Agree with this, especially about movement. Overall the main bad thing about regular desks and comfy chairs, is that you can sit at them without changing your posture for hours, which is bad for everything: blood circulation, posture, muscles, etc. “The best posture is your next one.”
I work from the floor now mainly… it’s cheap, portable, forces you to move, doesn’t require anything besides maybe a few pillows and any coffee table or raised surface for a laptop.
The jellyfin docker is really easy to set up. And then you get the benefit of complete portability.
I really wanted this, but couldn’t find anything than worked well. I ended up using tasks.org, an open source todo list that has great calendar functionality and syncing, and moved all my calendar events to it.
Hedgedoc or etherpad work.
That rabbit hole goes very deep, but I’m not knowledgeable enough to speak on it. It could very well be a crypto AG style honey-pot, or already cracked tech, that we might not know about for years to come.
There is no reason to do any of that. No one forced signal to use phone numbers as their primary identifier, and plenty of privacy oriented chat programs don’t require that.
I’m sot trusting anything from signal themselves, just like I wouldn’t trust anything apple, microsoft, google, or any other US-based company with centralized services says about themselves.
That got added recently, but you still need a phone number to sign up. A phone number is tied to your identity, meaning that signal’s database has the names and addresses of everyone who uses it. And since signal is US-based, its subject to US national security letters, meaning its illegal for signal to tell anyone that the US government has requested information about who they’re talking to.
Under the Obama administration, an average of 60 NSLs were issued every single day.
I think they even have pen (like, writing pen) cameras that can fit inside a front pocket for pretty cheap.
Give me your phone number so I can chat with you on signal about this.
The US-state-department funding is important sure, but you also ignored every other point in that article.
Almost all those can be self-hosted, and built from source, so matrix, xmpp, simplex, are fine. Don’t use anything that’s uses a centralized server in a five eyes country, like signal or threema.
This tech could easily work with any type of camera too, that’s a lot harder to identify than glasses with a light that turns on when its recording. Hidden cameras on pins, necklaces, clothing, etc.
I don’t think many ppl are down on rust… it’s won developer’s most favorite to use for like 5+ years now in a row on stackoverflow.
I was tempted to say Ruby, but based on my friends that are learning (or tried to learn Japanese), it seems like Ruby is trying to be the opposite. So not sure.
Ruby would maybe fit with toki pona : terse, simple, predictable.
You can install a gemini / gopher browser to see what sites look like with them.
You can’t self-host it. People asked for this feature, and were harshly turned down by the signal devs. If you don’t believe me, then try it yourself.
Makes sense, although it’d be nice for privacy-oriented people to have this thin-layer that converts any site into a de-bloated version that they can view safely. As far as I know, there isn’t any tool that even provides this option right now.
I think Gemini or Gopher includes both. They don’t read html / javascript, so they definitely wouldn’t look the same.
Nice, that’s a really good idea.
