Logseq is the best note taking app for me. And a lot of my programmer/adhd colleagues. I cannot keep order in my notes and logseq does it for me. It’s so essential for my workflow that I have a monthly donation to the project set up.

I have multiple different graphs/vaults/whatever synced by simply storing the markdown files in a synced folder and I never had any issues. The new version of logseq is supposed to use a database and syncing, afaik.

Thanks for that rabbit hole. My former colleagues and I have just started a new conversation thread in our WhatsApp group about the differences of (non-) cryptographic hashes and encryption. And all because I was confused why you’ve chosen to reference the public key file in your original comment. Well, at least I’m learning something.

And a lot of time spent in Bunkers

Sorry for the confusion about “encryption”. I meant “signing” which is encrypting a hash of the commit with your private key, so that others can verify that your the author of the commit using your public key and the hash.

I think, the only confusion here was the original comment that referenced the public key for signing, but this was resolved, as it is just telling git which key pair to use. Probably, all people here understand the basics of asymmetrical encryption and signing and it was merely misunderstanding of how the command for signing git commits can be used.

OH! Now I see! Thanks for pointing that out.

Yeah, sorry, I meant signing, not encrypting. I know about asymmetrical encryption. That’s why I was confused by the original statement. For signing you use your private key so that others can verify your identity by using your public key for checking the signature. For encrypting data you use the public key of the receiver.

The original comment used the public key for signing, which is not what you want to do. I now read the explanation.

But why? Public is public. People can take my public key. The can encrypt my commit, making it indistinguishable from my commit.

Isn’t the idea to use your private key for encryption so that everyone can use your public key to decrypt your signature and to verify that it’s you who actually did the commit, because no one else has access to the private key?

Are you using your public ssh key for signing? Wouldn’t it make more sense to use the private one as people can then verify your identity by using your public key?

I work for a kind of data provider/dashboard/planing tool for energy grid providers. There is an issue with the “sudden” rise of solar panels and heat pumps and electric cars. Our grid isn’t made for this and there needs to be modernised.

That being said: Yay abundant clean energy!

Switzerland already has twint and I don’t see them switching to a new system. Maybe that’s where it will lead to: multiple regional services. Not great, but also not a giant corporation.

What we really need are alternatives to US credit card systems.

Came here to say that Switzerland somehow managed to introduce a competitor to Paypal that works flawlessly and EVERYBODY uses it. Twint is the first app I was told to install.

That’s a pretty bleak outlook. It took me about four months to find a job without any contacts. And I live here now. Granted I do speak German, but I don’t speak Swiss-German and I have made friends with other expats and swiss people alike. There’s a job market that is also open for foreigners. I was expecting much more push back from the people around me but they have been very welcoming.

A B permit was easy to get. You need a job and that’s pretty much it. After 5 years you can apply for a C permit. You can try to become a citizen after ten years but that’s a different beast. I have nine years and three months to go. I played a game of DND with a Swiss, a Russian and an Argentinian(?) here. My kid goes to school with someone whose parents are brazilian and dutch who met in Australia. So, it’s definitely possible.

When I was a kid, Chernobyl happened. We weren’t that far away and although I was very little I still remember the fear and uncertainty in my parent’s faces. The following years were marked by research about what we can no longer eat, where our food comes from, etc

I also remember the fights about where to store nuclear waste.

I don’t want to burn coal. I am pretty upset about what happened to our clean energy plans. But I will also never trust nuclear again. And I think, so do many in my generation.

Online vegan here. Just wanted to add that after a couple of years of the same jokes and arguments and demeaning comments that were forced upon you because you had to explain why you don’t want to eat what everyone else around you eats, you kinda lose your tact a bit.

Never went to somebody with a burger in hand and called him a murderer. Been called an emasculated pussy and wittle little rabbit for eating a salad so many times. Same people then complain about annoying vegans. It’s a bit infuriating.

As someone speaking German, a brutally gendered language, let me tell you, they/them is awesome and I’d love to have something similar in German. There is so much fighting and discussions about “gendern” and it consumes so much energy that could be better spent elsewhere. And conservatives are having a field trip with this.

Looking for a new word is equally as hard if not way harder than using what already works fine.

For years, coming back to my hometown made me feel alien, like in a dream where everything was just slightly off. Like somebody came a rearranged my kitchen drawer while I was sleeping. Just wrong.

But now, twenty years later it, it changed. It didn’t become home again but a place that I felt a deep connection to. My friends and I are now parents. The places where we were young and stupid are no longer for us. But that’s okay.

I can never go back. Nor do I want to. But I understand my friends that stayed or returned. It wasn’t such a bad place after all.

The one where she tries to talk her boyfriend down from uprooting their life to start a podcast career in LA is even better.
