A bit different post as casual, but with our lives increasingly becoming more and more digital, would like to stress the importance of organising the access to your accounts and passwords in case something happens to you.
- who gets access when something happens "just" with you
- who gets access when something happens with your family (e.g. plane to holiday destination)
It doesn't matter if you have your passwords written down in a small black book or a fancy offline/online password manager. Talk to people who you trust with the access, let them know how they can get access (and show it to them).
Your loved ones will be very thankful. They will be having other things on their minds in those situations than having to hack into accounts or sending death certificates all over the place to get access.
Do not put it on your to-do list for maybe next year. Please get it sorted on the short term.
Hi everyone! 👋 We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security – So if you see someone recommending it, please inform them about the risks – but also that there are actively maintained successor projects (like LibreOffice). #foss #OpenSource
People who code for a living: how much of the code you've written in your career has ended up getting thrown away before anyone used it?

Free Software needs to get better at, and less scared of, doing politics. Blog post, by me.
