Oh, nice, Codeberg Pages supports proper HTTP redirects these days! https://docs.codeberg.org/codeberg-pages/redirects/ Including catch-alls like /my-spa/* to /my-spa/index.html š Thanks @Codeberg! Interesting. According to Brent Spiner (the actor who plays the android Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation) 1) it was Patrick Stewart's UK pronunciation of his character's name (day-tah instead of the US's dah-tah) that made this pronunciation canon, and 2) the character of Data and the popularity of Star Trek has led to "day-tah" now being the common pronunciation in the US, too. https://youtu.be/xeqTMTOxid8 (Ļ min) #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #data #pronunciation #English #EnglishLanguage

@scy But will it (unlike Google) never give you up, let you down or run around and desert you? Eek. Apparently liblzma (part of the xz package) has a backdoor in versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1, causing SSH to be compromised. https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/03/29/4 This might even have been done on purpose by the upstream devs. Developing story, please take with a grain of salt. The 5.6 versions are somewhat recent, depending on how bleeding edge your distro is you might not be affected. Today I finally sat down to learn how #FIDO #U2F keys support an "unlimited" number of websites on a single token, without compromising privacy, and without running out of memory on the token. Reusing the same public/private keypair would allow websites to track tokens. So, the token generates a new keypair on each registration. But where is it stored? With the website! The token encrypts the private key with a token-specific secret and receives it back from the website on each login request. Check out https://fidoalliance.org/specs/u2f-specs-master/fido-u2f-overview.html for details on how this whole process works. U2F is built in a rather flexible way, so there's also the possibility for the token to have onboard storage and keep its private keys to itself, however it doesn't have "unlimited" storage anymore in that case. A few days ago, my groovebox, the #SynthstromDeluge, running the new and awesome community-built firmware, crashed, which was very cool. Not that it crashed, but what happened next: It displayed a colorful pattern on its pads. That's a stack trace. It's listing the last steps the code made before crashing. The devs have asked to be sent photos of these, to help them find bugs. I've pasted it on Discord, and there's a _bot_ that recognizes these images and decodes them into addresses!

@scy I was looking at that and thinking... "That's a really interesting beat" but only just saw that you said it's a stack trace. Which really is amazing way to handle it. Crashing isn't fun, but having a crash that *might* be easier to handle debugging of is really awesome.

@scy So cool! Iāve been wondering for a while now whether you could do a similar thing for font subsetting. I really need to take another look at that idea. Hey there, #CCCamp23 people! I have about 20 or so #MiniDiscā s and would love to archive them (lossless) as FLACs. However, I only have a MiniDisc player with analog output, and would like to avoid a DACāADC round trip. Iām sure one of you has a player with either a digital output, or some kind of device that can rip the discs faster than in real time? Would you mind bringing it to the Camp, and could I borrow it for a while? (Iām also open to paying for that, if you want.) Iām gonna leave this here as a reaction video for you all to add to your collection. Source: https://youtu.be/BCnYOpcd_hs By the way, since @vkc recently talked about using #Kdenlive to edit her videos, and not some proprietary tool: As someone whoās been using DaVinci Resolve in the past, Iām increasingly using Kdenlive, too, especially for short clips. Because as āprofessionalā as Resolve might be, itās also incredibly picky about the input formats it supports. Kdenlive will basically take just about anything, from whereever you mightāve downloaded it from, no matter the codecs or containers. well since we all agree that a coworker is someone who orks cows, itās obvious that a manager ages men, right

@scy can confirm I have aged every time I've been in the presence of a manager

@scy "The Latin word hippopotamus is derived from the ancient Greek į¼±ĻĻĪæĻĻĻĪ±Ī¼ĪæĻ, hippopĆ³tamos, from į¼µĻĻĪæĻ, hĆppos, 'horse', and ĻĪæĻĪ±Ī¼ĻĻ, potamĆ³s, 'river', meaning "horse of the river"", says wikipedia
"Nile horse" is just being specific about which river, I suppose. |
@scy I saw this coming over a year ago, and started switching to KeePassDX. I think I smelled the capitalist rot starting to take hold.
@scy if you can prove that the two halves of the code are in fact one program, the gpl would apply
is it possible for someone else to build an open source front end?
@scy I'm happy that I use KeePassXC with Nextcloud sync
