im using lineageOS soa the default apps are pretty okay already, but i was just looking on f-droid and found something called DresSecureComms and it looked pretty good, but i just wanted to know if it actually makes a difference

thank guy

Edit: Thanks for the responses everyone. Seems it was too good to be true.

The phone looks interesting abut the other devices almost look too good to be true, like potential vaporware.

This is a little bit of a wall of text but I hope it will be a nice sample for such a setup.

Where does everyone go for open source satellite imagery?

Why jump from 10.11.11 directly to 12.0? -> Blog Post

You can find more details about and discuss this release on the official forums.

As always, please ensure you stop your Jellyfin server and take a full backup of your metadata/configs before upgrading!

Direct upgrades from 10.10.7 and 10.11.x to 12.0 are supported; intermediate upgrades are not required. Users running releases older than 10.10.7 are strongly encouraged to upgrade to 10.10.7 before migrating to 12.0.

Installed repository plugins (anything not built-in) should also be removed before migrating. Plugins will likely need time to adapt to the new database changes, so re-adding them afterward is the safest approach for testing.

Official plugins compatible with Jellyfin are available through the stable plugin repository. If you have changed to the unstable plugin repository please change it back.

Go to Dashboard -> Plugins -> Manage Repositories
Update the Plugin Repository URL to: https://repo.jellyfin.org/files/plugin/manifest.json

After migrating please perform the following steps.

Perform a full library scan to restore alternative versions
Run the "Optimize database" scheduled task

Built with LangChain, Chroma, and Ollama. Hybrid database (vector + BM25 index) and embedding generation run fully locally. Answer generation can run either via a local LLM or remotely using an API key. raggy supports most common document formats and handles images/scans automatically via OCR.

They make FOSS clients for many prop things, why can I find nothing on WA?

Are there any copyleft/open source projects that you would recommend contributing to? Are there any projects that directly support leftist causes/goals? (Ex: Housing, Climate Change, Prison Abolition, Unions/Co-ops, Anti-🧊, Mutual Aid, etc.) This is not an exhaustive list at all.

This year I decided to switch my “default license” to EUPL-1.2. This is an OSI-approved free software license created and published by the European Union. And it is quite a divergence from the licenses I’ve used in the past. EUPL is a strong copyleft license that closes the “SaaS loophole” by requiring reciprocal licensing regardless of how the software is distributed.

Over the years it has been clear that we in the “open source” camp (as opposed to the “free software” camp) were wrong all along.

We won the debate, and gained little for users or developers. All that our efforts did was to make it easier for big corporations build things more cheaply and for billionaires to become trillionaires.

And so it is time to stop messing about with permissive licenses. If corporations don’t want to use our software under our terms, they are free to spend the effort or tokens to build their own.

I love the Fediverse -- don't get me wrong--, but the fact that Lemmy was built atop a profile-oriented streaming stack, and that server moderators get to decide what servers your personal identity gets to interact with, doesn't sit right with me.

On a whim, a moderator could decide to defederate with one of your favorite servers for no reason at all.

I'm envisioning a server that authenticates you to other servers, accepts notifications to your personal inbox, and hosts its own forums.

One that can whitelist acceptable authentication servers, but doesn't restrict the notifications to your inbox. And doesn't restrict you from signing in elsewhere.

💻 I came across OpenClaude-Portable and I like the idea mostly because it reduces repeated setup.

It packages an AI coding agent into a self-contained folder and supports 9 providers, including Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama and LM Studio.

Settings, API keys and sessions stay inside the project directory.

Cloud providers still need internet, but with Ollama or another local provider the coding workflow can stay local once configured.

It supports Windows, Linux and macOS. 💾

To me, the interesting part is not "coding from a flash drive". It is being able to move the whole agent environment between machines.

Has anyone here tried doing this from a USB SSD in a real workflow?

I started writing a small piece of software some time ago to easily host files on a local server and share them with any device equipped with a web browser or an HTTP client (curl, wget, etc.). I've been using it myself at home and I keep slowly working on it in my free time to add features and fix the problems that I find.

It's very lightweight and fast, and it doesn't require anything special to compile, just a Unix-like system, a C compiler, and a few standard utilities (sorry Windows users). It's compiled into a single binary and that can be configured at compile time or with a config file.

For now it can only be used to download files from the hosting server, but I'm working on uploading, renaming, and deleting files.

Hopefully it can be useful to other people. Any (constructive) feedback is welcome!

Hi, I want to download wikipedia from kiwix but I can't find anything. There is only a blank page and nothing more. Anyone has noticed this on kiwix? How to solve this? I try also on other pc and on my phone but it's showing blank page also there.
