A federated internet archive, I'm wondering whether I should build it myself. With so many journalists being banned for reporting the gaza genocide we need more ways to combat censorship.

A full-featured 2D + 3D CAD application built in Rust with GPU-accelerated rendering. Native DWG & DXF read and write, paper space, ACIS solids, dimensions, layouts. An open source community project by Hakan Seven, recognized and promoted by the OpenAEC Foundation.

the title yea

and those are real words trust

im kinda tired of flat design so are there any icon packs or launchers (on android) that aren't flat?

as we know capcut is no longer good for free users, any recommendation for open source video editor? i prefer option to export projects so i can archive it to my drive.

No internet required... In this video, I build a public Reticulum node and test whether it can bridge completely different networks into one encrypted communication path. I send messages from a normal phone over LTE, through the internet and Starlink, then off-grid over LoRa—eventually using a $20 drone-mounted relay to reach a phone with no internet connection at all.

windows uninstaller is just so bad that it cannot uninstall lot of preinstalled apps, any recommended uninstaller which is open source?

git-rivera is a git-log grapher and reimpl of git-foresta in go, with full graph coloring uwu
i wrote it solely because i wanted full graph coloring, but it has some extra things, like

• being able to view the graph of any local repo with --repo, defaulting to the cwd like git-foresta and git-forest before,
• defaulting to reversing the graph, putting the tips at the bottom and root at the top, and
• grep-like --start and --end for printing a section of the graph

it should be mostly 1:1 in functionality with git-rivera, but im no git wiz x3
the main feature is branches are colored from tip to root, including merges :3 you can see it in action in the screenshots below.

my local cluttered bitaxeorg/esp-miner with the options --all --start 86523a69b --end 893668fba --style 6

0xf0xx0/cli-pride-flags with the option --end 4d4e1ff

tl;dr git log --graph but configurable and readable

im not entirely sure if android auto is a privacy nightmare but im not risking it, so is there anything like it thats open source and stuff??

i read a little about komi store in the opensource community, and it seems like people dont like it? Is it unsafe or something?

i really like to customize and theme android, but it feels like basically all of the big boy apps are closed source and probably track the living shit out of you

any apps that are FOSS and doesn't steal my data?

NOTE: im not paying for anything, i know that disqualifies alot of apps but i just want something free

The basics about types of open-source software licenses, their differences, how to choose a license etc.

A lot of people, even developers still think "open source is open source" and don't know about FOSS and Copyleft. I think this sheds some light on the differences.

Inkscape 1.5 is a brutal middle finger to Adobe Illustrator, finally delivering the devastating blow that trapped, exploited designers have been praying to see for decades.

Inkscape is built on the blood, sweat, and shattered mental health of a handful of exhausted visionaries. They are stretching themselves to the absolute breaking point,

If you understand C++, join the fight

Don't let Inkscape developers alone in the trenches — step up, fuel the resistance, and help them drive a stake through the heart of Adobe's monopoly

Hello all,

Hubzilla version 11.4 was released recently, now has a new docker image built and should be ready for use.

On a technical note, if your setup involves connection pooling regarding your database, you will need to set system.pdo_emulate_prepares to true within your htconfig.php. The 11.4 release of the docker image, has the appropriate line in the htconfig.php commented out, for your convenience; naturally if you edit your htconfig in other ways (CLI, etc) that will still work, as well. Whichever way you choose to deploy your instance, you have options available to you.

If you are unsure about connection pooling, techbuzz has a great article on the subject, that you can access via the link at the end of this post.

Special thanks to the Hubzilla devs, and contributors for their ongoing work.

You can find their work at: https://framagit.org/hubzilla/core

Please review the new release at: https://framagit.org/hubzilla/core/-/releases

And lastly, within the next hour or so, the docker image will be ready to go at: https://hub.docker.com/r/dhitchenor/hubzilla

I hope this finds you all well; please stay safe.

EDIT: Here is the TechBuzz Online article that I mentioned earlier https://techbuzzonline.com/database-connection-pooling-guide/

Hi,

I am looking for a Jellyfin client app that will continue streaming audiobooks when the iPad screen is locked.

So far I have tried:

Jellyfin Mobile - This will stream the audiobook but once the screen is locked it stops.

Finamp - this does not recognise or find audiobooks specifically, it seems to only look for a "Music" library in particular.

Phyn - I'm not sure if this works or not as it requires you to pay for it's premium version before it will play an audiobook.

I am aware that the Jellyfin Mobile app has an option to keep the screen awake, however this is not what I am looking for as I want to be able to lock the screen.

Additional bit of info, the Jellyfin server has the Bookshelf plugin installed and I have added the audiobooks per the recommended file structure in the Bookshelf docs.

Would love to know if there's a way to make this work. If not, then my follow-up scenario would be to find out if there is an iPad app that will play .m4b files locally that allows you to the lock the screen (i.e. transfer files from Jellyfin server to iPad local storage and play directly instead).

Thanks in advance for any replies

I guess Anubis also prevents "good" bots such as search engine bots to access a webpage...

Hi, I wanted to share with you a small thing I coded today - Discord bot to moderate messages on a selected channel by using power of an open-source Shieldstral model by EU-based Mistral AI.

I prepared and tested a few filters: anti-EU speech, MAGA propaganda, LGBTQ+/women/migrants hate talk - the model handles that stuff well + doing it super fast on my 5950x CPU.
