Caste followers have a lot of undue social advantage over the oppressed groups (like in any other form of discrimination). Admitting that it exists would be the first step to giving up those undue privileges. It's perhaps that subconsc

Rust has an undeniably steep learning curve which can cause a productivity penalty for beginners. However, there are some statements in this article I simply can't agree with based on personal experience. I'm using Rust to develop

I have a different experience with Rust these days. The errors that Rust throws are either the ones I had a vague hunch about or the ones I missed. It never feels like friction, but rather like helping guides. The error messages are informa

These sorts of incidents would be far more common if bosses shit talked their employees in the public and tanked their brand image in the process in front of their users and future employees. Fortunately, almost everyone else is smart enoug

Any plans to publish this on your blog? It's a much more elegant source of information. This also belongs there with the other great articles.

Indeed! The headline gave false hopes that the article may advocate for returning to plain text emails. It instead talks as if the biggest problem with email is the lack of even more complicated features. The introduction of html has alread

You could use XCA [1] for small scale deployments, or step-ca [2] for a more comprehensive setup. [1] https://www.hohnstaedt.de/xca/ [2] https://smallstep.com/docs/step-ca

Other commenters have mentioned interactive and patch staging. That is the standard way to ensure that only the lines you specify go into a commit. I want to add an alternative method that offers some extra advantages. Patch stack managemen

The ad is about a git tool (hiflux) that happens to be written in Rust. That is perfectly relevant in this context. Rust is also a good language to write such tools (as is Go). I understand why Rust evangelism can be a bit tiring. But the o

The perfect commit is useful only when you're ready to publish. Development can be chaotic with all the half-done or possibly-wrong code. You don't need to worry about all those standards while you're still developing. The pe

Client certs as implemented on Gemini and IRC are self-signed. They are enrolled on the service after they're created. They don't need enterprise level capabilities. In fact, even the creation of these certificates are automated o

I don't think I understand passkeys. The best I could make out is that it uses an asymmetric key pair for authentication. How is this different from self-signed TLS client certificates (like the ones used in Gemini protocol) or CertFP

I can confirm it works on MailInaBox. So it should probably work on any installation that uses Postfix and/or Dovecot.

I used lsp-mode for a while and then switched to eglot. The reason was that lsp-mode has quite a lot of dependencies including helm and hydra. This can be inconvenient when you use their alternatives likes the vertico-corfu stack. I didn&#x

How familiar are you with Lisps? I heard somewhere that it's easier for a complete beginner to start learning programming with lisps than with traditional languages. I started with more mainstream languages, but my experience tends to

Yes, that's certainly possible - especially with tools like kind. However, the reason I prefer LXD over Docker/OCI is that the former behaves more like a full OS. LXD containers are system containers which are like VMs except for

I use Kubernetes within an LXD container with Btrfs backing storage. This isn't anything special. But it has two advantages. The first is that you could try out multi-node K8s clusters on a single system. The second is that the contain

I use LXD these days and I love it. It's easy enough to deploy without knowing too much internal details. Its CLI is also intuitive and well designed. It's true that LXD doesn't support installation outside snap. However, man

I was hoping to see a more modern alternative to the VTE terminal protocol and its derivatives. Does anybody have any good suggestions and possible implementations?

Oh! I missed the 'uncrewed' part! Nevertheless, the video itself has a good view of the failure. I can't wait for the public domain failure analyses based on it.

So, you're supposed to avoid doing factory reset on a phone once your account is banned? Sounds like an essential feature being held hostage.

You could set up auto-renewal. Good registrars also remind you when the domain is about to expire. In any case, using a custom domain is safer than relying on a single email provider.

The danger occurs when a human body is touching surfaces at different potentials. In fact, shorting all electric points together during a strike (using gas discharge tubes or something else similar) is the way to avoid accidents. You could

Interesting! I will try out that tip. Thank you!

Thank you for the pointer! Definitely something worth looking deeper into. However, I was talking more about the software side of things - so that we won't be locked into a hardware platform. That said, they do have an idea in the righ

That's a problem with very easy solutions, considering what's at stake. Use a paperkey, NFC card, smartcard or even a printed data matrix sheet to store the keys and/or password DBs. The reason why all these aren't popul

Honesty, I wish self hosting was easy enough for ordinary people to do. Then there would be no reason to recommend people to fragment their digital life among dozens of ad-funded SaaS platforms. There is no reason why it has to be so hard.

In addition, backing up the services isn't that costly these days. Backblaze provides massive storage space at cheap rates and integrates well with encrypted backup software like Duplicity, Borg or Restic. Recovery from failure is usua
