In-reply-to » @doesnm Threema is also known to be crippled to state actors and the five eyes. It has known crypto protocol weaknesses that can leak metadata.

@Prologic@twtxt.net Threema states the findings of that security research are all plugged. Still reading on it. Truth is that my family is difficult to get away from WhatsApp. And yes, I plan to buy them a license key.

I fell asleep again during snoozing, and started dreaming intensely. My own mind woke me up in time by setting everything I loved on fire within my dream. That jolted me awake alright.

Predicting what is to be expected in about four years in the USA : there is no way in Hell where Trump will allow any form of return to the way it use to be before he took hold of the country. He will let other people die to make sure his regime will stay on for as long as at least he lives.

In-reply-to » @johanbove But which one(s)? 🤔🤔 Serious question; my neighbor next door swears by the BBC and ABC (I'm Australian); but honestly even those news sources are full of political rhetoric and non-facts (opinions, etc) -- I have yet to see a single news source of actual facts and nothing more.

@prologic@twtxt.net Since I live in Germany, I do believe the media here is generally reputable. It really depends where you live of course. Source I look at are Reuters, NPR, The Guardian, Die Zeit, NY Times, CNN, Tagesschau, Spiegel Online, RP Online (for local news), … I would never just trust what I see in my social media feeds.

Your favourite social media platform should not be where you get your facts from. You get jokes and share with your friends, but facts they ain’t. Get your world news from actual news sources instead.

In a rush in getting all my private data off from US - based company servers - the way it is looking, it might be that it would be good for us Rest Of The Worlders, to bring in our sheep and keep them close by.

My 400th Twtxt Post will be about you: wishing you, reader of my Twtxt feed, all the best for the coming year and most of all love, health, and that your projects and work may contribute to the greater good of all mankind. I will be taking a social-media break for a couple of weeks to enjoy this special time with my family. I hope you will be able to do this with your family and friends too.

The web server in Calibre is pretty cool. Love how the UI was designed and made. Feels intuitive, yet powerful. Now i do need to organise the book collection a bit better.

Did I write here already that the reason why I love Twtxt so much is that it works without having to compile, install anything extra. Just the bin applications that come with 95% of all operating systems and you’re good to read and participate, giving you have a domain name somewhere to host the twtxt.txt file.

Organised my decades old ebook collection and cleaned up all the duplicates. The Czkawka application helped a lot with getting that done. Also - finally - using Calibre as our home digital library.

Always a great feeling when you can solve npm install problems by simply copying over the whole node_modules folder from your own (linux) machine. One of the benefits of developing on a Linux machine I suppose.

Wanted to share that we’re so proud of our six year old son; after taking skating lessons himself, he taught me and my wife how to stop on skates today. He was so proud about that he could teach us something good. Enjoyed also playing table tennis with him in the park, even-though it got windy, we had fun and didn’t give up trying to have a decent game. And at the guided tour at the old hot-metal plant in Duisburg yesterday, he asked the best questions and could be the guide’s assistant - holding the flashlight.

After testing Vivaldi for a couple of weeks I am convinced this is a great browser and to support the team behind it, I decided to start sending them a couple of Euro monthly, just to keep the momentum going.

If all Orange Face Elefant party voters would take them on their words and make them actually do whatever insane world they invented, then perhaps people will realize the grave mistake that was made today. Many people have to feel consequences before they believe it. I hope there will still be history books in the future to disclose the insanity for future generations. But whatever happens, the World will keep spinning…

In-reply-to » Wouldn't you rather have work and private seperated? Any thought behind this decission? I like tags, like Gmail does it. I still think mail needs a big rethink. It's too prominent in life, to be this archaic.

@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl I have separate mail boxes for private and work, but flattened both to have a simpler structure. For work, where we use Outlook, I am using categories for organising the mails and privately I am using Vivaldi’s labels system. The main idea is to use search and grouping through dynamic saved searches instead of static folders.

So I’ve flattened my work and private email inboxes to single inbox folders and I don’t even know anymore what I was thinking before trying frantically to organise everything in sub folders. Labels and search filters are the way forward.

Moved my email back into a single ‘inbox’ folder instead of trying to keep everything organised in sub-folders. Using Vivaldi’s labels instead for organising the messages. Makes sense because I sometimes had trouble if a message needed to be in multiple boxes.

My favourite part of Halloween is helping to set up the charity halloween party at a local school. Love decorating the haunted hallway and setting up the lights. Feels great to get those smiles on people’s faces.

So dissatisfied and disappointed with the Fairphone 4’s audio issues where during phone calls, the receiver only gets half of the messages due to noise cancellation problems, that we’re considering iPhone as a valid “it just works” replacement. Especially since the iPhone15 now also has the USB Type C port.

Saw an airship fly over Düsseldorf and for a second I felt like being in an alternative dimension where these were more common. Really like them as they glide through the sky.

Asked an “AI Assistant” (Perplexity) to summarize my introduction of my homepage and then I asked it to give me some book recommendations I might like, and the thing actually nailed it.
