That time in 2009 when Donald Trump took out a full-page NYT ad with other business leaders calling on President Obama for aggressive #climate action:
“If we fail to act now, it is scientifically irrefutable that there will be catastrophic & irreversible consequences for humanity & our planet.”
Vaclav Havel, “The Power of the Powerless”
Honestly, everyone should read it.

Input methods on macOS also work much better! The next version of Ghostty allows all the standard control keys to work with the built-in Japanese input method: support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/… In 1.0.1, these worked but ALSO encoded them to the shell. This is now resolved.
For Japanese typists, the AquaSKK/macSKK input methods work out of the box. This has been verified thanks to a vocal group of Japanese users. According to them, Ghostty is the only terminal at all where this is true (Terminal/iTerm require hacks, other terms don't work at all)
When using a Japanese input source on your Mac, use keyboard shortcuts to convert characters.Apple Support
I wonder how you'll resolve Polish, we use alt (Option on Mac) for diacritics, but Option usually has to serve as the "meta" key because that's what many terminal apps require.
Sorry if this is implemented already, haven't gotten around to testing Ghostty yet, as I don't think there's any progress on the a11y front so far.

I'd like to create #wireguard tunnel between two natted machines. I'm fine with using an intermediate third machine for IP addresses and ports discovery.
The idea outlined in this article sounds verry appealing to me.
However I'm wondering is there something that is developed further beyond a proof of concept I might look at instead? I know there is #tailscale. That sounds too much for me unfortunatelly as I do need to register with them and similar. Thus I'm exploring if there is something I can self host.

In this post we will set out to establish a WireGuard tunnel between dynamically addressed peers that are both sitting behind a NAT.www.jordanwhited.com

Die Signatur-Problematik bei F-Droid ist offenbar noch immer nicht gelöst: "We find it concerning that F-Droid constantly chooses to move the goalposts and continues to rely on a fundamentally broken approach for certificate pinning, merely patching [15] known vulnerabilities without ever addressing the underlying cause." 😵👇

You know, back in the day there was a media darling who made his reputation as a hawk who saw enemies around every corner. And yeah, everybody knew he had a bit of a drinking problem.
His name was Joseph McCarthy, and he drank himself to death at 48.
There's a "Signal deanonymized" thing going around:
gist.github.com/hackermondev/4…
Stay calm. Deep breaths.
👉 while this is a real consideration, the only thing the attacker gets from this is a very rough (kilometers or tens of kilometers radius) location
👉 other communication platforms that use any kind of caching CDN to deliver attachments are just as affected
👉 you almost certainly should continue to use Signal, unless you specifically know that this is a big problem for you.

My mother-in-law set up the #Nextcloud app to back up photos from her #Android phone. However, no photos were uploaded. I thought she did something wrong, but in fact it was set up correctly, including all permissions. But nothing was even queued for upload. I couldn't make it work either.
I got a recommendation for #FolderSync, but it's freemium and it felt fishy with all the data consent dialogs. Then I went to #FDroid and discovered #RoundSync and wow, it's a great piece of software, clean, lean and does reliably what I want it to do. The sad fact is that @newhinton, app developer, gets 3€/month for it on Liberapay. We really need to get more money into open source apps.
