@besendorf
> #FDroid is an App Store that does not allow developers to sign their own apps

Why lie though? Developers can always sign their own #FLOSS verified #reproducible built apps, we host almost 1000 of those.

Many developers choose not to submit to #Google, hence no matter if they sign or not, it does not matter if you download via Github, Obtainium or Accrescent, their apps won't be installable anyway.

If the #keepandroidopen site does not make this clear, please say so.

Testing Fountain Pen Inks

Question: has anyone done extensive testing on any fountain pen inks?

I don’t mean the standard Mountain of Ink style, sample card, writing sample, etc. visual comparisons. (I’d like to call this subjective measurement, but chromatographic measurements aren’t subjective if done in a controlled manner.)

I am thinking more objective testing: viscosity, density, flow rate @ a given line width, etc.

I was thinking about this type of testing tonight, and it seems to me that there are a lot of factors that would need to be controlled: temperature, air pressure / barometric pressure, nib consistency, friction (aka heat), etc. Given what I was thinking this could be an interesting experiment, if someone wanted to undertake controlling all the variables, and implementing the controls necessary for consistent results.

And we check #limitations the future holds due to the imprecise way of natural language, e.g., "give me the analytics for this week?" Did you mean "from today until last week"?

Or how data workloads need to be #deterministic and #reproducible to backfill faulty data, but AI agents aren't that.

From #ContainerDays London to Barcelona: big thanks to the #DevOps BCN #Meetup for having me!

I revisited my talk on moving beyond imperative #Docker builds toward #Declarative, #Reproducible and #Secure #OCI #Containers with #Nix:
Hermetic, network-isolated builds, clearer dependency graphs, better layer reuse across images, and a stronger supply-chain story (#SBOM + #SLSA provenance).

#ContainerDays London was great!
Thank you for the interesting talks and inspiring exchange.

I will give my talk "Beyond #Docker Builds: #Declarative, #Reproducible and #Secure #OCI #Containers with #Nix" once again next week, on February 19th at the #DevOps #Meetup in Barcelona.
