Lullabies that are pretty grim seem to be a thing in a lot of cultures. I read an article from the university of Oslo about that recently.

The book is called Struwwelpeter and it is from 1844. The stories are intended for children and are all cautionary tales about how bad behaviour can have disastrous consequences. I loved them as a child and I probably could recite the whole book from memory. There is an English translation available at Project Gutenberg.

This still fundamentally suffers from the oracle problem like all blockchains solutions. You can always attack these blockchain solutions at the point where they need to interact with the real world. In this case the camera is the “oracle” and nothing prevents someone from attacking the proposed camera and leveraging it to certify some modified footage. The blockchain doesn’t add anything a public database and digitally signed footage wouldn’t also achieve.

Session is a Signal fork and they removed forward secrecy which makes them vulnerable to Key Compromise Impersonation attacks.

True, the raised head could indicate that. Hard to tell from a picture alone.

Elongated nostrils, white showing in the eyes and ears close to the neck. That is a very angry horse.

There is this steadily growing activist group that you could join up with.

We use OpenProject at my job and its pretty good. You can use Nextcloud as a document repository and integrate it with OpenProject.

Unfortunately some things are just built to break within a relatively short time. Manufacturers like to claim that planned obsolescence doesn’t exist but it absolutely does.

If something is already broken there is no excuse to not give it at least a try. There are a lot of instructions on the internet for fixing common problems.

I use and like posteo but their refusal to allow custom domain names, for in my opinion dubious reasons, should not go unmentioned.

Its hard to give you something concrete. The topics you gave as examples are vast. For my own purposes I add feeds to my rss reader based on what I come across by reading other articles in my reader.

Maybe checkout some communities about the topics you are interested. Lemmy has for example a large and enthusiastic Linux community. Brodie Robertson also covers a lot of different Linux topics. You can also take a look at recordings of developer conferences. The people that give talks often write a blog as well.

HN is hosted by ycombinator, a VC, and represents only a tiny fraction of the IT industry. Its mainly the silicon valley startup side of things. So you can expect a motley crew of ai and crypto bros, musk fanboys and JavaScript prophets.

The articles and especially the comments there might lead you to belief that in software development there isn’t anything outside of Cloud-native Web Applications. For example, two of the most popular programming languages that are currently used are Java and C#. Yet you wont find much discussion about them on HN because it is presumably unfashionable to use these languages in a startup.

This extends to most topics from operating systems to open source programs. Largely hype based discussion around new and shiny things.

There is also a very strong libertarian bias on HN. Look at the comments of any article that relates to a EU regulation like the DMA, CRA or GDPR and you will see what I mean. Its mostly libertarian pearl clutching and not much actual discussion.

I just use Nextcloud News since I am already using Nextcloud. It works well and installs in just a few clicks.

For feeds I can only recommend to get rid of HN, its gives you a skewed perspective and is a huge waste of time. The only thing its good for is begging for support when Google deactivates your account.

I really tried to like silverbullet but the VI mode is too bare bones for me. The worst thing about it is that Ctrl+W closes the browser tab instead of deleting one word left of the cursor and there is no way around that. I think I closed the silverbullet tab 20 times while typing a single note.

I found some apartments in that building advertised on some random website for immigrants and those don’t look half bad.

My new job wont allow me to install applications, so I was looking for a hosted Obsidian alternative. This looks very promising. Thanks!

You know, that would be a worthwhile discussion to have; but that hinges on the mods not banning and removing the comments of anyone with a critical perspective. As of now, this is not possible on lemmy.ml.

No they are tankies. I got banned from the comics sub for criticizing a comic that gave a, to put it nicely, very one sided perspective on communism.
