Kupoval jsem s dcerou před pár dny vánoční stromeček. Chtěla, abych koupil trochu větší než obvykle. Prodavač mi říká "nechcete ten kmen dole zúžit?", já říkám "to je dobrý, máme velký stojánek a kdyžtak si to osekám". Sekyrkou je to přece hračka.

Dnes jsem se do toho dal a dost jsem se opotil, když vidím, že ten stojánek zas tak velký není, a když jsem si uvědomil, že tu trampskou sekyrku, kterou jsem měl úplně jasně před očima u toho prodavače stromků, jsem vlastnil naposledy před asi čtvrtstoletím.

Nakonec jsem vzal ten nejtěžší kuchyňský nůž a udělal z něj mačetu. Kůra a lýko šla dobře, dřevo a suky hůř, ale už to za chvíli bude. Jsem přece bojovník, že ano.

"One fun anecdote is that companies or governments will often say they need months or years to prepare (CLEAN UP) code for open sourcing. Because on the inside, people allow themselves far worse code than they’d prefer to share with the outside world. Open source code often has higher standards, and it is a great mechanism of keeping you on track."

Day 23 - #adventOfIOSAccessibility. Sometimes your UI will just not optimally scale for large text sizes. Simple changes, for accessibility sizes, like composing elements vertically instead of horizontally, reducing the number of columns, and allowing more lines of text, can do the trick most times.

So with all the scam baiters we've been watching, my partner got us the couples Aura membership. This morning I got an e-mail: "Important, Aura, We contacted 21 data brokers to have your info removed, 5:20 AM, Learn how Aura is protecting your information Hi , Data brokers (also known as people search sites) expose you to junk mail and spam calls by selling your data."
At first the $200/year (couples) membership for it felt like a lot, even if there's a trial. Sadly the more of a modern society we live in though, these services are becoming so essential - not just data broker monitoring, but also the credit fraud and identity theft prevention, VPN, and if you want, their own antivirus software built-in to their interface.
It's fairly accessible, sometimes the labels can be verbose. Sadly an XAML-based app that sometimes likes the read out the internal object names of UX elements, that kind of deal. I still say though, if you want peace of mind for your data and knowing what's up with it on the dark web, get Aura, you won't regret it. We used aura.com/kitboga because we love Kit.

I just released version 0.1.0 of rsop-oct, a new stateless #OpenPGP ("SOP") CLI tool that focuses exclusively on use with OpenPGP card hardware devices:

crates.io/crates/rsop-oct/0.1.…

Like its sibling project #rsop, rsop-oct is based on @rpgp

In the next release of rsop, OpenPGP card functionality will be removed from it.
The goal is to offer clear UX in two distinct simple CLI tools, as opposed to one combined and confusing CLI tool.

For more on #SOP, see datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft…

I looked up the enterprise management features of the Firefox and Chrome browsers and wrote down how to turn off the advertising features once by installing the right config files in the right places. Not hard and affects all accounts and profiles, so a big time saver

Linux paths so far, but I know there are some Mac OS command line users on here -- anyone have this set up on your system? If so and you have instructions posted anywhere I'll link to them

It's interesting to listen to US officials are still trying to grapple with Luigi Mangione's folk hero status.

Here's the Biden administration's Secretary of Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

"I was told Rockchip no longer considers RK3588 to be an “open source” chip. In practice, that means Rockchip no longer contributes RK3588 code to open-source projects and they also decided not to sell RK3588 directly to SBC vendors." cnx-software.com/2024/12/21/ro…

This, paired with Joshua Riek stepping away from ubuntu-rockchip, doesn't bode well for RK3588's SBC futures.

Maybe why Radxa is going with a different vendor for their next flagship board, the Orion 6?
