rpki-client stricter aging policy for Trust Anchor certificates commited to -current

by
There has long been some concern in the networking communities, particularly the routing security part, about the use of very long lived Trust Anchor (TA) certificates in routing infrastructure.

Today Job Snijders (job@) commited code to
rpki-client(8)
to implement a gradual phase in of a stricter policy on TA certificates lifetimes.

This Week in F-Droid

TWIF curated on Thursday, 19 Dec 2024, Week 51

Community News

DEfO ECH Apps, Experimental fork of F-Droid to use TLS ECH with Cloudflare as the default host, was updated to 0.3 after two and a half years. If the buzzwords in the summary tickle your network needs, you can give it a spin, but remember that it’s based on the older client code so it might miss some of the new niceties. Testing helps us to hopefully integrate these features in the main client sooner.

ArcaneChat was updated to 1.50.3 and Delta Chat to 1.50.2. Did everyone test the new state-of-the-art Peer-to-Peer networking support introduced in 1.48? No? At least do read about it.

Element – Secure Messenger was updated to 1.6.24, but for various reasons only arm64 and x86_64 for now. The next cycles will bring the versions for the older armv7 architecture and the (probably gone by now) x86 architecture.

eSpeak, Text-to-speech engine for Android based on the eSpeak engine, was updated to 1.52.0 after a two year pause too. We complained that only RHVoice was updated 3 months ago, as its language support is limited, but looks like eSpeak is back, for arm64 and newer devices too, covering with its robotic voice more languages of the world.

Did you want to know more about the transition from K-9 to the Thunderbird app? Now you can, from the latest Heise interview with Philipp Kewisch. Three questions and answers: Technical change – from K-9 to the Thunderbird app is written in German, but Fennec and Mull will offer to translate it for you.

What about the apps? Well, K-9 Mail and Thunderbird Beta for Testers were updated to 9.0b3 and Thunderbird: Free Your Inbox was updated to 8.2.

SimpleX Chat was updated to 6.2.1, but given its build complexity and time needs only the armv7 version was built in the last cycle. Support for arm64 will come out soon. While you wait, peruse their latest posts, Preset servers operated by Flux, business chats and more and Oppose digital IDs.

@shuvashish76 brings us the gossip:

another.im, Yet Another Conversations fork but…, was just included yet it’s not a new app but the old Conversations Classic which finally fixed its issues that contributed to its removal in October. Welcome back!

DNSNet, Lightweight ad and content blocker, is a fork of DNS66, which appears to have its development stopped. The new app aims to continue the goals of the original with modern Android development practices.

Mullvad VPN: privacy is a universal right was updated to 2024.9 following their latest biennial security audit. A total of six vulnerabilities were discovered during the test by X41, and you can read about those and their fixes, here.

1 app was removed
  • Alexandria: Download and convert EBooks

  • Faraday: Secure messenger for Matrix based on Element
  • oj_helper: An app for looking up OJ information

If you’re using NetBSD you already know how to upgrade, and if you’re not yet using NetBSD, here’s the download page for the various supported architectures. There are a lot of them.
