New update coming soon!
It will include the usual performance improvements and bug fixes. As a new feature #PowerAmpache2 will have a configurable disc cache for played music (in the previous versions songs are refetched every time, unless downloaded, even if they've been played recently).

New blogpost: "Installing Stirling-PDF for a suite of useful self-hosted, PDF-related tools"

I wrote this in November 2024 but, for some reason, I didn’t publish it. Oops.

END OF 10

"Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025.

Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer.

But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

If you bought your computer after 2010, there's most likely no reason to throw it out. By just installing an up-to-date GNU/Linux operating system you can keep using it for years to come.

Installing an OS may sound difficult, but you don't have to go it alone! With any luck, there are people in your area ready to help!"

Me: Hey everyone, how do you do random?

Gatekeeper: You do not.

Me: Well, I am sure there is away, and I really would like to do random.

Gatekeeper: I am sure there is a way too, but that is not the way.

Me: Well, perhaps it is not the way for you, but I really do want to do random.

Gatekeeper: Linux is not Windows, and you should use the terminal and this long, complicated, boring, time-consuming method. It is the way!

Me: OK, well, I am glad you like to do it that way, but I just am asking for anyone to please point me in the right direction to do random, and am not trying to debate anything.

Gatekeeper: No one will help you. It is not the Linux way.

Me: Never mind, I found out how to do it myself. If anyone wants to do random, it is actually easy, and I should have seen it right away. All you need to do is X, Y, Z, and that works. I hope this information is helpful to someone.

Super Gatekeeper: We have removed your content because it is inappropriate to the way.

#Linux #Foss #OpenSource

Self-interest is part of Nature. Common interest can be addressed where self-interest is fulfilled.

#FOSS projects should be self-interested enough to sustain their own project. And maintainers should not consider contributions by others as expected gifts. A contribution constitutes a 'value payment', an investment, and it is not a logical reward for earlier work of the FOSS maintainers.

This perspective on self-interest may help make FOSS more inclusive, and able to live up to expectations.

We're delighted to welcome on board 11 #FOSS projects that will contribute to the 3 NGI Pilot programmes.
Mobifree (liberating the mobile landscape) will get support from F-Droid, FindMyDevice, Unexpected Keyboard & Solid Digital Wallet.
Taler (Privacy-preserving digital payments) is helped by Taler-Dolibarr Integration, Contributron, xBSD & TalerPHP.
And Fediversity (building the future's hosting stack) will be strengthened by bewCloud & SelfPrivacy.

My goal is to overcome the gatekeeping some people have with Linux.

It will always be to overcome the gatekeeping.

42 Free & Open Source projects will receive grants to reclaim the public nature of the internet from the NGI0 Commons Fund.
There were many applicants & it's wonderful to see the number of people working on digital commons, inventing & improving technologies to the benefit of all humanity.
We'd like to take this space to thank *all* applicants for their contributions to an internet for people rather than for profit.
Come meet the new projects! https://nlnet.nl/news/2025/20250422-announcement-grants-CommonsFund.html

my adventures in #selfhosting - day 126 (good luck charm edition) ​

Good morning Fedi friends!

Yesterday I flew back to Paris and I’m spending the week at my in-laws' with my extended family… my little one still has one more week of school holidays. Working is a little difficult with so many people around (especially children) but I have a lofty goal for today: upgrading my VPS and installing #PeerTube.

The 22nd of the month has been my good luck charm in my self-hosting adventures. I installed #GoToSocial (this account) via #YunoHost on December 22nd, 2024. I successfully installed #Ghost on my Ubuntu VPS with command lines on February 22, 2025. Because of that, I will be saving 30€/month…

So in the spirit of #FOSS exploration, I find it fitting to upgrade my VPS today on April 22… and - my oh my! - install PeerTube via YunoHost… so that I can self-host my upcoming videos about the Fediverse.

The children are playing in the garden and I have about 30 minutes to do all that. Wish me luck!

From the upcoming version 1.4, the #FlatPress blogging engine will be available in Turkish.

The second part about AI coding, after @strk provocation.

Just #donate 'd to 11 #foss projects, despite my irregular income ( #artist #life ). Besides money it also did cost some time due to so many different #donation platforms, unfortunately.

I'll try to list the projects as accounts or at least a tag (not all are on Mastodon, unfortunately).

Wow so French and German government agencies are building a joint #opensource, self-hostable #GoogleDocs replacement.

I would ofc prefer this being built by someone independent and *funded* by the public, but hell this does feel cool nevertheless:
