I still enjoy Kodi and LibreELEC as my multimedia center at home. Sadly two of the services I really would like to use from within Kodi are not easily available. The most wanted add-on would be one making The Internet Archive available, and it has not been working for many years. The second most wanted add-on is one using the Invidious privacy enhanced Youtube frontent. A plugin for this has been partly working, but not been kept up to date in the Kodi add-on repository, and its upstream seem to have given it up in April this year, when the git repository was closed. A few days ago I got tired of this sad state of affairs and decided to have a go at improving the Invidious add-on. As Google has already attacked the Invidious concept, so it need all the support if can get. My small contribution here is to improve the service status on Kodi.

Three of Red Hat's rivals are taking on Red Hat Enterprise Linux with their new Open Enterprise Linux source code repository. Here's why this is a big deal.
A new group has formed this week known as the Open Enterprise Linux Association (OpenELA) and it’s taking direct aim at IBM‘s Red Hat business unit.
OpenELA was formed by a group of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) software clone vendors including CIQ, Oracle and SUSE. The clones are not happy and they’re now joining forces to do something about their dissatisfaction.
For the last several months, there has been significant disruption in the Linux open source software world, with enterprise Linux vendor Red Hat changing some of its terms, making it somewhat more difficult for others to simply clone and replicate RHEL. With the new OpenELA organization, the goal is for the clone vendors to come together in common cause to help each other in various ways to build RHEL clones.
Responding to Red Hat’s recent changes to Linux source availability, Suse, Oracle, and CIQ have partnered to form a trade association to encourage the development of Linux distributions compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
The companies on August 10 announced their intent to form the Open Enterprise Linux Association, or OpenELA. CIQ, Oracle, and Suse are collaborating to deliver source code, tools, and systems through the organization. “With OpenELA, CIQ, Oracle, and Suse join forces with the open source community to ensure a stable and resilient future for both upstream and downstream communities to leverage Enterprise Linux,” said CIQ CEO Gregory Kurtzer in a prepared statement.

Just got back from our first in person flock since 2019 and it was amazing. I thought I’d share my journey and thoughts from it here in longer form.
I did do some prep work the previous week in that I tried to make sure as best as I could that infrastructure and releng stuff was stable and wouldn’t need any interventions from me, which mostly worked out in the end, with only some releng work (starting mass signing of f40 in prep for branching this coming week) and some troubles with the matrix/irc bridge (which I can’t do much about aside from letting people know).

David Graeber's book Debt: The First 5000 Years takes a fascinating look at obligations between people and communities in many different cultures.
One of the most colourful stories is in Chapter 6, under the title Games with Sex and Death
She waits for an opportune moment and slips off at night to an enemy village, where she asks for sanctuary. This is always possible: all villages have their traditional enemies. Neither would an enemy village refuse a woman who came to them in such a situation. They would immediately declare her "wife of the village," who all men living there would then be obliged to protect.When a whole group of Albanian women were trafficked to DebConf19 and seated with former Debian leader Chris Lamb for the dinner, why did nobody else object or express jealousy?
Graeber's book goes on, explaining how young men acquire wives in communal organizations.
It’s now been a whole month since I left Canonical and started working as an independent!
This has been quite the month, both professionally and personally!
In no particular order, this included, setting up a new business, dealing with a somewhat last minute datacenter move (thankfully just one floor down), doing some initial sponsored work, helping out with a LXD fork, selling a house and caring for a sick cat (now all back to normal).Given everything that’s been happening, I thought I’d use the opportunity to write down some details on the most relevant things I’ve been doing and what to expect moving forward.
Canonical has released Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS. With this update, Canonical has released a new ISO image so if you perform a clean install, you'll have all the latest updates installed straight away.

Elephant Robotics has launched its most advanced 6 DoF robot arm so far with the myCobot Pro 600 equipped with a Raspberry Pi 4 SBC, offering a maximum 600mm working range and support for up to 2kg payloads. We’ve covered Elephant Robotics’ myCobot robotic arms based on Raspberry Pi 4, ESP32, Jetson Nano, or Arduino previously, even reviewed the myCobot 280 Pi using both Python and visual programming, and the new Raspberry Pi 4-based myCobot Pro 600 provides about the same features but its much larger design enables it to be used on larger areas and handles heavier objects.
I really like Noscript, and I use it everywhere I can. But I am a bit baffled by the "hidden" settings, and the fact it can make life a bit more difficult for ordinary users, even nerds if they don't really suspect that there are options that can't be changed through the UI. I guess the solution would be to expose this, including the relevant explanation and rationale for the default state, so the users can make the right decision.
In my case, it was a matter of temporarily allowing WebGL, before toggling the option back after I've done watching the videos. Hopefully, you will find this tutorial useful. I will keep on playing with Noscript, as seemingly there's always another layer of optimization that can be introduced into the everyday browsing workflow. Well, we're done, see ya.

In this modern age of hacks, scams, and identity theft, it's always a good thing to help those you collaborate with to know that the document they've received is actually from you. Or maybe you simply need to send a document to someone and you want to be certain they can trust the document and the sender.
That's why tools like LibreOffice include the ability to add a digital signature. Once you've added a digital signature to a document, a banner will appear, clearly indicating the document has been signed and even allowing the user to view the signature.

A couple of weeks ago I had to undergo surgery, because one of my kidneys malfunctioned. Everything went well and I’m on my way to recovery. Luckily the most recent local heat wave was over just shortly after I got home, which made being stuck at home a little easier (not sure yet when I’ll be allowed to do sports again, I miss my climbing gym…).
At first I did not have that much energy to do computer stuff, but after a week or so I was able to sit in front of the screen for short amounts of time and I started to get into writing Rust code again.
I grew up thinking typewriter was the longest English word one could type on the first row of letters on a QWERTY keyboard. I remember being told this was by design for typewriter demonstrations, then someone telling me it was an urban legend, then someone else saying it was true.
Here comes the proverbial posterior prognostication: but… what if the premise of this discussion wasn’t true at all? What if you could type an even longer word on this first row?
Futurity published an article yesterday on a recent University of Missouri study, which I found quite interesting:
Focus on choice may get drivers to quit texting
The findings also indicate that reactance—or the resistance to being persuaded or controlled—played a paradoxical role in texting-and-driving prevention. When individuals were primed to experience reactance and exhibited initial resistance to prevention messages, researchers found death awareness effectively reduced those individuals’ resistance and positively influenced their behavior.
In other words, people behave more responsibly when they feel they have agency over their decisions. I’d be interested to see the accident rates in my Australian state of New South Wales after they introduced mandatory phone lockouts for all young drivers.
Microsoft began deprecating the Cortana app within the Windows Insider program just a short time ago — that’s programmer-speak for “getting rid of,” just like “layoff” or “workforce reduction” is HR-speak for the same thing. You can still open the Cortana app on Windows 11, but be careful.
On the top of the app you may notice that Cortana has an update available. If you ignore the update (for now), Cortana should continue to work as she’s supposed to for the time being. But if you apply the update, you’ll essentially kill Cortana.
When Norbert De Langen inherited the maintainership of Storybook.js, he thought the best approach was to actively design himself out of his role. This would mean bringing in as many good contributors as possible. So he undertook heroic measures. De Langen sent a meeting scheduling link requesting to speak in person to anyone who emailed him with a suggestion or question about the project code. De Langen met with over 200 people using this method during the project's first year. He estimates that nearly 20% of those he met with later became repeat contributors to Storybook, including many core contributors. With this effort, De Langen boosted his contributor pool and significantly reduced his coding burdens, making his maintainership more manageable.

Systemic inequities and barriers keep people of color from achieving economic security through employment, education, and homeownership, resulting in racial disparities in wealth and income. These disparities are the consequence of ongoing discrimination, structural inequality, and biases across our institutions. They continue to emerge in new forms of technology — including artificial intelligence and algorithmic risk assessment tools — that influence nearly every facet of life. The confluence of these inequities has created a massive, persistent racial wealth gap in the United States.
