Proton, the company behind a suite of privacy-focused services, has made the Proton VPN Chrome and Firefox extensions available to those with a Proton Free plan.

The change is big news. We’re excited to announce that Proton VPN’s browser extensions will now be available to everyone with a Proton Free plan. Now that they’re available for free, they make it easier for people worldwide to protect their privacy and

Security Notions for Fully Encrypted Protocols https://petsymposium.org/foci/2023/foci-2023-0004.pdf This paper gives the first definitions for FEPs, examples of how existing protocols fail to satisfy them, and a novel protocol that does satisfy them.

Looks like I may have lost 300 followers since #Mastodon decided not to migrate them to #Fosstodon 😢

If you're interested in #OpenSource, #FOSS, #marketing, #Nextcloud and related topics, do give me a follow. Especially if you remember following me before.

Thank you 😀

Boosts appreciated 🙏🏻

Take care of yourself. You only have one you.

Seems I don't quite understand how the Apple II GCR decoding works. I capture a sector of data, after demapping and un-xoring, the value at 0x55 makes no sense (highlighted in second image). It’s 0x20 which has a bit set in what I thought were unused bits. Checksum matches. After denibblizing the data looks ok, it's Track 17/Sector 0 of a DOS 3.3 catalog.

What am I doing wrong?

Mac users of Mastodon, I'm sure at least one of you has had this problem before and knows how to solve it. I have an ImageWriter II and an iBook G3 Snow (with Mac OS 9). How do I connect the printer to the Mac?

Hey Fediverse, hoping someone can help with this. I’m trying to re-home a #Macintosh Performa 550. It’s in pretty good shape, turns on, usable, mouse and keyboard included. Please boost if you think you might know someone interested. Tagging the #Apple #vintagecomputing here as well. I’m in the greater #Boston area but willing to ship if you can cover the cost.
