@dsoft It amazes me how many people don't understand that earning 1% on a bank account with 4% inflation means the value of your savings are going in reverse...

Print an access_log with indicator chart bars under each request line to show the size of the data transfer using log() to keep things "in control".

What a timing. After the PlayStore joke, here comes the @fdroidorg #AndroidAppRain 🌧️ of the day, with 31 updates and 4 new apps:

* Keep it up: server/service monitoring
* Kotori: a simple speedmeter
* Passman: Android client for the Nextcloud Passman app
* Word of the day: learn a new word/term every day

Now dupes. Properly reviewed originals. You can check and verify for yourselves.

Enjoy your (currently 3632) #Android #foss #apps from #fdroid

Missouri governor threatens journalists with political prosecution for using browser developer tools to discover that the social security numbers of hundreds of thousands of teachers are publicly available in the HTML source code of a state website.
