We're way past the winter solstice, and approaching the equinox. The sun is noticeably staying up later and later every day, which raises an obvious question: when are the days getting longer the fastest? Intuitively I want to say it should happen at the equinox. But does it happen exactly at the equinox? I could re...

Google seems to be more into tracking web users and generally becoming hostile to users [1]. So using a browser other than Chrome seems like a good idea. The problem is the lack of browsers with security support. It seems that the only browser engines with the quality of security support we expect in Debian are Fire...

The RcppUUID package on CRAN has been providing UUIDs (based on the underlying Boost library) for several years. Written by Artem Klemsov and maintained in this gitlab repo, the package is a very nice example of clean and straightforward library binding. As it had dropped off CRAN over a relatively minor issue, I de...

I have a Grandstream HT802V2 running firmware 1.0.3.5 and while playing around with the VPN settings realized that the sanitization of the "Additional Options" field done for CVE-2020-5739 is not sufficient. Before the fix for CVE-2020-5739, /etc/rc.d/init.d/openvpn did echo "$(nvram get 8460)" | sed 's/;/\n/g' >> $...

Some of my 2024 free software activities10th February 2025It is a while since I posted a summary of the free software and open culture activities and projects I have worked on. Here is a quick summary of the major ones from last year. I guess the biggest project of the year has been migrating orphaned packages in De...

The Scavenger Door is a science fiction adventure and the third book of the Finder Chronicles. While each of the books of this series stand alone reasonably well, I would still read the series in order. Each book has some spoilers for the previous book. Fergus is back on Earth following the events of Driving the Dee...

It’s been quite the week of radio related nonsense for me, where I’ve been channelling my time and brainspace for radio into activity on air and system refinements, not working on Debian. POTA, Antennas and why do my toys not work? Having had my interest piqued by Ian at mastodon.radio, I looked online and spotted a...

Well, 2024 will be remembered, won't it? I guess 2025 already wants to make its mark too, but let's not worry about that right now, and instead let's talk about me. A little over a year ago, I was gloating over how I had such a great blogging year in 2022, and was considering 2023 to be average, then went on to gath...

This is going to be a controversial statement because some people are absolute nerds about this, but, I need to say it. Qalculate is the best calculator that has ever been made. I am not going to try to convince you of this, I just wanted to put out my bias out there before writing down those notes. I am a total fan...

New oggz release 1.1.2 after 15 years 9th February 2025A little over a week ago, I noticed the liboggz package on my Debian dashboard had not had a new upstream release for a while. A closer look showed that its last release, version 1.1.1, happened in 2010. A few patches had accumulated in the Debian package, and I...

For whatever reason, when I plug and unplug my Wireless Headset dongle over USB, it is not always detected by the PulseAudio/Pipewire stack which is running our desktop sound Linux those days. But we can fix that with a restart of the handling daemon, see below. In PulseAudio terminology an input device (microphone)...
