I'm trying to connect Gnome Online Accounts to my Nextcloud server running at home via a Wireguard VPN. I'm using a self-signed TLS cert since I obviously can't get a CA cert for a made-up Wireguard TLD.
Gnome Online Accounts, unfortunately, refuses to connect to a server using self-signed certs and I can't find a way around it. This may be a bug, and if so, I'll file a report. The cert works fine in the browser and the nextcloud client.
No, this is all new to me. I've discovered that I can create my own CA. That means that I won't have to manage the key using PKI one every client. (Not that there will be many of those, but still.)
In a nutshell, aside from the warranty disclaimer:
- You have to retain the copyright notice and license in any source distribution. - You don't get to claim you wrote the original. ("The origin must not be misrepresented".) - You don't get to claim I wrote your additions. ("Altered versions must be clearly marked as such.").
This license has less restrictions than the Artistic one, which as others have pointed out doesn't disallow forking either.
In particular, the Artistic license at least stipulates that someone make a token effort to contribute their changes back to the original which this license does not.
I find these issues weird, I compare regenerative braking to engine braking, there are differences, but if you're used to the latter, the former is fairly easy to get used to.
One-pedal driving involves using the accelerator to brake as well as to go. Chinese officials are concerned about the technology's safety implications.
I don't think one-pedal driving is a good idea, but I also don't think the way we currently do two (or three) pedals is a good idea either.
Switching between pedals that do opposite things always comes at a risk of getting confused or physically blocked and pressing down on the wrong pedal.
And pedals are risky anyway due to the risk of something sliding underneath the pedal.
We could put all the controls in the steering bar ... twist throttle and brake levers, maybe.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued an order late Friday pausing the requirement to distribute full SNAP payments until an appeals court rules on whether to issue a more lasting pause.
Sweden has helped fund 400 drones for Ukraine's strike campaign on Russian oil refineries
Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal said on Nov. 6 that #Sweden has helped #Ukraine produce 400 long-range #drones, which are then often used to hit targets such as #oil #refineries deep inside #Russia.
Ukraine and Sweden are strengthening cooperation in the development of innovative #defense #technologies,
Denys Shmyhal's announcement comes as Ukraine aims to strike deeper into Russian territory in an attempt to disrupt its logistics and grind down its war machine from a distance.
Full sanctions exemption: #US allows Hungary to buy Russian energy following Orban–Trump talks in Washington

#AI #soldiers: How #deepfakes are manipulating Ukraine’s mobilization narrative
#Fake profiles on TikTok, X, and other platforms are spreading #AI-generated videos subtitled in multiple languages. The clips, viewed millions of times, depict alleged "forced mobilization" of 22- and 23-year-old #Ukrainian men supposedly being sent to the front.
Experts say the campaign marks a new stage in the #Kremlin's #information #warfare — one designed to erode trust in #Ukraine's leadership, sow panic, and weaken Western support.

Just to experiment I exported this artwork as a WebP in the “best” lossy quality setting at the same resolution as a JPEG XL and a JPEG both at 85 quality, and HOLY FUCKING SHIT WEBP RUINED IT.
Like, not even minor nitpicky things, the colors are significantly distorted (like, why did it even do that? It was authored in 8-bit sRGB, and all have embedded color profiles). And what it does to high-color-contrast, non-cardinally-aligned edges is even worse than JPEG. Further proving my point that using a video codec (which are notoriously evil to animation) for still images that are often not camera images (which WebP admittedly does okay with) is the worst technical decision that could possibly be made.
Is there something like Glaze that can be overlaid onto an image such that it will become a basilisk if ever converted to a WebP?
VPN company CyberGhost just sent Cloudflare a bogus DMCA takedown demand, claiming that our article about their last bogus copyright takedown demand, somehow violates their copyright. I’m not sure …

“We’re done allowing rapists to walk free,” an outraged protester told 2 News Oklahoma. “We’re done seeing the people in charge allowing this to happen.”
Remember kids: "Passive income" is a term used to describe wealth handed out to people by society, through our economic system, without doing any work.
Many people receiving a "passive income" are intergenerationally wealthy, as opposed to the working class and long-term unemployed people who receive social welfare payments.
Because of this, they're referred to as passive income /earners/ not passive income /recipients/. Conversely, we have social welfare /recipients/ not social welfare /earners/.
As a society, we've decided that Joe Heir and Jane Heiress deserve their wealth, even if they've never done a full day's work in their lives. And there are no income tests for this wealth, so they get these handouts even if they don't need them.
Conversely, we've collectively decided that welfare recipients are bludgers. Welfare payments are also vigorously means tested. The burden of proof is entirely on you to claim and prove you deserve these payments.
The one exception to this social welfare rule is when handouts go to the rich, whether that's in the form of subsidies or tax breaks.
Because there's one law for the rich, and another for the poor.
What do you call people who managed to save money all their working lives and are now drawing down those funds (plus interest) for a well-deserved retirement? I mean, other than “lucky.””
Tell #Democracy Minister: its time to scrap First Past the Post
First Past The Post undermines our politics.
It leaves most of us with representatives not of our choosing - depriving us of a say in how our lives are governed. It delivers chaos and instability in our #politics.
The government has set out to address the crisis of trust in politics. #Westminster’s broken voting system stands in the way of that mission
Our election results are more distorted than ever, leaving millions of people without a voice.
