The cold weekend is over, so I have to go back to work. Shame. Spending the weekend lying in bed in pyjamas, watching TV, and drinking hot chocolate was nice. ☺️

Take it from someone who has been in security for more than half his career:
1. Signal is not compromised.
2. Signal has flaws, but they do not affect its technical security.
3. Signal is THE app to use for critical situations.
4. Everyone should have a backup chat app, and we should be working on getting those apps to the same level of security (or better) as Signal.
But for now, USE SIGNAL FOR MISSION CRITICAL CONVERSATIONS. Don't be manipulated into leaving it for bullshit reasons!
@secbox "proper security" depends on your thread model of course
might be something that you host yourself (XMPP or Matrix, heck… even "Synology Chat") might have "less secure" (on paper) clients, but since you're not relying on other peoples servers, you might be way less traceable on reality.
That alternate system might already be in place.

@Floppy am I imagining it, or are the circle icons different sizes?
@christianp oh god please no
@Bastacosi @iviDPoV @thegib ma posso dire che tutte ste offerte mi risultano inverosimili. Nel caso fosse vero, gli faccio pure io 3 figli (no, non gli farei comunque). Però potrei trovare un rudere in quella città e farmelo sistemare dal comune.
The entire agenda and plan is written out in GitHub Issues, Architecture Decision Records and the forum. There is no hidden corporate agenda and no closed JIRA that cannot be looked into — everything is transparent. However, transparency alone does not mean that people will automatically trust the project and the community behind it.
Over the past year, we have earned that trust by committing to the work and demonstrating our dedication to the project. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the committers, the community and our users for placing their trust in us and making this project possible ❤️

Me explaining to my colleague what [insert any open source project, but today it was #Proxmox] is and how it works.
Colleague: "and people just.. built *this*? On their own? For free?? I don't even know how a toaster works."
Glad I'm not the only one.

@technomancy i think like 1.15kg or less?
tell me what laptop you would get? (fiddly details inside)
@brennen ah yeah that's a lil over then, it's 1.3 I think
I have a hard time recommending a machine with a non-replaceable battery anyway, it's a big liability
@linear I am delighted to hear that! thank you for telling me!
i'm at roughly 7 years on this very-well-traveled thinkpad, and it gets to be that time again. i am looking for a *small, light* laptop.
i travel soon, so memories of ~2008 netbooks trickle through my mind, though i know we aren't allowed nice things any more.
needs to run:
- debian stable, cleanly
- firefox with some middling-heavy tabs like slack (i know, i know, ugh)
- some containers w/php web apps inside
@brennen The latest time I was buying a laptop was last year, and I got a Framework, but due to their big tent nazi bar stance, I'm not getting another and don't recommend it to others, either. I've started collecting links for when I need a laptop again, hopefully not in several years.

Also, a refurbished ThinkPad is always an option for me.

Look, people, i get it. You hate cars and drivers. I know car culture is bad. I agree with you. I don't need a lecture.
I'm muting this because too many of you all are really annoying, argumentative, and living in echo chambers of fantasy thinking.
If you're not one of those people, then I probably like you and think you're cool.
Hey, you know that little nut at the end of a M.2 socket that you screw the card into?
Turns out it’s Quite Important Actually

@cjtype HarfBuzz is set in IranNastaliq, a freebie font around on the net. The HarfRust one is Astrolabe, by Khaled Hosny:

We just render the text with the font, move around the glyphs a bit in a graphics editing app for square composition, then feed that to the AI. Eg.
