“I'm waiting for someone to, first, describe a better system than #capitalism, and second, set out a realistic path for getting from here to there. When that happens, it will be worth thinking harder about the ethical flaws in capitalism. Until then, […] there is a huge amount we can all do, within the current economic system, to make the world a much better place.”

Este año no he encontrado tiempo para escribir un análisis de las convocatorias y los manifiestos #HaciaLaHuelgaFeminista #8m. Pero los he leído, y lo que escribí el año pasado (en contra) sigue siendo válido para #HuelgaFeminista2019. Otro año más, esto tiene muy poco que ver con el #feminismo 😕

I've made a mock-up to illustrate my ideas about the next-gen terminal experience!
Featuring:
• the pathbar
• username, hostname and git branch displayed in the UI, shrinking the shell prompt back to just a $
• commands as cards
• syntax highlighting, including graying out the output a bit to differentiate it from commands themselves

• built-in error handling options
• the time each command took (on the right)

Signal is testing out a new feature that encrypts message metadata. Once it's widely deployed, their server will facilitate delivering messages but without having access to who is sending them
I made http://www.fidelramos.net HTTPS-only. I took it as an opportunity to learn about @letsencrypt@mirrored.social and certbot, incredible pieces of technology.
I ran into a problem when the site was live in HTTPS, but my http://Keybase.io proof for http://www.fidelramos.net broke.
Turns out I was using cert.pem as the SSL certificate, which doesn't include the full certificate chain. Changing to fullchain.pem solved the issue.
Next stop setting up blog.fidelramos.net!
