  • after doctors made sure he wasn’t in a life-threatening condition, he was moved to the waiting room, where he sat for six hours before deciding to pack up and go home.

    I don’t know why they’re trying to spin it as a difference from the US system.

    I had the same exact experience in the US. multiple times. You go to the ER, for whatever reason, they look at you and, unless you’re literally bleeding to death you’re gonna be told to wait many many hours.

    So, I guess Canada is the same on this, but at least they won’t send you a huge bill to pay.







  • Exactly this: highly paid engineers are usually PHDs or otherwise researchers focusing on difficult problems. Their output can’t be measures in lines of code commits on github. Nevermind time spent mentoring younger engineers, reviewing pull requests, advising management, etc. Ask me how I know.

    That said … at my previous job for a while near the end they were paying me to do very little indeed. I was not happy. Eventually the company ran into trouble, laid a bunch of people off (including me) and now I’m a lot busier at my new job… also happier.

    Was this with podman or rootless docker?

    I also would like to switch to rootless, I have some experience with podman and, while I generally like it, it’s not 100% compatible with (rootful) docker, and can have performance issues if you’re not careful, especiallt with certain file systems like btrfs. I wonder if rootless docker is now better than podman, or preferred for some other reason.





  • I was finally able to find some technical detail on passkeys on FIDO website, and yeah, it actually looks like it’s a real improvement over passwords: it’s simple, uses proven technology (public/private keys), and should be much more secure than passwords.

    Also, nothing in the “specs” says I need to entrust my private key with the OS or a third party, which is good.

    That said, it seems some OS support is required nonetheless, to show the pin / biometrics prompt (or is it?), and on android at least, I’d need to buy a new device with Android 14 to use a non-Google passkey provider…


  • I use KeePassXC on desktop and Keepass2Android on, well, android, and sync via nextcloud. They all seem to handle syncing correctly, merging changes made on one side, or showing a notification about a conflict, and KeePassXC can definitely merge the two “conflicted copies” together reliably with a couple of clicks (yes, a no-click solution would be better, I know, but it’s not “manual”). Keepass2Android integrates directly with nextcloud and seems to handle it fine.

    The situation can definitely be improved but it’s not so bad for me. Also, two different people should probably use two different database files and not share passwords ;)

    Not sure how syncthing handles conflicts, it’s been many years since I tried it.


  • I use KeePassXC’s browser integration daily and it works pretty well with Firefox (linux), well enough that I’m not complaining, but I cannot compare it with Bitwarden cause I never used it. On Android I use Keepass2Android and works well with autofill, but again, I can’t really compare it.

    Something tells me Bitwarden works better, just by virtue of being a commercially supported product, but I have no complaints with KeePassXC & Keepass2Android (KeePassDX works well on android too). Original KeePass desktop client was never great though.
