Failing to Note Things Down Has Cost Me

July 6, 2023

As everyone here has noticed, I've been quite dead online for the past couple of months. While part of that was due to some heavy stuff I was going through at the time, the other part was literally forgetting most of the passwords I have for things. I insisted on 'memorizing' my passwords to GPG keys and accounts based on the objects in my room, since I was paranoid about my mom finding them if I were to write them down. The problem with that is that the objects in my room have shifted a lot in the past couple of months and now I have literally no idea what I was looking at when making those passwords. SSH keys for Altesq, passwords for my XMPP and e-mail, etc.—the only thing I probably still do remember is my VM disk encryption password, even if that's kind of moot since the only reason I had that was to safely access my XMPP accounts. Hopefully I'll get to sort this all out eventually. ....OR I'll forget about it again. Trusting that memory(and a bit of paranoia about mom) got me into this situation.
