Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • That’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying Collaboras implementation is fundamentally unfit for use.

    I used to host a CODE server.

    It ran like shit, because it works by rendering the viewport on the remote system, not the client. Instead you essentially send every input to the server, wait for it to render the change, and then send that back to the client. Collabora is like using office software through vnc. Except all the time.

    The responsiveness is atrocious. Especially if you try to use it over a less than ideal connection.

    But it’s just fucking text data. It shouldn’t require the same infrastructure as remote gaming to be usable. It should be able to handle multiple seconds of latency, and just sync back up without the user ever noticing.

    But it can’t. Because it RENDERS on the server. Which means the tiniest hiccup in the connection between server and user causes noticable issues.










  • Also food delivery.

    In Finland, there used to be “pizza-online” which was really just a directory and ordering system for restaurants that already did delivery themselves.

    They took a very small comission, as the site didn’t really do anything except connect restaurant and customer (and provide a review platform). For a long time, they didn’t even have an app.

    You’d log in, select a restaurant, browse their menu and place an order. The order goes to the restaurant, and after that the site’s job was done.

    It was massively succesful. Every hole in-the-wall pizza place was on there. Finding good food was easy and cheap, and the restaurants reached more customers than ever. And the platform including reviews led to competition in not just price, but quality.

    Then pizza-online sold to foodora, and they got shut down, and participating restaurant were no longer allowed to deliver themselves, and the cut taken by the platform skyrocketed.






  • When a website has you type a name as a signature it’s a legal representation of that signature. There’s nothing cryptographic at all about it. Wjere would you even store the key? I’ve made ways to use Webauthn keys to do this, but no signatory uses these methods.

    I claimed no such thing. That is not a digital signature.

    I’m fairly certain we are not discussing the same thing.

    I can digitally sign documents the way I have described, NOT IN A WEB BROWSER, using entirely local or even open source software, using my government issued ID card.

    The solution provided for electronic signatures by the Digital and Population Data Services Agency is a signature certificate. The certificate is located in the card chip.

    As described by the relevant finnish agency, this is enabled by a “signature certificate” stored on peoples ID cards. The functionality uses a separate PIN from that which you use to verify your identity in the context of a website you are visiting.

    I am not aware of any other way for me to sign a document in such a way. All the other signatures, which do also work, are something else. And potentially insecure in all the ways OP thinks. (Someone else can type the same name).
