Any #android #foss calendar recommendations that go with #caldav?

I'm syncing from #Nextcloud and my main requirement for the android app is to handle timezones correctly.

Currently using #fossify but I don't see any option for timezones...

I would like to choose the timezone when setting up an event and also view the calendar from a chosen timezone. Basically the same features that I can use in Nextcloud on the web-browser.

Any recommendations?

My PR from June is in laravel-notification-channels/webpush 12.1.0. First thing I ever landed in that package.

The bug. Endpoints were stored in a varchar(500), then Microsoft WNS started handing out URLs longer than that, so inserts failed for anyone with Edge users.

I bumped the column to 1024 and that broke the unique index. MySQL has opinions about key prefix length. So I made it ASCII, endpoints are URLs and URLs are ASCII.

If you already run the package, republish the migrations and migrate. Fresh installs get the wider column on their own.

I opened it in June and stopped thinking about it. The release notes yesterday were a nice surprise 🎉

How I evaluate software/services in 2026:

• Big Tech involvement
• AI integration
• Surveillance/telemetry
• Jurisdiction? (including 14 Eyes alliance)
• Data transportability (can I export, migrate, integrate?)
• Funding model (who pays, what are their incentives?)
• Self-hostable
• Openness (source, protocols, governance)
• Community health (maintainer diversity, bus factor)
• Social policy alignment? (LGBTQIA+, political positions)
• License? (GPL preferred, OSI-approved accepted)

Software freedom is inherently political. I will not separate the tool from the hands that build it, the money that funds it, or the laws that govern it.

Some failures are disqualifying. Others are negotiable based on context. The framework is politically coherent, not a compromise.

Is there anything else you consider before committing to software or services?

Today, @Tutanota published a new blog post titled "Proton Mail vs Gmail: Which Is Best in 2026?". We generally don't pay attention to these biased marketing posts which end up always the same way ("neither, because we are the best"), but given the number of inaccuracies we found in it, we decided to take the time to comment it.

https://tuta.com/blog/protonmail-vs-gmail

First of all, the post doesn't differentiate security from privacy. Even if the two notions are intertwined, it's still two different concepts.

End-to-end encryption (E2EE) brings mainly privacy, that Gmail lacks heavily because it goes against Google's business model, but saying that having E2EE always brings you security is taking a shortcut. For example, most people are more exposed to email phishing than state actors' eavesdropping, and both Gmail and @protonprivacy are better at phishing detection than Tuta. We know it due to a simple fact: we recently launched a phishing simulation service (not launched publicly yet, still exploring with a few clients for now) 🙃

> Like Tuta Mail, Proton Mail has become a popular email provider for individuals and organizations who prioritize privacy and security.

This sentence tends to be understood as if Tuta preceded Proton in terms of market shares and technical standards. Also, from our experience, people tend to know Proton and not Tuta.

> [...] introducing an AI email writer defies the purpose of a private, secure email service such as Proton Mail

Even though we are against the current AI trend given its social and environmental impacts to keep it short, this sentence is also inaccurate. Scribe, Proton's writing assistant, can run locally on your own device:

https://proton.me/support/proton-scribe-writing-assistant#local-or-server.

Besides, it's an opt-in feature, it is not enabled by default.

> Users [of Proton] on the free email plan are limited to sending 150 emails daily.

Well, at least Proton gives a straight answer regarding the daily limit on a free account. From Tuta's FAQ (https://tuta.com/support/howto#email-limits):

> If you receive the following message in your Tuta account "It looks like you exceeded the number of allowed emails. Please try again later.", the anti-spam protection method has stopped your account temporarily from sending new emails. Please wait a day or two to send new emails again.

It seems there is no way to know if you are about to reach the limit before not being able to send emails for up to 2 days...

> With the free Proton Mail account, users get 1 GB of storage space.

We don't get it. It's listed in "Proton Mail downsides" whereas you also get 1 GB of storage with a free Tuta account... And with Proton, you can easily unlock 5 GB of storage with a free account...

> [...] Tuta Mail, has decided not to build a bridge for third-party desktop clients but has instead focused on developing its own native email desktop clients for Windows, Apple and Linux - and these work like a charm and are completely free.

This is part of the "Limited integrations" bullet point which is also part of the "Proton Mail downsides". That doesn't make any sense. Tuta is saying that Proton has limited integrations with third-party email clients and services (which is true), whereas Tuta has none... And regarding their "and these work like a charm" claim, sorry, but being a Tuta client since our creation in 2021, we have encountered numerous serious bugs. Like having sent emails ending up in both "Draft" and "Sent" folders with no way to know if the emails have actually been sent, the impossibility to change the language of the spell checker, getting a empty calendar because of a slow internet connection in a train whereas it is supposed to be offline-first, lost all our contact notes...

> Proton is a good choice if you’re looking for an end-to-end encrypted email provider, but it is not worth it if you compare it to Tuta Mail, the most secure quantum-proof email provider.

And there comes the inevitable conclusion that we all saw coming: "we are the best". It is the part that annoys us the most, because we are security practitioners, and we don't like false claims.

First, after 5 years of professional activity, and 10+ years with a personal account for our CEO, the amount of E2EE'd emails we have sent and received must represent roughly 1% of our exchanges (we use emails mostly for external communications). This is because Tuta made the choice to use a home-brewed implementation that only works between Tuta users. You like it or not, but the only standard for email encryption remains OpenPGP, which is annoying to use with the Tuta client. When we report security vulnerabilities to third-parties for example, we need to write and encrypt our emails in a separate text editor, encrypt them (we use @QubesOS Split GPG implementation to keep our private keys in a separate, offline, environment), and paste the result in the Tuta client...

Also, Tuta keeps talking about being an "quantum-proof email provider", but guess what? Thanks to RFC 9980, OpenPGP is quantum-proof too, meaning anyone using OpenPGP can benefit from it, including Proton:

https://proton.me/blog/introducing-post-quantum-encryption

Besides, it is a nice thing to have a strong encryption on the paper, but the implementation needs to be regularly checked for bugs and vulnerabilities. As far as we know, Tuta has never published any audit report, unlike Proton (which also has a bug bounty program: https://proton.me/security/bug-bounty).

When you do E2EE, you also need to make sure you are talking to the intended recipient, which means you need a way to verify their cryptographic public key. It turns out it took Tuta 7 years to implement it after the issue was raised to them: https://github.com/tutao/tutanota/issues/768. It means that Tuta could read all the E2EE'd exchanges on their platform without anyone noticing. Additionally, their current implementation saves the verified fingerprints locally and per-device. And given that bugs in the Tuta client regularly require to erase all local data and log back in, key verification remains mostly a gadget.

If you wonder how Proton does it: https://proton.me/support/address-verification, and https://proton.me/support/key-transparency.

To conclude, are we saying that Tuta is a bad choice? No, we will still recommend actors like Tuta which are not part of surveillance capitalism. Are we recommending Proton over Tuta? Not necessarily, it depends on multiple factors and your threat model. But we urge Tuta to improve their communication by sticking to the facts, and stop acting as if they were doing everything better than others. Because they are not.

Fair point indeed. So shall we file it under "rules are written in blood" and proceed to see the law adapting to this new world using those precedents?

In the 2000s the world needed to adapt to the reality of all that FOSS stuff being actually enforceable law and all and Linksys and AVM were the qualified and friendly precedents to advance the law back then.

Last time evolution to proper, sort-of stable and useful FOSS legislation took about 10 years.

I wonder what the equivalent of OpenWRT will be this time. At least that one's pretty useful, rite?

Did PieFed ‘steal code’ from Pylova? Let’s look at what happened

This is my first open source project, apart from tiny bits of code that no one ever paid any attention to. Maybe I don’t know how to do open source properly, maybe I made a mistake here. Let’s find out.

A few months ago, someone made a new fork of PieFed, which they called ‘Pylova‘. In the first few days of it’s existence the developers of the fork were very enthusiastic about it and did a lot of interesting and useful work.

I had a browse of what they’d done and saw something cool that I wanted PieFed to have too – some improvements to cross-posting functionality and two new themes. Thinking “we’re both open source projects here, it’s fine to copy code between AGPL open source projects, right?” I went ahead and did exactly that. I genuinely believed I was exercising the rights that the AGPL grants us.

Here is the cross-posting code I copied, by generating a .patch file from the pylova repo:

https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/commit/4020ca1688069adf74c682fc9ca89adfee09e4c9

See how it has quokkau in the top left? That’s the original author there. I guess that was embedded in the .patch somehow. I didn’t give it too much thought as it didn’t seem important at the time.

Then I copied the themes:

https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/commit/785b15fde4a439c8a92f16eea5c2ff166fe3b7a5

This time I copied the code using copy and paste, by selecting the text in the browser and pasting it into my IDE. Unlike the complicated code in the first batch, I really just wanted the entire contents of the two styles.css files and it seemed simpler to do it that way. Unlike the first batch, this didn’t put quokka as the author in the git repo. Thinking nothing of it, I deployed the code and got on with other things.

Time passes…

A week later a third party told me that the Pylova developer(s) were very unhappy that I had copied some code. Something about not giving proper attribution and that I stole code. I was very surprised and a bit confused. The header of the theme files I copied didn’t have any attribution/copyright/author statement (and still don’t) so there was no attribution statement to preserve.

Seeking to avoid any problems and angst I immediately removed that code from PieFed. Here are the commits where I did that:

Removed ‘allow cross-posting of images’: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/commit/fcac0f20b65a782c3fe73dd2b6fa985b8a2f152a

Removed quack and groovebox themes: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/commit/616375673795e0fa86fb79bd8ecfb2ff982e4b59

I copied code from an AGPL repository, into my AGPL repository, believing I was permitted to do so. The original files contained no attribution notices. When I learned that the author objected, I removed the code. I still believe that calling that “stealing” gives a very misleading impression of what happened.

Verdict?

Perhaps I was clumsy and ham-handed with my work in this situation? Perhaps I didn’t follow social conventions about how FOSS projects are supposed to work together? I hope my corrective action was enough. What do you think?

Regardless, I am sorry for any problems I caused for the Pylova project and will not be doing that again. I wish them well with their fork.

#FOSS #privacy

There might be a long game to #AI, #FOSS, and #personalcomputing .

Basically, #capitalism hates how FOSS has "leaked value", and how [home] PCs and local #compute has enabled value streams outside of corporate control.

The #cloud drive was the initial attempt to force the value back under oligopole control, on the hardware side, #socialmedia platforms were the "sugar" software. But even these two in combination failed to completely eradicate free open source and alternatives, as this fine #mastodon platform on the #fediverse proves.

Enter #AI, the perfect weapon. It offers #techbros both tools: A way to dangle the promise of not even needing people anymore to investors, together with a perfect excuse to kill off the foundation that allows people to grow #cyber skills independently of corporate control - the [home] PC - by driving prices for basic tech like storage and memory way past home budgets.

By making a personal computer impossibly expensive to build or own, the base for FOSS erodes quickly. If all available compute is only by cloud supplied services, then any and all development will be beholden to the platform owner.

If you look at it this way, AI makes good sense, but it's only the last nail in a coffin that's been building for a while; the death of personal computing, and the death of an important freedom.

#DuckDuckFedi, please tell me about your favourite open source project management tools.

I would be prepared to consider proprietary software if I can just buy a fucking license once and then run it on my own PC or server and never interact with the company again.

Absolutely no cloud-based services run by third parties.

Must-haves:

• It needs to run on Linux (either locally or on a server I control)
• Gantt charts
• To-do listing of some kind - Kanbans are fine, but other approaches work too.

It would also be nice to have the ability to assign tasks to multiple users. This can be by email or just within the program, but I need to be able to label tasks as assigned to different people.

I do not need that to be a live self-hosted service, although I don't mind hosting one if I have to. (Is this something Odoo does or am I misremembering?)

My main focus is production for publishing and gamedev, with teams of <10 people.

However, I also want to be able to use it for standard business management stuff.

Please give me strength for dealing with people, because I lack it.

People love to say that linux is about choice, but when people making their software don't make the choice THEY want, then it's evil🙃

And often there's like no self-reflection. There are tons of other alternative software to choose from, why be mad that this one particular thing wasn't created to fit your preferences? All this time spent seething and being mad could be spent on much more productive things, like contributing to your favourite desktop/app. Software tribalism is genuinely cringe.

I'm firm believer that, for the average user, #GNOME is unusable without extensions.

It's extensions what make GNOME good against its shocking decisions in design and usability.

It's suffering from what I call "overshooting". Their main concep is soo prioritized, everything else is eliminated.

Talking about extensions... https://medium.com/p/410c24c08068

Can this Community please stop Ad-Hominem?

Worse than the code chaos nowadays is the attitude.

If you have to use terms like „slop-slingers“ then this is a problem.

„Pyschological stability“ is one of the most important rules in Software teams.

The language and tone has changed in the #FOSS community. And this attitude I hate even more than chaotic code.

Because chaotic code can be eventually cleaned up.

But a fucked up community mentality is lost forever.

In quite an aggressive bit of annoyance of my (fully functional) @Kobo Elipsa mostly collecting dust due to the #enshitification of the Kobo Firmware (requiring users to be logged in; working around that might put your data at risk of getting wiped at the next firmware update) ...

I took the plunge today and ordered a @pine64eu PineNote. At least that is a device which is properly hackable. Yes, I'm fully aware that the user experience will not be like a fully finished product. But that's perfectly fine - simply because it is hackable.

Simply a massive "F*** ***, #Kobo!" from me.

https://pine64.org/devices/pinenote/

If there are anyone who really wants a fully working Kobo Elipsa 2E in good condition, reach out and we'll agree on a price for it. I have the original box for it as well. The hardware is great, it's the firmware which is really annoying me and I don't have the patience to hack on a completely new firmware for it.

Drobna aktualizacja mojej listy Curated. Zestawienie zostało rozbudowane o nowe narzędzia wspierające architekturę zero trust oraz cyfrowy minimalizm.

Zmiany i nowości:

1. Notatki i organizacja: Na listę wraca Obsidian z ważnym zastrzeżeniem. Zalecam używać go wyłącznie bez dostępu do internetu oraz z włączoną izolacją Storage Scopes w systemie GrapheneOS. Dodano również w pełni otwarty notatnik Quillpad.
2. Odtwarzacze i multimedia: Dołączono klasycznego klienta NewPipe oraz odtwarzacz Auxio, który idealnie sprawdza się przy intencjonalnym budowaniu lokalnej bazy muzycznej offline.
3. Nowa sekcja Pobieranie: Wydzielono osobną kategorię dla narzędzi pozyskujących pliki. Znalazły się tam Seal oraz YTDLnis bazujące na otwartych bibliotekach.

Pełna i zaktualizowana lista sprawdzonych aplikacji znajduje się pod adresem:

Nachdem mir fehlerhafte Molly-Backups Ende April alle Signal-Chats zerschossen hatten, war ich erst mal zurück bei der offiziellen Signal-App. Aus Frust, aber auch, weil "original" erst mal sicherer klingt. Auch wenn das nicht unbedingt so ist ... 🤷‍♂️

Seit heute bin ich aber wieder bei Molly. Endlich wieder Push mit ntfy statt FCM (ja, auch mit microG bleibt es Googles Infrastruktur) oder einer dauerhaft offenen WebSocket-Verbindung, die den Akku dahinschmelzen lässt 🔋

Ausserdem bin ich seit gestern auch auf Matrix (tchncs.de) mit FluffyChat. Gefällt mir bisher richtig gut. Jetzt müssten nur noch mehr bzw. überhaupt Leute aus meinem Umfeld dort sein 😄
Dafür hat sich über Matrix schon ein toller neuer Kontakt ergeben 🤗

Der Weg zu mehr digitaler Unabhängigkeit bleibt spannend ✌️

The developers of Funda and Rabobank seem to suddenly block alternative mobile OS's, like @e_mydata and @GrapheneOS

They're likely doing this through using the strictest device attestation settings in Google's Play Integrity API.

Funda is the largest Dutch housing platform in the country (like Zillow), and Rabobank is the 2nd largest bank in the #TheNetherlands.

This is why we need alternatives within the mobile ecosystem.
