Hoje eu aprendi que, com OpenSSH, basta um mero ssh -D 9999 -N destino — ou com autossh se quiser retomar automaticamente a conexão que cair — para poder usar a porta local (9999 no exemplo) como SOCKS proxy saindo pela máquina destino especificada!

Vivendo e aprendendo, temos que tirar o chapéu também para o pessoal do #OpenBSD que presenteia o mundo ao desenvolver essa maravilha.

📌 Pinned Post

I'm an anarcho-syndicalist non-binary person who uses they/them pronouns, is bisexual, from Bergen, Norway, and whose posts automatically delete after seven days regardless of likes or boosts, because I have autism and say random shit sometimes.

I talk allot about free software, and I use Secureblue, GrapheneOS and Debian as part of my software setup. I also spend a lot of time experimenting with Linux, especially Debian Testing/Sid, GNOME, and KDE.

As an anarcho-syndicalist, I encourage you to check out NSF-IAA, the sole remaining anarcho-syndicalist organization in Norway that has been actively upholding these principles since 1916.

I maintain several pages and resource documents related to left-wing Anarchist reading below.

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

Eu não preciso esperar algum serviço como substituto de software (SaaSS) de Big Tech me oferecer estatísticas sobre o que ouvi durante o ano. @ListenBrainz, que posso usar a partir do servidor da própria Fundação @metabrainz ou auto-hospedar, disponibiliza-me (ou a quem quiser) essas informações quando eu quiser. Não apenas o software é livre (GPLv2+) como reúne dados abertos. :thinkSmart:

The platform never aligned with our values and no longer serves as a space for communication. What initially intended to be a place for dialogue and information exchange has turned into a centralised arena of hostility, misinformation, and profit-driven control, far removed from the ideals of freedom we stand for.

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!)

#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

Arcane Cache: Review to Glittering Light 2

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.

What's a good #FreeSoftware pastebin? #AskFedi

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.
