    What's stopping banks from creating FOSS (or atleast open-source) banking solutions (apps)?

    cross-posted from: https://fost.hu/post/226135

    Let's say, I create a bank with the caveat that all of my banking phone apps and webapps are FOSS (or if they depend on non-free components — banks probably do to communicate with each other —, then just OSS). Am I going to be behind the competition by doing this?

    If the most secure crypto algorithms are the ones that are public, can we ensure the security of a bank's apps by publicizing it?

    Are they not doing this because they secretly collect a lot of data (on top of your payment history because of the centralized nature of card payments) through these apps?

    EDIT: Clarifying question: Is there a technical reason they don't publicize their code or is it just purely corporate greed and nothing else?

  • Jailbroken Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2 with Koreader installed. Never really bothered to take notes while reading (let alone sync them), so I'm gonna follow this thread.

    I download my books from Soulseek and manage/transfer them using Calibre.

  • I tried editing my config.yml as the guide suggests but the problem persists. The problem seems to be that I'm using MariaDB instead of MySQL (pdo_mysql is compatible with MariaDB). Is there anything more I can do or should I try installing MySQL?

    EDIT: Purging MariaDB (Debian repo ships this instead of MySQL) and reinstalling it with sudo apt install default-mysql-server fixed the problem. Thank you.

  • I just simply sent a message to everyone I kept in touch on Telegram to switch to Matrix/Element and guided them through the registration to a local homeserver thanks to one of my friends' blog posts.
    The easiest way to convince your friends to switch is to just make the switch and help them sign up and use the service.
