Log4Shell

TIL about the breakdown of the Log4Shell shared library.

• Date of occurence
• 24 November 2K21
• location of programmer at home with his son logging into minecraft (which failed)
• this vulnerability had existed unnoticed since 2013
• it was privately disclosed to the Apache Software Foundation { Log4j is a project}
• discloser: Chen Zhaojun of Alibaba Cloud's infosec team
• date 24 November 2021
• exploit severety MAXIMUM
• It's simple to execute
• estimation of affect ration of 50% of the internet (many hundreds of millions of devices)
• vulnerability abuses Log4j allowing requests to arbitrary LDAP and JNDI servers
• that allows attackers to
• execute arbitrary Java code on server / client
• leak sensitive data

Innerworkings

• Log4j
• open-source logging framework
• enables programmers to log data within their applications
• can include user input
• is used ubiquitously in Java programs especially enterprise software
• Originally written in 2001 by Ceki Gülcü
• part of Apache Logging Services
• project of the Apache Software Foundation### Tom Kellermann, a member of President Obama's Commission on Cyber Security
• Apache is "one of the giant supports of a bridge which facilitates the connective tissue between the worlds of applications and computer environments

Affected commercial services

• Amazon Web Services {AWS}
• Cloudflare
• iCloud {Apple infrastructure}
• Minecraft: {Java}
• Steam {multi platform gaming}
• Tencent QQ### Wiz and EY sate that the vulnerability affected 93% of enterprise cloud environments

The Log4Shell vulnerability's disclosure received strong reactions from cybersecurity experts.

Cybersecurity company Tenable stated

• exploit is "the single biggest, most critical vulnerability ever## Ars Technica
• arguably the most severe vulnerability ever

Quote
Log4j is foundational software. This 20+ year-old Java logging library quietly powers system events in applications worldwide, like user logins and calculation results. But this small piece of software had quietly become a dependency in thousands of projects across the Java ecosystem.

Opinion & reaction

• I'm blown away by the events leading to the tornadoes & typhoons that followed shortly after in the OpenSource programming World
• Fifty percent of software was affected with 93% of enterprise software sub section
• Log4Shell is a critical infrastructure level shared library
• nearly everyone using java depends on it's functional I/O

Analysis

• why do most Open Source software users only contact programmers when bugs are detected?
• why do they (almost) never get compliments when it goes well?
• programmers burn out after a while and leave projects abandoned
• when you were a kid, your mom / dad / family complimented you on good results
• programmers need the same
• otherwise they will leave the projects

Open Source programming is a thankless job

• Zero cash influx
• no thank you's
• complaints even when software has long matured to stable levels
• entitled users
• threats to be Doxxed or worse

Be nice to Open Source programmers

• If you have following contact here on the Fediverse with one say thank you
• don't expect replies (esp when hundreds to thousands of followers are indicated)
• realize you either can't code programs of that caliber or don't want to invest the time
• I am lucky to have conversational contact ont the FediVerse with critical infrastructure programmers
• I always say thank you, because I know how hard it is to write software of that magnitude
• when I review their software, I am critical, but formulate my words and sentences in a manner I would want to read them if places were switched
• I am thankful first, thus send them Universal Love and Universal Energy
• My toot history stand for these statements (on my other Fediverse accounts)

Don't be a dick!

Be nice to programmers

Give them Love

Say I just came up with something really cool that's a library and can be useful to folks. In pre-AI times, I'd slap a GPL on it and release it as an open repo.

Now, today, how can I make it available in a way that won't get instantly sucked into training data?

Secondly (and more importantly), how can I make sure people bring their questions to me, so the project can evolve? (As opposed to them asking LLMs to hallucinate/slopcode quick tweaks for them?)

Die Bedeutung der Gemeinschaft in Zeiten der digitalen Welt!

Gemeinschaft war von Anfang an das, was uns Menschen stark gemacht hat. Seit wir um das Feuer saßen, suchten wir Nähe, Teilhabe und Geborgenheit. Wir erzählten Geschichten, lachten miteinander, teilten, was wir hatten. Da entstand Vertrauen und das tiefe Wissen, dass man nie allein ist. Gemeinschaft war immer wie ein wärmendes Licht in der Dunkelheit, ein Ort, an dem man sich sicher und verstanden fühlte.

My interaction with the wonderful program curl is typical of my interaction with all Open Source programs which I use.

• I first type in the command after which I sent a CR LF {carriage return line feed}. I watch the output
• I type curl --help
• I type man curl

A swiss army knife for downloading has extensive manpages

• Im referred to man libcurl(3) {in MX Linux}
• I type man libcurl
• BecauseI did not install libcurl-devel on this small installation the manpage for libcurl(3) is not local
• I read the manpage (online)
• I distill what I need from curl and implement it

I know the basics of curl for my own use

• this method can be used with all commands
• it's a logical and systematic method
• it will work until the end of Terra

Unfortunately, my experiment with CachyOS is over, even though I gave the system a fair chance this time.

First of all, I really liked CachyOS. The speed is phenomenal, and everything would have been perfect except for one tiny detail that is essential for me: Localsend didn't work.

And I couldn't figure out why. I was able to install the program easily, and my computer recognized all the devices around it. Except for the devices around my computer with CachyOS on it... and it was also not possible to send files from the computer to the recognized devices or mark them as favorites. Not even a firewall was activated or anything else in the network settings as usual.

With all the other distributions I usually use—Fedora, Debian, OpenSUSE, Zorin OS, FreeBSD, even a “real” Arch—there are no problems at all. And since I'm constantly sending files and photos back and forth between my smartphone and computers and don't want to be constantly plugging and unplugging cables, CachyOS is not for my everyday use.

I find that very unfortunate. But it's usually little things like this that make you less happy with a distribution or Linux in general than others might be. 😧

I’ve been running GrapheneOS since February 3rd. After the initial setup, the first thing I noticed was a strange sense of "emptiness" — not because something was missing, but because the digital noise was gone.

Key Technical Takeaways:

- Hardware: Running this on a Pixel 10. The synergy between the hardware and a de-bloated OS is impressive.
- Compatibility: I opted for Sandboxed Google Play services. Everything works perfectly: banking apps are stable, and NFC payments function without a hitch.
- Performance: Noticeably better battery life and snappier UI response compared to stock.

The "Freedom" Factor
For me, GrapheneOS isn't just for the "anonymous" crowd; it's for enthusiasts who value agency. It’s about owning your device rather than the device owning you. Under the hood, you’re free from the hidden trackers that treat your behavior as a commodity.

Still testing, but so far, the sense of control is worth the switch.

Android dead on 01 September 2026 (09-01-2K26)

Unless you've been living under a rock at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, you know that google wants to close the Android Platform up, after having made sure that many hundreds of millions (actually more than (5 * 10↑ 9)) Androids are running globally.

Google wants to close up Android tighter that a father isolated his promiscuous daughter in the dark ages...

• Some bullets points

• Android development spawned in 2003 by Android, Inc. ** Android Inc fetches the Open Source Linux kernel and studies to use it for it's upcoming smart phone platform in 2003** Google gobbled them up in 2005

Android was not google's idea!

Android was not google's idea!

Android was not google's idea!

• Android beta is released November 5, 2007

• Android stable v1.0 is released September 23, 2008

• Google made sure that in the years that followed they subtly started to make certain things hard to do, which were easy and open in the beginning

• Way in the beginning, those of you who had an android then remember how easy it was to install software on your phone

• When you install anything now that's Open Source playstore tells you that it's unsafe.
  ** Even when you open a PO3 / IMAP account on your android, google shows you the perfectly fine server certificate and tells you it's not good, forcing you to click advanced then yes to use an email account NOT sanctioned by google, in their gmail android program
  ** gmail android is a POS in comparison with the awsome MUTT OpenSource mail client

• installing KDE_Connect a magnificent program suite which makes your android communicate properly with any Linux or BSD server / client gives problems too and is even SABOTAGED by android comms & battery protocol
  * the battery protocol constantly kills KDE_Connect making transfer and control a PITA
  ** the comms protocol drops packets of KDE_Connect making it look like the program fails horribly
  *** install KDE_Connect on an Open Source Android distro and you will see that the program suite not only works perfectly, it transfers files as fast as your phones tranceiver will pump them to your target phone or computer, running and Open Source Operating System

The beginning of the END

• Google starts with forcing programmers to submit a government issued ID for just writing software, released on the app store
• no Open Source programmer is crazy enough to do so, so you now need other means like FDroid & similar to install them, or go straight to their Codeberg or github pages to fetch them, making phone illiterates losing access to their beloved Open Source android programs
• Google annouces that it will block non sanctioned (Open Source) programs from installing after undisclosed ammount of time
• Google announces the date when it willhard block* you, the *propriator of your Androids to install software **on your OWN FUCKING COMPUTER!!!*

WTF google! have you gone microSLOP?

We the people can stop Alphabet from this bullshit

• Those of us who live in the EU especially have a tremendous stopping power, to the BULLYING of Alphabet regardless of which EU country you live in

WHY?

• Google has a market of hundreds of millions of high android spending users there

• Loosing the EU all together will be a tremendous financial blow to google
  ** Rember that apple bowed to EU will and put USBC connectors on their hardware way before the deadline was put
  *** apple did that globally, because that makes logistical sense
  *** apple bowed to the EU because of financial greed, not the fine

• Alphabet is in a similar boat when google is stopped there to close the platform it's logistically easier to just remove the measures globally on their android platform

Rest of Terra

• The rest of us not stated in the below doc should do the following
• call our governments to do something by calling Ambassador / consul of US to give letter with grievances even if your country has less than 750.000 inhabitants, the protest matters, find your representatives and do it
• find alternative OS to run on your current and future androids
• DITCH android if and when the lockdown comes** that means we the people gave up and lost** android humanity is than fiucked** no one of us wants to see that

FIGHT for your Android rights. The computer is your private posession!

Sending Universal Love and Universal Energy to all who read this doc

Wow and flutter from tapes long past

I know a man who decades ago, wanted to get a GUI {graphical user interface} on an Open Source Operating System where the coders and maintainers didn't see the need.
He primarily wanted that just for himself.**

The man has neither written nor compiled one line of programming code in his life

• He first learned how to do basic coding in an interpreted language then learned the basics in C** he went to a physical library first** He has read a lot of /man/ pages in the process
• He then compiled the sources for X himself and installed it
• Next he learned how to compile a WM of his choosing and installed it
• Then he compiled X userland programs of his choosing
• After that he compiled other software that needed X windows.

It took him more than a year and a half to get so far!

He not only proofed to himself that determination and planning can get you to any achievement, he learned advanced programming and computing skills in the process. He also had a great Guru (you may guess who)

His skills became so good, that he could even write a FAQ for everyone who wants to run an OS but can't configure a X interface because they can't comprehend the (excellent, technical) documentation.

Ihr könnt z.B. folgendes schreiben:

Google hat angekündigt, dass ab September 2026 unabhängige Entwickler keine Apps mehr für Android bereitstellen können, wenn sie nicht:

* eine Gebühr an Google zahlen
* den Nutzungsbedingungen von Google zustimmen
* einen amtlichen Ausweis vorlegen
* den Nachweis über den privaten Signaturschlüssel des Entwicklers hochladen
* eine Liste aller aktuellen und zukünftigen App-Kennungen bereitstellen

Damit wird vor allem "entgoogleten" Plattformen und Apps die Teilhabe an Android als marktdominierendem Produkt erschwert, wenn nicht sogar unmöglich gemacht.

Spenden und Mitarbeit in Open-Source-Projekten!

Spenden und Mitarbeit in Open-Source-Projekten sind nicht nur „wichtig“, sie sind existenzielle Notwendigkeiten für das digitale Ökosystem, von dem wir alle abhängen.

Punkt 1. Open Source ist die unsichtbare Infrastruktur der digitalen Welt.

Fast alles, was online funktioniert, läuft auf Open-Source-Software, von Webservern (Apache, Nginx, Caddy) über Programmiersprachen (Python, JavaScript) bis zu Betriebssystemen wie (Linux). Diese Infrastruktur wird oft als „Gemeingut“ betrachtet, aber sie erhält sich nicht von selbst.

OK I need to seriously figure out a better way to stay organized on both projects and daily/weekly/monthly tasks at work.

• I have my trusty daily notes notebook that combines what I know I need to do that day (and track notes and other small things) but I'm not having much luck staying on top of the work stuff - especially work projects that take me away for a week or so then I have time to jump into it.

• I think I'm slowly navigating to implementing a servicedesk-like ticketing system where I can input and track this.

• What has worked for others?

  • If a ticketing system should I just opt for my $WORK one or implement my own? Self-hosted?
    
  • I even struggle with keeping this in a Spreadsheet because I think it is so easy to ignore it.
    

Kthnxbai.

I’ve started experimenting with AnySoftKeyboard as an alternative to Gboard.
So far, the experience is solid: Catalan support was a priority for me, and it integrates well with my phone’s physical keyboard.
My main motivation is privacy, specifically reducing dependence on Google’s ecosystem.
For those with experience:
• Any privacy pitfalls I should be aware of?
• Best configuration practices?
• Is it worth restricting network access entirely?

I’m aiming for a practical balance between usability and minimizing data exposure.

Thanks in advance!!!

Local-Only File Encryption with JavaScript.

I've been exploring the #WebCryptoAPI and I'm impressed!

When combined with the #FileSystemAPI, it offers a seemingly secure way to #encrypt and #store files directly on your device. Think #localstorage, but with #encryption!

I know #webapps can have #security vulnerabilities since the code is served over the web, so I've #OpenSourced my demo! You can check it out, and it should even work if #selfhosted on #GitHubPages.

Wir sind #neuhier im #Fediverse

Für uns ist unverständlich, dass Bayern weiterhin auf eine Ausstattung der Behörden-Arbeitsplätze mit #Microsoft setzt.

As usual, I made another program which was written in the Go programming language and it’s called Kagami, where it’s inspired from the main character with the same name, Kagami Hiiragi from an anime titled “Lucky Star”. The program itself lets you make your own customised Ubuntu-based ISOs and focus on vanilla experience with blocking snapd by default and more customisable.with JSON config that was written on examples.

The documentation for the program will be more available soon. Also, this program is licensed under GNU GPL v2.0 license and free for everyone. You can help me contribute for more improvement and feel free to contact me regarding this program. Thank you!

Spenden und Mitarbeit in Open-Source-Projekten!

Spenden und Mitarbeit in Open-Source-Projekten sind nicht nur „wichtig“, sie sind existenzielle Notwendigkeiten für das digitale Ökosystem, von dem wir alle abhängen.

Punkt 1. Open Source ist die unsichtbare Infrastruktur der digitalen Welt.

Fast alles, was online funktioniert, läuft auf Open-Source-Software, von Webservern (Apache, Nginx, Caddy) über Programmiersprachen (Python, JavaScript) bis zu Betriebssystemen wie (Linux). Diese Infrastruktur wird oft als „Gemeingut“ betrachtet, aber sie erhält sich nicht von selbst. Ohne Ressourcen verfällt sie, Sicherheitslücken bleiben offen, Projekte stagnieren, Entwickler/innen verschwinden.

#IT #OpenSource #news

This morning I got an email from a sender that identified itself as an AI agent.

So - plus for being upfront about it, but... please don't do this.

I get that a lot of people are really, really, really into AI tools. OK. I have my opinions on them, you have yours. I have major qualms about them, some people think they're the best thing ever.

OK. Fine. But when your use of these things spills over into the rest of the world, it's no longer a question of my opinion vs. your opinion, my decisions vs. your decisions.

At this point, things have moved from each person doing their own thing to inflicting your use of AI onto me without my consent.

Before this spirals out of control, which I can see happening *very* quickly, I'd like for us to agree on a piece of netiquette:

- it is rude in the extreme to set loose an AI agent to reach out to people who have not consented to interact with these things.

- it is rude to have an AI agent submit pull requests that human maintainers have to review.

- it is rude to have an AI agent autonomously interact with humans in any way when they have not consented to take part in whatever experiment you are running.

- it is unacceptable to have an AI agent autonomously interact with humans without identifying the person or organization behind the agent. If you're not willing to unmask and have a person reach out to you with their thoughts on this, then don't have an AI agent reach out to me.

Stuff like this really sours me on technology right now. If I didn't have a family and responsibilities, I'd be seriously considering how I could go live off the grid somewhere without having to interact with this stuff.

Again: I'm not demanding that other people not use AI/LLMs, etc. But when your use spills out into my having to have interactions with an agent's output, you need to reconsider. Your ability to spew things out into the universe puts an unwanted burden on other humans who have not consented to this.

Project #introduction

Introducing DITS — a Developer Issue Tracking System built exclusively for solo developers. 🛠️

Tired of Jira-shaped tools designed for teams of 50? Every feature in those tools assumes collaboration — approvals, assignments, team dashboards — and you pay the complexity tax even when you're the only user. DITS strips all of that away.

What makes it different:

→ Zero-friction capture — create issues from the web app, CLI, IDE, or mobile with minimal keystrokes
→ Keyboard-first design — every action has a shortcut, with a Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl+K) as the primary interface
→ Sub-100ms interactions — optimized for flow state, not loading spinners
→ Deep Git integration — auto-creates branches from issues, links PRs and commits bidirectionally, closes issues on merge
→ Smart Views — Inbox, Today, Upcoming, and Logbook keep your work organized without manual effort
→ Projects vs. Areas — a first-class distinction between finite work (ship v2.0) and ongoing responsibilities (maintenance, learning)
→ Your data, your rules — full export and portability, always

Tech stack: TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, Redis, GraphQL (primary) + REST, with native desktop and mobile apps planned.

Currently in early Phase 1 — building out the core foundation. More updates as things take shape.

The project is not #openSource, but in the future, when it's more developed, It probably will be.

"Open" LLM models are almost never Open Source.

They are "Open Weights." This means the company allows you to run the model, but you have no right to see how it was made or what data it was trained on.

We need to stop letting companies redefine "Open Source" to mean "available for download." Words have meanings.

If a company claims they are open source but plans to "someday" release the code, or hides the training data, they are a poser. This is "Open Washing." They are co-opting the term to earn the community's goodwill for marketing without actually respecting the four freedoms.

My primary laptop is still on Fedora 42, so I need to take a bit and refresh it. I usually do a full backup and fresh install rather than upgrades.

Debating whether to go to #Fedora 44 once it hits beta, try #Arch or #CachyOS, or move to #Debian Trixie on this machine. I'd lean toward Debian right now, but I'd have to start compiling #niri on my own since it's not available in Debian Trixie, nor does the project supply Debian packages.

Thank you for your reaction. We both love the choice we have in the flavour of Vim we can run.

When I started with BBS debugging and management many, many decades ago, I felt blessed that with the Waffle BBS port to dos a port of vi was also included. It did not help me on the Amiga 500 I {still} have, but of course there was a vi implementation on the Amiga too. I did not know that Bram (had written / was writing VIM already).
The POTS phone lines were horrific in my country (SR / SA) so vi was the only usuable editor to work on the BBS back and front end, since I only had a 2400BPS modem on that machine.
In the beginning I mostly used `:i` entered my text in config files and <ESC> as fast as possible to make sure crappy characters did not get into my files, then did `:wq` to exit

When I later learned about Bram Molenaar's awsome creation of VIM I was hooked.
IMHO everyone should learn VIM / vi basic editing since vi will always be installed on a Open Source OS.

I can understand why you love neoVIM. What's important is that you have choice and a smooth workflow covering decades

Have fun!

Hallo #Mastodon

Wir sind #neuhier im #Fediverse
und wir setzen uns für die Nutzung von #OpenSource-Software in #Bayern ein.

Für uns ist unverständlich, dass Bayern weiterhin auf eine Ausstattung der Behörden-Arbeitsplätze mit #Microsoft setzt.
Dadurch würde die technische Abhängigkeit Bayerns von #US #BigTech noch weiter verstärkt und Aussagen zur #digitalen #Souveränität blieben ein Lippenbekenntnis.

Wir freuen uns über jede Unterschrift unter unsere #Petition

That's good for you. $EMACS** is very powerful. The wonderful choice we have in the Open Source world makes all tastes toward tools good

For me vim.motif & vim.athena rock. I got hooked on Vim when I need it to work on noisy POTS phone lines using non MNP modems. The ability to switch between input and read mode made that work bearable

** Replace $EMACS with any favorite editor of your choosing

Diese ganze Microsoft-Milliarden-Kiste aus Bayern wird mit jeder Umdrehung bizzarer.

Extrem gut recherchierter Artikel von Golem dazu: https://www.golem.de/news/digitale-souveraenitaet-in-bayern-noch-mehr-geld-fuer-microsoft-2602-205215.html

"...haben sich die Kosten für den Microsoft-Support in nur fünf Jahren um rund 900 Prozent erhöht."

Finanzminister: "Seit den 1960er Jahren nutzen wir, die staatliche und die kommunale Verwaltung, Microsoft-Produkte."

Dass das US-Unternehmen erst im April 1975 gegründet wurde, ist dem Minister dabei wohl entgangen."

Project #introduction

Introducing DITS — a Developer Issue Tracking System built exclusively for solo developers. 🛠️

Tired of Jira-shaped tools designed for teams of 50? Every feature in those tools assumes collaboration — approvals, assignments, team dashboards — and you pay the complexity tax even when you're the only user. DITS strips all of that away.

What makes it different:

→ Zero-friction capture — create issues from the web app, CLI, IDE, or mobile with minimal keystrokes
→ Keyboard-first design — every action has a shortcut, with a Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl+K) as the primary interface
→ Sub-100ms interactions — optimized for flow state, not loading spinners
→ Deep Git integration — auto-creates branches from issues, links PRs and commits bidirectionally, closes issues on merge
→ Smart Views — Inbox, Today, Upcoming, and Logbook keep your work organized without manual effort
→ Projects vs. Areas — a first-class distinction between finite work (ship v2.0) and ongoing responsibilities (maintenance, learning)
→ Your data, your rules — full export and portability, always

Tech stack: TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, Redis, GraphQL (primary) + REST, with native desktop and mobile apps planned.

Currently in early Phase 1 — building out the core foundation. More updates as things take shape.

The project is not #openSource, but in the future, when it's more developed, It probably will be.

#progromming #devtools #issuetracker #buildinpublic #indiedev #typescript #react #solodev

A person just “stole” Triton, my native omg.lol client, and removed all the references from the README file where I ask people to reference the original project and give me credit for the app.

They didn’t fork it, so that people don’t realize it’s a fork of another project.

They also changed their README file to point to their own zip file, which I’m not downloading, and neither should you. I don’t know what’s in it.

They even created a website, hosted on GitHub Pages, for it, with a link to their “builds.”

That pisses me off. Really. I spent years building the app. I put a lot of my personal time into building it for me and for the community, only for someone to steal it as theirs, publish builds, and wipe my name from it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Help me with a Star on the original project to keep it higher in search results. Thanks!

That’s a loss — not because maintainers of free software owe anyone commitments, but because the unstated status quo presumes this support. Maintainers will consciously understand that no such obligation exists, but still feel a presure to provide indefinite and unsustainable support. And that dynamic contributes to an extractive open source ecosystem.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a new role (20hr/w) in developer/community relations, accessibility, fediverse and opensource strategy. I have 30+ years experience in F/OSS, in various domains (SW/HW/...).
and a good handle on how things work together, across teams and projects.
I am located in Regensburg, DE but have been and prefer working remotely (Europe is best due to timezones). CV: http://dlittle.de/DeeAnnLittle_CV.pdf

Remnux 8: Noua versiune a distribuției Linux pentru analiza malware și securitate digitală

#Linux #OpenSource

Immich got really good just in the last little while. Some random geek notes/thoughts, after several hours tinkering (non-geeks, stop reading here):

As to sizing: a Pi 5 with 4GB (better yet, 8 to be safe) of RAM - and the docker container gets its own fast SSD, for storage - could do it. Forget using a Pi 4. Great for sharing albums to family and friends privately; they're password protected.

The Good News:

- I'm playing with Immich on a Raspberry Pi 5 in docker, really liking it. It took a long time to import my photos - several hours to do 10,000 photos.

- It's very nice to access from Android or iPadOS, as there are Immach apps for both.

- It does a local AI facial recognition. I'm giving names to the faces - what a trip down memory lane! That's a rather astounding feature for such an open source app: it's awesome to see pictures which involved certain individuals, all grouped. There's been a lot of controversy around facial scanning by apps lately (the data being silently sent back to the "mothership"). With Immich, the data stays local - doesn't go back to any mothership. No geek contests or says otherwise (and I would hear about it).

- The Rasberry Pi 5 on the backend can keep up nicely - to me being the one user pretty much. Its little fan whirs away, while I do the editing, etc in the app, silently in the other room on the iPad.

- I can publish web-accessible Albums online easily.

- I set up a reverse proxy on a VPS for remote access.

The Bad news:

- I had to strip out the videos, before an import. The videos just brutally crushed that Pi to the floor.

- I just tried uploading all ~300 recent photos from my iPad to Immich. About 100 failed. Many are Jpgs, should have no problem. It does have a protection against duplicates - calculates hashes. Some uploads certainly failed (from the Immich #iPadOS app), which shouldn't have! Just saying: copyparty uploads with ~100% wire speed and *does not fail*. But it doesn't have the photo management goodness which Immich has. Copyparty will do a basic slideshow of a folder of photos. Although it annoys me to say this, I think I'll have to use Copyparty to exfil the photos out of the #iPad's (walled-garden) "Photo Library", then as a second, regrettable hop, use immich-cli (the go-based docker container) to do an import to Immich. I just did a test, comparing copyparty's "up2k" uploader (just used from a web browser like Safari of Firefox), and the Immich app in iPad OS, and there's no comparison. Copyparty absolutely rips Immich away, totally destroying it for bulk upload. I just uploaded over wifi at a steady, sustained 80MB/sec with Copyparty.

SPARC & Alpha CPU Ports Still Seeing Activity In 2026 With Linux 7.0 - Phoronix

｢ New Linux kernel patches for Sun/Oracle SPARC and DEC Alpha are increasingly rare but for the most part still being maintained by the upstream Linux kernel. Merged this week already for Linux 7.0 are some maintenance work on those architectures plus the Motorola m68k that continues to routinely see new kernel activity too ｣

I am not advising you to use only everything curl online to get to know curl.

I often work on airgapped servers (they only seen LAN segments) where the man pages of all commands are crucial to have locally.

Use the site as an **addition** to the manpages.

curl libcurl
curl is the Swiss Army Knife of fetching programs

curl follows the UNIX principle, it does one thing, and it does it very good & curl has been doing it for decades.

If you want to know everything that curl does there are Man Pages. The man pages are not only for curl but also for libcurl. You are referred to libcurl immediately on the first page of man curl

This means that you have to read man curl and man libcurl

To make that a bit easier everything curl was created. Go there and check in a convenient manner what {lib} curl can actually do and be blown away.

I've made my screens caps on mobile. Look how nice everything has been divided.
I will also include screen caps from the desktop
