Bitwarden Unified
Bitwarden (my favorite and recommended password manager) is offering a “new deployment option”. This new option combines all microservices into a single Docker container and doesn’t require 11 different containers anymore. And it supports PostgreSQL and MariaDB in addition to MS SQL. ⌘ Read more

Snikket: Notes on the F-Droid security warning
Snikket Android users who installed the app via F-Droid may receive a warning
from F-Droid telling them that the app has a vulnerability and that they
“recommend uninstalling immediately”. First of all - don’t panic! This is a
over-simplified generic warning that is scary, but the actual situation is
not quite so scary and has an explanation. Here goes…

How F-Droid works

When an app is developed and ready for release, it must be compiled and built,
to produce the fina … ⌘ Read more

“Bloggers, Dump Your Twitter Card Tags”
It’s crazy to think how much bandwidth is being used by metadata tags. Every company wants to invent it’s own new system. Wouter Groeneveld gives a brief overview and recommends getting rid of them (for the most part). I agree with him completely. The only one of these systems that my blog supports is Microformats, which is quite popular among the IndieWeb community. ⌘ Read more

I’m quite curious about this “Ghosts from the Library”. Medawar edits the collection “Bodies from the Library” (which I recommend) and this idea of going through old newspapers to recover serialised stories or finding never published before ones is quite appealing.

**I don’t need to wait for the end of the year to know that Powerplant’s Stump Soup is one of the best albums 2022 has to offer.

Released by @staticshockrecs on tape, this album is surprising, refreshing and innovative.

Recommended specially to fans of DVAR.**

meet lol, my new website generator!

meet lol, my new website generator!

2022-08-08

I’ve been pretty busy lately, so I haven’t had a lot of time to explore
computers, which is what I love doing. In the last few months, I’ve been trying
to fight back against busyness by writing a new website generator after everyone
goes to bed. I can’t recommend doing this, because it gets exhausting after a
while, but it gives me my kicks and makes me happy.

The Circle
Some years ago, I started reading the novel “The Circle” by Dave Eggers. I never finished reading it, but today I watched the movie. It has an important message about privacy, transparency and surveillance and shows that there’s a thin line in-between those. I can definitely recommend watching it, although I sometimes wasn’t impressed by the acting. ⌘ Read more

I’m trying to switch from Konversation to irssi. Let’s see how that goes. Any irssiers out there who can recommend specific settings or scripts? I already got myself trackbar.pl and nickcolor.pl as super-essentials. Also trying window_switcher.pl. Somehow my custom binds for Ctrl+1/2/3/etc. to switch to window 1/2/3/etc. doesn’t do anything: { key = "^1"; id = "change_window"; data = "1"; } (I cannot use the default with Alt as this is handled by my window manager). Currently, I’m just cycling with Ctrl+N/P. Other things to solve in the near future:

  • better, more colorful and compact theme (just removed clock from statusbar so far)
  • getting bell/urgency hints working on arriving messages
  • nicer tabs in status bar, maybe even just channel names and no indexes
  • decluster status bar with user and channel modes (I never cared about those in the last decade)

Vulnerability Alert: Avoiding “Dirty Pipe” CVE-2022-0847 on Docker Engine and Docker Desktop
You might have heard about a new Linux vulnerability that was released last week, CVE-2022-0847, aka “Dirty Pipe”. This vulnerability overwrites supposedly read-only files in the Linux kernel host, which could enable attackers to modify files inside the host images from the container instance. If you use Docker Engine natively, we recommend you should update … ⌘ Read more

I would HIGHLY recommend reading up on the keybase architecture. They designed device key system for real time chat that is e2e secure. https://book.keybase.io/security

A property of ec keys is deriving new keys that can be determined to be “on curve.” bitcoin has some BIPs that derive single use keys for every transaction connected to a wallet. And be derived as either public or private chains. https://qvault.io/security/bip-32-watch-only-wallets/

It’s time again to ask my followers: I have my homepage jlelse.dev, but I’m thinking about using jlelse.com for a more professional and appealing website about me. I can program, but my design skills are somewhat limited. What should I use to design and create the site? I used Carrd a couple of years ago. But are there any other recommendations? ⌘ Read more

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Manpage says

The user is supposed to run it manually or via a periodic system
service. The recommended period is a month but could be less.

So me doing it weekly is a bit over cautious. It’s often overseen by users that they are supposed to perform this task regularly.

Learn Latin

Image

Latin was the first language I learned and has probably been the most useful. Here I’ll talk about some of the things it’s gotten me and some recommendations for how to learn it well.

What I’ve gotten out of learning Latin You get multiple languages for one.

Latin, as you probably know is the ancestor of Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, etc. Once you know Latin, it is quite literally downhill learning any of these. In college … ⌘ Read more

PeerTube v3 is now live with Live Streaming abilities
PeerTube has recently released version 3.0.0, which has added many things, including the ability to livestream. I’ve already updated by PeerTube instance to version 3 (it is linked from this RSS entry), but the link is just videos.lukesmith.xyz .

I’m not sure if I’ll end up immediately using the livestream ability, but it is certainly nice to have a non-YouTube option which is, in fact, self-hosted.

Aside from that, I strong recommend you … ⌘ Read more
