      I made a mistake in verifying HTTP Message Signatures
      from @edent
      It's never great to find out you're wrong, but that's how learning and personal growth happens. HTTP Message Signatures are hard. There are lots of complex parts and getting any aspect wrong means certain death. In a previous post, I wrote A simple(ish) guide to verifying HTTP Message Signatures in PHP. It turns out that it was too simple. And far too trusting. An HTTP Message Signature is a…

    Forget HTML! I've added a plaintext theme to my blog.
    Add ".txt" to the end of any URl to get an ultra-low bandwidth version.

      I get confused when I hear statements on the news like "community leaders have called for calm" or "community leaders will be encouraged to host informative programs" or "assurances were provided by local community leaders" or "community leaders have launched a campaign"... I want to ask you a simple question. Who are your community leaders? Take a moment to think about that. Who are my community leaders? I don't know how I identify myself. And I'm not sure if that's a problem or not. I…

    Young folks: Please can we contribute using modern git-based workflow rather than email?
    Old farts: No.

    👶: OK, but can we at least use modern memory-safe languages?
    👴: Also no.

    👶: Perhaps we could modernise our language & attitudes to be more inclusive?
    👴: LOL! No.

    👶: Could we at least consider addressing some long-standing community issues?
    👴: What part of "no" are you having trouble understanding?

    👴: Why aren't there any new people contributing to our project? Truly a mystery. 🙃

    Kobo will price match Amazon - refunding the difference + 10% of the competitor's price.

    I found a Kobo book which was £4.99. Kindle was £4.31.

    So that would get me a credit of £1.11. Nice!

    Or, I can join the Kobo VIP scheme for £6/year. That comes with reward points and price discount.

    The VIP discount for that book takes it to £4.31. Same as Amazon.

    So, I *think* I'm better off getting the £1.11 discount (effective price £3.88).

    Anyone else done the maths on this?

    It looks like Amazon are going to prevent Kindle users from downloading purchased books to transfer over USB.

    I assume this is to stop people stripping the DRM from the files.

    So now I'm looking at Kobo and trying to work out if their price-matching or VIP scheme is worth it.

    (No need to reply to me saying how evil Amazon are, thanks.)

    To summarise:

    💶 Kobo will undercut Amazon Kindle pricing by 10%.
    📖 You can download regular ePubs from them; you don't need to use a Kobo device or app.
    🔓 DRM is trivial to strip.
    🔃 Calibre will convert to any other format if you want to read on a Kindle, Palm Pilot, or whatever.
    🧮 There is a loyalty point / discount scheme. But I'm not entirely sure it is worth it.

    Fair play, a few hours after I submitted the price match, Kobo credited my account.

    Looks like I'm switching my book buying!

    @dansup Facebook had this problem back in the day.
    Angsty teens would rage delete their account, and then regretfully demand it back.
    So they implemented a time-out before proper deletion.
    I guess you technically could still do the "your account will be recoverable for X business days" and still be GDPR compliant if you really wanted.
