Very interesting advice from a #Debian developer about #GitHub and #GitLab https://veronneau.org/lets-migrate-away-from-github.html
If you don't want to use Gitlab.com, here are two alternative instances for #FreeSoftware projects:
Theย Debian Gitlab instanceย is available for every FOSS project and not only for Debian-related ones. As long as the project respects the Debian Free Software Guidelines, you can use the instance
Riseup maintains a Gitlab instance for radical projects namedย 0xacab.
The CopperheadOS Twitter account was moved to danielmicay (personal title, due to trademark stuff).
He is strncat on Reddit, the_stinger on other channels. All the best to him!
This is really bad: seems like Daniel Micay got screwed by his businesspartner. FYI: Micay is the great mind that developed CopperheadOS.
I am contemplating ditching Plex in favor of Emby, mainly for the following reasons:
- Emby is open source and a mature alternative to Plex AFAIK,
- Plex has more and more downsides to it, when it comes to privacy,
- On specific areas, Emby seems more mature rhan Plex does, whereas Plex is more mature than Emby in other areas.
Any of my dear followers have any experience with this switch?

I installed a bunch of @fdroidorg apps on my phone last night.
I'm impressed!
Simple Calendar, Simple Gallery, Simple File Manager ... very nice! Also Tasks and Omni Notes and Orgzly. Phone Saver, PhotoBackup, Vinyl Music Player... My phone suddenly feels like a useful computer!
These apps may be simpler than mainstream alternatives, but no ads and no spying is a HUGE feature.
The Google Play Store is so full of crapware, I dread using it. F-Droid is very refreshingly better in that regard.

Hi! First of all, Mailpile seems like a pretty awesome project, putting back privacy back in the hands of less tech savvy users.
I do have some questions, hope you can answer them:
- Does Mailpile use standarized protocols, ciphers and implementation for crypto?
- Do you have concrete plans for an audit?
- Perhaps more difficult to answer, if a vulnerability is found, how do you intent to act on it?
This might be interesting for some, secure email storage and easy GPG: https://www.mailpile.is
I didn't try it yet, AFAIK it isn't vetted - still in release candidate phase.
Silicon Valley investor launches challenge to create a replacement for Facebook, which respect the rights and privacy of its users:
Does anyone know with what frequency the OpenBSD-current packages are updated?
Daily reminder that you should not use Discord unless you like sending 100% identifiable analytics events for every single action you perfom in their app.
Yet another reason to switch to OpenBSD folks ๐
There is literally no reason why systemd should exist. Ironically, there are so fucking many reasons why it shouldn't be adopted in the first place. Like the devvers blatantly stating "we wont fix bugs, grab a shovel and fix this shitware yourself":
Imagine an ISP like Comcast - but way worse - having a monopoly position, being the only ISP for an ENTIRE COUNTRY. Now, keep that in mind, broaden your image to not only include connectivity, but also the TLD for said country and the sole owner of the entire infrastructure - including data centers.
This is an accurate description of how it is handled in Aruba. The Comcast-but-worse is Setar.
And this is how they 'handle' their responsibility: https://batibleki.wheninaruba.com/who-will-answer-our-questions-at-setar-nv/
Gmail's upcoming self-destructing emails will require the recipients to click on a link and log in with their #Google accounts to see the content, if they are accessing via IMAP/SMTP.
Don't be fooled: Google's purpose is not to give us more confidentiality. They want all of their users to access their mailboxes via the Gmail app or their web interface, so they are creating a burden to the recipients and calling it โsecurityโ to convince people to adopt it.
Deployed seamless WiFi at a customers' site, using UniFi devices. Seamless handoff works flawlessly. Except for coverage, stability and support, the only requirement was that APs had to be UniFi.
Ofcourse, the controller runs on an OpenBSD machine ๐
Am I the only one who refuses to use containers, due to being far less secure than full fledged virtualization?
@h3artbl33d the problem is httpd, probably OCSP bug in #OpenBSD 6.3
`ocsptool -e --no-nonce --load-signer /etc/ssl/acme/letsencryptauthorityx3.pem --load-response /etc/ssl/acme/example.com.ocsp.resp.der`
"Verifying OCSP Response: Success."
`echo | openssl s_client -connect example.com:443 -tlsextdebug -status | grep OCSP`
"OCSP response: no response sent"
