Have a look at YUNOhost for your OS. It’s based on Debian and is designed to be really easy to set up and use, which might be useful for you as you have young children and not much time.

Ah OK that’s a shame.

I haven’t even looked at port forwarding. I think maybe some ISPs in some countries might block traffic this way but others will know better. Everything just works with Mullvad on Fedora with Qbittorrent, so I’m happy.

Good work!

I can’t speak for others but I go through phases of enjoying the sound of different accents. I’m currently loving Indian.

I’ve seen this being recommended for audio production but was put off disabling it because I didn’t understand what it was. I’d like the performance gain though.

Has anyone else here disabled it?

Where did the Linux socks thing come from? I see it around and am curious about the lore.

I think this is a good article and I agree with it.

A big part of how I got turned on to open source was emotional and still is tbh. I felt like I was being taken for a fool by Apple, Google, Microsoft and Facebook and was angry.

The big money and power is in information technology now and it’s the new instrument of imperialism, which is why ‘enshittification’ has happened. The great news though is that information is so easily shareable and reproducible, so the more of it we make free the harder it is for them to keep fucking us over with it.

I don’t know when the next big civilizational ‘reshuffle’ will happen (probably on it’s way now), but the more that we make common and free the less leverage the greedheads will have over us when it’s time to work out a new settlement.

I think Cherrytree is my most important app. It’s primarily for making hierarchical lists but you can hyperlink between nodes and to external files and URLs and you can insert files, images and tables. I pretty much use it for organising my entire life and archiving important files, links and documents. The database is a single file (which you can have encrypted), so it’s super portable and you can sync it between devices. You can easily theme it yourself too (the default theme/icons looks quite old school).

I also love GIMP 3.0

Pretty ironic considering they don’t play any sports of their own.

I have my Linux laptop open at work next to their windows machine and the difference when I switch between them is ridiculous.

Maybe. They clearly want to in Denmark and Germany though. And France does good work too.

Not many of us are old enough to have seen things really change but they can.

Sounds like either a) the dehumidifier is broken or confused b) your apartment has more moisture in it than you thought or c) the moisture is being replenished from somewhere.

I stayed in a friends house a few months ago and she had 4 dehumidifiers running since she bought it. The house was built before damp proofing was a thing and set into a hill, so the place is basically one massive wick for groundwater. It will never be over for her.

It would be funny if Trump’s biggest legacy was the mass adoption of open source.

The EU could get a ridiculous amount done if it decided to seriously invest in it.

That’s the spirit 👍

This an impossible choice, so I’ll take two: Ernie & Bert :)

I use Jami and Session. Interested to check out SimpleX Chat though.

It certainly is!

I’m afraid I can’t offer any recommendations but I just wanted to say how beautiful it is to think of you keeping track of each others heartbeats while you’re apart. That’s love
