I’d still like some algorithm in my RSS aggregator. One, that detects articles talking about the same thing and groups them.


Then there’s the older way of checking CRLs which any tool of the past few decades should support.


Reminds me of companies that still call themself “startup” even after several years with a successful product. Just so they can rip employees off with low base pay and unpaid overtime because “we’re a startup”.


I’m pretty sure it’s the SSL seller lobby just wanting more money, tbh. Selling snake oil security.
And selling “certificate automation” tools.


The point is, if the certificate gets stolen, there’s no GOOD mechanism for marking it bad.
That’s what OCSP is for. Only Google isn’t playing along as per that wiki entry.


I usually boot the System-Rescue CD (can also boot from USB) and use GPartEd to resize partitions.

Or a better SD card. I’ve used my various Raspberrys with SD cards for years without any issues. The only single incident I’ve had was a card turning read-only. Which I’ve only noticed because system updates were gone after a reboot. But all the main data was still there and accessible. And a simple clone to a new card followed by fsck restored full functionality in the Pi again.


But what do you do with your Passkey in your password manager if you have to login on another device (you don’t own)?
That old laptop’s CPU and TPM are “not supported” by Win11. And also, Win10 already didn’t run that smoothly on it - so, I didn’t even try to hack Win11 onto it.
Read my text again. This is my only Windows laptop - and it needs to be actual Windows for all the obscure firmware update tools of some devices I have flying around.
Everything else in my household is either Linux or MacOS.
I took the opportunity to “downgrade” to Windows 7. My old HP laptop (which is specifically for a few specialty Windows-only apps) feels double as fast now compared to Windows 10 before. And with the help of LegacyUpdates.net and VxKex-NEXT (provides the very few Windows 10 API calls so you can even run most Win10-only apps on Win7) you get a pretty nice and lean system.
I just found a pattern. Monday, where it was showing up 1 hour earlier, I was connected to my M365 Cloud PC via my home Macbook. Then, the appt (only this one) showed up wrong.
Yesterday, I was using that same Cloud PC from my work (Windows-)laptop and the appt showed up at the correct time.
Today, I’m using the exact same Cloud PC - without rebooting - from my Macbook again and Outlook shows it wrong again.
So, that virtual machine that’s called Cloud PC does something different depending on the system you’re connecting from. How stupid is that?


I thought so, too, at first. But why did Teams (using the “New Calendar” setting) show it correctly? And why did it fix itself today?
You’re not alone. We’re forced to use Classic Outlook at work.
I’ve got a monthly recurring appointment for a Zoom call. That was due today again. There was the switch to winter time last week and Outlook decided to “adjust” the scheduled time for me.
That meeting was originally for 11am and should continue to be at 11am during standard time. However, yesterday I’ve noticed that Outlook put it at 10am (and showed a proud message that it adjusted it due to timezone change). No way to undo it.
Teams continued to show it at 11am where it belongs.
Now, when trying to move it to 11 in Outlook, Teams moved it to 12.
And when I opened Outlook this morning, the appt was at 11am where it belongs and Outlook and Teams agreed again.
Mind you, this was only this external Zoom call. All other appointments are still correct. Very weird.
I’m running a local SearXNG which still provides usable results. I don’t see the point in paying for what’s basically a smart phone book. If everything fails, I’m going full #oldweb and use #webrings or some of those retro lists.


Even better: YouTube still provides RSS feeds. You can “subscribe” to your favourite channels by adding them to your RSS reader.
And for desktop, there’s also FreeTube.
¿Por qué no los dos? Make Home Assistant your master automation system because it supports a huge amount of devices. And then expose those to HomeKit using the HomeKit Bridge service.
This makes all compatible devices (i.e. everything HomeKit can interpret) show up in Apple Home, too.
That’s how I do it, so I can ask my HomePods to turn lights on and off or lower the blinds.
