Hello les mastonautes. Existe-t-il un plugin qui permette de préparer une #Newsletter à partir d'une selection d'articles d'un site #wordpress pour l'envoyer par exemple vers une liste #mailman sans avoir à passer par un site tiers de marketing ? Là, je sèche et je fatigue... Merci ! (Et je vais finir par faire des copier coller de liens à la main là !)

Has anyone here on #fedi figured out the correct recipe for dealing with #OpenPGP, #DMARC and #mailman ?

The problem, by default mailman will modify messages and this will break the dkim signature.
gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/i

Mailman provides two DMARC mitigation options (other option is reject or discard which is not useful in this case).

1. Replace the from address with list address
2. Wrap original message in an envelope

thunderbird flags 1 and fails 2.

in google groups, i used to be able to just put the group email address in calendar invite field and it would send everyone an individual invite.

in Mailman, it does something very weird, i think it sends a single invite that everyone on the list can set on behalf of everyone? its odd and doesn't really work.

does anyone know how to make #Mailman behave like google groups in this respect? its a very annoying feature to miss out on and rn i have to export the list every time.

But we ran out of cash and steam early in 2002. However the goal wasn't accomplished, & after our book sold well & I learnt how a free #Mailman mailing list with 8,000 emails can become a paid-for email newsletter with 40,000 emails of which a quarter pay for at ShootingPeople.org (the only other UK filmmaker site to survive the dotcom crash the same time as us), in 2006 Netribution returned after a year's attempts, first trying to build our own CMS, then using Mambo, finally using #Joomla.

ShootingPeople.org's yello, black and grey website around 2003. It's a login screen with a large image (a photo of a yellow hoodie and a chalk outline) alongside a quot from Mike Figgis. Almost all the text on the screen are images - there was still not web typography at this point.

Looking to move off #aws EC2 for simple personal hosting of #wordpress, #mailman and email, due to increasing costs. Locked in for a year or so, but later this year #amazonLinux2 goes out of support... so have to rebuild from scratch anyway

Saw @beasts Pi hosting, because #geek

Anyone used this for that ? Esp. any IPv4 issues. E.g. how well the IPv4 proxy for HTTP(S) and fetching email work, use of their backup MX for incoming from IPv4 hosts....

Any gotchas ?

Best practices in practice: Software release tracking and end of life curiousity.ca/2024/best-practi Continuing in my “best practices in practice series” : an API for finding the list of available software versions and an API for finding out if those versions are still actively supported (and for how long). … #BestPractices #BestPracticesInPractice #infosec #mailman #OpenSource #security

This is part of my series on “best practices in practice” where I talk about best practices and related tools I use as an open source software developer and project maintainer. These can be specific tools, checklists, workflows, whatever. Some of these have been great, some of them have been not so great, but I’ve learned a lot. I wanted to talk a bit about the usability and assumptions made in various tools and procedures, especially relative to the wider conversations we need to have about open source maintainer burnout, mentoring new contributors, and improving the security and quality of software.

If you’re running Linux, usually there’s a super easy way to check for updates and apply them. For example, on Fedora Linux `sudo dnf update` will do the magic for you. But if you’re producing software with dependencies outside of a nice distro-managed system, figuring out what the latest version is or whether the version you’re using is still supported can sometimes be a real chore, especially if you’re maintaining software that is written in multiple programming languages. And as the software industry is trying to be more careful about shipping known vulnerable or unsupported packages, there’s a lot of people trying to find or make tools to help manage and monitor dependencies.

I see a lot of people trying to answer “what’s the latest” and “which versions are still getting support” questions themselves with web scrapers or things that read announcement mailing list posts, and since this came up last week on the Mailman irc channel, I figured I’d write a blog post about it. I realize lots of people get a kick out of writing scrapers as a bit of a programming exercise and it’s a great task for beginners. But I do want to make sure you know you don’t *have* to roll your own or buy a vendor’s solution to answer these questions!

What is the latest released version?

The website (and associated API) for this is https://release-monitoring.org/

At the time that I’m writing this, the website claims it’s monitoring 313030 packages, so there’s a good chance that someone has already set up monitoring for most things you need so you don’t need to spend time writing your own scraper. It monitors different things depending on the project.

For example, the Python release tracking uses the tags on github to find the available releases: https://release-monitoring.org/project/13254/ . But the monitoring for curl uses the download site to find new releases: https://release-monitoring.org/project/381/

It’s backed by software called Anitya, in case you want to set up something just for your own monitoring. But for the project where I use it, it turned out to be just as easy to use the API.

What are the supported versions?

My favourite tool for looking up “end of life” dates is https://endoflife.date/ (so easy to remember!). It also has an API (note that you do need to enable javascript or the page will appear blank). It only tracks 343 products but does take requests for new things to track.

I personally use this regularly for the python end of life dates, mostly for monitoring when to disable support for older versions of Python.

I also really like their Recommendations for publishing End-of-life dates and support timelines as a starting checklist for projects who will be providing longer term support. I will admit that my own open source project doesn’t publish this stuff and maybe I could do better there myself!

Conclusion

If you’re trying to do better at monitoring software, especially for security reasons, I hope those are helpful links to have!

A shady new super PAC named for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg
just spent nearly $20 million on efforts to help Donald Trump appear more moderate on abortion,
but the group won’t reveal where its money comes from until after the election.

The pro-Trump RBG PAC
(a massive insult to the late justice, who hated Trump)
is attempting to use the liberal justice’s legacy to try and boost Trump ahead of the election.

Its website even features photos of Ginsberg and the former president, captioned “Great Minds Think Alike.”

Two advertisements produced by the RBG PAC emphasized Trump’s statements claiming that he would not support a federal abortion ban.

The PAC revealed Friday that it had spent $19,976,000 on digital media, text messages, and printing or postage, according to a disclosure to the Federal Elections Commission.
The majority of that cash, a whopping $17.3 million, was spent on digital media.

It’s unclear who exactly is funding RBG PAC.
The group registered on October 16, which was the last day of the final filing period before Election Day,
according to The New York Times.
Any group active at that time would have had to disclose its donors and vendors, but RBG PAC’s contributors still remain a mystery.

Every cent was paid to a company called Western Creative Group LLC,
a Wyoming-based company with no digital footprint.
Political reporter Roger Sollenberger noted in a post on X that the company had
“never been paid by a federal committee before; principals hidden behind a corporate agent; no online footprint whatsoever.”

Forms for the PAC’s expenditures were signed by #May #Mailman, one of Trump’s former legal advisers.
While in the White House, Mailman worked in the chief of staff’s office and the staff secretary’s office.

After her turn in the Trump administration, Mailman served as the vice president of "Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections", a Republican-led nonprofit organization that challenges what it views as violations to election law.
She’s currently the director of the "Independent Women’s Law Center".
During an appearance on CNN earlier this week,
Mailman defended Elon Musk’s scheme to randomly give out $1 million to registered voters who sign his “constitutional petition,”
a scheme that earned him a warning from the DOJ.
Mailman said Musk’s stunt was just to get “attention” and that “creativity is warranted in elections.”

The marvels of modern computing…
You want a mailman installation on Debian? Install those 50 Python packages first!
Oh, you also want to manage your mailing list? Totally easy, just install a literal gigabyte of Django stuff and whatever to run a web admin interface!
Then add your domain and remove the example.com domain, and the web interface stops working completely.
Seriously, does anybody test this stuff?

Last few days at #osuosl:
- Switched one of the ppc ceph osd nodes w/ a HW RAID card, showed significant performance improvements! Ordered more cards for the other nodes
- Fixed a failed VM resize from P9 to P10
- Finished a PR to add radosgw support to our #ceph cookbook
- Made a PR to sync up our new #Chef managed #mailman VM. Hoping to migrate off the legacy system soon!
- Moved #Debian #mipsel motherboard to spare Supermicro case as the old case has a bad PSU & is not rack friendly
