Et pour bien finir le #RIPE84, une notification du RIPE que deux participant·es ont signalé qu'ils avaient été testés positifs au retour :-(

Reproducible Builds aims to make it easier to check the source code of free and open source software. You can follow the project at:

➡️ @reproducible_builds

The project's website is at https://reproducible-builds.org

Reproducible Builds promotes tools and practices to help verify that open source code has not been altered before its distribution.

The test: setting up a HTTPS site, asking a certificate and revoking it. Then, running a paid ad on it and see how many clients connect.

Answer: around 80 % of clients happily accept the revoked certificate.

Part of the reason I don't think higher ed will return to "normal" next year is not solely because of students carrying trauma from covid, but their horizons have been seriously limited by brexit. Many are effected by increasing poverty and rising costs. All of them are aware of the impending devastation of climate change.

We stole their futures and gave them to Rupert Murdoch in exchange for bunting and an extra bank holiday.

LibreCast aims to provide a next generation internet with better privacy, more decentralisation, less spam and better energy efficiency by using "multicast". You can follow at:

trying to follow this instruction:

talk about the things you love, even if you think nobody cares.

people won't ask for it at least at first, but some of them will care

and it's attractive to see someone talk about the things they love.

let go of the notion that it's worthless if you don't get a minimum number of listeners, reactions, replies.

practice caring publicly about the things you care about.

I think this is a good reminder for me. I never liked being shy anyway

It's better to provide a real-world example understand how dumb the EU's argument for #chatcontrol is.

Their argument is basically that they have to implement client-side checks on all the messaging apps to protect children from abuse.

Besides the sheer absurdity of the implementation of client-side checks for *all* the available apps out there, while not reducing people's privacy and not creating a backdoor that malicious actors will be eager to exploit, and besides the macroscopic contradictions in the EU's position (first they called E2E encryption a civic right, then they push for client-side checks on those E2E-encrypted chats), it's appropriate to provide a real-world example.

Most of the domestic abuse doesn't happen online. It happens within the domestic walls.

If we follow the EU's logic, it's therefore appropriate to push everyone with kids in the EU to install surveillance cameras and mics in their homes (you know, to ensure that they don't abuse their kids). Or maybe keep the doors of their houses open so authorities can immediately intervene in case of abuse.

In other words, is it allowed to drastically lower the bar for privacy and security for everyone for the benefit of a minority, without first considering if there are smarter solutions to solve the problems of that minority? Just to name a few: invite parents to pay more attention to what their kids do online, or establish a European emergency line with specialists immediately within reach in case of reports.

Meeting people in rural electorates is such a trip. People growing up in poverty who are lifelong Libs voters.

Then they talk about how awful it is that social wealth is low, how support services are largely decorative, how education + environment are critical issues to them.

You think that being unemployed shouldn’t mean starving to death? Surprise! You’re left wing.

“I’m not a leftie or anything, I just don’t think that mining companies should be allowed to literally kill us.” you say.

Congrats! You should be voting Greens ⚠️🌏🌱
