Do you hate #passwords as much as I do?
Can't we have public key #authentication everywhere? Like in my #email client?
Yes we can! Without #authkeys!
Because #tls supports not just #server side #certificates , but also the client can be verified.
My #dovecot now logs me in without a password […]

How much does a screenshot of some text weigh?

But not this one.
I wanted to store an article for future reference and it was a crazy 500kiB!

Do you like #emoji ? Those modern #hieroglyphics ?
Emoticons were fine, thak you.
Can we have a UTF variant that doesn't recognize emoji code points?
A lot of emojis are already covered by hieroglyphics, so it can be a learning experience at the same time. Some examples:

Does anyone here know #linux mount namespaces well?
I need to #ssh to an old phone supporting only #rsa but I don't want a huge #container .
When I override /etc/ssh_config in a namespace to add rsa, that file is not owned by root and ssh exits...
