I’m interested in #Linux, #FOSS, data storage/management systems (#btrfs, #gitAnnex), unfucking our society and a bit of gaming.

I help maintain #Nixpkgs/#NixOS.

  • Until the situation now, this was limited to the server, not the clients. You could replace the server with Vaultwarden and build it without enterprise features. Not ideal but fine because the server isn’t the critical part. It never handles your secrets in any way.

    What they tried to do now was integrate proprietary code into the clients that everyone uses. This is a lot more critical as it can access the secrets in plain text.

    This also wasn’t a “mistake” or “bug”, they openly admitted to doing this with the intention of subverting the client code’s GPL.

    Please stop trying to interpret the SMART data report. Even if you’re knowledgeable it can easily mislead you because this is vendor-specific data that follows no standard and is frequently misinterpreted by even the program displaying the data.

    If the self-test passed, it’s likely the cable or the controller. Try a different cable.






  • The most important features when handwriting IMHO are selection tools and then being able to manipulate the selected strokes.

    Write implements a multitude of selection tools such as lasso which most tools have but much more useful to me were ruled selection which selects based on lines on a ruled paper and path selection which selects every stroke you touch with your selection stroke.

    You can then move the selected strokes in a ruled manner, so for example I’d select a whole line of strokes and move them down a few lines. This is incredibly useful and brings many of the freedoms we enjoy in editing text on a computer to handwriting.

    Re-flowing using stroke divisors is an amazing feature in theory but I’ve never been able to make it work reliably enough for my purposes, so I personally disabled that particular feature.

    The undo/redo dial is also pretty neat.

    Once you actually try to take real notes or solve some mathematical problems, you’ll really come to appreciate such features and will dread using any note taking application supposedly made for handwritten notes that does not implement such features.





  • (nixos more or less requires you understand programming syntax for writing your system config)

    It’s technically not a real programming language but an expression language. The difference is that the former is a series of commands to execute in the specified order to produce arbitrary effects while the latter is a declaration of a set of data. You can think of it like writing a config file i.e. in JSON format.

    The syntax isn’t really the hard part here. You can learn the basics that comprise 99% of Nix code in a few minutes.
    The actually hard part is first figuring out what you even want to do and then second how the NixOS-specific interface for that thing is intended to be used. The former requires general Linux experience and the latter research and problem solving skills.
