I'd like to know from anyone who is treated satisfactorily whether they have any symptoms that persist and resist treatment, and if so, which ones. Ideally, I'd like to collect enough data to produce some sort of statistics (not scientific, of course). Feel free to use any format and language you like.

For me:

• The urge to fidget
• Attention span, which is better but rarely exceeds an hour
• Hyperfixation and hyperfocus

EDIT: Got hyperfixated, compiling the following JSON from your answers, so feel free if you want to follow the template :)

{ "diagnosis": "ADHD", "treatment": ["fluoxetine", "methylphenidate XR"], "age": "30", "years_in_treatment": "3", "remaining_symptoms": [ "fidgeting", "hyperfixations", "hyperfocus" ], "attention_span": "60", "record_date": "31/05/2024" }

I am not native so I am using DeepL Write (big shoutout) to correct this, so sorry if something is off.

Hey folks, I'm diving deeper into privacy and security across my devices and could really use your advice. I mainly use Linux but sometimes switch to Windows for specific needs. On my phone, GrapheneOS has been a solid choice for privacy.

For my Windows setup (affectionately named 'Trombone'), I'm running AtlasOS with a VPN that has a kill switch, all behind a Pi-Hole secured router. My browser of choice is Firefox, with extensions like Privacy Badger to minimize fingerprinting, and I avoid cloud services.

I'm reaching out to see if there are any additional steps or tools you'd recommend to further enhance my privacy and security. If you've got experience with similar setups or have faced any related challenges, I'd really appreciate your insights.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can share. Let's help each other make our digital spaces safer!

I am once again here to announce to the world that I got bored once again.

You can see my previous iterations of my desktop by clicking on my profile. For the lazy ones:

• Welcome to Vaporland
• Modern Days

Suddenly, I felt an urge to clean things up. I am on the go so I had to do a single screen disposition.

Tech stack:

• KDE Plasma (as in Kubuntu)
• Latte-Dock (from Ubuntu repo, straight)
• That background

Plasma Widgets:

• CircleClock (the one upper right)
• thot RAM (the RAM circle)
• CatWalk (the cat that runs based on the cpu % usage)
• Network Bandwidth (guess where is it)

Icon pack: Fluent Dark

About the latte panels:

• The dock on the left autohides
• Both the panels have strong shadows, no blur and low opacity

Advices for the Ricenauts:

• Maybe is just me, but I am pretty convinced that most of wallpaper websites have cryptominers
• thot RAM works quite well, thot CPU doesn't. Don't waste your time trying

Accustomed as we are to looking where the spotlight shines, it is easy to forget that Rojava is still a reality and that Kurdistan has not stopped resisting just because the world has turned away

Reason: wrong community

Work in Progress: Adding more details on the motivation

I have this proposal for ActivityPub

NOTE: This proposal is based on https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#authorization and https://www.w3.org/wiki/SocialCG/ActivityPub/Authentication_Authorization consulted on 06 January 2024.

• Considering that the entire section on safety considerations is presented as non-normative
• Given that "at the time of standardisation there are no strongly agreed mechanisms for authentication. " as per the above reference
• Assuming that the ultimate goal is to have a decentralised, persistent and verifiable identity.

Premise: The following proposal represents a radical and potentially disruptive change to the current ActivityPub specifications. In particular the following parts:

• ActivityPub clients authenticate to a server using OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens.
• Related OAuth considerations

It is also important to note that the following proposal can coexist with current OAuth authentication.

The proposed encryption algorithm (ED25519) can and should be updated in the event of a vulnerability or major upgrade.

Suggestion

I have no idea how to write a document like this correctly, and I am probably doing it wrong, but my only goal is to stimulate discussion.

The proposal is as follows.

ActivityPub clients authenticate against a server using ED25519 signatures In general, bearer tokens can be easily replaced by signatures in almost every aspect. Advantages:

• Servers don't need to store anything other than a session token.
• Authentication is decentralised and context independent
• Your key is your identity: no server breach can expose your data
• There are mature libraries like node-forge (for nodeJS and TS) and many others that allow easy implementation of authentication.

I have tried to think about possible downsides, but the goal of this post is to stimulate discussion, please keep it respectful, but of course criticism and additions are welcome!

Out of frustration after hours digging and finding them, I want to share with anyone that needs them the working drivers for all the (ones I know) Goodix fingerprint drivers, usually found on Lenovo IdeaPad (like the IdeaPad 3 Slim) but also on other laptops.

The url contains all the info needed.

The debian packages have been mirrored from either Dell's repo and AUR backdigging.

It should be only for debian/ubuntu based distro but by extracting the .deb archives and copying the directory structure I am pretty sure they will work anywhere.

Anyway, issues and pull requests are more than welcome.

I did not find these anywhere else.

List of supported devices:

0.0.4

• 27c6:538c
• 27c6:533c
• 27c6:530c
• 27c6:5840

0.0.6

• 27c6:550a

EDIT: Now the repo is also nice

Just a beautiful late afternoon in Italy

Haier hits Home Assistant plugin dev with takedown notice

I'm not really big on "let's make a movement", but this independent dev has been hit with a cease-and-desist from making a FOSS Home Assistant addon for their Haier air conditioners.

Haier claims that they are losing out on millions of dollars due to this plugin which... lets you control their air conditions from home assistant. They haven't bothered to explain how that's possibly worth millions of dollars - they're just claiming it.

So of course they hit the Streisand button and are demanding that he takes it down. He of course is complying... in a couple of days. Maybe you see where this is going.

It would be an absolute shame if any of you just happened to create a fork, or clone the code, or mirror it in your own instance. An absolute shame.

Just so everyone here knows which repositories NOT to clone or fork, here are the two links:

• https://github.com/Andre0512/hon
• https://github.com/Andre0512/pyhOn

and please, don't repost this anywhere, or share it in other communities, or anything like that. It's a shame that so many people already know and are making clones. I'm just letting you know so you don't do anything like telling others who may make their own copies.

(sidenote: Haier owns GE Appliance, so for our American folks it may affect you folks too)

I hope to stick with this for more than two weeks ^^

Here it is my refined daily driver for a cool vaportech experience!

KDE Plasma + KWin on X11
Latte-dock with 35% opacity
Active blur on the background
Aesthetic clock widget
Hermes RAM widget
That CPU widget named after a cat (i can’t find it anymore)
Don’t panic cause 42

The backgrounds are fetched from the web, just search “vaporwave backgrounds” :)

Shell: oh-my-zsh and Cool Retro Term plus a lot of self made customization
