredibly stupid, such as allowing keyless login or sharing keys (or having unencrypted keys or keys without a passphrase, seriously), I find it hard to see how that would actually happen in practice.

I always have SSH everywhere on everything and I could never understand why anyone ever would want to make it more complicated than that.

I’d probably just want something simple that’d bring back good memories from childhood, like battered, pan-fried plaice with remoulade sauce and some lemon wedges, that always felt like a luxury meal when I was a child, that’d be soothing, a last chance to remember a time of innocence.
