The article has an interesting passage about how Irish aluminium is currently being sold to Russia for weapons, and the EU is (rightly) trying to stop this.

Advice for a collaborative text editor in c/linux@lemmy.ml

For plain text & Markdown, you don’t even need Collabora. Since 2019, NextCloud has a built-in collaborative text editor.

Ptouch-print compile error: Could not find GD library in c/linux@lemmy.ml

it’s the only way!

TBF I was trying to follow the docs, aber ich spreche kein Deutsch.

Ptouch-print compile error: Could not find GD library in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] modem_down@thebrainbin.org 3 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I overlooked this line from the docs:

Benötigt werden cmake, git, libgd und libusb - bei manchen Distributionen (z.B. Ubuntu) sind die Header-Files in separaten Paketen "libusb-dev" die ggf. noch nachinstalliert werden müssen.

I should have done sudo apt install libgd-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev before attempting compilation.

Ptouch-print compile error: Could not find GD library (thebrainbin.org)
 

Trying to install ptouch-print:

$ git clone https://git.familie-radermacher.ch/linux/ptouch-print.git
Cloning into 'ptouch-print'...
Fetching objects: 794, done.
$ cd ptouch-print/
$ ./compile.sh 
Found GD: NO
CMake Error at cmake/FindGD.cmake:109 (MESSAGE):
  Could not find GD library
Call Stack (most recent call first):

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

So I thought maybe libgd was not installed, but it is, so where am I going wrong?

$ apt list --installed | grep libgd3
libgd3/noble,now 2.3.3-9ubuntu5 amd64 [installed]

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu, what's up with this? It doesn't seem in any way justifiable.

US prosecutors charge Atlanta man after GrapheneOS phone wipes itself during airport search in c/technology@lemmy.world

@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social

It would be trivially detected by widely distributed standard forensic software including the non-Premium variant of Cellebrite able to run on a laptop.

By "duress profile", I mean that if user has enabled a "duress profile" feature in Settings, then entering the duress PIN would:

  1. Erase (the encryption key for) all profiles and storage outside the duress profile; then
  2. Unlock the duress profile.

So, how would forensic software detect that the unlocked profile is a duress profile?

@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social everyone seems to be clamouring for the same thing: add "duress profile" to the roadmap. Keep up the good work.

Mullvad on the Donation Controversy in c/privacy@lemmy.world
[–] modem_down@thebrainbin.org 1 points 2 days ago

On 18 Jan 2025, before Proton and Mullvad CEOs came out in support of the far right, Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) recommended:

  • ~~Mullvad (Sweden)~~
  • ~~Mozilla VPN* (USA/Sweden)~~
  • ~~Proton VPN (Switzerland)~~
  • Tunnelbear (USA/Canada; owned by McAfee in USA)
  • IVPN (Gibraltar)
  • Windscribe (Canada)

I've crossed out the first three, since their CEOs support fascists. (I don't think Mozilla's CEO is fascist, but Mozilla VPN uses Mullvad under the hood, so Mullvad presumably gets access to the bulk of Mozilla VPN users' money and connection data.)

Nym is not on the list, so presumably didn't meet FPF's requirements.

The Onion was right about high-speed busses replacing high-speed rail in c/theonionwasright@sh.itjust.works
[–] modem_down@thebrainbin.org 1 points 6 days ago

I'm all for extra public transit, but 140mph on a bus (not a guided bus) sounds highly unsafe. 70mph is more realistic.

Kinetic energy rises with the square of velocity, so a 140mph bus would have 4x the KE of a 70mph bus.

  • 70mph crash: dangerous but should be survivable for seat-belted passengers.
  • 140mph crash: probably fatal to everyone on board and anyone in its path.
