I’m a Rust compiler maintainer looking for a full-time role focused on Rust-related open-source work. While I’m currently employed, I’d like my next role to let me continue contributing upstream to the Rust compiler. I’m based in Japan and am not looking to relocate, but I can travel occasionally. Introductions and reposts would be appreciated! tako8ki.com/posts/looking-fo…

Most people trust open-source messengers for privacy. Very few check if their builds are actually reproducible. I verified the main ones. Some pass. Some fail. Some don’t even try. Full status 👇 github.com/BarbossHack/repro…

I've successfully verified the reproducibility of @ThreemaApp ✅ Thanks, @ThreemaApp, for gifting me the paid app, which allowed me to verify it 🫶

Nouvelle technique de phishing : les escrocs exploitent les mails officiels d'ameli.fr, qui échappent donc aux filtres anti-spam 🎣 Ils vous créent un compte sur le forum Ameli avec en "nom" le message d'arnaque et un numéro @onoff à contacter ☎️ @Assur_Maladie

Thank you for this @BarbossHack 🥰! And sorry for the very late reaction 😏! We really appreciate the work verifying this 🙏.

I’m in the @ReproBuilds newsletter 🥳 reproducible-builds.org/repo…

With the latest update, when @signalapp messages expire, they are immediately deleted from the local database. Previously, this cleanup could be delayed by several days, leaving data temporarily recoverable. Forensic operations can no longer retrieve expired messages.

The F-Droid variant of @olvid_io was verified as reproducible ✔️ github.com/BarbossHack/repro…

I finally found the time to check it: the @fdroidorg reproducible builds process is flawed, and currently Element X is not reproducible (neither the Playstore nor the F-Droid variant)

It looks like no one is actually testing @telegram reproducible builds against Play Store APKs. I found errors in their bundle process, and their apkfrombundle script always returns "APK has difference!" (don't get me wrong: no backdoors, just a broken bundle process)

✨ La Quête d’Ewilan débarque en série animée ! Fidèle adaptation du roman de Pierre Bottero, à découvrir dès maintenant sur France.tv et Okoo (France), Auvio (Belgique) et Play RTS (Suisse). 🌀 Propulsée dans le monde de Gwendalavir à seulement 13 ans, Camille voit son destin basculer et apprend la vérité sur ses origines. Cette sortie marque le tout premier chapitre de la collaboration entre Ankama Animations et Andarta Pictures. ❤

It's been 6 months since @ProtonMail (android app) stopped being open-source ⏳

Je vois bcp de gens débattre autour du sujet de contrôle des VPN J'ai l'impression que ce sujet nous fait avant tout oublier le projet de loi adopté à l’Assemblée nationale, imposant une vérification de l’âge sur les réseaux sociaux. Habile.

If you want to verify @signalapp’s 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, don’t just run their apkdiff script. You must also verify 𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐥 (not checked by apkdiff). That’s where all the network & cryptographic operations are implemented❗️ Both are currently reproducible ✅
