Running #chatmail servers is <2h effort per month, according to an ad-hoc poll with 10 operators responding. Some have 10Ks of #deltachat users. Typically 300MB ram is used and max 60gb disc space per server. And all interoperate safely based on high security standards (DKIM and TLS enforced, and only no-metadata #openpgp encrypted messages allowed) .... with typically 0.5 secs end-to-end delivery. Who said again that email is insecure, cumbersome and slow? :)
Screenshot of 10 chatmail operators polled about "admin hours spent last month" with two saying "0 hours" and 8 saying "less than 2 hours" with none spending more.

@Jage ah yeah interesting, didn't realize they're a Polish company. Wanted to pick one up for my partner - they like the portability of the smaller displays. Looking at the Dealer page they list some in Mexico for North America, and their UK dealer does not list the product which was odd and thwarted me from finding a price. (braillepen.com/contact/) - suppose I'll also fill that form out and see what they get back to me with.

This could be a very good solution for those not wanting to connect to their phone hotspot, as that can be a battery drain. There's lots of potential here. T-Mobile launches first-of-a-kind 5G connectivity device with a special introductory discount - PhoneArena phonearena.com/news/T-Mobile-l…

I just released reproducible-apk-tools v0.3.0 :nkotada:

github.com/obfusk/reproducible…

Mostly small improvements, e.g. the AXML parser now supports offset16/compact/sparse ResTable type/entry, no major changes. I have not yet found a test case for FLAG_SPARSE, so support is untested and help is appreciated!

• change license from GPLv3+ to AGPLv3+. • binres.py: support offset16, compact, FLAG_SPARSE (untested) etc. • binres.py: small fixes, warn "please file an issue" for untested/notimplemented code. ...

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.

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.
