I have a playlist called “All week repeat”. It doesn’t mean I listen to the playlist all week, it means that every single song on it has been on a one-song-repeat the entire work week.

I built an arcade machine from scratch (MAME for arcade games) and had a coin button to begin with. Mostly meant that it was too easy to just spam the coin and start button (sits beside one another) and just “pay” our way through games.

I built coin slots with tokens falling through a light sensor and now it is a little more work to “pay”, and also a slight shame introduced to the gameplay when your pile of tokens are significantly smaller than your friend’s :)

We’re trying a little harder now to play better.

MessagEase is a nice keyboard built for mobile devices, using 9 keys for typing with swiping to access some of the letters.

Numbers and special characters can also be accessed without having to switch mode.

“Crime was always with us, he reasoned, and therefore, if you were going to have crime, it at least should be organised crime.”

This is an interesting book I can recommend by Susan Cain: Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking

Exactly this. I am a very social person when among people, but pay a price for it afterwards, as I’m drained of energy.

Introverts gains energy by being by them selves. Extroverts needs to be with other persons to gain energy,

That said, most people are not neccessarily completely one or the other.

I understand where the misconception comes from though. Seems likely that being introvert often leads to not be very social since you’re “punished” for it by your own mind.

Ah, so AI will kill off humanity. Not with a terminator but as a sex chat bot, leaving people unable to interact normally with other humans. No more human children!

They would have had my wife locked up then, who has a lot of Hello Kitty gear and clothing, now being 45 years old :)

Phew, looks good on the news with the packaging bug (if they didn’t just got cold feet for worse PR/backlash than they expected and this is a backtracking).

In this case, hopefully Garcia is employed for his expertise and can be deployed to further open source relations :)

I’m running a couple of Vaultwarden instances, and it would be really nice if Bitwarden employed Garcia to improve the Rust backend. But as the bitter cynic I am, I guess it is an effort to shut down and control as much of the open source use of Bitwarden as possible.

The worst case, someone will most likely fork Vaultwarden and we can still access it with Keyguard on mobile and the excellent Vaultwarden web interface :)

Daniel García, owner of the Vaultwarden repo, has recently taken employment for Bitwarden.

The plot thickens.

We have had the opposite problem in the past. A cert provider requiring us to exist in certain international directories of companies took weeks of waiting around on bureaucratic red tape.

Then they didn’t even call us to verify our existance, place of business or anything (yeah, this was one of the big certificate providers a long time ago).

Their website was horrible, and their support wasn’t better.

LetsEncrypt though hasn’t failed me once since it was setup, and that is over hundreds of domains with thousands of renewals.
