A whole month into the new year! So what happened with #Prosody trunk in January?

Some of the modules involved in https://blog.prosody.im/great-invitations/ have been merged, as well as mod_bookmarks (XEP-0402 + XEP-0411).

Direct TLS now also supported for outgoing server-to-server connections.

The unencrypted HTTP port has been restricted to localhost by default.

Also improvements to the migrator, the config check tools and documentation.

Okay, so: German court decided on Jan. 20th 2022 that sites will need to host Google fonts locally.

Visitors are otherwise entitled to receive 100€ in recompensation for Google fonts transferring IP numbers to Google servers.
Google uses fonts to track users, especially if they are logged into only one other server, where stored personal data might identify them.

Work on Gajim 1.4 is making big steps forward! 🚀 After nine months of developing Gajim’s new main window, the code was finally ready to be merged into the master branch. This enables automatic builds of nightlies for Linux and Windows.

#TIL a little trick to keep Windows machines away from your wifi network: just use a non-ASCII character (áÿûò, etc) in the WPA key!

Turns out that even though the standard states keys must contain only ASCII characters, Linux, Android and even Apple devices will happily accept keys with such characters. Windows, correctly following the standard, doesn't.

So, you can finally show your Windows-toting friends that *their* machines don't work instead of your beautiful Linux ones on your network😂

Great news everyone!

It's time for an #ONLYOFFICE Docs 7.0 giveaway.

Three people will get a free #ONLYOFFICE Docs Home Server with the new version. Just boost this message to participate.

We will announce randomly chosen winners on Friday, January 21.

Version 7.0 in our blog: https://www.onlyoffice.com/blog/2022/01/onlyoffice-docs-7-0/

TIL about https://lichess.org/ , one of the world's most popular chess servers, run entirely on free software by a nonprofit, ad-free, supported by donations with a budget of ~$420K/year according to https://lichess.org/costs

They've been around since 2010.

As awesome as this is to see, imagine how many free/open nonprofit alternatives to Big Tech platforms would exist if, down to the municipal level, we decided to support them with funding & infrastructure.

If you self-host a Snikket server, we released a security update today that you should be aware of... for more details check our blog post: https://snikket.org/blog/snikket-jan-2021-security-release/

If we want everyday people to seize the means of communication, we should ensure that those means are easy to hold.

For me a fixed IP address and symmetric upload/download speeds for domestic internet connections are the forgotten part of #NetNeutrality , killed by brutal „IP“ lobbyism since the 1990s. 2/2

One of the main reasons we don’t have a truly decentralised internet is actually really simple: it’s the fact that providers globally don’t give us symmetric upload/download speeds and fixed IP addresses at home. Kills decentralisation at the root. 1/2

You want people to run their own servers? Design and build servers for individuals, not communities and let communities arise from the interconnections between those servers.

Why?

Because that’s the only way we can compete on ease of use with centralised systems. Not by mimicking their complexity but by side-stepping it. There is orders of magnitude difference in complexity between a system designed to serve just one and one designed to serve one, two, or a hundred thousand.

Had to verify. And yes. Kernighan and Ritchie really did this. TIL :)
