🚨 #BREAKING: Legal fight between UK vs Apple about #encryption #backdoor must be made public.

We at Tuta would never build a backdoor - and our #opensource code is proof of that.

They, along with news organisations - including the BBC - made legal representations for the case to be heard in public. "This is bigger than the UK and Apple," said Jim Killock, executive director of Open [Rights Group. 'The Court's judgment will have implications for the privacy and security of millions of | [people around the world. ‘The Open Rights Group campaigned alongside Big Brother Watch and Index on Censorship against the proposal to hold the hearing in secret. Big Brother Watch interim director Rebecca Vincent says the judgement is "effectively chipping away at the pervasive climate of secrecy surrounding the Investigatory Powers Tribunal's consideration of the Apple case". "The Home Office's order to break encryption represents a massive attack on the privacy rights of millions of British Apple users, which is a matter of significant public interest and must not be considered behind closed doors," she adds. Apple declined to comment.

The Chaos Computer Club, Europe‘s largest community of #hackers, has released a declaration on what is incompatible with the club’s values: “Those who aim to destroy coexistence in society and work toward an alternative society with principles based on chauvinism and nationalism are working against the moral principles that unite us as a club.

The CCC declares representing racism and fascism (…) to be incompatible with a membership in our ranks.”

Remember, if you just take this day as a weekend, your #curl rewrite could be finished

(from the collection at daniel.haxx.se/blog/2021/05/20…)

I used curl to test my handwritten HTTP 2.0 server. That includes sending chunked, compression support, SSL with the 3 basic auth methods, all the various verbs, etc. I could write curl in a 3 day weekend comfortably.

“I could rewrite curl”

Collected quotes and snippets from people publicly sneezing off or belittling what curl is, explaining how easy it would be to make a replacement in no time with no effort or generally not being very helpful. These are statements made seriously.

Před deseti lety začal cestujícím sloužit nový úsek metra V.A
Otevřen byl na Velikonoce dne 6. dubna 2015.
Síť metra se tak rozrostla na 61 stanic a délku 65,4 km.
Jízdní doba z Depa Hostivař do Nemocnice Motol je přibližně 31 minut, délka 17,13 km a počet stanic na lince A je 17.
Zpočátku jezdil v novém úseku pouze každý druhý vlak, jinak se končilo na Dejvické. Později bylo posunuto pásmování do nové stanice Petřiny a pak zcela zrušeno.
Od té doby se zatím metro nerozšířilo.

was going through some old old mastodon favorites that I accumulated since late 2023, and I came across this gem.
Today I learned: TIL a classical work described as "Ode to Internet - V.90 56k dialup modem handshake for orchestra" was composited from a July 27, 1996 performance with the Monteverdi Choir and L’Orchestre Revolutionaire et Romantique, conducted by Sir John Eliot Gardiner at Avery Fisher Hall.

It's been six years now since #curl dropped support for HTTP/1 pipelining.

daniel.haxx.se/blog/2019/04/06…

I have never regretted it.


curl says bye bye to pipelining

HTTP/1.1 Pipelining is the protocol feature where the client sends off a second HTTP/1.1 request already before the answer to the previous request has arrived (completely) from the server. It is defined in the original HTTP/1.

So, the other day, Gumroad announced it was going “open source,” which got a lot of attention.

That same day, Wired wrote a story about Gumroad’s founder, and his association with #DOGE, that perhaps didn’t have the same impact.

Let’s fix that.

Gumroad’s Interestingly Timed “Open-Source” Play

The creator-economy service Gumroad decided to open-source its platform at a suspiciously convenient time. (And even “open source” might be stretching it.)

Caro S.

No, because this division between "criminals" and "law abiding citizens" implies it's okay to deport criminals to a concentration camp. And that's exactly what racists and fascists use to remove civil rights: first from those they deem "criminals," like students protesting are now labelled terrorists. Due process , whatever little there is in the USA, for all or it's due process for none.

From an upcoming blog post, in which I argue that cloud providers are actually more like proprietary software providers: "These days under the guise of ‘cloud as a commodity’ we are gluing ourselves to specific suppliers, without realizing that they are not in fact supplying commodity services." Thoughts? Comments?
Schematic that shows how software depends on services, many of which are so integrated with what we do that they constitute an integral part of our software.

It's been eight years to the day since Lance Ulanoff, the storied Tech and Social Media Expert and an award-winning tech journalist, decided that Mastodon won't survive because William Shatner couldn't find him on here.

Mýtus o záchraně státního rozpočtu

Roky už od lidí poslouchám argument, že stačí snížit byrokracii, propustit část státních úředníků a náš státní rozpočet bude zachráněný. Teď se diskuse na toto téma vrátila na výsluní, protože v USA tuto myšlenku začali realizovat. Z opakovaného vysvětlování už jsem tak unavený, že jsem se rozhodl to sepsat na blog.

Ohodnocení státních zaměstnanců je taky kapitola sama pro sebe. Křiklavé to je třeba na ŘSD, kde miliardové zakázky závisí na lidech s 35 tisíci hrubého. A pak se divíme, že příprava staveb vypadá tak, jak vypadá. Stát šetří miliony a utíkají mu kvůli tomu miliardy. Třeba se někdy dočkáme politika, který nebude slibovat škrty, ale řekne, že zjednodušení agendy a digitalizace jim umožní snížit počet úředníků o 30 %, ale úspory nechají na adekvátní ohodnocení těch zbylých.
