In Italian we have "bistecca", which is a slab of red meat, not only from beef but also from pork.

I would use it if they provide a way to "lock" local installation or to make it portable: I want to use it in my office PC, which can be accessed by lots of people...

Yes, for the casual internet users like my parents. I rather have my passwords stored in an encrypted container with a password I'm sure it's not linked to something I have online.

It's really that difficult to use KeePass? It's offline, cross-platform, with password generation, secure session for entering the master password, could type passwords without using the clipboard and if you want to sync you can save the encrypted db on dropbox, git or wherever yout want.

The only problem I see is when I need a password but I can't access database, which is almost never since Keepass has a port for Android. But in those (few) cases I can write down a few notes which I can use to create a not easy to guess password for that specific use case.

Try Slackware, you'll feel at home.

I make flying simulator for the military, pilots use my software to learn how to fly with a Panavia Tornado.

I know how hard they train, how much they know and how hard it is to crash. I know a plane can land gracefully by itself, that there are at least three redundant navigation systems and at least two landing system, and that on a civil plane all these systems are duplicated because there is more space to put them. I know a plane can land with only one engine, and in some cases with no engines at all.

I know that when I fly I'm one inch to certain death, but I also know that that's an inch I'm very hardly going to cross.

I know all this but sometimes I'm anxious too. I guess it's normal, I just have to think rationaly or not think at all with a book or a good sleep.

In Italy it's fairly common to live with parents until you find a partner. Housing prices are really high, income is low and having an housemate without romantic engagement is not a common practice, unless you're studying in another city.

IE, I'm almost 30 and I've been living alone for 2 years only because I found a decent medium-pay stable job 3.5 years ago, and the apartment I live in is rented by a friend who asks very little money. All of my friends who are single like me live with their parents, and only a few of those who are engaged live with their partners.

IMHO it should be more integrated with tasks, and tasks should be much more powerful. Some examples:

- Here in Italy I can donate blood every 3 months. So I want to set a task "Now you can donate blood" on say June 1st and set it to repeat itself 3 months after the day I actually donate blood and in the meantime being shown on top of calendar in a special "to-do" section. And if I donate blood on June 5th, the next donation should be automatically set on September 5th. I achieve this with an external app that syncs to tasks, but being it integrated in calender would be wonderful.

- A task can have more dates to be set. An example is taxes: from April 1st I can review the documentation the governament send me, from May 1st I can submit the correct documents and at May 31st I must have submited the documents. Of course during this period the task should always be visibile on my calendar.

Thing is I have the feeling that todo lists, calendars, tasks and time-tracking should ALL be integrated in the same software. And as far as I know this software is emacs' org-mode... one day I will learn it.

> And they have gone to vote in unusually high numbers ( 73%, never seen before! ).

In 2013 we reached 75% and in 2008 80% (http://www.ilsole24ore.com/speciali/2018/elezioni/risultati/...), so it was seen before. Still, given this election was one day only, it's an impressive result.

Not the same thing, but I found Minetest (https://www.minetest.net/) a very good opensource alternative.

Thanks!

Reading the Bible is what have pushed me away from religion: when you're endoctrined you're only given the "good parts"...

No, he's saying that most valleys are above 4K, but some other valleys are below sea level.

But I also think he's wrong: as said in http://www.netstate.com/states/geography/mapcom/nv_mapscom.h..., I quote "[...] but the lowest point in Nevada is actually only 479 feet above sea level at the Colorado River at the southern end of the state." .

Actually, bitcoin is anonymous: no information links an account to his owner. However it's true that the owner of a specific account could be guessed with a good amount of precision going through all transactions history and pairing the data with those of bitcoin exchanges.

I'm trying to build it on my Slackware just for nostalgia.

That is what I use, tab for indentation (left-most chars of the line), space for alignment.

This what, regardless the editor, the indentation is always correct and the alignment all the same, the code simply slides left or right depending on the tab-size of the editor.

Nope, not in Italy. Here with 3G you can barely load google on mobile (at least, that is my case). If I don't see an H+ on my phone I don't even bother to try going online.

> What you see is what you get, wherever you open it, wherever you print it, that is huge.

Not really, it depends on the PDF software. I have printed the same bill with SumatraPDF, Acrobat Reader X and Acrobat Reader DC: different fonts, different sizes and missing logos...

Working in a fully offline environment, I have git repository with only documentation for everything I may need. In this situation, a cheat sheet or a searchable doc can save my day.

I was an happy owner of a Kindle Keyboard, on which I could easily manage my collections with Calibre and go on reading four hours a day for a month without recharging.

With paperwhite (first gen) I got roughly two weeks of charge even with lowest brightness because I can't turn the lights off, and for using Calibre I had to crack my Kindle and keep it offline or it would upgrade itself...

So whatever this update does, it's a NO-GO for me.

Slackware Linux maybe is not mainstream, but is a huge distro...

Shame, it's my go-to app for tracking my walks... It's lite and get its job done.

An encfs folder in my dropbox. The password for that encfs is in the same dropbox, inside a Keepass2 database.

I've been using Arch for two years before going back to Slackware. It was a good run, Arch is fun and easy to use and everything works very, very well. On the same laptop is even faster than Slackware (I did not run any test, it was just my perception after a fresh install... maybe because Arch has way less packages...).

BUT Arch brokes often. Even when I look the news on the official website or search the forums for issues with recent updates, even when I check that everything is ok accordin to the (awesome, really awesome) docs, Arch brokes something.

I grew reluctant to run "pacman -Syu". Now with Slackware I am 100% sure that my system will always work after every update, and if it doesn't work is because a simple new dependency that I can install in a couple of minutes if I want, or I simply keep the already installed package without any issues whatsoever.

I'm using slackware (full install) with sbopkg and slackpkg+, and I needed to run a dependency check only once, when a package I already had installed from sbopkg had a new dependency. All other times (2 years) I haven't run in any issue with dependencies, not even once.

I'm building an android app for that in my spare time. Once it's ready, I'm planning to integrate it with Calendar somehow...

I don't have nothing useful nor interesting to say, but I was born and I live in Premariacco.

That's it.
