Hello everyone,
Our home is in a war zone, and I haven’t been able to reach it since the first days of the war.
Today, as the army gradually withdrew, I managed to go to the area — but the landscape has completely changed, and I couldn’t recognize our house.
We are now without shelter. Please, help us by sharing this post or donating.

Save Mohammad and his family from hunger and extermination

My name is Mohammad Mazen Dawood. I am 20 years old and from northern Gaza. I was a computer engineering student, full of hope and passion to finish my degree and start working to support my family.

Microsoft says "something big" coming to Windows 11 this week
"...Essentially, it wants to turn Windows into an agentic OS and thus also recently announced MCP support for Windows."

Microsoft says "something big" coming to Windows 11 this week

Microsoft has just teased "something big" is coming very very soon to Windows 11, or perhaps could this be a teaser for the next gen OS?

@alexhall ahahah yeah, a voice-driven OS? I think that's great for some accessibility folks, but I'm still not sure if I want to do everything on my computer by voice. More agentic features also don't really interest me as it means Windows is collecting more telemetry to build that agentic info through. To me all of this sounds really, really bad, guess we'll find out soon, but yeah, if I thought Windows had some hope of recovering from this trajectory, now all of them are gone after seeing that. It may not be that, but that strong voice recognition hint tells me, it well could be.

This is fantastic news! 🎉

Lit remains the gold standard in “I want to author #WebComponents but I must have DX I'm already familiar with”. It's truly an incredible project. It powers the best UI framework (imo) in the biz, @webawesome. It was used to build Adobe Photoshop for the web. It was used in Reddit's latest redesign.

Wonderful to see it's been gifted to the community and is no longer a “Google” project. Here's to many more years of being Lit! 🔥

Well... almost.

Just thinking about it made the fire alarm dreams come back, but this time, I was living in New York but still going to high school in North Carolina, and there were some legistical issues after the school caught fire. I couldn't convince the bus driver to drive from Greensboro to NYC, because, at the fastest possible speed the bus could travel, with it's governor, including traffic, it would take about a day each way.

OK, I've been promising this ISO all day now while doing Vibe coding for work projects in the background. It's official. In about 1.5 hours, everyone will have the file at once, through a paid service I'm keeping a week just to do this with. I wasn't charged for them yet, it's kinda pricey per month if you want more than 5 gigs so really that one week will be it, I'm canceling that sub. Even though their site is fairly accessible to use.

Bookface User Styles?

Bookface Userstyles Icon

@Friendica Support

I may have asked this before, but I'd love to know if anyone out there is still using the Bookface Userstyles in a userContent.css stylesheet or with the "Stylus" or "Userscripts" browser extensions?

Because if nobody is really using Bookface Userstyles anymore I'd like to stop updating them. They have some significant differences from the Bookface scheme files and so require a lot of extra manual editing and testing to make sure they work at overriding the Frio theme. They may be how Bookface got started but I'm not using them myself anymore and wondered if anyone else is still relying on them?

Because now I've had to work on yet another branch for the Friendica development Release Candidate, which will at some point become the new "stable" version. But no doubt some server admins will continue running the current stable release well after the next version is released. So maintaining and updating Bookface is already a bit of work, considering it's a side-project that I can only get to when I have time. If people are cool with my dropping the Userstyles that would help.

Of course the existing Userstyles will continue to work with the current stable version of Friendica (2024.12). They haven't been updated to work with the Release Candidate and won't be if I'm retiring them. They'll still be available in my GitLab Repo though, I'm not going to delete them.

I know I said I'd like to stop updating the Bookface Userstyles but I went ahead and did it anyway. In part because I've needed to start using them again myself over at Friendica.World, which switched to the Release Candidate and the Bookface schemes get overwritten every time the server is updated or something.

Anyway, I started by adding all the Bookface 1.8.5 server-side changes to the Userstyles for Friendica Stable:

DOWNLOAD: Userstyles for Friendica Stable

And then did the same for the upcoming version:

DOWNLOAD: Userstyles for Friendica Release Candidate

Instructions on how to use the Userstyles can be found in the Bookface Wiki

Y'all are lucky I'm not in meetings for the afternoon. Going to spend the rest of the day, night, hogging my internet's upload speed to upload this thing in many, many places. Don't y'all worry. Windows 10 will live on. I dare not upload it to the archive because I don't know how to make it not tied to my name, but everywhere it's going to get uploaded to, it'll be annonomous. Must keep it so, and potentially with file expirations, although I'm still looking for a solution that doesn't have that for free accounts and can upload max 5 GB file size.
Again, I repeat: the ISO does not use an activated product key. It installs the generic KMS Windows 10 IoT LTSC key. That's by design, and you'll be asked to activate it just as you would be with any other copy of Windows. Beyond that is up to you. It's not an illegal copy of Windows, what's less legal is redistributing an ISO itself.

better than naming and shaming, come help me with my IETF draft, recently adopted by v6ops WG:
datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft…

A recommendation for filtering address records in stub resolvers

Since IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are represented by different resource records in the Domain Name System, operating systems capable of running both IPv4 and IPv6 need to execute two queries when resolving a host name.

> The final thing interesting for the triple ratchet is that it nicely combines the best of both worlds. Between two users, you have a classical DH-based ratchet going on one side, and fully independently, a KEM-based ratchet is going on. Then, whenever you need to encrypt something, you get a key from both, and mix it up to get the actual encryption key. So, even if one ratchet is fully broken, be it because there is now a quantum computer, or because somebody manages to break either elliptic curves or ML-KEM, or because the implementation of one is flawed, or..., the Signal message will still be protected by the second ratchet. In a sense, this update can be seen, of course simplifying, as doubling the security of the ratchet part of Signal, and is a cool thing even for people that don't care about quantum computers.

as has been pointed out by DJB, nobody seems to be able to trust the new PQC crypto which is why we have to do these hybrids. They're actively resisting an attempt by the NSA to have non-hybrid PQC being standardized

Which leaves me feeling like this isn't as amazing as they want you to believe. They did a lot of work because they can't trust the new crypto to fully replace the classical.

Periodic reminder: It is not because a method is marked as deprecated that it suddenly stop working. No it just mean that the method is marked for removal in a future release. Your code is not broken. It is guaranteed to work until that future release. You have the time to plan the migration to the new method or workflow. Please don't got into panick mode over a deprecation. #PHP #OSS #maintenance #deprecation

Also, it's totally not legal to upload it. Which is quite unfortunate. That's why I'm doing the 100 download / 24 hour limit for this one. Darn. I thought you could, but nope, it's considered redistribution, which is like, a big no-no. Of course no idea how that applies after it's out-of-support, but will I take that risk? Probably not, at least for now I won't host a full Win10 ISO just yet on my own personal site that's super traceable back to me.
I expect this upload to take hours. probably 2 or 3? At only 5-10 MBPS upload? Yeah it's not good.

Wow, a file downloading service that lets people download as I'm uploading? What a weird concept! I wonder how this works. Because the file downloader sees the full file size at the start too, so does your download slow to the speed of my upload? Cause on Xfinity, let me tell you, it's crap. But if someone wants to download as I upload? Be my guest, cause this link expires in 24 hours or after 100 downloads, ha. wormhole.app/PpboXr#Qee8hu0BID…

Help steph, a trans woman, & her girlfriend move to a safer, trans-inclusive, protective state - away from where they are currently (Ripon). Safety for trans people there has become increasingly questionable and uncertain and they would need as much help as possible from us as they find temporary jobs and plan the move. Steph has a youtube channel as well that I'll link below.

The donations will be used for: rent, tickets, transportation, HRT etc.
