Nice to meet you! I'm interested in Linux, FOSS, and FOSH, but I'm interested in other topics as well :D.

that @JasonPunyon curated and compiled a whopping archive of answers from and assorted Q&A sites in a minimal sqlite format, where they can be downloaded and analyzed offline:

https://seqlite.puny.engineering/

Amazing effort and great idea. Reminded me of the archives that kept of it (alongside Wikipedia and similar projects), but more streamlined and cross-platform. Nice.

@kzimmermann @JasonPunyon Have a bit of mixed feelings on this. Glad this works offline and has a lot of good info when StackExchange implodes. But probably doesn’t respect original author’s work + AI can scrape this much easier

Here are the results of the little survey I ran early this week!

I must admit the results surprised me, I tried to explain them as best I could, but don’t hesitate to comment on the video if you have other ideas !

Also, the raw data is available from the link in the description :)

@thelinuxEXP According to the results, this aged like milk:

If only this picture had the next paragraph...

"There are some who gloomily expect a society run by a small elected elite, presiding over a mindless multitude kept happy by drugs and circuses, much as in Huxley's Brave New World. But most futurists believe that work will still be the only way to gain responsibility and power."

@drewdevault Is there a plan to integrate with the fediverse? https://meta.discourse.org/t/activitypub-plugin/266794

Dang, today I learned that NFC in Linux is pretty much dying

https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/5/12/680

https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/NFC

Seems to be the result of a cycle between no users and no applications. With Linux mobile being as stable as it is on some platforms, maybe Linux mobile applications utilizing NFC can kickstart NFC out of the cycle?

Does #Waydroid support NFC? Maybe that can be another avenue as well

@martijnbraam I’m hoping it isn’t that bad! Would like to make some apps eventually too (once I mainline my device so I can test it)

@drewdevault I hope memory safety comes into Hare one day. Congrats on the release!

Want to contribute to @postmarketOS but don’t want to buy an old phone? When switching carriers, see which carriers will throw a free phone in

I got two phones like that. They both are bootloader unlocked (within Android!) because my current carrier whitelabels them and it seems they are too lazy to change the defaults. Also have another phone that is unlockable via mtkclient

Worst case scenario is that you switched carriers and have another Android phone in the drawer

Kinda went into a rabbit hole into a minimalist #workflow

Leaning towards the following setup (Want to be minimal, have lots of support/tutorials, and ideally FOSS. I want to be up and running asap):

  • Alpine
  • NvChad + tmux + lsp servers ( + more?)
  • surf
  • Sway
  • aerc
  • himitsu

Some questions:

  • Tips on setting up Alpine?
  • Lightweight OBS, Krita, Libreoffice, Ardour6, etc?
  • Other cool software I should look at?

@Logical_Error@fosstodon.org avatar

@kzimmermann Oh is Alpine another piece of software? I meant Alpine Linux above :P

Or do you mean do Alpine Linux as a VM in Alpine Linux?

I wish Fosstodon had more than a 500 character limit :/

#ArchLinux / #danctnix now ships #Linux #megi 6.4 which has all #PinePhonePro patches for correct camera rotation and location (front/back - used for automatic mirroring in some apps and better camera naming).

This is a great step for having a good camera experience out of the box - the only thing still missing is #wireplumber being installed by default (see https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch/issues/537)

After that, one can e.g. install #gnomesnaphot or @dino from #Flathub and it should just work.

#LinuxMobile

@craftyguy @rmader @dino Probably not :(. Any pointers on how to upstream another person’s commits?

The iOS Mastodon app just crashed and i can't tell if it's because the app sucks or because my phone is on the brink of death

Setting up my blog, but I have some questions:

Using Hugo:

  • Currently host my blog on Gitlab, however it's broken on Codeberg. I symlinked /public/index.html to /, but still no good. How do I fix this?

Raw HTML:

I'm trying out Hugo and simplecss. I thin Hugo might be the way to go for a simple blog, but I'm just exploring around
