Current state: I‘d like to have a descent desktop operating system like Fedora…
I really hope the gnome 3.26-port is soon finished #freebsd
The problem with the iOS-apps for todo.txt and task paper is that they all kind of suck. No SimpleTasks for iOS :(
My biggest problem with the BulletJournal so far: I can’t carry the book and/or a pen around with me. It seems I’ll move back to my phone again. And I know me: I’ll try first a plain-text method and a month later I am back at Todoist.
I am close to shutting down my blog. In Germany you are more or less forced to publish your mail-address, phone-number and address (you can even find my phone number). Yeah for lots of data privacy rules…as long as you aren’t using your own stuff. But isn’t it too late anyways?
I read once again a book about living in North Korea and I can only recommend it: Ishikawa, Masaji: A River in the Darkness. One Man’s Escape from North Korea
It is about a Japanese citizen who had to move to NK as a child and lived there for 36 years (1960-96) until he fled.
Great read: „Why Paper Jams Persist“ https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/02/12/why-paper-jams-persist
Things I don’t understand: people doing big talks about the merits and importance of open source software while sitting in front of macOS.
Probably unpopular opinion: people who say that the homo economicus doesn’t work, do not understand the homo economicus
Btw I thought the same and didn’t understand it for a long time as well and I studied economics
Someone probably waited a long time to write this headline: “smart sex toy fails penetration test” https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/02/02/adult_fun_toy_security_fail/
Optimized ads in podcasts are at max 20 seconds long imho. Then it is usually more pain to skip them than just to listen to them…
If you need a pdf viewer on your open source-OS (I tested it on Linux and FreeBSD), you should try PDF studio viewer. Very fast and can do stuff like removing layers from the PDF https://www.qoppa.com/pdfstudioviewer/
I just learned about the Match-statement for the sshd_config. That is awesome. Thanks @mwlauthor and SSH Mastery
A Declaration of the Independence of the Cyberspace
John Perry Barlow (1947–2018):
Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather.We have no elected government, nor are we likely to have one, so I address you with no greater authority than that with which liberty itself always speaks. I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us. You have no moral right to rule us nor do you possess any methods of enforcement we have true reason to fear.
RIP John Perry Barlow :( https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/02/john-perry-barlow-internet-pioneer-1947-2018
Tutorials either assume you have no knowledge at all on the CLI or you have sufficient knowledge and explain too much. But you don’t need to know iptables in the beginning. Just how to drop all the traffic without shutting yourself out, open up new ports and make it persistent.
