Alberta wishes it were part of the US.
I vaguely recall Bruce Schneier saying that there is good evidence that the NSA cannot crack certain encryption methods. At the time, RSA was on the list. Maybe common methods mean roll-your-own corporate encryption, but it’s my understanding that GNUpg and similar software are safe.
Should I Create A Rust or C Wikibook?
Should I Create A Rust or C Wikibook? - sh.itjust.works
Folks, I need a hobby. I’m a C programmer who has lost his passion for programming, it seems. I’ve decided to try to spark my passion again by going back to the basics, perhaps by creating a programming tutorial Wikibook, for modern applications. The trouble is, I cannot decide if I should make C or Rust my programming language of choice. I use C all the time, and have barely any experience in Rust. Do I go with ol’ reliable and risk being outdated in a few years, or go with the new language and risk being too niche and unpopular?
Calgarian here. Can confirm.
Publishers are absolutely terrified "preserved video games would be used for recreational purposes," so the US copyright office has struck down a major effort for game preservation
What Apps Are Missing on Mobile Linux?
What Apps Are Missing on Mobile Linux? - sh.itjust.works
Hey everyone, I’m going insane due to a lack of creative project. I’ve written an app already but I haven’t gotten around to publishing it yet. I’d like to know what kind of apps you’d like to see created for mobile Linux. I prefer easier, bite-sized projects over particularly large ones, but I’d love to hear your ideas nevertheless.
What App Should I Create for Mobile Linux? Alternatively, What App Can You Not Go Without?
Damn. I know this life. I don’t wish it on anyone, except those who exposed me to it…
Free Culture and A Sense of Community
Free Culture and A Sense of Community - sh.itjust.works
Hey everyone, I recently wrote a mobile-friendly GNU/Linux app called Weights and Measures. It takes a number, and converts it into different units of measurement. I know, it’s not the most advanced thing in the world, but I believe it’s handy enough that more people than myself could use such an app. Personally, I use it to convert my weight from lbs to kilograms. The thing is, I know that I should publish it, but I feel very demotivated from doing so. Publishing requires effort, so it typically requires a specific motivator. For myself, I used to have much a much stronger stance when it came to free/libre software. Lately however, I feel very disconnected from any sense of community. I don’t really feel like we are much of a community in the first place. I don’t know a single person in my real life who cares about libre software outside of myself, and online, I feel somewhat jaded, as those who care about libre software seem to be more about worshipping the fungus of Richard Stallman’s feet than they are about the actual libre culture movement. As such, I can’t decide whether I should keep working on it, or just keep it to myself. TL;DR: Lonely software developer feels jaded from the libre software community and probably needs to find a way to connect with like-minded folks online.
