Snikket: F-Droid security update
Last week, Snikket Android users who installed the Snikket app via F-Droid
started receiving a warning that it contained a
security vulnerability. This wasn’t entirely accurate, as the problem wasn’t
with the Snikket app itself but specifically F-Droid’s own build of the app
that was using an outdated version of the WebRTC library.
Like many communication apps, Snikket uses WebRTC for audio and video calls.

I use Firefox as my preferred web browser both on PCs and my phone. One extension is always installed: uBlock Origin. The web is so much nicer with all the ads and tracking removed. But today I also retried an extension that will probably join the “must install” list: DarkReader. Especially when I’m browsing the web on my phone in the early morning, I don’t like to be blinded by white websites. Since March DarkReader has finally an option to detect if a website already has a dark theme and only apply it’s color chan … ⌘ Read more

Ah git-bug! Ive chatted with the creator when he was working on the graphql parts. Its working with git objects directly sorta like how git-repo does code reviews. Its a pretty neat idea for storing data along side the branches. I believe they don’t add a disconnected branch to avoid data getting corrupted by merging branches or something like that.
@prologic@twtxt.net I’m sure Monroe would like to know about them.
@eaplmx@twtxt.net I didn’t like the original click wheel. I think the first mini wheel was the better of them

How to Build a Restreaming Server with a Raspberry Pi

it uses the queries you define for add/del/set/keys. which corrispond to something like INSERT INTO <table> (key, value) VALUES ($key, $value), DELETE ..., or UPDATE ...
the commands are issued by using the maddycli but not the running maddy daemon.

the best way to locate in source is anything that implements the MutableTable interface… https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy/blob/master/framework/module/table.go#L38

How to Fix and Debug Docker Containers Like a Superhero
While containers help developers rapidly build and run cross-platform applications, creating error-free apps remains a constant challenge. And while it’s not always obvious how container errors occur, this mystery is even harder for newer developers to unravel. Figuring out how to debug Docker containers can seem daunting.

@mckinley@twtxt.net We need to make something like computer time or something like that so people using a computer can say like lets have a chat thursday at 7:00 and no timezone things.
@ocdtrekkie@twtxt.net That is cool that there is no tpic. Its not like people on these open platforms have to use linux or some free and open os. Anyone can use whatever they want to. Yarn is just a web ui for twtxt and the os does not matter. I can’t say on for long time at midnight and I left before you started.
