In my mind, a passkey authenticates the device, while the password authenticates you, the user. Passkeys let us limit which devices are allowed to connect with our credentials. A hacker in Eastern Europe could steal my login, but if their laptop isn't authorized, it makes an account takeover much harder.

(Side note: This is also why I'm uncomfortable putting TOTP codes and passkeys in the same password manager as the regular login credentials. It effectively defeats the whole purpose, turning multi-factor authentication back into single-factor again.)

Google Docs now supports Markdown files, so if I need to convert the Markdown file to Word or PDF, I just open it in Docs and download it in the format I need. (Pandoc also works for this, as the author mentions). Converting HTML to Markdown can also be done in Docs: copy and paste the web page text into Google Docs, and download the file as Markdown.

For mobile, I use the DriveSync app to download my notes (Markdown) folder to my phone. Then I use Obsidian to open and edit the files.

Also, a small nitpick: if someone is starting from zero, I'd argue "effectiveness" probably shouldn't be the goal...it should be finding an activity the person loves and wants to keep doing. From my own experience: For years I hated fitness and avoided it at all costs...until I found a gym with group fitness classes that I fell in love with. From there, losing weight was easy because I was just doing something I loved.

Running is great, I'm not knocking it at all. But I would also try other activities to see what sticks (hiking, weightlifting, rock climbing, social sports leagues, etc.)

There's also lots of free beginner-friendly workouts on YouTube (where you follow-along with an instructor).

I didn't realize they were formed that recently; I thought it would have been created at the start of the regime.

Yashar Ali (@yashar) on Twitter has been covering these protests extensively. I'm waiting for him to comment on this, but it doesn't appear he's awake yet.

Also, don't get all of your validation from other people, because it can be very inconsistent; instead, get your validation through things you are good at (like hobbies, skills, etc.)

It's a super simple way to use envelope accounting (ala Dave Ramsey), without using actual cash.

In the video, the guy recommends MoneyDance, but the same system would probably work in GnuCash too.

I think "spam" is a better analogy than a computer virus.

If you decide to seek professional help via a diet specialist, be advised that a nutritionist and dietitian are not the same. A dietitian is a licensed medical field; in most states, anyone can call themselves a nutritionist and open a practice.

Good luck with your weight loss journey!
