Just tried and it’s just doing ls in the directory passed in the arg 🤔
edit: alias cd="ls ${1} && cd ${1}" works tho


How to add signature on aerc
I'm trying to use [aerc](https://aerc-mail.org/) as my main email client but I don't find how to add automatically a signature to my mails. Does someone know how to do that?

I made a python script (Yup I’m bored lol)
https://codeberg.org/UncleReaton/RUNG

#!/usr/bin/python3
import random

with open("adjectives.txt", "r") as f_adj:
    adj = f_adj.readlines()

with open("nouns.txt", "r") as f_nouns:
    nouns = f_nouns.readlines()
    
rand_noun = nouns[random.randint(1, len(nouns))].strip()
rand_adj = adj[random.randint(1, len(adj))].strip()
rand_number = str(random.randint(0, 100))
print(rand_noun + "_" + rand_adj + "_" + rand_number)

Idk, you could try to find a list of noun, a list of adjective and then make a lil python/bash script that randomly generates a nickname. (There might be an easier solution tho)


Wow thx, the minimal solution is really cool!


Is there an alternative front-end for Twitch?
I'd like to watch some streams but I don't really wanna go on Twitch's website directly.

And way older. Let jerboa grow before telling such things.


Damn, I can’t wait for this to happen in France! /s



Wait, there are countries where YT require ID?! wtf




I’m so lost when nano pops up.




Yeah, that’s why I think it could be nice to have mods in different tz, to be able to act as soon as possible.


Idk if lemmy.ml have mods in multiple tz but if it’s not the case it could be nice to consider it.


Isn’t it supposed to block IR or something to block facial recognition? Because just making them reflecting light will just make you more “fashion” imo


Then you must carefully choose your VPN and blindfully trust that they’re not logging anything about you.


It’s a nice app! I still prefer the Lemmur’s UI but it’s cool to see another app on the market :)


You are the one who seems not knowing what he is talking about.



They only try to promote their app.


yes of course, I have nothing better to do /s


If the phone is backdoored, it would change nothing.


Ah. yes, forgot about that part. And I bet they will not open the source code of their server anytime soon…


That could be cool, I hope it’s feasible!


The only thing that really bugs me it’s the desktop clients as a premium feature. Even if I would prefer to get everything freely, I understand their choice to make call premium.


I’m not sure about “lie #1” so let’s talk about the second one. Read the privacy policy again, they are using IP adresses, they do not collect them. That’s a big difference. I see no lie here.
For secure call, yes you must pay, that’s their business model. Honestly I prefer to know that’s how they make money rather than selling my data.
But hey, we can’t all like the same thing. :)


cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/134819 > [Olvid](https://olvid.io/en/), a secure messenger, is finally open-source! They said before the end of 2021, well it's really *just* before the end but it's there. > They released the source for their Android and their IOS app.

[Olvid](https://olvid.io/en/), a secure messenger, is finally open-source! They said before the end of 2021, well it's really *just* before the end but it's there. They released the source for their Android and their IOS app.

This is not the community for that.
However, people are sometimes impulsive and it could be that or something else, who knows? But if someone wants to come off the radar, we should let them without asking.



Please tell me you made an alias for all of this


Matrix takes not that many resources to selfhotst now! also, as @dessalines@lemmy.ml mentioned, it does not use jitsi for 1 to 1 calls.
So I think your statement isn’t true.


I get it and it’s a totally valid argument. They say want to open the source code soon but it’s been a while since they said that and nothing has changed… I really hope they will respect what they said…

btw I don’t mind getting downvoted, I was just wondering why it was the case everytime Olvid was mentioned


As anticipated, a downvote. Each time I mention Olvid I get a downvote. I’d love to know why you dislike Olvid as I’m not a “fanboy” I’ll be glad to hear your opinion!


I know some of you are not going to like it but Olvid has been certified as a secure communication app by ANSSI. However, you must subscribe to initiate secure calls (you can still receive them without subscribing tho).

EDIT: I’m not saying it’s the best option, I’m just giving out one option.


I saw that in France, however every non-tech-savvy person will pay extra to get their Window$ Windows installed (There is also a big chance they only Windows and MacOS)



Didn’t know about Trace, I’ll check about it thx :)


The official website of the public transports in my town is full of craps so it could be better to have something better. But that’s what I’m doing for now :/


Is there a transport assistant website?
On my phone I use [transportr](https://transportr.app/#) but I'd like to be able to have a website that does the same thing to be able to check transport schedules without ads or any tracking bullshit on a computer. so is there a transport assistant website?

Python is the real Lego: simple but you can do great things with it :-)


Is there a good alternative to imgur ?
I don't really like imgur but it's cool to upload your picture just at one place so I'm wondering if there's any nice replacement to it.

I just created [!3d_general_talk@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/c/3d_general_talk). Feel free to share anything related to 3D there!

we can determine quite accurately how much heat would be released by a computer that brute-forced a 128-bit cipher. The results are profoundly silly: it’s enough to boil the oceans and leave the planet as a charred, smoking ruin.

I wasn’t expecting that haha. :D
