Hello everyone!

I write my bachelor's thesis about Mastodon as an alternative social network and how its users perceive the platform.

I would be greateful if you would particpate in my survey:
https://umfragen.uni-paderborn.de/index.php/661426?lang=en

It only takes 10-15 minutes and would help me a lot.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

In case you want to support me, you can repost the access link, which would also help me.

Thank you!

…and here are my #FreeSoftware bits for October 24:

Flatpaks are great for GUIs, but nowadays, Linux feels behind on CLI app distribution. If you’re also not thrilled with the current options, check out pixi global! I just published a post on it: https://prefix.dev/blog/pixi_global

Gesundes Selbstvertrauen! Wer kennt's auch?

Any hints how to get a response from #Fairphone support? It's been almost a week since I contacted them regarding a warranty case (a broken hinge on an only 3mo old Fairbuds XL 🎧) and except for the auto responder it's total radio silence. (I''m pretty dependent on the noise canceling feature).

Die Schweizer Bundesverwaltung killt ihre eigene Präsenz hier auf Mastodon @gov

Nach knapp einem Jahr.
@nohillside hat eine Bilanz gezogen und nachgefragt. Fazit: Das Vorhaben bei dieser Einstellung ("man will einfach 1:1 Tweets kommunizieren") schon von Anfang an zum Scheitern verurteilt.

@Taler Can a Taler wallet be used securely in the form of a card?

That is, a smart card that people insert at point-of-sale terminals?

The browser extension takes care not just of the secret store, but also of all user interaction. Would there be a need to trust the terminal not to be compromised?

What's the plan for everyday shopping anyway?

Normal authors: release book to the public early in the week, with much fanfare.

Me, late Friday afternoon, from a dark alley: "psst! Hey, you! Yeah, you! #sysadmin! Buddy! You ever wanted to Run Your Own Mail Server?" #ryoms

#Linux OpenPrinting #CUPS vulnerabilities

Use the following command to determine if cups-browsed is running:

$ sudo systemctl status cups-browsed

If the result includes "Active: inactive (dead)" then the exploit chain is halted and the system is not vulnerable

If the result is "running" or "enabled" then the system may be vulnerable.

Mitigation is simple, especially in any environment where printing is not needed.

$ sudo systemctl stop cups-browsed

$ sudo systemctl disable cups-browsed

I just used for the first time #GNUtaler to pay my Mate at #Datenspuren. GNUtaler is a #FreeSoftware secure electronic payment system funded under the #EU's Next Generation Internet programme #NGI which the EU just decided to cut by €27 mio.

The payment worked awesome - and Free Software needs sustainable, long-term financial support! This is what we at the @fsfe demand from the EU, to ensure Europe's technological independence.

Having been active in the BonsaiBIM.org (formally BlenderBIM) & OSArch.org communities for many years, I can tell you that the blood, sweat, and tears on this release was palpable.

I know the core developers sacrificed a lot of their time to root out a lot of elusive and temperamental bugs.

It just feels like an ideal time to show our appreciation.

In that light, if this software is useful to you in your daily production, please consider funding further development.

See release notes: https://community.osarch.org/discussion/comment/21943/#Comment_21943

Chat client Chatty will drop XMPP support.

Unless someone starts maintaining that part. This could be YOU!

https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Chatty/-/issues/842

This is apparently the only client that supports both XMPP and Matrix and it would be sad to see it losing support.

A while ago I whipped up a prototype in nvim-dap to support fallback language interpreters that are used in the REPL if there is no active debug session.

With a bundled implementation for Lua. Demo:

I'm still not sure if that's still in scope and if I should finish and merge it.
If you'd like to see this merged, maybe leave some feedback or upvote the PR https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap/pull/1281
