custom domain support for the new (git-pages based) Codeberg Pages backend is now generally available!

This is your periodic reminder that 10 years ago an audiophile forum started debating which versions of memcpy had the highest sound quality.
And that C++ new sounds better than malloc.
Now we're working on accounts without phone numbers, and the technical draft is public.
If you're interested or might ever want to run your own server, have a look.
https://github.com/mollyim/flatline-docs/blob/main/drafts/phone-less-registration.md
Open to questions or suggestions.
@mollyim I'd be interested in having a Flatline-on-demand in my Gitlab pipeline integration, and as a Github-Actions-equivalent. Is that something that should be provided in the upstream Flatline repos?
@rubdos Sure. We have a private repo that deploys our Flatline instance to the cloud using GitHub Actions. This instance is currently just for development and testing, but when it's finished it will become the public demo so people can try Flatline. And the CI scripts will also be public. So yes, that's planned. But we still have a lot of work left.

what's more sapphic & affectionate than co-maintaining shared Lix configuration?
Unix nslookup was the standard DNS query tool. Then it was deprecated, abandoned to rot, and then resurrected. Versions of nslookup in all of these states have been shipped with production operating systems. Don't trust any of them.

Any system that formats dates as month-day-year is wrong.
first time I actually done a linux thing on my "new" debian install (wrote a "function" for zsh that essentially aliases a grep command)
girlies first scripting
@navi hmm hmm I see
@MiaWinter for context, in bash, /bin/sh, or zsh with -o shwordsplit, if you did search-files "name with spaces"
it would become grep -rbw . -e "name" "with" "spaces", or, searching name in the directories with and spaces
the quote makes splitting on spaces not happen, so grep gets "name with spaces" properly
@MiaWinter@tech.lgbt:
There's this old shell scripting mantra, 'QEFS,' which stands for Quote Every F*@# Substitution :p
A substitution/expansion is anything that expands (is transformed before execution) into a different string of characters. E.g.: $var, $_, $@, ${var}, $(some command), some command, $(( 2 + 2 )).
All of these should be quoted by default.
Over time you should acquire an intuition for what you want or don't want to quote/split, but the general rule of thumb is to, as the mantra says, quote every substitution.
I have a hotkey on all my machines that quick-launches the refcard because I do a lot of scripting in Zsh. :p
Some will say that there's no point in scripting in a non-POSIX shell, but who cares if you're doing it for yourself. ^^

the only thing i actively dislike about vulkan’s api is sType tbh
i understand needing to set sType on .pNext structures
but why the hell do i need to set
.sType = VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_COMMAND_BUFFER_BEGIN_INFO,in aVkCommandBufferBeginInfothat i’m passing tovkBeginCommandBuffer(cmd_buf, &begin_info)like seriously vkBeginCommandBuffer takes a typed pointer, there’s no reason for me to need to type the whole tag
and this wouldn’t be such a big problem if not for:
$ grep '\.sType' vulkan.c | wc -l > 42gigantic long names, that you have to type over and over, for no practical reason
the main thing vulkan messes up is not providing helpers for those structs, really, helpers for common defaults would go such a long way to make it more approachable for beginners (there’s only a third party util library for helpers, in c++, that is c++ only)

Widywałem przyciski bądź smyrałki przy przejściach dla pieszych w wielu miastach i miasteczkach, a nawet wsiach Polski. Niektóre z nich wyposażone są w kontrolki — po naciśnięciu bądź pacnięciu kontrolka się podświetla, informując nas, że już mechanizm został aktywowany i zostaje nam czekać. W bardziej czytelnej wersji podświetla się napis w stylu "proszę czekać".
Otóż, w Szczecinie jest odwrotnie. Tam kontrolka ma tekst w stylu "naciśnij, aby przejść", i pulsuje do momentu pacnięcia smyrałki. Dopiero po aktywacji gaśnie.
Ciekawe kto wpadł na to, żeby zrobić odwrotnie, i zmylić całą resztę Polski…
@j-g00da, ja. Tylko z drugiej strony przyciski chyba częściej się psuły.

Its really hard to cram technical refutation into Mastodons comically small default word limit, thats all.
GOS has long-form posts on Twitter. Mastodon should make an easy way to increase the limit.
A lot of projects do, unprovoked, make attacks at GOS. Its not drama or beef, its malice. This is what causes GOS to defend themselves. Its very unfortunate GOS is subjected to this abuse and it should stop.
Well, there are Mastodon forks, like glitch-soc or hometown, which do indeed have a modifiable character limit. And it seems that migrating to one isn't too difficult.
So there's a solution. Either GOS is unaware of it, or they chose not to go this route.
I don’t even know what is GOS referencing at this point.Exactly! It's hard to find the source of the issue amongst the tens (if not hundreds) of toots which all sound like "We are being attacked," "$PROJECT has worse security than GOS," etc.
Perhaps a FAQ site/thread on the forum could go a long way in making it easier to grasp the situation? Instead of writing 10 posts in response, you write one and attach a link to the site/forum.
That way, people could stay informed, and actually useful information would not be lost in the shit storm.
CC: @HybridStaticAnimate@infosec.exchange @tastyraspberry@mastodon.online @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social
@me @dwaem @tastyraspberry @GrapheneOS
The issue is people tend to believe the first thing they see if there is no counter. Making a FAQ entry on the site someone is being conditioned to avoid is... unhelpful. Counters are often context specific and need to be in the same place. Of course GOS would rather none of this happen at all but they are given very little choice in the matter.
Its as extreme as you describe because thats how extreme the situation they are forced to be in is.
/e/ and Murena have been been promoting their products by misleading people about GrapheneOS for years. This has turned into an all out war on GrapheneOS by their company and supporters. We began regularly debunking their inaccurate claims and they try to frame it as aggression.
@GrapheneOS
STOP BASHING OTHER ALTERNATIVE ANDROID ROMS
@niavy These threads are a direct response to attacks on our project and exist to address the inaccurate claims made about the GrapheneOS project and our team. We're defending ourselves from /e/ and Murena along with their supporters continuing to mislead people about GrapheneOS.
We're going to address the fact that their supporters use the tactic of portraying our threads addressing their inaccurate claims to falsely present us as the aggressor. It's another of their inaccurate talking points.
@GrapheneOS It's great you're taking time to clear up factually incorrect claims, whether they're made out of maliciousness or naivety. Constructive community engagement is great!
But please, for the love of god, this information only belongs A) in the threads where factually incorrect claims are being made and B) on your website in the FAQ section.
I know it's not intuitive, but pushing conflict into everyone's face again and again makes your project seem *less* trustworthy, not more.
Those who spread misinfo make individual posts and shove it in peoples faces. GOS is allowed to make posts about topics that pertain to them, especially if they are to point out harm and abuse.
I'd add that I've recently unfollowed GOS precisely because almost every single interaction of theirs seems to have been negative. Even if it's correcting misinformation.
Now every time I see a GOS toot I think to myself "great, GOS drama again." I don't need that in my life.
@tastyraspberry@mastodon.online's suggestions were on point. I suggest you take them to heart.
P.S.: thanks for making GOS :)

@me @tastyraspberry @GrapheneOS
What a horribly apathetic thing to say. They wouldnt respond to abuse if they werent being abused.
They've created widespread misconceptions about the GrapheneOS project with inaccurate claims about the purpose of the project and what it provides to users. Many people incorrectly believe they aren't our target audience or that it wouldn't be a good fit for them due to this.
GrapheneOS is a privacy project which is intended to be usable by everyone. Usability and app compatibility are top priorities. Our userbase largely isn't highly technical. It's very easy to install and use. Devices can be purchased around the world with GrapheneOS preinstalled.
There's a comparison between operating systems based on the Android Open Source Project at https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm which provides a good overview of how GrapheneOS compares to other options. GrapheneOS is clearly a privacy project and is a major innovator in privacy protections.
GrapheneOS has an extremely high level of app compatibility. Nearly every Android app can be used on it which is crucial for broad usability. A tiny subset of Android apps banning using an alternate OS which we haven't yet worked around or convinced to allow it are incompatible.
Our primary focus is improving the usability and out-of-the-box experience of GrapheneOS. We're continuing to add own privacy and security focused implementations of functionality normally provided by Google apps/services. The user-facing apps are being overhauled and replaced.
We already shipped our own network-based location and geocoding implementations which we'll be making more discoverable. Our high quality local text-to-speech implementation is shipping soon and we'll also be providing a local speech-to-text implementation. A lot more is coming.
/e/ bundles many privacy invasive apps/services. That includes adding a bunch of Google services not present in AOSP with privileged access. They implement speech-to-text by sending user data to OpenAI without informing users about it. We cannot do that.
https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114880528716479708
Apple and Google both provide support for offline speech-to-text using local models. Users can configure it to be fully offline.
The Murena Voice to Text service in /e/OS sends the user's audio to OpenAI which is hidden away in their terms of service:
https://community.e.foundation/t/voice-to-text-feature-using-open-ai/70509
Providing users with privacy requires ongoing work to address privacy vulnerabilities. GrapheneOS keeps up with the standard Android privacy patches. We also fix many Android privacy issues ourselves including VPN leaks. We're actively working on fixing remaining VPN issues.
Privacy heavily depends on security. Security vulnerabilities are widely exploited to obtain user data. State actors aren't the only ones exploiting vulnerabilities and it's not at all limited to targeted attacks. Privacy depends on fixing both privacy and security flaws.
Commercially developed exploits are widely deployed against users both online and in the physical world. Broadly using exploits against many people at a protest, crossing a border or visiting a high traffic website is not a small scale targeted attack. This is not going away.
/e/ and Murena have repeatedly repeated attacks by authoritarians on privacy technology by claiming without basis that GrapheneOS is mainly useful to criminals and used by criminals. They're claiming it about hardening against vulnerabilities in general:
https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/116353973732143171
Gaël Duval is the founder and president of the /e/ foundation along with the CEO of Murena. Duval and his organizations have consistently taken a stance against protecting users from exploits. In this video, he once again claims protecting against exploits is only useful for pedophiles and spies.
Translation to English:
> There's the attack surface, on that front we're not security specialists here, so I couldn't answer you precisely, but from the discussions I've had, it seems that everything
These inaccurate talking points used by /e/ and Murena to mislead people about the purpose of GrapheneOS, what it provides and who uses it are heavily propagated by their supporters to harm GrapheneOS in podcasts, blog posts, forums, social media and elsewhere. It's pervasive.
/e/ and Murena are based in France. Recently, France's national law enforcement has been smearing GrapheneOS, Signal and other privacy projects. They've heavily pushed the same false narrative as /e/ and Murena claiming GrapheneOS primarily benefits and is used by criminals.
Both state and corporate media in France repeated inaccurate claims from their nationa law enforcement without questioning it. They presented false claims about the features, distribution, marketing and userbase. They conflated it with sketchy products which aren't GrapheneOS.
/e/ and Murena are aligning themselves with these false narratives about genuine privacy and security projects. Their supporters are also aligning themselves with this. Their concept of privacy is control and surveillance by EU corporations and governments instead of the US.
Podcast Projets Libres heavily promotes /e/ and Murena. They've consistently misrepresented the GrapheneOS project to promote those. Our corrections have consistently been ignored. They recently published an episode heavily pushing many of these false narratives about GrapheneOS.
The /e/ enthusiast interviewed in the podcast replied twice to our thread from 4 days earlier addressing Duval's claims about hardening being for pedophiles and GrapheneOS somehow not being a privacy project. This is exactly the narrative which was heavily pushed in the episode.
After our response to their post promoted the podcast episode was once again ignored, we posted https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/116380872236123594 as a top-level thread addressing it. Following this, they made one minor correction while keeping the outrageous claim we aren't a privacy project fully intact.
Podcast Projets Libres and Framasoft have closely worked with /e/ to promite it. /e/ is not a legitimate privacy project but rather one which fails to provide basic standard patches and protections while adding invasive services. These people are not legitimate privacy advocates.
/e/ isn't a privacy project but rather a digital sovereignty project. It receives millions of euros in funding from the EU with the goal of moving technology within the control of the EU. /e/ supports violating people's right to privacy as long as it's France and the EU doing it.

> The European Union has subsidized us to the tune of several million for this project.
Murena sells products largely built with funding received from the EU. It's government funding being used to heavily enrich the shareholders of the Murena company.
Many European countries have a major issue with Apple preventing them from accessing user data by implementing strong security protections and strong end-to-end encryption. /e/ provides an option within their control which fails to keep up with basic privacy and security patches.
France's government and law enforcement have become extremely hostile towards disk encryption, end-to-end encryption and secure devices. Murena is trying to differentiate themselves from projects providing strong privacy and security while deriding those as being for criminals.
People shouldn't underestimate the harm which is going to be caused by them repeatedly telling people serious privacy and security are for pedophiles, criminals and spies. It's not a one time statement but rather a consistent narrative in years of their posts. This is a problem.
Murena and /e/ have been largely successful in how they've branded themselves despite lack of substance. Many people believe their false marketing. Governments now have an ally accepted within a lot of the privacy community which is saying strong privacy only helps pedophiles.
You are oversimplifying things.
When you read Gaël Duval’s interview, that’s not what he’s saying at all.
He draws a distinction between data protection and data security (with which I disagree) by giving a crude example.
If you have to quote him because he's talking nonsense, at least quote something he actually said.

Do you realize that you spend more time posting messages here about the crap other people do than sharing information about GOS ?
😮💨
@mas @GrapheneOS The quote was exact and the meaning is clear. GOS wouldnt be posting so much about this if it wasnt happening. Youre trying to downplay it.
@HybridStaticAnimate @GrapheneOS
Read the article please :
"/e/OS permet à ses utilisateurs d’échapper à la collecte massive de données personnelles qui s’opère dans les smartphones du marché, pas d’aider les pédocriminels à passer sous les radars de la justice. Autrement dit : /e/OS n’est pas un système avec un objectif de sécurité durcie et qui serait utile seulement à des personnes ciblées"
or use another translation if need.
