Since you are based in the EU you could try to get on https://european-alternatives.eu/category/search-engines (or any other page listing EU-based alternatives to foreign services).

Surprisingly, my Kagi search for “eu alternatives” to get the link showed this blog post: https://yeechie.nl/uruky-kagi-alternative-eu-based-private-s... as a second result, what a weird coincidence.

I am working on the bare metal automation of IronCore. The project provides tooling to automate the management of data-center hardware and a an Infrastructure-as-a-Service offering on top of that.

Previously I was working on the ingress components of Cloud Foundry, a Platform-as-a-Service offering.

> It's very difficult to review history. I stopped using it a while ago, but since everything's encrypted `git diff` won't give you anything useful and IIRC the command line tools were very hard to use for reviewing/restoring passwords when you mess up updates, etc.

pass sets up a .gitattributes and configures git to convert gpg files to text via a custom driver. This enables a text-diff of the encrypted contents out of the box (at least for a store I've just set up to test this).

  ~/.password-store # cat .gitattributes
  *.gpg diff=gpg
  ~/.password-store # cat .git/config
  # ...
  [diff "gpg"]
          binary = true
          textconv = gpg2 -d --quiet --yes --compress-algo=none --no-encrypt-to --batch --use-agent

Seems like Steam wasn’t prepared for this, steamstat.us reports the store as done since the minute it released.

Thanks for sharing this! My main issue with the windowed projectors is that you can't force them to have the proper size for the resolution of the OBS canvas which causes the result to be scaled and it has window borders. I've worked around this by having a virtual display (in my case BetterDisplay [1], but DeskPad should work as well) and use the full-screen projector instead, as an added benefit there is no additional window floating around. The resolutions are all aligned, so no scaling.
