Ok, there's been an interesting development! Maybe I *don't* have #insomnia? Maybe my phone is fucking with me? Because it woke my ass up this morning exactly 4 hours after going to sleep and it's never done that before. And I've never heard this sound before.

But first, brewing another cup of sleepy tea because I am so exhausted right going on 4 hours of sleep over the past few days now I desperately need some sleep! #SleepAsAndroid
Edit: Just listened to all the other recordings right as I was waking up for the past 5 days. This sound is not recorded in any of the others so the mystery continues!

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

trevor (he/they)

A lot of incorrect assumptions in this article. If you don't like the idea of a key exchange over passwords, I hope you use password auth when you SSH into things 😁

The word passwordless is nonsense. In most cases, most passkey implementations, you need a PIN to unlock your private key to authenticate. PIN = password, except it's numbers only. Nonsense. Passkeys simply obfuscate the problem and move it somewhere else, most often into a PROPRIETARY key management tool. For example, Microsoft wants you to use THEIR authenticator app. Not just any app that adheres to the standard. Nope. This effectively means super-vendor-lock-in. Absolute nonsense.


You can argue that the term "password less" is nonsense, but there is literally nothing about the spec that prevents you from using passkeys as they were designed: with hardware keys that support the open FIDO2 authentication protocol. Yes, you still need a second factor to verify the authentication attempt (via a PIN), but unless you're mailing that key to hackers, the private key generated by your SoloKey, NitroKey, or another open source hardware key, is more secure than any password ever will be.

Passkeys usually require a phone - this is a single point of failure, and one that gives the big companies extra control over you. Phone, number, SIM, and so forth. A beautiful bevy of data. The whole idea of actually having to use your phone as an identity vector is horrible.


Phones support storing passkeys. Phones also support storing passwords. In no way does this mean you must use them for this. You can either use hardware keys, or you can use your favorite open source password manager to store passkeys where you should already be storing your passwords anyway.

You need "biometrics" to supposedly prove you're you to unlock your private key. Biometrics are a form of password, except you can't replace it, and it also gives yet more of your personal data to the big companies. More nonsense.


This is literally a direct contradiction of what the author said in their first bullet point. Use a PIN if you don't like using biometric auth.

The implementation of passkeys is fragmented, vendor-specific, and complicated. Only diehards who love technology can use this. The same kind of people who were "all in" when IoT/cloud crap came out, and now they see their smart homes slowly go offline as big vendors almost arbitrarily cut support for old gadgets and effectively kill products. Because cloud.


Most of this is actually a fair critique. The FIDO Alliance is still working on the spec, and I think they should require any implementation of passkeys to follow the spec to a tee without adding any kind of nonstandard bullshit to their authentication.

However, most advancements in tech begin with only appealing to enthusiasts and later become adopted by wider audiences. It doesn't make them bad that they aren't immediately popular with everyone.

Passkeys only solve one use case - phishing where the user inputs their password and MFA into a fake site.


I'm glad the author can at least recognize that there's at least one thing that passkeys solve that passwords can't. But it's not the only thing. When you enter a password on a site, you're hoping like hell that the service you're using hashes it and hashes it properly. When you authenticate with passkeys, you're sending the site a public key. This key will have way more entropy than any password will, so anyone trying to crack a hashed public key is in for a long, miserable time (obviously not impossible though). But even if they wasted their time doing that, it's a public key. Who cares?

Any service you use passkeys with instead of passwords won't put you in another leaked password database. ~~The public key just needs to be invalidated and~~ you can move on with your life.

I started to develop a minimal version of FosseryWeb 1-2 weeks ago, with the aim of Dillo and NetSurf compatibility, I just "finished" the site (in the sense that all articles and cheatsheets are available there).

In the beginning, it was a bit challenging to find ways to implement the planned design in a way that it isn't broken in the above mentioned browsers, but actually it was a fun challenge, it was a bit like a "don't use modern CSS features" challenge lol. I had to make some changes to the originally planned design to make it work, but hope you like it.

Besides the compatibility thing, I also made the site as lightweight as possible, by including only the necessary CSS styles for each page (mostly), and only include images where it's necessary (e.g. in a few cheatsheets).

fosseryweb-min.codeberg.page/

If you noticed a bug or have any recommendation, feel free to drop a comment.

I'm aware of some article/cheatsheet download issues mentioned on the Known issues section of the About page (fosseryweb-min.codeberg.page/a…), but I couldn't find a solution for those yet (some of those are browser-related, so I can't really do anything about them I guess). I could solve the Dillo issue by including Markdown files in zip, but even then, unzipping it is one extra step, so it wouldn't be any better than right clicking on the link imo.

ترس یا احترام؟


 ریشه‌های احترام به بزرگترها در فرهنگ ایرانی

در فرهنگ ایرانی، احترام به بزرگترها یکی از مهمترین اصولی است که از دوران کودکی به ما آموزش

داده می‌شود. این احترام معمولاً به دلیل تصور خردمندی، تجربه و آگاهی بزرگترها شکل می‌گیرد؛ این باور را داریم که سال‌ها زندگی و آزمون و خطا به آن‌ها فهم و دانش بیشتری داده است. اما آیا واقعیت اجتماعی نیز همین را نشان می‌دهد؟ اطراف خودمان بزرگترهای بی‌خرد و گاه ناتوان در

درک شرایط نوین کم نیستند. این تناقض به نوعی نشان می‌دهد که احترام به بزرگترها صرفاًً پذیرش بی‌چون و چرای گفتار و رفتار افرادی است که سن بیشتری نسبت به ما دارند. این باور تا جایی پیش می‌رود که تخطی از این اصل پیامدهایی مانند برچسب‌های مختلف خوردن یا حتی طرد شدن از بعضی جمع‌ها را در پی دارد.

حساسیت به موضوع احترام به بزرگترها در باور فرد ایرانی از کجا می‌آید؟ به باور من این حساسیت ریشه در ترس دارد. الگوهایی از پیشینیان در ما شکل گرفته که بزرگترها را نه موجوداتی محترم، که موجوداتی قدرتمند، سلطه‌جو و گاهی حتی ترسناک می‌دانیم. برای در امان ماندن از این ترس، ابزاری به نام احترام را پیدا کردیم. منظوراز این موجودات سلطه‌جو و قدرتمند، افرادی مانند

حاکمان،صاحب منصبان، کارفرماها یا معلمان مدرسه نیستند. منظور بزرگترهای جامعه‌ی کوچک خانواده است.

این کهن الگوها چگونه در ذهن و روان ما شکل گرفته‌اند؟ نگاهی به تاریخ و اساطیر ایرانی بیندازید.

الگوهای کهن ایرانی‌ پر از کشمکش‌های خانوادگی است. چه در داستان‌ها و چه در تاریخ.

گشتاسپ، شاه بزرگی که پسرش را به کام مرگ می‌فرستد؛ فریدونی که کمر به قتل دو فرزندش می‌بندد. فرزندانی که خود برادر کوچکشان را کشته‌اند. اردوان چهارم، شاه اشکانی نیز از این فرزندکشی بی‌نصیب نبود. شاه عباس صفوی چهار پسر خود را کشت تا مبادا فرصت خیانت داشته باشند. از این فرزندکشی‌ها در تاریخ ایران بسیار است. البته که تاریخ تنها زندگی بزرگان را نقل

می‌کند. اما بعید می‌دانم مردم عادی نیز از آن بی‌بهره بوده باشند. در زمان حال که بیبهره نیستند.

رومینا اشرفی دختر چهارده ساله‌ای که توسط پدرش ذبح شد را به خاطر دارید؟قتلی که توسط قانون هم حمایت شد و بدون مجازات باقی ماند. به مواردی مانند رومینا می‌گوییم قتل ناموسی، اما این هم تنها نوعی دیگر از فرزندکشی است. برای قتل بابک خرمدین، کارگردان ایرانی، توسط پدرش نیز انگیزه‌ی ناموسی وجود داشت؟ واقعیت این است که فرزندکشی در ایران متنوع و پیچیده‌ای

دارد و محدود به جنسیت خاصی هم نمی‌شود.

در بسیاری از خانواده‌های ایرانی، اقتدار والدین با کنترلی بی‌چون و چرا و حتی گاهی خشونت همراه است. فرزندان موجوداتی وابسته و ناتوان هستند که اغلب امکان دفاع از خود یا اعتراض ندارند. این شرایط زمینه را برای تداوم چرخه‌ای از ترس و سلطه فراهم کرده که از نسلی به نسل بعد هم منتقل می‌شود. ترسی که نامش احترام است.

اما سوال اساسی این است که آیا این ساختار و این فرهنگ می‌تواند تغییر کند؟ آیا می‌توان ازالگوی احترام بر پایه‌ی ترس به احترام بر پایه‌ی عشق و درک متقابل رسید؟

تغییر فرهنگی ممکن است با آموزش عشق بی‌قید و شرط به فرزندان ( چیزی که والدین ایرانی کمتر از آن استفاده می‌کنند.)، حذف خشونت از روابط خانوادگی و اصلاح قوانین حمایتی آغاز شود؛

پیش از همه‌ی این‌ها، ساختار خشونت‌آمیز خانواده‌ها باید به ساختاری برمبنای عشق و فرزندپروری تغییر کند. آن زمان می‌توانیم احترام را نه ابزاری برای ترس، بلکه ابزاری برای نشان دادن علاقه به کار ببریم. شاید بتوانیم چرخه‌ی خشونت را بشکنیم و نسلی شادتر و آزادتر بسازیم.

"Constitution" is nothing but set of rules written by ruling class,giving themselves permanent power over everyone with no opportunity for subjects to give any meaningful consent)

But atleast legal fictional "Habeas corpus" might provide some amount of protection,in some circumstances, when not every power wielding actor in society is not shamelessly & criminally ruthless

Its barest of bare minimum protection, but Kristi fails even there.

@[Flawed] Anarchist ⚑ I happen to believe our founding fathers actually had reasonable intentions with the Constitution, but there is a problem with any documents, 1st, it's only as good as it's enforcement, and when enforcement only goes along with the political whims of whomever is in power at the moment it's useless, second issue is that it's a document written in a fixed language, but the meaning of words drifts over time to the point where eventually the original intentions are lost. My view, there is nothing remotely constitutional at what happened on 1913, on Jekyll Island and yet here we are more than a century later still enslaved to a bunch of trillionaire globalist anti-humanist bastards. I don't see any hope for this country unless we do like Iceland did, through all the corrupt bankers in prison and create a national currency and start over.

News of the United States "NOTUS" self identifies as Nonpartisan but the journalist fellowship courses are led by writers from...
The Atlantic
Washington Post

The name is a little too cutesy and makes them appear anti-American, which they probably knew that already. It's doublespeak and not a great way to establish credibility.

But enjoy the fellowship!

alright lads the acura door is all back together and we have a working lock that matches the ignition key now. that is comfy.

the audio speaker i ordered should be here soon so i will have to pop that thing in when it gets here but that's easy. dealing with honda door handles and locks and actuators is a supreme pain in the ass requiring all kinds of awkward contortion inside the door. one of the more annoying components of hondas to work on.

Stalin: When describing their dialectical method, Marx and Engels usually refer to Hegel as the philosopher who formulated the main features of dialectics. This, however, does not mean that the dialectics of Marx and Engels is identical with the dialectics of Hegel. As a matter of fact, Marx and Engels took from the Hegelian dialectics only its "rational kernel," casting aside its Hegelian idealistic shell, and developed dialectics further so as to lend it a modern scientific form. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
  • Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
  • Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
  • Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
  • Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
  • Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
  • Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
  • Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
  • Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
  • Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
  • Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
  • Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
  • Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
  • Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
  • Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
  • Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
  • Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
  • Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
  • Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
  • Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
  • Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.

  • Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
  • Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
  • Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
  • Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
  • Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
  • Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
  • Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
  • Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.

Stalin: When describing their materialism, Marx and Engels usually refer to Feuerbach as the philosopher who restored materialism to its rights. This, however, does not mean that the materialism of Marx and Engels is identical with Feuerbach's materialism. As a matter of fact, Marx and Engels took from Feuerbach's materialism its "inner kernel," developed it into a scientific-philosophical theory of materialism and cast aside its idealistic and religious-ethical encumbrances. We know that Feuerbach, although he was fundamentally a materialist, objected to the name materialism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
