Perhaps try Authnkey which is more recently updated. If that doesn't work then some details like which security key you are using and over which protocol (USB or NFC) would be good to know.

Maybe people don't care but some do. I am sure I am not alone in caring. I believe every user should have the right to know what is running on their system and where it came from. What they choose to do with that information is up to them.

For context, Haven is a fairly new open source (GPLv3) SSH client for Android.

At first when I saw this I was eager to explore it: there isn't much choice in terms of open source SSH clients for Android. Termius is proprietary, ConnectBot is unmaintained (but recently has had some new activity?) and JuiceSSH was never open source afaik. Currently I am using Termux + openssh but that's not great either (e.g. no FIDO ssh key support).

However upon further inspection I am a little suspicious that AI is used significantly for a few reasons:

  • Claude has contributed a few commits (but not many)
  • Some of the markdown files (like VISION.md) read like AI generated text
  • The way the author replies to issues and PRs also reads like AI generated text, with heavy use of em dashes and bold text unnecessarily
  • The rate of commits and new features seems rather high for a single person working by themselves

Are my suspicions founded? Even if the author uses AI to generate documentation and reply to issues, I'm not sure about the actual code itself. SSH access is quite a sensitive thing so I'd like to know whether the client I am using is built with AI or not. Would appreciate your thoughts.

Sigh. I knew uv and ruff were too good to be true. Just hope the community can fork before it all goes to crap.

[-] prism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 3 months ago

No, the maintainer of syncthing fork deleted their account and the repos out of the blue. There's a lengthy forum post about it here.

Yet the source code still isn't public. It's been at "As we're rolling it out gradually to ensure a bug free experience, source code will be available at a later time on our GitHub repo." for the last 2 months. Later time probably means in a year at this point.

Edit: 2 months later (if anyone's still reading this lol) they have finally updated the GitHub repo with the latest source code. Phew.

Chat control and any sort of good are fundamentally incompatible.

For a second I thought this was The Onion. This is so dark and invasive but I can't stop myself from laughing. It's like they don't even care to pretend anymore.

[-] prism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 5 months ago

Great!

I'm sick of this. We have to defeat it every time it comes up, and there is no doubt it'll come up again in 2-3 months. They only have to win once and when they do it'll be in our lives forever.

I use GrapheneOS without play services on my daily driver because I despise Google's forcing play services down Android's throat. The irony isn't lost on me that Graphene only works on Google devices, that will hopefully change soon as Graphene works with an OEM to build their own devices. I don't bother with banking or government apps as they aren't mandatory where I live, at least not yet. I try to stick to FOSS (or at least source available) apps where possible.

On a secondary device I also run a rooted version of GrapheneOS just for fun. Yes I know it might be viewed as terribly insecure but it's just a secondary device that I like to play around with, it doesn't have any important data on it. I find it quite interesting to learn how rooting methods work to bypass the normal security measures in place.

I really hate this timeline. 99% of companies pushing users into walled gardens. Governments and banks forcing people to use invasive apps that only work in those walled gardens. Slowly our control is eroded, yet your average user couldn't care less as long as they get to watch their TikTok slop for a few hours a day.

Until a Linux phone becomes viable I'll be using a rooted custom ROM and avoiding banking/government apps like the plague.

[-] prism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 57 points 6 months ago

It can be implemented well but often isn't. Likely eID will force you to use an mobile app (no website or Linux app, yay) that is only available on Apple's app store or GPlay. And if you want to run a degoogled android ROM good luck with that when they force Play Integrity. Basically shoving everyone into either the Apple or Google walled garden along with the complementary spyware of both gardens and also screwing anyone who uses a non-smart phone either out of choice or circumstance.

Only the APK is on GitHub, source code is still from the previous release. They say it will be "available at a later time" but knowing Proton that could take a while.
