I've changed a little
This is the status after a year and eight months later: I only play one tournament a day when I have to pay something. I pay less about 1% of my bankroll. If I want to play more, I look for freerolls or some with play money. I have found in my statistics that if I play more than one tournament with real money my probability of winning sings drastically. If there is still time, I'll stop by streamers ... and try to learn something from there. Good luck at the tables.
Has anyone else changed their behavior?

Only play what you can afford to lose. If you're not using it you might as well put it in the stock market or a high interest bank account and get your 10% out everyday to pay with. You should never leave extra money on any of these gambling sites.
I use a crypto wallet (it don't need to be crypto currency either you can hold usd and exchange for bitcoin to transfer anywhere.) Its 100x safer than a trusted gambling site to hold your money.

Very little of it, I now have a bankroll of over $560.00 and if I stuck religiously to the 1% rule I could buy-in for $5.00 a game, I don't, not because I am afraid of losing, but I don't want to make a living from Poker, It has never been my motivation when I play Poker.
For me Poker is a fun game, a hobby, nothing more than that, When I play on-line there are things that are out of my control, a bad internet connection, or a computer malfunction, also playing at home there are always distractions, phone calls or visitors etc.
Playing Live events were different in that I would block out the outside World, Switch off my phone and concentrate on my game, and sure I could ignore my door bell or switch the phone off but that only stop's 2 possible interruptions, there are still other's to account for.
Only the other night playing a Cardschat free-roll my screen went white and everything froze, after trying for a couple of hours trying to get back to the game, I eventually gave up and found the problem the next day, but needless to say I was blinded out and lost, but Hey! it was a free-roll, Who Cares!
Can you imagine, How I would be if I had bought in for $25.00 or more, I would be throwing my Computer across the room and swearing at it, smashing other things that got in the way, But I didn't, Because for me Poker is not life changing, and I can win or lose whenever I want to, simply because I play on-line for FUN!
When the fun Stops, STOP!

I try to run 1-3 tables in one time, depends on which worth it the most.
About the buy-ins I think we all have different needs when it comes to selecting the right number, but one thing is sure: the more you have, the more safe you are.
100 is a cool round number, it can be a good start.

Your daily bankroll depends on the amount of total capital because someone wants to play in big tournaments in vain if they don’t have the money. What my friend dallam :icon_thum wrote about the hundredfold number is the right direction principle.
Although sometimes this is quite difficult to maintain.

TOO FUNNY! Gives new meaning to "boot the hard drive" But I so agree with you
