I am also very curious about this. Why do we have 3 196s?

Well I have maladaptive daydreaming and I think that would be mostly enough to keep me sane for a little bit.

What makes you say that? Any e-mail provider can intercept and read any e-mail they want to. This explanation by cock.li is pretty good on this issue:

How can I trust you? You can't. Cock.li doesn't read or scan your e-mail content in any way, but it's possible for any e-mail provider to read your e-mail, so you'll just have to take our word for it. No "encrypted e-mail" provider is preventing this: even if they encrypt incoming mail before storing it, the provider still receives the e-mail in plaintext first, meaning you're only protected if you assume no one was reading or copying the e-mail as it came in. When possible, you should use X.509 or GPG with your mail correspondents to encrypt your message content and prevent it from ever being handled in plaintext on our servers. You should also download and delete your mail from our servers regularly, which alone is almost as good as encrypting your mail.

Yeah, but fuck you too.

I don't think there are any services that can compare to YouTube in any way.

Technically, yes, most sites won't have such sophisticated logic. But any Google, Microsoft, or Meta service you use most definitely will.

I really liked CreepJS's "Visits" feature where it would show a counter for how many people have visited with exactly the same browser fingerprint (which would usually be 1 unless you were using Tor Browser or Mullvad Browser), but they seem to have removed it for some reason along with "Lies" and "Trust Score". You can still check it out here though to see just how much identifying information even a simple hobby project can gather in less than a second.

Waking up early still feels pretty shitty though, at least in the first hour. I sleep at 8PM and get up at around 4AM, so a full 8 hours, but it's still possible for me to just fall asleep again and wake up at 6AM. It is not that I prefer sleeping for 10 hours either, because I usually have a mild headache during the days in which I overslept, and if I sleep at 10PM I wake up at 6AM feeling pretty normal. My guess is that this may be because of the lack of light earlier in the morning, but who knows.

I've been looking into daylight simulation alarms just to test this, but I feel like they're a lot more expensive than they should be as LED lights on a timer (60USD).

Me too. Please.

Please don't use Linux Mint with KDE, you will just get a much worse experience. Cinnamon is very customizable. I don't know what the OP means by "layout", but if they're talking about the taskbar that can be customized too.

Try a different VPN server if you get the "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" error. If you're using Mullvad VPN, the Netherlands Amsterdam 203 server should work.
