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that was using an outdated version of the WebRTC library.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.
We’ve been working on finding a … ⌘ Read more

O gasoduto ibérico é um projecto cheio de buracos, mas todas as evidências continuam a ser ignoradas. Um desses buracos é que os planos existentes não passam a bitola do impacto ambiental, o que não faz o @govpt hesitar: se o ambiente não gosta do projecto, ignore-se o ambiente.

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

Over the past couple years I’ve done the advent of code to varying degrees. I thought I was going to do it again this year but decided to try something different. I’ve been calling what came together a“ December Adventure.”

Snikket: Notes on the F-Droid security warning
Snikket Android users who installed the app via F-Droid may receive a warning
from F-Droid telling them that the app has a vulnerability and that they
“recommend uninstalling immediately”. First of all - don’t panic! This is a
over-simplified generic warning that is scary, but the actual situation is
not quite so scary and has an explanation. Here goes…
