Twitter needs to make it so that creating a new account ending in 8 random numbers just goes straight to the trash

I beat the Solidworks Model Mania 2020 part in #FreeCAD 0.19 in less than 4 minutes. Awesome what free software can do... @yorikvanhavre@twitter.com @thekurtwk@twitter.com @FreeCADNews@twitter.com

Have you ever heard of @kdecommunity@twitter.com 's Kaffeine? It's a simple media player with excellent digital TV streaming & recording support. A ~$20 DVB USB antenna gets me more than 20 free channels here in Austin.

So apparently Fedora 31 has no docker support anymore, due to lack of cgroups v1. Do you know if docker plans to support cgroups v2? If not, this is going to be a dead end for docker :S
The public transportation system in Texas is so sad. Three hours to drive between Austin and Dallas, six hours by train. One train per direction per day, leaving Austin at 9 AM and Dallas at 12 PM for 3 PM and 6 PM arrivals respectively.

#FreeIPA has a lot features. Do you know about freeipa-workshop? I added a new lesson to it about Kerberos ticket policies yesterday: https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa-workshop/blob/master/11-kerberos-ticket-policy.rst
Since I'm banned from http://reddit.com/r/cad does anyone feel like posting this Google Summer of Code BRL-CAD org there? https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/4880744230420480/ Would be good to get the word out. There are several projects besides FreeCAD participating together.
The most interesting thing about the FreeCAD project is that its scope is so big (design, engineering, & manufacturing) it's beyond the ability of "individuals"--it's not just quaternions, but community that will get us there. An open, global, engineering community of practice.

This sculpture at the Tate Modern blew my mind this week. It's a wire sculpture inspired by the International Space Station that functions as an antenna for a ham radio. Twice a day it plays live audio and data transmissions from the ISS as it passes overhead.

FreeCAD is participating in Google Summer of Code again this year! I'm looking for a motivated student looking to contribute to almost any area of FreeCAD.

Non-uniform B-splines functions are smooth piecewise polynomial functions, which can be generalized to rational functions by weighting (NURBS). The backbone of computer aided geometric design and extensively used in computer graphics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-uniform_rational_B-spline

Did you know FreeCAD does not have @ReproBuilds@twitter.com? That's right, it produces 7 Debian binary packages and if you build twice & compare checksums, only 1/7 match! Well, I just figured out how to get that up to 4/7 thanks to some tips from FOSDEM. Too bad a PySide 2 issue blocks 7/7.
OpenSSH 8.2 released, w/ important notice: "It is now possible[1] to perform chosen-prefix attacks against the SHA-1 algorithm for less than USD$50K. For this reason, we will be disabling the "ssh-rsa" public key signature algorithm by default in a near-future release."
Just got #LXD working on my @thepine64@twitter.com Pinebook Pro! Requires Ubuntu 18.04 image & the .deb package, not the snap. The power of system containers & an arm64 dev laptop! Gonna make an X11 LXD profile so I can run my KDE & FreeCAD dev environment inside a Debian Unstable container.
