We are very happy that today Apple issued a patch and a security advisory. This comes following 404 Media reporting that the FBI accessed Signal message notification content via iOS despite the app being deleted.
Apple’s advisory confirmed that the bugs that allowed this to happen have been fixed in the latest iOS release. You can read more here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/127002

🇪🇺 Digitally sovereign communications need an open standard to enable vendor-neutral federation and prevent lock-in.
We’ve mapped out sovereign communications across Europe that support @matrix open standard federation.
That’s sovereign and secure communications between separate organisations, and cross-border, without any reliance on a specific vendor.
Know of a deployment missing from the map? Contributions welcome.

@rysiek IPv4 is assigned at boot. IPv6 is self-chosen within the delegated prefix. 🔥
A quick heads up related to the #GazaVerified campaigns dashboard and API: the scrapers for Chuffed are currently broken and they have not sent updates in the past two days (thanks @iamdorkside for the heads up).
The reason is that Chuffed has recently pushed a large update where it both changed the campaigns page layout (hence the previous regexes to scrape the campaign ID no longer work), and it has replaced the previous ID format (integer-based) with a new one (UUID-based).
Unfortunately this is not a very trivial change, as it requires me to both change the scraper and reindex all the Chuffed campaigns on the database with the new IDs.
I should however be able to push a fix by tonight or tomorrow the latest.
Until then, Chuffed campaigns unfortunately will not report updates.
