Mozilla wants to know what you want them to focus on in the next few years. A lot of them are stuff about AI. Y’all should tell them how you feel about that mozillafoundation.tfaforms.net…
I know I'm VERY late to this and I'm past the date where they collect tweets for their llm training... and I'm sorry about that. But hey, finally doing it:
Deleting my Twitter account. I've been here two years now and I was barely using Twitter anyway. Made an account there back in October 2010 and while it has been a positive experience for me, it clearly went downhill when Elon took over. (it was getting worse before that, it just got accelerated)

Larry Dean Harmon, who ran crypto mixer Helix, was given a three-year prison sentence and ordered to forfeit over $400 million in assets, for Bitcoin money laundering.
Just wrote a little blog and made a video about this to hopefully make it easier for folks to figure this out. I've looked it up a few times throughout the years and it was always a little tricky to find.

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.
@hub I just recently had to deal with a service that banned me using an email address at my personal domain but permitted the `+` when I used gmail. #infuriating #weird
Another app I didn't know yet. 🥳 My own device has a CustomROM installed and is rooted (so nearly no unused apps are installed/pre-installed), but probably useful to deblout some family devices.
The "Welcome to RB Family" toots are like a wrap up of the whole repo. 😅
@Smojo unfortunately, they're unlikely to really cover "the whole repo". Should we one day cover half of it, we're lucky I guess. But yeah, always aim a little higher, right 😅
And glad to know these welcome toots are helpful, thanks!
@Rako_Lohgar 😢 Muss ja kein Pixel sein. Bei mir laufen die Geräte auch, bis sie physisch auseinanderfallen (main driver ist noch immer ein Fairphone 2 von 2015 – Dank LineageOS mit Android 11). Ich weiß jetzt nicht welches Gerät Du hast, aber ein CustomROM könnte Dir vielleicht zu einer aktuelleren Android-Version helfen. Lineage deckt ziemlich viel ab, und DivestOS auch viele ältere, die LOS nicht mehr supported (wenn ich mich da jetzt richtig erinnere)…
@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?)
@Rako_Lohgar Oh, one of those… Ja, das ist dann nicht wirklich "benutzerfreundlich". Aber je nachdem wo Du wohnst, gibt es vielleicht etwas hilfsbereites in der Nähe. So wie beispielsweise Topio in Berlin, die (wenn ich mich richtig erinnere) bei solchen "Befreiungsaktionen" helfen.
Ayer celebramos la III Escuela de formación feminista provincial de @izquierda_unida, la primera mixta. Una jornada muy interesante, en la aprendimos muchísimo y un gran paso adelante para hacer de nuestra organización un espacio cada vez más igualitario.
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.
It was incredibly strange to hear the start of the Mars story, in the exact same format and voice as the ten revolutions covered in the main show, but I quickly got into it. He's a great storyteller.
(Recap: I founded the curl project, I am still the lead developer and maintainer) When asking curl to get a URL it'll send the output to stdout by default.
This makes curl is perfect for checking checksums (curl ... | sha256sum -) and checking API results and I always use curl for that. This also makes curl harder to use for downloading files, so I always use wget for that. I's good to have a choice, and to have different tools available for different situations.
I always feel embarrassed, alone at home in my office with nobody watching me of course, when I run curl, see it dump my file to stdout and then use wget instead because I cannot immediately remember how to properly make a file with curl, even though I could spend 30 seconds looking it up. 😅

"Get the top-tier Legend Plan for only €36/year (normally €96/year) for the first year".
So when you renew your subscription, you will be charged at the normal price. I think Tuta should explain in their post more detail about it in Mastodon.
"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."
@stalpomi Hi there :) Unfortunately, everyone else is doing Black Friday promotion and a lot of users are jumping on the deal bandwagon or waiting for Black Friday. If we don't do anything now, they'll go to the competition... However, we have planned the offer so that most existing users can also benefit - not just new customers. I hope you understand that.
MobileX's eSIM service is simple to set up and connects to one of the largest 5G networks in the US for fast, reliable cellular speeds at affordable rates. Here's our review: pcmag.com/reviews/mobilex-esim
In our busy lives, we often forget about or neglect personal security. Having a service to nudge you about best practices can be worth the money — in certain cases.
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. The technology industry would collectively save unimaginable quantities of time, money, energy and stress if this single page were required reading for everyone involved in building a web site. gov.uk/service-manual/technolo…
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:
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/?
I forgot to mention, this is on Debian 12 (bookworm), using the Debian generic ARM64 kernel (currently 6.1.0-27-arm64). It's nice that this SBC has decent support in the mainline kernel, at least for the functionality I currently need. 4/?
I'm going to boot my M1 Mac mini into Linux (Fedora Asahi Remix), run UnixBench there with the different CPU frequency governors, and see what the results look like. I'm sure the M1 is in a different performance category than the RK3566, though they're both ARM64.
BTW, this is an improvised thread, not an artificially split-up long post. 5/?
I just remembered, though, that the Apple Silicon SoCs have two kinds of cores, performance and efficiency cores. That makes a generic benchmark like UnixBench less meaningful, unless I can pin it to one type of core or the other. 6/?
Going back to the Quartz64 SBC, if I correctly understand the intended use case of the ARM Cortex-A55 microarchitecture from Wikipedia, then the RK3566 SoC in the Quartz64 effectively only has efficiency cores, not performance cores. 7/?
Switches to the kernel context took a big perf hit when spectre/meltdown mitigations were put in place. Those impacted older/slower CPUs more. More caches and predictors and such need to be flushed before the switch is safe to continue. (Unclear if your particular device has these mitigations but this is a larger point about perf scaling over time)
