> the project has been taken over by another group of people not sharing our goals or approach

> Seedvault which was originally written for use in GrapheneOS by a GrapheneOS user is a consequence of the 2018 takeover attempt on the project, which the people currently in defacto control of Seedvault were heavily involved in.

Seedvault is currently maintained by the CalyxOS team but I've never heard about this stuff. Does anybody know what happened?

It's unclear, but it seems like this was someone testing to see if this exploit would really work. From the article: > The severity was debated - Endor Labs characterised the payload as closer to a proof-of-concept than a weaponised attack - but the mechanism is what matters. The next payload will not be a proof-of-concept.

But it does seem odd not to use an actual payload right away.

I'm in the process of doing something similar but just planning on throwing them on my Immich instance once they're ready (and that lets me share them with other people as well with the Immich account management).

I was under the impression that Ubuntu Touch worked just fine with the Fairphone 5 which is very much not a "7-year-old out-of-production device". I'm currently writing this from a Fairphone 4 (with CalyxOS, not Ubuntu Touch though).

Maybe I'm just missing it somewhere but does anyone see what the licence for this map is?

Great idea! https://paste.voklen.com/wiki/Main_Page If people start using it I'll get a proper domain name for it.

I quite like that this is a more unique writing style and in fact would encourage people to write "unusually".

I love well-reasoned, thorough articles like this with all the tradeoffs considered. It makes me confident in Typst’s future.

I use Helix and Zellij and it has been amazing, requiring very minimal configuration and maintenance.

I have quite a decent collection of these and only cancelled my subscription about a year ago. I just didn't read them as much as I once did and couldn't justify the cost. I did love them when I did read them though.
