That's great to hear! Thanks for all your work on Matrix/Element.

I'd add actually encrypting all events in so-called "end-to-end encrypted rooms" to that list :/ I don't mean to be snarky, it's just frustrating to be told that it's common sense that this wouldn't b

iirc this doesn't work in Firefox? or at least it doesn't work the same way as in Chrome. I developed a tiny home-cooked app[0] that depended on this behavior using desktop Chrome which then broke when I tried to use it on mobile

Which would mean that only people/companies who can afford to weather huge losses (potentially for several consecutive years) are able to enter capital-intensive sectors, providing massive moats to incumbents in those sectors and even

Better yet would be to use spotifyd[0] for this. I tried to set this up with my RPi a while ago but was defeated by Linux audio. Instead I just bought a Sonos. Oh, well. [0]: https://github.com/Spotifyd/spotifyd

Element [0] is the main/most popular client. FluffyChat [1] is also good. They both have web, Android, iOS, and desktop (Electron) apps. There are at least a dozen other clients but those are the only two I've tried so far. For ho

Anyone can run Stable Diffusion on their laptop as long as their GPU has enough VRAM, so the cat's out of the bag on this one.

Third example only works if aJavascriptFunction is sync. If it's async you'd have to do <div onclick="aJavascriptFunction().then(r => setTimeout(anotherJavascriptFunction, 10000)">Do some stuff</div&

Why do you hate Postgres? I think that's the first time I've ever heard someone say that.

Yes, the fact that literally all health care goes through insurance is a big part of the problem. As my dad says, if you had to get all car maintenance done through your car insurance, changing your oil would cost $5,000.

Yeah. A lot of flamewars have happened: "regulation bad!" vs "no, regulation good!". But in reality, good regulation is good, and bad regulation is bad. It sounds silly written out because it's a tautology, but if m

This well-written article, "Torching the Modern-Day Library of Alexandria"[0], might change your mind on that. I found it to be a compelling and tragic story. Edit: actually, I think this would make a good submission. Looks like i

Oops, that's what I get for not reading closely enough! In my defense, my eyes glazed over after the fourth Apple-product-OS version number ;) but yes, my bad on that Looks like it's 500k calls per month per Apple Developer Progra

Looks like this is what they did with DarkSky after they acquired it. It looks awesome. It's a shame it's only available to Apple developers and users Edit: my bad for skimming too fast, I'm glad there's a REST API, that

For Americans (and others?) who are OOTL, rocket == arugula. It has a bunch of other names too, apparently.

I ran into the same issue on Xfinity, why is it broken there? Some nonsense Comcast gets up to?

This is standard at least across Chrome and Firefox on Linux and MacOS— (ctrl|cmd)+R does a normal page refresh, (ctrl|cmd)+shift+R does a "hard refresh" where it reloads every resource on the page without caching. Also, in Chrome

I do interesting stuff in my free time. I make money in my work time. Not quite really—I do enjoy my work and my time at my job, and I would sacrifice some compensation to work at a more interesting/meaningful/fun company. I don&#

I won't link them because I don't want to get flagged for spam, but I really like the bulbs from cloudfree[dot]shop. They come pre-flashed with Tasmota and take <5 minutes to set up, then they can be controlled directly over wi

I got some Aqara buttons and switches from cloudfree.shop, they're closed-source but local network (Zigbee) only—combined with Home Assistant, which is open source, I think this is what you want!

I don't really understand why this is the case. Nukes don't defend against nukes—MAD defends against WMDs. Why do new and fancier WMDs make MAD no longer effective?

I simply use a 40ish character passphrase. My primary attack vectors are keyloggers/local malware and browser/extension vulnerabilities, which also apply to a local ciphertext.

This adds another service you now need to deploy and maintain. For small personal projects, I definitely would like to avoid that if I can!

For a recent project I picked a similar approach, but a directory full of JSON files, where the filename is the key and the value is the contents of the file. This gets me two improvements over the single massive object persisted to disk in
