No idea where I am, I feel like I just try to choose between what aligns best with my needs, and sometimes it's funny because you can end up realizing that there wasn't much needs in the first place. Like how I ended up settling on a feature phone, I wanted a phone with telephony as a first-class feature, smartphones don't do this, they're more and more PDAs with telephony as an addon.
@nyx Yeah, I wish there would be more software with bigger scopes than annoyingly minimalist ones (that sometimes doesn't even manages to be 50% done…) but sadly it seems like we only have two extremes these days. Minimalist to the point where you'd miss 90's stuff, and maximalist and monolithic so if you don't have a litterally bell&whistle feature in your desktop it won't run.
@phnt Well I can't do anything about the server maintenance anyway, I don't have access to the server (hosted at MFC, I'd sign the paperwork for it but so far only have access to the admin panel of gitlab).
@phnt Yeah there was some issues with the gitlab apparently, feld did a rollback yesterday and then well:
feld> Gitlab server desperately needs an OS upgrade, so I'm manually running a backup first before proceeding with anything, but the HDD appears to be dying (thought it was an SDD actually, my mistake)

At least me and hj use email for the notifications so the messages aren't lost.
@0xabad1dea@xgranade Cracking modern cryptography being kind of a weird thing when you actually put the math on what's required for it, I think people forget way too easily that it's measured in powers of two.
And it's quite visible with how few cryptographic algorithms have been cracked this last decade (like only that comes to mind is SHA1 and it was known weak in ~2007), what's been done instead these past decades is backdooring and cracking either the crypto implementation or something in it's address space.
@cwebber Reminds me that in the back of my mind I'm like "Maybe I should implement PubSubHubbub in my feed reader" ever since I stopped using GnuSocial/Friendica.
