Habt ihr oder euer Team Bedenken, dass bei Software-Reviews möglicherweise Risiken oder auch Schwächen aufgedeckt werden könnten? @StefanZoerner verrät im im dritten Teil unseres 🕸🎙️ LASR-Interviews, warum es genau darum geht. Und wie es mit dem Blick auf positive Ergebnisse & dem richtigen Umgang mit Fehlern gelingt, Teams für die Durchführung eines #Reviews zu motivieren:

Call for @joss reviewers:

EdgeVPN.io
repo: https://github.com/EdgeVPNio/evio
pre-review: https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/6355
language: Python

Description:

EdgeVPN.io is an evolution of the IP-over-P2P (IPOP) project. IPOP started as an IP-based peer-to-peer overlay targeting personal devices, and over time the architecture evolved to adopt various standards, support centralized user/group management, and incorporate software-defined networking, culminating in the current architecture, tailored for research and development in nascent edge computing applications.
...
EdgeVPNio is a research project to build networking for the fog, spanning the network continuum from the cloud to its edge. It builds networking cyber-infrastructure which supports emerging IoT era applications.

Looks like this one might be a bit of fun for #p2p people, or i suppose #DistributedSystems people generally. No prior experience reviewing for JOSS is required, experience with Python is required, and some experience with the topic area is preferred. Don't be shy! If you've never done open review before, JOSS is a great place to start. It's a really good way to learn by teaching (or learn by reading!) in a collaborative context. You can reply here or on the pre-review issue to volunteer :)

edit: would love to have some infosec people on this one! even and especially if you are not in academia :)

Wanted to give some impressions on #Firefish (or #Calckey if you haven't noticed the rebrand). I'm new to the fediverse, and typically was not a consumer of Twitter, so these might be some "well duh" comments but here goes anyways.

1. One of the features that I really liked about Mastodon was the column layout. This is something I think a lot of Twitter users are probably used to. At first I thought Firefish did not have this support, but you actually can add columns using the + on the right!

2. The columns are highly customizable. I found the "flexible" setting to be the best option for feed-centric columns, but the fixed width for stuff like notifications.

3. WORKSPACES! This is an amazing feature. It's like how you can have different desktops in Mac OS or Linux (hell, maybe even Windows has that feature but I haven't used a Windows OS in a number of years now). Once I had my lists setup, I realized I can have workspace to show me the "typical" feeds list, but then one with my lists so I can just browse those on their own.

4. Speaking of lists, I was happy to find out that I can mute a particular account in my feed, but that does not affect it appearing on a list. The same goes for muted boosts from any user. Those show up in the list but not the feed. Great!

5. I've been using #RadiantApp (iOS) for Mastodon (which is amazing and I highly recommend it!) but it won't connect to my account here on Firefish unfortunately. One of the problems I was having with the progressive web app (PWA) version of Firefish was there didn't appear to be any way to get it to refresh the feed. Pulling down didn't work as expected. BUT Firefish has a way to fix this! You can add a refresh button to your navigation bar. Just go into the settings, go to navigation, then type "reload" in to the list wherever you want that button to appear (I added it to the very top). After you save there's a refresh button you can hit when you load the PWA.

6. Migration was simple. Export from Mastodon and import into Firefish. I suppose this is more of a Mastodon feature than Firefish one, but it works really well so I wanted to point that out.

A few suggestions I have if any Firefish devs happen across this post.

1. Would be nice to have window resizing save. I'd like the window that opens for things to stay the size I set them to last time. For example, the post composition window or when you click a post to see the comments.

2. One thing I didn't note above is that the customizations you make have to be done per browser. So if you add the refresh button to your navigation bar in your desktop browser, you also have to add it on your mobile browser for the PWA. This goes for themes and other settings as well. It would be nice if there were some way to save these preferences to the server for my account so I wouldn't have to recreate them per device. Of course, you'd probably need a way to override settings between devices if there are some that are incompatible on mobile vs desktop, or vice versa.

3. In relation to number 5 above, the name used to add an icon to the navigation bar and the text that the icon is labelled as do not match. The icon is labelled as "refresh" however the text to get it to appear it "reload." While this is a little thing, it would be nice if the nomenclature was consistent.

All in all, I've pretty much moved to Firefish as my permanent home now that I've kind of figured out (some of) the ins and outs. Looking forward to whatever comes next!
