This is the way

Maybe a bit niche, but if you’re in the Scala ecosystem and seen what happened with Akka -> Apache Pekko. Version one of Pekko was a 1-1 rename of Akka

You can probably encase a Raspberry PI with a battery and a touch screen, micro SD cards can go much higher than 16, and install Linux. Keep in mind that the Linux touch UIs aren’t really great imo, the best experience I’ve had so far is the steam deck.

I’ve been using gocryptfs now for a few years and it works fine as you describe.

You initiate the encrypted folder, set up automatic backups for it. Then whenever you want to access it you mount it into another folder.

There is a distinction here between the permanently encrypted folder that you can upload backup whatever, and your temporary mount, unencrypted folder.

If you’re alright with the rare conflicts to fix yourself something like syncthing works well for this setup even across computers.

Is it possible to generate this kind of funny image with your own face already? I know that there’s all the deepfake type stuff people do but I assume with an image generator you get better quality.

This might be obvious but I’m very out of the loop on image generation

Cryptocurrencies are not like stocks, stock is partial ownership of an enterprise which has the ultimate goal of generating more revenue, stocks are not a trading currency.

I need to put up some windows in the Hague, you seem to know your shit, care to pm me your company or contractor?

Yes I have setup recurring donations for some projects that really do ease up and save me so much time, although I don’t think that this should be the way to keep OSS projects alive at the end of day.

If we let it companies will outsource this responsibility to us, even when often in the current economy they are the biggest profiteers from OSS and adjacent projects.

I donate to neovim and endeavour os, I would also donate to awesome / whatever tiling manager I currently use as it just saves me so much time (and literal pain in my case by reducing the use of the mouse).

These people are doing great job in maintaining systems that are easy to use, fast and very customizable, making actually using my computer enjoyable as opposed to the slow, non accessible, bloated UIs from other OSs

There are solutions to it. For example in Scala I’ve had to use Class tags a couple of times before and they were ergonomic and functioned well

As someone that has also spent an unnecessary amount of time doing things like setting up developer envs, ricing and encryption on the steam deck I appreciate this post 👍
