Weird #question: is there a way to use #passwords without knowing them?
For example: in an API to API communication I (hopefullu) need a password or token. Is there a way to let my application retrieve and use it, without be being able to know such password?
Or: I have a shared resource (e.g.: intranet page) that, for whatever reason, I cannot put under SSO. Can I let people access such resource with a password, without sharing it or even without letting them know it? #askFedi#FediHelp
@BlueDot
True. But point is: you, as builder of the service, will have to put the password in the code or somewhere.
What I wanted is that you also shall not know it. @oblomov
Today marks nine years since the last big OpenOffice update (4.1). If you're still using it, but want something more up-to-date, check out #LibreOffice! It was based on OpenOffice and is also free and open source, but with huge improvements and many fixes: https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/libreoffice/

Puntata vista, finalmente! Ottima.
Certo, io sono di parte, ho attivato SPiD da casa, a tutti i livelli, grazie al lettore e alla CNS. Ma sicuramente è un enorme e utilissimo servizio.
Probabilmente però all'italiano medio manca un pochino di cultura di base dell'informatica: tanti pensano che i computer siano delle scatole magiche o che so io... quindi non pensano neanche lontanamente ai problemi di privacy dei telefoni o alle password, ... @vbertola
I've just deleted my blog. As much as I really like the idea of keeping and maintaining a blog, I don't think I'll ever be that person unfortunately. For me, it just becomes an added stress, a commitment I'm unwilling to ever make. Sure, I could just post when I feel like it every few months or so (at best), but that kind of defeats the purpose.

I've felt the same. I'm far from a regular poster, but I still like my spare blogging: it helps me see the things I'm thinking of, it helps considering different things or, while writing, see things in a different way.
I even had (here, since I don't have a comment system) comments and replies from the few interested readers I have.
I've never thought someone might be interested in my thoughts and things I write, but still someone is reading, and this makes me happy.
