The #eff made a wonderful project called rayhunter. It detects modern cell site simulators (aka #stingrays, fake cell towers). But it doesn't work out of the box on Debian and when I offered a fix (commands to compile a version for Debian), they didn't like it, suggesting that everyone who uses Debian or #Ubuntu 22.04 should set up a rust development environment & compile it themselves. The beauty of #OpenSource is that I don't have to accept that answer. I'm forking it & adding a #Debian release

I'm not familiar with #Microsoft's #GitHub CI/CD system, so I'm making automated jobs to do it in #GitLab's CI. I **will** accept pull requests to also implement it in GitHub's CI/CD, and I can mirror my fork over there after I get the feature implemented. Hopefully the upstream maintainers will accept my feature so the project is more accessible to people, especially #journalists and #activists who might not know how to get the bleeding edge #Rust toolchain. And if it is not accepted, then people who find out about my repo can choose between downloading a release from my CI/CD or compiling it themselves. And that's OK. Letting people choose is a good thing. When there is a difference of opinion, spinning up another fork is great. Who knows, maybe I'll add a #Windows release as well. 😁

Do you still use the official version of Firefox (not a fork) now that their new ToS have dropped?

Here's a thought for you. QA jobs are going to become more important as more people jump on the vibe coding trend. How could one demonstrate that they are more effective and efficient at doing QA than sold random person who just claims to be a talented QA engineer? How could consumers determine who has quality QA before adopting a new technology?

Earlier this week I had to pick a couple locks out of necessity. That's why I always have my emergency picks in my wallet. They are very small and there are only 3 picks, but if these are ever called for, despiration makes up for the lack of quality. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you have no other choice. It's been a few years since I needed to do that.

Hey @Dimi, you still sell hardware, yeah? I might be looking for some sticks of DDR4 (ECC, 2667MHz). Used is fine (kinda preferred to save money, honestly). 4x16 and 2x32. Possibly more if the price is right, but probably just adding 128GB will be enough. I want to support people like you, selling things on Nostr for bitcoin. I have my own hosting, but I'd be happy for you to be my hardware supplier. 😎

Trump: I couldn't manage to build a wall, but I'm going to make America great again this time around, I swear! China: we built a wall you can see from space over thousand of years ago. You might want to level up your game. Just sayin'

Built a row cover frame and a trellis. Both should last 10+ years with little to no maintenance. Feels good. Really good

#50forFOSS

has inspired me. I'm a day late, but I'm here and trying to make up for my lack or previous donations. First up: Debian. Turns out they are the ultimate form of #OpenSource. They want you to contribute effort, not money.

Next up: Qubes. They get 14% more money when donations come in via bitcoin. No need to make Visa/Mastercard/PayPal rich! Glad to donate using decentralized money that is pushing green energy forward.

I'm happy to report that they accept donations over Tor! Thunderbird takes the same plus Google and Apple pay, and maybe a bank transfer? Couldn't donate over a mobile browser, but it worked from my desktop (and yes, over Tor)

Thunderbird

Thunderbird is a free email application that’s easy to set up and customize - and it’s loaded with great features!

Situation is similar with KiCAD and FreeCAD: looks like the best option is to use a credit card using Stripe.

Making sure you're not a bot!

It worked okay for KiCAD but said the card was declined for FreeCAD. I guess I don't have permission from Stripe or Visa or my financial institution to donate "my" money to FreeCAD. 🤷‍♂️ I guess I'll try again next month. Anyway, that's the report for this month.

Walk the dinosaur is one of the most underrated songs of the 20th century.

If a protocol doesn't protect your identity (e.g. including IP address), and someone can go shake down people who post things they don't like, is it really censorship resistant? 🤔

All these people doing pushups should switch to dips. /me ducks 🤪😂
