I’d like to give a shoutout to the Mozilla Italia community (anyone knows if they’re on Mastodon?). What a passionate and active community, such a shame I discovered them after leaving the country and I get to interact with them just remotely. The internet is a good place sometimes

If you get 15M users on your "product" The money you get from said product is more than enough. You're already more privileged that 90% of people if you make money with a job like that, so no, you don't deserve a thank you. In the same way, I don't think you thank the people filling the shops you go to, or the people working for your city's basic infrastructure, because you assume payment is all that's needed.
You are a very big strong brave boy and we're all very proud of you and love you very much. The way you undertook your paid employment was admirable, an example to us all.
Tak jsem se dva roky před padesátkou rozhodl odejít z firmy s dobrým týmem a skvělým šéfem, abych se věnoval – opět na volné noze – svému projektu, který sice český průmysl potřebuje jako 🐖 drbání, ale za to to může být hezká finanční polízanice pro mě. ;)
Jenže, poslání. A nový impuls. A vůbec. 🏃🏻➡️
Víc (možná i tady, jestli se osmělím) tak za 10 dní.
Also don't forget that validating the certificate is not the same as validating the hostname you're connecting is actually covered by the certificate! That's why this had to be made:
I need to call HTTP API verifying SSL or not. However, I found both httpc and hackney behave strange - ssl option stay across different functions. See this code: bad_url1 = "https://expired.badssl.com/" bad_url2 = "https://wrong.host.badssl.
OTP has some catching up to do, that's the core issue IMHO. But they've come a long way in the last few years. As Erlang/Elixir have been experiencing huge growth these issues that nobody cared about are being solved with each new OTP release.
The next issue that will drive you nuts is no dual stack / Happy Eyeballs support. But you can get halfway there with this hack:
This will make all your connections try IPv6 first then fall back to IPv4. I'm pretty sure your httpc usage would not be able to connect to an IPv6-only website right now because httpc is hardcoded to only try an inet_tcp socket, never an inet6_tcp
@feld Finally had some time to look at this (was way too tired last night). These additions aren't as bad as I thought. I'll update my post with these libraries now. Thanks again for knowledge sharing!
There's a nearly complete Happy Eyeballs implementation for Gun that's not public. I need to chase the dev down who was making it because I offered him money for it ...
Happy Eyeballs tries both simultaneously and picks the fastest path. If many A or AAAA values are published for the same record, it is somewhat smart about trying them in groups. (according to latest v3 spec I think?)
If someone has a broken AAAA record published for example, inet64_tcp will try the IPv6 host and then give up with a failure. It won't fall back to the A record because an AAAA record existed. That's all this does -- check for AAAA first and then connect if it exists, otherwise do the normal A record lookup and IPv4 socket connection.
You could probably modify that inet64_tcp to have error handling and be much more intelligent though! It's not complicated code, the trick is just knowing how to overwrite the OTP inet_tcp function which the library is already configured to do for you. You could definitely enhance the logic to make it more robust.
It finally connected for me. All the people saying Bitcoin and AI will destroy the planet by consuming too much energy are the tech-left mirror opposite of the right wing people who say "I did my own research" about stuff like vaccines or whatever.
@gnomon Everything looks super sharp, indeed! They are giving me a small headache, as per usual, but it should go away in a couple of days.
My problem with multifocals is that I have my laptop raised over my desk, and I need to tilt my head back. My old monofocals weren't cutting it anymore.
Now let's see if I can get used to changing them when I sit up and down...
> The shopkeeps who are also the owners are so appreciative [of customers paying with cash] as it's essentially a 5-7% "tip".
wtf? How high do you think transaction fees are? Cash is EXPENSIVE to deal with as a business. And paying with cards tricks people into tipping more than they normally would.

@austinnix LOL maybe you can join forces with him on the moderation team, two Austins, call yourselves the "Austin Powers" mod team! :D ahahahaha. But yeah, wouldn't be surprised if you got asked about this especially if people read the tagline with fast speech and associate the name to yours.
COVID, in some ways, is less like the flu and more like HIV. We haven't even begun to understand the long-term effects of COVID, just as we hadn't with HIV. Meanwhile, society has moved so quickly to normalize a novel, airborne virus that has killed and disabled many. That shows to me a deep denial, rooted in fear and control.
LOL for some reason I wanna assemble the newly-released Microsoft 6502 BASIC for an Apple II and throw it on a disk and run it. Yeah I know there's no point but I think it'd be cool! Only problem is, I have no clue what assembler to use or whether it would be accessible.
“Regrettably, Dr. Roberts’ office indicated that he can no longer join us to present today,” the PMO said in a statement distributed at the forum. “Our team will continue further engagement and discussions with him and other leading U.S.
And just so we're clear: What happened was that the fascist architect of Project 2025 opted out, not that our government wouldn't have taken the meeting had he been available.
They're still looking for "further engagement and discussions with him and other leading U.S. policy figures soon."
I keep telling people:
💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 Shitlibs are just fascists who are afraid they won't get any more dinner party invites if they say the words out loud. 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩
Inviting the literal fascist masterminds to Canada as an expert on the country? The ones who are also likely behind why the US wants to annex Canada? I'll bet you Canada's paying for this guy to be here too.
Tell me, Liberals, how is this elbows up, or sovereignty, or building Canada Strong?
We shouldn't be negotiating with fascists. Period. It's this constant capitulation to try to appease people who obviously cannot be reasoned with. Why are we even consulting with people who are literally bringing back child labour, slavery and concentration camps?

Riiiiight. Because they have no idea. Are they stupid or what?
A man, growing frustrated with his daily routine, began resenting his wife for staying home while he worked long hours. One evening, he knelt in prayer and said:
"Dear Lord, I work tirelessly every day while my wife stays home. She has no idea how hard my life is. Please, let us trade places for just one day so she can see what I go through."
In His infinite wisdom, God granted the man’s wish.
The next morning, the man woke up in his wife’s body. Determined to prove his point, he jumped right into the day.
He cooked breakfast, woke the kids, picked out their school clothes, packed lunches, and dropped them off at school. Returning home, he picked up the dry cleaning, ran errands at the bank, and did the grocery shopping—then came home to unload and organize it all.
By mid-morning, he was already feeling frazzled, but the tasks didn’t stop. He paid bills, balanced the checkbook, cleaned the litter box, bathed the dog, and tidied up the house.
At 1 P.M., he realized he was barely halfway through. He made the beds, tackled piles of laundry, vacuumed, dusted, and mopped the kitchen floor. Then it was time to race back to the school to pick up the kids, argue with them on the ride home, and serve milk and cookies while juggling their homework struggles.
At 4:30, he started dinner prep: peeling potatoes, washing vegetables, snapping beans, and breading pork chops. After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, loaded the dishwasher, folded more laundry, bathed the kids, and wrangled them into their pajamas before tucking them into bed.
By 9 P.M., completely exhausted, he climbed into bed, ready to finally call it a day. But of course, there was still one more duty expected of him—making love. He managed without a word of complaint, then collapsed into the deepest sleep of his life.
The next morning, he woke up in a panic and dropped to his knees, praying:
"Lord, I don’t know what I was thinking! I was so wrong to envy my wife. Please, I beg you, let us switch back!"
God, in His infinite wisdom, replied,
"My son, I’m glad you’ve learned your lesson. I will change things back—but you’ll have to wait nine months."
Living organisms are assumed to produce same-#species #offspring.
But this is not the case for Messor ibericus, an #ant that lays individuals from two distinct #species.
In this life cycle, females must clone males of another species because they require their sperm to produce the worker caste.
As a result, males from the same mother exhibit distinct genomes and morphologies, as they belong to species that diverged over 5 million years ago.
The evolutionary history of this system appears as sexual parasitism that evolved into a natural case of cross-species cloning, resulting in the maintenance of a male-only lineage cloned through distinct species’ ova.
In a case of obligate cross-species cloning, female ants of Messor ibericus need to clone males of Messor structor to obtain sperm for producing the worker caste, resulting in males from the same mother having distinct genomes and morphologies.
Hi everyone. I would like to sincerely thank everyone for their best wishes during my recent illness. Particularly Sunday, Monday and Tuesday morning were very grim times. I could barely put one foot in front of the other, I was in constant pain, and the swelling had also spread to my arms which were extremely soar. I could not think about much else. I didn't even want to hear my music. I didn't want L to play music in the flat. People who know me will also know how much I love my music and how unusual that would be. I could also barely eat food.
We have very little in the way of support here, so it is important that my health is especially good and the future did look bleak, particularly as it was suggested to me that the illness may not go away.
With the help of our Assistant, I went to the Doctor yesterday morning. The nurse took different types of blood tests and the Doctor changed the medication completely.
I came home and began taking the new meds. I went to sleep for a while, woke up, and it was like a switch had been flicked and the pain had been turned off. Perhaps not as dramatic as that but I began to feel much more like myself. I am able to walk properly again. Yesterday I could eat properly.
There is still a long way to go obviously. The results of the tests have to come back, and that may mean me going to hospital as an outpatient to see a Specialist. There are still parts of me which are a bit swollen, and I do lose my balance sometimes, but it's a huge improvement. I would hope that if I continue to rest for a good part of this month I can return to how things used to be. But this has been a serious warning to me: slow, down.
Again, thanks to everyone for keeping me in their prayers.
Glad you're feeling better, Brian. I know what that's like when you don't want to hear or do anything while sick; I had a similar experience a couple months ago when I got hit with a nasty flu or virus that was going around. Definitely not fun.
BOBBIN: Now with Enhanced Apple IIe support, thanks to @sethkushniryk ! Currently in the "enhanced-revised" branch, not yet in main. I can play @a2_4am 's "Pitch Dark" collection now! github.com/micahcowan/bobbin/t…
Finally! I nominated @paf for the IHF the second year of its existence (the first year they allowed regular people to nominate). Being the lead designer on IDNA should have gotten him this honor long ago.
With everyone being so focused on Ty and Pyrefly right now, I'd like to put a lesser known type checker in the spotlight for a second, called Zuban.
I know, yet another Python type checker, just what the Python ecosystem needs! But hear me out, this one is genuinely exciting to me.
It's made by a long time Python ecosystem contributor, who you might know for creating Jedi.
Of course, it has all the goodies you'd want these days, which is a good CLI, an LSP, being written in Rust for performance, etc.
But it also aims for Mypy compatibility with zmypy, making it a great potential option for existing projects using Mypy that just want something faster.
I reported a couple of issues which got fixed in a span of hours too!
I'd say give it a go, don't expect perfect results, but report issues if you find them
Last weekend, we reached another milestone in our efforts to have all Debian packages versioned in Salsa (Debian's GitLab instance). Out of around 39000 packages, less than 2000 are not in Salsa! Check trends.debian.net/#vcs-hosting for some cool graphs #debian #salsa #09
Wow, I'm old enough to remember the calls for packaging standardization (with cdbs being a failed attempt at that). That graph makes it look like we're almost there!
Una pregunta internacional (se agradece retoot) ¿Qué flores, plantas o árboles están relacionados con tradiciones de difuntos/ánimas en tu zona? Es famoso el día de difuntos mexicano, pero seguro que hay tradiciones preciosas por el mundo.
Officially got the word today. My employer is shitcanning all remote employees if we don't agree to set our lives on fire and move. And in the middle of a historically bad tech job market. I've sent out a ton of resumes and gotten nothing, like everyone else. If anyone needs a senior software engineer (backend primarily) who's really good at their job, hit me up. #GetFediHired
I actually do think it's worth pointing out how in a time of overt fascism, white trans people are also becoming more reactionary and facist overall, because that has real ramifications for Black trans people, who already bear the brunt of anti-trans violence.
I'll say that again: by every meaningful metric, Black trans people bear the brunt of transphobic violence. Not white trans people. And white trans people are not organizing en masse in any real way to change this fact.
And to be clear: White trans people are not becoming more reactionary and facist because they're trans, it's because they're white. And in a white supremacist society, white people will always be white first. Race traitors are rare, very rare. Us Black folks remaining real clear on this point is what will help to keep us safe and keep us from fates like that of Sam Nordquist.

it should work if you use LibreELEC + Jellyfin for Kodi for your set-top-box. Just pass through the audio to the sound system. For streaming to other clients like a laptop, phone, etc. it doesn't matter.
CoreELEC provides Dolby Vision support on specific Amlogic-based devices that have a Dolby Vision-licensed System on Chip (SoC), identified by a 'J' or 'K' suffix in the model name (e.g., S905X4-J/K) This support was first introduced in the CoreELEC 21-Omega release, which required a significant platform change to aarch64 architecture to accommodate the necessary proprietary driver blob (dovi.ko) extracted from the device's Android installation The feature is currently available on devices like the Homatics Box R 4K Plus, RockTek G2, Nokia 8010, Minix U22X-J (Max), and Ugoos AM6b+
Dolby Vision support in CoreELEC is enabled by default on compatible hardware, but users can disable it via the CoreELEC settings if needed The system is configured to follow the source, meaning Dolby Vision activates only when the media, device, and TV are all capable and compatible The display will switch to Dolby Vision mode, and if the TV is not Dolby Vision capable, the content will play in HDR or SDR based on the display's capabilities
CoreELEC supports Dolby Vision profiles 5 and 8, with profile 7 (used on UHD Blu-rays) being converted on-the-fly to profile 8.1 or minimal enhancement layer (MEL) using the libdovi library due to a bug in the upstream Amlogic Android Dolby Vision system The conversion mode can be controlled by the user through the "Convert Dolby Vision for compatibility" option, with available modes including Lossless, Minimal EL, Profile 8.1, Profile 8.4, and Profile 8.1 MP As of August 2025, the CoreELEC team has successfully added support for all Dolby Vision profiles, including the Full Enhancement Layer (FEL) for profile 7, on the Ugoos AM6b+ streaming box, making it the first and only streaming device to fully support all DV profiles like a physical UHD player
To access Dolby Vision settings, users must ensure the user level is set to Expert in Kodi's System settings, where a dedicated Dolby Vision menu appears below the standard Kodi menu The Dolby Vision Led mode setting allows users to choose between TV-Led (RGB 4:4:4) or Player-Led (YCbCr 4:2:2) mode For optimal playback, especially on TVs like the LG Evo G4, users are advised to use the Player-led HDR option and ensure the correct HDR10+ to Dolby Vision toggle is set A clean install is highly recommended when upgrading to CoreELEC 21-Omega due to the architecture change from arm to aarch64, as upgrading from older versions or restoring backups is not possible and can lead to a non-booting system
I emailed the EU (COMP-DMA@ec.europa.eu) explaining why I think #Google's new anti #sideload measures are problematic.
They responded stating they "welcome feedback from interested parties", noting that the #DMA does allow "strictly necessary and proportionate measures to ensure [3rd party apps/stores] do not endanger the [hardware or OS] or to [allow users to effectively protect security]".
May be worth sending an email explaining your opinion on the necessity and proportionality :)
Apple has been doing the same for over a year now and the EU didn’t bother, even after documented cases of Apple blocking sideloaded apps. Also the EU Commission is proposing to force backdoors/client scanning in messaging apps under which is nice to be able to identify authors of non-compliant apps.
@BucciaBuccia I'm always very disappointed with enforcement but one thing I notice is that everyone is always yelling on social media, but no complaints reach the correct groups.
When I complained about Stocard's GDPR export, one of the arguments they had to not punish Stocard was because this "was the first complaint they received on Stocard" and thus it was "not indicative of purposeful misbehaviour".
It shouldn't be our responsibility to monitor but it still seems worth trying to alert them
@BucciaBuccia I'm well aware there is a high chance this leads to nothing. But at least I can sleep well knowing I gave it a fair shot beyond just getting angry on social media :)
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
