The initial release v0.1 "works accidentially" of blinky is available in the AUR:
aur.archlinux.org/packages/bli

If anyone is interested, feel free to get it, more users == more feedback == more improvement :)

monitor.gitlab.net/dashboard/d shows a significant increase in the number of repos imported to gitlab.com from GitHub, likely due to the acquisition of GitHub through Microsoft.

Fun fact: guess who owns the IP address gitlab.com is pointed at: whois.com/whois/52.167.219.168

Some coincidences just happen to make you feel a little amused.

In Firefox's addressbar, you can limit results by typing special characters before or after your term

^ for matches in your browsing history.
* for matches in your bookmarks.
% for matches in your currently open tabs.
# for matches in page titles.
@ for matches in web addresses.

Uh, libreoffice offers "encrypt with GPG-key" in their save-dialog. Sweet! Very sweet!

So, because we don't have enough of them, I have written my own AUR-helper (primarily as I have found none that suited my needs). If you are interested in trying it and want to help testing, this is greatly appreciated! :)
Same goes for Bugreports or just general feedback or ideas!

So I just met one of the 3 (!) maintainers of F-Droid. They are desperately looking for more volunteers as they are responsible for 1500 repositories between them.

TIL: "No route to host" on Linux does not necessarily mean "no route to host".

If a firewall rejects a packet, it usually sends an ICMP port unreachable, which is correctly interpreted. The proper behaviour defined in RFC 1812 would be ICMP Admin Prohibited (Type 3 Code 13), but the Linux kernel converts that to EHOSTUNREACH, which is interpreted by libc as "No route to host".

Therefore - check the actual traffic using tcpdump/Wireshark. No route to host, well... doesn't mean no route to host.

Wie sorgt man dafür, dass die User auf einer Kiste nicht mit services reden können, die auf localhost lauschen?

nft add rule filter output skuid <username> drop

Das wirft alle Pakete, die so ein user rausschickt, weg. problem solved, wer's doch probiert kriegt 'n Connection Timeout für die aufzubauende Verbindung.

(Und in python-requests löst's eine vierfache Exception-Kaskade aus.^^)

Neue Monitoring-Infrastruktur in Betrieb. Hat ein bisschen gedauert, an den ganzen Extras zu schrauben, aber tut jetzt und wurde soeben scharfgeschaltet. \o/

Das BSI hat 18 Crypto-Libs auditieren lassen, will aber die Ergebnisse nicht frei veröffentlicht sehen. Praktischerweise kann ja jeder diese Dokumente selber anfragen. Nutzt dafür diesen Link:

Liebe Follower, ich überlege zusätzlich zu RSS insanity.industries zu vertooten. Direkt hier auf'm Account oder ein separater insanity.industries-Account? (Gerne auch per direkter Nachricht, opinions desired :))

Being an open-source maintainer is really hard. A lot of people tend to act very entitled towards you, as if you "owe" them your time or your attention.

It's totally illogical: you put something out there for free, and now because of that, folks feel like they deserve more of it! And yet this is often the prevailing mood in OSS communities.

At the same time, you may start to believe this logic yourself, leading to "open-source guilt." This often ends in burnout.
