FYI for TeamTalk server administrators who run Debian on an X86_64 machine, and may be considering upgrading to Debian 13: The ubuntu24-x86_64 package runs on Debian 13. You'll need the ubuntu22-x86_64 package for Debian 12. And BearWare, just because your opinion is that Ubuntu is the only version of Linux in existence, allow me to correct you to say that Debian was and is first.
Adendum: Someone pointed out that if you're using TeamTalk client in a Linux GUI, the Ubuntu24 version has accessibility problems, and the Ubuntu22 version will still run on Debian 13.

So I made a thing.

The vast majority of the time was spent in navigating guidelines around packaging and screenshots (and I probably still have bits of that wrong), and being less familiar with Codeberg than GH.

Fedinspect is expected to be more interesting for developers poking around at nodeinfo and federation and stuff, rather than generally. I learned a few fun fedi-related things while testing it anyway, though.

There's been a lot of negativity around #Matrix and #Element recently. And I (somewhat) joined in and expressed my frustration with it every now and then. Something I still appreciate around #Matrix is the fact, that they listen to (most of) the criticism and acknowledge (many of) their problems. There's a nice self-critical video addressing all of this recent criticism: youtube.com/watch?v=OyuqM7RbX5…

Jo, decades of ignoring security and now complaining about the interests of the technical dept. I’m so sick and tired of all the complaints about “uhhh, ohhh, security….” from everywhere. If everybody would have done their job from beginning, instead of just hacking shit together (MVP, PoC, move fast and break things bullshit), then we would not have this problem. So stop complaining about security and do your job, or leave it!

I'm excited to announce that #Convo, my #XMPP messaging app for #KaiOS has received a grant from @nlnet, or, more specifically, @NGIZero! 🎉 🤸

nlnet.nl/project/Convo/

I can now turn what began as a quick project made in a providential three weeks of free time into an app that can...actually do basic things like add contacts 😅

More importantly, it'll make the open and standardised messaging protocol available to a mobile platform where few large players have dared to tread 👟

this is incredibly blatant propaganda and every time you post shit like this it reminds me how divorced the linux foundation is from linux users. the GDPR is the bare fucking minimum protocol necessary to support for citizens to be able to trust corporations for things that otherwise would have to be restricted to much more highly regulated entities like the government itself
in reply to Laurent Bercot

The thing is, whenever @linuxfoundation takes up a position like this, people need a gentile reminder of whose interests the foundation represents:

So, what you’re saying is that we should not have laws that protect normal people from having their data farmed in ways that would make even the stasi blush?

It’s funny in a very sad way that something called the Linux foundation is having this extremely corporate boot licking message, considering that a good share of Linux desktop users are that to get away from the corporate spying.

"Asked to generate intervention plans for struggling students, AI teacher assistants recommended more punitive measures for hypothetical students with Black-coded names and more supportive approaches for students the platforms perceived as white, a new study shows."

We know that educators are bombarded with (VC-funded) hype about AI tools as magical solutions. Please don't take these claims at face value and do your own due diligence. 1/4

yes, so with the simple method of getting your VPS provider to assign additional static IPs to your VPS and Proxy ARP, you can "teleport" the static IP to your home over the WireGuard tunnel. The IP is not actually assigned to any interfaces on the VPS and you get to avoid NAT, needing X-Forwarded-For, etc. All your server logs will have the real public IPs 🤠

Plus you can leverage the VPS provider's DDoS protection 😎 (you also gain that with NAT or reverse proxying, but it's another good reason to not use your home ISP's public IP directly)

Another advantage of either design is that you could have multiple internet connections at home for redundancy. The WireGuard tunnel is perfect for this. I do this with a hotspot that has unlimited data. I'll be moving next week and changing ISPs but none of my network configuration for my servers needs to change. I'll keep the same IPs because they're ~in the cloud~ 🙃

At #Zürich #Zurich airport #ZRH apparently they require a boarding pass OR your passport just to connect to the so called "free WiFi".

Passport data just to use a #WiFi? What is next? ID check to post something on Instagram?

Come on, a WiFi is a commodity like a power socket.
The whole useless infrastructure with those kiosks, connection to boarding pass validators and the printer to print out vouchers - and this in 2025.
