xz most likely wasn't the only library that was targeted, there could be other similar projects as well which we haven't discovered yet. From the timeline you can see the social engineering part was quite big part.

Just thinking out loud, would it possible to go over with LLM and analyse existing OSS mailing lists and issues to classify such sentiment from the users?

I am using a similar structure a single text file usually split by each day, which also gives a good start to writing my standup notes.

I tried to avoid bringing in some strange formatting rules etc, quite free form. With a single file, it's effortless to go back and find out maybe why something was done in that way or why it wasn't done at all.

Looks kind of like a work diary to me, I have seen people trying to do a similar thing by bringing too much structure/org modes etc and making it so complicated that they forgot at first why they are doing it.

KISS

For me it seems that Google search basically has leverage to either make more money or show more useful results to their customers and they have chosen the first option to make more money.

I agree with the article points definitely, also quite surprised that this issue hasn't raised by google itself or the money outweighs the product usefulness in this area? Non english searches are even worse, usually some huge companies create their landing pages which get higher SEO/paid keyword scores then the actual useful pages.

Doing the reddit trick also for the reviews, but at some point it would also get broken as some marketing people will ruin it by buying reviews etc. Authentic reviews on products/services looks like unsolved problem :) (startup idea).

Looking for a similar solution, I had one Huawei USB 3G stick lying around and used that with RPI 3. Everything worked just fine but after a couple of days it would randomly disconnect and wouldn't restore the connection so currently, I am looking for some 3G/4G router to do the same job.

Keep a Log 5 years ago

I am using also similar append only log like for every day, I usually try to write down the flows/random ideas/doing/done items there. I haven't brought in a structure overhead so everything is in a single file(couple thousand lines long) plain text file. My main idea is to keep everything sectioned by dates # dd-mm-YYYY # which is really great. I use sublime search and grep which works really great to lookup some older context and commands. Also going back to couple years old notes is really easy and valuable why some of the decisions were made.

- KISS

I liked the pre-popup era, then the popups appeared, then browsers/extensions tried to kill these. Now EU created Cookie law which brought again back these awesome popups which you need to confirm on every page in a different way. Seems like popups is the solution to everything to get your attention. :)

For me Apple Watch is missing the key features

- Always on display

- I would like to charge the watch only once a month

Nice to have list:

- GPS tracking possibility

- Mobile notifications

Currently Amazfit Bip fills the checkboxes for all the requirements so I continue using that :)

I have been using a single text (markdown) file for at least five years instead of the todo list I usually write what is done during the day and sometimes add important tasks that need to be done. I try to keep everything fairly plain and avoid overcomplicating the structure. For me this provides an easy way to go over the history, usually try to document more complex devops operations, decisions etc.

I use Sublime to keep the document open there, works really well with larger files.

Each day begins with separating section: # 08.02.2020 # ... # 09.02.2020 #

There's a lot of discussions that Slack should go for a full native application. Yes memory/CPU usage would be much smaller but then again this cross-platform maintenance hell begins. You can look at Skype's example it didn't end well, Linux version was lagging totally behind, also Mac client wasn't up to date and now Skype also released web client :D.

I stopped using FB because the feed was full of promoted posts, which made me really mad. And when your interested in finance/fintech/investment you get some really suspicious(most likely some scam) ads for promoting some X crypto-coins.
