Started looking into gemini space. Love how it feels - it's like the web ca. mid-90s. UI is back under your control and you can focus on reading the content instead of getting the site to work (because either you have issues with noscript turned on and sites requiring JS to display text or you have it disabled and have to click through modal windows informing you of cookie settings, sign up for that newsletter, etc. to get to the content).
I'm using Castor and wanted to merry it to my Gnome desktop, so clicking links in Firefox/Chromium opens them in Castor. Oh, and I got a gopher client for free with it as well. Was bummed when Firefox dropped gopher support. Here's how to register the gemini protocol in Gnome (and build castor):
While grep and sed are commoly used, awk fills a valuable niche when processing structured text, avoiding multiple pipes or more complicated regex extractions. Here is a handy flowchart to pick the ideal tool for your text processing task:
A plaintext chart and a simple example making use of several awk features can be found here:
Maybe a concept we could evaluate for use in our fediverse software as well:
This forms a relative reputation system. As uncomfortable as it may be, one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter, and different jurisdictions have different laws - and it’s not up to the Matrix.org Foundation to play God and adjudicate. Each user/moderator/admin should be free to make up their own mind and decide which reputation feeds to align themselves with.
Everything you always wanted to know about punch card data encoding, but were afraid to ask:
RT @Esquiring - Sufficiently advanced data recovery is indistinguishable from dark cybernetic ritual:
Duff's device (ca. 1984)
register n = (count + 7) / 8; /* count > 0 assumed */switch (count % 8)
{
case 0: do { *to = *from++;
case 7: *to = *from++;
case 6: *to = *from++;
case 5: *to = *from++;
case 4: *to = *from++;
case 3: *to = *from++;
case 2: *to = *from++;
case 1: *to = *from++;
} while (--n > 0);
}
elrido mag das.
Seien wir froh, müssen wir uns nur mit den modernen Datums- & Zeit-Problemen herumschlagen. Hier hat jemand eine ähnliche Liste mit Ausnahmen in alt-römischen Kalender-Problemen zusammengetragen:
Zwar von Google, aber enthält sehr interessante Informationen: google.com/covid19/mobility/
Zeigt eindrucksvoll was man aus den Metadaten alles rauslesen kann, wenn man Zugriff auf all das hat.

- test.dssr.ch/ - Infos zur eigenen Verbindung mit dem Webserver auf (IP, Verschlüsselung, etc.)
- meet.dssr.ch/ - video meetings, etherpad, screensharing
Hinweise und Verbesserungsvorschläge sind herzlich willkommen!

I discovered it had stored over 150 accounts from a work related device more then 5 years ago, when I must have signed in with a google account, that I only created to be able to use an Android back then. Fortunately most accounts got their passwords changed since then, but I deleted them all nonetheless and will have to change passwords on some of them.
I do use a password manager integrated in Firefox (Passman), but store those in my nextcloud instance at home, where I can physically pull the plug if necessary. The fact that the Google browsers did this without my consent or even telling me that this was part of what the Google account did is really bad UX design, to say the least. Firefox was always very transparent about its synchronization feature and back in the day you could synch it with your own server instead of the Mozilla provided one. At least I can choose to use Firefox without signing in and with different, self-hosted synchronization solutions.
