Happy 6 year (and 1 day) anniversary to one of the most unhinged posts I’ve ever made: the HTML5 accelerator card
Catacomb 1.7.0 finally switches the default virtual keyboard to wvkbd, removing the dependency on the unmaintained Squeekboard.
Big thanks to the wvkbd maintainers for being so helpful with all my patches and suggestions.
Moved our git web server from cgit to stagit to reduce load on the server caused by crawlers, as it only uses static files.
https://git.dillo-browser.org/dillo/
Roughly 99.9% of requests are bots fetching commits and files over and over again at a rate of 50 req/s despite our robots.txt excluding any crawler. Stagit only exposes a small number of files and commits so they are not reachable to bots.
Sadly, many anti-bot protections rely on JS or fingerprinting which come with their own set of problems.
📣This is your reminder that the fight against #ChatControl is still NOT over yet📣
Last month the negotiations for ChatControl 2.0 failed. Thanks to your support #ChatControl 2.0 and #masssurveillance don't happen🥳
However, the battle is still NOT over yet as the threat remains to keep ChatControl 1.0 as a permanent legislation beyond April 2028😡
Negotiations for this are planned to continue in November which is why we at Tuta will continue our fight ✊

today's contender: dependency that's defined on standard output of that dependency
postmarketOS recently changed its name to "Nura", a reference to Sardinian stone structures that have endured for thousands of years. Pretty nifty.
Are you a postmarketOS/Nura user? How does it compare to Ubuntu Touch or even Android? And did you run into any issues during installation?
This is a long shot, but: does anyone have access to a Supermicro H11DST-B *version 2.x* motherboard?
We (@hswaw) suspect that the only important difference with 1.x is a larger NOR flash for the firmware. If so, a little hot air action would allow an upgrade to Zen 2 CPUs, and get big perf/power-efficiency gains on a budget.
Boosts much appreciated!
My age verification? I remember when GitHub had multiple nines of uptime.

And it comes packed with new stuff.
Among other cool things, a new and improved remote desktop system, which is more performant comes with an exclusivity mode and shared clipboard; more calendars and keyboards for more cultures and languages; and better accessibility and usability features.
