I spent two days stress testing the engine and the API interface with Dex & Dalvik.

Even though there are already specialized tools out there for Android reversing, these two guys have some unique properties compared to the canonical architectures.

Dalvik is a bytecode based VM and it's designed to run Dex files.

Testing them exposed limitations in REDasm's API design where "Processor" and "Loader" plugins are isolated and cannot share data directly (there are ways to notify data though, eg. interrupts in x86).

The Dex loader is now expressive enough to map symbols, names, functions, etc. where Dalvik expects them.

This capability ultimately led to a much better type system.

It's been fascinating to catch snippets of other #opensource #developers coming together to establish common ground over the last week. We had to work through a number of negative emotions once we got word about parts of our own projects being associated to #fascist shitbirds.

But what I'm enjoying the most is how like minded people are coming together and discussing how to move forward together, with a lot of common goals. People are discussing the effectiveness of current software licensing (#agpl, etc) and whether we need to make new ones, vetting of 3rd party libraries, and above all else, keeping the aforementioned shitbirds out.

And we do need to keep them out. Because they are going to keep outing themselves as the horrible people they are.

So far in the last month, I've watched #tailwindcss, #laravel, and #digitalocean go deep into the abyss with either supporting fascism and/or aggressively shoving AI shit into every thing they do.

Those 3 things I just mentioned are the primary tools I use in the work I have done for over a decade. And with each announcement regarding them, they were dead to me in that same moment.

I'm determined to build out my own replacements for #css and #php framework. Just like the #indieweb, it's all about owning your works with a strong #diy ethos.

It appears the #technofascist reveal party we're going through has allowed for good things to happen. Much to their chagrin...

Security vulnerabilities in ePA clients: “The implementations had blind spots”

I'm not a #neovim user, but it was on my list of editors to test out - due to the praise it's gotten from a lot of people I know and trust, as well as all over the Interwebs.

But I lost interest after seeing how the Neovim maintainer handled this case:

https://github.com/neovim/neovim.github.io/issues/501

I mean, that's just cruel behaviour of the project lead and maintainer.

I'm just disappointed. And I don't even care what anyone else think about that. This just makes Neovim a completely unacceptable project for me to even look at any closer.

Damn, #Codeberg is really taking off! Just noticed a project that has 901 stars. Those are 901 people who went out of their way to give a star to a project they liked, which means there must have been so many more who are using the project but did not give a star. Good to see that Codeberg is being used by so many people, as GitHub is truly unusable these days, with pages that refuse to load and GenAI pushed down your throat everywhere.

One shared Markdown index, many developers and coding agents writing through separate Git branches.

The entries may be completely unrelated - but if they land at the same place, Git can still produce a merge conflict.

I solved this in Keep the Why by giving the index deterministic A-Z / 0-9 write areas from the beginning.

The nice part: this mainly solves the sparse-index problem. As the index grows, its existing entries naturally create more separation.

It also makes the structure easier for coding agents to search.

Good idea: Run your own personal cloud

https://cloudinabottle.org

Most of the software we use every day runs on someone else's computer. Cloud in a Bottle is an open source project that lets you run your own cloud server with one click app installs, just like a smartphone. It works on an old laptop, a cheap rented server, or a managed instance starting at $5 a month. The catalog already includes file storage, a password manager, media streaming, a private search engine, and more. Every app runs in its own security sandbox and all your data stays yours with no lock in. It's early days but the whole thing is open source and actively developed.

Open source tools like FreeCAD are okay for quick sketches, but the transition from traditional CAD is often overrated. The flexibility is there, but the workflow feels clunky compared to what I used for my projects in Kyiv. Most people push it for the price, but for a real architect, the logic of the space matters more than the software license. It is a tool, not a solution for better design.

RE: https://floss.social/@Luanti/117236624063635761

I must admit that I am not privy to the particulars of this matter. However, Luanti's contributions to the FOSS community would be best served by his continuation in his role. Microsoft has expressed concerns that the Luanti interface bears a striking resemblance to Minecraft. However, it's important to note that Luanti does not resemble Minecraft at all. Instead of being a closed source, Luanti is an open platform that empowers individuals to create their own gaming experiences and modifications.

Imagine if Luanti were a lookalike of Roblox, but it was born as free software and was part of the FOSS community. This would allow users to do anything with it and would not limit the creativity of game developers.

It should be noted that one of Luanti's games, Mineclonia, is a result of cloning/reversing Minecraft. However, its results differ significantly from the original Minecraft. Therefore, in the event of Microsoft withdrawing their DMCA claim, it would be reasonable to conclude that Luanti should be allowed to live.

Fortunately, unlike Codeberg, the Git providers GitHub, GitLab, and GitFlic have all been in agreement and have seen reason.

The scam group, along with their allies, have previously filed multiple false flag reports. They have a clear financial incentive to discourage, oppress, and discredit any attempt to filter them out — and that includes my block list.

It has been over a month since the Codeberg incident. While I would have preferred a repository with better digital sovereignty than the USA or Russia, it ironically seems the more reliable providers with sound reasoning are GitHub, GitLab, and GitFlic.

I would argue and encourage FOSS developments to think about that. The last thing you want is your work being sniped by a bunch of trolls dogpiling your project. It seems prudent and wise to choose a provider who ignores drama, false flags, and other such nonsense.

The deepest lock-in in most buildings is not the cloud contract. It is the ERP. Finance, stock, people and customers all at once, which is why the renewal is never negotiable and most organisations inherit rather than choose.

I have written up what replacing the tier-one default with Odoo, a Belgian open-source suite, looks like in practice. Scoped first phases in weeks, six of them for one function, not the six-to-eighteen-month norm the incumbents quote. The honest limits are in there too: deep vertical functionality is where SAP earns its price.

What happens when a fresh coding-agent session sees an idea that was already investigated and rejected?

I ran a small experiment: 10 sessions without recorded rationale, 10 with it stored in the repository.

Without project memory, 7/10 sessions put the rejected approach back on the table.

With the rationale available: 0/10.

The runs were also noticeably faster: median wall time dropped from 43s to 18s.

The point is not that Markdown makes the model smarter.

It simply lets the next session start where the previous one ended.

I keep coming back to one idea:

Every repository should carry its own memory.

Git shows what changed, but not the decisions that never became code. A week later, a fresh agent can have the same bad idea again.

Keep the Why puts that reasoning next to the code.

Plot twist:
The EC is using the ambiguity in the legal text and communicated last Friday that steward reporting start Dec 11, 2017 instead. Presumably, someone somehow was badly behind schedule and they felt a need to accommodate. Oh well.

> Article 24(3) of the CRA establishes that reporting obligations [..] apply to open-source software stewards under certain circumstances. [..] Article 24(3) shall apply from 11 December 2027.

#freshrss is such a nice reminder that web apps don’t have to be bloated.

53 requests, ~408 KB of resources, ~27 KB transferred, DOMContentLoaded in 103 ms, and fully loaded in 142 ms.

Fast, lightweight, open source and hosted on a small raspberrypi on my network with no maintenance needed for the last five years or so. (via a docker compose container that gets the latest version every weekly with no manual intervention other than a pull/restart).
