@hexmasteen Any reason for choosing nitrokey over yubikey? Yubikey seems to have more features and is cheaper.

I would prefer open hardware but I am also a poor student. It's fine if yubikey still supports free software through and through.

@keverets it doesnt look like it supports ssh keys whereas the nitrokey does

@hexmasteen I know yubikey recommends you buy 2 yubikeys (one as a backup). Is that the same for nitrokey? What happens if I lose my nitrokey?

@hexmasteen Whats in the nitrokey 3? Should I wait too?

Im thinking of picking up a totp physical key. Anyone got a recommendation? It must work with free software and preferably open hardware.

loved this! Might get a pinetime to try out mygnuhealth!

@Austin nope! You dont need root for ssg or rssg

@Austin https://www.romanzolotarev.com/ssg.html

is great. they also have an rss generator. other static site generators are more trouble than theyre worth.

The #Sxmo and #sxmo-offtopic irc channels are now on the oftc network:

The freenode channels are no longer in use. If you are out of the loop see:

@jarbus @hund Ya, I selfhost xmpp+mumble. It's not perfect but it gets the job done. The current state of matrix is not good:

It's not enough that the server software is free software and federated. The server software must be easy, cheap, and simple to self host.

@jarbus @hund You can host a mumble server on a cheap computer though instead of the supercomputer that matrix requires.

@govynnus Ya, that command works and gives me the correct time. Cool! I didnt know.

@govynnus Maybe dont use the date command if you're unsure. Try out the various websites. Just make sure it says "CEST" - Central European Summer Time.

@govynnus Thanks! Hope to see you there.

I actually discussed this on the alpine-devel irc cause I was so confused. CEST in the date command gives the wrong time. We have no idea why. So some people (including alpine) meant CEST is an abbreviation for "central european summer time". CET in the date command is "central european time". Im assuming CET in the date command already takes into account daylight savings?

If you figure it out, let me know.

The Alpinconf 2021 schedule just got posted! https://www.alpinelinux.org/conf/

SXMO will be giving a talk during Saturday
16:30 Central European Summer Time. To see what time the talk is in your timezone, run the following command on your system:

$ date -R --date='TZ="CET" 16:30 this Sat'

We will also be answering questions during the call and maybe hanging out in the offtopic call. Hope to see you guys there!
