oh I'll have to listen to that. I first used an Index when I got access to Dolphin's Cipher Braille translator with Windows 95.

@cachondo You are far more experienced than me. I have a second hand V3. There is something liberating about having the ability to produce your own braille. Although I don’t use braille as much as I would like. I welcome your feedback.
oh I make them. Sudokus, too, but I had to get hold of movable braille numbers for that. I use print scrabble tiles with braille paper numbers glued on them when I'm at my desk for that.

That red skirt I just mended with the little embroidered daisy? Welp, got it stuck on something and ripped the waist opening of it, didn't I. 😆 I don't have thread or a patching fabric that exactly matches so I went the scrap piece of fabric of a good weight and highly visible mending route. I'm thinking it's going to be either a colourful fern or a peacock feather, but bed calls me.
A short reminder that, starting tomorrow (2024-11-06), there will be a row of maintenance windows at our main service provider. Hopefully you won't notice any of them – and regarding our F-Droid repo, our mirrors will have you covered. Just the web server might (shortly) be unavailable.

The US Navy equipped dolphins with cameras to study their unique underwater hunting abilities. The footage captured showed remarkable dolphin teamwork and precision in capturing fish, demonstrating the animals' incredible diving skills and adaptability in varied environments. This innovative research sheds light on how dolphins utilize their sonar and echolocation for hunting.
A buzz of clicks and gleeful victory squeals compose the soundtrack in the first footage ever recorded from the perspective of dolphins freely hunting off the coast of North America.

I hope you mean that radio's got a 3.5 mm headphone jack. I can't imagine the diameter of one 3.5 inches. That's about the size of a cup holder in a car!
@cachondo hehehehehe! lol! glad you enjoyed it. there are other podcasts up there. I don'thave a whole lot, but I like to think the ones up there will help people out.
we don't have anything comparable to your national weather radio service here. Our shipping forecast goes out a few times a day and there are specialist marine radios that use VHF I think, but tuning into 24/7 weather on a home receiver seems a pretty different way of doing it to me here in the UK.

This is the second layoff at Mozilla this year, the first affecting dozens of staff on the side of the organization that builds the popular Firefox browser.
* Aurora Store: the inofficial PlayStore client has been added on special request. At IoD it's one of the #reproducibleBuilds 🛡️ * Aegis: the 2FA app has been added at special request, too * OpenBible: download & read the bible in different languages 🛡️
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
@leeloo F-Droid describes itself as decentralized and stresses the importance to not be "locked into F-Droid as the monopoly app provider" (see: f-droid.org/en/2022/02/05/dece…) – so we help with that. Furthermore, several apps have #reproducibleBuilds at IoD but not there (e.g. Aurora Store). IzzyOnDroid performs extra checks (see: android.izzysoft.de/articles/n…). So this increases security and also resilience. Also, some people prefer one place and others the other, developers included 😉
Nachdem der Library-Scanner nun seit mehreren Jahren im IzzyOnDroid Repo im Einsatz ist war es an der Zeit, einige zusätzliche APK-Prüfungen zu etablieren.

I'm on a social media fast, which is why you haven't heard much from me, but I did want to share one cool thing. Our stuff has been 8-bit RGB for a while, but it's increasingly clear that's not going to cut it in an HDR world. Inspired by bevy_color and some conversations, I've started a color crate: github.com/linebender/color
If you're into color, I'd love your feedback. If you use color in Rust, let me know whether this crate would be useful, or what might be changed.

Zmizeli beze stopy. Tragédii hokejových reprezentantů stále halí záhada
Přesně před sto lety, 5. listopadu 1924, se narodil český hokejový útočník Karel Stibor. Mistr světa z roku 1947 a stříbrný medailista z olympiády o rok později byl jednou z obětí leteckého neštěstí, při kterém zemřelo i pět jeho parťáků. Připomeňte si jednu z největších tragédií v historii českého sportu.

Start DeGoogling today and stop Big G from exploiting your data! In this in-depth guide learn how to quit Google apps for good, and start using Tuta’s privacy expert’s recommended apps instead.
Not only are they Chromium based and thus IMO shouldn't be included if vanilla Chromium is in the list, but they also have their weird crypto stuff and the CEO has A LOT of problematic views.
I'm not really fond of including it due to the founders homophobic past.
The argument of not including it because it's Chromium falls short in my opinion as DuckDuckGo and Privacy Browser are included, which on Android use System WebView (likely Chrome WebView). WebView is a lot less secure then a Chromium based browser.
I believe Firefox based browsers are also less secure on Android due to not having Per-Site Process Isolation.
Brave is a valid option because it is one of the few (or only) open source chromium browsers that has a built in ad/content-blocker, uses proper anti-fingerprinting protections, has extra privacy features, and benefits from the chromium security. I underastand the concerns regarding the crypto crap, but those can be turned off. That being said it is a valid option, especially for newbies.
Here's some changes It'd suggest: - Add @organicmaps to the gmaps alternatives. it's by far the easiest osm based maps app - Add @ente auth for google auth alternatives. it's much more feature rich and it's foss - add @kagihq to the search engines. They're privacy respecting * one small note is that they do utilize google as one of it's search indexes that it uses, so you'd still be giving google some money technically (had to mention it)
Why are you recommending Authy, a very shitty service, but not Organic Maps and Obtainium for .apk updates?
For browsers there is Mulch and Mull from DivestOS, which are forks of Chromium and Firefox respectively or Brave. Either of which would be much better than Fennec, Privacy Browser, or Firefox from a privacy or security perspective.
Because most web developers don't seem to build websites with Firefox users in mind, there are a good number of websites that function poorly in Firefox.
So, for the users seeking an alternative that don't want to use Firefox, I'd say include an open source Chromium-based browser. There are none that are convenient, except Brave and Chromium itself. But Chromium would be defeating the purpose.
Unfortunately, the majority of people care more about convenience than anything else.
@adam_wysokinski /e/OS is an extraordinarily insecure operating system massively rolling back security even more than LineageOS already does. It completely destroys the security model and is always at least a year behind on providing full privacy/security patches. CalyxOS is problematic for security, LineageOS is far more problematic but /e/OS is an extreme form of that comparable to you recommending people use Windows 8 because it's not from Google.
Some recommendations: - Add ente auth from @ente instead of Authy. - Add proton pass from @protonprivacy to the password manager section. - Add mullvad browser from @mullvadnet to the browser section. - Also add @brave too since even if it is based on chromium it is still better than using chrome. - Add divestos.org/ to the alternative os section.
What’s wrong with Chromium? Browsers based on it use a robust sandbox and enhanced security measures. According to @GrapheneOS recommendations, we should "avoid Gecko-based browsers like Firefox as they're currently much more vulnerable to exploitation and inherently add a huge amount of attack surface". grapheneos.org/usage#web-brows…
Your current list includes 5 web browsers where 3 of them completely lack even a content sandbox due to being based on Firefox for Android and the other 2 are based on Chromium. DuckDuckGo and Privacy Browser are WebView-based browsers using the system WebView implementation, which is provided by the OS with a Chromium-based browser engine. On Android operating systems including the Google apps and services, DuckDuckGo and Privacy Browser are directly using Google Chrome itself.
Chromium shows that the browser itself is alright, it's the figurative "last 5%", where Google adds proprietary features to create Chrome, that taints the well.
Also, for people who are trying to promote cancel culture towards Brave, there are also great people at Brave, such as @bcrypt.
No cos it's run by a homophobe, it contains shady crypto nonsense that add their own ad service, and it's overall controversial, making it safer for you to not include them. Their ad system makes a lot of money to Brave, but it does not to the users nor to the websites. I'd say it's scummy. Apparently the broswer also automatically added affiliate link to purchases. Affiliate links enable tracking.
Hi. I just realised you have a typo on this image - it’s Ecosia - you have an extra s. You need to fix it on the blog too where you mention Google services’ alternatives: it’s on the image again - the name of the search engine . Thank you for the great post 🙏🏼
Wild ass day in the Tor node operator world. Got an email from my VPS, forwarding a complaint from WatchDog CyberSecurity saying that my box was scanning SSH ports!
> Oh no, oh no, I knew I should have set up fail2ban, oh god why was I so lackadaisical!
So I remote in to the machine: no unusual network activity, no unusual processes, users, logins, command history, no sign that anything is doing anything I didn't tell it to do.
So what's up? Turns out there's been a widespread campaign where some actor is spoofing IPs to make it look like systems running Tor are scanning port 22: forum.torproject.org/t/tor-rel…
Operators from all over are saying they're getting nastygrams from their VPS providers because WatchDog is fingering their source IPs (which are being spoofed and NOT part of a global portscanning botnet).
It would be hard to explain to Verizon I run Tor relays since they technically don't allow servers. I hope I'm not forced onto AT&T Internet Air as my particular co-op rental unit won't let met get Spectrum even when other units can, not that I wante…
