In #KDEApps1904, Okular gets support to show and verify digital signatures on PDFs. This feature is essential to use KDE's document viewer for business or if you need to exchange documents in any official capacity... like when negotiating international peace treaties.

I just discovered this sticker on my way home. This is an insult to science.
People saying such things should stop using their smartphones, computers and every other technology made possible by hard working scientists. I want to see them live without cars, electricity and modern medicine.
Ich bin wütend, weil die E-Mail-Ausdrucker heute unser Internet kaputt gemacht haben. :-(

it occurs to me that what in IT we call "security" in most other engineering disciplines would be called "basic safety engineering", or even, "material science"

Wenn man sich in seiner Filterblase so umschaut, dann könnte man fast meinen, die #Uploadfilter sind schon abgeschmettert. Aber denken wir daran: ein Erfolg ist alles andere als gewiss! Daher am Samstag auf die Straße und #SaveTheInternet.
I just updated my du7f to the latest ruby on rails version, which addressed some security issues.

> Je mehr Huawei-Geräte in den Telekommunikationsnetzen der Welt installiert seien, desto schwieriger werde es für die #NSA , "alles zu erfassen". #Huawei behindere die Bemühungen der USA, auszuspionieren, wen sie wollten. Dies sei der erste Grund für die US-Kampagne gegen Huawei.

I just experienced a Thunderbird bug, which is older than my first Linux installation: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=180997
If you wonder, my first steps with Linux were with SuSE Linux 8.1, which had KDE 3.0.3 and a Linux kernel 2.4.19.
I should learn to run `apt full-upgrade` in screen or tmux, also when upgrading a local machine :-/

I created a GoFundMe for helping me to buy the computer at https://www.gofundme.com/for-buying-a-new-computer-for-developing-fedilab
It's for a Librem 15 version 4 (Only if I get enough funds otherwise, any other ideas are welcomed). Thanks.

Ein FreeBSD-Entwickler spricht über systemd:
The Tragedy of systemd
Benno Rice https://2019.linux.conf.au/schedule/presentation/156/ systemd is, to put it mildly, controversial.

Make your Bash scripts detect more errors, add this line early in a script:
`set -eu -o pipefail`
`set -e` makes the script fail if a command exits with a non-zero exit status.
`set -u` lets the script fail when you're trying to use not yet defined variables.
`set -o pipefail` will pass on the error from a failed piped command, e.g. `false | true` will then fail, where it would have succeeded otherwise. This one is not available in dash, but in busybox' ash it is.
A simple way to browse the web with the IPv4 address of a remote machine:
Install and configure:
sudo apt install tsocks
cat << EOF > ~/.tsocks.conf
server = 127.0.0.1
server_type = 5
server_port = 1080
EOF
Run in a shell:
ssh -D 1080 myotherhost
Run in another shell:
tsocks firefox -P myotherprofile --no-remote
WARNING: IPv6 connections are not proxied.
