Доступна платформа совместной разработки Forgejo 9.0, перешедшая на лицензию GPLv3

Опубликован выпуск платформы совместной разработки Forgejo 9.0, позволяющей развернуть на своих серверах систему для совместной работы с репозиториями Git, напоминающую по решаемым задачам GitHub, Bitbucket и Gitlab. Forgejo является форком проекта Gitea, который в свою очередь ответвился от платформы Gogs. Отделение Forgejo произошло в 2022 году после попыток коммерциализации Gitea и перехода управления в руки коммерческой компании. Проект Forgejo придерживается принципов независимого управления и подконтрольности сообществу. На использование Forgejo перешёл Git-хостинг Codeberg.org. Код проекта написан на языке Go и распространяется под лицензией MIT.

#whatsapp query. Greetings everyone. I have been noticing as of late that podcasters such as Jonathan mosen and other podcasters have obtained US phone numbers so people can message them on WhatsApp and they can use the recordings or texts on their podcasts. Can anyone advise where these numbers are obtained because this is something interesting that I would like to explore but am unsure on how to go about obtaining one of these numbers to use with WhatsApp. Thank you so much.
in reply to Scott Rutkowski

I'm also interested about WhatsApp numbers. I know @JonathanMosen had his voicemail number at a service called something-depot (I don't remember the first part of the name, sorry). And as for WhatsApp, that was a UK number, if I'm not mistaken. But still interested.


I was asking myself, what happens when a garbage fire collides with another garbage fire? Then I stumbled upon this


I do not like ProtonMail. I get that it's supposed to be more secure, but honestly? I don't particularly see email as a secure medium.

This is just a personal preference I'm expressing, but:

  • Their web UIs seem to try to be glitzy and flashy but lack some of the basic rock solid functionality I look for.
  • I resent the idea that it's freemium, unless I want to use standard mail protocols, in which case it's premium. (I have NO problem paying. Just charge me!)

I am vastly happier with my @fastmail experience in just about every way. I'm not trying to beat on anyone, just expressing what I see and the conclusions I have come to as a happy/unhappy customer of each service.

in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt I absolutely don't doubt it. Their mail interface is a Javascript SPA. Not my idea of a good time, but that's how their super secret client side encryption jank-tasticness works.
in reply to Feoh

And the desktop app for letting you access email via IMAP has accessibility issues.

What I learnt yesterday:
Narrator cannot read Notepad2.
Very strange.
in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt Indeed. JAWS doesn't read anything in Notepad2 either, which is frustrating when I want to recommend it to people. @tspivey @FreakyFwoof
in reply to James Scholes

@jscholes @tspivey Ah, I hadn't tested with JAWS yet.

Isn't Notepad2 basically dead? The version I downloaded, 5.0.26-beta4, was built in 2012.

in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt You're right, but it's a text editor. It doesn't have IDE features or complex integrations with third party tools, and its specific programming language support is mostly visual. I essentially use it because it's like Windows Notepad, but with regular expressions in find/replace and some convenient line editing hotkeys. @tspivey @FreakyFwoof
in reply to James Scholes

@jscholes @matt @tspivey I quite liked [qtnc/6pad2: 6pad++, the successor of 6pad text editor; in C++ and python instead of C and lua.](github.com/qtnc/6pad2)
in reply to Sean Randall

@jscholes @matt @tspivey in fact, I used it when I was teaching students an intro to Python course using the BBC Microbit. I built a REPL and code flashing system directly into the notepad.
So it was very much just a notepad, but you could hit f5 to send your code to the attached Microbit.

I have an Apple script command that lets me know what has been copied to clipboard. Nothing on iOS, though.

De los "turistas" españoles detenidos en Venezuela ni media palabra en los medios desde hace un mes.

Dieron la noticia el primer día y después la bola del desierto.

Ni familiares montando escándalo, ni tertulias hablando de ellos, ni fotos de sus redes sociales,...

Si de verdad fueran gente normal de turismo los teníamos hasta en la sopa. Un poquillo sospechoso el tema.

Salvo que sea discreción diplomática, parece algo sospechoso.


Yet another case where Orca does *not* do the right thing. Given right and left arrows are to move you by character, guess what they do with checkboxes? If you guessed move through the chacters, you're wrong! It moves you by the checkboxes themselves. Yay for yet another case of not following precident.
in reply to modulux

@modulux That may be true of UI dialogs on the OS level, but I'm referring more specifically to web pages here. It's not just checkboxes; if you have a huge radio button you can't easily read it on a granular level because it'll just past the text and go onto the next one. In short, it's like r and x get bound to the arrows, which is a real pain in the dick when you're taking a quiz and need to actually pay attention.

Oh I see what you mean. I didn't realise you meant on the web.

Beware of any so-called "Christian" movement that proclaims the world is full of enemies to be destroyed, rather than full of neighbors to be loved.

Beware of any so-called "Christian" movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath but never a source of God's mercy, generosity, or compassion.

Beware of any so-called "Christian" movement that requires crowds in vast numbers to glorify its leaders instead of humbling themselves before others.

Tapping the sign again:

Being autistic does not make anyone sexist, racist, eugenicist, an advocate for gendered violence, an apologist for child abuse, or any of the things that white dudes in open source technology are starting to be held accountable for.

Being an *asshole* makes someone an advocate for abuse.

Stop infantilizing grown-ass adults.

Criticism of a sexual harasser is not ableist. You know what's ableist? Your colleagues who refuse to prioritize accessibility in FLOSS.

There was a lot of news the other day about passkeys and portability - fidoalliance.org/fido-alliance… - that says in part:

"Until now, there has been no standard for the secure movement of credentials, and often the movement of passwords or other credentials has been done in the clear."

This is true, but... there is also still no standard for any of that. The specs are mostly empty placeholders.

And, Christ On A Bike, going to press to announce the important developments in your shiny new security protocol, with "Security Considerations: TODO Security" _right there in the text of the spec_ does not fill me with confidence that you are taking this seriously.

This is the most important thing you need to know about passkeys: that "Authorizing Party" box in the spec?

That's not you. They're not actually "your" passkeys.

Celebrating 20 Years of Google Summer of Code opensource.googleblog.com/2024…


How to ruin your day:

  1. Try to turn on your Macbook and find it dead.
  2. Send it for replacement.
  3. Boot up the good old Macbook from the bottom of the wardrobe.
  4. Start the migration assistant
  5. Be happy that it found your time machine backup on NAS.
  6. Enter the encryption key for the backup
  7. Be happy you've done that on a first try as why would they support the password managers or at least the copy/paste...
  8. Begin the NW transfer and wait.... WAIT
  9. Find out it's deadly slow, do some googling and check whether you still support SMB1 on NAS
  10. Shit - you do - so stop the process, disable SMB1 and start over 4-6, because on 7 you get "Mount failed".
  11. Try the encryption key again, again and AGAIN, still "mount failed"

12-1024. Restarts, googling, backing out to SMB1, first friend on a phone, second, third... still F...ing "mount failed".

I'm out of reasons, the sparsbundle works, you can mount it, decrypt it, even get some data via time-machine itself, but that bloody migration assistant doesn't ever works correctly again.

I have a genuine question; I promise that even though I have a view, this is being posted with an open mind.
With all the guide dog discrimination on Lyft and Uber, why haven't I seen much in the way of people advocating for, or companies moving towards, the implementation of a feature which would allow riders to disclose the service animal on their profile? I got into a debate with someone on Twitter a few years ago about this, and the best they could come up with is that they "don't want to have to wait longer than other people."
Animal alergies are real. Think whiping Mcdonald's crumbs out of your car is difficult? What about dog hair?
Animal phobias are also real. I work with someone whose sister is so afraid of cats that she won't work in someone's house that contains a cat. Seriously it's almost primal!
Dislike of dogs and things about them is real. I don't have a dog alergy, I don't have a fear of dogs, but I made it clear to my sister that I really preferred it if her dog didn't hop on my bed.
I saw in an article today that Lyft might be adding a way to disclose service animals. This, is fair. This, is what needs to happen. This, protects drivers and riders alike. At least from my point of view.
If you don't believe this, why? I genuinely want to know the prospectives of people who don't, because I'm trying to understand that and I've only heard from one guy.

in reply to Juanjo

@modulux And with respect to the hair, it is true that they leave hair, but it is also true that there are people who vomit in the car, or who wear mink coats... and nothing happens. We already have enough discrimination without adding more labels to our profile.
in reply to Juanjo

I'm not sure that's comparable. Passengers will very rarely vomit in a car, and you can't tell in advance if they will. A dog will definitely leave hair behind. That said I'm not convinced the hair argument is good enough to put against someone's right to transport. For me, the allergies are a clear case; the fear is too; but I admit that lots of people could easily claim that to avoid doing it, and I don't know how to solve that.
