I love how bright bulbs have utterly perverted the spirit of agile development into something so horrible that people are memifying ignoring it rather than trying to fix it.

Repeat after me: If standup takes any more than a minute or two per person you're really really doing it wrong and it isn't standup anymore and needs to be staked, buried and the earth salted that it may never rise again.

For an act of socially immature but oh so satisfying passive aggressive resistance, leave a copy of the Agile Manifesto on your scrum master's desk :)

(Or, if you think they'd be receptive, talk to them about moving long form reporting to any other medium so stand-up can be a simple meeting where folks give blocked/not blocked status and, where blocked, resources are directed to help.

that's it.

Stand-ups where Mortimer from the Front End team gives a 30 minute treatise on why react is a horrible fit for your application ARE IN FACT NOT STAND-UPS.

They're just poorly run meetings in an agile trench coat.

Totally agree. Many people who keep using Chrome have a VERY outdated view of what Firefox can do. That's a shame, but it's unfortunately an aspect of human nature that negative impressions are SUPER hard to change.

I don't think that's always the case. 1Password started out as a personal password manager and only added the corporate/teams/families features later.

I blame the tinfoil hat infosec crowd for not understanding that the world they inhabit is not the same one Regular Users live in.

Is there risk in keeping all your passwords in one place, whether it's on your hardware or someone else's? hell yes! Is that risk stastically speaking ANYTHING LIKE the risk you take when you use 'pencil' for all your passwords because you can't be arsed to memorize anything more complex? OH HELL YES.

Sure, if you're defending against nation state level agressors, maybe using a password manager isn' the wisest choice, but for easily 99% of computer users, we're at the level of "keeping people from drooling on their shoes". So password managers are probably a GREAT idea.

Friends don't let friends run Chrome.

Yeah, I feel like this is one of those memes that just travevls like lightning because it's attractive to people.

IPv6 WAS crazy bad for a very long time, so I can kind of understand it at least, but wake up and smell the 128 bit addressing people, ipv6 is a SUPER useful tool when you need it :)

I keep hearing this, and I KNOW it's true at the enterprise level, but I've been running my home LAN IPv6 native for the last - 6+ years? Ever since I learned Comcat would vend it to you from their stock router.

Works great. No problems. Didn't used to be that way, but these days most (more?) of the stack bugs have been shaken out.

Just here to say thank goodness for the EFF. I support them, and if you live a cushy life like I do and have the money, you should too.

I'll take "Product Categories That SHOULD NEVER EXIST" for $1000 Alex!

Good. The more they abuse their user base the more people will look for alternatives. Hello Lemmy! :)

Fun meme, but honestly I think the only folks it's gonna be a bad year for are AAA game devs, who I already sympathize with.

I think indies are gonna keep rocking some outstanding content. Content made with and for love will always beat content made for money IMO :)

 

So, years ago I tried PGP/GPG and put my key up on the public keyservers.

And then promptly lost the private key data. Lather, rinse, repeat, and now there are like 5 old GPG/PGP identities for me up there that are gone forever and can't be revoked.

So, it's 2024, and I think "I have a NAS I do regular backups and test restores on. Surely I can keep my private key data safe and secure now".

So I get GPG going, create my keys, and then, not knowing any better? copy my entire $HOME/.gnupg directory to my NAS.

The goal here is for me to be able to use the same private key across all the machines I use. There are several.

But when I copy down that directory, GPG refuses to "see" it. gpg --list-secret-keys prints - Nothing.

  1. Is there a better way to keep my key in sync across all my machines? I'd rather not use keybase if possible, they give me the willies after tainting themselves with cryptocurrency and being bought.
  2. Assuming there isn't, what am I doing wrong with my ~/.gnupg directory?

Thanks in advance!
