Anybody know any cool cases that fit the Kobo H2O Aura 2 ? Wading through all the mislabeled junk on Amazon is a lot of work to buy from a place I don't want to buy from.

Mild Prophet Song spoiler 

Already sick of big company customer service blaming "the AI" for their screwups that have nothing to do with AI (just involved...a computer).

I really hate when I have to type "killall orca".

Currently ordering some notebooks that are hardback but the name of their size is paperback. Not happy about it.

Will also give a lightning talk Sunday August 3rd at 17:30 UTC:

"An Impatient Application of Reproducible Builds"

There should be a live stream, I think at:

#FOSSY2025 #FOSSY25

#ReproducibleBuilds talk at #FOSSY2025 went pretty well today, presented by myself and my colleague Chris Lamb...

For bonus fun, I used the #MNTReform to present!

Slides available:

people.debian.org/~vagrant/fos

... as well as a .buildinfo file if you want to try and bit-for-bit reproduce the slides, although I did it using an arm64 machine:

people.debian.org/~vagrant/fos

Video should be available in a month or so, hopefully?

hacker: i am spying on you through your webcam

linux user: omg you got it working?

I'm all excited to watch the livestream of #FOSSY2025 today! The link for all of the streams is:

Just over a half hour to today's #FOSSY keynote with @conservancy staff about the VIzio law suit!

Perhaps the problem of journalists incorrectly calling Meta's AI "open source" is about to solve itself: engadget.com/ai/is-mark-zucker (but not before making the mistake a few more times)

Great shout out from Gunner (Aspiration) in the keynote about importance of @fdroidorg for mobile app freedom!

I'm watching the opening remarks for #FOSSY! You can watch the livestream here:

Thanks to #OpenSignal for hosting the stream! (And for doing all the a/v for the conference!)

I’m speaking about what we've learned while spinning up a network of #AcademicOSPOs for the #ScienceOfCommunity track at #FOSSY on Friday! I can’t wait to meet more people working in this space and hear what they're up to. 😊

My colleague and I will be presenting

Never Mind the Checkboxes, Here's Reproducible Builds

at #FOSSY2025 on Saturday

You probably do not need to bring earplugs, but no guarantees.

If anyone coming to wants a free PinePhone Pro that won't boot (probably just needs reflashing but *might* have deeper issues) in a chipped but functional case, let me know. I realize, a very hard offer to refuse.

Is it controversial to suggest that when emailing your resume to a job opening, you should put your name in the filename? Is the lack of doing this because people aren't in the habit of applying by email anymore? It is something that makes me think, this person is not thinking very many steps ahead (someone else on the receiving side has to rename all the files named just Resume.pdf) and that's a bad sign.
