  • I think for me it’s the scale of my work projects and lack of deep interest in the projects themselves. Hobby projects get started because I have some kind of interest that I want to expand on by writing some code. For instance, RF and aviation are two interests and I recently wrote an ADSB message decoder with a map kind of like flightradar24 does. That’s super interesting to me, so writing that code is fun. It’s also way smaller of a project than my work projects.






  • Yeah, a couple people are saying that, but I can’t find any information on how it’s implemented for providers. Regardless, not having an account is one less avenue for my information to be leaked. I do worry more about the doctor’s security practices (2FA, password complexity, password rotation, etc…) than my own.






  • I’m taking a stance against these platforms by always declining to ever create an account on them when the doctor’s office asks. Having medical data accessible like this is just asking for an attack, followed by a leak. And then I can only assume insurance companies buy these leaked databases and adjust rates accordingly.






  • I think the easiest would be to downgrade to the 350mbps plan and see if you can even tell there is a difference. If you do a lot of downloading of large files (Linux isos and steam games) those will go slower. Anecdotally, I’m a software developer who works from home and I have never felt an upgrade from my 300mpbs plan to be necessary, but I don’t download a ton of large files very often and this decision obviously takes into account my personal income and expenses.
