Throughout his 2024 campaign for president, Donald Trump repeatedly promised to give pardons to his supporters who had been criminally charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

I thought it would be interesting to see what happens when you get a practice session from the tennis player Alex de Minaur at the Australian Open and slow it down by a ridiculous degree using reaper.
You get some very interesting sounds here particularly with the serving of the ball and the squeaking of the tennis shoes on the hardcourt.

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)

Keyboard shortcuts for Japanese conversions on Mac

When using a Japanese input source on your Mac, use keyboard shortcuts to convert characters.

@khomus has been pestering me for a while now about"dungeon synth"; yes, that's a genre. I describe it as quite-metronomic not-very-expressive keyboard/MIDI-based fantasy, i.e., historically-inaccurate medieval #music. Can you tell I'm not really a fan? Anyway, I decided to try making some dungeon non-synth; so all-acoustic instruments, namely baritone #ukulele, frame drum and cristal. I expect I probably missed the mark; too complicated and more Renaissance-ish, but let me know?

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.

Geno

I’ve used it as my primary file system for years now. It’s been great overall. I have had some data loss in the past when using with raid 5 or 6, and that’s typically where the dangers lie with it still. (Most of the data was recoverable but it was a pain.)
My current btrfs setup is a span across 3 hardware raids, so it’s more like lvm but I can add or remove as needed, and don’t have to worry about the raid5/6 issues.

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.
