    1. Best way to subscribe to podcast back-catalogs?

      Every now and then I come across a limited-run podcast that wrapped up ages ago and I want to add it to my feed. I don't want to manually click through the old episodes one by one, I want to...

      Every now and then I come across a limited-run podcast that wrapped up ages ago and I want to add it to my feed. I don't want to manually click through the old episodes one by one, I want to subscribe to it as if it were being published in realtime. Are there any tools that can help me with this?

      I think what I'm looking for is some sort of app that republishes an existing RSS feed with a date offset based on whatever recent date you subscribe to it. Even better would be something that lets me specify my own custom drip rate so I can binge through large catalogs at my own pace.

      I've been thinking about coding something like this but I don't want to reinvent the wheel if an existing solution is already out there.

    2. Is there a GPS watch that does not have any wireless radios?

      I’m looking for a device that can track runs, whether it’s a watch or small device, which just exports raw GPS data via USB. I don’t want it to have Bluetooth, and it’s not enough to be able to...

      I’m looking for a device that can track runs, whether it’s a watch or small device, which just exports raw GPS data via USB. I don’t want it to have Bluetooth, and it’s not enough to be able to disable it, I would just like it to not have any wireless radios whatsoever. Have you guys ever seen anything like this? I feel like it doesn’t exist on the market.

    3. Increasing personal security online and Yubikey

      I have recently noticed an uptick in phishing emails and SMSs, getting me to click on some malicious link and this has been troubling me.
      I am fairly good about what I click and so far I haven't clicked anything malicious (I think). However, this has motivated me to up my online security.

      All my computers run Linux and I use an Android phone.

      For browsing I use Firefox, with NoScript (and uBlock) and use containers for separating personal/shopping sites, etc.
      I also have host file blocking on my computers and phone (using AdAway).

      I do have a pi-hole setup at home as well.

      I also have 2FA setup on all my banking accounts, email accounts etc.
      However all my banking account 2FA is still just using SMS. Which I think is now easily circumvented.
      Email accounts do use Authenticator apps (like Authy and Google Authenticator).

      I also use a password manager (this one), which works well for me, but is only available on my computer and not from my phone. I am split between having my password manager available on my phone tho, since it is always on me and could be stolen or have something malicious installed on. What do you guys think? I am wary of services like LastPass, is that valid?

      So I wanted to start a thread to discuss what do you guys do to stay safe online?
      I am also considering getting a pair of Yubikey (one backup), are there any caveats/pitfalls I need to be aware of with Yubikey?
