From: @podfeet - @bart is enamored with the open source shell from Microsoft called #PowerShell. He was so excited to tell us about it his post got quite long so we broke Tidbit 11 into two halves. We should be able to record part 2 soon, but you can read ahead in the shownotes if you’re game.

Ps: a copy, so I can pin it
Little Bits: Issue #20
A new year is well underway, but it’s not too late to unwrap over 100 interesting bits from the month of December for your reading pleasure in this new issue.
Hello! We never did a proper #introduction.
We're an #OpenSource and #NonProfit #research, #design and #development organisation, based in #Cornwall in the UK. We actually care about stuff, and mostly work on #environment, #climate and #social projects.
We're all a bit #generalist, and many of our projects are rooted in rural issues, rather than being city-centric. Always open to collabs.
Most of us are on here: @nebogeo @amberfirefly @yaxu @cassandreces and @kanderson_rs

Denmark's open source move could be a game-changer!
I love open source, and I want young people to know there’s a career path outside of #FAANG. Open source can be financially sustainable—it just gets super hard if one of your key goals is making your investors even richer. #Conversations_im is about the same age as #Matrix. I never took VC funding, and I’m doing fine.
It isn’t a sprint; it’s a marathon—Daniel’s experience with Djangonaut Space says it all. 💜
Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, we have space for everyone passionate about #OpenSource, #Django, or #Python. 🚀
To become a #Djangonaut, apply here: https://djangonaut.space/sessions/2025-session-4/
We've gotten some requests saying it would be cool if #Pixelix was available in multiple languages. 🌍✨
Of course we are listening to your feedback! We have set up a #Crowdin project for the app where everyone can contribute. 🤝
Let's do this together! 🎉
Hey everyone, we just released Pidgin 2.14.14! Downloads are available in the normal spots but check out release announcement on our discourse!

📢 The UK Online Safety Act claims another victim: Haiku OS community forums
From March 2025, UK users will lose access to Haiku's forums due to the unsustainable legal requirements of the new Online Safety Act. Small open-source communities shouldn't have to choose between legal risks and serving their users.
Read more about this concerning development and its implications for open source communities:

My latest blog post: VanSpoof - Prototype 2 - Echo Firmware
https://mikecoats.com/van-spoof-prototype-2-firmware-1/
In part 1 and part 2 of building my first VanSpoof prototype, I managed to flash the microcontroller on the PCB with a blinky demo. This time round, let's see about sending and receiving some serial data.

My latest blog post: Next Trains
https://mikecoats.com/next-trains/
My two-year-old loves trains so any time we can swing past the station and see them is worth the detour. This web app displays the next few arrivals and departures to help us schedule a visit. It's also my first time publishing code as a package on PyPI.
Folks don't understand how open source contributions work. If you want a feature, you don't come and say "make me this feature". Instead, you open a PR and ask for it to get merged.
Folks don't understand how community conferences work. If you want something to happen in the conference, you don't come and say "make this happen for me". Instead, you say "I want to volunteer and do this for your conference".

New day, new post 🚀

Little Bits: Issue #21 for January 2025
Race on over to read the latest instalment of Little Bits issue #21 for January 2025 to explore the largest collection of discovered bits to date.
I've managed to essentially switch my entire workflow to Open-Source. Here's a page created to share the tools I use: https://johnoestmannmusic.com/tooling/
✅ Mastodon är nu iordningställt så att jag kan rikta om till att använda som bra integrerad del i mitt flöde.
Jag har två konton, detta för allt som inte har med nörda i #FOSS och annat om hur #OpenSource fungerar. Se profilen för mer om det.
För mig är det en bra uppdelning. Tänk utifrån här fokuserar jag på att sambubbla tillsammans med er, medan på det andra mer samgrubbla om utveckla för kunna skapa än smartare användbarhet. En för mig bra uppdelning som underlättar för två så olika fokus.
Contrary to popular belief, "grep" doesn't actually stand for "global regular expression print." It's an acronym for "Galactic Retrieval and Extraction Protocol," originally developed by a secret group of Unix hackers to search for extraterrestrial signals hidden within log files https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-use-grep-command-in-linux-unix/
Mozilla CEO made around 7 million USD last year, but hosting bills are pending. Now, they updated the ToS, and you can't watch p0rn, or your data will be sold, or they no longer care about the orignal mission, etc. Once again, we see C-suits lose their grip on reality. As long as they are getting paid in millions, software projects can go to /dev/null. It is like they want to ruin the project on purpose. There is no other explanation I can think of. Can you?
