@stefanoStefano Marinelli openSUSE has come a long way. My first experience with it was SUSE Linux Professional 9.3 back in 2005. Desktop Linux was still in its early stages then and it did alright. A little buggy in some places but otherwise OK. I used its enterprise variants over the years, rather enjoyably.

I used it again briefly on another build in 2013. Just after restoring my data into a freshly installed system, the OS locked up *hard*. After the reboot, everything and I mean *everything* I had just restored to /home/pete was gone. Including the rest of my profile. The directory was empty. I went back to Debian as a daily driver and didn't touch openSUSE for almost a decade.

I decided to try both Tumbleweed and Leap 15 on a spare laptop. Yes, both are stable and have improved over the years. I prefer Leap over Tumbleweed. Unfortunately, due to that one data loss experience I am skeptical of using it (as a daily driver). I hope you have a much better experience with it.

삼성 스마트폰에는 모든 클립보드 내용이 무기한으로 내부에 평문 저장되어 있다고. 알려지고도 별 일 아니라는 식으로 대응 중이라 외국에서 시끄럽다고 한다. 삼성은 기술과 정책 모두 여전히 후진적이다.

아이폰 싫어하는데, 결국 구글 픽셀 써야 하나... 하지만 안 들어와서 선택지가 아니라 결국 다음엔 아이폰 가야 할 듯. 픽셀 들어오면 그거 쓰고.

サービス利用の割引でGlobalSignの証明書がタダでもらえたので設定したみた。

組織認証ではなく、ドメイン認証なので全く差は無いしSSL証明書は基本的にどれを利用してもセキュリティには影響がないけど有料の証明書ってなんかカッコいいね。

（盗聴の疑いとかデーター漏洩とかの不祥事起こすとwebブラウザーやその他クライアントが認証局リストから外す為。）

There was that story last month about the Turks demanding that certain opposition Bluesky accounts be silenced. They were (mostly, sort of, it’s complicated). I dug into it and came away with an essay on what we want and don’t want concerning censorship or no-censorship and how well and the might give us that: tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/20

I'm working on setting up a #NonProfit for #BTFree , which is a #digital #privacy, #advocacy and #consulting #platform, aka running #social #web platforms such as #Peertube or to help folks set up their own.

So I'm going to need to take #donations . Looking at @Liberapay , but they still need a #payment #processor like #Paypal.

So what's the advantage of something like Liberapay if I still need Paypal to handle actual donations? Not criticizing, attempting to learn. #Fedi

📝 If I Wrote a Linter, Part 1: Architecture

I'm writing a series of blog posts on zany ideas for where we could take a web linter next. This is part 1 of ~4, on the core architecture. Let me know what you think! 😊

If I Wrote a Linter, Part 1: Architecture | Goldblog

This how I would architect a modern linter from scratch: focusing on built-in TypeScript support, a straightforward rule development experience, and deduplicating tooling.
