Datagenerator··on Obsidian – A knowledge base from a local folder of plain text Markdown files
The Open Source solution which serves me well for years has been TiddyWiki (1). Supports Tags and various modes of output. Each page one file or all in one, very open so recursive changes can be applied on the shell in plain files.

Datagenerator··on OpenBSD 7.0
Thank you for writing this. Analogous to spinning wheels, the outside rotating very fast ( NixOS/Arch) and near the stable center we have several BSD's. FreeBSD for the excellent ZFS, OpenBSD for vital network functions, Wireguard etc.

Cheers, happy donations to the BSD Foundation!

Singularity containers not mentioned yet: are unique, they don't change on use and can bind mount resources, run without root privileges. You can actually execute the image files and include them in the well known Unix pipe sequences in your favorite shell. Really powerful stuff.

Also, for more privacy. Microsoft doesn't have to constantly see what you are doing. They got GitHub and O365 with OneDrive integrated in all the big companies, way too much power already..

Datagenerator··on XMonad – The Automated Tiling WM
Maybe weird, but as NixOS user my dotfiles stay unmanaged. I VFS cache mount an S3 bucket using rclone(1) which gives the same home directory experience on all machines. Normally that would be something NFSv4 could provide, however the advantages of this setup are a) I can access HTTPs from most places without firewall issues b) takes just one binary.

Datagenerator··on Downsides to planting trillions of trees
Seconded. Throwing money at the problem will only make it sub par to what nature has to offer as solution. We need to reduce and let go the flawed ideas of controlling and clearly see that the unlimited growth and money creation accelerates the problems we gave mother Earth. Enjoy nature while you can.

Off-topic: Start thinking about OCI Open Container Images. Docker went commercial -but to start what is basically some processes- you have podman and Singularity now. Containers are just files running in Linux cgroups.

Datagenerator··on Google Chrome to remove detailed cookie and site data controls
I'm into watching telemetry data using tools like Pihole, Wireshark, DNSLookupView. Firefox is the only browser which does not invoke spontaneous connections and gives the user the Freedom to inspect and clear the cookie data. Google notoriously creates VPN tunnels to hide what it is sending and receiving. Your browser preference might determine many people's privacy if the narrative is limited to not so important things to me like speed and ease of use.

Datagenerator··on Linux is dead, long-live Docker monoculture
If you don't want portability design exclusively for Docker and specific Linux distributions. Otherwise see what happens when compiling on other OS families like BSD and Windows. Popular tools are broadly available on many different platforms. Why? Because of portability and keeping the number of dependencies as low as possible and optimized to be compiled by numerous compiler vendors. Sticking to Open Standards and time proven RFC's improves the projected lifetime of tools like rsync, curl and ssh to name some examples. Projects going for the narrow audiences and assume the availability of Docker, systemd and dbus limits the users of the software or tool at hand. What's going on with the number of name resolvers on Linux. These truly make simple things less opaque and ever more confusing when compared to the origin of all, UNIX and BSD operating systems. Microsoft 'Love's for Ubuntu will without doubt only stand to gain Microsoft in the long term. The telemetry and always changing the narrative on how things must go forward within the vision of Microsoft will aim to kill compatibility and the power of the users to choose another platform and bring with them the applications they like to run. This freedom is not available when all software assumes one very specific type of MS blessed Linux/win32 honeypot. The telemetry is the most important feature, all else comes second to Microsoft, Google and Amazon. Are you enjoying VSCode and GitHub now? Skip to 2030 and you will absolutely hate it. Freedoms will be taken away, code will be assimilated and terminated, see the YouTube downloader saga as example of things to come.

Datagenerator··on We should build for wildlife as well as people
The only thing needed? People shouldn't interfere with nature so much. Let it all balance naturally and optimality by doing: nothing. No research needed, no plans, no guidance, just let the earth do it's thing and Paradise returns quickly.

Remove the daily generation of inflationary money from the global economy and stop abusing our mother earth with this flawed idea of the forever expanding GDP. Return to moderate living and actually have time to enjoy what nature has to offer without highly industrial vehicles, boats and all kinds of wasteful things which require large industrial complexes and infrastructure. The world needs more wondering and less greed driven market leaders. The profit of a few is destroying the earth and reducing the quality of life - who really wants to slave labor every day without gaining the ability to have long periods just to travel, explore and admire the beautiful landscapes earth has to offer? If we only would reduce and not increase our list of must haves - we might actually start living instead of just existing to pay taxes and pay the ever increasing monthly bills. The rat race to our extinction has to stop. Everywhere where people stop fiddling with nature, recovery starts showing. Stop building dams, stop mega structures, stop generating the need to use industrial scale weekend flights -throwing massive amounts of extra heat in our airspace - for what? To briefly escape the labor intensive life as designed by our rulers. Did you have a choice not to need inflationary money systems? Money which banks -effortlessly- create every night in databases as mere numbers which keep on abusing you and the earth that we are trying to kill as fast as possible?

Datagenerator··on Ghidra: A software reverse engineering suite of tools developed by the NSA
Some people like me, can hear data movement on PCB's. The electrical circuit has noise signatures which change if other data is injected by Ethernet over powerline equipment. The distance from which this works is quite large, up to a few houses with consumer hardware. Fear equipment with built-in LoFi.. that's reachable without cooperation of LAN equipment..
Datagenerator··on Don’t submit to conformity
Thank you for sharing these insightful views. Somehow people who are uninformed and exhibit being judgemental to any new idea get prominent positions. The act of 'showing unwillingness to change' as default behavior is also personal it seems. If some external company proposes breaking changes it's suddenly good.. all uninformed but suddenly acceptable. These Service Owners have been instructed to always give credit to outsiders never to coworkers with equal or better solutions without the fanfare and additional business relationships which makes them feel and look good. Human behavior of numb and mindless people can become quite dangerous history has shown and still these kind of patterns are promoted.

Also, the user can use his freedom to build and do whatever wished for. This tone of you shouldn't do this because some COTS is available sounds very commercially driven. People have the power to create another Google, we are not powerless.
