@killyourfm @dm There's one issue, though, and it's the RDNA 3.5 CUs. With FSR4 around the corner it would be stupid to rely on CUs which probably won't support the AI upscaling of the RDNA 4 generation

@inthehands I know of those, and the security provided by them is only bolted on a system never meant to be secure. There are so many issues: conflating encryption with authentication, insecure by default, key management, no group recipient encryption support with changing members (e.g. mailing lists), additional devices are hard to authorize.

Looking at instant messengers, modern messengers like Signal or WhatsApp solved a lot of the issues of their predecessors. I'd like to know how mail would look if it were to be designed today with all we know.

@inthehands That made me ask myself: If some smart people were to design a secure, E2E supporting, distributed mail system, how would that look? Maybe some people already have and nobody noticed?

@cwebber Spritely Millenium Edition!

@gamingonlinux I just had a glitch in the RSS feed resulting in me getting the last 50+ articles anew. But that's not the reason for me writing.

Getting this massive overview showed me that you published a few opinion articles or commentaries like this one in the last few days and weeks and I just wanted to tell you that I really appreciate those. The news are great but putting context around developments is even better. So thanks. 🙂

@david_chisnall Natural language interfaces are akin to magic. It's all under the assumption that the intent is somehow, magically recognised. Funnily, there are cautionary tales re magic addressing exactly this aspect. Almost all stories involving wishes turn the phrasing against the one expressing their wishes (see djinns, fairies, etc.).

@jwildeboer Branches and tags are very confusing for beginners like me. The whole git concept is totally strange for people not working with it every day. So, I totally agree.

@jwildeboer That's really good advice. The only thing that'd come to my mind: How to merge my local changes with upstream then? Or rebase or whatever.

@kaia Plot twist: It's the same room, two different perspectives.

@kaia my current NAS has two 5.25" bays where I put a 6-bay 2.5" module into. I didn't find any cases with six or more 2.5" bays for a *reasonable* price.

I'd love to refit my old NAS with SSDs but unless someone provides me with 3.5" SSDs I have to use 2.5 to 3.5 inch adapters.

@kaia What's the use case? I provisioned my NAS with SSDs. They are faster than the NAS network connection.

@kaia I need four of those! My old NAS only has 3.5" bays.

@kaia Also, nicht alle haben das Feature.

@kaia Gibt es. Die wechseln die Anzeige durch.

Ich habe gestern bei Aldi übrigens einen kleinen Preisschock erlitten, als ich sah, dass die vormals 300g schwere 270g Packung der Zettis Knusperflocken nicht mehr 3,29€ (vor mir wenigen Jahren 2,99€ bei 300g) kostet, sondern 4,49€.

Immerhin weiter bei 270g. Man muss ja auch mal was Positives sehen.

@kaia In KeePassXC in the menu Database there's the option Merge Databases or Datenbanken zusammenführen if your language is set to German. Then select the database you want to merge. Repeat for every single database. I'd recommend opening your latest database and starting to merge the oldest conflict, working towards the present. If you're done delete the conflict files.

@kaia At least merging databases is mostly painless nowadays.

Ich glaube, ich weiß, was ich antippen werde.

@kaia It's masculine!

Maybe that's why it's ugly.
