Hey lovely Keila users! I’m currently re-doing the website and would like to add some more quotes from Keila users. If you’d consider giving a testimonial, send me a pm 💚
(Thanks to André at @brinjel for adding the first new testimonial)
Say you wanted to spin up an internationalist, remote-first, tech-worker collective, but then you think about bureaucracy and The Fear stops you in your tracks.
Is there a procedural, flow-chart like resource out there?
No matter if you host your own copy of GitLab Software or use GitLab's servers directly, you should enable 2-step Verification - NOW (right now, do not wait). There is a current exploit that allows someone to hijack GitLab Accounts, who are not using 2-step verification.
The state of Schleswig-Holstein in #Germany has renewed their de-Microsoft efforts by announcing that they will be switching the state administration's approximately 30,000 employee's PCs to #FLOSS solutions and moving towards “digitally sovereign IT workplaces”.
This was agreed upon by the state's cabinet, who have decided to replace Microsoft Office with #LibreOffice as the first of six key pillars that are part of their digitally sovereign IT workplace plan.

Hey #journalists if you're going to use an open source project as an example of a hack, can you at least let them know in advance you're about to do something reckless so they can prepare?
The "intro to py5 and python tutorials" have coding challenges at the end of each of them, but there is no answer key. Would you like to help us contributing with this educational materials?
Trying out #VSCodium it's a fork of VSCode's source code, it's #FLOSS and comes without data collection and other proprietary code from Microsoft. It's avaible for Windows, Linux and MacOS :3
So far it's pretty great, it gives you a guide on how to transfer your #VSCode settings, extensions and Co. and also let's u use VSCode's Extension Marketplace if you prefer it over the #opensource one. Only thing which I miss is a way to sync 🥲, but thats fine.
Pipe Viewer - pv - is a terminal-based tool for monitoring the progress of data through a Unix pipeline. It can be inserted into any normal pipeline between two processes to give a visual indication of how quickly data is passing through, how long it has taken, how near to completion it is, and an estimate of how long it will be until completion.
This release adds a new SI units feature supplied by Kevin Ruddy, incorporates French translations supplied by Thomas Bertels, and fixes bugs with TMPDIR support and blocking output.
PV uses the resources of the @Codeberg platform for free software development.
The plotting, statistical, and data selection tools in the mapdata.py data explorer (https://pypi.org/project/mapdata/) can be used even if you don't have any map data. Just add dummy latitude and longitude values to the data table. Zeroes will do. The map and the dummy columns can both be hidden, and you can then explore the data table with the other available tools.
I have a #CalDAV server running on my NAS. I want to access the calendars on it from #GNOME Calendar. How to achieve this? I haven't found anything neither in Calendar itself nor in "Online Accounts" section in the Settings.
I found an old blog post from 2016 mentioning having to install #Evolution to do this:
Wir feiern am heutigen Tag unseren 9. Geburtstag. 🎉 Doch möchten wir dieses Jahr nicht uns in den Mittelpunkt stellen, sondern 9 Softwareprojekte, ohne die unsere Arbeit so nicht möglich wäre. Darunter befinden sich Anwendungsprogramme, welche auf den von uns herausgegebenen Rechnern vorinstalliert sind, aber auch Werkzeuge, die wir intern im Verein für den Instandsetzungsprozess benötigen.
I was thinking specifically of the #xz Utils incident when I wrote this weeks column calling for an #opensource tax credit for developers.
“A 2024 Harvard study valued [open source software] at $8.8 trillion.
A software project may be initially undertaken by a single developer as a hobbyist project, but … maintenance and security updates require long-term commitments, often by an entire community of developers.”
The second maintenance release of the 24.02 series is out with performance optimizations when moving clips in the timeline and across multiple project bins, packaging improvements to macOS and Windows versions and fixes to copy/paste of effects, rotoscoping, Nvidia encoding among others.
