Sorry, unfortunately can’t help you there. My matrix server is not federated, I remember back then I created an account on matrix.org specifically to read these. But maybe they got deleted in the meantime?

Anyways, I have been really happy with continuwuity, to the point that up until now, I haven’t even looked at tuwunel again. The maintainers of continuwuity seem really nice and engaged, and both from a usage and stability point of view, as well as for the actually surprisingly fast release cycle, I have no complaints. I found and fixed a bug a couple weeks ago, and the dev process was also very friendly and relaxed.

In short: while I don’t know how things are on the tuwunel side, I’m very happy to have gone with continuwuity and have high hopes for the future of the project.

And yet, in non-English speaking countries, virtually every kid is taught English to a level that’s at least “roughly business”.

I also reject your premise of 8 hours / day for a year; how about 1-2 hours / day for 4-8 years.

In the case of English, school kids would get more like 2-4hrs per week and be perfectly fluent after a couple of years, btw.

a number of these things are actual security exploits

yes, sure, but in the sense of “social engineering the slopbot”, not “there’s a vulnerability in [x] which does not apply proper sanitation to non-body text content before evaluating it”

Ah, makes sense. My mind was going more towards actual security exploits, but… yeah. Makes sense.

Anyways, thank you Flere-Imsaho, I will never not love seeing your username on here.

I’m apparently too out of coffee dumb to properly get the joke. What’s the implications if some system parses the PNG text chunks in the same way it does the body of the email?

Let’s hope the same thing will happen if/when the US tries to take Greenland; but honestly, I’m not optimistic. At least here in Germany, politicians and businesses are so used to licking the US’ boot that I have a hard time imagining a seismic shift. Not to mention that thanks to our dependence on US software, we’re incredibly vulnerable.

Still. One can hope.

Warte nach 8 Jahren immer noch auf reine Haut, aber ansonsten, joa!

Incredible?

You do have a point. TBH I only now realized that the video was posted from Doctorow’s personal account, and without a link to the “original”, which yeah, kinda weird.

The talk itself is still worth it (had the fortune of sitting in the audience), but probably a good idea to use the media.ccc.de link.

Originally/additionally hosted on media.ccc.de

Danke, bester Lacher den ich heute hatte

Mein feuchter Traum ist ein Verbot nicht-chronologischer Feeds auf Social-Media-Plattformen, die unter den DMA fallen

Yeaaaaah I saw that on the schedule and decoded to not go, lol.

That’s awesome! I have kinda-ish similar goals. Want to try N4 in October (well… Goal is N3, realistic is N4). Not half as far as you with Kanji though.

The show is endlessly quotable

Mallory Archer?

Universal Android Debloater.

It’s a community-rating systems for apps, and you can remove/permanently (even through os updates) disable them through ADB, without actually needing to know anything about ADB because uad comes in a nice GUI package.

I think I removed ~200 apps (most of them invisible, background ads stuff) from my phone. Much better experience.

Really? Which ones? I didn’t notice any

Campari

Idk. With Arch I felt like I constantly had to be on top of things. With nix, everything is rock solid and stable, and if I want to change or add something, I do that, once, and then it’s also rock solid until all eternity and across all my machines.

In total I might have spent more time interacting with nix already, but it feels less like “work” than with arch. Higher setup burden, almost zero maintenance burden and zero mental overhead.

Happy holidays btw

Edit: forgot to include the context. For the Thunderbird example, I have spent 1-2 hours once, 2 years ago, converting all the Thunderbird config options to nix, and adding my mail accounts through nix. I have not had to go into the Thunderbird settings since, and after doing a fresh install on a new machine, my accounts are already THERE on first boot. A lot of things are tedious in nix, but you do them ONCE.
