Currently s1 and t6. I'm not a fun person.

On NixOS I did this:

services.displayManager.autoLogin = {
	enable = true;
	user = "kevincox";
};

# Avoid setting up a keyring every time I do a non-auto login.
# https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/seahorse/-/issues/159
security.pam.services.login.enableGnomeKeyring = lib.mkForce false;

Can you configure KWallet with no password? Often you can do something like set an empty password and it will auto-decrypt with no prompt.

This may be undesirable as apps running in your user can access what is in KWallet but honestly this is probably the case anyways. If you are running unsandboxed untrusted applications you have already lost.

TL;DR is yes, but typically slowly. So the BBL won't last forever but for most people it can last quite a while.

I have seen claims from 5-10 years. But it will depend on your lifestyle. I have seen some sites saying that if your weight is fluctuating it will dissipate faster than if you keep a fairly stable amount of body fat.

I like the option to preserve originals. I wonder if this is now always done or if it is configurable. Often times I am preserving the original footage and project files anyways so don't need an original. However other times I am just throwing footage straight from the camera and the archive is nice.

It also opens interesting possibilities like re-encoding down the road to new or better codecs or even just better encoders. For example it would be interesting to dedicate one background thread to re-encoding in a much higher effort, and possibly re-running this every few years to take advantage of encoder upgrades.

My biggest problem with hardware keys are replacement. If I lost one of my keys and get a replacement I would now need to go to a hundred sites and enroll the new key (and remove the old one). Until this workflow is automated I can only reasonably use hardware keys with a small number of "critical" accounts.

So for 99% of sites I'm going to use a synced software key.

That is important to remember but it is sort of orthogonal to the point being made. Assuming that mind-reading worked perfectly you can find the truth about what the person believes. In most cases if they think they murdered the person and the gun is hidden behind the oak in their backyard it is beyond a reasonable doubt. I think it is still useful to have the truth about what that person believes, even if we have to remember that their beliefs are fallible.

Video sometimes fails to play when coming back to it. I need to restart the browser. However the rest of the page is responsive and I haven't had it crash.

Most archiver programs will set the modified time of a file to the modified time recorded in the archive (if present). Many archive formats support recording modification times because they were intended for backups and aim to perfectly record the original files including all data and metadata.

I also agree that this is not what I want when using GUI modification programs (in my case file-roller) but the exact options available will depend on which program you use.

More like re-purchase it for twice the price on the next console's eShop

Yeah, a lot of these were lessened because the task was easy without any knowledge. I like the iPod one because the UX would be unfamiliar to someone who didn't use it. But things like "Type {phrase} into the search box" are really just a lame way to make a reference.
