When I started experimenting with #Linux again in 2024, I was very impressed at how mature everything had become since I last tried it in the mid-00s. The biggest surprise, though, was #GNOME. It had a level of intentionality and clarity of vision that far exceeded my expectations of a FLOSS project. It made me feel welcome and comfortable.
To the developers of @gnome : Thank you for having the audacity to strive for simplicity in the face of continued criticism from the community. It matters.

i mean.. yes. but also lol.
two concepts that many developers don't think much about are connectedness (how many things talk/connect that you aren't even aware of) and unintended use/consequences.
i think it's great you keep this collection to remind you and others of how much we all don't know about how our work is used or how the things we do use don't work the way we think they do. :)

This week on #OpenSourceSecurity I have a chat with @algernon about @iocaine
Iocaine creates a maze of garbage to trap scraping bots. I love this idea, it has amazing chaotic good energy!
I learn all about how Iocaine works, and even got to see some dashboards showing off the size of the problem and how Iocaine handles it all.

Safari 17.4 shipped a new HTML switch element that upgrades a checkbox to a switch by adding a `switch` attribute: `<input type="checkbox" switch>`.
This blog post introduces a polyfill for the element, covering accessibility, internationalization and styling, and looking at the element's status in the HTML spec.

"Have you considered going commercial yet!?!?!?" Yes and it is a bad idea. Here is why it is actually really hard to give money and support most FOSS projects. In a blogpost rant.
This is probably my second to last blog in that improptu serie about Hobbyists Maintainers, slowly reaching its conclusion of a model of Hobbyists Maintainers situation and how we can actually help them.
Because believe it or not, I know how to say something else than "no" or "it will not work".

Ledovku na silnici jsem zažil pár let zpátky na 12km trase při cestě do školky. Nulová trakce a tři auta v příkopě. Měli jsme v té době celoroční gumy a zasekl jsem se v křižovatce, o které jsem ani netušil, že je mírně do kopce a za boha se nemohl rozjet. A zítra nás to asi čeká znovu. Tentokrát máme na obou autech dobré zimní gumy. I tak žena říká, že do školy jedu s dítětem já.
Zítra se ledovka zeptá, co za gumy jste na podzim zvolili 🙂

Česko má za sebou dosud nejchladnější ráno této zimy, kdy teploty na řadě míst klesly hluboko, až k -30°C. Od západu ale nastane oteplení a sněžení se bude měnit v mrznoucí déšť.iDNES.cz
@unterwasser Ono totiž ty kvalitní celoročky mají na sněhu dnes už fakt srovnatelnou výkonnost, zvláště pak tu trakci, která je dnes prakticky stejná:
tyrereviews.com/Tyre-Tests/The…
(a to jako benchmark použili WinterContact TS 870, což není nějaká průměrná zimní pneu, ale top). To si myslím, že větší rozdíl udělá stáří pneu, že 5 let stará WC TS 870 proti novým top celoročkám propadne.
Ale pohon na všechny čtyři je na sněhu pořád velká výhoda. Včera jsme v údolí zjistili, že jsme nahoře nechali boby a v té vánici jsem si tam se zadokolkou netroufl, přítel od mamky má Vitaru se 4x4 a tam, kde bych já už jel na hraně, to jelo jak nic. Ona je kapitola sama o sobě, že někteří majitelé čtyřkolek ani neví, že se ten pohon 4x4 musí zapnout.

@sesivany @banterCZ @unterwasser Tak vždycky ta guma jde po dvou letech vyhodit, i když ještě má vzorek. Jednou jsem jezdil zimní tři sezóny a z docela špatných zimních to byly ještě horší zimní. Ale třeba to bylo autem.
Protože naše Mazda 3 byla v zimě docela špatná nebo jsem tam netrefil žádné dobré zimní gumy. Hyundai i20 jsem si nikdy nezkusil v zimě na zimních, protože měl ty hrozný celoročky. Tesla v zimě jezdí perfektně, ale měli jsme tam zatím jen jedny zimní gumy. Za to letní byly Bridgestone Turanza a byly hrozný.
Zoe dostala zimní do kufru při nákupu a chovala se všelijak na letních i zimních. Pak ale v servise zjistili, že tam je o 0.3° hnutá sbíhavost. Seřídili to, vyměnili přední zimáky a to auto je jak vyměněný.
Nemusí to tedy být nutně jen v pneu, ale také v nastavení podvozku, distribuci váhy a poměru šířky pneu k zatížení náprav. Ta Mazda měla docela širokou gumu na to jak byla lehká (~300 kg na 215mm). Zoe má ~375 kg a 195 mm a Tesla 475 kg na 235 mm.

My friend has an ubuntu laptop and forgot her password. It logs in to her account on boot, but obviously not having the password is not a sustainable situation.
What's the least disruptive way to sort this out? Can I just boot off a stick and clear /etc/password is there a better way forward?
Got a Raspberry Pi 5 for some homeserver tasks.
Sadly it seems rather more involved than the earlier models that I was pretty happy with.
Apparently they switched to 'Mini HDMI' which I of course don't have lying around. Luckily the 'Raspberry Pi Imager' utility can build an sd card image with ssh enabled and the wifi password pre-supplied 😊. Icky that it needs root but otherwise works well.

So now I can use the pi to build the NixOS installation for the pi itself 😊

it's micro hdmi right? the pi4 already has that as well and i found it very annoying. The pi zeros have mini hdmi, which you also need a special adapter for and ugh.
(Mini-DP is a much more used alternative and also royalty free. 🤷♀️)

How accessible is Discord in a browser?
We're using it at work (don't ask, Shadow IT), and I'm strongly considering switching to a two-account setup at this point. Especially because their track record on privacy (from your contacts, not in the weird "I don't want personalized ads" sense) is spotty at best.
from a screen reader / non mouse input method standpoint? i have no idea.
from a "how similar is it to the desktop app" standpoint? it's literally identical. with the exception of a few features the browser sandbox prohibits, like push to talk when the browser window isn't focused, there is literally 100% feature parity.
discord desktop is an electron app. it's a website in a box already. why maintain two frontend codebases when you don't have to?
Are phising attempts getting more believable for everyone or just me?
Just got a "Update payment method" mail allegedly from @hetzner@hetzner.social. But it was sent to the mail address advertised on my personal website (which is hosted on Hetzner's servers).
