IE like Crypto AG:
In 2020, it was revealed that the Swiss company, Crypto AG, which provided secure communications services to ~120 governments throughout the 20th century, was [secretly ran by the CIA and West German Intelligence.](https://archive.ph/va2l7) The CIA and later NSA were able to read encrypted communications for many countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Italy, Indonesia, Iraq, Libya, Jordan and South Korea.

It's been a busy month, with a lot of work to add new features to lemmy-ui which were already added to the Lemmy backend before. There were also a lot of bug fixes for the development version. We are gradually getting closer to a 1.0 release.
While the API changes for 1.0 are *mostly* finalized, we still have [many more lemmy-ui 1.0 tasks](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/milestone/5) to complete.
Some of the major additions:
- [Simplified lemmy-ui development](https://lemmy.ml/post/36316159).
- Audio file support in lemmy-ui.
- Added comment locking (which also locks children). Thanks to @flamingos-cant)
- [Post time filtering, with a smart dropdown](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/3403#issuecomment-3286284650).
- Added ability to block all users from an instance (separate from blocking all communities)
- Added ability to make a note for a person, and view the vote totals you've given to them.
- Fixed remote RSS feeds.
- Added ability to do actions on report items, from the reports page.

An open source project the size of Lemmy needs constant work to manage the project, implement new features and fix bugs. Dessalines and Nutomic work full-time on these tasks and more. As there is no advertising or tracking, all of our work is funded through donations. Even so there is barely enough time in the day, and no time for a second job. The only available option are user donations. To keep it viable donations need to reach a minimum of 5000€ per month, resulting in a modest salary of 2500€ per developer. If that goal is reached we can stop worrying about money, and fully focus on improving the software for the benefit of all users and instances. We especially rely on recurring donations to secure the long-term development and make Lemmy the best it can be.

> Yorke also condemned Hamas, admonishing the Palestinian Islamist group that governs the Gaza Strip for the October 7, 2023, attacks that precipitated the Israeli military’s offensive in the region. “Why did Hamas choose the truly horrific acts of October 7th?” he asked.

You're talking about the USA, not China. Internet costs in the PRC are much lower than the USA.

## About Habit-Maker
Have you found it difficult to build new habits? Habit-Maker uses rewards and encouragements to help get over initial willpower required to form new habits.
## Features
### Rewards
Habit-Maker game-ifies making habits by giving you rewards each time you check a habit. It shows the following progress metrics:
- Streaks - The # of days you've completed your habit in a row.
- Points - points for checking habits, with multipliers for continuing your streak.
- % progress to your [66-day-ingrained habit](https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2009/aug/how-long-does-it-take-form-habit).
### Encouragements
Studies have found that encouragements are [vital](https://jamesclear.com/three-steps-habit-change) to building new habits. Habit-Maker takes advantage of this by allowing you to create your own **custom encouragements.**
Before creating a habit, take a few minutes and think about _why_ you want to build this habit. What benefits will it bring you, and how your life will improve by doing it?
A good encouragement should have:
- An initial congratulations for completing the habit.
- A message tailored to you, about the benefits or reasons why you should continue.
Some examples of good encouragements:
| Activity | Encouragement |
| ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Brushing your teeth | Great job! Your friends will like seeing your whiter teeth, and less coffee stains. |
| Lifting weights for 10m | Nice job! People will notice your better physique. |
| Cardio for 10m | Well done! Studies show you're going to live a lot longer! |
| Working out for 10m | Excellent! You'll have more energy, and feel healthier by continuing! |
| Meditating for 10m | Nice! You're on your way to bettering the lives of those around you, by developing your awareness. |
### Completing a habit
Once a habit has been formed, its relatively easy to continue doing it, almost as if it were on auto-pilot. Research shows that ~40% of our daily activities are habits that don't require much (if any) willpower once they've been formed.

## Support development
@dessalines and @nutomic are working full-time on Lemmy to integrate community contributions, fix bugs, optimize performance and much more. This work is funded exclusively through donations.
If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider [donating to support its development](https://join-lemmy.org/donate). Recurring donations are ideal because they allow for long-term planning. But also one-time donations of any amount help us.

## What is Lemmy?
Lemmy is a self-hosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.
## Changes
This release took a long time to complete due to a major performance problem which brought lemmy.ml to a crawl every time we tried to deploy the new version. It took a lot of testing (in production) to narrow it down to a single commit, and finally fix the problem.
The release itself contains numerous bug fixes and minor improvements:

## Upgrade instructions
This upgrade could take as long as ~30 minutes for larger servers, due to needing to recalculate controversy ranks for all historical posts.
There are no breaking changes with this release.
Follow the upgrade instructions for [ansible](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/blob/main/UPGRADING.md) or [docker](https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/install_docker.html#updating).
If you need help with the upgrade, you can ask in our [support forum](https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support) or on the [Matrix Chat](https://matrix.to/#/!OwmdVYiZSXrXbtCNLw:matrix.org).
## Thanks to everyone
We'd like to thank our many contributors and users of Lemmy for coding, translating, testing, and helping find and fix bugs. We're glad many people find it useful and enjoyable enough to contribute.
Special shout out to @SleeplessOne1917, @phiresky, @dullbananas, @mv-gh, @Nothing4u, @asonix, @sunaurus, @flamingo-cant-draw, and @Freakazoid182 for their many code contributions and helpful insights.
## Support development
We (@dessalines and @nutomic) have been working full-time on Lemmy for over five years. This is largely thanks to support from [NLnet foundation](https://nlnet.nl/), as well as [donations from individual users](https://join-lemmy.org/donate).
If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider [donating to support its development](https://join-lemmy.org/donate). A recurring donation is the best way to ensure that open-source software like Lemmy can stay independent and alive, and helps us grow our little developer co-op to support more full-time developers.
