I'm missing Proton Pass on your list. They have a free tier, and the client apps are open source. I love the broad application and OS support, seamless sync between devices and the ability to share entries with other family members. It can also manage passkeys and TOTPs.

Email from Royal Mail: "We delivered your parcel! How did we do?"
Mate, you did the bare fucking minimum expected of you. Your entire job is to accept the parcel that someone wants to send me, transport that parcel to my house, then ensure that the parcel enters my house. That is literally your job.
Reviews are for things that cost people money to experience. I will review a meal. I will review a new record, or a new movie.
I will not review a fucking parcel delivery. Particularly not the default parcel delivery service in the UK.

But they'll only get a raise if you give them a 10 NPS. So they'll soon start attaching professionally-printed leaflets saying "customers are reminded that it's polite to give a score of 10 to every courier that delivers them a package, otherwise they're at risk of losing their job."
This is actually something that does happen in certain industries right now btw.
Yes, but now it's been sold off it's in a "race to the bottom" and trying to compete with Spamazon, Herpes, DreadfulParcelDelivery, and the like. (Cut the staff, reduce the service, everything at the cheapest possible price, et bloody cetera.) At least they don't just hurl your package at the doorstep and run away. Yet. (My postie (who was absolutely wonderful) has apparently retired or been "Let go". The service has sucked badly ever since then.)
@miki @Cadbury_Moose grr, I'm so tired of the notion that basic infrastructure services will be improved through competition. I know they were inefficient when Keith Joseph first got the keys to the Conservative manifesto, and I'm sure if you take away the competition they will become less efficient, but enough is enough.
edit: preaching to the choir warning.
@FourT4 @Cadbury_Moose They have over here. Our national postal service used to have a monopoly on letters, and they got so bad that it was literally cheaper to put a heavy piece of metal in your envelope (which made it a parcel) and send it via a private company.

Notepad++ have released a new version to fix the auto update process being hijacked notepad-plus-plus.org/news/v88…

Notepad++ have today confirmed their auto process was compromised by Chinese nation state threat actors, in a supply chain hack: notepad-plus-plus.org/news/hij…
This backs up my blog from late last year, with #GAYINT threat actor mapping to Funky Stamen.
The infrastructure and update mechanisms have since been tightened. For what it’s worth - entry was to telcos and financial services with interests aligned to China. Notepad++ dev did a great job treating issue seriously.

I just have my family's pictures to hide from creeps, both inside and outside of the corporate networks.
That is more then enough reason for me to run my own XMPP server.

Das 15jährige Enkel hat im mehrjährigen #Informatik Unterricht noch nichts über die Grundlagen, Handhabung und Funktionsweise von #EMail gehört, geschweige denn etwas zu Basics in Spamerkennung.
yaxim 0.9.9c is live on Google Play.
~Major~ ~Minor~ Only change: added support for Android 15 in order to be allowed onto Google Play.
Change in privacy policy: Google insists on yaxim collecting email addresses (which it does not) because XMPP addresses look like email addresses (which they do).
Looks like I sneaked in a bug as well, that impairs the self-ping timers. Investigation is ongoing.

Dieser Schal hat mein Leben gerettet
Ich war #obdachlos – Es war Winter. Und sie stand einfach vor mir, mit großen Augen: „Du hast ja nicht einmal einen Schal!“. Und dann hat ein kleines Mädchen mir ihren geschenkt.
Ihren #Schal habe ich immer noch. Ich trage ihn manchmal, wenn ich Halsschmerzen habe. Dann habe ich das Gefühl, mehr zu sein als ein Problem.
ich hatte während des Studiums aus meiner Wohnung fliehen müssen. Die ganze Geschichte:

GTK hackfest ➡️ FOSDEM (somewhat) ➡️ OpenEmbedded workshop
This is officially the longest time I spent in Brussels since my first visit 20 years ago
I think the talk Simon (@S1m) and I gave on #UnifiedPush at #FOSDEM turned out very well. If you have 30 minutes and want to learn how push notifications in general and UnifiedPush in particular work, check out the recording.

UnifiedPush - Push notifications. Decentralized and Open Source (FOSDEM26)
To understand how we can replace Google push notifications (FCM) with something open source and decentralized, we need to understand how they work and why they are needed in the first place. This talk explains the mechanics of push notifications and why, despite their potentially bad reputation, they are a more elegant solution than having every app maintain its own persistent server connection.While open-source tools like microG can remove proprietary Google software from your Android phone, the actual notifications are still sent via Google's servers (Firebase Cloud Messaging).
UnifiedPush is a framework that allows push notifications to be delivered in a decentralized manner or through self-hosted servers. Numerous open-source Android apps already support UnifiedPush, including Tusky, Ltt.rs, Fedilab, DAVx⁵, Fennec, Element, and many more.
The presentation ends with a short demo on how to use UnifiedPush on Android.

Andrew Mountbatton-Windsor has insisted today that he did not meet a further woman for sex in 2010 because he had actually gone to Nando’s. In Woking.NewsThump
A big and warm thank you hug to all the friends I met and talked to in Brussels this time. Two packed days of events before #FOSDEM including an awesome prize ceremony, then two intense days at ULB where I must have talked to more than a hundred persons. All the positivity, the appreciation, the smiles, the ideas, the energy.
I got to end-keynote the thing and then top it off with more drinks and countless friends - again.
I'm drained now, but in a good way. I'll be back next year.

my wife said something about Epstein that is completely correct:
it isn't that he's the epicentre of everything bad in the world. it's that he's the only rich fucker's texts we're being allowed to read.
all of the world's billionaires are, evidently, in a death-rape-cult.

As a software developer I know that creating working software is difficult. It's so easy to introduce a small bug somewhere and then nothing works. This may however contribute to how annoyed I get when software has obvious quality of life gaps that are just so incredibly obvious and not at all difficult to implement.
My Marantz receiver has HEOS. They're actually making quite a big deal out of it. HEOS is a thing that can stream music. If I put on music via HEOS, then it immediately starts playing. Great! Except for the tiny fact that it takes the receiver 8 seconds to turn on. So when I put on a track, when the receiver is off, then I'm missing the first 8 seconds of the track. Or rather, I did, until I added a Wiim (in a misunderstood attempt at getting Tidal to work properly, which it still doesn't). Now, when I start playing something on the Wiim, #homeassistant turns on the receiver, pauses the playback for 8 seconds, and then resumes the music.
This is obvious people!
