Also, hard disagree.

rmpc is great. But TUI, so not for everyone, I know.

Manche Lehrer binden die Handys im Unterricht ein. zB für Fotografie oder um Filme zu machen.

Naja gut ist ne Kamera. Das kann ich verstehen.

Klar, jede Schule hat jetzt ein App für den Stundenplan, Vertretungen / Ausfall, Krankmeldungen und aktuelle Nachrichten. Hausaufgaben gibts im Cloud.

Das hingegen nicht. Und ich bin noch nicht soooo lang ais der Schule raus. Geht es denn zumindest noch analog, oder ist das effektiv ein Android/iOS Zwang?

Doof nur, dass ein Mobilgerät für allerlei in der Schule verausgesetzt wird.

Was? 😭

So what. I’m sleeping, remember?

Obviously next to House. He wants his seat neighbors to stfu and let him sleep. I want the same. It’s perfect.

Huh - you’re right. I went back to Signal’s X3DH spec because I was sure I was right, but it seems I misremembered how the “prekey bundles” work: Users publish these to the server, allowing (in my original assumption) for the server to just swap them out for a server/attacker-controlled key bundle for each Alice and Bob.

However, when Alice wants to send Bob an initial message and she gets a forged prekey bundle, Bob will simply not be able to derive the same key and communication will fail, because Bob knows what his SPK private key is, while the server only knows the public key.

A compromised server would allow the server to man-in-the-middle all new connections (as in, if Alice and Bob have never talked to each other before, the Server/Eva can MITM the x3dh key exchange and all subsequent communication). That’s why verifying your contact’s signatures out-of-band is so important.

(And if you did verify signatures in this case, then the issue would immediately be apparent, yes.)

Edit: I was wrong. See below.

That’s why safewords should be passphrases! /s

Hold on, actually no, not /s

Ich glaube ich hatte einfach Glück: bin vor ca. 8 Monaten als Software Engineer gestartet, kurz nach Abschluss vom MA Informatik. 100% remote und ziemlich zufrieden mit der Vergütung.

Glück sage ich aber vor allem deshalb, weil mein jetziger Arbeitgeber das einzige Vorstellungsgespräch war, was ich hatte. Ansonsten nur eine negative Rückmeldung zur Bewerbung, eine Einladung zum Bewerbungsgespräch 4 Monate später (lol) und sonst gar nix.

Aachen?

Funny, I’ve also already read that 😄 Good blog and article.

What blog?

It’s a very steep curve to start, with some additional minor steep parts along the way, but it’s not a long curve. Once you got the core concepts and the basic language constructs, you’ve learned most of what you’ll ever need.

Two nice resources: search.nixos.org is super handy, and you can search GitHub with language:nix and a search term to get tons of examples from other people.

Oh, and nix and just is actually a pretty common combo!

Yep, exactly.

To be fair, if you use Debian, Arch, Fedora,… long enough, you also know how to tweak your machine for every purpose. In Nix, it’s just somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy, because you have to know how to tweak your system to achieve… anything, and then it’s the same tweaking mechanics for every other purpose as well.

My Steam Deck also runs NixOS.

Because this way I can much more comfortably configure it, plus everything game related I automated through nix for my Desktop (e.g. mod installs, reShade config,…) immediately and without any extra steps also applies to the Steam Deck.

Yes. Everything is NixOS. Because it’s perfect for everything.

Ha, thanks, I’d already read that. And I do, mostly, agree; the OMEMO implementation is not great both from the security perspective discussed in the post, as well as the UX (not being able to decrypt old messages on new devices at all).

That being said, I primarily want a selfhosted, federated messenger which also takes privacy and security seriously, and at least for the former, XMPP is really refreshingly good.

Ugh. I’ve always liked Matrix (and was not bothered too much by the metadata leaks because my home server was not federated anyways), but after noticing some issues and finally reading up on the actual protocol spec a couple of weeks ago… oof. Yeah. No.

Set up XMPP for now. Works really well and the protocol seems so much saner. Unfortunately, it too has some annoyances that are unacceptable to me in the long term. I’m this close to saying “fuck it” and wasting the next couple of years of my life on a new protocol that no one is gonna use. (Cue the XKCD here.)

Not to dimish your work at all, but: the Sonarr upgrades absolutely do work.
