@aral@mastodon.ar.al sounds good - and it's also good for those on those instances to know that they can't actively reach out to many people in the program if they stay there.

mastodon.uno to be honest is a bit more nuanced. I've spoken to the admin and he's generally supportive of gaza-verified. But they decided to suspend accounts who only ask for donations through mentions. Which is understandable, but IMHO rather than suspending they may just limit them, so anyone who is already following them on their server won't lose the connection.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al social.tchncs.de also suspended Joy and Aseel (and I definitely doubt it's because of their spam)

Lately I have noticed that when you purchase a ticket you don't get a static PDF/PNG anymore.

Increasingly often, you get a .pkpass file, which is supposed to be opened in wallet apps (like Google Wallet or any 3rd-party wallet app).

Since I don't like to share information about the events I attend with strangers on the Internet, I have decided to take a closer look at these .pkpass files.

They are just zip files that contain a background image, an icon and a pass.json with the actual information about the ticket. Nothing that can't be handled by a script rather than a 3rd-party 100 MB mobile app.

I have thus put together a simple #shell script that does exactly that.

Dependencies:

• jq
• zint
• magick
• unzip
• curl or wget
