Už jen pár posledních dnů je možné přihlásit přednášku na letošní Den #IPv6, který se uskuteční v tradičním termínu 6. června 2025 v NTK v Praze. denipv6.cz/cs/
A Tuta csapatát kérdeztük a kvantumszámítógépek fenyegetéséről: bár távolinak tűnhet, de már most valós veszély a jelenlegi titkosítások villámgyors visszafejtésének lehetősége, mert a kiberbűnözők már készülnek rá! 💻 Viszont megjelent a TutaCrypt, egy kvantumbiztos titkosítás, amely már most működik. 🔐 @Tutanota #tuta #biztonság #titkosítás
Somebody tried to torch the Governor of Pennsylvania's home while he and his family were in it and how that isn't the top story today along with I don't know, a question to Trump as to why he hasn't deployed the FBI to investigate (or called the Governor to check on him) is beyond me.
A scratched Tesla is terrorism. The attempted murder of a Democrat, just fine it seems.

After discovering that digital braille readers can cost up to $20,000, a 14-year-old boy named Yash Mehta has created his own version for less than $50.
He is in the ninth grade and has a passion for engineering and helping others.

For those #blind folks into #flight #simulation, you should know that talking Flight Monitor is out of beta and ready for people to buy. It would appear that the PMDG 777 is accessible with the panels and such. I'm watching a stream with the features. youtube.com/watch?v=nG4MGKYDEn…
Someone hacked into traffic lights in Palo Alto and played AI-generated snippets of Elon Musk. :) Apparently, there was also one of Zuckerberg playing in one of the traffic light polls! :) reddit.com/r/paloalto/s/aGJgeG…
I was sad to learn of Jean Marsh's passing. I first became familiar with her in Doctor Who but I'm currently watching Upstairs, Downstairs and I love her in that series. May she rest in peace.
UPDATE: After this story was prepared for publication, ICE awarded a new contract worth up to $3.8 billion for this company to operate a migrant detention camp on Fort Bliss — its largest contract yet.
It's the first time ICE is moving ahead with plans to detain thousands of people arrested on U.S. military bases in tents before deportation. propublica.org/article/trump-d…
The privately held company Deployed Resources has made billions running tent detention facilities to hold immigrants entering the U.S. at the border. Now it is cashing in again on Trump’s plan to hold immigrants before deportation.

Its a pity about the Ubiquity, I didn't realize their UI would be unuseable. They've been on my list of wi-fi access points to investigate for a long time.
Ubiquiti isn't unusable (at least with a screen reader). The web UI isn't winning any awards but you can get the job done, and there's an iOS app that I personally use for a lot of stuff.
I have a friend who manages over 200 Ubiquiti sites. He has a list of URLs to get to some of the harder to find stuff directly. I should really get that one of these days. I can usually find what I'm looking for on the web UI when I need to use it, which isn't that often, as I can do most things from the iOS app, but, yeah...
When I last played with their stuff, the best way to control more advanced features was from the command line. And that was a very, very steep learning curve for most people.
@BorrisInABox@neurrone@jscholes I have a Mikrotik gateway from back in my bitcoin mining days. They do their own thing, in their own way. If you don't mind taking a course because you're planning to manage hundreds of the things, that's not a problem. But you do need to take the course, and if you're just using one, that seems like a waist of eight hours.
Die Saison hat begonnen! Bitte stellt Roller nach dem benutzen vernünftig ab. Und wenn ihr seht, dass einer im Weg steht/liegt und ihr kräftig genug seid, stellt die Dinger bitte weg. Diese Barrieren müssen nicht sein! Für rollstuhlfahrende, Gehbehinderte oder Menschen mit Kinderwagen bedeuten solche Hindernisse mindestens Arbeit, wenn nicht weiträumige Umwege. Für Blinde bergen sie Verletzungsgefahr.
Stellt sie an den Rand, evtl. sogar Auf den Grünstreifen neben dem Weg. Ihr helft damit sehr!
Anyone who is blind, or who has worked with the blind, knows how expensive our technology can be. This couldn't be more true with relation to braille displays. Even the cheapest costs at least $799, and it's already behind the newest in that line, at $899. This is the Orbit Reader 20 and 20+. Now, a student in India wants to change that by creating a display that is truly affordable (under $50)! Please pass this on, so that we can give him greater recognition within the blind community. Even if it costs a bit more than he initially suspected it would, there is no excuse for the $2,000 to $5,000 average price of such technology when cheaper alternatives can be designed! He is determined to bring this to market, so let's help him do it and show our appreciation for his hard work on this life-changing project!
The big drawback to refreshable braille devices has always been their cost. The loose rule of estimation applied to these products has translated into something like $100 to $150 per braille cell.
They only work on OSHW, but the people working on the hardware get paid for the designs, and, then use localised manufacturing for the distribution. :D
It gets the overall energy-costs down per end-user, but still means that the engineers involved can get paid a fair rate. :D
All ventures are open and collaborative. They are forkable and remixable. Some ventures create products and services, but not all ventures engage in market transactions, some disseminate their production through alternative means.
@milan Hey, ich habe eine Anmerkung zu Pixelfed. Wenn ich über die App "Pixelix" ein größeres Foto hochlade (nicht unbedingt über 20MB, gerade knapp 13), bekomme ich einen Fehler angezeigt, den es laut Entwickler der App nicht geben dürfte. Hat das irgendwas mit der Instanz zu tun?

New post: Using LLMs as the first line of support in Open Source.
With a small amount of prep, we can help users to help themselves, rather than needing maintainer attention, for support requests that we could do without.
IMHO somewhat despicable to put the comic in the name of Scott McCloud, and even more to put words in his mouth. After all, he just did a gig nigh 20 years ago where he drew the developers saying stuff. It wasn't like he developed Chrome before or since.
Particularly nasty as Elliott takes the "Hi, I'm McCloud" -phrase from McCloud's howto-books, not from the Google-work.
The "McCloud" in the contra chrome-comic is Ben Goodger, who actually DID work on Chrome until 2024.
Great info. I've been using both FireFox and Brave browser for a while now. I still use Gmail & Youtube, unfortunately. But I browse using the private functions and a VPN for other stuff as much as possible.
- when I need to use a Chromium-based browser, I use Vivaldi. Norwegian-based and it’s recently partnered with Proton (so, from Switzerland) to incorporate their VPN directly into the browser. European sensibilities when it comes to security and privacy - so much higher than US-based Google, DuckDuckGo, Edge et al.
- and as a sidebar, I use Startpage (also based in Europe) as my search engine - for pretty much the same reasons as I avoid the US commercial browsers.
@icing my reading of that ticket is that they do use libcurl-gnutls however OpenLDAP now links against OpenSSL (with the gnutls backend slated for removal) and so libcurl-gnutls ends up linked against OpenSSL
@icing if I understood that correctly, their problem seems to be coming from OpenLDAP, which links against OpenSSL. So libcurl-gnutls doesn't help as long as it links OpenLDAP.
Quote from the thread: > either OpenLDAP needs to use GnuTLS again or libcurl4-gnutls needs to not link against OpenLDAP.
IANAL either, but wouldn't that be a problem only if OpenSSL was statically linked to git?
The Apache license says that:
> For the purposes of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of, the Work [...]
So if libcurl is dynamically linked to OpenSSL, the Apache License conditions doesn't apply, and thus don't propagate to git.
However, on the GPL v2 side it can depend on how you'd interpret section 3:
> [...] However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed [...] with the major components [...] of the operating system on which the executable runs. [...]
I suppose that it then depends on whether libcurl and OpenSSL are considered "a major component of the operating system". If not, nobody (not even git themselves) can redistribute git in binary form. That would also apply to a myriad of other projects aswell (e.g: the Gnome DE uses the Apache 2.0-licensed libcups).
Edit: heck, even the Linux Kernel uses OpenSSL. That would suppose that nobody could redistribute it in binary form? git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/k…
just replied to it with my findings, I couldn't find a single distro that's not linking git with OpenSSL, either directly or indirectly (through libcurl-openssl).
Even GuixOS which doesn't build libcurl with LDAP support ends up linking to libssl on git-imap-send.
now there's a proposal to remove libcurl from the git build as a remedy, which of course would be quite a significant blow to everyone who clones https repositories...
> In Debian's case, the component (OpenSSL) accompanies the executable (Git) on the mirrors and on install media, so it doesn't apply.
I think it's a real stretch to say OpenSSL 'accompanies' the executable here and I can't help but wonder if Brian is stirring the pot deliberately. When I install things via apt, at the very least, I'm fetching individual distributions of program binaries. Stop shipping `git` in any default install images (are there any?) and this shouldn't even be a consideration.
