With the nice hint, that audiobooks you buy there, seem to be DRM-free ❤️

I just tested it, and bought "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" as audiobook, download it, own it.

It sounds strange but it's nice when you own the stuff you bought. 👍

Oh, this one sounds interesting:

Not an audio bookworm, but an audible alternative sounds interesting. Maybe it's useful for other people.

Well, this was fun: https://github.com/ossf/tac/issues/101

"What is "a healthy number" of maintainers?"

The disconnect between what people "feel would be right" and what reality delivers :)

There is even a podcast episode about it: https://opensourcesecurity.io/2022/05/29/episode-325-is-one-open-source-maintainer-enough/

Can recommend :)

Mhm, with GDPR we won an important battle regarding privacy in Europe, but the overall war on privacy seems to be lost more and more these days. The current plans towards mass surveillance by the European Union is just the tip. The reform of E-commerce was successfully avoided. Exchange of biometric data is moving forward, Europol's data hoard that was supposed to be deleted was legalised after the fact. No big fines for big tech after 3 years.

This is not good.

And I figured out why, turns out, someone thought it was a good idea, to have different DNS lookup behaviour through out the same codebase, based on configuration settings.

At least it's solved now. Thanks to mailinglists, that have a search function.

Flathub might be called a distribution, but not a Linux distribution because it doesn't distribute Linux. Just stuff that runs on Linux.

TIL: postfix lmtp only takes FQDNs. While smtpd has no problem with handling hostnames that are extended by ndots and search domains. 😐

Still not sure how I find that.
