LibreOffice 7.5 is revving up at the start line, ahead of the green light for its release in early February! Help us to test the development versions beforehand: qa.blog.documentfoundation.org…
LibreOffice 7.5 will be released as final at the beginning of February, 2023 ( Check the Release Plan ) being LibreOffice 7.5 Release Candidate 2 (RC2) the forth and final pre-release since the development of version 7.5 started in mid June, 2022.
While the EFF debunks the "public wifi is dangeous" myth, I login to a company's guest wifi with a tiny little bit of paper (which I have to photograph and zoom in to be able to read the password) to then get a network connection which supports TCP/443 only. (Yes, girls and boys, neither SSH nor mail submission or any other of those pesky protocols)
If you follow security on the Internet, you may have seen articles warning you to “beware of public Wi-Fi networks" in cafes, airports, hotels, and other public places.
At least if the company is not in the middle of nowhere, there is very likely a decent 4G/5G coverage with open internet access and usually even faster. With today's data plans most of these guest networks make very little sense.
I've asked it in a poll in 8/2021 at Mastodon.technology, now it's time for a refresher: To improve #security I finally consider to really drop support for #TLS 1.0/1.1 (see blog.qualys.com/product-tech/2… and e.g. ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.ht…). This basically would affect devices running Android < 4.4. As I do not want to lock anybody out, I'd like to see how many of you would this effect.
🇩🇪 Noch wer mit Android < 4.4 unterwegs und somit auf TLS 1.0/1.1 angewiesen (1. ja, 2. macht nix, 3. nein)?
Update 1/31/2020: The grade change is now live on www.ssllabs.com. Servers that support TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1 are capped to B grade. Update 1/16/2020: The grade change is now live on the development…
@stevelord This has nothing to do with APKs, it's about my websites. And some of those are on topics around Android, visited by many folks with mobile devices.
TLS 1.0/1.1 have been deprecated around 2018. TLS 1.1 was implemented with Android 4.4.2. Older devices don't support it out-of-the-box, but app developers can integrate a library for that.
So the question is really just about 1) website visitors and 2) access to my F-Droid repo from Android devices. Not about the APKs provided there.
@samsy well, Kitkat was released when? 10/2013. That 1% must be using something before that, i.e. JellyBean (4.3: 7/2013) or older. Those devices are at least 10 years old and haven't seen any security updates in ages. They should better not be connected to the Internet any more at all (no blaming).
I have one such device still in use here, but just as a night stand (a 2010 Motorola Milestone 2, thanks to CM running Kitkat). Don't use that for network stuff, just clock & alarm.
@oausi no, doesn't. I wait for the tail to disappear so I can turn the old stuff off 🙊 Honestly, I boost to make the results more representative due to more votes. I state I didn't want to leave anyone behind – so if it's just 1..2 people, I'd ask to contact me personally to see if we can sort it out. I at least want to see if I can offer some work-around then – but I cannot carry along those old protocols forever. Yes, I was hoping for a zero there…
@nick Tried that (toggling the boost button twice). It complained that… WTF, guess it just meant I should wait for some of the "routing posts" @alcinnz mentioned. I just tried again and it worked. Thanks to both of you! Without your comments I wouldn't have tried again 🙈
@iameru It's just about my servers. I do not have the powers to remove it "everywhere". But I want to provide the best security I can manage – so removing of deprecated old TLS versions is one thing on my todo list, yes. Ideally without locking anyone out.
@iameru In a way yes. With the difference that that's no security issue. And honestly: humans can remember their home network addresses all start with e.g. 192.168.1. and their router probably has the 1 (and their main PC the 2) appended – but did you even remember a single IPv6 address?
🇩🇪 OK, keine große Mehrheit für die Beibehaltung von TLS 1.0/1.1, wie es scheint. Vielleicht können sich die 2-4 Betroffenen (~1% von 345) ja kurz melden, ob sich eine Lösung für Euch finden ließe? Wer sich nicht "öffentlich outen" möchte, auch gern per DM.
🇺🇸 obviously no big majority to keep TLS 1.0/1.1. Maybe the 2..4 people affected (~1% of 345) could contact me to see if there's a solution for them? DM of course OK if you don't want to "go public".
@radasbona Ja, so eins ist bei mir auch noch im Einsatz, komplett offline, nur als eBook-Readr. Bestückung via USB – das sollte auch für Filme funktionieren. Mein ältestes Gerät ist von 2010, hat aber Dank CyanogenMod noch Android 4.4 bekommen. Die Tabbis mit 4.1/4.2 habe ich eigentlich so gut wie nie im Einsatz, mein "Lesebuch" hat Android 5.1.
Running #archlinux ! After 3 wonderful and mostly problem-free years with #manjaro I decided to move forward and do what I've been putting off for so long and try Arch ... after much consideration I've decided to forego any installation script and get the full experience with manual installation. I got it right on the first try. It's not as hard as some rumors say ... 😎
Congratulations. It is not so hard and wiki is very helpfull with every step. And the bonus is, you have a complete freedom and control over the system layout/security...
@stepan Thanks. 😀 Yeah, the Arch wiki is great and legendary! It was actually one of the main reasons I switched - most of the wiki works on Manjaro, but with some file layouts being different, it's not 100%.

I know it is not going to resonate much with people in English speaking countries, but this has been a major issue for people who use alphabets with special characters (my native Czech included).
For years #PDF viewers on #Linux such as #Evince couldn't save characters outside the basic charsets in PDF forms. It turned out to be a complex problem and multi-year effort, but it's finally done and you can use unicode in PDF forms. First available in #Fedora 37 where we've already backported it.
What's even better than top-notch #LibreOffice documentation? The answer is: LibreOffice documentation in many languages! Our Czech community just finished translating the latest guide for Calc: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl…

This happens when launching the latest Winstaller beta; you launch it and then after seeming to check for updates and initialize, the program simply closes.

In a world where Exchange has no serious competition in work life, IMAP is not the way to go. TB should embrace EWS, EAS or MAPI
'Culture is molded on social networks, it sucks to lose out on a shared social language because you can’t see the images everyone is talking about.' Snip from a wonderful article linked below. Please include more alt-text in your posts. It helps out greatly. Thanks. theverge.com/2021/7/30/2258754…
Accessibility on social networks like Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok hasn’t fully caught up, and the results can sound ridiculous. Automatic alt text based on machine learning doesn’t quite cut it.
@BlindGordon this is funny coming from the verge. Their website and blog posts are awful about adding alt text for their images. Irony aside, it’s nice to see a main stream publication encouraging people to write image descriptions for the blind. #Blind #Social #ImageDescription

Nota para la gente con interés en ciberseguridad y derecho europeo. Se publica la Directiva (UE) 2022/2555, relativa a las medidas destinadas a garantizar un elevado nivel común de ciberseguridad en toda la Unión, por la que se modifican el Reglamento (UE) n.o 910/2014 y la Directiva (UE) 2018/1972 y por la que se deroga la Directiva (UE) 2016/1148 (Directiva SRI 2). La tenemos en EUR-LEX y ya en el BOE. eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-conten…
Estoy mirándola todavía. Fuera del contexto de las AAPP que solo nos afecta a los funcionarios, conviene tener el cuenta que se aplica también a las entidades críticas definidas en el anexo de la Directiva (UE) 2022/2057, y en el apartado 8 vienen toda una serie de servicios informáticos: centros de datos, proveedores de nube, de confianza, de DNS, registros de nombres de dominios, etc etc.
Entre las cosas interesantes que he visto hasta ahora, definición de cuasiincidente: podría haber pasado algo malo, pero no llegó a pasar. También se regula una base de datos europea de vulnerabilidades, y equipos de respuesta a incidentes de seguridad informática en cada Estado miembro. También se crea EU-Cyclone, como red de cooperación para respuesta a ciberincidentes.
Lo más interesante son las obligaciones de notificación, a los equipos de respuesta y a los usuarios finales potencialmente afectados. Además habrá que hacer informes de análisis tras resolver los incidentes.
Eso sí, todo esto no entra en vigor hasta que lo traspongan los Estados miembros.

The state of maturin/pyo3 is absolutely brilliant. The fact that writing Rust bindings for Python is so easy now really makes me much more optimistic about the utility of Python going forward. The experimental MiniJinja Python bindings are tiny and use zero unsafe code. github.com/mitsuhiko/minijinja…
Aún no había compartido por aquí la playlist con la ruta de #lavaderos que organicé en @casatiajulia hace unos años. Vino mi amiga Bea, que es antropóloga (especialista en lavaderos, como espacios de socialización femenina) y las señoras del pueblo vinieron al salir de misa. Intenté negociar con el cura la hora de la misa para que no me contraprogramara pero no hubo forma. Al final lo anunciamos con un cartel improvisado en la puerta de la iglesia #mujeres #rural #soria
Interesting: there's a growing movement to rescind jaywalking laws in Washington, mainly because they don't improve pedestrian or driver safety at all. They are used as a pretext by cops to hassle POC. freetowalkwa.org/

intro! I'm Garrett, a PhD student at Montana State. I'm interested in homotopy type theory and proof assistants (particularly on the "assistant" side, e.g. streamlining their use, implications on written proofs and math communication). besides math, I've played viola for most of my life (and also play piano and percussion, and would *like* to start writing music and poetry), and enjoy watching movies, cooking/baking, playing board games and video games (especially Splatoon!), and hugging friends
Really interested in formal methods and mechanised proofs. Unfortunately I'm mostly a self-learner so my knowledge is spotty and my foundations are not as good as they should be. Trying to go through the introduction to homotopy type theory this year.
Yep, that's the one. I like that it starts at the beginning with the type-theory and Martin-Löf stuff. It's a good refresher for me and I always learn a few new things. Get tripped on silly stuff, like I was confused about how the context had only type judgements and nothing about how to construct the types themselves until I learned somewhere else that the rules to construct a type don't go in the context. But slowly I am learning more.

This is a repository of apps to be used with F-Droid. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github).
Before and after I made the door system at the #makerspace ✨different✨.
The RFID reader ended up dying on us, and replacement readers weren't getting along with the ancient custom-built door system. Thankfully, we had an extra #Arduino Uno laying around to bypass the legacy control circuitry (we lost the original source ages ago).
It just needs to last until the lease expires in 5 months, then it can catch fire. For the time being though, this Arduino is load-bearing infrastructure
