The Elecrow CrowBot Bolt! An #opensource robot that runs on #Arduino, #esp32, and #Linux! https://youtu.be/nWA9-ZJyVZA

@hund sadly I’m often one of these, I’m not big@on coffee or tea, so”cokes” are my caffeine. I have started drinking the zero types for no sugar though.

Going Analog this week with my #OpenSource board game. Forking Warp! It's simple and fun! Check it out! https://youtu.be/osISaDD8r4s

So many people are joining Mastodon and missing one crucial step: verifying your account!

You might think, “I’m not important, why should I care?” Think about it as a way to protect anyone who follows you. Consider:

1. Someone sets up an account claiming to be you, automatically grabbing real posts from somewhere else

2. They get a bunch of followers

3. They post, “really struggling this month, a little could go a long way” with a link to Cash App

How would any followers know it was a scam?

@sentinel65 @soapbox will definitely do that.

@sentinel65 I really appreciate that!

Pleroma - your doorway to the #Fediverse. Run along side #Mastodon, #Peertube, #Pixelfed, and more. Runs on #Docker, and #Linux, of course! https://youtu.be/ufVMqBToGno

If you're confused about #linux systems like #fedora #silverblue or #opensuse microos they have public channels and forums that you can participate in to ask questions and find information. And in many cases you have access to the experts who work on the stuff! Or just ask someone who has experience with it.

Places like r/linux are inaccurate and overrun by people who have strong opinions about things they don't understand, which we know is par for the course but particularly bad recently.

Less than a month left to go for our 2022 membership campaign. Help us reach our goal! #JoinOSI

https://opensource.org/membership-benefits

Google sponsors OSI since the early '00s because OSI preserves Open Source.

I have been working diligently on getting #pfSense to be my main Firewall with #DD-WRT as my APs using tagged #VLAN and I've got it up and running! it's #opensource, #selfhosted, and running on #BSD, #Linux and #Awesomeness! https://youtu.be/Mu5V5VoRD7c

Digital Ocean, provider of some of the most helpful tech tutorials around, just published one for how to set up #mastodon !

I wish this had existed before I stood up my own instance, but now it'll help others.

Shoutout to all the #activityPub developers that are dealing with this huge influx of people!

I have the unique privilege of running the only non-mastodon instance (https://pixelfed.social) among the top 20 most popular #fediverse instances.

Doing my best to keep it running smoothly, and also ship bug fixes, new features and the mobile apps 😅

Normalise being wrong. Normalise admitting to mistakes and changing your opinion as you learn more. It's how we learn. It's part of being human.

@caseyliss 100% agree, and if you would like to, you can run the open source version, pertained-ce, at no cost with as many containers and nodes on Lorraine’s agent as you want or need. It’s great to support them, however, as it makes the open source version stay open.
