If you want to see somewhat live video impressions of what's going on in #iran this is a good thread todon.eu/@b9AcE/11586686329160ā€¦

Something interesting Iā€™ve noticed. I canā€™t speak for fedi as a whole, but Iā€™m not seeing the quote post feature used as much as I thought I would. I know of only two or three people who use it regularly.
This isnā€™t a post for or against the feature. Iā€™m just surprised I havenā€™t seen more people using it, especially since people have been requesting it for years.

I've pushed a couple of #NVDARC updates. The Mac build I sent for review yesterday adding a self hosting option for be controlled mode is now live, plus a few more improvements/fixes to said mode as well. On iOS, some improvements to custom shortcuts, Gesture presets and a bug where if you had sticky modifiers disabled and sent a letter from the type text keyboard with modifiers down would result in the modifiers not going back up is also fixed. testflight.apple.com/join/edg8ā€¦

Our stance simplified: we want to make private communications available to anyone on the planet.

Problem: governments everywhere tend to want to control and contain private communications. While Iran and Russia might be contemporary poster examples trying to control private communication, almost all of the "Western" countries have similar control-tendencies, EU Chatcontrol, UK Online Safety Act, US KOSA etc.pp. And we often call those out. Without private communication, things are bleak.

Delta Chat

@jrp mostly, it works, yes, despite various state attempts to block it. and we are working on making it harder, based on some R&D heavy revisions of how delta chat actually works internally. Last big change was delta.chat/en/2025-08-04-encryā€¦ which is in fact enabling another level of resilience and decentralization but that will be published about in a future blog post likely in spring 2026.

Delta Chat: Delta Chat V2: a major security upgrade, beautified contact profiles, new email action and direct app access in chats

With Delta Chat Version 2, chats are end-to-end encrypted, always and by default. Previously it was possible that chats without green checkmarks could contain messages without end-to-end encryption...

@felixule Spoiler I didn't mess around with removing switches or anything yet. I'm still kinda pissed I even have to do that with a 230ā‚¬ board. I think the Q6Max was just a bad production, I mean there are enough happy people with other Keychron boards, heck if it wasn't for that issue I'd probably picked up a V6Max for work by now but idk if I really want to spend money on this kind of boards atm.

One of the teenagers I work with is taking an interest in computers/networking. We're emailing about why you can't access home servers from outside your network, and how websites can be accessed from anywhere. Does anyone have a good analogy for LANs, private IP blocks, DNS, name servers, and accessing it all? Nothing I can come up with is a very good fit.

Edit: yes, another adult is copied on all emails. I know the CPP regulations, including the recent updates, and have passed advanced CP.

The Matrix.org Foundation

@bloodaxe yup, understood. the fact is that Matrix as a protocol supports all the same functionality as Discord (and then some), with the possible exception of arbitrary permission combinations (Matrix uses a permission hierarchy rather than purely role based permissions). Video/voice rooms for instance are demoā€™d by element.io/blog/drop-in-drop-oā€¦ but clients like Element havenā€™t shipped them as theyā€™re prioritising other stuff.

Element welcomes Video Rooms and a new search experience!

We're so excited to announce that Video Rooms is entering beta in Element, just as a new Room Search is exiting beta!

#Signal a deux dƩfauts, et ils sont politiques :

Check out this SendGrid account phishing message I received today.

The email claims that SendGrid will be adding a 'Support ICE' link to every email sent via their platform.

Of course 99.99% of orgs would want to opt-out if it were real, so this is an incredible lure to get SendGrid creds.

Also, if the bad guys are using opting out of supporting your organization as a lure, you know you done fucked up.

#infosec

Phishing: We're writing to inform you of an important update to our email platform in response to recent events. As part of our commitment to supporting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), we will be adding a "Support ICE" donation button to the footer of every email sent through our platform. This button will appear automatically in all outgoing emails starting next week. What This Means for You All emails sent from your account will include the Support ICE footer element Recipients can click to donate directly to ICE support programs This change helps us demonstrate our platform's civic commitment Opt-Out Available If you prefer not to include this footer in your emails, you can disable it in your account settings.

Question: what are y'all using as secret service on #Linux? (With #Wayland and #sway, if that matters.)

I did not like #GNOME #Keyring, because that pulled in tons of stuff I didn't want.

I'm currently using #KeePassXC, but let's just say it's a much better password manager than a Secret Service. (e.g., it can't remember authorized binaries over a session, and handling multiple databases isn't great.)

Ideally, I want something that does only this, but does it well.

And now I'm learning Typst. AFAICT it's like Markdown with functions and PDF output, or a less noisy but just as powerful LaTeX. Found it looking for something that could generate invoices without me having to dig up someone's LaTeX template from GitHub and shoehorn my text into whatever format it expects. In addition to typesetting documents, I can store invoices as data in recutils, pipe out that data as a Typst document using the invoice template, then convert to PDF. Not sure of an easy way to do this in plain Markdown, and LaTeX would require a bunch of other noise plus using someone's random template. Apparently the Typst templates have visual regression tests too, presumably meaning I wouldn't have that one odd experience where for some reason my LaTeX invoice was pink and I had no clue why. Fun times.

I was using pdflatex to generate receipts for product purchases on my website, and I found it didn't have very good international multilingual unicode support. I found wkhtmltopdf, which works great for me. On a digitalocean debian server, I'm producing receipts that closely mimic my on-line HTML receipts in 16 languages. I highly recommend wkhtmltopdf.
