I love fountain pens. They write better, feel better to use, give more pleasure.
But they also randomly get mold sometimes, especially when one foolishly buys a half-used bottle of ink and uses it without checking. Well, guess I'm pouring out this ink and spending the rest of the night cleaning the pen.
@dbooster I picked up a bottle of Phenol from an online art supply store to add to ink as a mold preventative. Just a few drops for smaller quantities, maybe 6 or 8 for larger bottles. Phenol has more recently fallen out of use in consumer products, but it has a long history of use in inks.
what's your favourite way to create a good password?
obviously one word or name is quite bad, but there is not a chance to remember 10 random symbols that many websites offer as a strong password... what is the good solution?
Same as @anthoniix, KeePass makes my passwords. I have one master password that's super long but easy for me to remember, and everything else gets 16+ random letters, numbers, and characters generated by the software.
If you're not already using a password manager I highly recommend checking some out. Bitwarden and KeePass are two popular and open-source options.
#Beaverton: A new Filipino restaurant named Magna Kubo opened today. Near the corner of Broadway/Hall, next to where Pip's is going to be. Highly, highly recommend. #PDX#Portland
