Debian Users - Be aware the maintainer of the KeePassXC package for Debian has unilaterally decided to remove ALL features from it. You will need to switch to keepassxc-full to maintain capabilities once this lands outside of testing/sid.

@tuxwise @keepassxc why do you think it's rude and condescending?

The first thing Debian users should be looking at when something changes unexpectedly is the /usr/share/doc/<package>/NEWS.Debian.gz

That is the way breaking changes are communicated. Users of testing/unstable are expected to have apt-listchanges installed to see them automatically.

Stable release users should read the release notes.

People annoying upstream isn't something I can solve.

@tuxwise I took my time to reach the decision it went back and forth for a year, and the xz-utils thing eventually tilted things in favour of shipping as little code builtin as possible by default.

I do not believe however that there is a significant overlap between people who use Debian, keepaasxc, and people looking for a featureful password manager.

It just makes no sense to go with a local only password manager and then put gaping holes in it.

@tuxwise @RLetot @keepassxc I was just being courteous, signing in on my phone and giving a short reply while travelling.

The concern is that somebody leaves or somebody new comes and picks up a subsystem and eventually maintains it on their own because the others don't actually use it and then believe the subsystem expert. That's somewhat normal.

This opens the doors for malicious actors to appear and compromise less popular subsystems.

1/2

@tuxwise @RLetot @keepassxc Hence I did not want to expose new users to optional subsystem code by default. This seems a reasonable stance. It is what Debian users generally expect.

Sadly I could not do that without breaking some users existing functionality. I can add a debconf dialog on upgrades to tell you more explicitly.

I will have to think about how we can solve this better in the future for similar situations (upgraded get X, new gets Y), but this requires new apt features.

juliank,
@juliank@mastodon.social avatar

@tuxwise @RLetot @keepassxc We can also rename the existing package to KeePassXC-minimal and then remove the keepassxc package.

Then users will get a message from apt when doing install keepassxc that tells them it's provided by either.

But anyway I hope this longer explanation seems less rude to you, I had to sit down in the middle of a city trying to get it out on my phone.

Pro tip: Wearing a mask causes you to inhale some of your exhale again, so you can moisturise the air you breathe when flying at least a bit and prevent dry nose.

That said always best to bring a saline nasal spray.

I may have gotten scammed a bit, there was a mother with two children asking for food, so we got some food for them, but then she wanted to buy milk powder for babies but the kids could already walk, they seem too old for that? 1 unit costs 25€, crazy, she wanted 2.

I don't do well in these situations so I bought her one.

I wonder if there's some black market for baby milk or something though

I'm in Germany so of course I am taking trains that are scheduled to arrive 2 hours before my flight boarding, despite having fast lane security check and basically needing maybe 30 minutes to the gate.

But the key word is scheduled. It's easy to get an hour or two of delays if somebody jumps on the track , an ICE breaks down in front of you, or something

juliank,
@juliank@mastodon.social avatar

Seriously though our regional trains don't normally fail but the ICEs are a different story. This train route only runs the old "holiday" ICEs that connect Hamburg and/or Sylt down to Karlsruhe, and they break a lot.

Also you can't rely on them. As soon as they are 30 mins late arriving in Kassel or Frankfurt, they get rerouted via the fast track via Fulda instead of taking the slow rails via Marburg so stop is just cancelled.

The whole "illegals vote I'm US elections" discussion is funny as a German because here

  • everyone needs to register their home address with the city within a week or two of moving there, you are automatically "registered to vote" by this and assigned the closest place to vote when an election happens.
  • to vote, you need to present ID and it's checked against the people allowed to vote in that place.
juliank,
@juliank@mastodon.social avatar

@vorlon is it free anywhere? Here we gotta pay 37€ every 10 years for a new ID + cost of getting a biometric picture taken.

juliank,
@juliank@mastodon.social avatar

@vorlon I guess that's what unemployment benefits are for. The problem is if you don't manage to interact with the offices due to mental health or something and you don't get any and live off the street. Then not get any ID, then get in a police control, then get fined for not having an ID as it's mandatory etc pp

juliank,
@juliank@mastodon.social avatar

@vorlon Right I mean they could address that, then autoregister citizens to vote, and then require IDs to vote, and all problems are solved.

But I suppose that's redneck voter suppression because they don't want to get IDs because they don't want the democrats to spy on them or something.

I don't know y'all but I feel like maybe I should just start working at 7 instead of 9 and have 3 hour lunch breaks.

I'm having a lot of problems with sleeping and I think part of it is that I want to go to bed at 10pm but only have to be up at about 9am, and that inevitably results in me sleeping too long, and then increasingly being unable to fall asleep or sleep shifting later and I become tired.

Good News everyone.

I just found out I can control notification volume separately from incoming call notifications (phone ringing).

So now I will hear if someone calls me while still being blissfully unaware of notifications that don't make it to the watch (if I wear it)

This Wikipedia paragraph also could have been a Terry Pratchett paragraph. YMMV

@ikanreed @jeffowski I mean both involve plots about the people being systemically manipulated by the government using media. Their execution differs but to say there's no overlap is a bit extreme
