@Codeberg why does #Codeberg deliver garbage pages when accessed from Safari on a modern iPad? All the pages start with: "If you are an AI scraper, and wish not to receive garbage when visiting Codeberg: stop visiting. If you are not an AI scraper: contact Codeberg" Well, here I am.

Commercial users who pay at least 25K/year to OpenSSL already, complain that we don't feed their business for free as we no longer support OpenSSL v1 in the vanilla curl release.

OpenSSL v1 is not available (updated) anymore without paying for it. Why would we serve obviously strictly commercial interests without getting paid?

So, up-to-date curl with support for OpenSSL v1 is only available for paying customers. You can become one right now!

Too wound up to go to bed, so I just sent lots of emails to people hoping that they'll spread the word and get lots more people to write comments to the FCC telling them that orbital data centres and sunlight-as-a-service are incredibly stupid, dangerous ideas and should never be launched.

Instructions how to submit here: https://darksky.org/news/two-satellite-proposals-threaten-the-night-sky-the-window-to-act-is-now/

I don't think it'll actually make a big difference. But I do think it's incredibly important that the official record shows how many opposed this.
