GNOME Games + GSoC project + GTK4 + 3d transform = awesome
dd mistery:
I have an iso file.
I flash the iso to a usb using dd.
In the usb there are now 2 partitions.
I make an md5sum of the iso file (let's say the output of the md5sum is X).
I make an md5sum of the FIRST partition, by doing "md5sum /dev/sdc1" and I get the same hash X.
How is it possible?
The iso apparently contains 2 partitions.
I made the md5sum of just 1 partition and I get the exact hash.
What?
Me yesterday: Yeah, it's awesome to use the bicycle to move around in the city.
Me today: *without bicycle because someone stole it while I was in a market*
Testing mastodon client for the librem 5
I managed to install GNOME builder on alpine linux using flatpaks... Flatpaks are really cool

This is awesome. NPR gave me a legitimate choice to accept their cookies and have a fancy experience or get the raw content I wanted with their text-only site.

If you want to backup your computer, I have to recommend Borg Backups.
I've just looked over it for work, and I'm left wondaring: why aren't the popular services getting these basics right?

@ranfdev was trying to reply to you but bitlbee was trying to respond to the deleted tweet. Anyway, Enlightment uses EFL, that, although seemingly an imperative-oop hybrid, is flexible and performant. It is not popular. Enlightenment has a scripting language that dwarfs Javascript in versatility in my opinion.

Medium is no longer offering new custom domains as a feature. Get your own domain name and install a self-hosted blog on it. Stay away from commercial and hosted platforms. That's the best way to be independent, decentralized and stay in control.
Will we ever see something like https://developer.apple.com/xcode/swiftui/ for native gtk (or qt) linux app development?

Where to Download the Millions of Free eBooks that Secretly Entered the Public Domain - VICE https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/kz4e3e/millions-of-books-are-secretly-in-the-public-domain-you-can-download-them-free
Mmm.... Maybe i've already shared this... Nevermind this needs more attention.
I don't know how to easily describe this...
You can have an account on a shared PC. Then you can ssh into it, or just use the services they provide: mastodon, peertube, irc, cryptpad, pleroma, minetest server, nextcloud, gopher... You name it

#Jellyfin is an amazing FLOSS fork of Emby, a previously open source media server that recently became proprietary. I set it up on a server with 1 GB of RAM and a single-core processor at 3.5 GHz and it runs *beautifully*. In addition to the web UI, there are clients for Android, Android TV, desktop, Kodi, and Mopidy as well as some deprecated apps that need some love 😉
With my quite terrible specs, Jellyfin will even transcode media from one resolution to a lower one in real time if you have bandwidth limits. I am *very* impressed and can't recommend it enough if you're looking for something like this.

Try antiX Linux.
It's damn small and fast.

It's so sad to see an old os running faster inside a virtual machine than your modern os on bare metal

They are doing a really nice work there!
