Fuck Microsoft and Fuck Nadella.

As expected, the 24H2 update installed 'Recall', it can't be uninstalled.

To disable the Microcoft spyware, run this as admin

Can't vouch that all the people you share your screen, code, IP, private details, will disable theirs. consider NOT sharing anything ever again.

I remember some people expressing how annoyed they were with people reimplementing standard command line tools in Rust. But here is the reality of such reimplementations: hachyderm.io/@cliffle/11332081…

It isn’t just the memory safety. The reimplementations typically turn out much simpler, partly because of a more high-level language and partly because of usable dependency management.

If you have 20 times less code to maintain, you can do a lot more with it. Adding “nice to haves” like output coloring in C requires considerable effort, improving usability of these tools in Rust on the other hand is a no-brainer. That’s e.g. why duf and dust can present the output better than df and du.

And there are performance wins at almost zero cost. That’s partly due to relying on well-optimized libraries instead of own reimplementations (yes, dependency management again). But taking advantage of multi-threading and modern CPU features seems much easier in Rust as well.

There's a handy command line tool, fdupes, for scanning a filesystem for duplicate files and optionally removing them. It's about 6kloc of C. That seemed like kind of a fun little toy problem for this evening, so I wrote a little work-alike in Rust.

Digitale Erpressung durch App-Zwang: Immer mehr Dienste zwingen uns zur Nutzung von Apps – und das auf Kosten unserer Daten und Wahlfreiheit. Ob Online-Banking, Bonusprogramme oder Rabatte, ohne App geht oft nichts mehr. Datenschutz bleibt dabei auf der Strecke, während die Abhängigkeit von wenigen Großkonzernen wächst. Es ist höchste Zeit, Alternativen zu fordern und die digitale Selbstbestimmung zu bewahren! #AppZwang #Datenschutz #DigitaleFreiheit

Running #chatmail servers is <2h effort per month, according to an ad-hoc poll with 10 operators responding. Some have 10Ks of #deltachat users. Typically 300MB ram is used and max 60gb disc space per server. And all interoperate safely based on high security standards (DKIM and TLS enforced, and only no-metadata #openpgp encrypted messages allowed) .... with typically 0.5 secs end-to-end delivery. Who said again that email is insecure, cumbersome and slow? :)
Screenshot of 10 chatmail operators polled about "admin hours spent last month" with two saying "0 hours" and 8 saying "less than 2 hours" with none spending more.

@Jage ah yeah interesting, didn't realize they're a Polish company. Wanted to pick one up for my partner - they like the portability of the smaller displays. Looking at the Dealer page they list some in Mexico for North America, and their UK dealer does not list the product which was odd and thwarted me from finding a price. (braillepen.com/contact/) - suppose I'll also fill that form out and see what they get back to me with.

I just released reproducible-apk-tools v0.3.0 :nkotada:

github.com/obfusk/reproducible…

Mostly small improvements, e.g. the AXML parser now supports offset16/compact/sparse ResTable type/entry, no major changes. I have not yet found a test case for FLAG_SPARSE, so support is untested and help is appreciated!

NB: this release changes the license from GPLv3+ to AGPLv3+.


Release v0.3.0 · obfusk/reproducible-apk-tools

• change license from GPLv3+ to AGPLv3+. • binres.py: support offset16, compact, FLAG_SPARSE (untested) etc. • binres.py: small fixes, warn "please file an issue" for untested/notimplemented code. ...

Доступна платформа совместной разработки Forgejo 9.0, перешедшая на лицензию GPLv3

Опубликован выпуск платформы совместной разработки Forgejo 9.0, позволяющей развернуть на своих серверах систему для совместной работы с репозиториями Git, напоминающую по решаемым задачам GitHub, Bitbucket и Gitlab. Forgejo является форком проекта Gitea, который в свою очередь ответвился от платформы Gogs. Отделение Forgejo произошло в 2022 году после попыток коммерциализации Gitea и перехода управления в руки коммерческой компании. Проект Forgejo придерживается принципов независимого управления и подконтрольности сообществу. На использование Forgejo перешёл Git-хостинг Codeberg.org. Код проекта написан на языке Go и распространяется под лицензией MIT.
