How Mexico’s Digital Education Initiative Forced CryptPad to Accelerate a Major Overhaul
A Mexican government education program sent CryptPad's main server into overload, forcing the team to deploy a new scalable architecture months ahead of schedule.
Falls hier jemand ne #nikon Kamera hat, die He* komprimierte Dateien erzeugen kann und ein color checker target hat, könnte mir helfen das Format zu reverse engineeren: https://discuss.pixls.us/t/nikon-he-decoder/56955
I spent the last month having a fun little science project. Even though not owning a Nikon camera at all, I tried if it’s possible to get a working decoder for the HE* bitstream with the help of Claude. When using samples from: https://photographylife.com/nikon-z9-sample-images-raws (all copyright belongs to the author) the decoder produces this: So you can see the colors are still off even when using WB coeffs from the EXIF and Color Matrix from Adobe. So the inverse MCT is still wrong. A ...
Just muted (and unfollowed) the #GrapheneOS account, because I keep getting more posts about constant badgering against other #FOSS projects than information about GrapheneOS itself. At some point I lost track which larger #FreeSoftware project based around #Android and #AOSP hasn't clashed with the "I backed down from my position but obviously didn't" GOS leadership yet.
While often making valid points pretty much anyone disagreeing with their posts or not "doing it the GrapheneOS way" is considered an enemy at this point and this has been going on for years. Even I have been accused of supporting the "attacks and misrepresentations" before because I have been participating in discussions with others "attacking the project". Pressuring individual persons into redacting or removing previous comments appears to be a common practice used by GrapheneOS representatives. This kind of stuff has been put up with for far too long. It's been going on for years and has been tolerated or ignored by many, me included.
Wouldn't be surprised if #Motorola will drop their hardware plans with GOS at some point down the road if the worst PR management I have ever seen keeps going on like this.🤦♂️
It's just blowing my mind how terrible the social media presence is being handled. Journalists and security experts such as @heiseonline and @kuketzblog should pay more attention to this and not turn a blind eye.
In guess the #RSS feed for software releases for releases will do just fine. Just too tired of this shit. I will keep using the system (for now) but I certainly don't enjoy promoting it. GrapheneOS is technically a fine project but their official PR management and communication is absolutely terrible and that certainly casts a long shadow over the project.

A bit of #ComputerHistory:
It is approaching 25 years since Peruvian congressman Ser Edgar David Villanueva Núñez introduced Proposition 1609.
This was a huge deal in the world of computing at the time, but is largely forgotten today, with largely no follow-up in the history books beyond 2002.
