When I grew up we had numbers like 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B 😱 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0, not just 04

Similar, except those are caused by users visiting a link, whereas the Fediverse issue is federated servers gathering info before users even see a link.

Thanks for bringing this up. I think in general we need to work on optimisation of Activitypub and Threadiverse implementations of it.

New #Crosswords release for #GNOME. This one was a good one, with new animations and a revamped acrostic editor. It also comes with a few more widgets that might be shareable. I'm really happy with how the game looks now.

Computing dependencies for neomutt
The following dependencies will be installed:
bzip2
cyrus-sasl2 +kerberos
gettext
gettext-tools-libs
gmp
gnupg2 +openldap+pinentry_mac
gnutls
gpgme
icu
kerberos5
libassuan
libcomerr
libfetch
libffi
libgcrypt
libgpg-error
libksba
libtasn1
libusb

libxslt
nettle
npth
openldap
p11-kit
perl5 +perl5_34
pinentry-mac
pth
sqlite3
tcp_wrappers
texinfo +perl5_34

Every time I see kerberos5 crop up as a dependency and I am like: wtfh is that a default?

I do not run Active Directory, KDC, or anything similar, personally.

My guess: most users? Also do not rely on such things.

Leave that as a variant, or FLAVOR, for the sysadmins to turn on if needed.

Thank you, that is all.
