My understanding; ip adresses are considered personal information. You are allowed to store them in your log for security purposes, without consent (legitimate interest). But if you use that log for analytics, you need consent.


Are you sure about this? Parsing the logs stored for legitimate interest and then aggregating from that data for another purpose without storing PII seems to me like fair game.


You can't process personal data "for legitimate interest" per se. This is the biggest lie the adtech industry keeps telling themselves. The LI exception is that you can process personal data to do X with fewer restrictions, if you have a legitimate interest in X. For example, all companies have a legitimate interest in certain employee data e.g. legal names / tax identification. More complex, if you run an insurance company, you have some legitimate interest in a broad swath of your customer's demographic data.

The case for legitimate interest in parsing logs is extremely weak. There are situations where you could claim it but it still must be with a clear purpose. E.g. a Spanish company considering opening a branch in France might collect IPs to make a heatmap of where its French customers are. But they would not be able to use those IPs generally, to the extent e.g. they might be expected to delete the IP and only store aggregated by department.

You also said PII, not PD - note that some PII is sensitive data, which cannot be collected under LI provisions at all.

(This is not legal advice. If you think you can collect personal data with the LI exception, godspeed and I hope you have a good lawyer.)


I have a be trackball and a vertical mouse. Both expensive. Both without proper scroll.

Many trackwheels on are also slow at of you want to flick many pages down.

I rely mostly in keyboard.

This is why the Apple Magic Mouse is so great - it's essentially a phone surface instead of physical buttons.


This is specifically for military communication https://www.dencrypt.dk/


Nothing says secure like proprietary code maintained by some guy's privately owned limited liability corporation with 20 wageslaves labouring for him.


Where do you buy audio? I don't use apple (itunes) and only some stuff is on bandcamp...


Primarily bandcamp, since I can get flac and support artists directly. But I also use 7-digital for more mainstream releases (they also offer flac and some releases as Hi-Res 24-bit flac if that is your thing)


Mostly on Amazon. When possible on bandcamp.


Similar work profile, but: MS office is a huge pain to work with. 30 pages, 3 authors, comments, revi sions, deleted images, and it often crashs. And track changes doesn't work on tables (!)

Mind: LibreOffice is properly worse, but that doesn't change that MS office is abyssmall.


Me too. This is my third year with them I think. I believe there has been three downs. The worst was for almost a day IIRC.

I like mailfence for several reasons. Quick, at personal support is one important factor.

However I do think it would suit any provider if they publicized an annotated downtown log, so that we didn't have to guess how often or why they had issues.


Just use restructured text (rST) already.


No, asciidoctor! Asciidoctor is the most intuitive markup format there is (except maybe Pollen, but that’s a non starter for most people).

Also, rST can’t even do bold italics.


Yeah, the lack of nested formatting in rST is crazy. For me it's annoying I can't just do a simple monospace formatted link in pure rST. Sphinx helps a bit with that depending on what you want to link, but it's not really controllable at the rST level like it is in other markup.


Yes... I do like asciidoc. Think it was lack of easy toolchain in python ecosystem that made me move away from it.

Maybe asciidoc3 har improved the situation.

Never needed bold italics. :)


Nothing beats org-mode.


If only I could have it in any other way than emacs...


Makes me wonder, since there is evil mode and opinionated Emacs disributions like Spacemacs und Doom Emacs, whether there is a potential for an org-mode focussed and optimized Emacs distribution.

Ease of use should be one of the core goals, then.


I would love that but then again org-noter and pdftools compliment base org-mode nicely.


Yeah, Org mode has supported footnotes since 2008:

Personally. Yes. Fdroid is a plus. And it's especially annoying seeing it abonded without any explanation.


I am not so clever and cryptography is hard. Why should I use age instead of regular gpg?


What did pcloud do?
