I don’t think this framing is completely accurate. nel0x, one of the people stepping up to maintain a fork, made reasonable requests to researchxxl that were ignored and denied. Basic stuff like “can you join the official syncthing forum”. Trust is incredibly important when you are taking over distribution of an existing app, let alone one that has permissions to your filesystem and can push changes to other devices through NAT/firewalls. Processes to develop trust can be tying your online identity to real life identity, and/or being a visible, contributing member of a community over time. A transparent handover process would also be important. None of those conditions for trust were met and auto installed updates were pushed.

Nextcloud already bit off more than it can chew. Competing with YouTube seems like a bad idea.

Story feels eerily familiar to absurd cultist attacks on cultural institutions in the US. Pretty cool about the award though.

Why would an organization use OMEMO if it doesn’t fit their requirements? OMEMO isn’t necessary for encrypting xmpp communications. Also, I get the concern that only the original client will have a full history of the user, but most people don’t need a complete chat history. Or put another way, wanting a complete, unencrypted chat history is relatively orthogonal to wanting perfect forward secrecy.

That is how perfect forward secrecy is supposed to work.

Have a migraine and am struggling to parse this. Iraq?

Pretty sure another study found Xylitol might have the same issue. I’m personally avoiding sugar alcohols at this point. That said, it severely limits sweetener options for people that have blood sugar issues.

I’m not saying that you need to understand every aspect of how something works to use it, but OMEMO provides forward secrecy - it is in the first paragraph of the wikipedia article. Delta Chat explicitly does not. Finding the right tool for your needs/expectations is important. We don’t blame a hammer for failing to cut wood.

Pretty sure that has been a feature for at least 2 years. It seems like a reasonable compromise.

I thought Bitwarden was focused on migrating to native mobile apps. Haven’t followed closely since the beta started rolling out, but perhaps some of the quality of life issues will be taken care of with that process over?

Maybe this should not be a binary question, but: will this make Israeli public more nationalistic OR find a unifying reason to permanently remove Netanyahu from power? Guessing the former, but one can hope.

Pretty sure the ICC warrant for Putin was already ignored by various countries.

Guessing no meaningful difference, but I’m curious how the IP would compare to a regular pressure cooker on an induction pad.

Pressure cookers seem pretty efficient and fairly versatile.

Even just watching other open source projects go through it is demoralizing to me, and I’m not a contributor.

Also attributed to burnout.

Apple has turned out to “prevent the chrome monopoly” far more effectively then firefox has.

Turns out that owning the platform (Android, iOS) counts for a lot. I like having an independent option.

Technically true, but FOSS isn’t “free” in the sense that someone is contributing labor to build and maintain the software. Free to use, but not free to make. I personally wouldn’t expect or shame a person for using FOSS without contributing. But if you make a profitable business off a FOSS project, it seems reasonable to expect some form of contribution back to the project - not because it is technically required, but because who better to sponsor a project than someone profiting from it?

If you can host thelounge on your LAN and access it over VPN on the go, it makes for a very nice IRC experience.

Otherwise, ssh (termux or whatever) to your irc host running irssi or weechat

I haven’t used either command, but based on what I see in the manual, rcd tells rclone to start listening for remote commands whereas rc is used to issue remote commands.

Try it out by going to a folder with some files and typing: rclone rcd .

That should open a tab in your web browser with a list of your files.

There are situations where being able to send commands to rclone remotely would be helpful, but I’m not sure that you need to do that in this case.
