Day three of Trump's term and the largest push for surveillance capitalism yet has been made: Project Stargate will be a $500.000.000.000 (500 billion USD) data center used for running a multitude of AIs with the purpose of spying on you.
Larry Ellison, the world's second richest man and CEO of Oracle, one of the main partners of Stargate, said:
“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on [...]. We're using A.I. to monitor the video.”

This is who is in power now. This is the vision they have.
After some time the brackwater between glass and knob gets really annoying. Some models of lids already bring some openings already in their design. If not…
#deskhop now uses a different serial number for each board. This allows to use the same notebook on two different desks each installed with its own deskhop and different keyboards.
#udev now can distinguish between the two keyboard/mouse combinations connected to deskhop. This allow for different setting/keymappings on the two different keyboards.
I added my solution to the original issue.
Due to the discussion around #deepseek and the #privacy aspects of using it I read about #KeystrokeDynamics.
Imagine - each time you fill a form on the some website you're actually leaving fingerprints on it by the way you type. If the site reads your keyboard through a websocket connection and thereby knows the rhythm you have clicking your single keys, the time you hold down each key and the pauses you make thinking, this is a biometric that might even reveal the mood you're in.
There's tons of literature out there about various aspects of using keystroke dynamics.
I'm using a #deskhop* to connect my keyboard and mouse to my notebook and #Librem5 mobile phone to use both seamless like a multi-monitor setup.
Reading about a failed indiegogo campaign to build a usb device changing the metrics of typing in a way to cloak keystroke dynamics I had the idea that this maybe could be an extension to deskhops functionality.
Sending and receiving large or confidential files via #email is difficult: the size often is not accepted by the recipient and confidential content might be transported unencrypted and via any number of relaying smtp servers.
I used psitransfer for #filesharing for a while, but it doesn't offer an upload protection for multiple users and it doesn't support handing out upload tickets to people that I'd like to invite to send me a file.
I'm now testing lufi on a #yunohost. #lufi offers the integration into an existing user database (like in the case of yunohost openldap) and it allows users to invite third parties to send them files using a time limited upload ticket.

Minirelease for Feber (a simple, self-hostable, portable group calendar): 1.3.0 \o/
Although #feber does not support multiple calendars per installation, it can easily be installed multiple times under a single domain (simply copy the installation files into multiple subdirectories), and this release is all about officially supporting this by isolating the (php) sessions across different calendars (which previously was not the case). Many thanks to Thom for communicating this usecase and issue to me!
Also included in this release are some tweaks and use of gender neutral language ("account" rather than "user") for the french translations (thank you @CyberSaloperie!), which I'd like to extend to the other locales (and internal translation keys etc.) when I finally get to it. :)

Clear sky, no #clouds.
Copying the image from one #Librem5 to another #Librem5.
Stars shining, just me my notebook and two usb connections.
#Freedom, #sovereignty and no other peoples computers.
It's time to #upgrade my #yunohost to version 12. I started drafting and testing a plan on how to get through it without any unwelcome surprises.
If you're interested in upgrading your own yunohost: you're welcome to look at my draft (yes, I didn't write it with sharing in mind 
).
Any feed back is welcome! When I'll done I'll publish the final version as a reply to this post.

Did anyone know about this federated "flea market" / craigslist type classified software? It's called flohmarkt. I came across it by accident today. Looks simple to setup and install, also.
Code is here:

Upgraded my testing #yunohost vm successfully to #bookworm.
My production #yunohost is in some places modified and actively being used for #email, #matrix and some other things by friends+family.
To get an estimated of the time needed to upgrade it and find any issues beforehand I setup a testing board and copied the installation over to test the upgrade.

I just tagged version 0.2.0 of OLS, my experimental local #location server. It's a bit over-configurable and under-documented, but may be of interest to technical users who want to play with location services on Linux. Get it from #Codeberg.

got the second #robocall of my life today. This did not used to be a thing in Portugal.
Time to install #PhoshAntispam by @kop316
I hate that I will need to use it. Because it is a symptom of things getting shittier with autonomated calls in PT.
But I am glad that #PhoshAntispam exists.
Thanks for making it @kop316
For example, you can now “purchase” human blood and organs, someone to have your baby or stand in line for you or hold a public parking space, a person to comfort you in your grief, and the right to kill an endangered animal. The list grows longer each day

- most tabs now feature icons
- visually reworked item tags

#flohmarkt community is celebrating remotely their next release tonight @ 19 CET.
Let's grab a beer together, have fun and talk about everything #fediverse related.
Chris Vogel shared 9 months ago#flohmarkt needs an #accessibility review to leave beta phase.
Is there someone in the #fediverse who can help on #a11y?
Boosts 
Chris Vogel shared 9 months ago#flohmarkt 0.4.0 has been released.
it's primarily a bugfixing release and some nice visual improvements.
the most impactful thing is probably the fact that authorized_fetch now works with #mastodon
see the full changelog at https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/releases/tag/0.4.0
thanks to @bignose @Tealk @midzer and all the various translators for their contributions :)
