I run X actually, there is an Emacs package called EXWM that let's you treat any application window as an Emacs buffer. I need X for applications like Firefox, mpv, Wine, Inkscape, LibreOffice, QEMU, mupdf and RetroArch, and I need fon

i3 or Sway are good alternatives to EXWM, but they are not as customizable. For example I like switching between buffers using autocomplete or cycle between the ones that has the same major mode. I like to toggle certain buffers like Firefo

I update once a day manually. I build a few packages, but I rely on linux-tkg for the kernel and pull the rest from AUR using git. The Arch Linux package maintainers are very reliable, rolling release is just better when testing is reliable

Meanwhile I use Linux + Emacs as a window manager because I don't like distraction. On Windows you are always an update away from unwanted software, news, the weather, advertisements popping up or Windows not letting you turning on or

A great software is one that does what it needs to do without surprises. Nobody like surprises. Like what makes a light switch great? I should be able to toggle the light safely and reliably. Unlike a light switch a software does not live i

The whitepaper has no details about an authenticated key exchange like Signal does with X3DH, it just assumes that it already happened, but then the rest of their protocol does not offer any post-compromise security.

Sketchy is the tech industry's middle name. Politicians don't really get technology, so our technology landscape keeps resembling the Old West, with immoral monetization and cryptocurrencies instead of outlaws and gold rushes. I f

Put an X in front of it (XChaCha20-Poly1305) to be able to use a 192-bit nonce and baby, you got a stew going. https://libsodium.gitbook.io/doc/advanced/stream_ciphers/xch...

I don't hate you Dan, but South Park was right, this stuff belongs to a mental institution. You really need to spend less time on the computer. You are in a dire need for some integrity. https://everestpipkin.medium.com&#x2F

Client-side search is secure if the client downloads all the metadata, and then nothing else based on the result. The access pattern is simply which and how many encrypted chunks are selected. If they are selected based on a search result t

According to their whitepaper the encryption keys stay on the device and can be only recovered with a seed phrase which Slik has no access to, allegedly. There is no source code to verify the details, but they use AES-GCM. That either requi

There is education value here, but otherwise say no to rolling your own crypto kids, especially RSA which was conceived 50 years ago and although it can be implemented securely it is hard to use it securely. It can also be hard to prove tha

It would not bother me in someone else's house, I would just treat it as public space as always, but I would not ever have cameras installed in mine. The possibility of being watched would affect me negatively. I'm not paranoid, j

It's true until you compare it to every other method of producing electricity. You can't do it without harming the environment. Unfortunately nuclear power plants don't scale yet, nuclear fuel is non-renewable. My only questi

This would not solve the microplastic pollution problem, which continues to be a health hazard. It's not likely that most of the biosphere can adapt. We certainly can't.

I'm writing an offline-first database and it typically uses a server for storage and coordination. The difference is that I don't think the server should be able to see what it stores and coordinates, for which searchable encrypti

A superb article. Integrity design is essential and woefully unpracticed by the entire tech industry. It's all about the engagement sadly. https://integrityinstitute.org There is a lot to be done. A whole lot.

So far no one really could use cryptocurrencies as currencies because of this, they remain an asset class, in truth a Ponzi scheme. Circumventing governments, banks and payment processors seems alluring until you realize that there is a rea

Macaques are very intelligent animals, more importantly they are successful because of their Machiavellian tendencies, just like we are. Unfortunately while this behavior is useful at conquering the world, it becomes counterproductive later

Using an 4096-bit RSA key pair is pointless, either use the 2048-bit one for maximum compatibility or use ED25519, which is now supported almost everywhere.

The great thing about us is that we are predictably irrational. Our quirk or pattern is that we use shortcuts (biases, heuristics, habits) most of the time, not because we are stupid, lazy or insane, but because they work or used to work mo

The industrial revolution ended up destroying most of our biosphere. It started an extinction event, a rapid and irreversible climate change making our planet hostile to life. Other than that it went swimmingly.

You can't generalize UI elements from different platforms with a distinct look and feel and have a widget that does it all. Plenty of other opportunities to reuse code, this is not one of them.

The previous generation could use 250W at certain all core workloads, Intel just never marketed the difference between PL1 and PL2 for TDP. Most chips can only use that much power for a short time due to thermal limitation, so you need both

Same experience here with 15 years of Arch usage, a few major issues before systemd, none since, except having to migrate the boot loader, network manager and so on to systemd and from time to time having to use a workaround from the latest
