Hi everyone, I have some exciting new things about Postiz!

Postiz is a social media scheduling tool supporting 19 social media channels:

Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, X, Threads, BlueSky, Mastodon, YouTube, Pinterest, Dribbble, Slack, Discord, Warpcast, Lemmy, Telegram, VK, Nostr.

Here is what's new:

• New Editor - The Previous editor was clunky, with many hacky hooks, real technical debt, I spent two days (monk mode), and created something awesome, UI and UX also changed.

• Overall better UI / UX - showing the amount of characters/characters left.

• OIDC fixed, working well now :)

• Sets, you can define a template of a message that will be posted later

• X - added option to select who can reply to your post, post to an X community

• BlueSky - Upload videos to BlueSky

• Integrations - you can work with an integration such as Heygen to generate content for you; you can see more here.

• Drag and drop pictures directly on the editor now shows progress in "%"

• Alt and thumbnails for media - This is the initial release, which currently allows you to add alt and thumbnails for pictures, but these changes are not yet reflected on the backend.

Everything as usual is available on the open-source :)

This is an interesting spin on trying to optimize power efficiency. It's similar to TLP, but instead of trying to optimize everything, it simply targets the CPU.

On a laptop running on battery, cpufreq can go into a low-power energy saving mode, but still boost the CPU for demanding tasks without the need to manually set the CPU to performance mode. This makes it a more 'set it and forget it' app.

This should also work on desktops, and could save you a few watts if you mostly use it to idle around in a browser all day, and only occasionally stress the CPU with a game or other task.

If you don't care about automatically switching to a higher performance mode and instead want to prioritize power savings, such as on a laptop, TLP is still possibly better in that regard (and if you do go that route, be sure to use the TLP GUI

I heard of a few wikis and desktop apps which are FOSS, some has UI's which look a bit old for, there are a few things like logseq I might try but from trying for a bit, i dont know how suitable it is for my usecase, but I want something that would be more specialized or at the very least have features that would be amazing for world building, (on a desktop app preferably but self hosted works too), like timelines, references to other pages, common stuff like Tags, Categories, and Taxonomies, graph view potentially, good search, templates. I don't need all the features I listed, just some or what your think aligns with what I am looking for.

I'm asking for a friend, since I also am interested.

"Speaking of food tracking, anyone know of anything simple that will let me do that. Used to have one but they all turned into sub fees and pushing upgrades and meal plans and crap

I just want to be able to select an apple or compile ingredients totals into a sandwich recipe I don't need to pay $8 a month for that"

I might as well look for FOSS ones

The NOVA-Core driver as the basis for a modern, Rust-written open-source NVIDIA GPU driver for the upstream Linux kernel and eventual successor to the reverse-engineered Nouveau DRM driver has a new co-maintainer.

Good day! I'm looking for is a way of creating rules to intercept, modify, drop, and replace HTTP requests and responses, hopefully even with regex(or similar) capabilities.

The best extension I've found that seems to suit those needs is Requestly. However, it seems like they have some shady practices of bought/bot reviews, like here on AlternativeTo.net, where you can see the review are made by accounts that are created the same day of the review, and never used since. The same pattern can be found on ProductHunt.
Is there perhaps an audit of their Github repo somewhere?

I've also looked at apps like mitmproxy, but I was hoping for a solution that is in-browser.

I know that Firefox and Chromium has the built-in dev tools for this, but this is only applied with the dev tools actively open; I'm looking for a more persistent solution.

Please let me know if this is not the place to ask, and if there are other places I should try and look instead/also.

Edit

My goal is to do something to the effect of uBlock Origin, but instead of just blocking/hiding, either replace with local files, or intercept req/res in order to manipulate them favorably, without being detected. I don’t know what uBlock does under the hood though, apart from its resource blocking and CSS-derived hiding.

Example: Watching a video on youtube, an ad is about to get loaded, but instead of the hiding/blocking strategy uBlock uses, intercept the GET/POST, save the important flags that are uniquely served to your device that would indicate that you have successfully been served the ad, drop the rest, and then answer with what would be a valid response for “I have watched the ad in its entirety”. So the server basically saying “Here, I give you this page and this script with both vital and ad contents. I now expect you to provide the corresponding hash that these two files will create through a series of functions. If you don’t, I will assume you’re blocking me, and I won’t provide further contents.”, and I’ll simply respond with “Here’s your hash! wink”.

Essentially, I wish to experiment with trying to be completely invisible in the blocking, by providing responses as if I have loaded and watched the ad, with all anti-adblock implementations through scripts and dynamic loading “intact” and unaware.

Harper is an English grammar checker designed to be just right. I created it after years of dealing with the shortcomings of the competition.

Grammarly was too expensive and too overbearing. Its suggestions lacked context, and were often just plain wrong. Not to mention: it's a privacy nightmare. Everything you write with Grammarly is sent to their servers. Their privacy policy claims they don't sell the data, but that doesn't mean they don't use it to train large language models and god knows what else. Not only that, but the round-trip-time of the network request makes revising your work all the more tedious.

LanguageTool is great, if you have gigabytes of RAM to spare and are willing to download the ~16GB n-gram dataset. Besides the memory requirements, I found LanguageTool too slow: it would take several seconds to lint even a moderate-size document.

That's why I created Harper: it is the grammar checker that fits my needs. Not only does it take milliseconds to lint a document, take less than 1/50th of LanguageTool's memory footprint, but it is also completely private.

Hello folks!

Does anybody can recommend some sort of IPTV FOSS app for Android?

Any recommendation is appreciated.

With the idea of promoting the usage of Guix and of my favourite programming language Guile Scheme, I created a small project which is still in early stages, but I think with some more love and effort can be quite something.

https://jointhefreeworld.org/guile-show-hub/

The Guile ShowHub! Promoting all Guile projects out there! By reading from foss Guix project source code we can tap into a plethora of information, and leverage the homoiconicity of Lisp to directly analyze the source code and extract info.

I am considering getting a foldable now, or slightly later when they mature a bit, and I would like to put a custom ROM with a better-privacy or at the very least a FOSS community driven OS, which ROM's exist currently that is tailored towards foldables, also I have a heavy preference to ROMS that take advantage of a Foldables physical features (fingerprint reader), or side-by-side view, and other things.

Alternative to GPG

Hey,

I'm using Joplin (a Markdown note taking app) and think about migrating to Logseq because of multiple reasons.

The main problems I have not yet solved:

1. OSS-Syncing Logseq notes between Desktop OS and Android. Logseq does not have an OSS selfhostable sync-server like Joplin has...
2. Making sure to transform my stuff, so that Logseq can work with it. Yes, it's both Markdown, but especially images and how Joplin handles them seem to be a problem for this migration.

What are your experiences? Have you ever switched between 2 Markdown note taking apps?

• Which ones?
• How well went it?

Is it maybe even possible to use app 1 and a Desktop OS and a totally different app on Android simultaneously on the same data? The common standard is Markdown...

Video Title: Open Source People are Fighting to Kill Open Source Projects

My take; since the comments have buried it under the angry defense of Wayland and Freedesktop by trying to dismiss the video creator (who isn't me).

I do think the video makes a pretty good point about how people who attack others for continuing X11 is very much violating the ethos of FOSS communities in general; and I have no doubts that if the claims made in the video are true; I think folks like Stallman would be kind of upset with people behaving that way because it only harms the FOSS community as a whole.

You may not agree with people who want to use X11 for their very niche use cases. That’s fine. But I do question any motives behind any kind of behavior that is not only ceasing all development on X11, but actively blocking and sabotaging others who want to work on X11 from doing so.

Free software plays a critical role in science, both in research and in disseminating it. Aspects of software freedom are directly relevant to simulation, analysis, document preparation and preservation, security, reproducibility, and usability. Free software brings practical and specific advantages, beyond just its ideological roots, to science, while proprietary software comes with equally specific risks. As a practicing scientist, I would like to help others—scientists or not—see the benefits from free software in science.

One sad but common situation is that of a graduate student who becomes accustomed to a piece of expensive commercial analytical software (such as a symbolic-mathematics program), enjoying it either through a generous student discount or because it's paid for by the department. Then the freshly-minted PhD discovers the real price of the software, and can't afford it on their postdoc salary. They have to learn new ways of doing things, and have probably lost access to their past work, which is locked up in proprietary binary files.

I know for sure that I'm looking for libre video chat software that has these features for the other person, not necessarily for me:

• no need to create an account
• mobile-friendly web app

I'm still deciding whether to do video chats on:

• iPhone
• Fedora GNU + Linux (GNOME)

Use case: I'm considering switching from text to video chat as my preferred method for initial conversations with people on dating sites/communities. There's not always a sacrifice of convenience by avoiding non-libre software for it, because whatever app is already being used typically only integrates messaging, not video chat.
