@SystemSock Thank you plexiglass. I've been working a double shift and without you I would have been sneezed on by 20 people who are so selfish that they weren't even wearing a mask. Thanks to plexiglass I might not die and leave my daughter without a mother. [Sometimes it isn't about you]

@dredmorbius @seasharp @eqe I used to keep my passphrases in a GPG encrypted file. Then I found an openssl plugin for vim and added a bash alias to pass.aesa. On android I use KeePassDroid, so keepass2 on linux made sense. The important part is backup, which I do NOT do.. because it is done for me by a script, to a few encrypted backup sites. (As long as it is properly encrypted you can even use the "free" cloud file share platforms.)

@debugninja I legally have to maintain between 7 and 11 years worth of work email, depending on jurisdiction. Thankfully I have aggressive filtering, especially for anything with an attachment.

@newt The "acceptable range" of having an opinion on the weight ratio, (it's singular because a ratio requires two values) of bodies in other people's relationships is zero. You don't have to have an opinion on things that do not effect you.

@urusan Depends on the problem domain, engineering constraints, human limitations.

@solidsanek I had so many sleepless nights until I got a mosquito net. (It's actually just a BRYNE from ikea that I sewed shut.)

@seb I have a local copy of python on all of my desktop/laptop and most of my servers. I can virtualenv or run a docker instance for particular configs. If I just want to check some function from stackoverflow:https://pythonandturtle.com/orhttps://www.katacoda.com/courses/python/playgroundHow is "someone else's" computer, handy if I can do all of this myself?

@digeex If you aren't installing your own Operating System, then install Blokada and see how often "your" phone calls the mothership. (Or you can block all *miui.com and *xiaomi* graph.facebook* app-measurement* and see that you should install your own OS.)

@DeveloperMemes As an interviewer I'd presume that they meant strawberryperl.com and that I shouldn't hire them.

@kzimmermann After one of the BSD (free, net, open, dragonfly) try Slackware, (and compile a kernel with exact what the D620 needs and strip out everything else.)

@seb Oh goddess no! Repeat after me: Javascript belongs in the browser, NOT on the server. NodeJS is a toy for children, just as PHP was before it. Separation of concerns means that fewer front-end bugs become server side nightmares. #npm_was_a_mistake

@kev [Literal] Old man shouts at cloud.Yes facegram is evil. Yes Web 1.0's PHP became Web 2.0 node.js mistake. But we don't have to be all doom and gloom. We have https://degoogle.jmoore.dev/ and https://github.com/zaqas /deFacebookI'm working on a single bash script to install Mastodon on a Raspberry Pi using only a Rust compiler.We have the skills. We can share those with others to help them break their ignorant addiction to WhatsApp. #use_signal :ablobcatattention:

@seb [only partly joking] rewrite it all in Rust-lang, (they have relatively low cases of smugness, despite having all of the "we told you so" high ground.)

@deletescape Sad but true. I knew that Firefox was being, (mostly) funded by Google to prevent Chrome having the same antitrust problems as iExplorer but I didn't notice that Mozilla had turned into a zombie with an over paid head that barely cares about the foundation until I had to port all of my add-ons to Firefox57 and found that I could mostly just clone the Chrome extensions that I'd written. [I'm glad that Mozilla could spawn Rust with its dying breath.]

Has anyone used https://delta.chat/ ? It's e2e encryption is based on https://autocrypt.org/ and I haven't seen a code audit for either.

@seb I'm still surprised that this isn't standard everywhere, but I block everything, (in and out) and then only whitelist things that I need. (And I have a note for each entry specifying [adatetime, mdatetime, "service", "reason", "requester" ] ) nft/iptables for linux ; tinywall for windows; blockada for android. The days of blacklists should be over.

For those that haven't already worked it out, anyone using the term "Web3" is letting you know that what they are saying can be ignored, and that they do not understand the problem and have no useful solution. #Web0 https://web0.small-web.org/

Are there any iPhone apps that can do CalDAV without mixing them in with all of the other calendars on the phone? I've created a caldav sever for some friends and one of the people wants to have a separate app just for THIS calendar that won't show up in their existing iCal app. #iPhone #CalDAV

[shower thought] Opensource clearing house: A site like gitlab where people can outline projects that they need or think would be good/useful, but they know they will never have the time to get around to them. (Also useful for teachers that need novel ideas for their students.)
