The USPTO has issued proposed rules that will make it harder for everyone in open source to challenge bad patents. Let them know you want a fair and open system for all, where anyone can seek a review of an invalid patent.

Some interesting research from my alma mater: you can somewhat reliably transmit covert voice-band frequencies toward popular home assistant devices that are near passband cutoff freqs.

:openstreetmap: I just installed StreetComplete and I’ve already made more than 150 contributions to map my neighborhood!

It’s such a good example of an open-source and well-designed mobile app that makes it easy for everyone to contribute to the digital commons.

YMMV, but I've always had unlimited data tethering by using ( is my current carrier, if that matters). I'm supposed to have a 5GB monthly tethering cap, but the Google Fi app reports 0B at the start of every day and does not ever appear restricted even if I exceed 5GB in one day.

@LineageOS Is there currently any traction with OEMs adopting as the default image within their product lines? If not, what are the biggest hurdles?

MNT RCM4 hopefully done, ordering samples now! this adapter lets you use CM4-style modules as processors in the MNT Reform laptop. my current favorite is the BPi CM4 with Amlogic A311D.

After @jacqueline told me it was possible, I tried 3d fdm printing a keycap for my mnt reform trackball. Went surprisingly well!

Getting it to fit was a bit fiddly and not the sort of process I enjoy, but it sure beats not having just the exposed switch...

Running a #homeserver with a now #postmarketos, former #android phone. It's kinda cool to "upcycle" what would otherwise be an outdated, useless device.

FYI: "[...] the new text app will have an element of as well. “Soon, our app will be compatible with certain other apps like [...] Users on these other apps will be able to search for, follow and interact with your profile and content if you’re public, or if you’re private and approve them as followers.” (Presumably that compatibility will come through , which has been exploring alongside other tech companies.)"

A vulnerability (CVE-2023-32784) in the open-source password manager KeePass can be exploited to retrieve the master password from the software’s memory.

The bad news is that the vulnerability is still unfixed and that a PoC exploitation tool – aptly named KeePass 2.X Master Password Dumper – is publicly available, but the good news is that the password can't be extracted remotely just by exploiting this flaw.

I came across a neat browser extension today. It looks for "rel=me" links pointing to mastodon profiles, and puts it in a little list for you to review.

In other words, you visit a website, and if tells you if there are any mastodon accounts associated to the website.
