  • Interesting, I tend to worry less about the password store than external password managers. Maybe you are onto something and I should research it further. But the breaches I hear about have all been with external managers. I particularly don’t want anything uploading passwords to remote storage. If I have to share a password between two machines (laptop and phone), I just transfer it manually. Another minor nuisance.


  • I just set fennec to delete all the cookies and stuff when I “quit” from the pulldown menu. Yeah that logs me off of sites but that’s ok, I use the built in password store to log back in quickly. If I just close the browser rather than selecting “quit”, the cookies stay around. So I use “quit” when I want to get rid of the cookies, maybe a few times a day.









  • Beaglebone has always been less shittified than Rpi, but didn’t keep up price-wise.

    Rpi fell under the spell of consumer attention almost from the beginning, abandoning whatever mission it had to make media center boards.

    Besides Broadcom, Rpi is also under the thumb of ARM. I don’t see why else the Pico didn’t use RISC-V cores with actual mul/div and floating point hardware instead of the kludges they bolted onto the cortex m0.








  • If you want a fancy multi-user site, the source code for archiveofourown.org is on github or gitlab (idr which). But for a small single user site I’d just go static. You could go full nerdy and write in texinfo then run an html converter. Texinfo is actually for computer manuals so it has chapters, sections, cross references, indexes, link navigation between pages, the whole bit. It is a markup language which I think is better than a wysiwyg formatter for documents that will be read in more than one way. I think there is a way to make epubs from texinfo docs.

    In a sort of similar spirit there is Org mode (org-mode.org) but you have to be or become an Emacs zealot to use it.

    Look also at pandoc.org which converts between lots of formats.
