But I never trust extensions, I do it manually.

Maybe off-topic but,

If you're not familiar with the CMU DB Group you might want to check out their eccentric teaching style [1].

I absolutely love their gangsta intros like [2] and pre-lecture dj sets like [3].

I also remember a video where he was lecturing with someone sleeping on the floor in the background for some reason. I can't find that video right now.

Not too sure about the context or Andy's biography, I'll research that later, I'm even more curious now.

Prepend 'pure.md/' in front of any url.

I'm sure there are more proxies around.

I feel you.

> I decided to leave my phone at home

I used to do this too but soon I realized I wanted my phone for payments (say, coffee) and/or unlocking public bikes (like Lime).

Now I have 2 phones: - Phone A with my SIM, internet, payment cards, but unlogged from any internet account - Phone B, no SIM, usually connected to Phone A via hotspot, with email, messaging apps, logged into hacker news and everything.

When I want to take an offline walk/ebike-ride I only bring Phone A with me.
