There’s this but AFAIK it’s not for public institutions. For sure dario@pan.rent, llas@defcon.social, and the fsfe@mastodon.social know more!

Discord reportedly exploring an IPO. Hold onto your hat, dear user!

Great opportunity for FOSS alternatives to prepare to roll out the welcome mats. (And not to scold. We know that doesn't work.)

Look at this code of how to run a Peertube instance on Nixos.

This is the bits I like from Nix. It can pretty much be used as an orchestrating tool. No docker, no kubernetes.

#Tails and the torproject@mastodon.social no longer recommend using #balenaEtcher to create bootable USB sticks:

> "However, in 2024, the situation changed: balenaEtcher started sharing the file name of the image and the model of the USB stick with the Balena company and possibly with third parties. While we have not experienced or heard of any attacks against Tails users stemming from this change, we believe it introduces potential for abuse."

The fact that this is what Microsoft calls it's Office App on mobile now is absolutely hilarious to me. No sane person would look at this name and conclude it's office

-Balena Etcher pesa 700Mb che per un programma di quel tipo sono decisamente troppi.

-È della famiglia di Electron e neanche questo depone a suo favore.

-Se poi ti spia ...

Consiglierei l'uso di Ventoy (almeno sino a quando non gli trovino qualche magagna). E se non gliela trovano, tanto di guadagnato!

Supporta quasi tutti gli os e si può installare su un pendrive anche assieme a file assortiti (musica, video, e altri) basta che ci sia spazio.

PSA: There seems to be a host of stable #kindle #jailbreak s out there. If you, like me, have an older Kindle lying around, don't let it connect to Amazon for the latest firmware updates. Instead, head over to https://kindlemodding.org/jailbreaking/kindle-models.html and follow the instructions.

Only took a few minutes in my case :3

Like honestly one of these moments

Happy 24th anniversary to Daft Punk's second album, Discovery.

"Discovery was vigorous and innovative in its exploration of "old questions and spent ideals", hailing it as "a towering, persuasive tour de force" that "transcends the dance label" with no shortage of ideas, humor, or "brilliance""
