Geeks of Mastodon, C writers and API whisperers, are you bored and without a short project?
I would love for #CURL to be able to list Samba directories. Last year I made a PR allowing for local directories listing and wanted to do the the same for smb, but without success. I think succeeding requires knowledge of Windows APIs.
I can provide some help getting it merged.

This is where I got stuck: github.com/colinleroy/curl/com…
(the magic should happen in smb_send_open_directory)

@Rako_Lohgar Das ist strange. Mal bei DivestOS geschaut? Hm, schade: die haben nur 2s und 4. Aber schau mal bei XDA rein, da scheint es ein paar ROMs mit Android 12/13 zu geben: xdaforums.com/f/xiaomi-mi-mix-… – oder gleich bei LOS für Android 13: download.lineageos.org/devices… (lineage-21.0-20241117-nightly-perseus-signed.zip klingt doch "relativ aktuell", oder?)

Really happy with how my latest embroidery project turned out. I used a pattern from a magazine (credit to www.lucyfreeman.co.uk) Learned some new techniques, my favourite being sewing with multiple different colour threads on the same needle to blend colours together!

I have enjoyed Mike Duncan's Revolutions Podcast for years. This fall though he is shipping a fictional piece about a revolution on Mars in the 2200s. Having listened to his historical accounts, I do quite like him using the same tone with a fictional revolution.

History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes as they say.

Personally, I'm saddened by this. I remember a sense of relief reading this blog post 2 years ago. It made me belief Tutanota was on a different path.

web.archive.org/web/2022112810…

But we've gone from:

"The Cyber Monday hype is just another method by marketers and advertisers to keep you buying. ... At Tutanota we have decided not to join the Cyber Monday hype. Instead of advertising regular discounts, we prefer a pricing strategy of a fair and transparent low-priced standard offer. To put it frankly, for being able to drop the price on Cyber Monday, we would have to raise the standard Premium price in the first place.
...
Having a low entry price is essential so that anyone has the chance to upgrade and benefit from Tutanota's Premium features."

⬇️ To:

"We at Tuta are thrilled to offer an exclusive Black Friday and Cyber Monday discount! You can now upgrade to our Legend Plan - with 62% off for the first year."

😥


Every day is Cyber Monday at Tutanota.

Cyber Monday is not about getting the best deal. It's about selling you stuff you don't need.

I’m happy to see that the GOV.UK Service Manual’s “Building a robust frontend using progressive enhancement” page was updated this week and made it to the top of Hacker News today.

I ran UnixBench (github.com/kdlucas/byte-unixbe…) on my new Quartz64 SBC (RK3566 SoC, quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 CPU, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB eMMC). I ended up running it four times, with different settings of the Linux CPU frequency governor. Here are the results, in the order that I obtained them:

1. schedutil (default): mwcampbell.us/quartz64-unixben…
2. performance: mwcampbell.us/quartz64-unixben…
3. powersave: mwcampbell.us/quartz64-unixben…
4. schedutil again: mwcampbell.us/quartz64-unixben…

I ran it with the schedutil governor twice to make sure the first result wasn't a fluke, because what really stood out to me about the first result was how far the Pipe-based Context Switch test lagged behind the others on the single-core run. Bear in mind that the baseline is a SPARCstation 20-61, a 90s machine with a CPU clock frequency of no more than 200 MHz (if Wikipedia is correct). 2/?

Regardless of CPU frequency scaling, it's clear that context switching performance hasn't improved as fast as raw computing performance. That's no surprise. But when comparing the results, it seems that the Pipe-based Context Switch test, when running in single-core mode, doesn't cause the schedutil governor to scale up the clock frequency beyond the minimum. So I guess that governor, at least on that processor, wouldn't be good for workloads that are heavy on context switching. 3/?

Navazuji na včerejší tip.

Tady je porovnání iPhone a různých odnoží Androidu. Většina lidí má "Android" - distribuci plnou šmírovátek od Google obohacenou o bloatware výrobce, který nejen že šmíruje po svém, ale často zavléká bezpečnostní chyby, zabírá místo v úložišti i RAM.

V GrapheneOS mimo jiné vůbec není položka "Reklama" s Mobile Advertising ID.

@RaccoonForFriendica a new version 0.2.0 has been released.

Changelog:
🦝 feat: add support for MastodonRedirect;
🦝 feat: export/import app settings to/from JSON;
🦝 feat: export contact list from profile;
🦝 feat: allow changing markup mode in post creation;
🦝 fix: retain scrolling state after navigation;
🦝 fix: newlines after titles in Markdown preview;
🦝 fix: avoid self mention when replying;
🦝 fix: retrieve source to edit post;
🦝 enhancement: populate current app icon value in settings;
🦝 chore: update manual and project documentation;
🦝 chore: typo in Fastlane metadata.

For those who have lost it, there has been a 0.1.1 in the meantime, which was mainly due to a metadata issue which blocked the submission on F-Droid, but it also included:
🦝 feat: add support for alternate (classic) and monochrome app icon;
🦝 fix: rendering images of different heights in carousels;
🦝 fix: rendering GIFs (or images with unbound constraints).

After the app gets published on the stores, we're going to move towards a more predictable release cycle (e.g. monthly stable versions and weekly betas).

Hope you are having fun on Friendica (or Mastodon) and as always #livefasteattrash

"Tesla's vehicles have the highest fatal accident rate among all car brands in America, according to a recent study that analyzed data from the U.S. Fatality Analysis Reporting System."

Tesla's fatality rate is double the national average. Driver behavior is a contributing factor to the high number of deaths (i.e. shitty-driving assholes are more likely to buy Teslas and die or kill someone else while driving them).

Another Brexit fiasco.... British cheeses failed to get to the World Cheese Awards in Portugal as they failed to clear customs in time (now being from a non-EU country).

In the scale of the disasters of Brexit its not going to to be a big thing (although it will be for the frustrated cheese makers), but is emblematic of how myopic the Brexiters were about the impact of their successful plan to leave Europe....

Super nice #macOS related fixes upcoming in #LibreOffice💪❤️
macOS dictation had a problem where dictated text would only show, once you make a pause speaking. That was inconvenient as it is much easier to gather your thoughts when spoken text appears immediately.

Another issue that has been ongoing for many many years was, that when you scrolled the sheet in calc and while scrolling was still ongoing pressed cmd for some operation, the zoom level would change. This extremely annoying behavior is no longer.

Both fixes done by #PatrickLuby of #NeoOffice - we should all thank him!

Will take some time for those to trickly down into stable, but 25.2 will bring those fixes for sure.
