And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I guess the best is to block each other since our ideas are not compatible and we are not open to change our mind
Thanks for the conversation tho

I heard a wild idea this week:

Passive-aggressive income
😆

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci that’s the key, go outside your computer science environment, get out of your confort zone

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci try to… It’s not easy, but I know you can

@justamoment@twtxt.net 😆

@justamoment@twtxt.net think like an AI 😅

Hmm, does it appear a choice like listening to an audio or some accessible alternative?

#randomQuestionOfTheDay

What are you reading this week?

I’m open to ideas, but please be gentle and understand other lives and other realities. As I say to my students, colleagues and friends. Every person has a different reality, a perception of it. Some live on a reality distortion field. A.k.a. Biases, but that’s another story.
Be empathetic. And let’s work together for a better world, trying to make something helpful as a group and as individuals.

take it from who it comes. I could be wrong and I’m in a stage of my life defining what is the next step to have a decent lifestyle while I’m feeling proud, or at least not-shaming from my passage though this world.

I live in a “second world/developing country” with the former richest man in the world. We have scarcity, and people here needs to believe on a better life. I think it’s the same everywhere else but here is not a matter of “having vacation this year” but “having housing and food tomorrow”
Perhaps that changes POVs, I don’t know.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I’d disagree. The world is huge. We are 8 billion people, as individuals we can impact 100, perhaps 1,000 people. Even the biggest companies impact billions, but not all humanity. Even countries and global leaders impact a slice of the world. It’s a huge problem for us to solve. It’s nice tring to break limits. In my youth, for that sake I joined into politics, companies, and non-profits. And it’s hard and a bit disappointing that things doesn’t improve in the way we’d expect. Requires a lot of energy to fight the status quo.

And we need to have hope of a better world. We as humans, NEED hope. Thats why religions, organizations, volunteers, exist.
It’s not romantic to say something against hope. It’s better to say “Yeah, let’s follow this politician/businesspeople/influencer/idealism, they have an answer to the problem”, usually is not true.

But on what I’d agree is that we can impact OUR world. We can avoid using the polluting product, the toxic technology or what the evil company mak

A game about navigating a dodecahedron, like on Wumpus.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunt_the_Wumpus

The hunting mechanic in Wumpus is not fun by today’s standards but things like building a farm or exploring a planet 🌏 could be cool.

having investors behind, and need for money, make people lie, and live in that reality distortion field.

It happens for us, in our Hobbyst space, we are biased, I get it. But the bias where your ideas are reinforced by your environment, believing that you are right… And on some sort, being payed to believe that. It’s difficult to overcome.

I’d recommend to read “48 laws of power”. It helped me to understand how those startup environments work, to be prepared against utilitary mindsets.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci hmm… I co-founded a video game studio which for funding and pandemic reasons turned into crypto gaming, since there was “money” in that field. I received a lot of criticism fro colleagues, but some support from friends.
A few friends were making decent money working on crypto games, for huge companies with big investment behind.

But for me… Most of the environment felt like “get rich quick squeme”. Even my partner (biz dev) felt really deep into that way of life. I slowly got away, sad by the risk I’ve taken. Not repentant, just sad of how money makes us think of our promises.

What can I say? Not every buzzword is bad by itself, but my logic brain is against promising more and delivering less (playing with the truth, in my book). Like with electric cars, social networking connecting the world and exploiting Asian workers to have a decent phone at a subsidized price.

I don’t understand how 32% is too dry, or 17 is too cold. Here it is 0% and 7° in my office 😝

Brrr... 🥶

BTW I need one of those with humidity

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci yeah, I just found it this week, and looks very complete as a replacement to BitWarden.
I should run an instance soon. Although I’m deciding if I stay with Warden passflow or I jump to another manager. (Vector is looking cool as well)

Have you used VaultWarden? Any advice?

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci interesting. I’ll take a look. With BitWarden I don’t need to do that, and it cleans the clipboard after a few secs, but I understand you use case. I’m looking for alternatives to BitWarden, but as we’ve discussed, there are many differences to take into consideration.

On watching passwords in plain text I mean typing passwords on some strange devices like TV sets, public or family computers (risky!), Xbox, Switch. I like that now many offer a “Login with another device” that simplifies that process if you already have a session on a mobile.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no just waking up! Deciding not to wash clothes since it’s cold for me.
The usual. Breakfast, classes, clean the house.
And preparing to visit in-laws in the afternoon.

Aaand looking forward to playing Mario Kart 64 with a friend of mine in the evening. 🙂

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci passwordless FTW 😁
Or Single Use Passwords, or authentication with Key Pairs. Not having to manage, see and type characters.

Sadly, everything uses passwords, so… 😐

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I often need to see plaintext password to input them in other devices, but I agree that it should be a second step not the default behaviour.
In many mainstream managers it requires clicking on an eye button 👁️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de ha, love that kind of digital clocks!

What does the face mean? Bad weather?

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci oops, my </s> tag was removed, I forgot to quote it.

I know that upper limit has always been surpassed, so… Maybe? 😄

And on hope, I always remember http://www.thelastquestion.net

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci sad but true. IMO money is not bad by itself, but attracts many wrong behaviors, so… Ends up being bad

I’m so worried by this one: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Time_formatting_and_storage_bugs?useskin=vector#Year_292,277,026,596_problem

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Indeed 👀

We push ourselves harder to get rid of anxiety, but the result is actually more anxiety, because the faster we go, the clearer it becomes that we’ll never succeed in getting everything to move as fast as we feel is necessary.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci it here is dumb money, perhaps there is too much money

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Danke!

@justamoment@twtxt.net 😃👌 nice! Thx!

@sl1200@twt.nfld.uk this looks amazing, I’ll play with it soon

Those using console or Git-synced alternatives. How do you check your passwords on mobile devices?

I tried using KeePass for Android, but I found the sync part a bit inconvenient, related to mainstream alternatives which work automatically.

Also, with pass or gopass I assume you can share the repo with a team, but can you use multiple repos? so you could share only a few secrets with selected people?… Thx!

I’ve head good things from 1Password among friends. Perhaps not having a free tier makes it harder to be known here.

I’m using BitWarden free for everything except TOTP. I’m not syncing pwds with a team anymore, so I don’t need Team featured by now. Having it easyly available from all my devices is a plus.

That said, I’m always interested of alternatives improving my current “pass flow”, thanks everyone for sharing.

@mckinley@twtxt.net I use and like WikiWand, so I haven’t seen the default Wikipedia theme in ages. Does anyone here like the new theme?

#randomQuestionOfTheDay

What password manager do you use? Or, why none?

As bender says, if we can help with those feelings somehow, I’m glad to talk, to wish good energies or whatever helps. And I hope you both eventually feel better :)

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci have you seen https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQRL ?
It’s too indie and I’d say unknown, but the native plug-ins worked well on mobile and Web browsers. And it’s an experience more like you mention.

@darch@neotxt.dk got it!

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci here is an updated implemeation
https://blog.cloudflare.com/opaque-oblivious-passwords/

I played with it a bit, and it works

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci yeah, I agree. It should be flexible and the used should choose the best set of advantages and disadvantages.

@darch@neotxt.dk yes, on twtxt.net.
How do I switch branches on your Pod?

ah, I recall that after writing that text I implemented a proof of concept for passwordless login on Webauthn/passkeys.io which has worked well for me, I haven’t tested with more users so I don’t know how well it’ll be received.
I guess most mainstream browsers will follow that path.

wow, I’m reading it again and it has a lot of spelling errors. Rather than that, I still have those ideas, if anyone here wants to discuss the topic.

I could replicate on iOS 10, only when the Create a new post text field is shown.

On Android 13 it doesn’t scroll horizontally.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci yeah, that would be great for a more secure digital life. Perhaps not easier at the start but easier with time.
Last year I wrote a bit on the subject, trying to put all interests together and aiming for a transition into a passwordless standard… We could start with our services tho

@prologic@twtxt.net https://github.com/cloudflare/gokey perhaps?

hey @justamoment@twtxt.net ! Is vector-pass open sourced or open to collaboration somehow?

I’d like to use it and perhaps replace BitWarden but I’d prefer to have passphrases rather than passwords like ijf7wY6B8ykd7Jid7 since phrases are easier to type

Screenshot of Pass phrase generation in BitWarden

Embedded OTPs and everything depending on a strong secret is a blast, BTW 😀
