I started home-serving with #Freedombox.
I owe it's community a lot, especially when overcoming the difficult parts of my learning curve.

For me, hosting a home server means independence and self-sustainability. Away from prying eyes and not chained to the industry.

Freedombox is a #free (as in freedom) server software package bundled with lots of apps.

They already had an SBC in the market, now they're out with something with greater capacity.

Check it out and (please) consider showing support to Freedombox and all free software.

Remember when #Firefox used to come with an integrated video calling service called Firefox Hello? :gutkato_3c:

Now they’re offering their users #Amazon giftcards in exchange for taking a survey over #Zoom. :gutkato_malgaja:

So you run non-free software in order to connect to an unethical service so you can go shopping at an unethical company. To be fair though, they also promote the alternative option of sending you money directly via an unethical payment processor. What can I say? Thanks for improving Firefox. :gutkato_dikfingro_supren:

@kirschner @fsfe

Thank you 🙏 so much for your kind words and appreciation.

We are truly grateful for the effort and energy you have put into promoting #free_software and translating this book.

We are delighted to hear that your members in Iran are so eager to receive the physical copies of the book and to host its related events.
Such initiatives are undoubtedly valuable steps towards spreading the culture of free software in the region.

Your noble goal and the profound motivation of you and your fellow volunteers to promote #free_software, along with your pursuit of officially establishing the Free Software Foundation Persian (#fsfp) are truly admirable and commendable.
I wish you constant success and stability in this important and impactful journey.

I hate it. It ruined me...

So now there are two #MinetestCTF codebases. The original #CTF by rubenwardy was forked at one point, and #JMA was created.

Now me trying to contribute to both codebases... a real nightmare. I opened a PR on JMA first:

https://github.com/Minetest-JMA-group/jma-capturetheflag/pull/101

Then I thought let's do git format-patch and create some patches to apply to main CTF using git am but no. Heck no. The files have diverged. So applying a patch is not automatic and straightforward. alright alright I can take it. Let's apply the patches manually...

Once I did, I realized I had to change something. Updating the patches for JMA then for main CTF. Okay they should be fine now. I still can do it.

Now I realized the code needs a refactor because now there are 2 mods which depend on each other and this is not allowed.

Heck no!

I do wish developers of JMA and also developer of main CTF would come to a common ground. Otherwise, I cannot contribute to both codebases like this while they have diverged so much.

Do you know any app or #Android to block spam calls and messages through an #opensource and #decentralized network? It could be something like #mastodon and #fediverse which we have.

For instance, I block a number and report as spam. Anyone who wishes to, can follow me and block numbers which I block. So if a number calls me or messages me to spam, once I block them, they cannot call the ones who follow me.

Also I follow other people. I think this can be made on the top of #activitypub or #mastodon.

Nous faisons notre possible pour que les créateurs que nous accompagnons soient autonomes avec les outils que nous leur mettons entre les mains, que ce soit en soutien à leur projet ou dans le cadre d'une formation.

Un des enjeux pour y parvenir est l'interface utilisateur. Nous avons récemment largement amélioré l'interface de notre outil de mapping vidéo, Splash, pour rendre son utilisation plus naturelle. C'est donc l'occasion de montrer son évolution depuis ses débuts, en 2013, en quelques images !

تجربیاتی که از اولین مشارکتم در یک پروژه نرم افزار آزاد کسب کردم ۱

#LibrePlanet event from #ShirazLinux in #Shiraz, #Iran is over. I enjoyed most lectures and also the LAN party. There weren't many people participating at the our #Luanti LAN party. I think not more than 10. But the ones who participated, were active and interested. We didn't have a #hackathon as participants weren't ready for that. But I showed them the code, told them about Luanti and #Lua and explained part of the code such as landmine code, parts of spike code and I think I also explained parts of chest code to them.

It seems that their fear was gone after I walked them through the code and told them about different features needed in the game. Some were thinking to do PRs after this. I reminded them that there are some very simple but very wanted features they could add with very few lines of code. I also introduced them the #JMA server.

Let's hope we will get some hands in #MinetestCTF and also a bigger player base :)

BTW, I carried a pack of 3.5" floppy disks to gift to people under 18 there. But at the LAN party, everyone were above 18. So I'm returning all floppy disks back home XD

Maybe I had to increase the minimum age requirement? Anyway, next time I'm loading the floppies with FreeDOS and digger game. Rather than giving away raw floppies.

As it turns out, I still can’t exactly recommend XMPP as a communication platform. I know a lot of people here on the Fediverse like and even prefer it to other platforms like Matrix, but it just doesn’t work reliably for me. Not years ago and not now. :gutkato_disokula:

I just opened the XMPP client on my other device, navigated to a public room (group chat) I’m a part of, and the last three days’ worth of messages didn’t show up. Why? I don’t know. :gutkato_averto:

This room’s information says it should be ‘Persistent’ and ‘Archiving’. Maybe the messages are archived, but not shared to all of the room members’ devices. Maybe the room needs an extra setting to do that. Or maybe it already does that, but only if the client and the server both support XMPP Extension number 4,872 (Self-Propagating Persistent Messages, version 2). :gutkato_ŝultrumas:

It could just be this one room. It could be that the there are better clients that would inform me about this missing feature, but this one doesn’t. But as it stands, I apparently can’t just use XMPP and trust I’ll get to see the messages people sent me. With Matrix, I can. Sure, there might be a problem with encryption, but at least I’ll know someone tried to say something. :gutkato_ĝengrimacas:

The route humanity has chosen about #AI is a dangerous one. When my #wakegp research is done, I will write a post about how AI must be if it wants to serve people and not big heads. Now software freedom is not enough anymore. I hope as I move forward, I find other likeminded people to join me in my R&D projects. In the last 2 years it has been just me.
