Hehe not really. I'm also just enjoying my hobby on a Saturday evening honestly :)

But you are right, it is time to head downstairs for a beer with Mrs. Frenck.

Not a lie, but I was wrong on that one. I'm happy to admit that.

I've used 1Password's Watchtower for so many years that I assumed the breached password check was just part of it. After your reply I looked it up and learned it's actually a setting in their privacy preferences, so my comparison was off.

Frenck here, I'm the one who replied on that issue.

My replies there were more dismissive than they should have been. My apologies. I've posted a follow-up on the issue.

As it turns out, the check can already be turned off after all:

  ha security options --pwned=false

It has been part of the Supervisor for years and checks app options that are marked as passwords. A recent release fixed the warning that surfaces it, which is why people are noticing it now.

Only the first 5 characters of a SHA-1 hash go to HIBP, and the matching happens locally: https://github.com/home-assistant/supervisor/blob/main/super...

Our documentation should have explained all of this, including how to turn it off. We'll get that updated.

Pretty cool and simple idea, which I would certainly should do myself...

I guess that this "wasting my life" feeling is creeping up everybody's mind now and then, having a devastating effect on your daily productivity.

Some people do this using a diary or even mix this up with GTD...

I'm cracking my mind about this for a long time now and really looking for a solution that works for me.

Nevertheless, just writing it down like this could be a nice first step.

If you care about your privacy, then you could consider ProtonMail as well..

Based in Switzerland and cares a lot about encryption and privacy.

Have you considered contributing to an open source project?

It allows you to bring a positive change to the project and/or world of your choosing.

I personally would love to work on FOSS the whole day... but yeah.. I guess we are all stuck somewhere :)

Just start small and maybe you'll become one of those damn lucky developers with a fulltime FOSS developer job.
