3 days ago the RSS feed of planet.ubuntu.com stopped working due to a TLS cert error.
I THINK it's due to them overhauling & moving it to a github-hosted replacement, but as this was done just by redirecting DNS the new host doesn't have a TLS cert with the correct name. If so, this means that people following the old RSS feed can't do so any more and they got no notice that this was going to happen.
I don't know for sure though because my query remains unansw…

Re: discourse about #FediSoWhite
I'm a white man. Was on Twitter throughout #BLM and gained an awful lot of free education from Black folks on there. That was the start of me consciously following diverse folks which is a strategy that's improved my life immensely.
Back on Twitter before the Muskening, there was a lot of diversity. Black Twitter was a thing, and not just first-world (anyone else remember "O jewa ke eng?"). When I went looking for people to follow to diversify my feed, I found them in abundance.
That's why it's so clearly false to me when people claim that the fediverse is secretly diverse, and why anyone making that claim sounds suspect to me. Sure there are a ton of great Black and other POC folks you can find on here, if you look hard. But it's nowhere near the levels of diversity and community that were on Twitter. Which you would know had you been following those people before, so now I have to assume you weren't, and wonder why you feel qualified to make statements about diversity even though you haven't made an effort to engage with diverse voices before?
Also, if you were actually following some of the excellent POC voices on here, you'd know that across different servers and interest groups, almost every group has had a discussion of #FediSoWhite at some point. If all the Black people you follow are independently talking about the lack of community and diversity here, you've either got to believe them or start putting on your clown makeup, and the later is absolutely a choice.

The debate regarding the “Goldwater rule” has intensified
following President Trump’s recent rambling presentation in Pennsylvania
(Trump rails on affordability ‘hoax’ and flings racist attacks in rally-style speech, 10 December).
As a physician with decades of experience in health policy, I believe the current discourse misses a vital distinction:
the difference between prohibited diagnosis and legitimate observation.
The Goldwater rule was designed to prevent …

Great, my bank decided that it would release a new version of their app that isn't compatible with my phone...
Reason: They require "Google Play Integrity API" to pass before installing...
For those unfamiliar with it: the Integrity API is just a type of DRM to discourage people from using custom ROMs.
It is often cited to be "because of security" but when a phone that hasn't had any updates for 3 years passes it with flying colours, it's highl…

We’ve updated the draft GCVE BCP-05 standard to introduce flexible record types, making it easier to extend, enrich, and structure security advisories.

GCVE BCP-05 drafting - Best practices for the "container" format - modified CVE Record Format
Thanks @claudex . This is an excellent point and would also improve the ability to parse GCVE records reliably. Below is a proposal for a record_type field that would serve as a key within each GCVE record. Feel free to comment. @cedric I incorporated the idea concerning the sync of the comment (not sure if the most efficient way). Proposed update to BCP-05 (following the online workshop of 6th December in Belgium) The record_type field defines the semantic category of the content submitted by…
