  • The number of “why do influencers always film in public” that I’ve seen leads me to believe that if they were filming in a restaurant instead, this post would not exist, but a “Social Media brainrot. That’s why. They think they can just film anywhere.” post in some other community instead.

    Look, I agree, “fuck cars”; but eating and filming in the car you own is just not problematic beyond owning the car in and on itself, at all. There’s plenty of valid car criticism to be had, you don’t have to go looking for things to be enraged by.








  • I think that at the bare minumum, the PORN<->GOV connection must not occur. How about this (simplified):

    • USER visits porn site
    • PORN site encrypts random nonce + “is this user 18?” with GOV pubkey
    • PORN forwards that to USER
    • USER forwards that to GOV, together with something authenticating themselves (need to have GOV account)
    • GOV knows user is requesting, but not what for
    • GOV checks: is user 18?, concats answer with random nonce from PORN, hashes that with known algo, signs the entire thing with its private signing key
    • GOV returns that to USER
    • USER forwards that to PORN
    • PORN is able to verify that whoever made the request to visit PORN is verified as older than 18 by singing key holder / GOV, by checking certificate chain, and gets freshness guarantee from random nonce
    • but PORN does not know anything about the user

    There’s probably glaring issues with this, this is just from the top of my head to solve the problem of “GOV should know nothing”.

  • Neovim, because I wanted something that would not just disappear.

    I never really got along with VSCode, opting for Atom instead. Microsoft bought GitHub, which owned Atom, and promptly discontinued it.

    Nvim has such an active community (and no “owner”) that I’m certain that this won’t happen again. At the same time, the plugin system is so flexible that I’m also certain that I will never miss out on any shiny new features.

    Over the years, my config has matured, and is mine. The thought of going back to an editor, any editor, less flexible in its configuration than nvim is just… an absolute “no”.

    It’s a steep learning curve, but well worth it.
