jrollans.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
So we're finally splitting our monorepo! If you package #Pidgin, you'll want to read this post!
For those of you that don't know, the source code repository for Pidgin has historically contained four separate but related projects.
This has worked okay for the past 20 odd years, but has caused a number of issues including completely shadowing projects like #Finch.
Due to those issues and GTK+ 2 being removed from distributions we're separating everything!

The first open source software that we used, and the FOSS that we have most recently started using regularly.
🎉 I made an age verification bypass for Discord!
Hi everyone! After many requests, I just added Discord to my age verification bypass extension! It was the hardest one to bypass so far but I did it!
https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/age-verification-bypass?utm_source=fedi_share (Just install and use on Discord web)
More details about what's bypassed : https://github.com/helloyanis/age-verification-bypass/wiki/discord
I managed to do it by spoofing an old version number in the requests to Discord's API (a version that didn't have age verification) and hijacking the gateway connection and making the client think you are an adult!
❗In regions like Australia and the UK, Discord does additionnal checks and you'll get a "Messages failed to load" error. In that case use a VPN along with the extension.
It may get patched, if discord propagates the additionnal check to all regions but hopefully not.
With Discord, Twitter, Reddit and bluesky bypassed in this extension, I'm really happy at how it turned out!
Give it a try!

Hi Mastodon! 👋 #introduction
I’m Edgar, and I built Terra Tempora: a free globe where you can scroll through history and watch borders, empires and events change over time.

It’s open source, with no ads and no tracking, and it’s available in English, French and Spanish.

I wanna talk about the political movement of the Open Source community. If you spend enough time on fedi, you surely will have heard *plenty* of criticisms of what's going on in Open Source, and rightfully so.
So I'm curious, what do we think the Open Source community *should be doing* in order to achieve important progressive and anti-authoritarian goals? What should the next generation of programmers be thinking of and working on in this space?
A special rule: You're only allowed to say "don't X" if you have at least as many "do Y" recommendations. Preferably, I'd like to see more do's than don't's.
Boosts welcome

Yonder is a Mastodon-compatible ActivityPub server written in Rust.
Your community, your rules, your data — and the Mastodon apps you already use just work.

Had an issue with #esphome and #homeassistant where my #cn105 integration only showed a Sub Mode of WARMUP for my Mitsubishi heat pump. According to the CN105 docs such as state doesn't exist. In 24 hours someone posted a solution that worked. I love #OpenSource. Now i can trigger stuff on defrost and so on

Segurança na bolha/gcn
🔒 Como a gente cuida da segurança das apps da bolha?
Toda app que mantemos (aprova, agende, poet, justmytoots, os utilitários…) passa por uma esteira de segurança em 3 camadas antes de subir:
1️⃣ Scanners automáticos (no CI e local): gitleaks, govulncheck, trivy, gosec, semgrep, shellcheck, hadolint, nuclei.
Pegam segredo vazado, CVE de dependência, injeção.
2️⃣ Revisão guiada contra o OWASP Top 10 + ASVS e regras da Trail of Bits — a parte de lógica e autorização que scanner não enxerga.
3️⃣ Pentest (Strix): não só aponta — explora e prova a falha com PoC, e aí a gente corrige a raiz.
Tudo junto numa skill "layered-security-review" que dispara as três de uma vez.
Feito em casa, código aberto, pra bolha e pra quem quiser.
Typecase 1.2 ist da, und meine ruhige Markdown-Schreib-App für Linux ist bunter geworden. ✍️
Neu: Bilder direkt im Text. Und langes Markdown für Bilder, Links und Fußnoten klappt zu kleinen farbigen Pillen zusammen, damit der Text gut lesbar bleibt.
Außerdem neu: eine Gliederung, ein Vorlagen-Assistent und Exporte mit Inhaltsverzeichnis, Titelseite und Teilen.
Weiterhin nur .md-Dateien, kein Konto, kein Netz.
Typecase 1.2 is out, and my calm Markdown writing app for Linux just got a lot more colorful. ✍️
New: images right in the text. And long Markdown for images, links and footnotes folds into small colored pills, so your text stays easy to read.
Also new: an outline, a template assistant, and exports with table of contents, cover page and parts.
Still plain .md files, no account, no network.

📦 New FeedEcho destination: GitHub. One user asked for it, so here it is.
FeedEcho can now publish feed items as markdown files straight into a GitHub repo. Connect a repo with a fine-grained PAT, then set a file path template and body template per echo. Front matter renders like any other template text, so your feed's tags land in the file. Existing files update in place, never duplicated.
Self-host or use the hosted version: https://github.com/jcrabapple/feedecho and https://feedecho.net
