Haven't tried halloy, but it sounds cool, I wish rust build with shared libs in mind, instead of everything link statically, but it sounds interesting, I'll see how it is compared to srain which is my current choice...
mozilla private derivatives such as librewolf on the desktop and mull on android I just fine. So FF keeps being relevant as not being a derivative from chromium/chrome, it can remain apart from google disabling adds removing extensions.
So yes, FF is food to thrive, and so its derivatives will...
I has improved quite a bit. The phone app still requires navigating over its settings to get less battery consumption, and having ntfy or any other unifiedPush notification provider available in the phone. But with the default configs, you get Jami working at least. I tried it before, and I found before synchronization between devices was a mess. Currently it just works. I still find it hard on immediate/urgent calls or messages, which might not happen when you expect, but other than that it's working.
On the desktop, the default configs are pretty sane.
And the best part, it's being actively developed. And the UI is undergoing through lots of improvements. So if usability is your concern, it's getting better, and each release improves over the prior one...
The audit is true, but at least Jami didn't make up its own crypto lib, it uses standard already in use crypto stuff. To there's a huge difference there.
BTW, they are actually re-writing stuff... But yes, they need more recent audits...
Have you read it's github front page?
This is an experimental cryptographic network library. It has not been formally audited by an independent third party that specializes in cryptography or cryptanalysis. Use this library at your own risk.
BTW, if you look at its issues (including closed ones, which most probably aren't really closed) you'll find pretty interesting discussions about its crypto not being right. That said, I'm not sure what irungentoo brings to the picture...
At any rate, if you're looking for distributed messaging, I'd look into Jami. It also uses DHT and something similar to torrents mechanism. Jami is my only option so far for distributed messaging. There's also Briar, but I don't like it for regular messaging, particularly on phones (too much battery usage), neither its underlying technology, but if it's to your liking, then that's another option for distributing messaging.
What I post from lemmy.ml wouldn't be seen there if that were the case, but it's seen there, so that doesn't seem the case...
BTW. I've already joined... That said, I see the same posts missing. Of course that doesn't apply to one I made myself from lemmy.ml. There's also a bot one from 9 days ago, but the rest are at least 1 month old...
pending for subscription, we'll see, and while pending, still not syncing properly...
XMPP [https://xmpp.org/about/] (aka Jabber) is the community-owned standard for real-time federated messaging.

Hello, !xmpp@lemmy.ml was locked by my mods, and continued on !xmpp@slrpnk.net which is entirely fine given federation, so I guessed I could follow it on the lemmy sort of synced space/community, !xmpp@slrpnk.net, where I can post to the slrpnk community without having an account there. But for some reason recent posts on slrpnk real xmpp community are not showing on !xmpp@slrpnk.net, like if they're not syncing anymore.
Any way to remediate it?
What is implied with alacritty not being customizable, what is then .config/alacritty/alacritty.toml meant for? That said, I'd argue kitty has hard coded what fonts can be used with it, though some might think this is good, but in my mind it's a limitation.
At any rate, this is a matter of taste. I use alacritty with screen. Some might argue kitty is better because of tabs supports, and if that's a thing for them, then that's fine...
At any rate, again, terminal emulators are a matter of taste...
You might want to set both configs off. Not just one, although one seems off by default, but better make sure both get off in librewolf.cfg...
IT might be, but librelinux for example really removes all binary blobs, although there's some tooling around doing that, so new cases might be missed without human inspection, but they are careful about binary blobs... So from the whole spectrum of open source stuff, if you care about binary blobs, chances are better on the libre/free SW side.
Well this one is not false, :(
browser.search.serpEventTelemetry.enabled
Though this one is:
browser.search.serpEventTelemetryCategorization.enabled
So it seems not quite fully disabled... But telemetry is supposed to be off on librewolf...
Innovation and privacy go hand in hand here at Mozilla. To continue developing features and products that resonate with our users, we’re adopting a new a
I believe the settings to disable this on Librewolf are set by default...
Probably Guix, and GNU endorsed distributions. Binary blobs are not allowed on free/libre distributions, or not on their official repos. That said, most gnu + linux distributions don't care about those. Most will take care, if they get to realize it, about distribution licenses, so if something has some sort of legal issue to be distributed, that will get purged from its repos most probably...
BTW, moved to iosevka myself, now my current preferred font for both, the console, and fixed fonts...
Many thanks for the suggestion @toastal@lemmy.ml
I'm not systemd user, and I generally see this absorbing as much as possible as a terrible practice. I don't usually comment on systemd stuff, since I'm happy just not being forced to use it.
However, even though I don't use it, the decision of people managing systemd really affects non systemd users. See by succeeding in getting all major distros into become systemd distros (somehow now governed by RH, if anyone cares), everything systemd absorbs tend to leave alternatives sooner or later deprecated, or abandoned.
Even autofs is no longer part of some official repos, given systemd has its own auto mount/unmount functionality... And there are several other examples...
At any rate, hopefully the more bloated systemd, doesn't make it the more vulnerable. And also hopefully, doesn't make life worse and worse to non systemd distros and users...
BTW, before sudo there was su, so a life without sudo is possible, :)
I'm all for Jami, and XMPP.
Jami is the GNU alternative, if you're wondering

Any particular reason for that?
Also, Converstions requests to set unrestricted use of battery, to use battery under background without restrictions. So it seems unified push notifications would help, though this github issue sort of indicates unified push notifications wouldn't help, so it just tells me there's no intention to include support for it on Conversations, but not that it wouldn't help save battery.

https://disroot.org provides several decentralized federated services, as email and xmpp, besides other cloud services as well... But not sure if asking here is right or not, but don't know anywhere to ask either...
Is it having a license issue, does anyone know about it? Any status updates?
``` Websites prove their identity via certificates. LibreWolf does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for disroot.org. The certificate is only valid for p1lg502277.dc01.its.hpecorp.net.
Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN ```
But also:
``` disroot.org has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that LibreWolf can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.
The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.
```
I also tested with ungoogled chromium and pretty similar thing...
Anyonea aware, and also about disroot saying on this?
Edit (sort of understood already, no issue with disroot at all): The issue only shows up under the office VPN. It seems like disroot is not recognizing the office's cert...
Edit: Solved. Yes it's the office replacing the original cert with its own, as someone suggested. Thanks to all.
Shuttle is a library for testing concurrent Rust code, heavily inspired by Loom.
Anyone aware of a testing framework hopefully integrating well, and abstracting the shuttle testing functionality?
BTW I found rtest, but it doesn't in particular abstracts shuttle at all, it's a fixtures generic framework.
Planning to use shuttle to do MT testing targeting C binded code, and looking for a way to abstract as much as possible the shuttle scheduler trait and such...
Thanks !
Hello !
As Mint is based on Ubuntu, I’m wondering if it will follow the missteps (to me at least) Ubuntu is doing to demote *.deb packages in favor of snaps?
Well that based on Ubuntu 23.10’s New Software App Will Demote DEBs (Apparently) post, and its lemmy.ml discussion.
From all ubuntu based distros, Mint seems not to follow those missteps, but I'm wondering if Rhino will do the same. Actually I don't like Rhino created a wrapper package manager which actually gets snap support as well as apt on the same bucket. But who knows, it might be they won't follow ubuntu on this.
Does anyone know?
My interest on Rhino comes from it being rolling release. But I don't want snap to become the source of common/important packages.
Thanks !
I just noticed there's an app installed on a recently acquired pixel 4a 5g, "android system intelligence", which I never found installed on other phones like moto or xiaomi ones.
It also had by default a bunch of permissions granted, which I removes, and only left it with notifications.
Is this a system app I should leave working with more permissions? Should I disable it instead (if possible, I didn't try)?
Is it required for an android system proper functionality? Is it bad to remove all permissions except by the notifications one? Does this damage functionality?
I'm just suspecting about an "android intelligence" thing.
What have others done about it?
Hi !
I recently got a pixel 4a 5g (bramble), and when installing, I noticed there's a difference with respect other phones I've installed lineageos on, like motorola, xiomi redmi 4x (discontinued) and others.
On this pixel, and probably others, one needs to flash a boot.img, a dtbo.img and a vendor_boot.img, before sideloading lineageos. The vendor_boot.img is supposed to be the equivalent to the recovery.img.
On other phones there's only a recovery.img to flash, prior to sideloading lineageos.
Now, on this pixel majore version upgrades I see documented only the sideload of lineageos. For other phones I usually upgrade both, the recovery.img and then sideload the new major version of lineage. So not sure if I should then should flash all images, boot, dtbo and vendor_boot, when upgrading on major versions. I guess I could, but I'm wondering.
Moreover, even on same major OTA upgrades, I'm wondering what gets upgraded, if I have selected OTA upgrades to also upgrade recovery image, would it just upgrade the vendor_boot one, or would it flash all other images?
It's just that it involves flashing several other images, not matching the ones for other phones, :)
Thanks !
NVIDIA today announced that Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Lenovo will be the first to integrate NVIDIA Spectrum-X™ Ethernet networking technologies for AI into their server lineups to help enterprise customers speed up generative AI workloads.
I started some time ago using a teddit frontend with local subscriptions, and at some point it was hard for the one I picked to keep up, then I moved to libreddit, at that time libredd.it, then it stopped working and moved to libreddit.spike.codes, but it seems it stopped working as well, and finally I moved to libreddit .mha.fi, but some time back there was too much rate limiting, making it unusable, and since yesterday it seems totally down, giving the error "502 Bad Gateway". I also have the libRedirect extension on Librewolf configure to choose among several libreddit instances (so when searching for something any is picked), and most of them seem out of service, or being rate limited as well.
So, are frontends for reddit finally coming to an end?
Edit: Indeed, it seems at least non self-hosted front-end instances are way rate limited or down
Contrary to what we all learned in elementary school science class, it turns out that heat may not be necessary to make water evaporate. Scientists at MIT have made the surprising discovery that light alone can evaporate water, and is even more efficient at it than heat. The finding could improve…

A new solar desalination system takes in saltwater and heats it with natural sunlight. The system flushes out accumulated salt, so replacement parts aren’t needed often, meaning the system could potentially produce drinking water that is cheaper than tap water.

Any thought on DOH, which is the base for this ECH? I remember in the end cloudfare and some others, providing the service to services, were the ones gathering the information instead of the ISPs... Librewolf still has DOH disabled by default, and although it can be easily change, perhaps that default is overall the sounder way.
Do Librewolf guys have different thoughts on DOH now, specially with the possibilities of ECH?
