I think ssh on a non-standard port is a no-brainer, have been doing this for years. But at some point I got too many log entries of failed ssh access attempts. So I looked into fail2ban, but found the system too involved, and I don't l

You don't have to run WebAuth on a VPS, you can use it on your PC/Mac or even on your phone..!

Just use typst, way easier to install (single binary) and use (much easier to write directives): https://typst.app I use the commandline binary, you could use the website as well.

Looking at bifurcation theory, it seems the 10 year cycle length cannot be the norm for these oscillations.

"I want the 10 year support battle tested code, but without giving you any money" The idea of Free Software is that users have a right to the sources and have the right to distribute the software (and the source code). Red Hat is

It really doesn't take long to "take out" all your Google content and continue life elsewhere -- highly recommended for future-proofing.

NEVER read "a couple hours" anywhere, and definitely never heard it.

billion = million x million [bi] trillion = million x million x million [tri] This is still the case in Dutch for instance, where 1e9 is a "miljard".

About relying on the developer to provide the relay server (this was early 2022): The cost of croc is mostly bandwidth - over 8 terabytes of data is sent every month through croc! That's amazing to me since I started this project just

I think Wormhole William is great, also has a mobile app. But when I discovered croc, I switched to that, it has been very reliable. From the developer: AFAIK, croc is the only CLI file-transfer tool does all of the following: - allows any

I just do not knowingly use anything that has to be installed with npm.

Sigh... I "parked" my free bitcoin in the wrong place. Didn't know yet about just holding on to the private key and let it sit on the chain.

Immutable decentralized public ledgers could have many usages, but the biggest problem is: who is authorized to add new entries? There are different answers to this question depending on use case, but it is really the crux of the matter.

Interesting, after many years, I've gotten none. (I've also never given out my email address...)

For signup it seems a non-disposable recovery email or a phone number is required. After signup you can remove those (and add other ways to recover if you wish).

Mine has been in the free tier forever, never use it, and it is still fine.

I think nano is modern itself, still actively being developed, and for the past few years more or less feature complete. But if nano wasn't there, I would probably be using micro.

Those are default bindings in nano I think. (I've been using my custom bindings for years...)

As someone who's hiked barefoot with pack for weeks on mountain trails in Nepal, I've come to the conclusion that "ankle support" is not what is promises. I have rolled my ankle often enough when I was younger, but never

Another gem I never knew about: "clicking on a street gives me a popup with the name". You have to really click precisely, but that worked..!

For years now I have dragged the man to the place, because there was no indication to me that just clicking the man and then the place would work. But it does! Thanks for sharing that.
