+1 for NewsBlur. Its filtering is just plain awesome.

Now if it supported org files too…

There is no difference other than a shiny logo and a “contract” that promises you that the random stranger will take care. I promise that I will take care too.

If you still think there is a relevant difference, please tell me. To me, it looks like you don’t fully understand what a password manager stored on other people’s computers does.

A cloud password manager is a database with your passwords hosted on a stranger’s computer. Why wouldn’t I be just as trustworthy as any other stranger on the internet?

My questions are to those of you who self-host, firstly: why?

Would you give me your password database? I promise to encrypt it!

You can make embarrassing mistakes in virtually any programming language that’s not too esoteric.

When I still used Python for prototyping (today, I usually use Go for that), it happened much too often that I did this:

if foo:
    bar()
   foobar() # syntax error

In Lisp, however, both errors are much harder to make (not even considering GNU Emacs’s superb auto-indentation - which is what most Lispers use these days, as far as I know):

(when foo)  ;; <- obvious!
    (bar))

(when foo
    (bar)
          (foobar)  ;; <- still valid
(quux))  ;; <- also still valid

Dynamic typing is the source of very amazing errors, see JavaScript.

Feel free, it’s still out there!

I still write more Perl than Python these days.

Still easier to refactor than Python. ;-)

For all of those, Lisp is the more logical choice. Plus, whitespace as syntax is the worst possible design decision.

A viable alternative is Guix, which uses Scheme for its scripts and could also use the Hurd kernel instead of Linux, but works the same.

The reactions are shocked enough.

True.

SVN has become notably better over the past few years, but let me clarify that my comment was not meant as a reason to use SVN.

Not surprising me.

How is SVN “trash”?
