I do, but I'm OK with being a statistical fluke. I imagine there could be a number of IOT, media or other devices unknowingly running Debian on ARM though; more than we realise.

I implemented a minimal OpenID Connect server internally a few years back when it was difficult to find something for our specific use case in Go. I think that while the general idea is good, the spec is a mess: it's too flexible in al

If the libraries produce 128-bit values, then they could use Postgresql's UUID type. In fact, Postgresql should accept anything as a UUID in text mode as long as the value is in hex with a length of either 32 or 36 (32 + 4 dashes), tho

If you are driving slightly over the speed limit, it is a traffic violation with a fixed amount fine. If you are driving 10% or 15% (don't remember) over the speed limit, it becomes a criminal violation which then takes your reported i

Well, sha512 with different initialisation vectors. Even OpenSSL doesn't support sha512_256 yet, but it's coming in the next major release.

My advice as well – I'm running Arch Linux on a ThinkPad. Debian (unstable) or a recent Ubuntu version might work pretty well too. CentOS follows RedHat Enterprise Linux and has way too old software for modern desktop use (unless they

People should learn their tools and systems, but I think it is very important to make it as easy as possible for people to get started with your framework, language or system. Nothing kills interest as quickly as not even being able to get

DNS over HTTPS might or might not be a great idea; but I'm critical whether centralised is better than the current decentralised approach. You're putting all your eggs in one basket, which might become an exceedingly interesting t

This replaces decentralised with centralised in the hope it would be a good idea if the choice is right. I'm sceptical, if nothing else because it would be easier to compromise or DoS one target than a lot of individual DNS providers.

I currently work in academic environments and I don't have much faith in the SSO systems. I thought about this, but often the SSO credentials are also the email password – the one password that gets entered and stored just about everyw

-o, for the newer key format. Or use -t ed25519 to generate ed25519 (elliptic curve) keys. I do recollect that using RSA keys of 4096 bits slows down SSH more than the gain in security might be worth.

I think the "libraries over frameworks" adage definitely should be extended to SAAS as well. Use the tools you can get away with, but with an eye on the future and without painting yourself in the corner. Sometimes convenience mak

My first thought was to make random sectors of the first hard drive the "food"... For better or for worse, this stuff really brings me back to my teens. Nice job!

I guess there's no way around that though, if you want dates to be first class members. Can't do "a bit of date".

I just wrote a simple proxy myself that takes an OIDC authenticated user and forwards the request to backend servers if their session is valid. It only took me two days to get this proxy functionality up and running, but of course the main

As somebody slightly on the autistic spectrum to whom this doesn't always comes naturally, I feel learning just the right amount of fakery is the stuff that keeps relationships alive – in more ways than one. People aren't always i

I understand what you say on an idealistic level, but of all things, we (as a species) really ought to be able to agree on what time it is. Time doesn't stop at the border and in this particular case, it would be silly to come up with

I don't have experience with Maemo, but Meego was not particularly slow or awkward beyond being a young, immature mobile OS. In fact my N9 was remarkably stable considering the circumstances of its birth. And in fact I know several non

I don't know if there are many Jolla/Sailfish users here, but SailOTP works well for standard TOPT/HOTP authentication. I think at the moment it's the only non-default app I have installed on my phone.

I don't blame Google for fake news. However, modern mass media amplifies fake information in near real-time, so it would make sense to also limit fake news from spreading so rapidly and possibly trigger consequences from those whose em

Funnily enough, I'm a guitar player too and I know exactly who/what you are talking about... I guess the pool is smaller than I have always assumed. :)

I use US/intl (also the new Dutch) layout for Nordic languages, Dutch and German. You get all the characters for Scandinavian languages easily with the EURkey layout (AltGr + aow for äöå). I did bind en-dash and em-dash to AltGr + - an

As a guitar player, a lot of playing is muscle memory, combined with an overarching understanding of what you are trying to convey. In fact, the challenge is often to break free from the muscle memory so as not to fall into the same pattern

Jailbreaking and installing FOSS like Jolla is doing with Sailfish on Xperia X right this week, with some help from Sony Open Devices. Still, it would be nice to have some hope do be able to do it without relying on manufacturers' good

If they stick with Qt, maybe they could share some apps with Sailfish. With some coordination, it should be possible to get a common repository "app store" that would also benefit the KDE Plasma Mobile project, and perhaps even Ub

I've done mostly contract work because I liked the freedom when I was younger. Now I notice a lot of people my age have moved on to management or jobs "higher on the ladder" while I stress about the uncertainty of income when

Example one is dogma. It sets one truth. It causes a knee-jerk reaction, perhaps even in people who somewhat agree. Example two is a motivated personal opinion. Most people not completely void of rationality can see that others might have d

So I assumed wrong. I assume my own life experiences filtered through then – my apologies. Of course any discussion about popularity of and reasons for marriage over the last century or so is "heteronormative", for obvious reasons
