To be honest: This sounds like just another of the many many other yoga/spiritual cults that currently exist all over the western world.

EDIT: typos and slight wording changes

erdii··on Bitwarden introduces mandatory 2FA for new devices
Be careful about using newer clients with an outdated version of the vaultwarden server.

I lost a couple days of new accounts/passwords because this[1] probably happened.

erdii··on Rust for Filesystems
In this specific case complaining about "politics" gets the sour by-taste of enabling (or at least not condoning) harrasment to the point of single folks taking their own lifes over it.

Why?! Even if you're not sure what to think about the queer movement; even if you have already made up your mind about the queer movement and oppose their ideas or some of them; I refuse to believe that any single person would not want to stop someone from bullying someone else into their own suicide!

hastily jotted rant for the folks who'd like to complain about "politics" from creeping into every discussion everywhere:

It's really sad to see so many folks disconnecting and immediately dismissing whole groups of other folks as soon as they start complaining about an issue they have because of "politics". :(

I get that you don't want to get involved in shit flinging shows and that its tedious to figure out who's in the right and who's in the wrong. Especially because there are never clear answers. If you feel like this and then proceed to complain about 'politics' creeping everywhere, please beware of this:

Pretending to be apolitical doesn't work most of the time, as politics is basically another word for "acting (or deliberately not-acting) in some kind of public sphere" which you all do, and when the "policitics" have arrived at a topic, then they'll stay there at least in that specific case you are witnessing! You just are part of a hyperconnected and confusing world with a lot of conflict, wether you like it or not.

Pretending to be apolitical also serves the upholding of whatever status quo is currently in place because anything that has even a slight chance of changing anything is inherently a political topic.

Please don't turn your heads on "political" topics or, at least, don't complain about it in that way as it mostly enables unjust behaviour to continue. It doesn't even matter if it's the person who brought up the "political" stuff who is acting unjust or the folks they're complaining about). In both cases it's probably better to either avoid commenting at all or to convey your critical thoughts to that "political" conversation.

If you want go, there is a magic-wormhole implementation called wormhole-william [1].

Rymdport [2] is a decent cross-platform app using it.

erdii··on Wilhelm Reich on pleasure and the genesis of anxiety (2021)
Jessica Benjamin and her book "The Bonds of Love" really struck a chord with me. I believe that her concept "gender polarity" fundamentally underlies old and modern "gender wars".

Other books and authors I found really interesting:

- Estela Welldon and her Book "Mother, Madonna, Whore"

- Sándor Ferenczi, who was a close associate of Freud and pioneered the concept of "Identification with the Aggressor", which seems to be the driving force behind what we call "transgenerational inheritance" of trauma. His concept of the "confusion of tongues" between child and pathological adult is also very interesting!

- Mathias Hirsch, a german psychoanalyst who wrote a lot about trauma, love, sexual abuse and was not afraid to explore stigmatized topics. For example:

  - the effects of sexual relations between analysts and their patients (he saw parallels to incestous abuse in a parent-child relationship)
  - sexually abusive mothers and the idealization of motherhood
  - the fact that his pyschoanalyst Günther Ammon, who later became his boss at the Deutsche Akademie für Psychoanalyse, controlled the academy in a cult-like fashion

erdii··on Preparing Rustls for Wider Adoption
Hey @dochtmann :)

Isn't rustls [1] also built on very unsafe groundwork? Namely ring [2], which, according to github, contains 47.3% Assembly and some C as well.

I'm not trolling here - we were discussing this a lot in my peer group lately.

erdii··on Automattic invests in Matrix
Alrighty, thanks for your answer :)

That is really a tough UX problem... Maybe a room could have a "sensitive content" flag that is enabled by default for one-on-one chats and can be manually enabled for group chats.

erdii··on Automattic invests in Matrix
Wait... Naive question: shouldn't you, especially in this case, still nag the account owner about his own unverified sessions? What if a bad-actor homeserver slides in a new session to snoop around?

BTW: I absolutely love the cross-signing move and riot/matrix in general! :) Thanks for your great work on this!

It is even easier: https://github.com/mholt/certmagic

Edit: Taken from certmagic docs

Instead of:

// plaintext HTTP, gross

http.ListenAndServe(":80", mux)

Use CertMagic:

// encrypted HTTPS with HTTP->HTTPS redirects - yay!

certmagic.HTTPS([]string{"example.com"}, mux)
