I bought a dozen of "Original USB Condom"s. If anyone is interested I sell some for 8€ + shipping (I'm no earning from this); I'm based in Italy.

My #thinkpad X220 doesn't power on if no AC is connected and, once powered, if I plug off the AC it shutdowns immediately even if the battery is fully charged. What can it be!? `tlp -b` shows all the statistics about the battery so I don't think it's faulty.

Yay! #Rust blog's posts are back in my @nextcloud News after my patch got merged https://github.com/rust-lang/blog.rust-lang.org/pull/588

Quite a few contributions to some external project this month 😉​ #opensource

An interesting research regarding the (mis)use of tracking apps to fight #covid19 https://www.adalovelaceinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Ada-Lovelace-Institute-Rapid-Evidence-Review-Exit-through-the-App-Store-April-2020-1.pdf #coronavirus #privacy

If my registrar doesn't support #DNSSEC, is #Cloudflare my only alternative? 😕​

Mmm... how do I know if my #linux box does require the linux-firmware package? `dmesg | grep -i firmware` returns nothing...

In the specific case, I've a #BeagleBone Black with just 2GB and the linux-firmware takes more than 500MB...

I got #pihole running on #alpine! 🎉​

#motionEyeOS is a #Linux distribution that turns a single-board computer into a video surveillance system. The OS is based on BuildRoot and uses motion as a backend and #motionEye for the frontend.

I'm really concerned about professors, lawers and any non-IT professional working from home these days... I mean, they are going to access ANY website someone tells them to access. Even generation z isn't so smart to spot the difference between a legit website and a bad one...

I never liked utilities written in #NodeJS, but since #rust and #go exists, I quit a website as soon as I see `npm` is mentioned.

Enjoy arch-audit 0.1.12 with coloured output! #archlinux

Thanks to @dataKnightmare to let me know that USB-C chargers are apparently more powerful than Apollo 11’s computer: https://forrestheller.com/Apollo-11-Computer-vs-USB-C-chargers.html

This if f*cking crazy!

TIL: you can open your browser to read markdown files:

$ qutebrowser "data:text/html;base64,$(markdown README.md | base64)"

Or just use `glow` to render them in your #cli.

@sir I setup an acpid action to disable my laptop screen when I connect it to the dock station. I'm using this command (acpid runs as root) to disable it:

```
runuser -l andrea -c 'SWAYSOCK=/run/user/$(id -u)/sway-ipc.$(id -u).$(pidof sway).sock swaymsg "output LVDS-1 disable"'
```

Is this evil? If not, I'll write a post about this.
