This looks really good. As a happy ergodox-ez user of a few years, I would buy one of these in a heartbeat.

There is a firefox extension for viewing gopher sites - it uses this proxy https://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/

What if Facebook wanted to open up parts of the site for users without an account, would that require a major reengineering? I've wondered why Facebook (and Instagram) are so strict about not showing anything to logged-out users, could technical reasons be part of that decision?

I think this currently exists in some shape or other, I don’t have a facebook account but I can click on profiles of businesses and get their opening hours and pictures of their menus or whatever. In think there must be some stuff with a public context.

Is anyone using Ghost and unhappy with it or moving away from it?

I recently set up a blog (a pretty private, small scale travel diary to share with close family as I don't use social media) and did some research before I chose something. With no desire for a newsletter or monetisation or SEO or any of those features I still found the experience of spinning up a Ghost containter[1] got me from 0 to a really good and featureful blog.

The composer works well out of the box on a phone, the defaults are fairly sane, and the selection of out of the box themes is pretty well thought out.

In the past I've used Hugo or other static generators for this kind of thing. That's been far more work for a less user friendly result and the mobile workflow for posting isn't very kind even on a tablet.

I realise it is separate to the weak key prime discovery, but it is interesting how much slow SSH login times are a thread that is worth pulling for one reason or another.

No, you can click on "I'll do it later" to bypass it.

I think this is region dependent

Doesn’t the Roku software spy on you and don’t they track what you are watching?

My pi hole's top blocked domain by some margin is is scribe.logs.roku.com, who knows what else it might be blocking or missing in addition to this.

Yesterday a friend remarked to me she had lost a recipe for something or other and I resolved to start recording some I use, I was thinking of something like MD/Obsidian but this looks really good.

Great to have the iOS app, an easily convertable human readable and writable format and hang on to your own data.

Going to give this a good look over today. Might think about an Obsidian plugin as well.
