The audit is true, but at least Jami didn't make up its own crypto lib, it uses standard already in use crypto stuff. To there's a huge difference there.

BTW, they are actually re-writing stuff... But yes, they need more recent audits...

Have you read it's github front page?

This is an experimental cryptographic network library. It has not been formally audited by an independent third party that specializes in cryptography or cryptanalysis. Use this library at your own risk.

BTW, if you look at its issues (including closed ones, which most probably aren't really closed) you'll find pretty interesting discussions about its crypto not being right. That said, I'm not sure what irungentoo brings to the picture...

At any rate, if you're looking for distributed messaging, I'd look into Jami. It also uses DHT and something similar to torrents mechanism. Jami is my only option so far for distributed messaging. There's also Briar, but I don't like it for regular messaging, particularly on phones (too much battery usage), neither its underlying technology, but if it's to your liking, then that's another option for distributing messaging.

What I post from lemmy.ml wouldn't be seen there if that were the case, but it's seen there, so that doesn't seem the case...

BTW. I've already joined... That said, I see the same posts missing. Of course that doesn't apply to one I made myself from lemmy.ml. There's also a bot one from 9 days ago, but the rest are at least 1 month old...

pending for subscription, we'll see, and while pending, still not syncing properly...

What is implied with alacritty not being customizable, what is then .config/alacritty/alacritty.toml meant for? That said, I'd argue kitty has hard coded what fonts can be used with it, though some might think this is good, but in my mind it's a limitation.

At any rate, this is a matter of taste. I use alacritty with screen. Some might argue kitty is better because of tabs supports, and if that's a thing for them, then that's fine...

At any rate, again, terminal emulators are a matter of taste...

You might want to set both configs off. Not just one, although one seems off by default, but better make sure both get off in librewolf.cfg...

[–] kixik@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

IT might be, but librelinux for example really removes all binary blobs, although there's some tooling around doing that, so new cases might be missed without human inspection, but they are careful about binary blobs... So from the whole spectrum of open source stuff, if you care about binary blobs, chances are better on the libre/free SW side.

Well this one is not false, :(

browser.search.serpEventTelemetry.enabled

Though this one is:

browser.search.serpEventTelemetryCategorization.enabled

So it seems not quite fully disabled... But telemetry is supposed to be off on librewolf...

Probably Guix, and GNU endorsed distributions. Binary blobs are not allowed on free/libre distributions, or not on their official repos. That said, most gnu + linux distributions don't care about those. Most will take care, if they get to realize it, about distribution licenses, so if something has some sort of legal issue to be distributed, that will get purged from its repos most probably...

[–] kixik@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

BTW, moved to iosevka myself, now my current preferred font for both, the console, and fixed fonts...

Many thanks for the suggestion @toastal@lemmy.ml

Is this also present on Librewolf? Or is it removed?

I don't like someone having remote control over what I'm using, and this seems to have some of it, according to Bug 1832791 - Add to AMRemoteSettings support for quarantinedDomains RemoteSettings entries.

If not removed completely, perhaps it can be a default config option on Librewolf, taking advantage on the opt-out made available through extensions.quarantinedDomains.enabled.

I don't know the implications on "security" by opting out, but for sure I don't want any of my chosen privacy extensions to be shut down for any specific site, even if it's not monitored by FF or whatever. Also, who decides what's insecure for which sites? Is there a Librewolf say about this "feature"?

More about it from Firefox 115 can silently remotely disable my extension on any site.

Edit:

Two issues were filed about this (already closed), Should allowing FF remote control over extensions (restricted ones) be disabled by default on Librewolf , and some work before v115, which are fixed on 115.0.1-2, through commit 2c561ca85dbf791d83da41ffab829afca8b19323, but not yet fixed on 115.0.1-1...

 
 

Every now and then I check on the communities, to see if a new one is created that might be of my interest.

Currently it's impossible for me to subscribe to anyone, once you get into the community, the button doesn't show up, just the legend saying subscribe, but it's useless.

I'm logged in, and it seems I can post...

Edit: It seems I can subscribe from the list of communities, out of the communities themselves... It's from withing that I can't subscribe.

Edit 2: A bug was filed already, 0.18 seems to have broken the "Subscribe" button. And a workaround of clicking on any conversation on the community makes the button show up again, within the conversation.

 

Edit: livetex-meta + livetex-metapost cover for most of the lost packages. livetex-metapost covers for texlive-binextra and afew extras...

Richard Stallman was right since the very beginning. Every warning, every prophecy realised. And, worst of all, he had the solution since the start. The problem is not Richard Stallman or the Free Software Foundation. The problem is us. The problem is that we didn’t listen.
