Yes. No case. Why would I? I specifically got the phone because it's quite small, and feels nice in the hand. A case would ruin that.
I also have not dropped any of my phones once in the past ~10 years.

I dream of a pure information protocol. Kinda like RSS, but... More.
- allow any piece of information (news article, DM, sensor reading,...) to be wrapped in a standard format
- subscribe to any number of source directly or indirectly (e.g. through a self-hosted relay server)
- allow networks to define default data sources (e.g. get sensor data from machines as soon as you are connected to corporate networks
- make the data declare what UI elements are required,
- but allow clients to display them however the fuck they want
- allow user to assign priorities statically or programmatically to any source, and to filter, sort, categorize based on it
Essentially: I want "the feed" from universes like The Expanse
Even worse worse, he named prior projects after Culture ship names. Whose author despised him.
It probably contained Linux
If I had to guess? Ubuntu Studio 14.04
From NixOS? Nothing, unless it's compatible with my nix config in a way that I can simply replace nixpkgs' flake input URL
That's still eugenics, just as side effect
I'm actually hosting it public-facing, because in theory, gaining access to the VM and the vault shoult be unproblematic - since the vault is only decrypted client-side
Agreed.
You can also selfhost bitwarden/vaultwarden for even better privacy.
Interesting. I always loved how they fit the musical entries into the story in a way that it makes sense that everyone is singing all of the sudden, lol
Iain M. Banks' Culture.
I'm deathly afraid of the day some big studio manages to buy the rights and produce a Hollywood version of the Culture. Mostly because it is very easy to flip through the Wikipedia entries and then take the superficial aesthetic of the Culture and misunderstand or ignore the rest.
For an example on how easy it is to do this: I remember vividly when the German translations of the later books came out, and they all had some variation of
The Culture is the galaxy-spanning empire of mankind. Unbeknownst to its citizens however, their supposedly benevolent machine gods are about to dispense with the needs for humans at all"
in the blurb. Someone scanned the wiki page until they read something about "superhuman AI" or the like, then went "ah, got it, I've seen Terminator".
In a similar vein, I cannot imagine that Hollywood would portray the Culture as an unquestionably good Utopia. They'd not be able to resist to paint the luxury gay space communists as "...with a dark secret / actually dystopian /..." tones.
