Dear #Microsoft, accepting only two (well, three, but one shut down) #OpenID providers is BROKEN. Decentralization: you're doing it wrong.
@pehjota #Microsoft trusts an #OpenID provider that stopped paying for their domain name four years ago more than they trust me. What?

So I'm an #OpenID provider now. !selfhosting
@pehjota Though it's amazing how few actively maintained !fs #OpenID servers exist. I guess few people provide their own authentication?

I actually have serious issues with my main project because the compiler doesn't compile correctly anymore. Ugh. Well, hope you fixed it!

If you can't connect to sshd the first time, try again every 6 seconds for 14 more hours. Silly attackers. #insanity

Why are contracts to use non !FS called "EULAs"? Licenses give rights; End User Contracts take away otherwise legally-protected rights.

@pehjota I'm not sure if it's really what you're looking for exactly, but you could look at opkg's pkg format
