@nprofile…9qtz I'm using Proton Mail as my main email provided for the last... 4 years, I believe? Checking spam in GMail once in a couple of months, but not actually using it anymore.
I love that you can import your own PGP keys for email encryption, and in general the security aspect it is very customizable yet straightforward.
The biggest downside (which is not that big, really) is that it doesn't support IMAP and SMTP, you either need to use their clients or set up your own bridge. So you can't configure e.g. @nprofile…g4yp to work with it.
Also, they have transitioned to be a Non-Profit organization, so I'm not too concerned about enshittification.
The only horror story was that they were required to disclose their access logs to the authorities, which contained IP addresses, and the suspect was sentenced to jail because if this. IIRC, they improved something after the incident, but don't take my word for it.
Anyway, I'm a happy customer, and am planning to remain their client for the foreseeable future:)

#TIL: in Finnish there's word "kusipelti" for a neighbour, who urinates onto an oven tray, freezes it, and then drops the "icicles" into other people's mail boxes (which are usually in the entrance doors). I love the neighboring culture in this country 🇫🇮

@npub1vr4…92wq Some time ago I wrote a proposal¹ to deprecate sections in Zola in favor of pages with subpages. My hope is that it will enable support for arbitrary site structures, and based on the discussion around, it seems that the proposal is accepted.
Zola and Tera are undergoing heavy rewrite now, so hopefully they will suit your needs some time in the future 😊

I really want to like Zed editor, but:
1. It's developed by a for-profit VC-backed company
2. They require developers to sign Contributor License Agreement
So there's an obvious risk that it'll run out of funding, start introducing paid/noisy/crappy features and eventually relicense the whole thing to lock it behind a paywall before vanishing out of the existence. The open-source license won't help, like it didn't with Atom (the previous project by the same authors).
But hey, in the meanwhile it's a nice editor :)

@npub17gd…a8lw The most fascinating part about it is that people (as species) can just stop being injured by commonly adopting better tools. Laptop manufacturers can switch to ortholinear layout and away from QWERTY, but we're somehow stuck in the limbo when _not enough _ people get injured to change the status quo 😓
I also got RSI and had to walk the similar path (though my choice was Dactyl Manuform + Carpalx layout), and my fury at keyboard and laptop companies is unbound. Thanks for ruining people's hands, even though you totally could have not to 😡

I'm working on an "info-station" project: an e-ink display attached to a microcontroller (ESP32-C3) showing weather and local transport info. One of the challenges is to translate "smart symbol" code (e.g., 24) returned from a weather provider API into an image.
I found a repo with all the images in SVG format, and spent some time setting up building scripts in Rust to create an automated conversion pipeline.
Rendering an SVG into raster turns out to be surprisingly difficult. Luckily, there's the `resvg`crate, which handles it nicely. A quote from its README is worth mentioning:
> SVG is a very complicated format with a large specification (SVG 1.1 is almost 900 pages). You basically need a web browser to handle all of it. But the truth is that even browsers fail at this.
Then, an e-ink screen only supports black and white colors, no shades of gray. To emulate "grayish" color Floyd-Steinberg dithering can be applied. Luckily, the `image` create ships with the implementation, so the whole pipeline is tiny in terms of LoC written by me. Thank you, Rust community <3
On the screenshot:
0: original SVG image
1: SVG rendered into 40×40 raster image
2: Alpha channel replaced with white
3: BMP conversion (useless)
4: Luma8 conversion
5: Dithering

@npub17gd…a8lw, sorry for the direct ping, but you're the only air quality geek I know, and I need advice 😅
What mask/respirator are you using?
I'm looking for something to use daily for bacterial protection during the commute. I'd prefer reusable masks, which are made in Europe and passed at least FFP2 certification.
After doing my research, I ended up with just two options: Airinum Air Light 2 or a Vogmask.
Do you happen to know if these are viable options? Did I miss something?

I would really, **really** like people to understand this simple thing: there's no such thing as "support for a totalitarian government". If the government would have the support of the majority, it wouldn't need to be totalitarian, it would fit into democracy just fine.
But when it doesn't have the majority, it shuts down mass media, journalists, opposition, and then starts convincing everyone internally and externally that its support is unanimous. Don't ever fall for that.
Sure, there are individuals inside such countries who will pledge the allegiance to it, BUT please remember that probably at least one of the following is true:
* They might support anyone currently in power, not just this particular government
* They want to stay safe and to "belong" to the imaginary major group of supporters
* They are scared
All of these are natural, and completely normal reactions given the circumstances.

I've never backed anything on Kickstarter before, but there's a graphic novel prequel to Legacy of Kain. It's the first official product being released in the last 20 years.
A successful camping will probably be a good push towards game remakes, so if you have a couple of bucks to throw in, please do! Only ~1.5 days left 🥹

You let out the last breath. Your consciousness shrinks into a tiny dot of light before vanishing out of existence...

The caption above the numbers reads:

@npub1xym…nz48 @npub1j0r…kse5 In the long term, it's much more profitable if a homeless person recovers, finds a job, buys an apartment (e.g. taking mortgage) and starts paying taxes compared to a person who is drunk, causes troubles and requires constant medical attention 🤷
Sure, there are people who are not willing to do anything at all, but their number is smaller than the number of people who had bad luck and just need help and support for a while.
