Today, I was contacted by someone who is researching their ancestors and discovered that our family trees intersect. Her family ended up with the Czech phonetic transcription Ajšman, while our family ended up with the German transcription Eischmann. Our common ancestor was named Tomáš Aišmon and was born in 1728.

great updates! Something I've been curious about and holsing me back from your calendar is event invites. This is because I struggled to make them work with other open source calendars previously and I'm highly skeptical of digital calendars (even though I'd like to break away from Google).
For example, I tested out a CalDav server as well as Murena calendar quite extensively last year and was disappointed that when inviting others or being invited. I don't like email notifications in general, but not even those would send most of the time and when they did I had to manually download the calendar event and add it. Is this similar to how calendar invites work on Tuta calendar?
Ja es gibt die Kalender App von Tutanota, die ein Widget hat, doch dieses ist Blau, mehr nicht. Ich mag es lieber, wenn ich ein Widget meinem Design anpassen kann. Farben, Transparenz, Größe etc.
The #gnome #bug reporter still wants to push reports onto bugzilla that has been replaced by their #gitlab instance.
Is that a known issue?
Couldn't find any reference online, how that will change in future.
My #fedora rarely crashes so it's not a big issue. However, I'd like to contribute data for improving software.
I think it's the way to go.

And another thing: What even is this "Politics" that some people don't want you to talk about?
Are we talking about the stately and important machinations of state, in which laws are debated and passed, elections are held, spiced with the occasional scandal from a misbehaving representative of the people?
Are we talking about televised screaming matches between horrible people in formal wear trying to persuade the voting public that the other guy is somehow even worse than they themselves are?
Is it things that one of these awful people has decided to talk about in order to win votes?
Are we talking about the daily realities of real human beings that other people aren't comfortable hearing about?
Война с Ордой. Сергей Ауслендер
Пока весь мир осуждает "трусливый" удар Израиля по Катару (а почему "трусливый", взяли же на себя ответственность?) и спасает территориальную целостность эмирата, спонсирующего всех террористов Бл. Востока, в Польшу прилетели 10 российских беспилотников.
Кто-то может сказать, что это произошло случайно, но увы. Один - да, два - туда-сюда можно поверить, но десять - так не бывает.
И как-то не слышно хора голосов, осуждающих этот "трусливый" удар и поддерживающих территориальную целостность Польши.
Кстати, а что там с пятой статьёй НАТО?

#curl 8.16.0
curl 8.16.0 with Daniel Stenberg
Daniel presents the security vulnerabilities, the changes, bugfixes in 8.16.0 and what might possibly be coming next.YouTube
We really need a legislation to force Android vendors that are selling their phones in EU to allow "bootloader unlocking".
Like, come on. It's literally a one-bit check by an "application" before loading the Linux kernel. Yet, vendor after vendor is removing the ability to skip this check for muh "security".
It's never about security, it's about control. If you can't install your own OS, they can collect your data to sell and push ads onto you.
It's basically like buying a laptop in 2008 with Windows Vista and pre-loaded malware that made it unusable. Everyone wiped it and installed a clean copy of XP or Linux, imagine being unable to do that...
If we don't stand up to vendors, in the future they'll take this option away. I hope they realize there'll be no reason to buy Android anymore (no way to "sideload" due to Play Protect, no way to replace the OS/remove GApps) and everyone will go "fuck it, I'm just gonna get an iPhone".
For many years Android/iOS duopoly was unbreakable, but thanks to Google's recent (stupid) decisions this could (and I hope will) change. Current "smartphones" are just the prefect tools of digital dystopia.
I would be really cautious with the wording. Instead "bootloader unlocking" I would force something as "alternative system installation with posibility to apply same security measures" as much broader set of features is needed to install OS.
You want to allow unlock bootloader, flash custom OS, load custom cetificates/keys/... to bootloader, relock the bootloader, verify and boot alternative OS signed with alternative keys.
Fingerprint reader functionality under #Linux sucks.
1. Every few reboots/updates/whatever-triggers it, the fingerprint functionality GETS DISABLED all by itself. The bug is there in BOTH Ubuntu and Arch Linux ( #gnome ).
2. GDM won't let me choose between pass & fingerprint reading. This has repercussions for gnome's keyring.
3. Because the keyring is not unlocked, launching things like Chrome requires you to type a password! Again!
Overall, abysmal.
Unlocking account without also unlocking keyring is useless.
And it is quite unreliable. After several sleep modes, fingerprint reader just doesn't work. But this is probably firmware/driver problem.

I made a tool for generating a Yggdrasil key/address so you can template your configs and dynamically deploy nodes that will be able to all mesh with each other.
It's kinda clunky trying to figure out how to consistently generate and deploy the configs otherwise. You'd have to generate a config normally just to get the key, but you won't know the address it will be, then try to apply your changes to that config, etc etc
I have a local FreeBSD port for it too, it's just simple Go code

The Carney government's suspension of the EV mandate has nothing to do with “pragmatism” or “moderation” as I heard an interviewee say on the CBC this morning.
It's about the Ontario car industry realizing they don't make EVs or even Hybrids that can compete with Korea, Japan, or Europe (let alone China).
People want them. BC is at 20% new (the mandated level), Quebec is at 30%. Those are the #2 and #3 most populous provinces in Canada btw.
It's politics, and... specifically with Carney, cowardice, nothing else. BC’s Energy Minister Adrian Dix called it out
“I want to say this: Their target for this year, we achieved four years ago,” Dix said of the existing federal electric vehicle mandates. “The issue here in Canada -- and I think the federal government needs to engage in this a little bit -- is first and foremost with Ontario.”

Ontario drove Carney’s decision to suspend EV mandate: B.C. Energy Minister Dix
British Columbia’s energy minister says the federal decision to delay its electric vehicle sales mandate largely reflects circumstances in Ontario, and Ottawa should follow through on a more Canada-wide policy after its review.The Canadian Press (CTVNews)

I've got the mnt pocket reform booted, but have already managed to trash the image by trying to bypass the currently inaccessible setup wizard, so investigating other potential avenues to configure the system.
It's not all doom and gloom though, as from this experience, I can confirm that the mnt team, at least @mntmn is very helpful and want MNT products to be accessible!
