Sometimes I get frustrated with my open source choice. Some days I'm like "yeah let's make X work" and others I'm like "I just want to do X and not make X work". I'm sure I'm not alone, but man sometimes... yeesh.

#Pipelight typescript issue fixed.
It was a nasty bug that slide in with #deno 2.2.
Fixed by replacing external #UUID library with bultins uuid library.
This type of heartful message is what keeps me sharing my best code with you. ☺

#AskFedi : How to bulk download all emails in inbox from #Yahoo email? I confess, I do not have a good habit of archiving and backing-up my emails. Now my inbox is booming and reaching ~10k emails since I have subscribed to a few mail lists. I do have #Alpine set up locally on my laptop to read them once in a while. I tried Select All and Save in Alpine however it is too slow and easily fail simply because it took so long that remote server would kill the connection.

#snac is a pretty cool #fediverse #activitypub server software!
Super lightweight, no database, easy to set-up.
I will not replace my main #mastodon instance with it, but i really have some other use cases for it, for example some bots or so.
And from what I saw, the code also is pretty nice to learn things from it. (me, a c programming noob)
Edit: Totally dumb of me to NOT post the Git repo in the first place 🤦♂️

Do any moots know someone who we might be able to consult about restructuring a mid-size FOSS project? Essentially to migrate from a BDFL model to a more flat-structured democratic organisation.
We are discussing how to restructure #postmarketOS so that it can continue to scale up and be a truly community-run project.
We have some idea of how co-ops like Igalia do this, but we have a lot of differences (like being largely volunteer run and having very different goals) which leave us with a lot of unknowns.
To give an example of the kind of structure we're thinking of (by no means final, there hasn't been any broad agreement on a new structure yet):
We have the relevant pieces in place to form an assembly (everyone listed on https://postmarketos.org/team/ ) which could then democratically form teams and delegate responsibilities to them (e.g. finance/budget, technical policy-making, maintainers for various OS components).
The assembly would then also be responsible for deciding on focus areas and long term goals for the project (e.g. improving reliability, building a production-ready immutable version of the distro)
We could then form working groups to enable cross-team collaboration to move towards our specific goals.
Currently we lack a lot of understanding of the potential implications of something like this, how we can ensure the project doesn't get hijacked, that we don't drift too far from our mission statement, etc etc...
If you have a background in sociology and/or relevant experience from other projects then I would love to reach out and be able to discuss this in more detail!
Are you considering to apply to an Open Internet Stack open call from the @EUCommission ? You are welcome to join one of the matchmaking sessions on February 11.
The aim of the sessions is to facilitate people who are looking for consortium partners to apply for a grant together. There will be 3 sessions, organized per open call.
@EC_NGI will give a brief introduction, and then the floor is open.

Again when I was trying to add some updates to an blog post from a few years back it seemed #Hugo update had break changes that prevented the theme from working. Since I do not have the knowledge to write a theme myself l, I turn to #ChatGPT and instructed it to write a theme from scratch, with minimal styling and no JS at all. It now works locally and I probably will switch to it soon after more tests. I hope using a minimal theme will make it less likely to break with future Hugo updates

It's probably a good idea to do another #introduction since people change over time, ideally.
I'm haui. I help people & build things that help people. Big #foss enthusiast, #sysadmin by day and #hacktivist at night.
I think all people (and animals) are born equal and should stay that way.
I oppose #capitalism and embrace alternative systems. I dont care about #corporatedemocracy and manipulated "free speech".
I want thirst, hunger and homelessness gone, for everyone, by any means necessary.

The problem isn't "too much software."
It's who owns the software, and what they optimized it for.
Healthcare isn't worse because of software. It's worse because healthcare software was built to maximize billing extraction, not patient outcomes.
Social media isn't worse because of software. But it was built to maximize engagement, not connection.
More proprietary closed #software built for profit extraction? Yeah, that'll keep making things worse.

Seria top o Governo ter uma plataforma dele de comunicação onde todos serviços públicos comuniquem com cidadãos por ali. Dentro do app Gov.br.
O Governo mantém sua soberania, não obriga cidadão a usar solução prioritária de bilionário e se fosse federado com XMPP o cidadão que já tem outra conta poderia comunicar, por exemplo, do seu isaCloud Messenger com os contatos dos serviços públicos sem precisar entrar no Gov.br.
Poderiam usar o próprio nome do canal deles que é Fala.BR.
O XMPP é realmente foda porque é descentralizado, federado, livre e tecnologicamente incrível ❤️

New #intro!
I’m a hyperjack musician, writer & video artist. My latest album, ‘Status’, is mainly about escaping Big Tech dystopia.
My website https://meljoann.com includes nerdy blog posts on Faircamp, Owncast & leaving mainstream social media.

Hi! 👋
I'm a #music producer with a strong passion for #photography. Music-wise I lean toward #EDM, while photography ranges from aerial to architecture and everyday stills.
A big believer in #privacy, digital independence, and owning your own space online, powered by #FOSS.
When I'm not crafting electronic noise or framing pixels, I’m reading terms and conditions just to feel something. 😁
Also, I get paid to talk. Not much—I just talk a lot.
Feel free to connect! ✨
