I remember suggesting Lemmy to mods of a popular subreddit, during the API Shutdown 2 years ago

They told me they had no idea how to even use it and would rather just use Discord. I check a couple months ago and they still exist on Reddit…

They hate us cause they ain’t us 😎

Not me I’m cool 😎

Fair enough

Edit: Not sure if you’ll see this, but I agree with your viewpoint. I wonder if it’s the initial presentation (post lacking context) that causes mass downvoting? Without it, it looks like spam (although I don’t think this post is).

Take this down nephew

git clone this before it gets taken down

I found https://radicle.xyz/ but I’ve never used this technology before. Maybe someone can shed some light?

I was wondering why these types of open source projects always push to Github, despite the latter always complying with DMCA. (I get that Github provides discoverabilty features, but it just isn’t worth it to have all your work taken down).

On a similar note, has anyone tried out https://radicle.xyz/? It’s supposed to actually make use of git’s peer to peer nature (and not the client server model that everyone adopts with git) and ideally provide discoverability features.

The said I’ve only read the faq and haven’t actually tried it myself. Basically I’m wondering if it’s worth doing a deep dive on this technology

Just came to give kudos for finishing an album, and with mostly open-source tools at that. Hope you find a receptive place to post your work!

We have to make the biggest return on our investments, fr fr

Lmao this is the type of creativity the world needs. Shame about the circumstances requiring it, however

Coffee didn’t hit my brain before reading the headline; I thought this was an app to report ICE sightings lol

(Maybe someone on F-droid could get on that?)

Adding on to Windows: There’s no way (in the UI) to add symlinks. In Windows 10, symlinks must be created in an administrative command prompt. It is pretty damn clunky.

I’ll have to look into that distro later. Anything particularly noteworthy about it, besides the symlink abuse?

Edit: I did some rudimentary searching, apparently it’s a meta distro that let’s you mix and match stuff from multiple linux distros: https://bedrocklinux.org/

That’s actually pretty wild. I might play around with this in the future

Hey no worries, we all start somewhere.

Now that you know about symlinks, you can get creative with them: https://sparkventure.net/the-versatility-of-symbolic-links-in-linux-a-guide-with-examples/

The hard part now is to avoid overdoing it: https://www.ceos3c.com/linux/understanding-linux-symbolic-links-a-beginners-guide/#best-practices-and-common-pitfalls

Thanks for the rare, rational comment regarding Obsidian. Many people here seem to think releasing software as closed source automatically means you have something to hide; seemingly forgetting we live in a capitalist system in which you must constantly sell your services to survive. (I am saying this as someone who adores FOSS and donates to most of my homelab software on a regular basis).

I think a more productive way to look at is: is the closed source dev friendly (or at least non-hostile) to the open source community? In the case of Obsidian, they haven’t done anything egregious, and regularly contribute to open source plugins. Furthermore, the notes are stored as markdown files. This gives the user strong resistance against potential enshittification, so even if they did go rogue you can just move to some other text editor lol. Granted, you would miss out on plugins but otherwise that’s a good reason to keep your plugin usage light and plan your Obsidian vault accordingly.

If someone is looking for a local hosted budgeting alternative, consider using Actual Budget. It’s an open source app that’s similar to YNAB

Edit:

Also this is an interesting read from the original developer of Actual. Basically, it started as a closed source web app funded by a subscription model. When the business failed, he decided to open source it

https://actualbudget.com/open-source

I began feeling old when re**itors started calling their site an ‘app’

Oh this is awesome, thanks for the Tux’s

Edit: I think they are lower resolution than the source image

What books did you read?
