Today I checked off an item on my bucket list: release an app on the Apple App Store. 🎉
I started this app to help me manage my as-needed medication, with three core values:
1. 🔒 Privacy First (no tracking or data harvesting)
2. 🎁 Always Free (no ads or subscriptions)
3. 📂 Open Source (transparent & inspectable)
Download on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/as-needed/id6714469235

It's been a while since I've last used #crypto (and by that I don't mean coins but oldschool #cryptography : encrypting and signing mails, etc.), and lately I've only used #gpg to encrypt my #pass vault.
However, I wanted to up my game a little, so here it comes: For the first time I got myself a hardware token. I opted for #yubikey even though #nitrokey is probably the better option, because of #opensource. But I wanted my first steps to be smooth ones, and also try out all the different operational scenarios; and all research said that Yubikey is the better supported and the more versatile option (maybe I'll switch to a #nitrokey later on).
I went a bit overboard with the setup as well. I got myself some new USB drives, one flashed with #tails - a portable live #linux system by the @torproject developers, to boot with it a machine #offthegrid on which I'd create my keys. A #gnupg main key just for certification, and three subkeys for signing, encryption and authentication. The main key was moved to two backup USB keys, the subkeys on two Yubikeys (which as a bit of a hassle as usually you are only allowed to move them to one).
While the private main key will never see the light of day (i.e. just stay on the thumbdrives or be imported by the off-grid tails system), the subkeys will live on my tokens (which are not readable as well).
They expire every year so I'd need to renew them (with the main key on tails), my identities are tied to the main key, and if any key is compromized I can easily create new ones with that main key.
To me that seems pretty sound, and a lot of overkill, tbh :D But it was also quite fun.
Next up: Switching my environment to use Yubikey and my new GPG keys instead of #ssh etc. And after that I'll give #2FA a try. And if I am not on the PC I'll guess I'll read some more about #EllipticCurveCryptography. First time I am using those algorithms as well. So long, #RSA, you've been a great companion the last couple of decades, and hello #ed25519, nice to meet you.

Am 30.09. halte ich einen Vortrag auf dem VuFind-Anwendertreffen.
In meinem Vortrag zeige ich, wie ich mithilfe von Python eine Citavi-Datenbank in eine global zugängliche Fachbibliographie überführe. Die wichtigste Erkenntnis: Open Source Software demokratisiert die Informationsverbreitung.

5 ways to spot software supply chain attacks and stop worms - before it's too late https://zdnet.com/article/5-ways-to-spot-software-supply-chain-attacks-and-stop-worms-before-its-too-late/ by @sjvn
Shai-Hulud is the worst-ever software supply chain attack, and it's a loud warning that we must protect our #opensource code from attackers. #Security

✅ To everyone rewriting fundamental Linux tools, core software, libraries, and kernel bits in Rust because memory safety : THANK YOU.
❌ To everyone replacing GPL licensed bits with MIT or more restrictive licences : FUCK YOU.
💰Safety is good, open road for a closed source Linux is not.

I will present on 30/09 at the German VuFind-Anwendertreffen.
My presentation will discuss how I use Python to convert a Citavi database into a globally accessible subject bibliography, using VuFind. The key finding: Open Source Software democratizes information dissemination

@BMDS Digitale Souveränität ist, wie in dem Video gesagt, das Ziel. Sie ist überlebenswichtig für die Zukunft.
Daher bitte auch mit Tempo diese herbeiführen. Zentraler Schritt: Weg von Produkten großer globaler Player die uns in ihre Abhängigkeit treiben.
Anfang: Umstellen aller Behörden auf #Linux als Betriebssystem und #Libreoffice statt MS-Office. Fördern von #OpenSource Projekten und nicht mehr von Microsofts Lobbyisten belabern lassen.
Schleswig Holstein macht es vor.
