First, that's what recovery codes are.

Second, that's what backups are for.

Frankly, given what we've seen with LastPass this past year alone, there is absolutely no one I would trust to host any of my credentials.

My TOTP seeds go in a Keepass database that has a very long passphrase. That database is then sync'd across devices with syncthing and included in encrypted backups.

The thing that I struggle with is, once I have this data... what do I do with it? I'd like to pull it to a laptop for analysis and so forth, but I've never found a decent open source package for that kind of thing (the closest I found is pytrainer and it is, to put it mildly, a little rough around the edges).

Any recommendations that I'm not aware of?

Since we're talking comfort food and not best of/favourites:

TOS: The Immunity Syndrome.

I have no idea why. Seriously. It's inexplicable. There are lots of better episodes (Balance of Terror, The Menagerie, The City on the Edge of Forever just to name a few), but something about The Immunity Syndrome makes for perfect chill out/nap TV for me...

The problem is DMs. Having what appears to be a "private" communication mechanism that isn't private at all might mislead users into divulging information that could put them at risk.

Exactly what I do. Unless you need fancier collaboration features--issue tracker, UI for handling PRs, etc--a bare repo on the other side of ssh plus something like cgit if you want to make the code available via a browser is perfectly sufficient.

I occasionally listen to twit and my only major complaints are: 1) Leo interrupts his guests too much, and 2) whenever Amy Web or Owen Stone come on I have to skip the episode...

That's legitimately a lot less than I would've expected. Factor in home care; uncovered healthcare expenditures like drugs, in-home adaptations, and other equipment like canes and walkers and so forth; dental and optical; and of course basic room and board, and at the later stages of life I would've expected more like 5-6k a month, largely thanks to a healthcare system that fails to support the elderly, which is ironic given the now-elderly boomers will get to reap what they sowed when they cut/failed to invest in those systems they now need.

Honestly that's... kinda wild to me.

My stove has 8-9 power levels ranging from basically warming all the way to a high powered boost mode that'll get a saucepan boiling in 2 minutes flat and faster than any gas stove I've used. Some models have even finer gradations but mine is sufficient for my needs.

Temperature changes are near-instaneous since the stove is directly heating the cookware just like gas, there's just a short pause as the power level adjusts (e.g. when going from a boil to a simmer).

Because the cooktop stays relatively cool compared to a traditional coil electric stove, messes are just a matter of wiping things up. Things never cook on. In this respect it's actually better than gas since there's no burners to clean. About the only issue is potentially scratching the ceramic.

And on top of that, I never have to worry about a cookware handle accidentally being heated by a flame and burning my hand, or an ignitor failing. Having worked with gas in the past I genuinely only see downsides compared to a modern induction unit.

Disagree. Induction is as good or better than gas in the ways that matter: great control and responsiveness, high power, super easy to clean, etc. And I'm also not burning hydrocarbons in my home.

A while back I weighed the options and I couldn't be happier having gone with induction.
