Conservative leadership race turns nasty between Poilievre and Brown

Hello! 👋 I haven’t lost the desire to blog, nor have I decided on Digital Detox, it’s just that I’m currently busy moving. Instead of continuing to program my own stuff after work and pouring my thoughts into blog articles, I had to pack boxes. Today was my last workday in the home office in the old apartment, Monday is the first workday in the home office in my new apartment. Then my blogging frequency will probably remain rather low, because I still have to clear out the old apartment, but I may have a little more … ⌘ Read more

How Kubernetes works under the hood with Docker Desktop
Docker Desktop makes developing applications for Kubernetes easy. It provides a smooth Kubernetes setup experience by hiding the complexity of the installation and wiring with the host. Developers can focus entirely on their work rather than dealing with the Kubernetes setup details.  This blog post covers development use cases and what happens under the hood […]

JMP: Why Bidirectional Gateways Matter
A big part of the vision of Sopranica, and Cheogram in particular, is bidirectional gateways.  A bidirectional gateway is one that allows (at a minimum) any user of either protocol to contact any user of the other protocol without creating an account.  This is not possible with all protocols, but works well when both sides are federated.

Take for instance sip.cheogram.com, which is a bidirectional gateway between XMPP and SIP.  Any … ⌘ Read more

Writing free software is like painting. You should do it if you feel like it, or if you, yourself, get something out of it.

Is it even worth working on FOSS anymore? | Hacker News

At the moment I do not have a working printer at home. I have an inkjet printer, but due to a long period of non-use, the cartridge or the print head has dried up.

Autocrypt - Wikipedia

Just reading in-depth and trying to understand the security model of Delta.Chat a bit more… There’s a few things that really concern me about how Delta.Chat which relies on Autocrypt work:

• There is no Perfect Forward Secrecy
  
• No verification of keys
  
  • Is therefore susceptible to Man-in-the-Middle attacks
    
• Metadata is a BIG problem with Delta.Chat:
  
  • The To and From and Date are trackable by your Mail provider (amongst many other headers)
