This is precisely why I don't use BW CLI. Use pass or gopass for all your CLI tokens and sync them via a private git repo.

Keep the password manager as a separate desktop app and turn off auto update.

What you watched was some sort of propaganda. There was no such thing in 1989's Romania. The country was too poor for such advanced systems.

Source: someone who lived through that.

Those who don't understand git are bound to reinvent it. Git is fine as it is, with some porcelain and QoL improvements here and there. Some of the most capable devs I know use git + cgit for collaboration and they manage just fine.

I would recommend Obsidian to new users.

I've been using Zim Wiki for years; back then there was nothing better available and now I can't be bothered to migrate formats. Plus I've already contributed a bunch of plugins to Zim :)

I come from a time when internet connectivity was not permanent. It was only available a few times per day when you connected via the phone line. My first ISP gave me an allowance of 20 hours of internet per month. You would dial-up, check the news, check your email, read a page or two, download what you had to download, and then disconnect. The internet was very slow by today's standards, and the connection would get lost very often. It was during that time when it was drilled into my head that the network access comes and goes. That it should not be taken for granted. So a lot of the stuff that I use nowadays, I also have in an offline format. I keep offline docs either in pdf or in html format of most of the programming languages and frameworks that I use. I keep the source code of various projects that are essential to me. I keep a local wiki with notes on various things that are useful to me. Obviously it's not enough for a major catastrophe but it's better than nothing. I'm by no means a prepper, but I also believe that each of us should be prepared for short term disruptions of various kinds. The network should not be taken for granted.

The postcode doesn't tell the whole story. But what you can do is use an IP geolocation service which should narrow down your location enough, so that typing in the entire address is no longer necessary.

I.e. using something like https://ipinfo.io/json and then typing in a full postcode and street name + number should work well in most cases.

Hi Nick, first of all thank you for your work and dedication through the years.

Second, I found this entirely by accident just now: https://www.sovereign.tech/programs/fellowship

For the duration of the fellowship, one “maintainer-in-residence” will be employed up to full-time (32-40 hours per week) as part of the Sovereign Tech Agency team. This option offers the maintainer the personal and professional advantages of being part of team, as well as the stability of being employed to continue working on critical FOSS infrastructure. This position is only available for maintainers located in Germany,

It's a simple observation. I'm not here to win internet points. I've never before seen so much cargo-culting and mystic belief among engineers.

Amazing how an entire profession that until yesterday would pride itself on precision, clarity (in thought and in writing), efficiency, and formality, has now descended into complete quackery.

A comment on libxml, not on your work: Funny how so many companies use this library in production and not one steps in to maintain this project and patch the issues. What a sad state of affairs we are in.

Have you tried Micro? https://micro-editor.github.io/

Here's the repo https://github.com/nahorov/Hendrix-Systems-Lab

The linked article (with the original incident) was really good:

What's the deal with `Devboxes`? is this a common thing? Sounds very clunky for regular (human-driven) development.

The collective AI hysteria is now in full swing.

The models we have in mind for attestation are very much based on users having full control of their keys.

FOR NOW. Policies and laws always change. Corporations and governments somehow always find ways to work against their people, in ways which are not immediately obvious to the masses. Once they have a taste of this there's no going back.

Please have a hard and honest think on whether you should actually build this thing. Because once you do, the genie is out and there's no going back.

This WILL be used to infringe on individual freedoms.

The only question is WHEN? And your answer to that appears to be 'Not for the time being'.

Sure, but do you have any facts to backup that assertion?

Am I the only one who's not buying into the Wayland hype? I just want X11 support not to fall into disrepair, as I see nothing wrong with it.

I'm so surprised to see that folks rediscover Unison in 2026 :) It is a unique piece of software which has been around for 20 years or so. The two way sync is great but also a bit scary since it can wipe files.

BTW, Rclone has bisync now.

I don't want Linux to become as popular as Windows currently is. Its quality would decline drastically as it would be subjected to all sorts of corporate forces.

I don't want it to become a commercially driven, adversarial OS like Windows and Mac OS.

I want it to remain the free, stable and decent OS it currently is, in a comfortable 3rd place.

Yap I can confirm, Dell's P (professional) and U (ultra) lines are excellent and work flawlessly. The S (standard?) line not so much.

Programming is essentially automation. You tell the machine what to do character by character, and if you get it right, the machine will be able to correctly interpret your intention, transform it into a lower level code, and then execute it.

AI is also automation but the instructions are given in a higher level language. You still have to know how to automate it. You need to instruct the machine in sufficient detail, and if done correctly the machine will once again be able to interpret your intention, transform it to a lower level code, and execute it for you.

Two separate WG profiles on the phone; one acting as a Proxy (which forwards everything), and one acting just as a regular VPN without forwarding.

You can actually get a prepaid travel eSIM before you leave on holiday.

You absolutely can. But it does need an internet connection for that. Which actually makes eSIM more secure than regular SIM.

POP3 is outdated and should've been withdrawn years ago. IMAP provides everything POP does and more.

Thank you! This was my issue as well.

Site seems to be down?

Systemd hardening is great, but each service needs its own bespoke config and that takes a bit of time and trial & error. Here's the override I've been using for Jellyfin: https://gist.github.com/radupotop/61d59052ff0a81cc5a32c92b3b...

I would love if they implemented a feature to prune media files larger than ~10MiB from the existing backup file. This way the file size would not grow to astronomical proportions so quickly.
