#allsystemsgo re "A Security Model for systemd" the one little thing that really stood out for me was "WX for filesystems". how did i not think about it that way before? this makes total sense as a policy for secured immutable systems

In the Linux world there are several tools and technologies to encrypt data on a hard drive, most falling into one of two categories: block device encryption (like LUKS) or stacked filesystem encryption (like EncFs or gocryptfs).
Updates are a critical piece of managing your fleet of devices. Nowadays, Yocto-based distributions can utilize layers for well-established update mechanisms.
🇺🇳 The United Nations Secretary-General has launched an open call for candidates to serve on the UN's Independent International Scientific Panel on AI -- 40 leading experts to provide impartial, evidence-based assessments on the opportunities, risks, and impacts of AI.
➡️ Learn more and apply at un.org/ai-panel ... the call is open through 31 October.
Adding my personal encouragement to apply for this toward anyone with a scientific background with more disruptive/contrarian views on AI, and especially those from global majority countries. We need better diversity in these groups to help influence better, smarter policy. Let's make it happen!
This release targets Android 16 and fixes a crash. Sadly, Google removed support for controlling screen orientation, so this functionality had to be removed.
Catima now also includes ACRA in the FOSS release for crash reporting. If a crash occurs, a dialog will appear to ask you to report the crash. Reports are never sent automatically and you can always review it.

Fix possible crash after removing image from card

To explain the crash reporting flow in more detail:
When a crash occurs, a dialog window will show up. This dialog window will ask you if you are willing to report the crash and ask you what you were doing when the crash happened.
On accepting reporting the crash, your mail client will open with the crash information in an attachment (as plain text file), so you can review and cancel the report if you want.
If you never want to be asked, you can disable the reporter in settings.
I understand some users will worry. I always worry about these things too.
Let it be known that I hate nothing more than people collecting information without consent. I have put considerable effort into testing the flow to try to make it as privacy-respecting as possible.
On a related note, did you know that Google Play collects crash reports for all your apps by default? You can disable this by opening Google in devices settings, going to "All Services" and disabling "Usage and diagnostics".
I have updated the privacy policy for Catima to reflect this change and to explicitly document how you can opt out of Google collecting your crash logs if you run a version of Android with Google services: catima.app/privacy-policy/. I hope this helps and is clear to everyone.
So yeah, not the most exciting release, but bumping the Android target SDK should at least keep us from getting kicked off Google Play for a bit longer again. Let's hope Google doesn't break any functionality next Android release!
If you really care strongly about the rotation functionality and have updated the app missing it, please see downgrade instructions on the FAQ: catima.app/faq.
I try to keep supporting things as long as I can, but sadly, this one is out of my control.
@Bodo Sylvia weiß, wann unser Updater läuft – sie ist schließlich im IzzyOnDroid Team 😉 Und sie versucht immer, das Release rechtzeitig fertig zu haben. Klappt nicht jedes Mal, manchmal kommt halt was dazwischen – aber in ca. 95% der Fälle trifft sie es ziemlich genau 😉
#GitHub - Please make it possible to remove the autogenerated source archive links from releases. This is a cause of endless confusion as people accidentally download the wrong source code archive instead of the actual release one. I got bitten by this just moments ago. github.com/openssl/openssl/iss… - sure it was my own mistake to accidentally pick the wrong link, but just making this possible is stupid and would be trivial to fix.
I know #curl project gets annoyed by this issue periodically as well and has requested this feature from GitHub. EDIT: The request: bagder.github.io/github-feedba…

One of the new skills required to get the most out of AI-assisted coding tools - Claude Code, Codex CLI, etc - is designing agentic loops: carefully selecting tools to run in a loop to achieve a specified goal. Do this well and you can solve many coding problems with brute force
Here's my expanded explanation of what it means to design an agentic loop, how to do it safely (while running in YOLO mode!) and kinds of interesting problems this approach can be used to tackle simonwillison.net/2025/Sep/30/…
Coding agents like Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex CLI represent a genuine step change in how useful LLMs can be for producing working code. These agents can now directly …
One scenario where I used this is third-party API integration. You need web search (for API docs) and a tightly-scoped credential (read-only was good enough for us) to do this well. I didn't even need yolo mode, unrestricted curl access was good enough.

When Russia implements mass surveillance, we shake our heads and call Russia a dictator ruled country. When EU wants to do the same, it is "for the children" and it is expected that everyone nods their heads in approval.
This is so spot-on!
I'm happy they have received over 55.000 votes so far. 50.000 votes from citizens who can vote in Danish parliament elections are needed to get this proposal processed in the Danish parliament.
Now I just hope those 55.000+ votes so far are 100% valid votes. And I hope this proposal will double in the days to come.

“Given the press and popular support of using a specialized font as a remedy for dyslexia, it is critical to highlight that results from this study failed to identify any positive effect for using it. Currently, there is no documentation to support a specialized font is an evidence-based practice.”
Unfortunately, it looks like dyslexia-friendly fonts (Open Dyslexic, Dyslexie) don’t actually work.
A single-subject alternating treatment design was used to investigate the extent to which a specialized dyslexia font, OpenDyslexic, impacted reading rate or accuracy compared to two commonly used fonts when used with elementary students identified .
Really, just taking advantage of the fact that I am no longer formally affiliated with _any_ Python Code of Conduct enforcement to talk about the actual reality of being a Code of Conduct enforcer.
More importantly: The formal reprimand stuff? That sucks so much. No one likes doing it. It's worse because the number of cases that come back after needing a suspension are so few.
I’m going to just step in as someone who has run multiple communities (including multiple Python user groups), and use modified CC for every community I’m in charge of.
A great researcher I work with @carlysagan is looking for research funding or a remote position! It is really depressing how little funding is available to research the effects of satellite reentries... we REALLY need to get more scientists on this, because 1-5 Starlinks per day are reentering now and we don't actually know what that's going to do to the atmosphere... ugh.
