Instagram switching away from the square format without recourse is a clear sign that they no longer understands (or care) about creatives. ...not that I am surprised.

It works! Beyond passkeys, I can encrypt a file in the browser with typage and WebAuthn, and then decrypt it with the same YubiKey from the CLI with age-plugin-fido2prf. README: github.com/FiloSottile/ty… PR: github.com/FiloSottile/ty…

You have until Feb. 26, 2025, to download copies of your Kindle books to your computer. After that, Amazon will remove the ability to download books to files. This project works great: github.com/treetrum/ama... I had to use: bun run start --manualAuth --baseUrl "https://www.amazon.de" #amazon

jdependency 2.12 is out which should bring #java 24 support for #maven dependency shading. Sorry for the delay - but the ASM versioning was a little weird on this one. They added java 24 support in a patch release 🤔 github.com/tcurdt/jdepe...

Just release jdeb version 1.13 It allows creating #debian packages from #maven and #ant in pure #java. github.com/tcurdt/jdeb Glad to see it's still useful after such a long time. First release was in 2008. Quite a few people helped out with the release this time ❤️

Last Christmas Santa brought mostly woodworking projects for my family and friends. I don't think with all the tools and building the CNC this has broken even yet (not that this was a goal). But it sure was fun though. Build more, buy less! #woodworking #cnc #maker

Ruby on Rails + Turso It's been a while since I dabbled in Ruby on Rails territory but that is pretty cool. Turso makes the whole deployment and backup story so much easier. turso.tech/blog/turso-a... #ruby #turso #sqlite #rubyonrails

A simple rule of thumb for error handling in Rust: in an application use anyhow (or eyre) as a catch-all, in a library use thiserror (or snafu) for precise error definitions. #rustlang medium.com/@evadawnley/...

Feels pretty amazing. Not sure I dig the transparent titlebar yet. I kinda like "macos-titlebar-style = hidden", but then moving the window becomes a little wonky.

Any ProtonPass users out there? I am tempted to make it a family gift just so I don't have to deal with their password madness anymore 🙄 Any thumbs up or down?

For hardware devices it should be mandatory for manufacturers to unlock the firmware and release specs after they drop software support. I assume Louis Rossmann would approve this message.

Quoting Apple on using display target mode: " - The iMac used as a display must have macOS High Sierra or earlier installed. - The other Mac that you're connecting it to must have been introduced in 2019 or earlier and have macOS Catalina or earlier installed. " So what to do with old iMacs?
