@wdormann @Pidgin yeah I generally just load the Charles proxy CA on whatever I need. But more modern android lets apps control certs more so you need to root or magisk to load the cert and trust it system wide. But I was hoping this might simplify it a bit but probably not.

@wdormann that's awesome! My typical use case of this is intercepting traffic from android/iOS apps for study and reimplementation in @Pidgin. But I saw the cert expires in May (I think) so there's some time here 😅

@wdormann Good call, I wonder if someone as put together instructions for using this with MITM Proxy or Charles Proxy...

Sometimes it feels silly to donate $1 to any project but while the amount of money they have is important they also care about total number of donors as a way to demonstrate broad interest in a project.

So when did we all agree that sending a one-time password in email is more secure than using a secure password? #passwords #security

Just found a new issue to add to my #XMPP beef... It turns out coyim is using the @pidgin logo in their DOAP file. According to blame, it was added 11 months ago, but I just now noticed it on xmpp.org/software/?category=clients. Surely others have seen it and chose to do nothing. Rather […]

I leave the stuff on the floor for a minute, grab the cheese mix pack and shake it around to get all the cheese away from the top. In the process of doing that, it rips and the packet goes flying into the sink spilling a bunch of cheese dust. Luckily wasn't even half of it. So I mix the cheese […]

It's officially official, #DigitalOcean supports the #Fascists and has given up on #OpenSource at large.

Any email from the Digital Ocean Open Source Creditors Coordinator that reads...
Hello,

We’re reaching out to share an important update regarding the DigitalOcean Open Source Credits Program.

DigitalOcean has decided to sunset the Open Source Credits Program. As part of this change, we are no longer accepting new credit applications or approving credit renewals, extensions, or additional credit requests.

If you currently have Open Source Credits that have already been granted, those credits will continue to be honored according to their existing terms and conditions. No action is required for your existing credit allocation.

Additionally, the dedicated inbox for the Open Source Credits Program will stop being monitored as part of this transition. For any further questions or assistance, please submit your inquiries through our standard support channel: https://www.digitalocean.com/company/contact/support

We appreciate your participation in the DigitalOcean Open Source Credits Program and the work you do to support the open source community. Thank you for being part of the program.

PPS, the actual values are estimates of what I remember because I didn't write them down. But I was on hold with my my insurance for over an hour and eventually cursed them up and hung up so details are fuzzy at best.
