A Feathered Friend @SomeEgrets@awoo.space

@makyo@snouts.online don't commit for a week then just commit the unfinished work wherever you're at with the message "misc updates"

@ticky anyway I actually kind of wondered what you're doing for a secure store for your recovery passwords. Because like, I was just thinking about this the other day and realised that keeping my primary passwords and recovery passwords in the same store is probably... not the greatest idea? Because now if I lose one, I've also lost the thing I'd recover it with?

Got any good recommendations for secondary storage to keep recovery passwords in?

@ticky my go-to for this is always to use enough english words to get a good number of bits of entropy, because that's... less daunting to read back if you ever have to use it.

I mean, I know that's not breaking new ground or anything, but it's a case where human-friendliness is weighted more heavily I think?

@ticky

@XerTheSquirrel @Nurbs if you get an IP power bar, you'll technically have an internet-connected amiga

@ArrBianca okay weird, I was looking for your OPL2 stuff and realised none of your recent toots have shown up like, at all. No cinnamon bread or anything. I dunno if this is some weird fediverse thing I'm missing, but blahhhhhhhhhhhh that kinda sucks

@Nurbs it's terrible, but I can't ditch it because twitter is my only regular everyday social connection to other humans D:

I've got such mixed feelings about that because it's a terrible site that caters to actual fascists but I've learned so much from all of the actually good people there (somehow) too

@Nurbs I guess that answers the question though

@Nurbs I mean, it wouldn't be my first choice anymore either, but I'm kinda stuck with it, because I can barely keep up with day to day bullshit, much less learn a whole new language and then migrate everything to it.

@Nurbs I know there are a few, but like, nobody else actually cares about this or will ever make it a priority so it's not like I'm gonna get time to research and test any of this

@Nurbs actually, this reminds me of a thing I wanted to tinker with - I've been splitting monolithic code off into independent units (ex. for sky brightness, cloud cover, weather, etc.)

It's still the original C code to interface with the sensor hardware because this isn't *officially* a to-do item, but I just slapped a dumb "periodically read out values" network interface on top of it for now.

Got a good lightweight httpd library I can plug into C that isn't obnoxious to use?

@Nurbs I mean

@Prof@snouts.online H*CK

@Nurbs okay but I'm *definitely* not a government drone though

I'm sorry if it's weird that I only remember masto exists like, once a week and then have to go back liking your stuff that's days old, I'm not trying to be weird about it, I'm just terrible at this site but still want to read your stuff

@Nurbs is that the one you brought over here that one time?

Even if I'm not an RF nerd like you, if I ever get a real laptop, I'm so tempted to get a good pentest wifi adapter (assuming the built in one doesn't do monitor mode or injection)

Also maybe a little SDR thing. I'll probably never be serious about it, but it's something I think would be a neat curiosity

@Nurbs I will eat all of the cheese for you I will make this sacrifice

@Nurbs uh oh
