It’s just me this month and I’m going to take you through converting a traditional centralised Kitten WebSocket chat¹ to an end-to-end encrypted peer-to-peer one² for the Small Web³.

It's #Linux desktop week, as we have a LOT of stuff to cover, for @system76 and their Cosmic desktop for @pop_os_official, but also for #LinuxMint and #XFCE, with Wayland support, or @BuddiesOfBudgie, with version 10.7, a pretty huge update. Oh, and also, @plasmamobile updated a ton of apps, and @elementary OS 7 was released.

So, let's unpack all of this in this week's #Linux and #opensource news video:

Has anyone debugged a weird USB-C to DisplayPort glitch where grub shows up fine, but Linux and Windows will only display an image for one second coming out of sleep or when the screen is hot-plugged?

Walking through Universal Studios seeing a lot of Harry Potter scarves. I guess I am getting some confidence as a weaver (and even a machine knitter) because after inspecting one up close in a shop my first thought was "oh, I could make something better than that easily..." #weaving #knitting #machineknitting

If you are using mobile linux with T-mobile/a T-mobile MVNO, you may have noticed that sending MMSes stopped working recently.

I figured out the issue and released a new version of mmsd-tng to fix it:

https://gitlab.com/kop316/mmsd/-/tags/2.1.0

https://gitlab.com/kop316/mmsd/-/tags/1.13.0 .

1.x uses libsoup2 and 2.x uses libsoup3, there shouldn't be any differences between the versions besides that.

My book on facial recognition technology comes out on September 19! Over the last two years, I tracked down the tech's early pioneers, found the people fighting against its worst impulses, and dove into the history of Clearview AI, the start-up that first drew me into the topic with a radical person-finding app that giants in the field, including Google and Facebook, had deemed taboo. It feels real now because there's a release date and a preorder button: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/691288/your-face-belongs-to-us-by-kashmir-hill/

I have about 30 minutes before I need to do the next step in the brewing process, and everything I can clean is clean, so now's a good time if anyone had any questions or wanted more specific details about brewing in general or my brewing specifically.

Now for the first (and for this recipe only) hop addition with 60 minutes left in the boil. These are whole leaf Cascade hops that we harvested from our hop plant in our garden this summer.

Adding hops at this stage of the boil extracts compounds that make the beer taste more bitter. These compounds are also anti-microbial and help protect the beer from infection post-boil, especially in the sensitive stage before the yeast make any alcohol.

@datn I’m trying out the service provided by Your Digital Rights:

https://yourdigitalrights.org/d/twitter.com

It creates an email similar to the one in the screenshot for your and they also apparently tell you when to follow up, etc.
