  • I have noticed a greater number of IT infrastructure attacks after the European(-adjacent) wars started in 2022. Even where I live, which isn’t particularly close to where the action is happening.

    As for browser themselves, take a closer look at release notes and changelogs (for forks, go to upstream). Note the number and severity of addressed issues and update frequency.

    This is to what I was mostly referring. I don’t really care to look at Chromium’s release notes anymore since 2018 when I switched back to Firefox, so I’m probably missing a lot there. But I read every release notes from Firefox, and I haven’t seen much uptick in severity or number of addressed issues there. Maybe I’m not paying enough attention there either, or maybe they don’t have enough manpower or interest to fix/find severity issues. Or maybe they just don’t have them. 🙃

    But either way, it’s definitely a good idea to keep updated, on all your software packages! 🙂👍



  • Yeah, Tuta has only permanent aliases, so once you’ve created one of your 15 aliases or whatever, that’s a permanent reduction of available aliases. And Tuta has no email masks, like others have.

    And the searching is quite annoying, because they have zero knowledge of your data, so the searching needs to happen locally on the client. A consequence of the full encryption.

    Personally, I’m okay with less encryption in order to make the searching a more smooth experience. But they will never change that.





  • As with anything, breaking muscle memory takes a lot of will power, as well as time. 😅

    Take it from someone who went from regular QWERTY row-staggered keyboards to a split column-staggered keyboard with Colemak-DH. Went from 117 words per minute, to 20. It was brutal. Took me a few minutes to reply with simple sentences at work. Still not up to full speed a year later. But the ergonomics are worth it.

    Same with Helix IMO. It includes the kitchen sink, and the Selection Editing paradigm makes so much more sense to me compared to macros in *vim. Because it clicked immediately with me, it didn’t take long to get used to it. Been using it professionally and at home for about 2 years.
