Federated login for fediverse, when?More precisely, is there a #RFC spec for a federated #authentication protocol somewhere? Could be a nightmare to moderate and ensure robustness of the network under outages. Perhaps some servers can form a #WebOfTrust which makes a good balance between authentication portability, security and moderation.#ActivityPub

I got this again while running a Python application tldr$ tldr manError fetching from tldr: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:997)>Could it be that the package ca-certificates 20211016~20.04.1Is too old? I don't see any updates from #Ubuntu https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ca-certificates&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

It is not a #KDE bug. The solution was to runhttps://askubuntu.com/questions/1366704/how-to-install-latest-ca-certificates-on-ubuntu-14sudo dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificatesAnd select everyone of Mozilla's certificates to override Debian's CA certificates. I might need to run `sudo update-ca-certificates` in the future, or not. We'll see.#SSL #Debian #Ubuntu

Oh #snap! The snap-based firefox sneaked into the system during the upgrade process. Thankfully @tuxedocomputers 's deb repositories supply a native build. Using that insteadsnap remove firefox

@urusanDataclasses are cool, but I feel the real game changer has been gradual #typing in #Python. The syntax has really come of age with Python 3.9+https://peps.python.org/pep-0585/

Guess what, Signal plans to remove SMS support. #Signal back in the days encrypted your SMS, when it was called TextSecure. The feature which was removed and now lives as the app #Silence. Because UI/UX.Now they say SMS is unencrypted and deserves to live off in some other app. Unencrypted SMS was still nice to have since a huge chunk of my contacts continue to use #Whatsapp.https://signal.org/blog/sms-removal-android/

Are Swedish breads some sort of monopoly? I bought a Skogaholm bread today and it had a Polfärskt label and the back said it was made by Fazer. That's almost all companies which make sliced bread here.

A friend said Israel's #Technion university's whole IT and LAN infrastructure is under a #ransomware attack. His devices were apparently unaffected but he can't do his work because he relies on #matlab, #labview which requires license servers :harold:. I gently recommended to1. give #Octave a go, or rewrite things in :python: :blobcatfingerguns: 2. start changing passwords and use a password manager.

Reading this news story on "Is #TikTok’s ‘shoppertainment’ sales model pushing Gen Z into debt?"My solution to refusing tempting discounts is simple. Whenever I see outrageous sales like 60%, I will be like, I stand to save 100% if I don't buy it :blobcatfingerguns:https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/mar/16/tiktoks-shoppertainment-model-gen-z-debt

To be fair, to reach this state of mind is not simple. I grew up with tangible cash in hand. So the difference between 100, 500 and 1000 was substantial. Digital currencies conceal this fact.Reviewing your monthly expenses and taking a look at the things you have to throw out in trash makes you yearn for #minimalism.
