Eight years ago on this date, I had to publicly share this #curl security advisory as perhaps one of my lamest mistakes ever: curl.se/docs/CVE-2016-9594.htm…
We learn from our mistakes. Hopefully.

"One fun anecdote is that companies or governments will often say they need months or years to prepare (CLEAN UP) code for open sourcing. Because on the inside, people allow themselves far worse code than they’d prefer to share with the outside world. Open source code often has higher standards, and it is a great mechanism of keeping you on track."

Day 23 - #adventOfIOSAccessibility. Sometimes your UI will just not optimally scale for large text sizes. Simple changes, for accessibility sizes, like composing elements vertically instead of horizontally, reducing the number of columns, and allowing more lines of text, can do the trick most times.

Summing up #curl's 2024 in a single image could possibly look like this.
28 years into this never-ending journey, development activity is higher than ever before.

Zvolený americký prezident Trump obvinil Panamu, že vybírá nadměrné poplatky za využívání Panamského průplavu. Pohrozil, že pokud země nebude vodní cestu spravovat přijatelněji, mohl by požadovat předání její správy Spojeným státům. https://www.Český rozhlas

At first the $200/year (couples) membership for it felt like a lot, even if there's a trial. Sadly the more of a modern society we live in though, these services are becoming so essential - not just data broker monitoring, but also the credit fraud and identity theft prevention, VPN, and if you want, their own antivirus software built-in to their interface.
It's fairly accessible, sometimes the labels can be verbose. Sadly an XAML-based app that sometimes likes the read out the internal object names of UX elements, that kind of deal. I still say though, if you want peace of mind for your data and knowing what's up with it on the dark web, get Aura, you won't regret it. We used aura.com/kitboga because we love Kit.

I just released version 0.1.0 of rsop-oct, a new stateless #OpenPGP ("SOP") CLI tool that focuses exclusively on use with OpenPGP card hardware devices:
crates.io/crates/rsop-oct/0.1.…
Like its sibling project #rsop, rsop-oct is based on @rpgp
In the next release of rsop, OpenPGP card functionality will be removed from it.
The goal is to offer clear UX in two distinct simple CLI tools, as opposed to one combined and confusing CLI tool.
For more on #SOP, see datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft…

I looked up the enterprise management features of the Firefox and Chrome browsers and wrote down how to turn off the advertising features once by installing the right config files in the right places. Not hard and affects all accounts and profiles, so a big time saver

It's interesting to listen to US officials are still trying to grapple with Luigi Mangione's folk hero status.
Here's the Biden administration's Secretary of Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

"I was told Rockchip no longer considers RK3588 to be an “open source” chip. In practice, that means Rockchip no longer contributes RK3588 code to open-source projects and they also decided not to sell RK3588 directly to SBC vendors." cnx-software.com/2024/12/21/ro…
This, paired with Joshua Riek stepping away from ubuntu-rockchip, doesn't bode well for RK3588's SBC futures.
Maybe why Radxa is going with a different vendor for their next flagship board, the Orion 6?

It is completely mind boggling to me that proposing a simple rail system that would end up looking like this across Canada is generally met with claims of impossibility and impracticality.
(This is a transcontinental freight train in Austria heading to Italy and/or Slovenia and possibly beyond)

To whit: Canada in 1974 pop. 22 million vs
Canada in 2024 pop. 40 million.
These are maps of the networks for CPRail and Greyhound buses in 1974.
Both CPRail and Greyhound have ceased to exist in terms of passenger service and have not been replaced.
VIARail and CNRail also had significant passenger services, VIA primarily, but CNRail no longer has any and VIA is a shadow of its former self.
For freight, CP has shed all but the main routes between major cities as has CN and both have pursued mergers with American lines to increase their market share.
It’s not population density, it’s unfettered, deregulated, super-capitalism that killed land-based travel in Canada.
