3.3.1 is in #FDroid now, upgraded from 3.2.5 without a hitch, works fine.
Blogged a short ode to pet projects: https://blog.debiania.in.ua/posts/2021-04-15-build-inconsequential-things.html
How to opt out of Google's FLoC with Nginx:
add_header Permissions-Policy "interest-cohort=()";
Add this inside every server block, and reload Nginx.

#FDroid users: don't update Nextcloud Notes client to 3.3.0! There is a bug that causes the sync to fail: https://github.com/stefan-niedermann/nextcloud-notes/issues/1122
Wait for 3.3.1 to reach F-Droid, that one is supposed to work fine.
(To prevent 3.3.0 from bothering you in the "Updates" window, go to the app's page in F-Droid client, click three vertical dots in the upper right corner, and tick "Ignore This Update" checkbox.)
@lightone Perhaps you're aware of such a tool? (Prompted by your boost of a Fediverse.party toot about new Fedi projects.)

PSA: If you're posting a comment on a forum, GitHub, etc., and the service:
∙ lets you edit your comments
∙ notifies others about new comments
then please, please, don't use the editing feature for adding new information or thoughts into your already posted comments.
Use editing to fix typos, or fix formatting, or otherwise make your message nicer *while keeping the content*. If you think of something to add, post another comment instead.
People who rely on email and notifications will thank you.

It is important to report bugs in opensource projects because people writing code can't fix bugs they are not aware of.

My Home timeline is getting overwhelming. Is there some app that'll help me rank my follows somehow and help decide which ones to drop?

Statistics are so that some of my readers will have to use their backups tomorrow.
If you are the unfortunate one, you should better check your backups today.

Fwd from HN Best Comments:

This is one of the most important legal decisions in the history of software. The US Supreme Court has basically just saved the whole software industry (and FOSS projects) from being wrecked by patent trolls.

This is, at no level, an acceptable approach to dealing with any sort of public disagreement. And I will never condone or participate in any such approach.
Tests just saved me from making a change that would've broken some setups. I immediately fixed everything, of course, so no-one would ever know that originally, I screwed up.
Just though I'd let you know, in case you're wondering if you should "waste" time writing tests ;)
