  9. @benlockwood Indeed, yet I find asking myself:

    Why anyone signs up for or uses 'their catastrophe-nurturing bros' stuff?
    Why not engage+fund decentralized, community-driven tech/services?

    Why not engage in villages setup #FOSS cloud stacks: #nextcloud, #matrix #officetools #immich, #jellyfin - PLUS: local #AI #LLM service.

  12. Build-in-public: the F-Droid recipe for TrimPlayer, our AntennaPod fork, now passes fdroidserver lint and scan_source with 0 problems. The release build used to be hard-wired to a gitignored keystore, so clean checkouts failed. It now builds unsigned without one. Not listed yet: the fdroiddata merge request isn't open, and F-Droid's own CI is the real test. TrimBrain, the ad/intro detector, is a network service, so it will carry NonFreeNet. #FOSS #Android #AntennaPod

  13. Exact, the market leading bookkeeping system that big enterprises use, and is forced on clients by accountants all over my neck of the woods, charges at least €100 monthly for a subscription.

    Their user interface is bad. So bad that I would have found it unacceptable 20y ago. It takes seven actions to change a number field and then it silently reverts the change if you don't hit a particular key before you hit the save button. Batch edit only for the fields you don't want to edit. That kind of bad 🤮

    Their API isn't much better.

    Now I am surrounded by enthusiasm in the financial department about the fact that it seems to be possible to vibe code around this atrocity, so at least we don't have to endure it directly.

    But I'm thinking that's not nearly the flex people make it out to be.

    What if we would build a properly functioning FOSS bookkeeping software? Wouldn't that make all of our lives much easier?

  15. Od paru dni bawię się naprawdę zajebistym projektem, który z jakiegoś powodu w community FOSS oraz fedi zostaje trochę w cieniu i zastanawiam się, dlaczego. Jest taki silnik wyszukiwarki internetowej YaCy, który jest tak bardzo elastyczny, że aż mnie to zadziwia. Można go sobie self-hostować do budowania jakiegoś prywatnego indeksu (czym ja się bawię jakiś czas) lub można go wystawić do działania w sieci peer-to-peer, gdzie łatwo można swoją instancję zintegrować z resztą sieci, która wymienia się nawzajem wynikami wyszukiwania. To naprawdę zajebiście działa, chociaż oczywiście, jakiś bugów i innych toporności nie brakuje, ale to trzeba się wgryźć w to, jak od kuchni silniki wyszukiwarek internetowych działają. Próbowałem programować własny silnik od ponad roku, eksperymentowałem z tym, więc sobie porównywałem silnik wyszukiwania i crawlera od YaCy ze swoimi rozwiązaniami na tym samym crawlowanym zbiorze stron i powiem, że no, może straciłem trochę czasu na bawienie się we własny kod XD

    Jednocześnie już jakiś czas próbowałem postawić taki własny self-hostowany silnik w celu agregowania źródeł lokalnych, ułatwienia sobie researchu czy też przeszukiwania w jednym miejscu kilku archiwów internetowych. Integruję więc API YaCy, które self-hostuję na moim drobnym homelabie, z kodem pierwotnym mojej protowyszukiwarki internetowej, gdzie też robię integrację z API Wikipedii, Wikimedia Commons, Archive.org i parę innych. Być może za jakiś czas ten projekt opublikuję jako taki drobny eksperyment, głównie z myślą o samym sobie i znajomych, którzy by mogli skorzystać z tego do researchu.

    Check it out !

  18. I've come across a new vulnerability disclosure policy for FOSS: We're all developers of FOSS projects so the fact that I know about it means that it's already been disclosed and I'm now free to publish the findings.

    That's definitely... a take.

  23. It's impossible to avoid #AI as a #FOSS developer nowadays. Even if you do not use it yourself, others do and it's in your PRs, your issues, your dependencies, everywhere. It's more important than ever to create safe spaces for yourself, small pet projects that you can tinker with without any pressure, where learning and craftsmanship is more important than features or success, where you can take your time.

    Take care. Try to not loose the passion for your craft.

  24. Today the PHP group has announced an additional advisory that only affects a very unlikely scenario depending on your application code.

    It only affects applications changing the serialization handler via ini_set() during runtime before calling session_start().

    HortusFox does not do this. Neither does the underlying Asatru PHP framework do this.
