Hello to all of you people of mastodon! 🤗
This is my #introduction
Here I will share stuff and links that I would like more people to know, I will also try to write some reflexions and though on my projects. I live in Normandy, France. My current topics of interests are various: #programming #bike #osm #climatechange #selfhosting #freeSoftware #linux #maps #openstreetmap #wikidata #rust #python
I speak french 🇫🇷 and english 🇬🇧 .

Sad news: The Living Computer Museum in Seattle won't reopen and the collection, including the historic PDP-10, pivotal to the origins of #Emacs and #FreeSoftware, is set to be auctioned. One of their PDP-10, the second to be named AI, still has MIT's "Deactivated Property" sticker prominently displayed on the front panel. What will become of these technological treasures? It's a moment for reflection on how we preserve our digital heritage. https://www.geekwire.com/2024/seattles-living-computers-museum-logs-off-for-good-as-paul-allen-estate-will-auction-vintage-items/ #TechHistory #SoftwareFreedom

Why isn’t software funded by taxpayers released as Free Software? 🤔💻
We need legislation 📜 requiring publicly financed software to be #FreeSoftware. If it’s public money 💰, it should be public code! 👨💻👩💻
Code paid by the people should be available to the people! 🙌 #PublicCode
Looking for CMS advice
Hey Web devs!
Do you have any suggestions, tips, opinions, dos, don’ts about headless CMSes?
I have a growing list of small/mid non-profits and collectives asking for my help to (re)make their website. I totally want to help, but I don’t have much time, especially considering that they generally have little or no funding—I would most definitely point them to @VillageOneCoop, otherwise.
Therefore, I want a super simple and replicable solution where I can copy-paste most of the code, while providing them with a stable, fast, and modern solution. I had a look at the Headless CMS section in the Jamstack website, but I need opinions from people who actually used some of that software already.
Needs
I want to code and configure everything using @eleventy
Admin interface (#WebApp) for the client to add pages and write posts
Static website in the front-end
Simple and reliable CI/CD
No/minimal maintenance after the first setup
Self-hostable (I was taking this for granted so much that I forgot to write it)
If it requires forge integration, it should support #ForgeJo
#OpenSource
Nice to have
Possibly using #Deno, not #NodeJS
Allowing the client to customize a bit their website through the admin interface, with a GUI
CMS app packaged on @yunohost
No CMS vendor lock-in
I’d love to write as little JavaScript as possible
#FreeSoftware
Absolutely not
Front-end #JavaScript frameworks
Please, boost this and ask around! Links to videos, tutorials, and resources are welcome.
People whose perspective I would really value: @zachleat @harryfk @deno_land @jaredwhite @vanillaweb @stefan @mxbck @WeirdWriter @deadsuperhero (Sorry if I am spamming you!)

I have been using a lot more apps from F-Droid store and oh there is so much to fucking love about #freesoftware. Yes, I understand that sometimes it may lack some flashy stuff and accessibility has a long way to go, judging by what blind folks say here. I wanted to make a thread of appreciation because they make me feel good. Also if you are in the US you may need some feel-good stuff now 🧵
#Bitwarden is no longer #freesoftware.
... and #Vaultwarden is doomed to become obsolete
So there isn't really anything more to do, except pack your things once more and find and alternative. That's what I did this afternoon, going back once more to #keepassxc which has greatly improved from the last time I used it, and it can leverage #Nextcloud to keep all my devices synced.
All in all it is a tedious process, but it prevents the mind from rusting too much and abandoning itself to being used to... Breaking things, changing habits, that's the way to do it, until you've got the energy for it.
I also expect that #Vaultwarden software will quickly gain technical debt and become obsolete, since it cannot use the new SDK.
Read the details here:
https://github.com/bitwarden/sdk/issues/898
...and here:
https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/issues/11611
1.2 "Bitwarden" means the Bitwarden software made available by the Company, available for download at the following URL, as updated from time to time.
1.3 A "Compatible Application" means any software program or service that (i) connects to and interoperates with a current version of the Bitwarden server
products distributed by the Company; and (ii) complies with the Company’s acceptable use policy available at the following URL: https://bitwarden.com/terms/#acceptable_use .
...
3.3 You may not use this SDK to develop applications for use with software other than Bitwarden (including non-compatible implementations of Bitwarden) or to develop another SDK.

RE: https://outmo.de/objects/4e3f11da-53cc-416c-8828-0aabf86b7ae0
As you're probably aware, the #English adjective "free" applied to software can be a bit ambiguous. It could either mean software respecting your freedoms ("#FreeSoftware"), or one that is available free of charge ("#freeware"). (Don't get me started on the assholes advertising demo or trial versions as "free software".) So, to disambiguate we sometimes use the term "libre", possibly as #FLOSS (free/libre open-source software).
Fortunately, we don't have this problem in #Polish. The "free of charge" meaning is translated into "darmowe" or "bezpłatne", while the other meaning goes as "wolne".
Well, except that "wolne" can also mean "slow". Which is fine, because I'm so tired of how fast things are moving. Let's make more "slow software".
Does anyone know of a #FOSS payment processor like PayPal or Venmo? It would be nice to run a small online business without having to use proprietary software for payments. #FreeSoftware #Software

30,000 PCs are moving from Microsoft Office to #LibreOffice in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. At the recent Univention Summit 2025, we met the people handling the migration: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/02/05/libreoffice-at-the-univention-summit-2025/ #foss #opensource #freesoftware
A ASCII art game that breaks with quite some conventions in a wonderful way. Instead of moving an @ through a maze of lines, it feels like moving through a strange, mysterious world ... a game with a limited, set scope, where the atmosphere and the fundamental idea of the game are much more important than the balance or the gameplay ... a parabola on life itself.

Pessoal dos BLAMERS, que que cês recomendam de gerador de site estático? Eu preciso de algo que suporte formulas em LaTeX e que tenha mais cara de homepage do que de blog ou documentação.
Uso SPHINX para as páginas das Disciplinas e comecei a usar o Nikola para a homepage/blog, mas não animei tanto com ele. Se for feito em python, é um plus.
