It used to be possible to buy #Deutschlandticket for just a few days at the end of each calendar month for a fraction of monthly price. This feature was now removed from the HVV switch app. 😞

According to the FAQ, they might even stop offering pro-rata for the first month of subscription for people not living in Hamburg.

Deutschlandticket anteilig kaufen: HVV Switch schränkt Kaufmöglichkeit ein » Travel-Dealz.de

Das Deutschlandticket (für mittlerweile 58€) ist eigentlich Monats-Abo vorgesehen. Über die App HVV Switch gibt es aber seit Längerem die Möglichkeit, das Ticket auch anteilig zu kaufen.

Koukám, že #ČEZ od dubna úplně změnil podmínky pro produkt "elektřina pro soláry" a vzhledem k tomu, že mi v červenci skončí stávající smlouva, tak už se pravděpodobně nevyplatí s tímto produktem dále pokračovat. Budu tedy u ČEZu končit a začínám tak hledat nějaký rozumný produkt jinde. Solárníci, doporučíte někdo něco z vlastní zkušenosti? Celkem se mi líbí #DeltaGreen deltagreen.cz/

Hey @NVAccess do you know anybody that got executable applications and python to run on this? I can’t tell how far they are, but it is Lennox under the hood, but is trying to be an open source version of Windows.

NV Access

Hi Robert, good question & one I don't know offhand (if anyone does, please share!) Looking on reactos.org/faq/#can-i-install… I found "Can I install ReactOS and run any software compatible with Windows on it?
Probably yes. However we highly recommend to check first if your favourite app runs in ReactOS. ReactOS is still an on-going project and not all the apps and drivers runs perfect on it."

Are any of our #FOSS / #Linux friends involved in #ReactOS able to share experiences please?

Python now ships with 15,000 lines of verified cryptographic code from HACL*, covering all default hash and HMAC algorithms. The integration was seamless and automated, aiming to eliminate bugs like the 2022 SHA3 CVE. A major milestone for verified crypto in mainstream software.

15,000 lines of verified cryptography now in Python

In November 2022, I opened issue 99108 on Python’s GitHub repository, arguing that after a recent CVE in its implementation of SHA3, Python should embrace verified code for all of its hash-related infrastructure.

Congratulations to our member Natalie for winning our LibreOffice Impress Template-a-Thon! Thank you to @dff for helping organize the Document Freedom Day events across the globe, and thank you @libreoffice for providing OSC with prize material! The swag was more than worth the international-shipping wait. 🤩

Natalie has chosen only to display the back of the sweater on social media, but we can assure you that the front is just as fire. 😎

An individual stands house left to a projector at the front of a university classroom, facing away from the camera. The individual is seen wearing a grey hoodie with the LibreOffice logo in orange on the back, and is holding up their right arm, making a heart symbol with their thumb and forefinger. On the projector is a slide of a slide show with the LibreOffice and LibreOffice Impress logos and text that reads, “Also… our Template-a-Thon Prize is in!”

Surely nothing will go wrong with this... nothing dystopian or privacy harming about this at all.

Hold on. Here's a new internet-draft that is supposed to *supersede* the pending not yet published HTTP cookie spec update, the 6265bis document.

I have not yet quite figured out the differences. The trend of "programmatic" descriptions of syntax continues in here, and it makes me sad.

This document defines the HTTP Cookie and Set-Cookie header fields. These header fields can be used by HTTP servers to store state (called cookies) at HTTP user agents, letting the servers maintain a stateful session over the mostly stateless HTT…

So, yet again my small high street cookshop in a rural English town has paid more tax than Starbucks entire UK operation.

Cynically, Starbucks is more than profitable enough to pay £40m of royalties to its US parent company, thereby incuring a loss of £35m.

Global revenue for 2024 was $36billion.

As a Green Party district councillor it makes my blood boil.
