TIL that MPV is the best sh player for Android I've seen. I have been looking for a player which gives me the output like mPlayer Linux for decades!

Thanks to @rl_dane & @joel who talked about music 🎵 players on Android

The screencap displays MPV media player interface based on mPlayer Linux on a mobile device. At the top, there is a file information section with details about the media file, including its file number (93), title ("Good Bait"), size (8.645 MiB), format (ogg), and total cache (47.86 KiB). The display settings are shown, including the context (android), refresh rate (60 Hz), and frame timings. The resolution is listed as 1080 x 607 and 960 x 540, with a format of yuv444p. The audio details include the codec (Vorbis), audio output (audiotrack), device (Autoselect device), channels (2), format (floatp → float), sample rate (44100 Hz), and bitrate (191 kbps). Below the file information, the media player interface shows the title "Good Bait" and the artist "Nina Simone / Little Girl Blue (1957)[FLAC]" with a progress bar indicating the current playback time (00:31) and total duration (05:29). The playback controls are visible, including a rewind button, play/pause button, fast-forward button, and a speed control set to 1.00X. The interface is predominantly black with white text, and the playback controls are in white and gray. Ovis2-8B 🌱 Energy used: 0.333 Wh

Reading man pages is important. When you realize that a switch left your long term RAM you usually type man command.

However just opening a manual of a DE you use daily can show you stuff you did not know were (easily) possible

The document is open in a PDF viewer, with a sidebar on the left listing sections such as "Introduction," "Installation," "Configuration," and others. The main content area features a screenshot of a settings window with various icons, including sound, network, and system settings. Below the screenshot, there is a caption that reads, "Figure 2-10: Settings is your one-stop location to make changes. Contents vary." The text provides tips for beginners, including advice on adjusting sound settings and suggests referring to the "Configuration" section for troubleshooting issues like sound or network problems. The document is in a dark theme, and the settings window is displayed in a lighter theme, showing icons like "Sound," "Network," and "System."

I use Jails with Ansible to automate their creation, their lifecycle management and automation of the jailed applications and I highly enjoy, how comfortable and easy it is.

No immutable images, no “Dockerfiles”, no weird volume mounts or image registries and no constant re-creation of images and new deployments just to update something. Just some simple, well isolated operating systems to run my applications in 🙂

I don’t say that Linux containers are bad. There’s for sure situations, where they shine. Just for my personal use-case, they are more effort in comparison to BSD jails and I’m a fan of “using the right tool for a task”

And the idempotent nature of Ansible automation makes it easy to describe them in a declarative way and manage them at scale.

Linux containers (OCI Containers) are ephemeral by design, except the volumes, you mount into them. In large scale environments, that can be useful (cattle vs pets argument). But that also introduces new challenges and makes it more complex to manage them.

For my personal environments, I like the approach of FreeBSD jails more. They are just a directory (or ZFS Dataset) with their own, persistent copy of the OS, easy to manage and the networking capabilities are flexible (bridged, vnet, they can be routed, firewalled, etc).

Jails are well aged, are around since FreeBSD 4 back in 2000, the non-ephemeral approach (and the absence of overlay file systems etc) makes them more feel like individual virtual servers than modern Linux containers but with extreme levels of flexibility.

Tools like jmore(8) (by @vermaden) and Bastille (Jails “Templates”) makes them even easier to manage.

I've been able to configure KDE to my liking so that I feel at home again in the K Desktop Environment.

This is critical because it means that everything from way back in the beginning, decades ago when KDE was released, is still in the current new and fresh version of the K Desktop Environment

It means that the teams which have worked on KDE for the past decades have kept the core of KDE alive

It means that we have an excellent group of programmers, before and current, who have worked on KDE and who have kept KDE beautiful fantastic and magnifique for a wide range of people all over the globe

AI bubble burst, hopefully coming soon. To be fair, "AI" (quotes because there is nothing artificial or intelligent about it, unless you think Markov chains are intelligent) code generation works for the most basic sort of routines. For most programmers this is but an incremental step above boiler plate code and with hallucinations or anything more complicated, all of us who do this for a living know; we are doing it ourselves. That leaves a few real use cases, low hanging fruit for non-important routines, rapid prototyping and chat bots. Where would "AI" be most useful? For those who need basic routines or functionality. Turns out, everyone can get something halfway working and in a very broken state but "looks usable" until it's time to actually put something into production. The only difference with this bubble is that it'll require full rewrites. Guess that could be a good thing though... #ai #ai_bubble #programming #code #opensource

I love the way jackett updates itself. The program runs on different OS smoothly, is an sh based program, only does one thing and does it excellent.

The Update process is run only after a long while, after the spawn of jacket. Since I always monitor its logs i saw the following (as screencapped) today when it announced a new version.

Every move it makes is logged in explicit detail. You see how a lib is first copied checked after arrival then replacing the old version. The same goes for all files in the jackett tree which you run in ~/bin/jackett

In a move that surprises absolutely noone, GitHub now requires users to login in order to browse public repositories (including open source projects). After a few (~10) requests, you get blocked (I can confirm). In order to fight AI scrapers, I guess.

So, GitHub decided to blanket-limit access to open source projects as a defense against the very scourge that they(r parent company) unleashed on the world.

I won't be hypocrite: it's a bit embarrassing, but undeniably satisfying to say "told you so". I moved away from GitHub long ago and I moved all my stuff to Codeberg instead. And so happy I did!

Next step: radicle.xyz maybe?

Liebe alle,
nachdem ich tatsächlich schon mal über das FediVerse einen neuen Job gefunden hatte, probiere ich es jetzt noch einmal und würde mich freuen, wenn ihr mich bei meiner Jobsuche unterstützt und diesen Beitrag kräftig boostet - besten Dank!

---

Nach meiner Ausbildung als IT-Systemkaufmann entwickelte ich zunächst selbstständig Internetseiten für Selbstständige, KMU und Vereine.
Dabei konnte ich in zahlreichen vertrauensvollen Gesprächen stets kundenorientierte Lösungen anbieten und umsetzen.
Zusätzlich verkaufte ich als „ebay-Verkaufsagent“ die Waren (meist) privater Kund*innen und betrieb einen Paketshop.

Da sich meine Selbstständigkeit leider nicht dauerhaft trug, wechselte ich in Anstellungen im Bereich Online-Kundenservice, bzw. Customer Service / Software-Support.
Dabei sammelte ich umfangreiche Erfahrungen in der Betreuung spezifischer Branchen-Software und von Onlineshops, und kommunizierte sowohl mit Verantwortlichen in Unternehmen (meist Marketing, Administration, Technik; B2B) sowie Endkund*innen, auf Deutsch (Elternsprache) und Englisch (C1).

Dank meiner raschen Auffassungsgabe kann ich mich in kurzer Zeit auch steilen Lernkurven stellen, um mich in neue Software und Prozesse einzuarbeiten und diese anschließend überzeugend mit verantwortlichen Personen zu besprechen.
Meine Stärken liegen in freundlicher, zuvorkommender, lösungsorientierter Kommunikation mit ganz verschiedener Klientel. Dabei erkläre ich die jeweiligen Sachverhalte so, dass mich mein Gegenüber zweifelsfrei versteht.

---

Was ich suche:
Mein "Steckenpferd" ist die Arbeit im First-Level Customer-Support.
Das ist der Bereich, in dem ich meine kommunikativen Stärken ausspielen kann, um Software zu erklären und Herausforderungen für die Kund*innen zu lösen.

Am Liebsten wäre mir ein Unternehmen, das sich dem Bereich OpenSource verschrieben hat und weitestgehend entsprechende Software nutzt und/oder selbst entwickelt.

Die Möglichkeit, zwischen einem Mac- oder Linux-Notebook wählen zu können, wäre nice.
Zur Not geht auch Windows.

Bevorzugt eine Stelle mit 100% Remote-Arbeit, da ich einen Hund habe, den ich nicht alleine lassen kann.
Alternative: Mein Hund kann als Bürohund einfach mit ins Büro kommen :)

---

Ich danke euch fürs Boosten ​​ und eure Unterstützung.

Gebt mir sehr gerne Hinweise auf Unternehmen (auch wenn ich schon einige Bewerbungen an "bekannte" Unternehmen versendet und bisher nur Absagen erhalten habe).

Als Antwort auf diesen Toot hänge ich gleich noch meinen komprimierten Lebenslauf an.

Realize the following you are in control of the fun you have when you are computing.

The only way you can guarantee that is by running an Open Source Operating System on that device.

If you happen to be in a closed Source operating system with an open source kernel {Android} there are ways to dechain yourself fully

They will probably be hard or painful but they are worth the effort.

If it seems to be too hard, plan your next device to be one that is designed to run with an open source operating system especially if you are going to buy your next Android.

First check if your device is supported by an open source operating system, fully supported!, then you buy it.

Make sure that the grip of the closed Source operating system underlords on you is released Free yourself

(And its ableist culture will sooner make you the villain for criticising it rather than acknowledging the failing and fixing the status quo. https://ar.al/2024/06/23/fedora-has-been-shipping-with-a-broken-screen-reader-for-nine-years-but-the-real-problem-is-me/ There’s a reason I’m back on Mac after six years on Linux. As a developer, it was impacting my ability to make what I’m building accessible. And I reject the unspoken premise that the source being open is somehow more important than the human right to universal access. Ethical technology requires more than just the “four freedoms” https://web.archive.org/web/20250418090901/https://ind.ie/ethical-design/ This is why inclusivity is a core Small Technology principle. https://small-tech.org/about/#small-technology)

@CadeJohnson @labellaragassa @fireborn That's a pretty tone-deaf reply, don't you think?

Labelling items on UI is not hard, but requires some discipline, and I wish more #opensource devs heard that more often.

I didn't label buttons in my apps until Android Studio told me I should. All some people need is a nudge, which is exactly what the OP is doing.

In 2005, Google paid $50 million to a software engineer called Andy Rubin, together with his team for a dying phone company giving away their FREE software.

Critics called it the "dumbest acquisition ever."
Today, that "dumb decision" is worth over $500 BILLION and is the reason why you are holding a less expensive but quality phone that is not an iPhone

Here's how Google saw the future before anyone else: and built the world's most used mobile device - Android phones

It all started with a tiny company called Android Inc.

Founded by 4 top tech entrepreneurs and business executives, Led by Andy Rubin.

Their goal?
To create smarter mobile devices
that are more aware of their owner's location and preferences, and an operating system that is completely free & open-source.

Any manufacturer could use, modify, or make it their own. But at this time, this seemed insane.

Because the company was struggling financially:

No products.
No revenue.
Just 4 guys and a dream.
To make it worse, the mobile phone industry was locked down tight by software giants:

• Nokia controlled its software
• Microsoft charged for Windows Mobile
• BlackBerry kept everything in-house

The idea of giving away a free Mobile phone Operating system (OS) was Laughable.

But Google, just as they saw the future of YouTube, saw something much bigger - Mobile phones would become the primary way people access the internet. With that google search engine will be irresistible

They weren't buying software.
They were buying the future of computing.

To protect their search engine business, they pushed to buy

This was the real threat:
If Microsoft or Nokia dominated mobile, they could:
• Block Google Search
• Push their own services
• Control the future of digital advertising

Google couldn't let that happen.

So they made their boldest move yet. Buy out the entire company, not just the product.

But they didn't just buy Android. They kept it open-source.
Why?
This was genius because they wanted:
• To give Phone makers free software,
• help Android developers get a free platform
• Help Users have more choices.

Result? Companies like Samsung, Huawei, HTC can distribute their Android devices freely

Everyone won...

Except Google's competitors. 😁
Blackberry
Nokia
Microsoft
Because within 10 years of Android's free open-source purchase, their company was gone.

wondering why you have not seen them again today.
Cos' everyone prefers an open-source free phone where you don't have to pay for anything after the initial purchase.

That's the masterstroke
In 2008, the first Android phone was launched;

The HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1)

It wasn't pretty.
It wasn't smooth.

But it was the beginning of a revolution...
Because Google did something unprecedented:
They gave manufacturers complete freedom:

• Change the interface
• Add new features
• Customize everything
This sparked an explosion of innovation...

Companies like Samsung, HTC, LG, and others could now compete with Apple without building an OS from scratch.

The result?

Android powers 71% of all smartphones worldwide.

That's billions of devices running Google's software.
But here's what makes this truly genius:

In everything Google builds, it always finds a way to monetize.

How does Google make money from its $50 million investment?

The truth is, Google doesn't make money from Android directly.
Instead, they make money from:
• Play Store fees
• Google Search
• Digital advertising
• User data
The platform is free, but the ecosystem is priceless.

This $50M bet didn't just transform mobile.
It transformed how we:
• Connect
• Shop
• Work
• Live

The lesson?
Sometimes the biggest opportunities look like the riskiest bets.
Google's Android gamble teaches us:
The best investments aren't about what something is today.
They're about what something could become tomorrow.
And sometimes, giving away value is the best way to capture it.

An excellent post from a blind screen reader user, on how bad accessibility is on Linux.

https://fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/i-want-to-love-linux-it-doesnt-love-me-back-post-1-built-for-control-but-not-for-people/

It is a fucking shame. And it is pure neglect, as pointed out in the blog post.

Hot take: a new version of open source software should not release before accessibility is fixed. It should be treated as a show stopper, because it actually is for people with a disability.

Since GrapheneOS has problems to get the sources of Android 16, I call on all Android OEMs to help the project. The developers behind GrapheneOS are doing a great job and it would be a shame if they could no longer do this in the future.

The new and very visually appealing dialog that let's you create new files and folder. Across the top, you have an icon of a purple folder and text box to write in the name of the folder you are about to create. Across the bottom a rainbow array of folder icons with different colours and designs. It is pretty!

According to the openSUSE team the people were made perfectly aware of what they were circumventing; it was put in plain English.

What was not put in plain English is that because of the circumvention they were putting themselves in tremendous risk.

Consider taking two kg of Aurum four kg of Argentum jewelry putting them on your body and then just walking on the street wearing only those jewels, in a street where there are only ladrónes. You're just begging for trouble

For me reading this post took about 10 minutes since I not only read but I also processed and checked references and I tooted about it immediately

It is quite sobering to read something this horrific happening in an Open Source project of this magnitude of volume

This is something you would expect in closed source not open source; it's like a shower with 0° degrees Celsius of water flowing over you 0° in the depth of the coldest Siberian winter

This is where the depth of the deception became clear

The review of this component was also what led us to the discovery of the deepin-feature-enable whitelisting bypass, since we installed the full Deepin desktop environment for the first time in a long time, which triggered the “license agreement” dialog described above. After finding out about this, we decided that it was time to reassess the overall topic of Deepin in openSUSE based on our long-standing experiences.

2024-08-29: deepin-api-proxy: D-Bus Service

After a longer time of standstill regarding Deepin reviews, a request for the addition of deepin-api-proxy arrived. This package greeted us with over two dozen D-Bus configuration files. Again, upstream’s description of what the component is supposed to do was very terse. From looking at the implementation we deduced that the proxy component seems to be related to the renaming of interfaces described in the previous section.

We found a design flaw in the proxy’s design which allowed a local root exploit. You can find the details in a dedicated blog post we published about this not too long ago.

It is noteworthy that the communication with upstream proved very difficult during the coordinated disclosure process we started for this finding. We did not get timely responses, which nearly led us to a one-sided publication of the report, until upstream finally expressed their wish to follow coordinated disclosure at the very last moment.

The Deepin frightmare

Excerpt from linked site
>>
After reviewing the main D-Bus service, we could not help ourselves but call it a security nightmare. The service methods were not only unauthenticated and thus accessible to all users in the system, but the D-Bus configuration file also allowed anybody to own the D-Bus service path on the system bus, which could lead to impersonation of the daemon. Among other issues, the D-Bus service allowed anybody in the system to create arbitrary new UNIX groups, add arbitrary users to arbitrary groups, set arbitrary users’ Samba passwords or overwrite almost any file on the system by invoking mkfs on them as root, leading to data loss and denial-of-service. The daemon did contain some Polkit authentication code, but it was all found in unused code paths; to top it all off, this code used the deprecated UnixProcess Polkit subject in an unsafe way, which would make it vulnerable to race conditions allowing authentication bypass, if it had been used.

We learn our whole life
I'm going to start with my beloved Vim.
Bram Molenaar has setup Vim in such a way, that you may use, only use what you need, learn by accessing and processing the necessary commands in the Local help file & work in that manner for even years.

Every time you need to learn something else in Vim, you just go in that same local help file.
Vim help was set up in such a beautiful way, you can learn as you go...
It's quite clear that there will be a lot of TIL when using Vim

Complex systems like the Fediverse are also designed in that way you learn just what you need and then when you stumble upon something, you go on help
It's a beautiful thing when help and program are tuned towards each other

Did you know my friends started CryptPad, and I was one of the first paying customers way back in 2017?

I couldn't be more proud of their amazing work, and to witness their iconic journey.

It was my friend @ansuz who built a lot of CryptPad, that suggested I apply to NLnet.

And then Pixelfed became the first fediverse project funded by NLnet in 2019.

You love to see it.

There's an instance where I have one account, didn't know that there was drama because I keep my nose down.
At a certain point I saw that there is drama regarding some moderator and then I saw another instance where they simply the federated my instance because the leadership don't like what that moderator has done from their perspective

I've read the perspective of the moderator

The stories differ 180°

#community #activitypub #federation #opensource #socialmedia

Is the #Fediverse really open for #freedom?

In the last weeks, I noticed more & more messages from different instances/admins about moderation, banning and de-federations. Initially, people told the Fediverse is more open, not blocking and deleting content compared to other social medias. However, I think it shifted to the opposite where a single instance admin decides for the whole user base (which might not even be aware of it).
