RSAF

RSAF is an Android document provider for the wonderful rclone. It allows any app that supports Android's Storage Access Framework (SAF) to access remote files via rclone's backends. RSAF is not itself a file manager, but any file manager supporting SAF, including the one built into Android (Settings -> Storage -> Documents), can make use of it.

https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/arch-dev-public@lists.archlinux.org/thread/MZLH43574GGP7QQ7RKAAIRFT5LJPCEB4/ The developers of Arch Linux distribution announced that they have received an investment of 562 thousand euros from the STF (Sovereign Tech Fund), a fund established in Germany to stimulate the development of open digital infrastructure and open source ecosystems. The fund was established with funding from the German Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Protection and is overseen by the Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation SPRIND. The funding has been allocated to work on modernising the ALPM (Arch Linux Package Management) toolkit, which develops specifications, utilities and libraries for tasks such as creating and using packages and managing repositories.

The project attempts to structure interfaces related to package management and provide utilities and pipelining written in the Rust programming language. The specifications and utilities developed by the project are based on Pacman functionality. The reason for switching to Rust after using C in Pacman is to reduce the likelihood of committing memory errors.

Google is rolling out the Identity Check feature it announced last week.

When Identity Check is enabled, biometric authentication will be required for sensitive actions like:

- Accessing saved passkeys and app passwords
- Changing the PIN, pattern, or password, and turning off Find My Device

...whenever your phone is in an untrusted location. This makes it harder for someone to compromise your Google Account. Turning off the feature requires either your biometrics or your Google Account and can only be done when your phone has Internet access.

Identity Check works on Android 15 and later and is available through a beta version of Google Play Services.

Thanks to Matthew Rawling on my Telegram group for the screenshots!
