Hello students in Germany. Anyone interested in a student job at Mozilla? The Cryptography Engineering team is looking for someone fluent in C/C++ and English. Experience in cryptography is a bonus.
Applicants must be living in Germany and enrolled in a university here.
@ecn Network Framework sounds quirky indeed and I imagine it might take some unpleasant hacks to use that. I can imagine we'll see some efforts in that direction in the future.
@BradRubenstein we don't break existing functionality so upgrading curl is rarely a technical issue, just some lame problems with users getting stuck on old distros and running old systems.
@BradRubenstein we have dropped support for several 3rd party libs in the past. We have changed defaults so that for example SSLv2 and SSLv3 can't be used etc.
@BradRubenstein curl currently supports twelve different TLS libraries. This discussion concerns three of them. Which maybe by the time next year might no longer be all three...
Store the state of the thread-shared entropy for global init/cleanup.
Use curl's thread support of mbedtls for all Windows builds instead of just when the threaded resolver is used via USE_THREAD...
@hidden TL;DR: ... I fully understand that projects are ditching mbed TLS these days. It's generally not moving fast enough forward and lingering behind on important standards and even lacking support for features OpenSSL users takes for granted.
Longer read ...
We've just recently been through similar challenges in OpenVPN projects too. We've recently added support for mbedtls-3.0 and newer, which was held back due to licensing issues; Apache 2.0 and GPL has some challenges.
To my knowledge, not much has happened since this time.
Yes, mbed TLS development has improved over the last years. But it's essentially not moving fast enough; their backlog is just too overwhelming. Considering it even performs a lot worse than OpenSSL (especially on CPUs with accelerators available), the performance gap is just giving any reasons to look at mbed TLS any more. And it even has a general feature gap compared to what OpenSSL is capable of as well. Unfortunately.
PolarSSL (before it got acquired by ARM and the mbed organisation) had some progress and moved forward. And at that time, the OpenSSL was not properly funded.
Now OpenSSL is now properly funded, better organised and having paid staff managing and developing the project. So the table has turned. mbed TLS moves very slowly forward (feels understaffed) ... So OpenSSL seems now to be in a far better position than mbed TLS is.
@dazo @hidden These problems were on our radar. We’ve recently done an audit of the mbedTLS support in curl and we’re wrapping up the fixes and features to bring it to parity with the other better supported TLS libs (OpenSSL, SChannel,etc.). I’ll post a draft PR of our work in the next couple of weeks.
On this day, twenty-two years ago, we shipped #curl 7.9.5 which introduced CURLOPT_PREQUOTE and the %{content_type} variable for -w - among other things.
The Chinese foreign minister added that the ’long-cherished wish’ of the Palestinian people to create an independent country can no longer be ignored and that ’the historical injustice suffered by the Palestinian people cannot continue for generation…
I had cause to look up the Confucius quote about age today. It's been remarkably accurate for me.
“At fifteen I set my heart upon learning. At thirty, I had planted my feet firm upon the ground. At forty, I no longer suffered from perplexities. At fifty, I knew the biddings of Heaven. At sixty, I heard them with docile ear. At seventy, I could follow the dictates of my own heart; for what I desired no longer overstepped the boundaries of right.”
Světoznámý balík aplikací Simple Mobile Tools mění majitele • Izrealská firma umazala koncové „es“ a přidala reklamy • Je čas najít alternativy nebo stáhnout aplikace z F-Droidu
Alternativy jsou, vznikl fork. Otázkou je, kolik aplikací v rámci forku přežije. Na vše určitě síly nebudou. Já vlastně používám je galerii, navíc jsem tehdy podpořil i dobrovolnou platbou. Uvidíme. @fdroidorg
@brabitom @F-Droid @Martin Kroul Naveen Singh je okrem Tibora Kaputu, ktorý potichu zrealizoval predaj simple mobile tools druhý najaktívnejší prispievateľ a stojí tiež za forkom Fossify apps. Myslím si, že to do budúcna bude v pohode. Ďalšia zaujímavá skupina jednoduchých aplikácii je You apps s podobnou filozofiou ale trošku iným technickým pozadím you-apps.net/
@amarok Jj už ho mám i s kalendářem od nich. Je to stejné jako Gallerie Simple mobiles, aplikaci jsem používal jsem několik let. Na Fdroidu pravidelné aktualizace.
I'm wondering if the storm ready extender is different than the pod. I'm assuming it is but perhaps I should not assume. I have one pod in play here and by and large it's working well though sometimes as I move about the house only the iPhone sometimes when streaming will stop and if I unlock it it'll reconnect to either the main gateway or the pod I know not which and continue on. Can't decide if I should try a second pod or if it's just an iPhone
@robini71 The pod is just an extender for the Wi-Fi network. The storm-ready device switches you over to cellular if Wi-FI goes out. I thought about ordering the storm-ready device but the layoffs happened and it then wasn't a priority. If I decide to keep Comcast I still may do it as I'm once again working and am heavily dependent on my Internet connection although I could use my phone as a hotspot if I needed to.
Yes, I thought the two devices were different. I understand. I haven’t decided what I will do yet either. Would you actually switch Internet providers completely? Or are you remaining with them for that?
Stelo is meant for those with Type 2 diabetes as well as people who want more insight into their blood sugar levels. Here's how biosensors are growing in 2024.
One point I’m always at pains to make to my web design students is that accessibility isn’t an add-on to your design. You have to be as inclusive as possible from the outset.
Anyway, I thought this was a great article on designing for people with colour blindness:
Color accessibility is more than just ticking boxes. Even with good contrast, some color palettes can make interfaces challenging for users. Here are some practical guidelines to ensure more inclusive design for colorblind people.
@jcsteh Is there a tutorial or training on using these tools? I don't need to very often, and mostly only end up in it after accidentally hitting F12, but visually I find it a massive wall of text with no idea what I'm looking at. I would like to have a better understanding of it though (As I say, I don't need to look at web code very often. I learnt to write websites in HTML with a text editor, and only more recently started finding my way around WordPress - but it would be useful for work now and then).
@Quentin When you open the Developer Tools for the first time, you're probably seeing the JS console. There are different panels you can access, including the Accessibility panel. Here's some documentation for the Accesibility panel. Happy to answer questions if you have any. firefox-source-docs.mozilla.or… @caspar
@jcsteh Thanks Jamie! It probably doesn't help that often when I've looked at it, I don't have a specific goal - or I don't know how to use it so have the WRONG type of goal - will check out the docs though, thank you!
@Quentin @jcsteh My point of entry is usually from a specific point on a website, where something isn’t accessible, via the context menu, where I can explore the accessibility properties of the element I right-clicked on. From there, it is a snap to also go to the HTML tree of said element, and vice versa. I wrote a blog post about this inspector when it initially came out, but some of its information might be out of date by now. marcozehe.de/introducing-the-a…
@Quentin @Marco sadly, as much as I wish it were otherwise, the accessibility panel hasn’t received much further development since those articles were written.
@jcsteh @Quentin @Marco I wonder if one reason is that the tools have been so poorly promoted. Loads of developers and designers seem never to have heard of them. If the tools had a higher profile, there'd be more of an outcry over their neglect.
I'd also flag that Mozilla is competing against the likes of Apple, Google and Microsoft. Given the sheer, unchecked size of those three companies and their ability to leverage their platforms to push their products, that is an incredibly difficult battle. @Quentin @Marco
@Marco @Quentin @jcsteh Good article Marco — thanks! On a quick read through I can't see anything that's obviously out of date. I like your point about the inspector not being an evaluation tool as such, though it’s clearly a great place to start.

This morning in Mexico City, during President López Obrador's daily press conference, students from Ayotzinapa and family members of the disappeared protested outside the National Palace and smashed in one of its doors. Military police responded by firing tear gas.
Since February 26, the parents of the 43 disappeared from Ayotzinapa have been encamped in front of the National Palace, demanding a dialog with López Obrador, the handing over of military documents, and the return of the Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts (GIEI).
Next week, @ScientistRebellion will be at the Nordic #Oikos 2024 conference in Lund, Sweden. We'll hold 2 workshops, discussing ways scientists can change tactics and re-embrace #advocacy and #activism in the #Climate and #EcologicalEmergency. We will also feature an #NVDA training. Everyone is welcome!
Tuesday March 12th at 13:30-15:30, Biology building, Sölvegatan 35, Lund. Room: D215 Cerebrum
Friday March 15th at 13:30-15:30, Ecology Building, Sölvegatan 37, Lund. Room: Heden (G110)
I suspect you may not have meant what you came across as meaning when you tagged #NVDA? If you ARE providing training using our screen reader (which is called NVDA) to make your actions for climate change accessible to blind people, then we applaud you!
(Did you perhaps mean NVDA as an acronym for non-violent direct action? I only know the acronym in trying to figure out posts like this, #NVDA is much more commonly used to refer to our screen reader)
StatCounter reported that desktop Linux reached over 4% market share for the first time. I've used Linux for years. Here's why I think it's finally catching on with more people.
This ought to be good. Is this the same Pablo Reguerín who was sitting alongside Chancellor May at an interview with The California Aggie's editorial where May lobbied for the student fee supporting NCAA athlete perqs by likening NCAA athletes to disabled students by saying they too needed "special" supports? And didn't say anything about that? That Reguerín?
Do you know who was among the chancellors who never replied to hundreds of emails regarding UC's ableism? Chancellor May of UC Davis!! @disability @academicchatter
Disabled students don't only PAY to be on campus - no free ride disability scholarship - UC has a legal obligation it continues flouting to be fully accessible to the public funding it. Arguing that the student body should pay fees to support a small % of student athletes/future mega sports corp employees who are given special tutors, a special health building, and other perqs already is not only patently ridiculous, but by likening it in this way to how UC chooses to segregate disabled students instead of being highest common denominator of accessible by default is bound to further encourage resentment of disabled students as a "cost"!
This unassuming mobility aid - the Glide resembles a mini vacuum cleaner - has a lofty goal: Transform lives of the visually impaired by providing smart assistance for navigating the world.
Reddit signed a deal with Google to use its data to train LLMs. To celebrate, we made a firefox extension that lets you replace all your comments with any text of your choosing. All we ask is that you not choose something copyrighted. The New York Times is currently suing OpenAI for training ChatGPT on its copyrighted material, and we wouldn't want Reddit's uniquely valuable data to become hopelessly intermingled with that of litigious copyright-holders.
@Seirdy IIRC they were rolling back edits from the previous protest wave (albeit not sure if intentionally or due to a replication/backup bug), so they've definitely demonstrated they have the resources
still true: the revolution will not be televised. this particular one will not happen on big tech's devices nor with their software. @purism sounds like a promising alternative
Hi there everyone, please boost. I've been sending this around in different places to indevidual people, but I figure, now that the book has been out for a while, its about time I put it up publicly. My dad wrote a book some time ago that is essentially a resource guide that helps people with disabilities find jobs or look to find resources to maximize there benefits. It is a step by step guide on what to do, how to find jobs, how to maximize your SSI/SSDi benefits, and how to get on the job market. its completely free and available for anyone to use. If you follow this guide, I am confident that you will be able to find what you seek job-wise. I know I am a little bit biased because my dad wrote it, but I feel like its worth putting out there anyway. There is no advertising whatsoever, we aren't looking for any sort of things in return, in fact, my dad even put his own personal number in the book for those who follow the steps and read the book to call him so he can help you find a job as well because he's helped many many people find jobs who have disabilities, his most recent success being a person with a High School Diploma and nothing more going from making less than $30000 to now making just over $100000 at his job. here it is: respectability.org/people-with… If you read the book, please feel free to reach out to me so I can also get you in contact as he's in Pacific time whereas I am not and its better if I text him first to let him know someone will call him, because he usually doesn't answer random calls especially with his job and his other stuff going on. #Blind #disability #Accessibility #Jobs #Employment #SSI
For IRC lovers who also happen to love and use Linux, I have some good news for you! I have created hooks for the Smuxi IRC client that add sound support for message events. So far only send and receive are supported along with a different sound if your name is mentioned in a message, but more are on the way! Smuxi is extremely accessible, Orca supports auto reading of messages received and sent automatically, the only thing missing was sound support. Instructions on using the hooks as well as the hooks themselves are here: github.com/destructatron/smuxi… #Linux #Accessibility

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •yeah :/ TLS Inspector uses it but I'll probably switch it to using OpenSSL instead going forward.
The replacement, Network Framework, is vastly different and mostly asynchronous. Kinda a pain to work with really.
