Removed the post myself after realising the community only allows articles. My bad!

Migadu doesn’t provide sources for their deployment, as far as I know, but most of the components they use are open and available on the usual places: https://github.com/migadu

On my system, I can use the compose key to type a bunch of unicode chars, such as —, …, ≠, → and so on. Sadly, the pervasive use of em-dashes by LLMs ruined my use of them… It’s a pity, because I quite like them stylistically.

The recent evolution is great and I’ve been a happy KDE user for many years, but my oh my is NetworkManager bad. It’s not good on all systems that use it under the hood, but I find it especially unintuitive and so outdated. The applet thing is fine (still suffers from weird behaviour from NM’s core), but actual settings screen drives me crazy… The Bluetooth one should also receive some love, but it’s decent. NM needs serious revision.

The map is wildly simplistic, as usual for these Internet takes lol.
In Portugal, for example (where I come from), I don’t know anyone that keeps their shoes in-doors 95% the time. If you’re doing some quick work or holding an event, people might be a bit more lack about taking off your shoes, but I (and many my friends) always make an effort to take some kind of home footware when visiting other people’s homes. As a general rule? Everyone puts some socks/sleepers/flipflops on.

I agree it’s a nice way to try it out, though it has some limitations. Also, my experience with encryption at rest has been a mixed bag, though I think that’s just because Nextcloud’s implementation isn’t quite mature enough.

(happy cakeday!)

Yes! Oh my, I’m silly; that was precisely my point and I managed to mess it up 🙃

Thank you for the correction!

Ah, that’s a nice one!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key

It’s a key that makes the next 2 or more keystrokes be dead key inserts that combineinto some character otherwise impossible to type.

In my case, my keyboard had a ≣ Menu key which I never used, so I remapped it to Compose.

You’re correct, but that’s like saying along the lines of manufacturing a car is just bolting and soldering a bunch of stuff. It’s technically true to some degree, but it’s very disingenuous to make such a statement without being ironic. If you’re making these claims, you’re either incompetent or acting in bad faith.

I think there is a lot wrong with LLMs and how the public at large uses them, and even more so with how companies are developing and promoting them. But to spread misinformation and polute an already overcrowded space with junk is irresponsible at best.

I’ve been getting into the habit of also using em/en dashes on the computer through the Compose key. Very convenient for typing arrows, inequality and other math signs, etc. I don’t use it for ellipsis because they’re not visually clearer nor shorter to type.

That is not really true. Yes, there are jump instructions being executed when you run interference on a model, but they are in no way related to the model itself. There’s no translation of weights to jumps in transformers and the underlying attention mechanisms.

I suggest reading https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_(deep_learning_architecture)

Good point regarding ecommerce shops, was not aware they were sold there!

This. And to add to what other commenters have said, by using Bitwarden and paying for their Premium plan (very cheap, just $10/year), even if you don’t use all their features, you’re supporting a good project. It’s critical infrastructure, I think the price is more than fair.
Either way, you should always make periodic backups from any cloud service you use, encrypted of course.

This would be really neat, however it’s not trivial to sell those everywhere. If you’re lucky to live in a country or even city where they can get those to, you’re golden. If you don’t, you’re screwed.

Unfortunately, as much as I love the idea and tech behind Monero, actually accepting it is not practical at all, as the coin is used a lot for criminal stuff and is thus very strictly followed by many agencies. We don’t know if they can break it, but even they don’t, businesses can get a rough treatment just for accepting Monero. It’s perfectly understandable if they’d rather not do it.

Mullvad Browser isn’t bullet proof, it will not prevent fingerprinting entirely, though it makes it less reliable, especially if it isn’t sophisticated.

Finally! I had tried using the clunky torsocks not long ago and wondered why there was no namespace based solution yet. Glad to see this getting released, it will help many people. Tor ❤️

This is quite misleading and frankly low effort. Besides the readability issues, the chart makes a clear distinction between Proton Pass and Bitwarden when it comes to privacy, citing their privacy policy.

As it happens, however, Proton’s server code is closed, unaudited^[1] and not distributed, and the apps (web, Android and iOS) do not support setting different homeservers. This effectively means you cannot self-host your password manager and must be “locked” to Proton for what I consider to be one of the most fundamental and important pieces of technology a person can use.

Bitwarden, however, has opened their official C# server, their internal Rust SDK and the apps themselves too. Furthermore, they have several guides on how to self-host your own personal server, and have implemented settings in their apps to change the homeserver. There’s even an unofficial server, vaultwarden that is even better tailored for small, personal deployments.

All this to say: the fact they may collect some usage data on their website is very insignificant for their offering, in my opinion. The real value is in providing a secure vault that only the user can manage. If you need better privacy and/or anonymity, you should use tools specialized for that anyway, instead of blindly trusting a third-party’s Privacy Policy, no matter who they are. But then again, it’s the old game of threat models.

Ultimately, Bitwarden inspires more confidence than Proton, by giving those you can and want the ability to truly own their secrets.

I’m either being very dense right now, or I don’t have that o.I How is it called, or where is it located next to?

Wait what? Was there ever an option to open a private tab as a normal tab?? 🤔 I’d love to have that, but thought it would never get added. What version were you on before (and in which one are you now)?
