My father taught me that song as a kid:

Warte, warte nur ein Weilchen, bald kommt Haarmann auch zu dir, mit dem kleinen Hackebeilchen, macht er Schabefleisch aus dir.

But since he went to an English school, he also taught me English songs and nursery rhymes and I am having so much fun at therapy.

I'd disagree. We are definitely not rich. All they ask for, is that you can prove that you are able to support yourself. If you have a job, that's enough.

I used to live in Berlin and while it's not perfect, it has a vibrant LGBTQ+ scene and I'd say it's still much better than the US.

I know. I live here. Should have said "EU and some other countries in Europe that are technically not in the EU" but I didn't think about it.

Everywhere in the EU is probably more safe than the US. We have pretty good protection for trans people and we all speak English (well, most of us). You could try Switzerland https://www.eda.admin.ch/countries/usa/en/home/visa.html and I suggest going to Bern as it's quite liberal. Excellent health care system. Expensive though, but also good wages. Germany is cheaper and in the bigger cities you'll be just fine. Good luck!

Logseq is the best note taking app for me. And a lot of my programmer/adhd colleagues. I cannot keep order in my notes and logseq does it for me. It's so essential for my workflow that I have a monthly donation to the project set up.

I have multiple different graphs/vaults/whatever synced by simply storing the markdown files in a synced folder and I never had any issues. The new version of logseq is supposed to use a database and syncing, afaik.

If you don't have a subscription for dropout.tv already, get one. It's worth every penny. This episode was a masterpiece.

Thanks for that rabbit hole. My former colleagues and I have just started a new conversation thread in our WhatsApp group about the differences of (non-) cryptographic hashes and encryption. And all because I was confused why you've chosen to reference the public key file in your original comment. Well, at least I'm learning something.

Sorry for the confusion about "encryption". I meant "signing" which is encrypting a hash of the commit with your private key, so that others can verify that your the author of the commit using your public key and the hash.

I think, the only confusion here was the original comment that referenced the public key for signing, but this was resolved, as it is just telling git which key pair to use. Probably, all people here understand the basics of asymmetrical encryption and signing and it was merely misunderstanding of how the command for signing git commits can be used.

OH! Now I see! Thanks for pointing that out.

Yeah, sorry, I meant signing, not encrypting. I know about asymmetrical encryption. That's why I was confused by the original statement. For signing you use your private key so that others can verify your identity by using your public key for checking the signature. For encrypting data you use the public key of the receiver.

The original comment used the public key for signing, which is not what you want to do. I now read the explanation.

But why? Public is public. People can take my public key. The can encrypt my commit, making it indistinguishable from my commit.

Isn't the idea to use your private key for encryption so that everyone can use your public key to decrypt your signature and to verify that it's you who actually did the commit, because no one else has access to the private key?

Aren't clock tattoos like such a cliché that tattoo artists role their eyes when you ask for one? Are a bunch of millennials and gen-x deemed gang members because they followed a trend?

Are you using your public ssh key for signing? Wouldn't it make more sense to use the private one as people can then verify your identity by using your public key?

I also want to know

I work for a kind of data provider/dashboard/planing tool for energy grid providers. There is an issue with the "sudden" rise of solar panels and heat pumps and electric cars. Our grid isn't made for this and there needs to be modernised.

That being said: Yay abundant clean energy!

Lived in Berlin for over 20 years. I will never call a Berliner a Pfannkuchen.

Please tell me what a Berliner is to you.
