buy Outsite lifetime membership for $499, will use it for next nomad trips, cause I need to replace now-defunct Selina, and Outsite is the perfect match (more premium too) 
#life
upgrade all my VPS Linux kernels to latest cause another super high criticality CVE was just fixed this morning #life
move MFA of my stock broker from password manager to Yubikey so that sensitive stock broker auth is now true hardware multi factor for improved safety #life
go buy food because fridge is empty and just realized tomorrow is day off in FR so most grocery shops are closed #life
finally complete upgrading all my Digital Nomad gear to be 100% USB-C w/ new AirPods Pro + Magic Mouse, ditch all micro-USB and Lightning and simplify charging cables by upgrading all my long USB cables to tiny 30cm charging cables #life
test new AirPods Pro 3 that I bought this weekend and noise cancellation is far superior from the Pro 2 — loving it! #life
declare FR taxes after 3h collecting reports from various banks, companies and brokers, then filling forms... and at the end I realized I still owe a shit ton of money that I don't have anymore in cash (cause I bought a new Tesla), because FR changed tax law a bit for 2025 and I didnt account for it cause tax code got so much more complex lately (cause country is basically broke so it’s getting more and more socialist)
so now I will either need to take a loan or sell assets to pay extra surprise taxes #life
upgrade personal servers exposed to the internet to fix new critical Linux kernel vulnerability potentially allowing root escalation #life
buy a short phone lanyard to attach my yubikey in my backpack front pocket for easy access cause in case of an emergency it used to be very long to reach cause it’s so small so I stored it in a tight pocket in a small bag inside the bag (3 zippers to unzip just to get the yubi)
now I can just open front pocket quickly and pull on yubi and scan with phone NFC to get a MFA code like real quick #life
study how to simplify my assets structure in company because I don’t want to have anything to do anymore with French bureaucracy over the long run.
the more revenue generating assets you own the more complex it becomes to manage every year when its tax season cause need to add personal income tax + preparing all my companies financial statements #life
