Anyone out there have any opinions using pass vs keepass?
I've been using keepass for a while, but it's gui-ness doesn't quite mesh 100% with a lot of my workflow. I'm kind of reluctant to step out of the terminal go to a gui app, get a password, go back to the terminal, etc.

What blogs written by fediversians do you recommend?
(Preferably ones that are hosted on sites that do not funnel data to Google, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter).
Do dogs think it's weird we don't bite them back?
During play. Not like random dog biting.
The unreliability of FOSS project upgrades has provided the fuel for the container movement. The need to easily backup and restore and entire environment has become necessary because FOSS project upgrades are frequently broken.
Discuss. Or throw flaming tomatoes at me. Your call.

Today's Death by Tech post are my thoughts on the state of the consumer internet and what the future holds. My favourite passage:
"These days, a successful company is a parasite on the populace around it. It consumes resources and erodes infrastructure while striving to give as little of its money as possible back to the community. For some reason, America likes that. We know that because it awards these companies with trillion-dollar market caps."

This was a fun one to write. You remember Quora, right?

So I just read this sentence.
"Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell born December 18, 2001) is an American singer and songwriter."
Pirate. It says her name is pirate.
