What's your favorite tax software?

  • How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man!

  • I've been using Vim for over 10 years. The first few years I used it badly. Later I took time to really learn it. Now I can use it fairly decently, but I still learn new things every now and then.

    It feels like a really good investment. It's been around forever, it's gonna be around forever, it's installed on almost all computers, and you're going to be forced to use it at some point or another.

    I really enjoy being able to go to any computer and starting up a familiar editor, without installing or configuring stuff. I also use a very vanilla Vim. If a coworker's laptop or some server has a different Vim config than mine, I can usually do vim -u NONE to get back to a familiar place.

  • Grammy has been giving farmers baths

    What's a farmer bath?

  • Because ... well ... wait, not a bad idea. Although, this would get rid of comments. Which in my case, I didn't have too many, so I could have manually added them back.

  • if I choose to store them online/cloud encrypted / (edit: encrypt first then upload it) ... there’s always the potential for a very near future breaches or compromises

    Does this matter? Say you upload your encrypted photo backup to Mega Upload (or whatever) and some unauthorized person gets a copy of your encrypted data. So? It's encrypted? They can't read or see the data?

    Are you worried about state actors breaking the encryption?

  • Kendrick calling Drake a pedophile

    OH SHIT! That's right! I forgot! Kendrick was doing the half time show! 😂

    Thank you for posting this! I gotta watch the half time show now!

  • They can read what the AI suggests and see if it is correct or not.

    What's this process look like? Or are there any rails that prevent the new employee from blinding trusting what the AI is suggesting?

  • Yeah, I've definitely grown to like TOML, especially after spending hours trying to edit a giant (nested) YAML file...

    I didn't realize the indentation in TOML was purely aesthetic.

    This

     toml
        
    [servers]
      [servers.alpha]
      ip = "10.0.0.1"
      dc = "eqdc10"
    
      [servers.beta]
      ip = "10.0.0.2"
      dc = "eqdc10"
    
      

    equals this

     toml
        
    [servers]
    [servers.alpha]
    ip = "10.0.0.1"
    dc = "eqdc10"
    
    [servers.beta]
    ip = "10.0.0.2"
    dc = "eqdc10"
    
      

    which equals this

     json
        
    {
      "servers": {
        "alpha": {
          "ip": "10.0.0.1",
          "dc": "eqdc10"
        },
        "beta": {
          "ip": "10.0.0.2",
          "dc": "eqdc10"
        }
      }
    }

    Don't do it

  • Ooooh, related: https://www.piki.nyc/

    Using Piki data, we find that while the like rate increases monotonically with artist popularity on Spotify, this does not hold true for superlike rates

    This company's product seems to be music recommendations. We need something like this, but open source and federated.

  • Being able to direct my own reccomender system, in order for it to be alligned with my goals and not with my addictive tendencies

    AGREE! There are options for controlling the data side of things, Lemmy, Mastodon, Jellyfin, torrents, but I've definitely noticed the recommendation side of things is basically non-existent. What I miss the most from Spotify or Netflix isn't the music or movies, it's the recommendations. There's a ton of content outside the megacorps, but we don't have a good way to find it.

    It would be awesome if we had an algorithm that we could control. We could tune it to whatever we want, instead of letting these giant megacorps shove their shit in front of us.

  • I like that Migadu gives you a ton of control over your email experience. You can create unlimited users, have unlimited domains, create unlimited aliases, sending identities, they have custom routing features, etc. The backend/management panel seems like it was made with techies in mind. The actual email users don't have to worry about any of those knobs though.

  • two guys running email?

    Is it? I can't tell from the about me. It says "In 2014, two of us, Michael Bruderer and Dejan Strbac, started...", but nothing else on the page talks about the size of the company. It started as two people, but is it currently two people? Anyone know?

    no 2FA support

    The webmail client does have 2FA, but when connecting via client there is no 2FA. Although, not sure what this would look like. Would you enter a TOTP every time you want to connect to the IMAP server? Or do you mean more like an OAuth2 flow, like Gmail, and that asks for your TOTP?

    I actually haven't gotten around to playing with purelymail. Not sure if they handle this differently. What service are you thinking about?

  • I only code in binary-encoded programming languages.
