Nabend liebe Gemeinde,
kennt sich hier jemand mit Passky aus (das kein Schreibfehler, das heißt so)? Kann man dem Passwortmanager vertrauen, ist die Softwarefirma in Ordnung?

Wer weiß, wo wir mit all den Zöllen, Vergeltungszöllen, Exportbeschränkungen, und dem gesamten Handelskrieg in ein paar Monaten enden werden und wie sich das auf die Supply-Chains auswirken wird.
Der Mist ist verdammt komplex. Ich denk da an das XKCD - nur halt auf Supply-Chain-Basis ...
Da hab ich mir gedacht, ich gönn mir vorsichtshalber jetzt gleich noch einen neuen Rechner. Oder: Wenn die Welt verrückt spielt, darf ich auch a bissl verrückt sein
Hier also mein neues Arbeits- und Spaßgerät - Leistung für die Arbeit und das Hobby
* CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X
* GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 5080 16G
* RAM: 128GB (4x32GB) RAM
* MB: MSI MPG X870E CARBON WIFI
Disks:
* Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD 4 TB M.2
* Seagate IronWolf Pro, 16 TB
(Da kommen noch welche aus dem alten Rechner dazu)
Gehäuse + Netzteil + CPU Kühler:
* be quiet! Dark Base PRO 901
* be quiet! Straight Power 12 1000W
* be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 5
Another one: Lynn Conway was a #Transgender woman who was a big-deal #computer circuit designer for IBM in the 1960’s until they fired her when she transitioned. She went stealth and made contributions at Xerox and DARPA, became an associate dean at the University of Michigan, retired, then re-outed herself.
Details:
Until you find that book, here’s something to get you started.
In broad strokes: Alan Turing, early #computer wiz, “helped fight Nazis with his big #gay brain” by building a computer to crack their codes during WWII, got busted for being #Queer in the 1950’s (and they seriously effed him up), then he was pardoned posthumously just about a decade ago.
Fahrt von Bielefeld (Mitte) zum Computermuseum Bielefeld (Senne)
ACME Labs e.V., Sonntag, 18. Mai um 12:50 MESZ
Am 18.5. radeln wir von den ACME Labs in Bielefeld Mitte zum Computermuseum Bielefeld in Senne. Alle sind eingeladen, einfach mitzuradeln oder zu versuchen, uns mit Stadtbahn und Bussen (s.u.) zu überholen!
Wann? Sonntag, 18. Mai 2025, 13:00 Uhr
Wo? Acme Labs, Mühlenstraße 5, 33607 Bielefeld (Nähe Ravensberger Park)
Die Hinfahrt dauert etwa eine Stunde bei gemächlichen Tempo. Nehmt ein Getränk und einen Snack mit! Ich fahre lieber Waldwege als Straße, also nehmt eher nicht ein Rennrad mit schmalen Reifen.
Bei schlechtem Wetter solltet ihr 10 Minuten früher zum Treffpunkt kommen. Evt. fahren dann einige oder alle mit Stadtbahn & Bus:
ab: 18.05.25, 12:52 Uhr: 14 Minuten (663m) Fußweg zur Haltestelle Krankenhaus Mitte
Stadtbahn 4 ➝ Bielefeld, Stieghorst
ab: 18.05.25, 13:06 2 Krankenhaus Mitte
an: 18.05.25, 13:15 1 Stieghorst
Bus 30 ➝ Bi-Heideblümchen
ab: 18.05.25, 13:22 D Stieghorst
an: 18.05.25, 13:40 Ehrenbergplatz
Bus 37 ➝ Bi-Eckardtsheim, Pontus

Pet Peeve:
I almost exclusively use a laptop. Sowhen I'm actually at a desktop machine and it has a full keyboard (read: Numeric Keypad) ... The NumLock Should Be On By Default, Goddamnit!!!

How can we make this, from @frog, famous?
"My standard for consent: pretend the thing I'm consenting to is being physically done by a person.
"It'd be super weird if I bought a used car & they asked me if they could follow me around.
"It'd be super weird for a stranger to ask to follow me around writing down the things I put in my grocery cart.
"If I called a taxi, it'd be super weird if the driver asked to look through my phone contacts & copy them down."
This is one of the best things I've ever read on the internet.
Seriously. You've formulated a fresh way of looking at ubiquitous internet surveillance — in a manner that cuts right through all the abstractions. Recasts the truly outrageous nature of what the techbros do to us daily, into basic human terms.
How can we make your insight famous? It deserves to lead off the next million discussions of this enormous problem.
TuxCon2025 is May 10-11 and you are welcome to join. This is free to participate Open Source Hardware and Software conference in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. This year we have guest lector from @seeedstudio Violet Su , the very first retro computer IMKO-1 will be present by Anton Orush https://olimex.wordpress.com/2025/04/16/tuxcon-2025-the-open-source-hardware-and-software-conference-in-plovdiv-is-on-may-10-11th/ #oshw #tuxcon #imko-1 #pravetz82 #retro #computer #free #event #foss
So why is Microsoft insisting on pushing out a feature it is very clear users just do not want? What is the point of it? It just does not make any sense. Recall makes no sense. It is one of rather many functions that Microsoft wants to force people into using.
Personally I also do not want Copilot on my computer and the idea that there can be a key on my keyboard that I can press that will enable by mistake it is not what I would think most people want.
I believe that there should be a very clear line between what is on your computer and what is in the cloud. Forcing people to log into a Microsoft online account to use their computer is crazy. Having people mistakenly enabling OneDrive is another disaster.
I guess this is all a great opportunity for Linux.
Linked is a super useful directory of many or most of the classic foundational Computer Science algorithms. No, there was no PID or Kalman Filter but those are a bit specialized. https://salas.com/2025/03/22/visual-focused-algorithms-cheat-sheet/#algorithms #computerscience #visual #explainer #computer-vision #searching #sorting #maps
Obviously all the Cool Kidz use second hand ThinkPads running Linux.
I'm after a cheap daily driver having always been in Mac (well also Asahi and the server this Social Media Conglomerate runs on).
Any tips or models to look out for? Ideally I want something less than £200. Well I say ideally, I can barely afford £200!
Anyway, help/advice appreciated.
