This week on @fossandcrafts we talked with @brainwane about many things, including the need for representation of FOSS culture in visual and narrative arts!

Let's get crafting folks!

We also happened to discuss how both @brainwane and @cwebber had used their hobby skills to make fundraising materials for @conservancy . It just so happens that the Conservancy is once again in the middle of their annual fundraiser, so if you're in a position to do so, maybe consider contributing? https://sfconservancy.org/supporter/

Last August, the excellent Gitlab forge migrated to Google Cloud : -(
https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2018/07/19/gcp-move-update/

As a direct consequence, the site is no longer accessible from several countries. Indirect consequence: sysadmin and developpers in these same countries can no longer download Gitlab's source code to install it on their servers.

@Framasoft provides a mirror of Gitlab Debian repositories: https://apt.gitlab.mirror.framasoft.org/

Feel free to share the information (in other languages if possible).

I'm sure those charts would look even more extreme for me in the context movies!

Um amigo meu está vendendo ceias veganas pra festas de fim de ano. Os pedidos vão ser recebidos até 15/12, e entregues no dia 23/12 perto da estação Bresser-Mooca (linha vermelha).

O cardápio está num PDF que coloquei em https://monsterpit.cloud/s/DPfSb2mm22cyAkp

A pessoa que está organizando também está no Instagram em https://www.instagram.com/ceiasveganas

When editing @fossandcrafts sometimes we have guests and have to do "multi-track editing" in audacity... which is a bit more work than single track. @mlemweb sometimes edits but previously only did the single track ones but I wrote up a tutorial for her... so why not share it with you? https://dustycloud.org/misc/audacity-multi-track-tutorial.txt

Software Freedom Podcast: SFP#1 on Day Against DRM with Cory Doctorow https://fsfe.org/news/podcast/episode-1.en.html

gdocs is increasingly unusable, it feels like trying to use an old computer in the late 90s that keeps hanging up while typing

Together with the Internet Society, we have written an open letter to the EU to explain why an encryption backdoor for the 'good guys only' is simply impossible. Keep fighting for a secure internet with us! 💪👇

Reading this https://wicki.io/posts/2020-11-goodbye-google-fonts/ , my thought seems to go in an unusual direction: Browsers are partitioning their caches?

They're probably doing it to prevent timing attacks. Similar to Spectre, but not a CPU-level vulnerability.

But it immediately struck me as a probable performance regression. I reckon network timings shouldn't be exposed to webpages, but doing so would once again break most JS. JS was a mistake!

4: Use the upcoming holidays to ask for contributions in lieu of presents. This is a great thing to do for birthdays!
