“A historic moment for Censor” #Censor – the PDF redaction tool for the @gnome@floss.social desktop – comes now with a new edit history. It allows you to undo and redo redactions using the right-click context menu or keyboard shortcuts. Also, a bug that prevented repeated saving to the same file path was fixed. Get the new version from @flathub@floss.social: https://flathub.org/apps/page.codeberg.censor.Censor and find it on @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de: https://codeberg.org/censor/Censor/releases/tag/v0.4.0 You may now talk Chinese, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Italian, and Vietnamese with Censor (thanks a lot to the translators!).

You can ask us questions about #Fedilab here by mentioning this account. We can answer in English, German (Marco) or French (Tom), and we will do our best. However, we can't track issues here, so the best way is to open a ticket on #Codeberg:

Heya R devs - did you know you can run all your favorite GitHub actions on Codeberg?

Codeberg is rolling out Forgejo actions - an (almost) drop-in replacement for GitHub actions, which means we can (almost) use r-lib/actions directly on a free and open source platform!

Just a couple tweaks are needed, and for your convenience I'm automatically mirroring r-lib/actions and applying those changes so they're ready to use.

Dear @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de, As an active member, I’d like to know what action will be taken against LinuxIsBest – the person mentioned below – and his account. He is using Codeberg to spread Zionist lies about Gaza Verified (https://gaza-verified.org) and attempting to get people to mass block verified accounts of people on the fediverse facing genocide in Gaza at the hands of Israel. As an anti-fascist organisation, I can only assume this goes against what we hold to be acceptable behaviour on our platform. Thank you. #genocide #Israel #zionism #hasbara #Gaza #GazaVerified #codeberg @katzenberger@tldr.nettime.org https://tldr.nettime.org/@katzenberger/117032929588578289

For those who still see gaps in their home timeline with #Fedilab, there is an open issue on #CodeBerg where I published two new APKs today: https://codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/issues/1410#issuecomment-24200376 This comment explains how to send reports: https://codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/issues/1410#issuecomment-23273524 Feel free to help. You can safely install the APK (Google or #FDroid version, from the custom repo) without breaking updates.

Your playbook failed. Management wants a root cause. You have 30 seconds. Introducing larvitz.bofh, an Ansible collection that returns Bastard Operator From Hell excuses: "Root cause: The mainframe tripped over an unhandled SIGSEGV in the automated espresso machine." Seedable, so each host keeps its story straight. Bonus category: Deutsche Bahn. https://codeberg.org/Larvitz/ansible-bofh #Ansible #BOFH #SysAdmin #DevOps #Codeberg #Humor #Linux

Time to work on migrating to more services that suit my values. #Mullvad -> #AirVPN#GitHub -> #Codeberg #Cloudflare -> #Codeberg (static hosting) and ... TBD, for domain registration

me talking about #codeberg a year ago: "folks, i get it that you're not happy with the downtimes, but please! we're a smol nonprofit that is always being compared to a billion dollar corporation!!! 🙁" some person talking to me about codeberg today: "i feel like codeberg is more reliable than github"

Oh btw today I discovered that Forgejo can serve as a Docker registry :o https://forgejo.org/docs/next/user/packages/container/ (... and much more!) #forgejo #git #selfhosting #codeberg #docker #container

The @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de FOSS Drama continues as predicted with @bizzfed@www.bizzfed.de 🍿 I predict this blog clause will be pleaded by the defendant: "Projects who have an active community that cares about and maintains the software". With my bet for the plaintiff to be pleading the "Projects written and maintained with heavy use of LLMs" clause. #bizzfed #codeberg #fossdrama #opensorce #llm #aiassisted #forgejo

RE: https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/117036096486689894

Dear @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de,

According to the anonymous Linux-Is-Best account, I am a scammer and Gaza Verified (https://gaza-verified.org) which I made and help run, is a scam, and every person from Gaza we verified using video calls – all 303 of them, by last count¹ – is also a scammer.

(Please see: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/2971)

This presents a problem because I am also a part of the Codeberg organisation as an active member with voting rights.

And the Gaza Verified source code is hosted on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/small-web/gaza-verified.org

(We’re clearly a very transparent scam operation that believes in FOSS, etc.)

So, if Linux-Is-Best is right, you are harbouring a known scammer in your organisation. Furthermore, by allowing the source code of the scam on your site, you could be held liable if you know of the scam but do nothing about it.

So, please:

1. Either remove me as an active member (and give me notice so I can cancel my direct debit and have time to migrate my account and projects elsewhere), or

2. Take down the libellous claims by this anonymous troll who is causing real harm to people facing genocide in Gaza (and who is thus, himself, complicit in genocide).

So I’m either a scammer and I should not be allowed to be part of the Codeberg organisation or the anonymous Linux-Is-Best is a libellous, genocide-complicit troll and should not be welcome at Codeberg. Because both of these cannot be true at the same time.

I’ll leave it to you to decide who you would rather want associated with Codeberg.

It shouldn’t be a very difficult decision to make.

It appears that Linux-Is-Best’s libellous blocklist of “Gaza Verified scam accounts” has been removed from Codeberg. I appreciate your taking action @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de; thank you. #Gaza #GazaVerified #genocide #libel #LinuxIsBest #fediverse #mastodon #Codeberg

Are #Codeberg static sites down for anybody else? None of my sites are online.

It seems @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de unauthenticated access is down (e.g., I couldn't git pull my public repo of my Emacs config over https without authentication). I hope it is not yet another round of DDOS or botnets that is ruining Codeberg admins' weekend. #Codeberg is an important part of today's FLOSS and it is a shame that we have had so many attacks during this past year. Stay strong Codeberg admins, we need you 🍻

“Better safe than sorry” For release 0.5.0 of #Censor, a lot of work went into improving the security of PDF redaction. PDF documents are tricky, and irrevocably removing elements from them is even more. With this release, before saving a redacted document, garbage is now properly collected and documents are sanitized, which means that metadata, page thumbnails, etc. are removed. Also, vector graphics are now removed with a more strict option when they overlap with redaction rectangles. On top of that, I added redaction of PDF annotations. The user interface was refreshed: with undo and redo buttons in the toolbar and improved document saving experience. Drawing rectangles is now indicated by a crosshair cursor. Thanks to the translators, you may now talk also Czech with Censor! Get it from @flathub@floss.social: https://flathub.org/apps/page.codeberg.censor.Censor or contribute on @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de: https://codeberg.org/censor/Censor #censorship #redaction #PDF #Codeberg #Flatpak #Flathub #GNOME #python #MuPDF #PyMuPDF #linux

“Zoom in, zoom out, redact your points!” #Censor v0.7.0 ships improved zooming with pinch-to-zoom gesture on touchpads and touchscreens and various security bug fixes. Find it at @flathub@floss.social: https://flathub.org/apps/page.codeberg.censor.Censor and @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de: https://codeberg.org/censor/Censor You may now redact safely also #PDF documents with cropped, scaled, or rotated pages. The upstream #PyMuPDF library has some issues treating these documents. Thus, I implemented manual transformation and drawing of the redaction rectangles, and verified the proper redaction with a specially created sample document, submitted to the collection by #pypdf: https://github.com/py-pdf/sample-files/pull/36 Additionally, point- or line-like elements are now properly redacted. Sanitization during post-processing keeps now entries in form fields (note: this changes previous behavior). Thanks to the translators, Censor is now available in 13 languages including Croatian and Russian. #censorship #redaction #Codeberg #Flatpak #Flathub #GNOME #linux #python #MuPDF

“Annotation censoring everywhere” #Censor, the #PDF document #redaction tool for the #GNOME desktop, got a minor update to v0.7.1. Find it at @flathub@floss.social: https://flathub.org/apps/page.codeberg.censor.Censor and @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de: https://codeberg.org/censor/Censor Censor’s #Flatpak package comes with the latest version of the upstream library #PyMuPDF (1.27.2.3). This solves an issue with annotations that could not be redacted in some files. Thanks to Julian Smith from #Artifex for fixing it upstream. In case you do not use the Flatpak package, you may need to wait for your distribution maintainers to update PyMuPDF’s version. Hindi has been added to the languages you may now speak with Censor. Thanks to the translators! #censorship #Codeberg #Flathub #GNOME #linux #python #MuPDF

#Censor, the #PDF document #redaction tool for the #GNOME desktop, was released in version v0.7.3. Find it at @flathub@floss.social: https://flathub.org/apps/page.codeberg.censor.Censor and @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de: https://codeberg.org/censor/Censor or get it from your distribution package maintainers: https://repology.org/project/censor-document-redaction/versions (currently AUR, ALT Linux, and NixOS).

A bug was fixed that sometimes prevented files to be saved with the “Save” menu entry or associated keyboard shortcut Ctrl+S. Censor’s #Flatpak package comes with the latest version of the upstream library #PyMuPDF (1.28.0).

Three new languages have been added to Censor since the last announcement here: Basque, Swedish, and Ukrainian. Thanks to the translators! You may contribute to translations at https://translate.codeberg.org/engage/censor

“Banish the ghosts” #Censor, the #PDF document #redaction tool for the @gnome@floss.social desktop, was released in version 0.8.0: https://codeberg.org/censor/Censor/releases/tag/v0.8.0 This version comes with major improvements to secure redaction of invisible elements: first, point- or line-like elements on page borders, and second, elements located outside of pages, quasi in infinity. These “ghosts” are now redacted or you’ll get warned during post-redaction-validation if redaction wasn’t possible. I discovered these issues in a few PDF documents after adding another big testing sample dataset, kindly provided by the #OpenPreservationFoundation: https://github.com/openpreserve/format-corpus Find Censor on @flathub@floss.social: https://flathub.org/apps/page.codeberg.censor.Censor and @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de: https://codeberg.org/censor/Censor or get it from your distribution package maintainers: https://repology.org/project/censor-document-redaction/versions Thanks to its translators, Censor is currently available in 17 languages.
