Very similar. A coworker of mine in maybe 2005 or so was a huge fan. I didn’t dislike him, but I did think his music taste sucked. So I thought Coheed and Cambria sucked. Then I saw them live several years later at a festival, and was blown away. I admit I was dead wrong. Listened to every album since and they are incredible composers and performers.

sourcehut hosts it free and makes publishing dead simple. You just push a tarball, and Bob’s your mother’s brother.

Maybe check out WAICT.

Oh yeah. I had just edited to identify that. And if this is the threat for which you’re protecting, this does make sense.

It doesn’t. The code your site provides is downloaded by your client’s browser. It uses a key on their side that is never sent back to your server. Same as if you did it with an extension or application. This is well trodden ground, and used across the internet such that hosts have zero knowledge of their users’ data aside from in its encrypted state.

Actually, let me give a little ground here. There is a subtle but real benefit to an extension or signed application. With just JavaScript, a server could on a new page load deliver an altered code that would introduce a compromise. If that is the threat you want to mitigate for, you’re onto something. If you’re talking high stakes, and you make it clear this is the threat for which you’re protecting users, then I could be convinced.

I mean no offense by this at all, but I wouldn’t because it would indicate a poor understanding of cryptography to me as a user. Either that or being intentionally misleading. In either case, probably unsafe for the user. There does not need to be an extension to encrypt content such that the server never has access to it. It can be encrypted and sent to the host with a key the server never possesses.

Numbers, prior to elections, do in fact lie. We’ve been burnt by this in the past. Maintain focus.

That’s it. I also have a red tip lady.

I have a blue tip ‘57 Superspeed that I pair with Feather blades, but it isn’t even close to my favorite bit of kit. My favorite is the silver-tip badger brush. So nice.

Sort of, but it isn’t in my view very well deserved. There is certainly quite a bit of FUD here in the fediverse, but sometimes it feels manufactured.

The CEO has made, and partially walked back, some statements favoring right wing groups, but it was mostly antitrust stuff, so I think it is mostly rich person doing rich person things.

But they claim to be politically neutral, and they are a Swiss company which already puts it in a tier above anything hosted in many other western countries.

The services themselves are technically very well done, and the applications for using them are also very good. They have a new drive cli which is good. The password manager is great. VPN is good too. The mail bridge they provide is also very good if you want to use third party mail apps but with the benefit of their encryption.

There are other services that compete strongly on each of those and more, but I don’t think any do when considering the full suite.

Fortunately it’s that awe inspiring battery technology where the power can be remotely stored and transmitted over millions of kilometers.

I think Proton is quite good. They lack one feature that I need, which is integrated contacts on mobile, but once they add that, it will be a complete package.

2026 is weird, but the rest of the rawring 20’s are going to be a complete mindfuck.

I used to feel this way and still do to some extent. But he has lost me on the Israel conflict. Certainly on religion itself and philosophy I agree with him a lot. Much like how, conversely, with Mehdi Hassan, I agree a but bit politically, but not on religion.

The only people I can never recall taking issue with are Hitch and Fry, and even they probably have views I don’t like.

I’m really hoping they do the Laconia story now that the requisite years have passed. Or at least enough that the actors will look correct.

Good that you’re holding out hope. Some of us have already lost that lovin’ feeling.

To clarify, I was just saying the bell may already be rung, and I’m no longer of the view that we can definitely right this ship. BUT I am NOT saying we should not try. I’ll keep trying until the bitter end.

To clarify, I’m not saying any demographic is above poor privacy concerns. But there is a subtle difference between laziness / difficulty understanding how to mitigate the threat and the believe that it isn’t a threat but an okay behavior, however subtle that difference is. I don’t want to sound like an old man tilting at windmills and blaming things on the youth. I actually think it is a problem that they are just suffering, not responsible for.

My guess is most are very young. Goes to show our civil liberties worldwide, especially since 9/11, have eroded tremendously. Young people have grown up in a world where privacy is a joke and government spying is a foregone conclusion.
