I have a hard time understanding the benefits of the keyring (e.g. GNOME keyring). I get the convenience parts - I don't have to enter password for something every time I want to use it (e.g. mounted encrypted drive) and I don't have to create a secret for some background stuff (applications keys). But the problem is, if I understand it correctly, that every application has the same access to my keyring, so, in theory, a malicious application can just read my Signal key and they can just read all my Signal messages right? Is there a point, then, in encrypting e.g. local database (like Signal) if the key to that database is readily available anyway? Any input is welcome. thanks!

Hello everyone, I just wanted to introduce you to my newest project. Its a simple time-based priority queue for your chores!

I suppose its a very niche area, I just wanted to have some queue from which any member of my family can take one of the top most priority chores.

Also, it is (going to be) kinda my reference project so you may find some weird stuff like why the heck am I using liquibase 😀 Simply because I use it at work and I want to show it off in the future when I am sending my CV!

I make no promises for the future feature, but I would like to have chore categories (so multiple dashboards baby) and maybe a home assistant plugin (for smart displays).

Oh and one more thing, I did not use any LLM's to create this stuff. I think at some point I will have to make some project with AI to "improve" my CV, I am seeing it in way too many job descriptions, but I don't want to do it for the fun projects like this one.

Anyway, I hope you like it, feel free to tell me your opinion, even if it's just saying that my sense for UI esthetics sucks (oh boy I do not have that sense I know it) 😀

Oh and here is the repo https://codeberg.org/Tony4dev/chorizard

Should we also boycott companies that basically do what Trump wants by making other nations pay the US tariffs? E.g. in the link you can read about Sony (Japan) and Xbox (Microsoft - US). I know Microsoft is already American, but it is another major manufacturer that is hiking prices globally.

Those are so far few companies, but I read that some clothing brands and even food markets are discussing about this option.

What do you think?

Actually I don't need it for my phone, but I need USB charger with 10W output (5V,2A). And I would like it not to cost too much, because I need more than one, but if its guaranteed made in Europe... Or any asian made that is not China? I know this is BuyEuropean, but if there is no option, my second rule is no China/US. Thank you

I need to buy some NAS drives. Originally I wanted to go for seagate but they being US company, I have no desire anymore. WD is also US. I know I could opt for Toshiba (Japan) or Synology (Taiwan), both probably excellent options, but I am curious, do we have something european? I didn't find anything. Any experience with the Toshiba or Synology regarding reliability? Thanks
