Joplin because I struggled for years with a consistent way to keep and refer to notes that I could find easily at a moment’s notice and access from any device, anywhere.
(Please don’t tell me about how you use a text editor and markdown in your home directory Like GH* INTENDED because I tried that FOR A DECADE and it didn’t work for me. I’m old and cranky. Get off my lawn! :)
Totally agree. Many people who keep using Chrome have a VERY outdated view of what Firefox can do. That’s a shame, but it’s unfortunately an aspect of human nature that negative impressions are SUPER hard to change.
I don’t think that’s always the case. 1Password started out as a personal password manager and only added the corporate/teams/families features later.
I blame the tinfoil hat infosec crowd for not understanding that the world they inhabit is not the same one Regular Users live in.
Is there risk in keeping all your passwords in one place, whether it’s on your hardware or someone else’s? hell yes! Is that risk stastically speaking ANYTHING LIKE the risk you take when you use ‘pencil’ for all your passwords because you can’t be arsed to memorize anything more complex? OH HELL YES.
Sure, if you’re defending against nation state level agressors, maybe using a password manager isn’ the wisest choice, but for easily 99% of computer users, we’re at the level of “keeping people from drooling on their shoes”. So password managers are probably a GREAT idea.
Friends don’t let friends run Chrome.
Just here to say thank goodness for the EFF. I support them, and if you live a cushy life like I do and have the money, you should too.
I looked at their site and thought: What a #!@$ stupid idea.
The whole thing stinks of Twitter brain. “Follow topics, not people”? So what you’re saying is that the null brains on Twitter are far too focused on whenever one of the Kardassians farts to focus on anything real?
Puhh-lease. The Fediverse isn’t about that all.
Hard pass.
Convos - self hosted web based client written in Perl of all things, because it’s small, simple, does exactly what I want and no more, and avoids my having to faff with client + bouncer which was getting old 10 years ago and feels positively withering now.
Yes TheLounge is fantastic but I switched to Convos these days because it’s lighter weight and I somehow manage to overrun my disk much less often :)
Nice to see that KDE is so well supported! I’d been running Manjaro KDE the last time I had Linux installed on my desktop but I may give Debian a try this time around.
I’m not gonna speak for Canonical but snaps enable commercial vendors to more readily ship their apps on the Ubuntu platform.
Humans are inherently evil. There is but a thin veneer we call “civilization” that stops of from beating each other to death with whatever object can be brought to hand.
And what does any of this have to do with the price of tea in China? :)
I get it.
I don’t love Snaps either.
However, a thing I try to remember and wish others would as well is simply this: Canonical is a company. Their goal is to make money. They are not out to create the ultimate free as in freedom Linux distribution.
This does (to my mind) not make them evil, and ESPECIALLY doesn’t make the folks who work there evil. It makes them participants in the great horrible game that is Capitalism, and expecting anything else from them is going to lead to heartache, as you’ve seen.
If you want a Linux distro that shares your preferences and won’t try to jam snaps down your throat, you might consider giving Debian a whirl as many others have.
Continuing to ride the Ubuntu train and raging against the dying of the light when it continues chugging in the direction it’s been headed for YEARS seems … futile :)
Good. The more they abuse their user base the more people will look for alternatives. Hello Lemmy! :)
This one goes to 11 :) seriously though? Good on them. The good guys deserve their fair share of hype too!
Honestly I think that the entire landscape of science fiction awards has gone pear shaped and become hopelessly politicized.
And, like the hyper polarization of human society at large, I don’t see a solution.
You’ll always have the Sad Puppies (Vox Dei followers in sheep’s clothing) versus the folks who see themselves as doing good by amplifying under-represented voices.
At the end of the day maybe these larger awards need to go away and be replaced by partisan versions, which is kind of a sad fate to contemplate.
Yup that’s the solution I went with in the end analysis. Just use the exported text file copies of my keys and I’m good to go :)
Interesting food for thought here, but you’re talking about making the keys more secure.
These keys are ONLY used to store E-mail credentials, so “Good enough” is plenty :) I’ll work on successfully retaining and managing my single key first, and then we can work on flying around the room :)
But thanks!
Hey I just want to thank you for this. It did indeed do exactly what I wanted! I think in the past when I’d tried to export my secret key I musn’t have used the right parameters because I could never import it, but when I follow this guide I can!
So now I can just store plaintext private and public keys on my private NAS and import them on any machine where they’re needed and I’m good to go!
Here’s some “high quality” (heh heh) anecdata for you: I navigated from my house in Somerville to a restaurant in the Seaport district of Boston last night, in the POURING rain using public transit and walking.
Google maps literally was leading me around in circles downtown once I got off the train, so I switched to Apple Maps and it was straight shooting from there on in.
I think GMaps is more susceptible to the tall buildings fouling the GPS. Not sure why?
