I tend to do this thing where I pick a few songs to listen to over and over and over again for a few weeks, and this is currently one of them. Virtual Riot is so incredibly talented, this is so pretty! youtube.com/watch?v=Drl20N8q6p…

@x0 NGL, the latest production from VR feels a bit all over the place for me. It still has its magic, but all the surrounding elements are kind of blurring the main idea of the song, at least that’s how it feels to me. But lately, I generally find myself leaning toward simpler / punchier mixes and production. New Skrillex albums, Eliminate, Habstrakt, and Wink. Actually, if I can recommend one artist it would be Wink:

:ablobthinkingeyes: If you use Jami on your phone, you’ve probably noticed how reliable it stays, even when the app is closed or your IP address changes. That stability isn’t magic. It comes from a piece of clever infrastructure working behind the scenes: proxy servers.

👀 Curious to learn more about proxy servers ? Read our article: jami.net/fr/jami-and-proxys/

A woman in a white traditional dress and black headscarf is speaking on a smartphone while standing outdoors in a colorful, bohemian-style setting with hanging decorations and a waterfront in the background. Overlaid text reads: 'How does Jami work on mobile without a server?' with a 'Discovery' label and the Jami logo in the top-right corner.

I bought the Rabbit R1 — even though it’s not for me
As a blind tech user, I knew the R1 wouldn’t be accessible.
But I bought it anyway. Why?
Because if we aren’t testing and speaking up, accessibility won’t improve. Inclusion starts with showing up.
In my latest blog post, I explain why blind voices are essential in AI—and what I hope comes from this.

Why I Bought the Rabbit R1 (Even Though It's Not Accessible)?

When the Rabbit R1 was first announced, it generated a lot of buzz—this tiny, stylish device promised to reinvent personal computing with the help of artificial intelligence.

The BlueSky post had the original untranslated alt-text of the poem. Pasting it below:

Title: Yesterday

Yesterday,
All those backups seemed a waste of pay.
Now my database has gone away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly,
There's not half the files there used to be, And there's a milestone hanging over me The system crashed so suddenly.
I pushed something wrong
What it was I could not say.
Now all my data's gone and Ilong for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.
Yesterday,
The need for back-ups seemed so far away.
I knew my data was all here to stay, Now I believe in yesterday.

After heartbleed in 2014, there were a lot of calls to abandon OpenSSL and support alternative libraries because it had written itself into a corner full of holes. I didn’t anticipate that 11 years later, there’d be a call to abandon OpenSSL because it’s written itself into a corner of running at 1% the performance of those very same alternative libraries haproxy.com/blog/state-of-ssl-…

The State of SSL Stacks

I guess it’s a good thing that the genocide in Ukraine has devalued your currency so much that 800,000 rubles isn’t actually that much money.

> By the ruling of the magistrate of judicial district No. 422 of the Tagansky district of Moscow, companies Threema GmbH and Pagebites Inc have been fined 1 million rubles each, and Gultsch & Weiss GbR has been fined 800 thousand rubles.

«Любой, кто думает, что Путин остановится после территориальных уступок, просто глуп» — Байден дал (theins.ru/news/281137) Би-би-си первое интервью после отставки
Экс-президент США Джо Байден дал первое интервью с тех пор, как в январе покинул Белый дом. В беседе с Би-би-си он сравнил попытки администрации Трампа заставить Киев пойти на территориальные уступки с политикой «умиротворения», которую правительство Великобритании в 1930-х годах вело по отношению к Гитлеру.
По словам Байдена, Владимир Путин считает всю Украину частью России, так что «любой, кто думает, что он остановится», если получит часть территории в рамках мирного соглашения, «просто глуп».
«Я просто не понимаю, почему люди думают, что если мы позволим диктатору, бандиту, думать, что он может забрать значительные участки земли, которые ему не принадлежат, то это его удовлетворит», — добавил политик.
Экс-президент рассказал также, что обеспокоен состоянием отношений между США и Европой и что разрушение этих отношений «изменит современную историю мира».

The Register gets the amount completely wrong, as we have paid over 86,000 USD in bug-bounties since 2019.

It's just not that visible on #curl's hackerone page since the payouts are manged by the Internet Bug Bounty since several years.

Update: I sent them a correction and they already updated the article!

Harvard reagierte, überprüfte den Brief auf Rechtschreibfehler und Zeichensetzung und veröffentlichte ihn anschließend in den sozialen Medien:

This is a gruelling summary of all the things wrong with OpenSSL haproxy.com/blog/state-of-ssl-… I've mostly watched this whole thing from the sidelines, but was also affected noting that private key parsing suddenly became 70 times slower. I think they've now improved it to "only" be 10-20 times slower, and there does not seem any effort to work on it any more.

New research shows glitter that makes its way into the sea is actively disrupting a crystal-forming process known as biomineralisation, which affects how marine life such as sea urchins, corals and oysters form their shells and skeletons. This mineral formation also contributes to how the ocean helps regulate Earth’s climate by moving carbon through the planet. So the consequences could be far from pretty.

Can WCAG be applied to mobile? Well, sort of… it maps quite well, as long as you carefully assess how each criterion works in the mobile context.

That's what the W3C's Mobile Accessibility Task Force has done, with a group of experts. We've just published our first public working draft of WCAG2Mobile: w3.org/TR/wcag2mobile/

Guidance on Applying WCAG 2.2 to Mobile Applications (WCAG2Mobile)

RIP Skype (2025)

Died a slow agonising death from years of neglect after being acquired by Microsoft.

Skype joins a growing list of messaging software that has died in the care of Microsoft.

• V-Chat (died 1995)
• Comic Chat (laid to rest 1999)
• Netmeeting (met demise 2007)
• Windows Messenger (croaked 2008)
• Meeting Space (expired 2009)
• Office Live Meeting (passed 2011)
• MSN Messenger (gave up ghost 2012)
• Qik (kicked bucket 2016)

*not a complete list.

Skype.
You will be remembered.
In a nostalgic kind of way.
For a while at least.

How did I vote in the federal election on the weekend? The simple answer? I didn't. Why? Because blind people in Australia still can't vote without a middle man. someone between us and our ballots, filling them in for us.

🗳️ Blind and vision impaired Australians still can’t vote independently — and that’s not just unfair, it’s undemocratic.
We deserve to vote privately, safely, and with dignity.
It’s time for real, accessible options — braille ballots, secure phone voting, equal rights.
✍️ I started a petition to demand change.
Please sign it. Share it. Help us be heard.

Not performance but security related; here's a CVE from 2019 that remains unfixed. OpenSSL finally acked it in 2024 as "feature request", with no plans to fix: github.com/openssl/openssl/iss… It affects Windows. Forks fixed it throughout the years.

Windows, world-writable config path (re: CVE-2019-5443) · Issue #24528 · openssl/openssl

This is a long time problem, and opening a new Issue to give it some visibility and place to discuss. OpenSSL loads its config (openssl.cnf) from a disk location baked into the binary at build time...
