I have setup a rustdesk server with docker, it was surprisingly easy to get started. It was for a friend who is managing the IT services of a small factory, the completely switched from TeamViewer and they are satisfied. More importantly their users, who are worse than your average windows user, found the transition relatively painless.
I have been using for the past month. I am not a power user, I mostly use it when I need to access libgen. Previously, I was using nordvpn. I feel proton is faster both when connecting to a server but also the connection is faster/more reliable. For example, if I forget to turn it off, I can watch a yt video without any issues.
While the consumption for AI train can be large, there are arguments to be made for its net effect in the long run.
The article’s last section gives a few examples that are interesting to me from an environmental perspective. Using smaller problem-specific models can have a large effect in reducing AI emissions, since their relation to model size is not linear. AI assistance can indeed increase worker productivity, which does not necessarily decrease emissions but we have to keep in mind that our bodies are pretty inefficient meat bags. Last but not least, AI literacy can lead to better legislation and regulation.
Pretty interesting study!! They found that introverts that used texting to express themselves demonstrated higher levels of self-confidence than those that used texting to escape. However, for extroverts it was the opposite, those that used texting to escape demonstrated higher levels of self-confidence.
As an AuDHD person, aka someone that has made a skipping rope out of the extrovert/introvert line, I have observed that on good days my extroverted side is on outreach mode while my introverted side is on deep connection mode.
Gitea and forejo are doing some amazing work
It depends on the field you are studying. I was into CS, using Linux was recommended because the machines they used to test our code were also running linux.
Most fields are going to be okay with linux, the only exception being fields that rely on specialized software like architects, engineers, and audio/video editing. Also, some software like MatLab are possible to run on Linux but it’s a pain to set them up.
Here is a list of note-taking apps:

By the way, I am building my own Journaling system, it’s still early stages and I am looking for ideas!
Me neither buddy, me neither…
Falsehoods About Time: … Time always moves forwards.
I had to learn this the hard way… I was working at a platform that pulled measurements from sensors. The sensors did not declare the timezone for the timestamps of the measurement and the platform broke down twice after daylight saving. The first time there were duplicated records which caused conflicts and the second one we weren’t handling impossible timestamps.
Typing in python leaves a lot to be desired… Being looking at peps for quite some time, but it’s really hard for the language to make progress without breaking compatibility.
Hopefully at some point MOJO becomes mature enough to use in a professional setting.
I am not using Jenkins anymore but this seems like a lifesaver, thanks for sharing
Unless you are using groovy (jenkins), then you are running the pipeline to find syntax errors.
neither, I am autistic, it’s not a choice, it’s a need.
You spelled Fin Tech Bros wrong
If you use a recent release of Fedora (last 2-3 years). Try disabling WiFi and/or Bluetooth before suspending. There is an issue with some hardware, especially adapters. It doesn’t happen everytime, and it’s hard to accurately reproduce. Also, the symptoms can vary from black screen to sudo being stuck.
It’s a wild guess, but try to disable Bluetooth or WiFi before suspending.
It’s doesn’t happen with all hardware, but it is a knowing issue.
A good place to start is the owasp cheat sheet. They provide up-to-date, high value information about software security, I wish there was a resource like this when I started learning about security.
Even though, I have a decent background in software security, it’s hard to decide on an encryption schema that’s both safe and easy to use. My goal is to increase the number of components an attacker has to compromise in order to get access to the data.
Great resource!
Write database migrations in both directions so people can downgrade on failures.
Good point. Personally, I take backups before upgrades and restore if anything goes wrong. But, I understand how downgrading sometimes is just easier.
I have trouble coming up with a migration procedure that makes sense to me. I have the following in mind:
Make it possible to configure your system via ENV variables, ENV files and config files.
I am bit worried about this one, environment variables can be a security concern. Specifically, I am not sure if I should allow providing secrets (like db connection strings) through environment variables. I am inclined to let people do what they want to, but issue a warning.
Make it possible to disable authentication to add Authelia or LDAP through the webserver. Make clear that this is only to be used for external authentication.
I am considering adding support for oauth through keycloak. My assumption is that if you are going to host your own LDAP, you can probably configure keycloak too. Do you think that makes sense?
Make it possible to run multiple parallel instances of your software without affecting the database consistency, e.g. for high availability or horizontal scaling.
Ideally, an instance shouldn’t be big enough to need it. I know, famous last words, but in my case I think it’s a bad problem to have. I am going out of scope, but I am wondering where is the line between discouraging large scale deployments and designing something pre-destined to obscurity.
Telemetry
Not even on my radar, thanks for bringing it into my attention 🙏
Great point, I always consider dependencies from a security perspective, but for management/setup sometimes I am like “the devops are going to figure it out”…
To clarify, would an example be supporting sqlite, so people won’t have to deploy postgres unless they need to?
My plan is to offer a docker-compose configuration people can tinker with. I had the mindset that whatever happens in the container stays in the container, but your comment made me realize I should be mindful of other installation methods. Thanks 🙏
Hi, I am a building a platform with the goal of supporting apps like this, and I would be interested to develop a plugin for your use-case as an experiment (no fee).
I am working alone on this and this is not my first priority, so I cannot make any guarantees about the timeline, or the scope of the plugin. But, if you are interested we can have a chat on matrix.
The project is not open source yet, but I am planning on doing so once (a) I figure out how to properly apply licensing, and (b) remove any potentially critical information (credentials) from the repository.
