I have found gitit easy to use though not all that featureful. It uses git as a backing store and there is an apt package for it (apt install gitit).

- Comment on Social Insecurity: Billions of Social Security Number and Passwords 5 days ago:
www.ssa.gov/history/hfaq.html :
Q20: Are Social Security numbers reused after a person dies?
A: No. We do not reassign a Social Security number (SSN) after the number holder’s death. Even though we have issued over 453 million SSNs so far, and we assign about 5 and one-half million new numbers a year, the current numbering system will provide us with enough new numbers for several generations into the future with no changes in the numbering system.
- Comment on Social Insecurity: Billions of Social Security Number and Passwords 5 days ago:
If this is US social security numbers, they only have 9 digits so there can’t be billions of them.
- Comment on California’s New Bill Requires DOJ-Approved 3D Printers That Report on Themselves 6 days ago:
Thanks, yeah, my friends use Fusion 360. I don’t have a working Windows machine right now but maybe I can set something up or run under Wine.
Yeah right now what I want to do is duplicate a shower door guide which is a 3 inch plastic part with some specific grooves and a screw hole. It’s incredibly hard to find the right one online or tell that it’s right. Home Depot doesn’t even have that kind of thing in their store any more. I do at least have a reasonably intact one that I can measure with a caliper.
Yikes, a 28 minute video, but I guess I’ll watch it during some downtime at some point. Thanks again.

Hmm, ok, so much for that idea. I had hoped it wouldn’t depend much on ambient temperature and humidity. Thanks.
Do you recommend any FOSS CAD software for designing parts? I’ve played with OpenSCAD a bit and maybe that suffices, but I wonder what else there is.
- Comment on California’s New Bill Requires DOJ-Approved 3D Printers That Report on Themselves 1 week ago:
Thanks, that sounds good. I saw a Prusa review a while back that was positive, so that also weighs in favor. I will shop around.
- Comment on California’s New Bill Requires DOJ-Approved 3D Printers That Report on Themselves 1 week ago:
Thanks, yeah, I like the idea of an enclosed printer so that I can print outdoors and not get my living room full of fumes. Is that a reasonable thing to want to do?
- Comment on California’s New Bill Requires DOJ-Approved 3D Printers That Report on Themselves 1 week ago:
Oh boy, what’s a good not too expensive 3d printer to buy right now, preferably all FOSS? It hasn’t been on my short term shopping list but I figure if I’m ever likely to want one, better get it now. I remember the original RepRap. I think modern stuff is a lot better, but might have more closed source software.

- Comment on Whats the best way to clean up 15 years of stuff around the house? 1 week ago:
Rent a storage locker and get everything out of the house quickly. Throw out anything that you both feel ok letting go of, but don’t put much energy into decisions about stuff where you’re not sure. Just chuck it in storage immediately. Now you have an empty house and can move. You also have a monthly storage bill but that’s hopefully a lot less than the rent on the house, and you can take your time getting rid of stuff from storage, or even selling some of it on CL/ebay.

If butcher paper and Scotch tape worked for Kerouac, it can work for us.
- Comment on An open source repairable printer. 1 week ago:
This is an ink jet printer that used HP print head /ink cartridges… Fwiw, repairable impact printers have been around longer than computers. Think of old fashioned teleprinters. Noisy, but likely to survive the apocalypse.
- Comment on New nickel-iron battery charges in seconds, survives 12,000 cycles 1 week ago:
That’s doable right now pretty much, in that the cost of existing batteries is in proportion to the other stuff you’ll need.
- Comment on New nickel-iron battery charges in seconds, survives 12,000 cycles 1 week ago:
Home storage generally uses LFP which is around 170 WH/kg. 270 is NMC which is used in stuff like mobile phones where the trade offs are different.

- Comment on I had a random (probably dumb) idea: Given the whole Discord Drama going on, what if there was a Discord alternative, but in the style of Lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
I can’t understand what you’re asking. If you want server to server relays, that’s IRC that has been around since the previous millenium. Matrix also has something like that. If you want single independent servers, that’s regular chat rooms.

- Comment on This whistle fights fascists | How thousands of 3D-printed whistles are derailing ICE. 2 weeks ago:
Article isn’t paywalled for me. Headline is ok. 3d printing a whistle supposedly costs under 5 cents. OTOH, that type of plastic might be less safe to put in your mouth.

- Comment on This legendary Nokia phone is being brought back to life in 2026 2 weeks ago:
It’s new roma for the Nokia N8 if you still have one. It’s a 2010 phone so no idea if it has 5g or even 4g. Meh. I still have an N9 which is also unusable today because the 3g network here is gone.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Blokhin
Blokhin was selected for the position by Joseph Stalin in 1926 and led a company of executioners that performed and supervised numerous mass killings in the Soviet Union during Stalin’s reign, mostly during the Great Purge and Eastern Front of World War II.[1] Blokhin is recorded as having executed tens of thousands of prisoners by his own hand, including his killing of about 7,000 Polish prisoners of war during the Katyn massacre in spring 1940, making him the most prolific official executioner in recorded world history.[1][2][3] Blokhin was forced into retirement in 1953 after the death of Stalin and condemned during de-Stalinization shortly before his death in 1955.

Burner phone still tracks the person everywhere. Yeah it’s hard. Too bad 1-way pagers are near extinct now.
- Comment on Activist platform StopICE denies breach after alleged hack raises alarm 3 weeks ago:
Phone # seems like a scary thing to collect. Also, visiting the web site reveals an IP address, maybe also not good. Wonder if there’s a more anonymous way to get the alerts out, like if some larger sites sent out alert geolocations along with regular web pages.

Why were they collecting that info to begin with? Sounds like asking for trouble.

No it doesn’t, you want to be able to turn off JS while it is running, and that is now impossible. Noscript stops it from running in the first place and that breaks too many sites.
