The Ministry of Digital Development plans to create its own Linux community, which will unite developers from friendly countries who will be ready to work with Russia. This decision is a reaction to the exclusion of Russian developers from the global IT community.

Among the countries that could potentially become members of the new community is China, which has made more progress than others in developing operating systems.

I will be original. Radicle: A decentralized alternative to GitHub built on Gossip

The builds are prepared for Linux and macOS. Additionally, the desktop client, web interface and console interface are being developed.

We have made some adjustments to how the SDK code is organized and packaged to allow you to build and run the app with only GPL/OSI licenses included. The sdk-internal package references in the clients now come from a new sdk-internal repository, which follows the licensing model we have historically used for all of our clients (see LICENSE_FAQ.md for more info). The sdk-internal reference only uses GPL licenses at this time. If the reference were to include Bitwarden License code in the future, we will provide a way to produce multiple build variants of the client, similar to what we do with web vault client builds.

Thank you to Bitwarden for relicensing a thing to GPLv3 License!

by this logic it turns out that the code quality control system is built in such a way that if someone has malicious intent and wants to add malicious code, but is not affiliated with dubious structures, then he will easily succeed? Hey, what about enough eyeballs and shallow bugs?

Linus Torvalds Confirms Decision to Remove Maintainers from Russia

You couldn't come up with a more powerful spit in the direction of FOSS. And from Linus, who is now kind of showing f*ck to the entire community. Here you have freedom, openness and all that. Today they just wiped their ass with it, and by one of the founders.

This is the moment when the split politics, dirty ones from all sides, have penetrated into the very heart of OpenSource - into the Linux kernel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_YozYt8l-g

it's a pity that politics is penetrating more and more into open source and FOSS.

recently support for Russian cloud providers was cut out of opentofu. https://github.com/opentofu/registry/pull/824

now this. this is, of course, natural the core and many components of modern distributions have not been free in terms of decision-making for a long time and are under the influence of large companies, which in turn are under the influence of the USA.

for passwords no way, as you noted it is for calendars and contacts

as another option this KeePassXC(PC)+radicale+DAVx5 The same for KeepassDX

besides everything else, the end of support for syncthing-android, yes, that's a real blow to the gut.

Integration with Android

The GnuPG implementation for Android is called OpenKeychain. To configure it, just go to the "key management" menu and import the previously created secret key. The only drawback of OpenKeychain for me personally is that there is no fingerprint unlocking.

The pass implementation for Android is called android-password-store, or simply APS.

Install and launch APS. Before synchronizing the password store, go to the "Settings" menu. There we will need the following items:

1. Git server settings. The resulting URL should be the same as that specified on the repository page on github. Authorization type - OpenKeychain.

2. Git utils. In this section, specify the username and email from the gpg key.

3. OpenPGP provider. Select OpenKeychain.

4. Autofill.

Now you can clone. Select "clone from server" on the main screen, specify the desired location of the repository, check the git settings.

Of course, pass is not that easy to set up. However, this price buys confidence that the tools we use will not one day be declared obsolete, will not change their data format, and will not be left without support.

A small script for entering passwords into various windows via rofi, I take passwords from pass.

Example script:

#!/bin/bash
# Sample file rofi_pass.sh
passwords=$(find /home/fireshell/.password-store/ -type f -name *.gpg)
selected_pass=$(echo -e "$passwords" | awk -F "/" '{printf "%s > %s\n", $5, $6}' | rofi -dmenu -p Pass)
item=$(echo "$selected_pass" | awk '{printf "%s/%s", $1, $3}' | sed 's/\.gpg//g')
data=$(pass show $item)
pass=$(echo -e "$data" | head -n1)
login=$(echo -e "$data" | grep -e "^login: " | sed 's/^login: //g')
xdotool type "$login"
xdotool key Tab
xdotool type "$pass"

In awesome wm I bound a key that calls it like this:

awful.key({ modkey}, "p", function () awful.spawn.with_shell("/home/fireshell/Scripts/rofi_pass.sh") end    ,
{description = "rofi pass", group = "launcher"}),  

I turn on the computer, press the key combination and the script works, or I run this script from the terminal (~/Scripts/rofi_pass.sh), select the password - it works (if necessary, pinentry is called to enter the main password), after that I press the key combination, select the desired entry

passmenu: extremely useful and wonderful dmenu script.
