In certain translations of the anime, they're referred to as cousins. Quite the cousins they are

This hits the nail right on the head. The point of cloud services is to take away all the overheads of building and delivering software solutions that have nothing to do with the actual business problem I'm trying to solve.

If I want to get a new product to market, I want to spend most of my time making my core product better, more marketable, more efficient. I don't want to divert time and resources to just keep the lights on, like having to hire a whole bunch of people whose only jobs is to provision and manage servers and IT infrastructure (or nurse a Kubernetes cluster for that matter). Managing Kubernetes or physical tin servers is not what my business is about. All this tech infrastructure is a means to an end, not the end itself.

That's why cloud services is such a cost efficient proposition for 98% businesses. Hell, if I could run everything using a serverless model (not always possible or cost effective) I'd do it gladly.

I was using the Signal "notes to self" too when taking notes during talks and conferences. Taking quick pictures of the slides in context was also a key thing for me. Exporting these unstructured notes into a useful notes archive is a pain as you say, especially if there is media too.

I caught myself doing this so often that I ended up building myself an app for this specific workflow. It's rather simple, just an MVP if you will, but it works well for me. Taking notes works exactly like Signal's "note to self" but it has some QoL stuff on top of that like separate notebooks and exporting notes and pictures to a single PDF archive. I can then import the PDF archive into Notion, which is my main notes repository. Notion can now parse PDF files and import them as regular Notion pages, which closes the loop for me rather nicely. YMMV ofc

I haven't published it to any app stores yet (might do in the future) but the source code is available here if you're technically savvy and happy to build and install it yourself.

I didn't know this. That's so wholesome and adorable!

Yeah, but there are degrees of vulnerability. Otherwise, things like password strength or MFA wouldn't matter.

If all your passwords are fully random, then that's one less weakness that can be exploited. People can't make educated guesses about your passwords just from analysing your social media profiles and history, e.g. if you post a lot about Star Wars, it's more likely your passwords could contain a Star Wars reference.

That system is vulnerable to social engineering attacks. If hackers found out all their favourite things that lead to the core part of the password, guessing the prefix wouldn't be that hard. Also, what would your friend do if one of these passwords got compromised and had to change it? Would he just add a 1 to the site-specific part of the password?

where my boxxy fans at

 

With evidence mounting on the failure to limit global warming to 1.5C, do you think global carbon emissions will be low enough by 2050 to at least avoid the most catastrophic climate change doomsday scenarios forecast by the turn of the century?

I am somewhat hopeful most developed countries will get there but I wonder if developing countries will have the ability and inclination to buy into it as well.
