# "I deleted all my SSH keys"
This is a great blogpost, by @alexhaydock.
I've been experimenting with hardware-resident keys recently, but I've stumbled with support for Android.

an interesting consequnce of this is that going scorched earth on LLM users has no downside compared to being chill & polite. you can just fuck 'em up in public https://mastodon.social/@jplebreton/117593023134982852

Welcome, I like your energy!
Try to be an active participant, comment, vote, post if you feel like it around the topics that interest you.
And a word of advice : heavily curate your experience. block people, communities and instances if necessary to cut down on negativity/noise and you’ll have a great time here.
Hope you stick around!
Interesting, still flooding in Georgia due to the extreme rainfall the other day. New alerts issued.

Ugh, my sister lives there and it's been a slog.
“Toyota is rebooting its Scion brand, which for 13 years sold small and entry-level vehicles aimed at younger buyers, as an experimental lab for making things besides traditional cars.
“Scion will start by selling the sort of microsize pickup truck that is beloved by Japanese buyers but long off-limits to Americans.
“The KEI-01 will be road-legal in all 50 states, but classified as a ‘low-speed vehicle’ and limited to 25 miles an hour.”
@jalefkowit ok, but when are they going to make a hybrid Yaris?
LEDs are a wild west and I feel like with street lamps nobody cares about picking the right color temperature or high CRI.
@Gargron I complained about high colour temperature LED streetlights to someone from the city of Calgary, citing all of the evidence that I could find about why they were a bad choice. Their response was that their wife liked the new streetlights. Now a bunch of them are also turning purple. We have literally painted our city in a bad light.

Welcome! Glad you're liking it.
The big complaints that people tend to have are that federation is a bit confusing, and that it's no where near as big as Reddit. They're both valid, and probably won't change any time soon.
But I think sometimes people overlook the positive aspects of federation and smaller communities. Reddit is damn near unusable these days, and it's full of bots, slop, reposters, ads, and power tripping admins/mods. The Fediverse has been around for quite a few years now and still feels like a place for actual human beings with a lot of freedom to take things in different directions.
not a fan of the early-to-mid-90s era of gaming where CDs were taking off and developers were finally excited to have things actually voiced instead of written as text, but not smart enough to recognize that subtitles are still useful for accessibility
I address cat instead of chat because I get more meows.
... if at start of file carefully checks for a byte-order-mark, logs what its doing, initializes various properties, inits the actual parser (which I'll describe tomorrow!), checks if there's a pending page to remember, retrieves a pending page it remembered, flushes or remembers a pending text-block, increments the Y axis by the pending spacing, starts a new text block, inits some properties, enters a mainloop, cleans up with flushes, & updates its progress properties.
5/6!!
Until it reaches a page limit that mainloop periodically checks an abort callback, reads a line from the file, handles blank lines (including all whitespace lines) by flushing the current text-block starting a new one, resets & invokes the actual parser, checks some limits upon which it should flush its text-block or face performance issues, & updates our current offset unless we've hit the page limit.
6/6 Fin for today! Tomorrow: That actual parser, as stated!
Flight is a sin (unless you're a bird).
Google Fi is bringing back multiple cell network support for better coverage https://www.theverge.com/tech/1030979/google-fi-automatic-network-switching-pixel
you ever think about how #Mozilla created #Rust to develop #Servo, the engine for the next generation of their browser, and then jettisoned all the Rust and Servo people, and now Rust is worth more than Mozilla and the remnant volunteer effort behind Servo is the great hope for the future of the open web
yeah me too

I’m new to the Fediverse, and so far I’m loving it
It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.
I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.
I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.
And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.

I am once again debating setting up an old school mailing list for admins of self hosted and/or small email sites to compare notes.
Anyone interested?
Libertarians: You can't regulate companies. Don't you understand the damage that does to the economy? If there somehow develops so much market concentration that one industry dominates the stock market and the CEO of the company everybody relies on for their hardware gets tricked into an extramarital affair by a Chinese spy, everybody should just suffer the repercussions. Anything the govt might do to prevent such a situation would be worse. That's a core commandment of market fundamentalism.
