in the middle east there is a thing called a المهباج "muhbaj" which is a combined coffee grinder and a musical instrument. its filled with roasted coffee beans that make a low "thud" when you smush them, and the rim makes a high "tak" when you tap it. at the end of a "performance" (??) you have ground coffee you can serve your guests and loved ones.

its a unified manifestation of the cultural importance of music, rhythm, coffee, and hospitality. i love it.

argh, #Nextcloud … das hat ja Profile. Und ich will die benutzen. Aber diese Profile sind grundsätzlich erstmal mostly public. Ich will sie aber by default auf "visible for logged-in user only" haben. Hat das schonmal jemand gefixt? docs.nextcloud.com/server/late… unten schlägt einen Patch vor, der funktioniert bei mir aber nicht (auch nicht bei neuen Benutzern). 😕
Hatte schon jemand mal das Problem (und möglicherweise sogar gelöst)?

:boost_ok:

Members of German Chaos Computer Club (CCC) have demonstratively patched "highly secure" VPN-routers encrypting medical data
in order to enable the use of updated encryption certificates.

Router manufacturers had provided devices without a certificate update option.
The hack could save health insurances & their customers from up to 400 mio €€€ of extra cost for new hardware.

"Dazu müssten die neuen Zertifikate [...] abgelegt und das Python-Skript save_400m_euro.py gestartet werden."

I've posted an announcement at weblate.bubu1.eu/ about the future of this weblate instance.

TL;DR: It's being continued within #codeberg as translate.codeberg.org/ (announcement upcoming)

It still feels like letting down current users somehow, even though overall this should be a very positive step. *sigh*

A while ago I set up Gitlab Service Desk[1] for #FDroidClassic. (It turns an email inbox into a help-desk system via standard gitlab features)

It might be somewhat over-engineered for a single person project but I think I still prefer it over the random emails in my inbox I had before. Reacting to support requests, general feedback and (manual) crash reports feels more structured that way at least.

I'm migrating off of Protonmail today 😄.

It's been 3 years since they said they would come to the android f-droid app repository proton.me/blog/android-expansi…

They abandoned the fediverse (@protonmail) mastodon.social/@protonmail/10…

I'm going with free email hosting from my domain registrar gandi.net/en-US/domain/email

I'll be trying K-9 mail on android f-droid.org/en/packages/com.fs…

I'm excited to use the open standard protocols for email.
