A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

A paper notebook is basically the same fundamental as a password manager but with a different tradeoff. You trade cryptographic security for a reliance on physical security. Its probably a great option for a lot of older people who only log into things from home. But its just a password manager. An analogue one.
Flashcards are dumb for this. If you are going to write it down, just secure it. Don't have them out all the time to try to memorise it. Jese. The worst of both.
