Tested Kagi for as-long-as-I-could-without-paying. It’s pretty good I must admint. Not sure if $10 per month good, but good!
New M3 Macs looks fine enough to get upgrade. The one that interests me the most is about 11500 pln ($2755 with taxes) so it’s not that bad, but I’m gonna wait a couple months and snag it on 1-2k pln discount because of course they will be that cheaper in ~Feb.
I broke OS on not one but two different Raspberry Pies I’ve got at home. Not looking forward to spinning them up again from scratch unfortunately but I have to. Sounds like weekend/Friday plans are made up…
I guess everyone will raise prices for streaming but there’s this one place that will always have movies and tv shows for free and I’m not saying anything but I guess I am?
Yea somehow I doubt that my data is perfectly safe and private because if it really was that, then GDPR wouldn’t do any harm to you! And - after 5 years - it’s still unavailable here. I love European Union and how law (GDPR in this case) is actually making these shitty services disappear from EU!
About me being close to new hetzner server yesterday - I was actually thinking of getting YunoHost for my wife and myself. I didn’t do a thing though because was too asleep but I think this day will come.
I don’t even need to host anything new and I’m not ready to take on another wspanialy-related journey. Still researched the best VPSes to propably buy and use.
I’m dangerously close to hetzner cloud dashboard this evening
This doesn’t spark joy.
It’s not like I have too much time but I’d definitely spin up new VPS and host something for people to enjoy.
Publishing posts on Patreon with audio might be one of the worst experiences on the internet. It’s taking AGES.
I wish that DuckDuckGo was actually good instead of being “good enough and if it isn’t good I can always use !g bang to search google!”. If you always “bang” yourself out of DDG - it just isn’t that good, you don’t have to lie to yourself.
Heard good things about Qwant, so I’m gonna check it on all of my devices and see if it really does work that good.
I love Spendee and I use it everyday with my wife but the reason I’m gonna leave them (and stop paying money which I AM!) is because those fuckers are sending me notifications and showing pop-ups in the app to buy premium. It’s so annoying!
We are gonna talk about going back to Spotify though when they introduce this high quality plan, because there’s literally no way in hell I’m coming back to Spotify after listening to everything in lossless (inb4 - yes, I do have equipment to really enjoy it and I do hear the difference!).
Wifey wanted to get back to Spotify because algorithmic playlists AND user-generated playlists are much better than on Apple Music but then getting rid of Apple One just literally doesn’t make sense when we want to use Apple TV+. This is how they get you.
Not exactly Warsaw during the night but definitely Warsaw during the evening.
I know, I said something about moving to Wordpress from micro.blog but honestly Wordpress isn’t even close in terms of how easy and usable it is.
Saw someone ask a question why is Signal better than Telegram, found this reddit thread and someone did a great job with a summary.
If it ever gets deleted, here’s a copy:
Nothing is stored on Signal's servers, all data lives on your own device(s) and only you hold the encryption keys; Telegram stores everything you do in plaintext on their servers and they hold the encryption keys. That is why pulling down data on a new device is fast.Signal encrypts everything you do end-to-end by default no matter what device you’re using it on; Telegram’s encryption is opt-in, only works on mobile, and only in one-to-one conversations
Signal’s encryption is the gold-standard, and universally praised by Cybersecurity experts; Telegram “rolled their own” encryption, a giant red flag in Cybersecurity, and the quality of their encryption is not nearly as high. Telegram’s encryption has been called “weird” by Cybersecurity experts because it was not created by trained Cryptographers
Signal’s Android, iOS, Desktop, and Server code is open-source; only Telegram’s client code is open-source, so there’s no telling what they’re doing with the data they store on their servers
Signal is a registered non-profit charity; Telegram is now profit-driven after years of being free which means they will inevitably start selling user data - die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain
Signal has never been banned in Russia and then suddenly unbanned for no reason; Telegram was banned in Russia until it was unbanned, seemingly with no reason or explanation
A test thing.
Warsaw, one day.

Mallorca, 2023.
Bought new winter jacket and I’m actually amazed that such light and thin jacket is going to keep me warm in Polish winter temperatures (-10°C in a worst case scenario).
