  3. Little shout out to the #FOSS worlds underdog #opensource OS projects:
    - #illumos
    - #HaikuOS
    - #DragonFlyBSD
    - #Redox
    - #GNUHurd
    - #ReactOS

    All cool projects that always need some extra hands.

    (And of course they are playing the innocent, they think they can fool us to believe it was just a "mistake". An age verification company reporting the users of an OS which openly refused to implement any age attestation/verification measures. That must be an accident, right? RIGHT?)

  5. Sé que no soy nadie y no tengo voz para decirles qué hacer, pero les invito a probar Haiku OS 💻✨
    No es Linux, no es BSD… es otra cosa, hecha con ❤️
    Es hermoso, rápido y diferente.
    Aún no conozco a ningún dev, pero ojalá algún día, solo para decirles: “gracias por esta joya” 🥹

  7. CW: 2023 (Personal)

    Goal:
    Untangle my computer use from any commercial/capitalist presets...

    xkcd.com/743/
    mastodon.social/@mcc/109683380

    For 2023 a #LibreComputer AML-S905X-CC (#LePotato) (2GB) is my personal base level hardware platform

    Anything I develop/make has to be usable on the current base level hardware platform

    toadwater.net/Permacomputing.h

    viznut.fi/texts-en/

    "A useful frame of mind is thinking about your computer as offline first. You work with your computer and occasionally have network access. This usually means having data locally and occasionally synchronizing it with others."

    #LocalFirst #OfflineFirst
    #FrugalComputing #SustanableComputing #NetZeroComputing

    Expect to run zsh, X11, openbox(?), Emacs, terminal, neomutt, newsboat, mastodon?, tor, i2p?

    Test if Gnome is usable... ? xfce? CDE? is GnuStep still active? no desktop?

    Get used to do #Email, #UseNet, #Gopher, #IRC, #RSS in #terminal or #Emacs

    Use #Emacs and #TeΧ to write (dead tree) letters and missives (PDF?)

    Maybe do more in #RawText?

    Do callender things again on paper/pencil, #43folders, Whiteboard, etc.. physical things

    Expand use of Gopher, Gemini, IndieWeb?

    IM.. #XMPP via Dino? +OMEMO

    Find a sustainable open source alternative for keybase? Or develop a distributed alternative using tor or i2p? Trust via FOAF?

    Develop in #Pascal, #Lisp, #Ruby, #Haskell, #Scheme, #Forth :D

    #DigitalBarn
    #DigitalShed?

    Keep repositories in #mercurial,
    maybe source hut?

    #DigitalDorm?

    Find an #anonymous #pseudonymous hosting solution... shell account?... like rawtext.club, tildeverse.org, sdf.org .. ...my own?

    Get a low power #amd64 box? bc too many FOSS projects are still not platform independent & x86 only v.v

    Optimize to run many VMs?

    Maybe can run #android in VM and run banking, insurance, and other apps there? Otherwise maybe get an used M1 mac and run the #iOS apps? perhaps some <100 euro android phones will do as well? otherwise get an iPad mini and use that for the next 5-6 yrs

    Maybe set up a #FileServer (#NAS?) maybe even network boot? and perhaps even a #Postgresql database? Is having SQL DB available on the local network going to be useful? What about other databases?

    #DigitalStreams (#FediVerse?)

    #DigitalCampfires (#Tumblr? Blogs?)

    #DigitalGardens
    (#Wiki?)

    wiki.c2.com/?WikiGardener

    joelhooks.com/digital-garden

    Bring #DigitalGardens to the "#TheDarkNet" and set up basecamp there, #tor onion services, a p2p chat/IM app, etc.. also explore #i2p and see how to simplify using it.

    #DigitalHome?
    (Tilde?)

    Get back into #AI (but forget Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Innocence?) I want Augmented Intelligencekm

    Explore as many other fun projects as well ... Who knows, I might like them and use them more often...
    eg: #Guix #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #Minix #RiscV #Plan9 (#9Front) #RedoxOS #SmallTalk (#Pharo) #GoLang #RetroComputing #System7 #RiscOS #HaikuOS #Forth #Microcontrollers #68K #MIPS #PowerPC #HomeBrewComputer
