This October, my doggo and I are putting our paws to the pavement—walking together for Pride Unleashed—to raise money for life-changing Rainbow support services.

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

Hey, #Docker community! Anyone using the Portarius app (apt.izzysoft.de/packages/si.zb…) to manage their Docker containers via the Portainer API? The app hasn't seen an update since 11/2022, and it's repo was archived 3/2024.

Is the app still useful to you? Shall we keep it? Monthly installs here are down to < 10.

Hey you! Yes, you, who maintains signatures for a so-called AntiVirus scanner! Could you please get those signatures fixed?

Here's from a year ago: github.com/nfcgate/nfcgate/iss…

And despite of those developers having reached out more than once, this is where we stay now, a year later: 29 (!!) engines falsely mark the NFCGate app as Malware: github.com/nfcgate/nfcgate/iss… – confusing people and scaring them away from it.

Do you also blame the vendor of the getaway car for the bank robbery? 🤦‍♂️

NFCGate and "NGate" Malware

Lads lads lads lads!

Here's the first release candidate for v0.20.0 of #GoToSocial! If you're feeling bold, you can try this release candidate and help us find any lingering bugs before we release v0.20.0 proper!

codeberg.org/superseriousbusin…

Please read the migration notes carefully for instructions on how to upgrade to this version.

The migrations in this release are quite long (can take several hours, even!), as we had to rethread the entire statuses table to handle the new way we cache status threads (and to improve timeline performance). Please plan downtime accordingly, and most importantly hang in there and don't be tempted to interrupt the migration process!

Please also pay particular attention to the metrics changes, as we've significantly changed the way that metrics exposure is configured, so you will likely have to adjust your setup if you use GtS Prometheus metrics. For more information on the new way of doing things, look through this document: docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/…

Release highlights

• Big refactor of timeline code to use less memory and be (hopefully!) more responsive and less error prone.
• Support for scheduled statuses!
• Support for the focal point property on the frontend + over federation, so you can set focal point on your media and have it work properly!
• Notifications when a status you've interacted with has been edited.
• ListenBrainz widget on the frontend, so you can show off the music you've been listening to (docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/…)
• Instance info panel in the settings, so that non-admins on the instance can see which domains are blocked and explicitly allowed, and the reason why.
• Bunch of new themes for profile views!
• Config option to expose emoji endpoints without authentication -- useful for compatibility with some clients. Default value still requires authentication.
• Footnotes in markdown!
• Configurable thumbnail dimensions.
• Federation of avatar + header image descriptions is handled now, both in + out of GtS.
• The new hidesToPublicFromUnauthedWeb and hidesCcPublicFromUnauthedWeb are federated in and out now, allowing your instance and other instances that support these properties to transmit + respect preferences for the visibility of posts to render on the unauthenticated (public) web view of threads.
• Support for avif file format.
• JSON logging format, for easier log ingestion.
• Atom and JSON feed support for RSS (not just xml).
• Reworked metrics format, more + better metrics, and an importable example grafana dashboard.
• Domain permission subscription retractions are now handled properly.
• Probably a lot more! See below!

Thanks for reading!

Linux Deploy (apt.izzysoft.de/packages/ru.me…) hasn't seen any update since 2020, and its repo fell dormant in 2021. We still see about 40 installs per month from our repo.

Anyone here using it? Is it still working and considered useful, so we should keep it?

I heard that KDE could use some fundraising campaign artwork, so calling all artists who may follow me:

• If you like KDE stuff like Krita or Plasma etc..
• And if you like Konqi and Katie

We could use some artwork: Drawings of Konqi and Katie for fundraising efforts. Here is a good example: community.kde.org/File:Konqui-…

The promo folk will explain more what they need specifically, I'm mostly a messenger.

It is volunteer work (so very likely no payment) and the artwork will have to have permissive license such as CC-BY-SA. And I understand for many artists that's a lot to ask.. But you never know if you don't ask right?

There's different style campaigns for different holiday seasons. If you're interested, let me know here or my email, and I'll give out details how to contact the promo team. You can also chat with them directly through their Matrix channel: community.kde.org/Get_Involved…

Here's examples of various artwork we have: community.kde.org/Promo/Materi…

Edit: I don't think there's participation limit either. :)

And yes, this makes you a contributor to KDE! :)

Chat Control is one of the most important issue for human rights and democracy in the West right now.

There is little time left to fight back!🚨

❓If you don't know what it is: read this article

🇪🇺 If you are in the EU: Contact your MEPs NOW

🇪🇺 If you already contacted your MEPs: Contact your local media TODAY to ask them to report and inform on the dangers of Chat Control.

🌎 If you are not European: Spread the word! Talk about it on social media. Contact your local media. Contact your representatives to share your concerns about similar proposals and the loss of privacy rights. This would affect you too!

This is an urgent matter. We cannot let the West slip in this authoritarian dystopia.
We must stop Chat Control ✊🛑

Chat Control Must Be Stopped, Act Now!

Chat Control is back to undermine everyone's privacy. There's an important deadline this Friday on September 12th. We must act now to stop it!

Das Client-Side-Scanning ist ein Angriff auf Verschlüsselung und untergräbt jegliches Vertrauen in private Kommunikation. Die Bundesregierung muss sich endlich eindeutig dagegen positionieren und die #ChatkontrolleSTOPPEN!
