If you have an #ir camera which is recognized by #linux don't forget to install and setup Howdy https://github.com/boltgolt/howdy It just works and will save you a lot of time from typing passwords over and over again (note: biometrics and face recognition in particular are not a bulletproof authentication mechanism; do assess your threat model carefully)

@onlinecommunityhub In Joomla 3 it gives you the image dimensions WITHOUT having to load and parse the file server-side. This is used in aspect ratio calculations, checking if you need alternate representations (different size images) in a PICTURE element etc. In J4 it contains information about which filesystem driver was used, necessary when you have files stored in S3, Dropbox, etc.

EU dead set to screw up software development, ESPECIALLY FOSS, across the entire union https://devclass.com/2023/01/24/eus-proposed-ce-mark-for-software-could-have-dire-impact-on-open-source/ If this passes I'm emigrating and never looking back.

@onlinecommunityhub If it ends up in your IMG tag your extension or template developer does it wrong by neither going through HTMLHelper::image nor using HTMLHelper::cleanImageURL().

I like the way GoTo lead their latest breach notification by saying “encrypted” backups were exfiltrated…
…then when you dig into it, you see they also took the decryption key. So, the backups.
