hey @justamoment ! Is vector-pass open sourced or open to collaboration somehow?

I'd like to use it and perhaps replace BitWarden but I'd prefer to have passphrases rather than passwords like `ijf7wY6B8ykd7Jid7` since phrases are easier to type

Switching from 2022 to 2023 broke a few things on the weekly processing for FitBot (ISO weeks FTW).
Yes, I had a few months to prepare for it, but you know... The end of the year suddenly came.

After finally finding some time to code, I could fix many things that needed to be redesigned. And a lot of refactoring is needed. Perhaps a few Unit testing would be helpful, since simulating records in the past is always tricky.

How has the microblogging improved your life?

I'd like to know more numbers for techs like GPS/Navigation, Twitter, TikTok, AI/ML based assistants. Decisions taken based on ML. Wearables. Medicine. Encryption. % of population with a mobile device and Internet access.
It's going so fast that we can't remember how to live w/o those technologies, anymore.
As a tech designer is exciting. As a world citizen... Well, a bit overwhelming, but with hope that all that tech won't make us consumerists.

!What 1 programmer can do in 1 month, 2 programmers can do in 2 months - Fred Brooks

Christmas season is over, so let's get back to my summer avatar...

Wait! It's still cold here 🥶

Today it has been difficult to focus on designing the course/book for Unity, C# and Poker.

There are many moving parts that I have to settle as learning objectives, that I'm a bit overwhelmed. I simplified the game a lot, yet not enough it seems. That's when I recall phrases like "The hard things about hard things"

Also, Unity is too visual to be taught by a book. At the same time I want to write a book about a topic I like 🤔
A reference is "Head first C#", which I used to learn C# in 2008, so I think it's feasible to a certain extent.

Thank you to that unknown hero who fixed the horizontal issue on mobile devices for twtxt.net

Take a taco 🌮

Since I'm again collecting dozens of links to read later in my Telegram Notes, I'll try a different approach.

I'll be saving those to Markdown files on Obsidian, and then I'll upload them to my web. Instead of opening any social service or "forum" like Hacker News looking for new stuff to read, I'll check that list before.
Let's see how it works.

I am sharing it here in case it's interesting to you:
https://eapl.mx/links/

And I'm watching that my grammar is awful in the last twts... 😅

I guess I'll have dinner first and then I'll switch off the phone for a while.

Enjoy over there!

But I think I'm too deep into controversial topics.
I guess I'll switch to more mundane topics for a while.

I watched Willow, a fun movie from the 80s. And finished recording a class about DRM and Piracy... Interesting Saturday here. How is going yours?

I was listening to a conversation about "fake it until you make it", based on the Theranos case. It's in Spanish, so it wouldn't be useful to be shared here, but the topic made think.

The idea topic is, don't lie. It's unsustainable. Avoid distorsion fields and "validation circles" when you trust what someone else trusted. Yeah, we have to manage the truth, and we have to know when someone is lying to us (pretty hard in some circles). It's not as easy as "never lie", so many due diligence on our beliefs is needed, even with risk of discovering the truth.

Reading that book about the Telegraph made me thing A LOT on the history of technology. Another book about history of power made me think on our short lifetime of, let's say 50 productive years, how much we can impact in society from what we currently are, to the future of society in 100 years.

Action and thinking... Progress, quality of life, a better world for our families, resources. Transcendence. These are things that have moved a lot of people for the last centuries.

I think the current life speed is faster than it should, but I guess that depends on our reference point.

👀 Another book to read this year

>How has the Internet changed your life? For better and for worse

For some reason I couldn't sleep tonight (I think that strong coffee ☕ at dinner was a bad idea)

Anyway, it was a nice opportunity to settle my ideas for this year. After a few days of vacations, I could define more easily what to aim for, what to work for. My references are the Maslow's hierarchy of needs and Hierarchy of Hapiness as insights on things I might be overlooking. Like social relationships, relationship with money, belongings, impact with creativity, altruism, a learning path and so on.
My main realization (perhaps obvious but what can I say...) is that statistically I have about 30 years more of productive life. There is no rush, but at the same time I need those challenges to live a tasty present.

I'm grateful that this has been a pretty decent life, which is transforming into something new (damn mid-30s crisis). As they say, the best things are yet to come. Or at least, new challenges to overcome. And that's the tasty part of life.

I'm having a few discussions with my Latin artist friends on Stable diffusion, automation disappearing jobs, inner fears, and such.

Rather than wasting time on social media, my idea is to learn, to get to a knowledge level of a 'better life' (whatever that is), or at least exercise a dialogue and perhaps a debate. Since everyone is discussing different reasons and motivations, this is a phrase I like to remind before the talk gets violent.

> Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply. They're either speaking or preparing to speak. They're filtering everything through their own paradigms, reading their autobiography into other people's lives.

It's exciting to spend time discussing with strangers and with friends, which has happened for ages, even before the **Internet** TM. With due moderation is a good hobby, but that's the tricky part. Not getting engaged with an ideology showing our own weaknesses disguised as knowledge and beliefs.

This week has been crazy with the Workshop to design Board Games.

My thesis was on digital/electronic voting (about 10 years ago)

There is an interesting problem there: How could you replace the paper ballots with a digital device? You'll find a few benefits like a fast counting and transmitting the data without moving the ballot box to a central place.

The disadvantage is assuring the secrecy and freedom when you are voting. It's easy with an inert paper, extremely difficult with an electronic device. How could you be sure the vote is correct if it's secert?

I found an interesting proposal (I have to read it deeply) on how to fix this problem that has been 'looking for a solution' for decades:

And lastly, I'm researching to install Piwigo in the server as an alternative to Google Photos which has been really convenient for the last 10 years, but we all know the privacy concerns.

Do you have another alternative to Google Photos? I'm looking for:

- I remove most of the photos from the phone, to check them with Google Photos App and sometimes with the Web site

Yesterday I had a conversation about reducing the amount of digital 'objects' we store and bytes used. For me, that's part of a Digital minimalism, but it seems that's not the mainstream definition, more related with the amount of time we use our devices. Interesting 🤔

Hehe, having used Win 3.11 I love the analogy.

Sign the time (in blocks of 30 seconds like with TOTPS) with your private key, so you have passwords valid for 30-90 seconds. Allow at most 10 attempts every 30 seconds. Obviously, the server checks a valid signature with your registered public key.
For this, you can use an extension for your password manager as you are already doing to manage your static passwords + your TOTPs.

Similar to what Yubikey originally did. There are many weak points like Man in the middle, and phishing, and possible attacks over a known message, that were solved with WebAuthn, but it's a nice exercise to think about.

Today I was looking for a 'Random Group Generator' for my class, and found this interesting claim

```This Random List Generator uses an advanced algorithm to split a catalog of entries into the required number of teams or groups. The high-grade artificial intelligence allows it to convey a unique, exclusive, and unbiased result.```

@eaplmx

Today I was playing a bit with 'useless stuff' like Client Certificates, S/MIME email encryption, email certificates, passwordless ideas, and static web generators.

Aaaand also learning Ruby with the fantastic series of books Head First (I learned C#, I think, in 2008)

Was a nice Tuesday, he

Writing on paper, and typing on the computer or the phone at the speed of speaking has been appealing for me although I came in a generation where that is not important anymore... You can use an AI to transcript voice to text, and such.

That said, I've been researching as a hobby on the old 'trends' like http://www.fordshorthand.com for handwriting, and http://opsahl.github.io/yash/ when you use a keyboard

Stay tuned...

Today I found on HackerNews a federated 'Reddit' 🤔

Oh no! twtxt.net is down! Where can I complain about it?

In news you already knew, Stack Overflow is amazing. Instead of reinventing the wheel with trigonometry for half of an hour trying to remember random stuff from college, you can try one of the multiple solutions in a few minutes.

The tricky part is in naming what you are trying to find, ha!

A quick example of what I was trying to achieve today:

I'm thinking of starting (another) Side project / Hobby project. Also, I've been writing about my projects (mostly games) in the last few years. For me, it's a source of learning, validation and portfolio, but I have bitter-sweet feelings on the results.

I have mixed feelings, since when it's a Hobby project is not a big deal leaving it 'incomplete', without users, and such. But as a Side project which could at least earn some bucks to pay the expenses, there is some pain in not having traction as a product.

Any general advice?

Hey everyone!

I'm making a simple bot to record my weekly exercise in a Fake League like Duolingo does. If you want to try it, and share some feedback with me, join here:

On Mastodon and Podcasts (in Spanish) there was a discussion about consuming blogs on RSS. Besides podcasting, RSS has been dead for me, or at least I've had many years without actively using it.

Today for research purposes I opened The Old Reader with my account of 2010 and it was a blast of nostalgia, old blogs, content creators and even relatives sharing their content about 12 years ago... #https://twtxt.net/search?tag=dontTryThisAtHome>

What Web browser are you using currently?

Over here my main one has been Brave (after ditching Opera for not supporting the chrome's Dark Mode). But lately, I've been using a bit more Edge, Firefox, Libre Wolf on Windows 10, and Firefox Nightly on Android

Aaaand, I'm learning to replace the kitchen faucet, since it's leaking, and looks like it can't be fixed...

I'm gamifying my weekly exercise (since I'm lazy), with a League system inspired by Duolingo's.

I'm thinking of operating a 'twtxt . es' pod (for content in spanish/español)

It's gonna cost something like 100 USD/year (domain + hosting), nothing excessive, but I have some weird feeling about paying on stuff not being used that much. Thoughts?

I have used Windows OS for almost 30 years. I don't dislike it that much. (And I use Android, iOS, macOS, -buntus, Debian, etc, at the same time)

But this week, I wanted to log in and I couldn't use my PIN or Fingerprint for unknown reasons, and since I wasn't using my password I forgot it. Damn, those strange cases where things don't work as expected.

I can't recall if I've shared this here, but has been the topic of the week

How and why are we owners? And what 'isms' do we follow to have the life we expect?
https://text.eapl.mx/quick-ideas-about-isms-and-ownership

I think this image summarizes my interactions with friends and other companies this week

I wrote a few ideas on avoiding 'old fashioned' passwords and using something more convenient and secure

Promoting the use of dynamic passwords

A quote that made me think a lot this morning:

> Why are many talented software developers drawn to solving impossible problems, drinking unhealthy amounts of coffee, neglecting their sleep and personal lives, and constantly trying to fix everything and everyone around them while ignoring their own psychosocial needs?

After a few days, I finally finished a toy project for automated learning (with a really simple neural network) to teach the bots to play a very simple version of poker with 8 cards

What a week... Trying to make money with Art, Design and Code has been challenging

How is your week going over there?

Suddenly stopped using a few services I enjoyed for whole months. Gemini Antenna, 1 second everyday, twtxt.net, donelist.today

Weird

I think I have too many micro-blogging services now...

I've been tweeting a lot in Spanish, but had forgotten of writing here :o

Don't have anything cool to share, rather than saying I'm alive and family is doing fine.

For a few years, I've been thinking about writing a book (in Spanish to start).

Now I'm starting to write one on how to create a Poker Texas Hold 'em on Unity and C#...
Let's see how it goes for this 1st experiment

After a few days travelling around the Centre of México, I'm finally at a calm place to relax and enjoy the holidays.

It's interesting being for a few hours on planes and buses to feel bored, and let your imagination fly again.

This Friday I had the chance to change the routine a bit. My wife and I watched "Mary and the Witch's Flower", it really connected with my mood.
(Possible spoilers ahead) ~~It's a cute one, with good animation, a decent story and that bittersweet feeling of innocence and growth.~~
(End of spoilers)

Also, reading a few books in English and Spanish, including "Information Doesn't Want to Be Free". It makes you think a lot about the services and products we use and consume (like that movie I mentioned).

Morning everyone... It has been been a not so great week over here, but it's Friday, so I'll be saving this comic for tonight (if I survive)

In local news you don't care about, a pigeon stepped on an electricity line, something exploded (including the pigeon) and I don't have electricity at home. It makes you think a lot...

Hello everyone, I'm back on sharing cool stuff on the shape of twts, after a Monday lasting 3 days.

Cheers 🍻! <- Non-alcoholic drink, since someone said on Hckrnws it's bad for our hearts

Enough trolling for today, enjoy your weekend my friends!

Hello @james ! 👋😀

Sunday morning over here.

Started hating the polarized ideas on Twitter (gosh, I was likening and using it again for the value of game dec, and then the wave of hate, ideology and politics arrived).

Then I came back to read a few books, and next I was checking that my Yarn timeline was very active. Looks like a nice morning.

Well... Friday of learning new stuff on Unity and Rust, I was forgetting what it was like to take courses for hours and be stuck. Rust, you freaking lang.
The training on Unity is going great, with small lessons of 15 minutes you feel you are doing/learning a lot, the kind of course I like.

Aaahrgh, if I type Enter (New line) on my mobile phone, all my twt text is erased. I'm outta here! #https://twtxt.net/search?tag=breakfastModeOn>

These days the 'microscandal' for Jodorowsky's "Dune" bible happened. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/amansethi/spicedao-dunedao-soby

It's really interesting to me how technology like crypto (whatever that means), Non-Fungible Tokens, public/private keys, etc. etc. will redefine what we define as ownership. Mainly when the ownership of digital goods and working in an online world will be greater than the physical alternatives.

A poker hand quiz: Gives you a random hand of Texas and you have to estimate the odds

Implementation of a system (I forgot the name, and I think I've seen a web page doing that) that cryptographically splits a secret among X of Y holders: E.g. If 2 of 3 people put their part, the private key is revealed.

I like consistency, coherence, code style guides. But expecting that in a social channel is kind of impossible. At most is social engineering, but... No idea

Hey, found an example of Web auth with (Self signed) Client certificates,

Works on Win 10 with Edge and Firefox, couldn't make it work (yet) on Brave.

Interesting experiment, perhaps I'll implement it as a login method in some of my web projects (to keep achieving passwordless logins)

#https://twtxt.net/search?tag=devChronicles>
I was researching a few months ago on having Authentication for web based on Public/Private keys, like we do on SSH.
Sadly I haven't found some standard, only Webauth based on Hardware tokens (And some implementations for Mac and Win10) but more for 2FA.

Well, I tried using

and

and got a lot of Go and Python errors, which I don't have time to check today... 🤔

Reading a lot this morning, "Morning and Sense" and "You are not so smart" to start, a quick reminder that you are not thinking like 99.99% (number not accurate) of the world.

Day 2 learning #Rust

I finished a Guessing game, which is very similar to an exercise to learn QBasic in 1993 (?) ha!

Nice memories by the way...

Ha, I found someone in Australia with the same area code than me, that casually is the same of my biz partner in USA

1 in 999 perhaps 😉

#biasOfTheDay

Now... I'm starting to learn Rust with the famous book:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book

Interesting language! Let's see how it goes :)

I was rereading a few old books in my Kindle, and reached to one about Gamification.

Although I'm not a big fan of gamified experiences and serious games as I was a few years ago, it always makes me wonder on how effective they could be for simple ideas.

For example I was thinking on registering your current run on a treadmill or elliptical in a twtxt file (or any Yarn service), reading it and unfolding a passive story based on your distance.
Or maybe exchanging those Km/Miles into some resource in a micro game.

The 'final' idea is to motivate you to do more excersise, which is a long discussion.

Wow!, today Antenna had nice surprises and inspiring projects...
