Many apps I rely on daily now open with a warning that they simply won't comply with Google's invasive verification in October. This doesn't affect me, as my critical devices are fully de-googled.

About

I help software developers secure their work supporting research and higher education. Here you may find my occasional blog posts with DevOps recipes or example code in obscure programming languages. Check out my other Mastodon for silly sketches and art generated using code.
