@atommac I use openwrt. It is easy to install and use. I think wolfgang made a video about cheap router hardware to use with openwrt.

re: diode zone, zfs
@scanlime Hey! I just want to thank you for maintaining diode.zone. I host my videos about free software there and Ive found the moderation to be great.


I really appreciate diode.zone

re: Mastodon / Twitter meta
@dougall Hey! Thats a really positive way to look at the fediverse and I hope you stay. Thanks for giving this a shot!

@proycon damn, im flying out for my convocation but im more excited to try this out.

@brecht I didnt realize that! I guess ya, Sxmo is a good gateway to contributing to the wider #Sxmo ecosystem. I hope it welcomes others to contribute to other FOSS projects too!

@brecht Thanks! We have a big community of contributors now. Glad you enjoy it!

Some things I might post about:

- Economic history and political economy ( )
- Classical Chinese philosophy and my struggle with the Chinese language in general ( )
- Open source software and my self-inflicted struggles with Linux-on-Mobile ( )
- Other stuff, probably

@brecht Hey! Welcome back. Ive stayed on fedi cause of the amazing foss projects Ive discovered on it. The influx of new users is exciting and I hope to see alot more humanities content on here. Thanks for giving it a shot and have fun!

@captainepoch Ya, I agree. Lets hope we are proven wrong =P

@captainepoch Ya, all manual. I guess you could write some aliases to automate some of the chained commands.

I hope git send-email gets a really good ui in sourcehut so most projects can just switch without any friction. Seeing a bunch of old remotes that have never been updated....it's all just noise on github.

@captainepoch I usually add a remote called upstream with the upstream repo and the origin remote is my fork. When/If I contribute again, I just do a git pull origin master/main before branching my change.

@soller @system76 @pop_os_official Hi! Welcome to the fediverse. I have found so many cool FOSS projects here. Excited to see you here!

Just played the new #rimworld biotech expansion with the multiplayer mod that was just updated: https://rimworldmultiplayer.com/post/22_11_06_14andbiotech/


It's so good! The multiplayer mod and rimworld devs did an amazing job.

@farooqkz If email is federated then paste.sr.ht is a federated alternative to github gist.

@g I self-learned how to self host OSS. The biggest advice I can give you is: use the stuff you selfhost and get others to use it. This can be hard considering you may not be able to make it reliable. However, you will run into bugs, run into issues when upgrading, and you will learn how the technical aspects work. You learn by fixing. If you want to run into more issues, test the master branch of a piece of software (ie. prosody). When you find a bug, submit a bug report and patch.

@RL_Dane 3. check out xtools by leah. I used that on void to automate alot of the stuff with xbps-src.

@RL_Dane

1. Is xbps-src like the AUR?

Similar to the AUR in that binary packages that void doesnt want to carry in the binary repos are available. All the package recipes are checked by the distro maintainers to ensure theyre up to par. This is unlike the AUR where arch maintainers dont really check the recipes. See discord:

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/7a40c5d2d1e01a7403bfc41ceed40293be973c03/srcpkgs/discord/template

2. web search engine would be github

@JustineSmithies I would ask #postmarketos about fairphone 4. fairphone 4 sounds good cause it's repairable and unlocking the bootloader might be easier. I love my poco f1 - it's my daily driver. calls (except for dtmf tones. but a fix has been merged into modemmanager. it just has to be released), sms, and data all work. You can check out my blog for a review.

@martijnbraam

Thanks for clarifying heh. You're right

In my email on the mailing list, I clarified that the compiler backend used by hare (qbe) does not have 32-bit support. I thought anyone interested in fixing would read the mailing list post. Mastodon doesnt have enough characters and I was trying to make it look short and sweet.
