Hi guys, I want to give something back (in terms of money) to FOSS projects/devs/teams. There are lots of options like LibrePay, direct donation via PayPal, Crypto and so on....

Yesterday, there was a live scheduled by Louis Grossman, titled “Addressing futo license drama! Let’s see if I get fired…”. I was unable to watch it live, but now the stream seems to be gone from YouTube....

First, some background -...

I recently came across openSUSE again and decided to give it a try this time. I am daily driving Fedora 40 right now and before coming across openSUSE I wanted to switch to Fedora Kinoite or uBlue Aurora (i.e., immutable / atomic).

I had to enter another character or move the cursor or do something else before it would take another backspace. I don’t understand how this...

I’ve used Windows Firewall for my whole life but I’m curious if anyone has any recommendations for a solid FOSS replacement. I do still use Windows on one of my systems on a daily basis but I always try to replace as much as possible with FOSS alternatives....

Hi, I tried to migrate my pixelfed account to a different server using aliases as the instructions described. It redirects, but no posts or follows have come over, and it’s been over 24 hours. Sending a DM to admin doesn’t seem to work. Does anyone know if it’s backed up right now over people being frustrated with...

I am very out of the loop with related recent tech, but once in a while i wish i had subtitles for internet clips, and i understand there’s good tech out there for this these days. Is there something i can download in a typical headless Debian machine that i can then point at some MP4 clip to get subtitles? Even if imperfect...
