This is a superb dive into the XZ hack, the history of open source, the challenges of relying on volunteers, encryption, and a bunch more. An hour absolutely worth your time.

Pirate Praveen 普拉文What worked at the end was,
1. Build each locally with .deb files from sid
2. Replace the sid .deb files one by one from the newly built debs.
3. Repeat this process until you can fully build everything with your local debs.
I hope to provide caddy security fixes via trixie-backports this way as the traditional approach to backporting patches is not working for golang packages.
Finally I managed to rebuild #caddy web server for trixie-backports. It missed an update in bookworm and recently was updated in sid.
In addition to the number of build dependencies that needs rebuils, the biggest challenge was circular build dependencies that needs to be bootstrapped.
google-cloud google-grpc google-api and google-genproto all needs to go together as none it can be built on trixie alone.
It took a few weeks of continuous effort to finally succeed. #debian #FreeSoftware
jpl99Is open source licensing meaningful anymore, or are we just left with public domain?
What are the legal distinctions between GPL, Apache, and MIT when AI companies and LLMs ignore standard copyright boundaries? There's no license text that will stop the automated, industrial-scale extraction machine.

I second DeltaChat. Works on Android, IPhone and Desktop. It has a low barrier of entry and provides proper backups.
Carmen-LisandretteCan someone recommend a good #freesoftware E2EE IM app that will run on my laptop without me needing a smartphone? The family otherwise uses WhatsApp and they want to keep in touch.
