this is a serious question, in case anyone has specific knowledge[1]: how come 20% of Apple device updates (most egregiously the Apple Watch) are getting to "100%" and 80% of the update is "Preparing…" with no percentage

[1]: NOT GUESSES PLEASE DON'T GUESS I ALREADY HAVE QUITE A BIT OF KNOWLEDGE ON THE TOPIC THAT WOULD ALLOW ME TO GUESS MYSELF. ONCE AGAIN NO GUESSES PLEASE

Any #FreeBSD sysadmins out there running #Bastille jails with multiple interfaces?
Or any sort of jail with multiple interfaces?
I was going to try out Bastille rather than old-fashioned manual "Thick" jail like the ones I’ve set up before because I've never done multiple interfaces or thin jails and Bastille seemed like a good way to do that. Except that it isn't working. At least not in the way I think the docs imply...
Of course I've opened an issue: github.com/BastilleBSD/bastill…

Documentation and/or implementation of 'network' subcommand unclear.

I am attempting to create a jail acting as a specialized proxy with access to multiple host vlan interfaces. The existing host config is: cloned_interfaces="lagg0 vlan0 vlan1 vlan2 lo1" ifconfig_la...

Recently, for Digital Wellbeing we merged notification improvements. Other feature work that will allow parents to better set their kids screen time by not allowing kids to unlock the screen and allow parents to extend screen time as needed is under review.

Digital Wellbeing helps parents encourage safe and healthy habits for their kids. These are features that are funded by the GNOME Foundation. #DigitalWellbeing #FriendsofGNOME

Ich hab zwei Fragen an @delta: Erstens, kann ich einen Account zu einem anderen Server umziehen oder muss ich einen neuen erstellen und allen Kontakten den neuen Account mitteilen und zweitens

Spricht eigentlich irgendwas gegen #Delta Chat? Ich mein, #Signal ist toll, aber Meredith Whittaker hat bereits angekündigt, dass sie sich aus Europa zurückziehen werden, sollte die #Chatkontrolle kommen.

You can read here how to migrate to a new relay: support.delta.chat/t/how-to-mi…

How chatcontrol will be implemented and what to do against is is hard to predict without a concrete proposal, so let's see.


How to migrate your profile to another relay (version 2.33)

Let’s say you have initially created a profile on the default relay and want to migrate away from it. Update at least to 2.33 on all your devices: Help testing upcoming Delta Chat 2.33.

I cannot say this authoritatively, but I inquired about the scope of the gpg.fail vulnerabilities that affect GnuPG (and at least one also affecting Sequioa, a Rust PGP implementation) to see if any of these things are a concern for DeltaChat and the response was that they are all out of scope for how DeltaChat uses PGP.

also DeltaChat uses rpgp, not GnuPG or Sequioa, and rpgp has been audited a couple times.

Manchmal wünschte ich, Leute gäben sich mehr Mühe zu lesen, was ich schreibe und nicht was sie lesen wollen.

Mela: "Jeder kann Politiker werden."

Menschen:
- "Aber ich habe in Partei X Erfahrung Y gemacht."
- "In den Parteien wird um jeden Posten geklügelt."
- "Bei der CDU wird man ohne Verbindungen nichts."
- "Ich bin wieder ausgetreten, weil …"
- "Für Menschen mit Sozialphobie geht das nicht."
- "etc etc"

Ich habe gesagt: Jeder kann Politiker werden.

I've noticed, of late, NVDA randomly freezes on my production machine, when at home, simply pressing control+alt+N restarts NVDA and all is well, but this naturally does not work when accessing the machine remotely. I can connect, but can't read or control anything. Is there some way to trap whatever leads up to this, and if so, report this semi-crash to someone who would find such information useful?

it's crazy that we do this. Sometimes my dog refuses to eat her chicken until it has been washed again or set out for a while (as the chlorine will break down, faster with direct UV light). She must be able to smell it even when we can't.

makes you wonder how much chlorine Americans are ingesting every day

Interstellar is a Fediverse client for Mbin/Lemmy/PieFed accounts. Having found the final culprit that kept it from being RB (after 6 months, and it was just a single thing to toggle! RBs can be bitches sometimes…), we finally succeeded :awesome:

So raising the bar a little again, RB status is now at 774 apps (60.5%)

You've all seen countless of pictures of cats squeezed into boxes too small to contain them, by their own doing.

This means that cats are able to use clever compression algorithms to reduce their size in that particular situation.

But which algorithm are they using?

#cat

  • gzip - it is free and so was the box (28%, 17 votes)
  • sit (stuffit) - i fit, i sit (21%, 13 votes)
  • lzmaow (40%, 24 votes)
  • 7zip - because cats have at least 7 lives (23%, 14 votes)
60 voters. Poll end: in 1 day
