    How about these? - rate limit overall messages, maybe even percentage wise: if some ip sent more than 70% of all messages in the last minute, mute it. - let other users mark/report…

    Expected Lean 4, the programming language and proof assistant, but got the management philosophy ;-)

    As Wikipedia says, "some official plugins proprietary". So "can be" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. I would at most compare it to saying that VS Code is open-source.

    Okay, but how do I use this as a replacement when the mic is not working on Linux?

    I think one reason for the web interface is that the device stays usable. If it would export a block device then it would need to unmount the file system on itself or at least bloc…

    The trick is that the human only needs to read and understand the Lean statement of a theorem and agree that it (with all involved definitions) indeed represents the original mathe…

    pass is the best. If your phone is android, I'd recommend https://passwordstore.app/ plus syncthing :-)

    Thanks for making me look up rerere which I first thought would be a typo but actually seems like a really useful thing :-) https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Rerere

    No, but many ereaders at least provide a pin code lock which the rm2 does not.

    Once more I an happy to use the ESR version of Firefox where stuff like this tends to only land much later. Add on top of that the Debian patches and default settings and it's a fi…

    They also wrote Wheesp but it should be Weesp.

    Good point, but I think the feature that I can paste any fediverse URL into the search field on my own mastodon instance and view it there, solves around 40% of the problem. There …

    Nice example, which opened a small rabbit hole for me: what does "first occurrence wins" mean for options that are meant to be used multiple times, such as "Port" in sshd_config. T…

    I think PureOS includes GUFW by default. Does that count or do you mean something else by application firewall?

    The pro1x from fxtec with lineageos plus termux is useful :-)

    Fun analogy, but I think a better match would be that Thunderbird immediately says that it is an email program. From my first look I had no idea whether this is an app to connect t…

    Can you explain why nostr is (apparently?) your favorite over scuttlebutt? Are the protocols similar? https://scuttlebutt.nz/

    How does damus relate to nostr? Your landing page does not explain this at all. Is this because already the concepts of (distinguishing) client and network would be considered too …

    This also solves remote-support problems for me! Afaik there is no VNC Server / TeamViewer / AnyDesk / etc (server!) for Android, but telling someone to plug their phone into some …
