@David Jesus Wept! …but not too much because that’s precious slop fuel!
If a registry is using some kind of CDN or proxy which caches access to the index files, then it is recommended that registries implement some form of cache invalidation when the files are updated. If these caches are not updated, then users may not be able to access new crates until the cache is cleared.
this doesn't make any sense if you think caching is about data, because you could obviously just serve a progressive stream of new crates, bucketed into discrete timesteps for the purpose of easier caching

A “local registry source” is intended to be a subset of another registry source, but available on the local filesystem (aka vendoring). Local registries are downloaded ahead of time, typically sync’d with a Cargo.lock, and are made up of a set of *.crate files and an index like the normal registry is.
this is obviously a backdoor. but why? for what purpose?

Well. There's a thing.

Premessa: un membro della redazione fa anche parte di Luanti.
Tracer AI, compagnia che usa agenti IA per scovare e segnalare le violazioni di diritto d'autore, ha fatto rimuovere da Google Play l'app della piattaforma videoludica Luanti. L'accusa, mossa in nome di Microsoft, è di aver utilizzato risorse del gioco Minecraft (proprietà Microsoft) nella propria app; un'accusa facilmente smontabile in quanto sia il codice che le risorse di Luanti sono visibili a chiunque (è software libero).
Questa non è la prima volta che accade: nel 2023 la stessa compagnia mosse la medesima accusa, portando chi sviluppa Luanti a presentare una contronotifica: l'app rimase non disponibile per 46 giorni prima di essere riabilitata, contrariamente al limite di 14 giorni lavorativi sancito dalla legge statunitense che regola tali faccende. In entrambi i casi, non sono mai state fornite prove.
Qualche mese fa la stessa sorte è toccata a Allumeria, un gioco a cubetti oggi prossimo al lancio, sulla piattaforma Steam. Lo sviluppatore fu colto di sorpresa finché, subito dopo l'arrivo della notizia al direttore artistico di Minecraft su Bluesky, Microsoft non ritirò la segnalazione.
"Se fossimo una piccola azienda che dipende dalle entrate della propria app, ciò sarebbe particolarmente devastante". Inoltre, essendo una realtà sostenuta da volontarɜ, combattere contro tali richieste equivale a grandi sprechi di energie e risorse.

@musicmatze oups. We use netcup as a hoster which isn't really a good choice for reliable mailing service.
I can activate you manually for now and then we need to think where to migrate our mailing 🙄
@p2panda

#Google is going to close down #Android platform, making installing "unverified" apps almost impossible for a regular user. This would completely kill #FDroid, something I rely on to get apps that don't track me, don't show me ads and don't try to exploit me.
If you care about #FreeSoftware, you should care about this. Maybe with enough public uproar, Google like many other corporations before it will back off from this plan. But it certainly won't happen on it's own.
Uplynulo to jak voda. Aktuálně je věc pozastavená, protože údajně auto řídil cizinec bez trv. pobytu a má se vrátit do ČR až někdy v září.
Mezitím dostala PČR ode mě ještě dva podobné incidenty, kde se stále čeká na vyjádření provozovatele, kteří se to dle mého asi snaží vysedět a přijmout pokutu za nespolupráci.
Přemýšlím, jak zařídit kvalitnější důkazní materiál do budoucna... 🤔
