@SkewedZeppelin @relan if 128 is so problematic by next week, maybe you can pen a small snippet for the TWIF, explain the issues F-Droid encounters when trying to build Mozillas code and etc?

Podcini.R replaces Podcini

106

On getting my new version Podcini.R listed, linsui and Licaon_Kter have been very helpful. There were some issue on getting a reproducible build, linsui patiently provided lots of assistance in getting the build right. I here express my appreciation for their work.

Thanks for the note and help, Licaon_Kter.

RustDesk 1.2.6 update:

  • Fixes security vulnerabilities in embedded libaom and libvpx. Users are strongly encouraged to update RustDesk clients and self-hosted servers ASAP!

  • Fixes QA regression that previously used prebuilt vcpkg (reported by @Licaon_Kter)

  • The build suppprt for android-x86 architecture was dropped due to excessive complexity and Flutter fix resolving it waiting for upstream approval.

In The anti-feature you've asked for | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository :

but if an app relies on a non-free but self-hostable server software, e.g., MongoDB, it should be marked as “Tethered Network Services” only.

This should read:

it should be marked as “Non-Free Network Services” only.

The IzzyOnDroid repo gained support for reproducible builds.

The process tries to get the sources from the published APK, rebuild them and compares the binaries. If they match, this information gets displayed in the repository overview.

Also they are working with Droid-ify and Neo Store, that these clients can display the reproducible build status.

With v0.25.1 LibreTube now supports “local streams extraction” similar to NewPipe which contains a workaround for recent AntiBot protection changes by YouTube.

See: FAQ - "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" · Issue #6389 · libre-tube/LibreTube · GitHub

go to Settings → Instance and enable Disable Piped proxy as well as Local streams extraction. Disclaimer: The bot-blocked API call will now be done directly from your IP address, which is obviously less privacy-friendly. Using a VPN is recommended, but might not always work since YouTube blocks IPs of VPN providers as well.

Maybe FFShare | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository is worth getting mentioned.
