Parcel is a great project. It replaced a lot of clutter for me, was fast and relatively easy to use.

I have used compact Brunnen calendars for many years. The amount of thought put into details of the information printed inside is astonishing. https://www.brunnen.de/kalender

I, for one, naturally lost interest and stopped using it many years ago and deleted completey last year, along with Instagram and many other social platforms.

Thousand times this. The biggest mistake my parents made, was giving up on their mother tongue to help me learn a language they were not fluent in. I did not learn the new language from them, I learned it from school, reading books, movies

As a person who selfhost a lot, I'd guess the advice in the article targets individual and communities first and foremost, not commercial entities.

I wish we had a set of SI units for measuring performance such as transactions per second, so that people could stick to that when talking about perf.

I run znc on my server and Revolution IRC on my android phone and couldn't be happier about it.

I can think of certain things here. As human beings we have limitations. We get tired of gazing at code, GPLE'ed or not. GitHub's clusters don't. It puts fair use of copyrighted content under question. The next concern I have

GitHub's Copilot looks like a "code laundering" machine to me.

fwiw, I'm using postfix, dovecot and rspamd for a year now and it is working like charm ever since. However, gmx.de rejected emails due to reverse dns issues.

I can only second this. I entered software because I enjoyed making things with little computing devices. It was unlocking many new possibilities compared to a non-IT job that I could never do otherwise, since we had not much resources in o

I'm glad that you are happy with your setup. Every one of us is so special that there could be no one size fits all solution. The reason I started going back to bash and to some extent POSIX shell is a simple question which I nowadays

I did myself a favour, and instead of learning a new shell read through grymoire's POSIX shell tutorial: https://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sh.html .

This reminded me of the Opal incident: https://github.com/opal/opal/issues/941 . Regardless of the letter, I have a little story to add. I first heard of RMS back when I was living in an isolated land on this

I assume you mean free software? Since sourcehut is intentionally a paid service for hosting content, albeit free during beta and for contributors.

It's a while I've switched to sourcehut and learned the email workflow for the first time. It was easier than I thought, and I am very pleased with the outcome. Perhaps leaving megacorp mail clients behind had helped me to embrace

Totally agree. Had they made a real change that actually mattered, all this time spent on discussing this rename, could have been put into better use. They created buzz, changed nothing.

Would they open it to a country such as Iran? It will disrupt censorship and access contol efforts of the government. I read the gov have recently assembled a task force to find a "solution" for this upcoming problem. I'd gue

To be honest, I have pinned some pine store links and refresh them everyday to buy as soon as there is new stock! I'm happily using Pinebook Pro as my portable device and have Pinephone with PostmarketOS which with everything working.

TL;DR Just played Cyberpunk 2077 with no glich on Sway and Wayland on Arch Linux last night for almost two hours. I am embracing Wayland and wlroot-based desktops. It is simpler, faster, and fits easier in my head. Forgot to mention that I

The only reason they push for their apps is showing hard to remove ads and harvesting more data. I stick to Firefox, ublock and adaway root.

It is not necessarily about illegal torrents. There are some niche files such old movies that you wouldn't find anywhere to let you watch it where you live. I used to torrent some, just to keep it alive and prevent such works from disa

fwiwi, I use Firefox's bookmarking only. When bookmarking, I add some keyword tags to it though. Later, it would be only a matter of typing _* keywords_ in the address bar.

I think your analogy fails in many ways. In the real world one will notice law-enforcement breaking into their ranch, in the virtual world, they won't (and comparing growing marijuana to voice/video over Zoom is wrong). In the rea
