We had around 30掳C here during the past week. Even the geese had to find a nice place in the shades within the pond.

Pretty happy with my #sway setup now. #waybar and #sov give it a very clean, functional but pretty surface. #Linux #Debian #Wayland

Experimenting with #sway for a bit (https://src.jayvii.de/pub/dotfiles/file/sway/.config/sway/config.html). Feels a lot more mature (but obv less flashy) than #wayfire. And really snappy! If you have any tipps or suggestions, feel free to send them my way :) #Linux #wayland

So the solution to the (newest) #Mozilla #Firefox debacle is to use esoteric forks that may or may not be developed further, may or may not implement security patches in due time and may or may not be out of breath as well, once Mozilla drops dead?

What else could one do? use #Epiphany/#GNOME Web? Browser monoculture is at its peak...

Both #DuckDuckDuckGo as well as #Qwant seem to be full in on #AI powered summaries of search results. With every year, online search seems to slip more into #enshittification with #SEO madness and #AI generated content and searches.

Time to pick up other search engines like #MetaGer, #mojeek or #SearX

Genuine question: what threat model does the "app locking via screenlock" on many #Android apps like #Signal, #Nextcloud #Talk and many other apps follow?

I can hardly make up a scenario where some adversary gets their hands on my unlocked phone and then fails to unlock apps that are locked with the same password/pin as the lock screen itself.

Anyone with further insights? #security #privacy

Tinkering with #stagit, I am learning an awful lot about githooks that I never properly used before. This is really great!

More from my #stagit hacking (https://src.jayvii.de): Implemented a proper summary page for each repository as well as a nicer list for the "exports", i.e. archives produced by post-hooks. I am pretty happy with the results for now, I think.

Image description 1: Screenshot of the summary page of the "stagit-jayvii.de" repository showing an activity bar, short description and guidance on how to clone the repository.
Image description 2: Screenshot of the new exports page of the "stagit-jayvii.de" repository, showing a list of artifact files that have been automatically produced upon pushing to the repository. There are four files, two of which are archives. One is a full copy of source from the "main" branch, the other is a deploy-ready archive of stagit-jayvii.de. The remaining files are SHA256-sums of the archives.

My extension & adaptation quest of #stagit goes on next week! I implemented basic functionality that automate mosts common tasks a while back already. Implemented dynamic #CSS themes earlier this year and a more modern look in the past week (as well as a summary page for every repository). Next week, I want to bring the menu bar to a more modern design:
