Drei Fragen und Antworten: Technischer Wandel – von der K-9- zur Thunderbird-App
Die Umstellung von K-9 Mail zu Thunderbird hat zwei Jahre in Anspruch genommen, doch das Team hat eine gute Balance dafür gefunden, meint Philipp Kewisch.Wolf Hosbach (heise online)
one little question from me: how come Thunderbird for Android has telemetry that goes to Google Firebase and there is no option in the settings that I could find that disables this?
Edit: I found out that it was coming from the Google OAuth login, Thunderbird's telemetry can be disabled from the settings but I don't have that toggle because I'm using the F-Droid version which removes telemetry entirely.
i use K9-Mail on Android since ... forever ;) Is the Thunderbird for Android App from the same develeopers as K9? Does it make sense to switch apps? Why do both Clients coexist if Thunderbird for Android is based on K9 and Changes from Thunderbird get included into K9?
if someone has quick answers i'd appreciate it 🙈
🚨 Update on DDoS attacks 🚨
Earlier this month, Tuta suffered multiple DDoS attacks. But we will not let anyone stop you from using secure & private emails. We’ve strengthened our defenses & are now more resilient than ever. 💪
Thank you for your patience & trust as we continue this fight for privacy together. ❤️

Explanation on recent DDoS attacks & why we do not use third-parties for mitigation. | Tuta
Protecting against DDoS attacks is an integral part of our engineering practices and we architect and design our systems in a way that we minimize attack surfaces.Tuta
Thanks for the update! It's an interesting tradeoff to potentially let a third party decrypt the incoming traffic to get less to maintain yourselves, but of course much better to build your own solution and keep full control. Especially for a critical service.
It would be interesting to learn about first-party #DDoS mitigation techniques that could be used in other projects where #E2EE is essential. However, I suspect the implementation details used for Tuta can't be shared publicly.

“Built-in” accessibility: blessing or curse? by Hidde de Vries
“We’ll build in accessibility”, they say. But what does “built-in” actually mean? Whether it’s in standards, browser functionality, web platform features or design system components… the reality could be anywhere from an enormous opportunity to a hug…talks.hiddedevries.nl

Five years ago I improved #curl testing by randomly skipping some tests! This concept is still in use today.

How randomly skipping tests made them better!
In the curl project we produce and ship a rock solid and reliable library for the masses, we must never exit, leak memory or do anything in an ungraceful manner.daniel.haxx.se
Reminder that "sometime not long after December 15th", the botsin.space server, a home to many of your favorite creative bots, will be entering a read-only mode, before its planned shutdown.
(The server will run until at least March 2025.)

Hope most of you bot admins managed to migrate by now!

The CVE-2024-11053 Sunday shenanigans, a short recap in case you missed them:
Tempting to suggest that curl CVEs would default to a score of 11 ... Or an odd float value, just to hint about the issues related the CVSS scoring.
Unfortunately, most likely too many will not grasp the sarcasm of doing so.
Day 16 - #adventOfIOSAccessibility. A reminder that the more modes we use to convey important information, the more likely it is that all users will perceive it. Consider a combination. of color, icons, messages, sound, haptics, animations, etc.
When is the last time you heard of a black man killing a white, homeless man on the subway, and then getting invited to a festive event by the Vice President?
Oh… that never happened?
That is strange, because a white man killing a black, homeless man on the subway just got invited to a festive event… by the incoming Vice President.
Nuts!
FindMyDevice je open-source služba pro nalezení ztraceného mobilu
infoek.cz/findmydevice-je-open…
V dnešní době se nevyplácí krást mobilní telefony, jelikož mohou obsahovat různé bezpečnostní aplikace. Každý chytrý mobil má již od výrobce funkci pro jeho nalezení v případě ztráty. Funguje to dobře a zachránit to může mobil za několik desítek tisíc Kč. Kam ale tato data o mém pohybu na mapě vlastně tečou? Samozřejmě většinou do Googlu, Applu a dalších velkých společností. Někomu to vůbec nevadí, což je v pořádku, ale někomu to zkrátka vadí. Jaká je alternativa?
