With the start of the academic year, I want to repost my expert learning article. Soon, graduate students will start their first lab rotations. A lucky few will walk in, and things will work seemingly magically on day one. For most, this marks the start of a sometimes arduous journey of learning to be an expert experimentalist. As a PI, have you ever wondered how to make this journey less arduous? 1/๐งต

We realize this isn't exactly ideal for everyone, but given Nextcloud provides a standardized WebDAV file access, you can use any WebDAV compatible file browser to accomplish exactly this feature ๐
I was today years old when I found out that you can host your own Firefox account server to synchronize your Firefox browser data without having to use a third party server.
Agree! We would love to see a Firefox Sync integration for Nextcloud. Anyone interested in working on one? We'd love to help support this effort..

I think when I was little Jell-O was still somewhat ubiquitous.. old cookbooks tell the story. At home my mum did not use it much, while grandma for a short while thought it was oh so modern. In common supermarkets today there is only a few regular items left of this era.

@thatguyoverthere it does require one to have a device to run it on tho.
Also nothing prevents them from generating iTAN lists and just request a randomized unused entry from it.
It's not as if they'll require it for every push and every merge of code.
@thatguyoverthere yes but putting #2FA on the same machine is kinda killing the security advantage.
The idea of Two-Factor - Authentification is to prevent someone from creating chaos if they gain access to an account or it's credentials...

Look, we tried trickle-down economics for over forty years. It simply didnโt work. The national debt exploded and nothing trickled-down, so now we move on.
Stimulating the economy from the bottom up is clearly more effective. A rising tide should lift all boats, not just yachts.
