At @couchdb we take data safety extreeeeemly serious.
A few weeks ago, we had to make sure we were not susceptible to a particularly gnarly race condition that could lead to catastrophic data loss.
We were not (😮💨), but to make sure we had to go back to the very foundations any database is built on: basic syscalls, a filesystem, process crashes and (lying) storage devices.

This is insane to me. I'm biased, though. Punctuation and spelling matter inherantly to me, but I also need them to be correct so speech can give me the best version of a message. I can also add punctuation more easily thanks to braille screen input, and can hear spelling mistakes I make more easily thanks to speech feedback. I'll continue writing the most grammatically correct posts and texts I can, even if doing so is lame.

užívej, mě to dneska končí a zítra zpátky na kola. Do toho jsem se dneska vzbudil s 39.5, hlavou jako pod pěti metry vody a chrmláním jak Zeman po návštěvě Kutné Hory. Krásné to je, ne že bych potřeboval víc důvodů proč umřít…
já už nevím. Jestli je tohle produkt toho, jak člověk stárne, tak by asi bylo lepší rovnou umřít a tuhle kapitolu vynechat. Ale males musím dodělat dvě věci, aby tady po mě nezůstaly resty…
I suppose we shouldn't be surprised that a US President who is a known rapist helps guys accused of rape to escape justice, but it's still pretty sickening to see

Can you make these announcements less "big corp like" and more informative? I know, there is a wiki with ticket numbers, but a human friendly release summary would be better imho. Thanks. :)

Gegen den nächsten typischen "Merz" (Angriff auf NGOs und zivilgesellschaftliche Initiativen und Vereine) gibt es übrigens eine Bundestagspetition. Diese wurde bereits am 19.01.25 gestartet, anscheinend aus tiefer Kenntnis der Lage heraus. Die Mitzeichnungsfrist läuft noch bis zum 1. April (kein Scherz). Es ist also noch Zeit genug, das auf die wichtige Schwelle von 30.000 Mitzeichnern zu bringen. Dazu muss es aber verbreitet werden, und es müssen auch tatsächlich Leute mitzeichnen. Weiter unten noch ein Tagesschau-Artikel zum Thema.
Insgesamt 551 Fragen hat die Union an die Bundesregierung zur Finanzierung von gemeinnützigen Organisationen. Mehrere davon riefen zu den jüngsten Demos gegen rechts auf. Scharfe Kritik kommt nun von Linken und Grünen.

On Wednesday, Mozilla introduced legal updates to users of Firefox, and something feels off. I read, and re-read the new Terms of Use and while much of it reads like standard boilerplate from any tech company, there’s a new section that is unexpected…
Auf Basis von geleakten Dokumenten haben wir mit #ReschkeFernsehen zu den Beratungsaufträgen der Bundesregierung recherchiert. Hunderte Millionen Euro geben die Bundesministerien jedes Jahr für Beratung aus – und es gibt nur wenige Kontrollmechanismen. Wir schaffen Transparenz und machen die „Beraterberichte” öffentlich. In einer Datenbank haben wir alle Beratungsaufträge von 2017 bis 2023 aufbereitet.
Verschleiern, Verschwenden, Klüngeln: Die Berater*innen-Deals der Bundesregierung haben schon für zahlreiche Skandale gesorgt. Es fehlt Kontrolle. Bis jetzt. Wir veröffentlichen erstmals die bislang geheimen Beraterberichte.
I will be speaking about the EU Cyber Resilience Act and Open Source at @foss_north in Gothenburg, April 14-15. Looking forward to meeting new and old friends!
Of course, this doesn't make sense, it couldn't be just like that... so I went on and read the terms. The trick is specifically on this bit:
"These Terms only apply to the Executable Code version of Firefox, not the Firefox source code."
So sure, Firefox is still the Free Software codebase you were used to, only now if you want to use not the code but Mozilla's distributed binaries, you'll do so while also agreeing to some Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
The trick is, of course, to not use their binaries. In practice, things are a bit trickier. Ubuntu, for instance, was more than happy to ditch their self-compiled Firefox packages and use Mozilla-provided snaps instead.
But trickier or not... well, Mozilla has just made an unhappy user base unhappier - and I hope they reap what they are sowing.
General rule of thumb: Every time an organization updates their terms of service and/or privacy policy, it is never because they have your best interests at heart.
Setting aside the "worldwide license" bullshit, the privacy policy appears to have broadened both the classes of data Mozilla aims to collect, and the situations in which they collect them.
These are not the actions of an org that cares about your privacy.
Self-compiled Firefox doesn't help here. If you want to call it Firefox, you still have to have an agreement with Mozilla and abide by their rules. You'd have to take the codebase, do necessary changes, compile it, and call it e.g. Iceweasel.

I just signed up with @Tutanota to start migrating some of the things I still use Gmail for and saw this on the site which is really cool:
"We welcome people from abroad to apply with Tuta. If you are currently living outside of Germany and need to relocate to Hanover in order to join our team, we will help you with everything necessary. We also have experience with the blue card visa process to support you if you relocate from outside the EU."
Thanks for choosing us ❤️ If you check out our teams page on the website you'll see we are a diverse group of privacy fighters form all around the world!
Anyone using openHAB who could let us know whether "Home Automation Alarm Sender" is still working? apt.izzysoft.de/packages/net.k… was last updated 7 years ago, and is no longer maintained. If it's no longer working either, it should be removed from the #IzzyOnDroid repo.
An amendment to the “Nacrotrafic” law is moving to the French National Assembly. Remind your legislators that a backdoor for the good guys only is not possible.

Sweden’s law enforcement and security agencies are pushing legislation to force Signal and WhatsApp to create technical backdoors allowing them to access communications sent over the encrypted messaging apps.
lool. Then there's articles like these. "Slack might be down, but remote workers are reveling in the massive outage with potential global workday freedom" windowscentral.com/software-ap…
I'm not sure if it was workday freedom for me. I could still work in Google Workspace content, in our internal repos to create my branch and draft PR, and reply to an engineer about some questions he had on implementing a fix. All in all, not a day of freedom, but maybe one of lessened productivity ever so slightly.
Half of the guys from work just have my other contact info, so we'd continue our productivity stuff in Jira and write comments to each other, then promptly delete them if need be.
The only friend who has managed to win the ‘pay the bill to treat everyone’ fight with my parents is my friend who grew up in Hong Kong. Very impressed!
I grew up knowing that generosity and hospitality in providing food or paying for meals was an honour, and also fun - you never knew who would outsmart who, and manage to pay before anyone else noticed!
hey @doubletap want some cooking content from Blind Cooks! @hallen and others share life in the kitchen!Check out a quick #ACBMedia search of Cooking acbmedia.org/?s=cooking -- Sorry I missed the Alexa show, and looking forward to hearing your coverage.
