So @Linux suggested to make a face revealing rant!

This is the face behind @linuxxx! post yours BUT only if you're comfortable with it :).

Nice picture, I would make one too bad I'm already in my bed and it's dark.

I would make one too but I'm shy and since there is actually no picture of my face on the internet I would be happy to continue that way 😊

@VonKavalier That's alright! There's enough of me on the Internet and I'm still quite careful so yah :)

Wow,I also want that beard :O

Like the beard it needs a moustache though. I need to think about revealing my face though. Gotta see if I am reverse Google image searchable. Esp my FB. I make sure to NOT associate that to me.

Your journey of becoming a Linux master with a great grey beard has begun, I see. I wish for great adventures a head!

@ThatDude yes he does, I have already seen him

@AlexDeLarge I'm 22 :)

the look in your eyes seems like you want to die, i like it :)

@linuxxx you look kinda like my previous physics teacher. He was also a linux guy :D
Nice beard btw

@AlexDeLarge We're waiting :P

@marthulu in my opinion it rather looks like he was high

@AlexDeLarge The fact that I'm 22 is not a secret on here though haha!

@AlexDeLarge Appreciated, no, for real!

hey @linuxxx, this doesn't seem private enough for you, lol

Well, why not do a hand reveal.

To reveal all those informations about you seems very un-linuxxx-ish to me...

@needToRoll Idk I just felt like it :)

Just to be clear it wasn't meant as criticism of any kind (on the contrary) I was just surprised

If I did this, I'd be attention whoring. plus I don't think anyone cares about the face behind this account.

@marthulu I DO :D

@AlexDeLarge Oh the irony eh ;)

Fuck it, why not lol. My face is already on GitHub and Twitter.

I feel too young for a 'face reveal'

Would upload a selfie, but my phone camera is broken. So here you go. It's about half a year old, when I was in italy.

Well, you pretty much look like your avatar

Well lets join then :)

What @linux actually did:
Linuxxx ~$ sudo show me your face
😂😂😂😂

I feel too young for a face reveal but here is my finger pressing the space key

I’m here:
https://linkedin.com/in/...

@404response @PrivateGER @linuxxx hand, finger, face, beer

@projektaquarius so edgy

U grew a beard? Ur starting to look like that sysadmin in CommitStrip 👍

Why does everyone have a visible beard.....

My dad always told me to shave... So did my classmates in HS and Uni...

@billgates do you look terrible with facial hair?

@projektaquarius not sure.. Though acutely one question I have... How do you clean all the food and oil off it?

Actually a few times when I got a bit long, if have like pimples growing under it...

Why not

@billgates it shapes my face and the kind of girls I like seems to like it.

And ofc I'm kinda lazy and shaving everyday is a burden.

Every Dev has a beard 😮

@billgates in the morning, wash with an oil free face wash. I use the Neutragena morning one because it has menthol and vitamins. Moisturize with an oil free moisturizer with sunscreen. At least 5 days a week but preferably every day.

After you get home from work/early evening wash your face with T-gel shampoo (coal tar) 2-3 times a week (based on severity), OR Head and Shoulders (pyrithione zinc) OR Selsun Blue (selenium sulfide). Make sure you wash your face at least 4 days a week this way. But adjust based on if you work, go outside, your skin feels gross. Never more than once a day. If you do this part apply a 50/50 solution of Apple cider vinegar and water to your face.

At night before going to sleep, wash your face with a calming cleanser (I use Neutragena night oil free cleanser). If you didn't pit the vinegar on your face do so now. Apply an oil free moisturizer with salicylic acid to you face.

@Kanimaru umm no. I have a goatee. tyvm.

@projektaquarius wow, I just use beardoil after showering xD

@MisterArie i have sebborheic dermatitis. I flake into my goatee if I don't deal with it in a regimented fashion.

@MisterArie makes your skin really soft too, but maybe back down on the medicated shampoos if you are normal. Maybe every other day selsun blue. Medicated one. It has menthol. Menthol is awesome. Especially in the morning

@projektaquarius cat pics, face pics and beauty advice on devRant. Strange day :)

@MisterArie always willing to help. I am in a trial and error phase right now.

Wow. So that's you @linuxxx... I always thought you had black hair and were a bit chubby. I also thought you were at least 25, but turns out you are almost my age. I'm considering doing a face reveal but I'm not sure about it...

@gitcommit @linuxxx is only 22?!?!? He is really young to be as paranoid as he is right?

@projektaquarius I wouldn't call it paranoid but yeah I also thought he was older

Thanks everyone, now I can unlock all your iPhones 😁

@projektaquarius Is it paranoid when it's actually happening?

@projektaquarius @404response @linuxxx I wouldn't call it paranoid. I'd call it cautious. I mean, imagine if someday I get to be someone important, and, for some reason, someone wants to destroy my life.

If I used google's recently, they could get access to sensible data or even manipulate the services I've been using with/from google.

Thats why I can't trust my privacy to some random organisation.

@linuxxx @gitcommit @404response tbh I was thinking @runfrodorun but yeah I do think linuxxx is moderately paranoid.

@projektaquarius lol. Sorry, I didn't notice.

It's me - running away from ugly code 😂

Here i am, from like a month ago, just to show my shirt like my avatar, lol

Face reveal with october wear

Here's me from the local Google Cloud Platform conference on Thursday. A few nice freebies and showing off the GCP.

@linuxxx You just gathering facial data on us ey? 😛 Gotta admire that beard thickness though. Had to shave mine for Easter (to surprise the gf) and again in July to cosplay The Mask. Beard thickness and length is approaching critical mass again though!

My face is on the github anyway but it's verrrrry outdated so here goes

Morning guys

@demiko
I dont have time to shave or cut my hair

@Linux lol

@Linux Jesus, is that you?

@plusgut
I wish, imagine turning the tapwater to wine

@Linux morning jzus sir. 🙏

You look adorable 😍

@Linux I wouldn't survive that amount of alcohol not very long, but I guess that doesn't matter if you get resurrected anyway :D

@plusgut
I would die every Day, dont mind that

@AlexDeLarge

Haha, I am actually a mix of Swedish, German, Romanian and jewish

But I live in Sweden

I'll just leave this here :D https://devrant.io/rants/876195/...

@AlexDeLarge
True that!

Does eye reveal count?

@blancobloc it does!

Here's me holding a ship.

@linuxxx you definitely need more sleep

@blancobloc holy crap your eye is gorgeous. I love that eye color. 😍

@projektaquarius
Thank you so much 😍

@AlexDeLarge that is very sweet, thank you 😊 and you gotta rock the nerd style :)

@marthulu I care. Also attention whore it up. Positive attention is great.

@preyerguilt Holy crap, you literally look like Brienne of Tarth

@Jilano glasses are borrowed, and minor updates to my avatar to match my hair

<semirant> What I like(d) about the Internet (in the past) is (was) that you can (could) be who you want(ed) to be. Doesnt (didn't) matter if you are a guy or a gal (or anything in between or beyond), old or young, ugly or beautiful, fat or thin; as an anonymous netizen you have a voice on the web that by default carries equal weight to other voices, and you will be judged solely by said voice (and by your choice of nickname *cough*).

However, as soon as a more definitive identity is attached to your nick or name, such as a picture or other personal info, the moment has passed. Other people will subconsciously stereotype you, and everything you do or say is judged and filtered partially based on these stereotypes.

It's cool to be able to put faces to some of the names in here, but I think posting a profile picture - especially in a place like devRant - undermines the true value of the place: as a safe haven where developers can freely share their thoughts away from the prying eyes of scrupulous bosses and employers.

Anything you put online can come back to haunt you one day! :) </semirant>

Sorry I had second thoughts and deleted it. Lol but I'm not hard to find online. Thanks 😊

@404response I was tipsy, slept very bad the night before and had a long day at work so yah :P

@linuxxx ah okay :)

@MisterArie I use shampoo.. That's literally it 😅

@RAZERZ Wait what me?!

@ThatDude Will work on the CMS api this weekend and then hopefully a first version either this or next weekend :)

@Linux, damn, dude, you look so GNU XD

Hello, it's me =D

Just subscribing to the thread

@linuxxx yup hahahaha

@wizzzard Believe me, you don't have to tell me that :).

I've already got my picture on here once or twice and although I entirely agree with you on the haunting back part, I actually think that this face revealing part makes the community a little more bound :).

Next to that for most people I know including devs, they know who I am on here and I'm deffo not actively trying to hide that anyways.

No offense!

@linuxxx my skin gets itchy if the beard gets to big and I don't use oil :)

@demiko I don't know...

@AlexDeLarge @demiko @amlove32 did I miss her picture? 😭

@demiko 😭😥😞

@linuxxx I am just going to make my own face reveal post.. I don't have anything better to post anyways.

@linuxxx ist there already a way to contribute to the privacy site?

@404response Not yet, after the first release the plan is to go public :)

@ThatDude what do you mean, exactly?
The always working stereotype? XD

@404response Oh and still gotta decide how public we'll go but people will be able to contribute, yes!

@ThatDude ah, yeah xD I guess it was autocorrect but sometimes my inner German takes over :)

@linuxxx if you open source the front end code I would love to contribute

@404response It will be open sourced for sure! Just gotta make some rules like not using shit like react :P

@linuxxx yeah, of course :D

@linuxxx I guess right now it is just pure HTML CSS and JavaScript and I think that you mentioned bootstrap in one of your rants before?

@404response Yup!

@linuxxx awesome

@linuxxx Just curious and you don't have to tell me but what did you use for the Backend?

@404response That'd already been mentioned so don't worry haha!

I use the general LAMP (and also NginX) stack :)

Aaah why the hell not.

@linuxxx ah ok, cool

@erik404 are you a wizard? :O

@404response Absolutly.

@erik404 no offense

@404response None taken.

@erik404 my Goodness, such a cool beard

@OrestH Thanks!

@dfox we could use a scroll to the bottom button. Or is there one and am I to retarded to find it.

Wolverine

@linuxxx like I said, I'm not difficult at all to find online but beware of impostors. 😂

@erik404 WOA! That's a real beard!

@amlove32 Found a few online profiles with your devRant username 😅

@amlove32 watch out @linuxxx is spying on you

@404response SHUSH 😜

@linuxxx and now we're on the creepy side of posting pictures on the internet

@demiko I don't have Facebook and block it for myself so can't really search in it either :P

😂

@amlove32

Found you

@Linux how did you find her 😮

@linuxxx
I can email you ^^

@Linux Sure xD

@linuxxx I dunno about@Linux but I googled @amlove32 and found her.

Also @amlove32 you're pretty cute and seem fun. Why did you have second thoughts about posting your picture?

Great, now 2 Linux guys are after her xD

@projektaquarius Read up a bit :)

@projektaquarius I honestly do not know now, because on third thought, we see how easy it was to link me to things off-site regardless. I exist on the internets as amlove32 and it's such a plain username. I am only slightly worried about what might have been found but a quick Google of my own was reassuring. 😄 Thank you for your kind words.

@linuxxx
I dont have your email

@ThatDude Yup that's also my main email provider!

@linuxxx
Sent!

@Linux Will check when I get home, thanks!

Wait. What's being emailed? 😂

@amlove32 Tbh I'm not even sure but hey i made that email account for devRant related stuff so I give it on here more often xD

I have an email too, ya'll. Lol

@amlove32 You said that right after the nudes comment from @demiko...😏

Lagging... 😝

@demiko Hey at least I know what you look like now!

Must be if @linuxxx can't check it until he's home, because NSFW?

@amlove32 No because I can't have multiple accounts logged in through the mobile app xD

@ThatDude
*clicks profile*
*copies email address*

xD

@demiko You posted your picture as well...?

Allow me to butt in uninvited on this bottomless thread and totally without any relation to recent (but interesting and juicy!) comments to tag @dfox and have him scroll down over here.... Hello! We need a fast scroll button here :D

@linuxxx @ThatDude
What is encrypted? Mail is not from what I can see

@Linux Mail is not encrypted if it's sent to other providers. You can encrypt it to other providers as well but then you need to share the password/passphrase as well somehow.

And on the servers itself, the email, contacts, subjects, attachments and even last failed login attempt IP addresses are stored end to end encrypted.

If you lose your password, you're fucked by the way

@MisterArie @olezhka I posted a little bit of info on that and link to GitHub issue in this rant (or see my recent comment history): https://devrant.io/rants/875423/...

It’s definitely something we will add but we’re not sure exactly how to handle it.

@linuxxx
Try to send it encrypted to me

@ThatDude They use PKI. If you send an email to someone on the same service, the email is encrypted with that person's public key and sent already encrypted to the server. All crypto is done client side!

@linuxxx
Do they support s/mime?

@Linux You mean with the default build in encryption? Then I'd have to send the key to you somehow else as it does detect whether you're trying to email another tutanota user or not so I can't send it end to end encrypted to you without a password :)

@Linux Let me first lookup what the hell that is :P

@linuxxx
So it is some "standard" that only your provider use then?

@Linux It's their (partly) own created algo (as for the crypto) but it's been audited and they already won prizes with it. Next to that it's based on some well known crypto standards and it's open source so you could check for yourself as well :).

They're also working on adding PGP support by the way.

@linuxxx alright, so they are using a technicue that is not defined by an rfc?

@Linux Let me rephrase that, just looked it up!

Hereby: https://tutanota.uservoice.com/know...

Did a private face reveal to @linuxxx since I'm scared of future employers finding my rants :/

@marthulu Yup she did! YOU ARE PRETTY MOTHER OF GOD.

@linuxxx bwahah you're funny

@marthulu No honestly you are beautiful!
I look a litlte more decent now, let's comment another selfie :P

@linuxxx @marthulu You know how to make people curious.

@linuxxx but hey thanks :). yay!

@demiko Definitely! @MisterArie Yeah one of my hobbies :P

@MisterArie 😉

@ThatDude that long?

@marthulu Well I'm not exactly pretty or anything but oh well, I'm (hopefully) not the ugliest guy in the whole world :P

@demiko @marthulu People let's not pressure anyone xD

@marthulu don't worry, not wanting to publish your picture is fine!

@ThatDude @demiko i will do a quick one of a minute or so :)

@demiko Lookin' sharp, sir! Now I finally see the face behind the devRanter who sometimes upvotes my stuff about 10 seconds after posting xD

@marthulu Yup that was the picture you sent me!

@marthulu yeah @linuxxx was right

@MisterArie Oh I know! WHERE YOU DOUBTING ME? 😡

@marthulu The people who asked have seen it, you can safely remove it now I think :P

@demiko Oh man I love it when I get that very fast upvote haha!

Its gone now :). it's like there's a secret community of people who know who I am now

@demiko 😊

@linuxxx Haha, I wouldn't dare. But this way the compliment was less creepy.

@marthulu Hey if we pick a date I could even meet you (and some other dutch ranters, of course!) !

@linuxxx I would be up for a dutch meet up

@ThatDude @demiko @marthulu @MisterArie Damn you people are getting me to 43K really fast xD

@ThatDude im on the internet of course, just not under this name i think ;p

@MisterArie We're trying to plan one but that was possibly set for tomorrow and we haven't really confirmed anything yet haha!

@demiko you could come to the netherlands and recognize my face though ;o

@demiko yea it's a small world, you'll probably be my next employer and disapprove my behaviour on this app.

ohhh you must be a professional then!

@demiko Oh I'd be that person who spends like 10 minutes building up confidence, does it and is shaking for like one hour after xD.

Had that when I was at a hardstyle festival, suddenly saw one of my favourite producers in the croud, tried to build up confidence for about 15 minutes, said hi, got a selfie and a handshake with him and was shaking for like half an hour after hahaha

@linuxxx aa cute

@marthulu as in a good thing or? 😅

@marthulu @demiko fun thing was that he's still a very upcoming guy and nobody else noticed him so he seemed so happy when I recognized him :D

@linuxxx why would that be not good?

@marthulu Idk haha, my friends often joke around in a 'fuckerish' way with me being 'cute' :P

@demiko Yeah it was!

@linuxxx woop 43k now :)

@marthulu THANK YOU 😍

I will sleep now xd, bye!

@marthulu slaap lekker

@marthulu 'trusten!

@demiko I have posted my picture on the other thread, but let me post it here as well...

@marthulu
Me? :D

@AlexDeLarge haha nothing to see here

@erik404
Looking Good!

@nahson
Yeah that what females tells me too, except the beard part

@Linux "except the beard part" oh the amount of girls who've tried to convince me to shave.

@ThatDude 👌

@linuxxx
Thoose kind of girls are not worthy

Guess I also join @linuxxx @linux

@inpothet
🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦

@Alice "good looking people in this thread too" - thanks 😊 😜

@inpothet Aww it's a grey! 😊

@Alice he does 😺

@Alice
Your turn!

@inpothet shiiit an African Grey? Omg, I've always wanted one!!! I think they are illegal here so I'd have to move to get one :(

@Ashkin This is either going to end up with me walking away awkwardly or not but we're you referring to that comment Alice made about me or? 😅

@AlexDeLarge Koko is her name

Girls you can all stop posting your beautiful selfies, @Linux turned me gay. Holy fuck you have a perfect beard, hair from a shampoo commercial, and eyes worthy of poetry.

Now I just have to explain to my girl that I'm moving to Sweden.

I don't normally take pictures, but you guys are cool, so sure why not? Took about 15 minutes to take one i kinda liked; well it would've been shorter if i didnt take a picture with little lighting against a brown couch 😂

@AllenII You look great man!

@linuxxx thanks man. It's just that i never saw the sense in selfies (i see myself every day) and i have put on more weight since leaving school than I'm proud of. My ex was right; my face really has rounded 😂😂

@bittersweet
😘
#nohomo

@Jilano Gotta say man, you look like a very nice/cool guy!

@Alice
Thanks,
A real GNU-beard I hope

@Alice I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT but I thought people would find me a creep :/

@Alice did I miss something or could you do your part as well to correct that?

@Alice 😞

It's nice to see all these face reveals. It really shows the diversity that exists in our area ^^

So just for funs I'm going to join the face reveal, why not? My face is already online so

*drinking coffee, so tired*

@linuxxx this is the reason why I keep searching for a way to compliment all the beautiful women here...

...You know without @Alice calling me a creep...

You all look very nice!
(Counts for the men as well...)

@Alice N-n-no h-hug?😫

@Alice have you revealed your face already?

Because I assume you are female and there would be more pictures of women on here if you would post yours...

@Alice
That picture needs a hashtag like
#lookIntoMyEyes 😂

@ThatDude yeah, but will it top the 600+ comments rant? :D

@404response I'm pretty sure it's almost there ☺

@ThatDude I thought it was over 400 actually 😮

@Alice Ow sorry 😞

@AlexDeLarge you also shouldn't trust dead babies

@AlexDeLarge To be very honest, I think it's bad to say that about a specific gender. Like over here it's (ime) the other way around because damn I know some manipulative bitches but the guys are mostly fine. But that can vary everywhere really I think

It's pretty cool that so many people have already revealed their face and it is pretty fucking funny (in my opinion) that the most privacy concerned guy started it (together with @Linux of course)

@ThatDude yep, it's awesome. This whole community is great

@AlexDeLarge Do you mean optimistic? :P.

In general I'm inclined to agree with you but I think it really also works the other way around :).

@Alice that's fine (not as in nice) and i hope you've got awesome people around you who support you!

In general i don't have trust issues with girls but there's one girl who fucked over a mate of mine multiple times badly and since then I'm a lot more cautious myself :)

@AlexDeLarge hold that thought I need to write my thoughts about that down in german review and translate it and then get back to you (and all the rest of you who care) tomorrow

@needToRoll pls post in German, I might be able to help you translate it :)

@404response @Alice @AlexDeLarge I feel like a lone dutchie with all the Germans around 😅

@Alice I know I'm basically putting in the middle of the conversation. But even though you've passed through some rough experiences, there's still hope in humanity (and of course men).

I know that each one of us has his way of seeing things because of past experiences. But the future is still bright. Hope you'll get better luck and hope you have good friends near to help you

PS: sorry if I'm being nosy in the subject 😥

@AlexDeLarge I second this guy's words!

@linuxxx don't worry, we don't bite :)

@LMestre14 You're fine man! Thanks for the input :)

@Alice I think it is normal that we bond faster with people from the same gender!
And there is no shame in having trust issues after living through something horrible!

Thanks for "reposting" your picture, I like it!

@ThatDude what? Fuck I didn't know that I do that :O

Unrelated: someone please ++ this comment so I can open this thread to this location from notifs
Edit:
Thanks @Alice

@ThatDude @Alice uhmm

@AlexDeLarge Oh we don't have that many clichés about you guys haha. We've got this long going drunk thing though. No clue where it came from but we sometimes randomly start yelling "all Germans are gay" but then in Dutch 😅. It's extra funny because a good friend of mine is partly German and he always goes fake angry when that happens xD.

Glad I'm in your favourite neighbor country though 😊

@linuxxx if we all were gay then there soon wouldn't be any germans anymore

Seriously we need a chatroom or something O.o

@linuxxx anyway it's funny xD

@404response In Dutch: Alle duitsers zijn homoooooo xD

@Alice About what part Oo

@linuxxx seconded 😂

@linuxxx also referring to the chatroom comment

@linuxxx "mmm" 😉

@Alice Ikr! Although the chance that we'll get it to work is hard (at least to get it to work including me) because end to end encryption and open sourceness is a requirement for me. Anyways, I'm not stopping you guys from doing it!

@itsnameless O hai!

@ThatDude anti-apple? Xp

@ThatDude unsure how?

@linuxxx I guess a good chatroom would be everyone you want to talk with in the same room speaking in a secret language so it's encrypted :D

@404response Haha :P. German looks kinda like Dutch so I can mostly understand it well enough :). Nah I mean real encryption 😋

@linuxxx yeah, of course

Yes, I think there are a lot of similar words

@404response Ja :P

@Alice Nah ik ben een vegetariër :P

@ThatDude Yes I am haha

@ThatDude I actually found out that on this post xD
https://devrant.io/collabs/876948/...

@LMestre14 Yup xD

Cheers

@windlessuser Cheers man!

Some of you know me but here am I,

PD. Im the super handsome dude with the beard

@linuxxx @AlexDeLarge we got a joke with a german friend about giving my grandparents bike back. But its all friendly jokes.

We got a lot of german students in Groningen. Apperently they like our education system better.

@AlexDeLarge I think its a pretty common gag between german-dutch friends.

I don't know how good your dutch is. But I added a flyer from ww2. This is probably where the joke has it orgin.

@LMestre14 You look similar to someone I know from university...

@BlueNutterfly really? Well I did finish university recently 😋
If you're at IPS, Portugal, than your chances of knowing me go high

@LMestre14 So I have zero chances. I've never been there.

@BlueNutterfly damn 😩

@LMestre14 In fact, I've never been to Portugal at all.

@BlueNutterfly well, I've only been once out of Portugal, and still it was going to Spain so 😐

Here ya go, @devRant

Only because you have a special room in my heart ^^

Edit: man do i look ugly on that pic

Edit: changed picture to something more "beautiful" (mind += blown)

@demiko Georgia. It is a country to the South of Russia and North of Turkey. A really politically tense part of the world for as long as it's existed.

@ThatDude I get it. A lot of people either think that or that we're in Russia, because we were in the USSR until 1991...

@demiko Come on, nobody can remember everything. Take it easy.

@AlexDeLarge People are generally bad? I can not believe you are seriously convinced of that.
Because that would result in you walking around in fear all day. If you seriously felt like everyone around you is bad, how could you leave the house? Wouldn't you have to fear that anyone at anytime could take an action against you?

I think the opposite is the case!
People are generally awesome!
Don't get me wrong, (after reading my rants) you know that some of them annoy the shit out of me!
But I get in touch with lots of strangers (because I sometimes need help, wheelchair for those who don't know) and those encounters made me come to this conclusion. Lots of people are very helpful and make things possible regardless of their own profit.
As a side note those people marked as "bad" from our society are often the most attentive

@AlexDeLarge I hope you don't think I am a naive fool, I learned to defend myself and know how to keep distance if I don't feel safe...
I just think we should let the few people who are actually bad influence our image of ourselves that much...

PS hope my english wasn't that bad and you still get my point

@AlexDeLarge
First off all this answer is in no way disappointing for me.
On the contrary I agree with you in most parts of you comment.

About the trampling faces in the dust part; Yes you would, but in my opinion this is alright, your (for the lack of a better word) instincts tell you to stay alive as long as possible. I am fairly certain that I would do the same, if I could. I say that in the full awareness that I would go under first if it ever came to this situation.

Your view isn't that pessimistic I start to think that we just have different definitions of the term "bad human being"...

...A german philosopher once said: Happiness and intelligence combined are characteristics that are very hard to find in a human being

For me the value of this discussion lies in the exchange of views. There is absolutely no reason to try to convince either of us to change its mind.
