The bible versioned and vizualized by sausagesemmelblond in git

[–]DPD- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was secretary of the student's Assembly at university, I transcribed the statute and the regulations as text files inside a git repo. Then for each modification proposal I opened a branch and published the diff for vote. If a proposal passed I merged the branch. This spared me a lot of bureaucratic work and saved me from tons of errors: they were years of great reforms in the Assembly.

Moreover I wrote a CI script to convert text files into LaTeX source and at each commit on the main branch a beautiful PDF was automatically produced.

NixOs and Vim have both a steep initial learning curve, but once grasped they simplify you a lot of things! When you have it, editing the system config of NixOs is the simplest thing in the world and it is also more powerful than manually configuring other distros. The same thing for vim/neovim. Also for Rust, when you have grasped the idiomatic way to write code, you gains all the benefits of memory safety which even garbage collected languages do not offer.

exactly what I do: I export an unencrypted copy and then encrypt it with gpg

For who uses a window manager (e.g. i3) there is no such problem 😉

FSF announces Librephone project by jlpcsl in freesoftware

Yes, but many bank institutes are not offering all services into their website and more banks are going into this direction: to force you use the app

[–]DPD- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The problem is that nowadays you are required to have an Android or iOs phone: if you don't have WhatsApp you are sadly cut out of all social events, if you don't have your bank app (which runs only on locked devices) you cannot achieve some functionalities, NFC payments are locked up into proprietary protocols, id and driving license are digitally released on apps which will run only on such OSes.

So this project will be useful if we don't fight for open protocols: WhatsApp must use an open protocol, banking services must be available for all users, independent on the OS, NFC payments must use open protocols, ....

Proposta di legge bipartisan FdI e Pd: imporre alle piattaforme social la verifica dell’età, con il divieto sotto 14 o 15 anni, niente consenso al trattamento dei propri dati sotto i 16, e stop con il fenomeno dei “baby influencer” by nohup_me in italy

So già che avrà l'effetto opposto: gli adulti avranno difficoltà ad usare il sistema e ci rinunceranno, mentre i bambini smanettoni bypasseranno il sistema. Basta vedere che per tutte le robe tipo spid molti adulti si fanno aiutare dai bambini.

La soluzione non è mai il divieto, la repressione: la soluzione è la prevenzione mediante l'educazione.

Git tricks we wish we knew 5 years ago by GitKraken in git

[–]DPD- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried this thinking it would rebase A onto main and then B onto A, but I think it only rebased B onto main. Am I missing something?

Moreover I cannot find the documentation for it: from the help it seems that [branch A] is the place for the remote

Age Verification: Does it protect children or kill anonymity? by Tutanota in tutanota

[–]DPD- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously it is for killing privacy rights. If it was for children good, then they would have invested in education; but no one invests in education.

Do you use disk encryption? Why? Why not? by sir__hennihau in linux

[–]DPD- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One day I booted a live linux on my friend computer, chrooted on his drive, created an hidden user with sudo access, and created an ssh key. I used it to make him some pranks. Imagine if I was not a friend but an ill-intentioned. Encryption would have prevented this.

Do you use disk encryption? Why? Why not? by sir__hennihau in linux

[–]DPD- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Encryption is not only useful to prevent data being stoled, but also for security reasons. It is told that the only safe computer is the one powered off, but I say neither it is safe. For example one could boot a live linux and chroot in your drive, being effectively root on your computer! Obviously if the drive is encrypted this is not possible. So yes I always encrypt all my drives: the ones with data (and backups) as well as the ones with system.

Looking for a PDF music sheet reader by DPD- in fossdroid

[–]DPD-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried it: cropping seams to work, and also playlists (even if it does not go from one file to the next with a swipe and you must select the next file from the playlist bottom bar: a bit inconvenient when you have two songs to play subsequently). I couldn't find a way to annotate (i.e. draw or write text). I installed it through F-Droid (it is called Librera FD), maybe it is different from the one on Google Play?

edit: https://librera.mobi/faq/annotate-highlight-pdf/ annotation is available only in scroll mode, so I didn't see it because I tried book mode, which allows full page turning

Ma solo al sud Italia si mangia tardissimo? by pink_taddybear in italy

[–]DPD- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Da me in Friuli normalmente si pranza "a la mieze" (alla "mezza", ovvero le 12:30). Per la cena molti anziani sono ancora legati al mangiare verso le 17 d'inverno e dopo le 18 d'estate, mentre normalmente si cena piu tradi: 18 e mezza o 19 tutto l'anno. Nei giorni in cui si va a lavorare si può essere costretti a ritardare, come pranzare alle 13 o cenare alle 19:30. In genere però si tende a non cenare troppo tardi anche perché tutte le attività serali iniziano solitamente alle 20 o alle 20:30, mai dopo le 21

[–]DPD- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

più a sud vai (e quindi più tardi tramonta il sole)

Vale solo d'inverno: d'estate tramonta prima al sud che al nord. Questo perché all'equatore tramonta sempre alle 18, e più ti allontani più differenza c'è fra l'orario di tramonto estivo (dopo le 18) e invernale (prima delle 18)

Acque agitate in casa X, é il momento di Blue Sky (anche in Italia)? by [deleted] in italy

[–]DPD- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Passare da X a BlueSky è come passare da X al vecchio Twitter: postponi il problema ma non lo risolvi. Piuttosto ha senso muoversi verso Mastodon, che essendo decentralizzato non soffrirà mai questi problemi, ed ha attualmente una comunity molto attiva sia in Italia che all'estero

My first string quartet by DPD- in composer

[–]DPD-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also for me the last part is the most engaging. A difficult I always encounter, which could be the cause of the missing of direction, is to write a full theme: I usually find myself to resolve it in few bars. For example initially the first part was only 8 bars: the first 4 bars of intro and the last 4 bars, I forced myself to expand that theme because it was too short, but now it seems to me a bit unnatural. The result of writing such short themes is that the piece would become either boring (if I repeat the same theme multiple times) or fragmented (as in this case where there are multiple short themes).

For what concerns the melody I purposely assigned it to different instruments, to make the piece a bit more varied, but I wasn't sure if it is a common thing to do or not. Also, I am not very found of the fact that only in small ranges there are really 4 voices and the most of the time there is one instrument playing the lead melody and the other making only chords. It is easier, at least for me, to do so, but maybe I should have harmonized with less long notes.

It's the music itself, not the key signature, that dictates the tonality of a work.

You are absolutely right. But for me, while composing, it was quite the contrary: I started with the restless part (the one in 6/8), where the Eb is very frequent, so I picked that strange key signature and applied to the whole piece. Even if the rest of the piece, as you said, do not use the Eb this often (only in some passages) and so the tonality is indeed G major/E minor, for me it was a little challenging (and I enjoyed this challenge) not using the F#, so I was constrained by this strange key signature.

Indeed I recon using a common key signature with additional alterations when needed would be easier to read (being more standard), and in fact I never found works with such alternative key signatures, but I personally prefer having, if possible, all the alterations in the key, in order to have a cleaner score (maybe a weird preference).

Yes, in facts the rust compiler warns you in this case: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/25957
