Software Freedom ConservancyToday we join various other FOSS advocacy groups like @fsfe @fdroidorg @eff in addressing an open letter to Google about #keepandroidopen We need open ecosystems and the move to "sideload" software has set a bad paradigm for having control over our devices. You can read more about it here:

SFC signs open letter to Keep Android Open
Today Software Freedom Conservancy joins many other organizations in signing an open letter to Google asking that Android continue to allow people to install what they want on their phones. Recent policy changes within Google will restrict installation options by requiring developers to register their legal names, adding new gatekeeping that can arbitrarily deny app installation or delete existing apps from your phone.
Glowing Cat of the Nuclear Wastelands@davx5app @fdroidorg A small suggestion: We should not be using their propaganda term. We're not "side-loading" anything, we're installing programs on our own hardware. Calling it side loading plays into their narrative that we're doing something we shouldn't with our devices. It makes our battle harder, because the average non-techy user will hear side-loading and think it's something subversive and ignore us as we try to convince them this is a bad thing for Google to block.
Just found out there is a Borland theme for VSCode... and it is just as eye-blistering as I remember. Anyone else use Borland Turbo C/Pascal? Also, there's a Turbo Vision editor on github if you want to go full retro. https://github.com/magiblot/tvision

DNS-PERSIST-01: A New Model for DNS-based Challenge Validation
https://letsencrypt.org/2026/02/18/dns-persist-01.html
> Instead of publishing a new challenge record for each issuance, you publish a standing authorization in the form of a TXT record that identifies both the CA and the specific ACME account you authorize to issue for this domain.
DNS-PERSIST-01: A New Model for DNS-based Challenge Validation
When you request a certificate from Let’s Encrypt, our servers validate that you control the hostnames in that certificate using ACME challenges. For subscribers who need wildcard certificates or who prefer not to expose infrastructure to the public Internet, the DNS-01 challenge type has long been the only choice. DNS-01 works well. It is widely supported and battle-tested, but it comes with operational costs: DNS propagation delays, recurring DNS updates at renewal time, and automation that often requires distributing DNS credentials throughout your infrastructure.
mrdoornbosContinuing my fun with the Enigma machine: I wrote two emulators for a Commodore 64, one in BASIC and the other in Assembly (Turbo Macro Pro, coded on a C64).
The BASIC version does about 3 characters per second. The assembly version can encrypt/decrypt roughly 1500 characters per second.
