free/libre software, open data, open standards activist with a grudge against big tech, big IP holders and authoritarian governments.

I'm actively trying to stop the suffering of the animals and the global collapse of our ecosystem.

In addition I'm also a bicycle enthusiast. The bicycle is one of the most energy efficient ways of transportation and as far as I'm concerned the most fun way.

For all people here that use and Lyrion Music Server. There is a community firmware update for Squeezebox Radio, Touch and Controller. I wrote a blogpost why and how to update to the latest version: 8.5.0.

@simon That's sad indeed. Could it be that the power supply is broken or is it the player itself?

@simon I know the barrel connector is a known weak point of the Squeezebox Radio. On the plus side the Radio is pretty accessible and modular which increases the chances of a successful repair. There is a good diassembly video on YT but you've probably seen that.

Hey Community,
what's your current favorite CAD tool/framework for 2.5D (as in lasercutter or simple wood sheet CNC) ?
Preferably for linux or web :3

@bleeptrack My vote goes to Solvespace. The reason that I always come back to it is that it's so easy to use.

@deadsuperhero Does that mean you'll move away from Liberapay?

With squeezebox.com permanently closed it's actually a great time to buy a device and run it on your own server. I noticed that a lot of people are currently selling their devices against great prices.

@simon Squeezebox Touch: 50 euro or less.
Squeezebox Radio: 25 or less.

Setting up a server is not hard. A Raspberry Pi and a little knowledge of the terminal is all that's needed. A larger storage device is also needed if you want to store your own music.

Here is a step-by-step instruction that I wrote: https://homehack.nl/creating-a-raspberry-pi-squeezebox-server/

Oh, Zot! Nomadic Identity is Coming to ActivityPub: This could change the Fediverse forever

Years before there was Mastodon and even ActivityPub, there was Mike Macgirvin who created the Zot protocol, which Hubzilla runs on. One of Hubzilla’s most amazing features (apart from also integrating with Activity and the Fediverse, and having cha ...continues

@rasterweb What tool did you use?

Printing some dinos for friends of ours. I'm using Polymax PLA which is very strong but always posed a bit of problem to get the support from the print. With the MK4 that has become much easier.

#3dprinting #prusa

Prusa MK4 printing a green model of a T-Rex with a lot of support.
