@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Those birthday cards were quite popular, yes. 😅

drying takes around a day?

Nah, it’s a few minutes. At least with the ink(s) that I’m using. 🤔

@justamoment@twtxt.net Oh! Well that’s a different story then. 😵 (Thinking about it, I don’t think I’ve ever met someone with dyslexia in person … Hmmm.)

@justamoment@twtxt.net Thanks 😅 To be fair, though, I think it’s easier to write Fraktur than normal handwriting. First, as I said, I’m doing it super slow. Second, that pen/nib has much more “friction” on the paper than a regular pen. I find it much easier to make a straight line this way.

Doing something like this (not mine, got it off Google) is a whole different story: https://movq.de/v/de01805560/s.png

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club It is a joke.

$ mkdir foo && cd foo

(Yes, a “hello world” is the default code created by cargo init.)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I use ink pots:

The nibs are pretty simple:

A small amount of ink gets trapped in that little “hook” there. (Dunno how to describe it, that’s what I mean: https://movq.de/v/304d99e6cd/2-2.jpg) Depending on the size of the nib, this lasts for about, hmm, maybe half a line? You have to re-dip quite often, which can be a bit annoying. Then again, it’s not a big issue, because the whole process is super slow anyway. When I was writing birthday cards this way, I think it took about 30-45 minutes to write one card with a couple of lines on it.

It’s a matter of practice to make it uniform – and it also depends on the type of ink. “Scabiosa” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_gall_ink) is not very uniform, it’s the purple-ish stuff in the upper half (I probably ran out of ink on “Xerox” and was too lazy to re-dip):

The lower half is some other ink, much more uniform.

Those little ink pots last a really, really long time, by the way. This is the one that I’ve been using the most throughout the years, and there’s still quite a bit left:

I often thought about buying a pen with an integrated cartridge, but I think that it’s better with ink pots. It’s super easy to clean, nothing ever clogs up or dries out. And you can easily switch to another type of ink without much hassle:

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I don’t remember, to be honest. 🤔 I was probably browsing random images on imgur.com and saw someone doing it, so I thought to myself: “Hey, that’s cool, I always liked that, so let’s just buy a pen and some nibs.” 😅 Luckily, that equipment isn’t very expensive … It was just 20 bucks, so why not just give it a shot.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org They are very similar, yes, but I’ve also been sloppy. 😅 “u” should be connected at the bottom, “n” at the top. Here’s a better example from 2018:

https://movq.de/v/82bcbb7b92/eugen.jpg

I also like that capital “E” much better, hmm.

@bender@twtxt.net @eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Thx!

Nice, which style were you doing, bender?

Picking up calligraphy as a hobby again – after a long break. The result isn’t great, but better than I expected. Maybe this is a bit like riding a bike, you don’t unlearn it. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org “Voi vittu” indeed. 😂

@eaplmx@twtxt.net You gotta be kidding, this has got to be the outside temperature, right?! 🤪

@eaplmx@twtxt.net Yep, it means “the air is too dry” and/or “it’s too cold”. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Then we’ll add a pass --force show or something. 🥴

Yeah, little buddy, I’m not happy, either.

Image

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Aww. 😅

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I suspect that people might argue: “If we change the default behavior, then a ton of tools will have to be updated as well, so we can’t do that.” One way to alleviate this issue could be: Have pass show refuse to print clear text passwords if stdout is a terminal. 🤔

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Hmm, I see what you mean. 🤔

From a “UNIX” point of view, the current behavior feels correct. By default, print to stdout. If you want something else, then you have to specify a flag. That’s what a lot of UNIX tools do.

Now, it’s up for debate if this kind of behavior is appropriate for a password manager. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Not anymore – luckily, because I have to drive to the office today. 😅

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci

One major gripe I have with pass is that it is way, way, way too easy to end up with your passwords displayed on the screen in cleartext.

Huh, that never happened to me. 🤔 Not accidentally, I mean. I do use a frontend, though: https://uninformativ.de/git/padme (Just a slight tweak of the default passmenu.)

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no For traffic flow, it doesn’t matter which sides initiates the connection. The only thing that matters here: Do you have a static IP at home? If not, then you will want to initiate the connection from your home to your server.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no NOPE! Still work tomorrow. 😂 (Network maintenance in one of our offices.)
