  • Voyager definitely has filtering.

  • Gah. This hits hard. Too often I feel like a guest in my own damn country.

  • Create a new repo locally.

     txt
        
    git init
    git add .
    git commit -m "Initial commit"
    
    
      

    Then to create a new remote repo, you can do this.

     txt
        
    git remote add origin git@git.sr.ht:~user/my-new-repo
    git push origin main
    
      

    You'll get a message that says.

     txt
        
    remote: 
    remote:         NOTICE
    remote: 
    remote:         You have pushed to a repository which did not exist. ~user/my-new-repo
    remote:         has been created automatically. You can re-configure or delete this
    remote:         repository at the following URL:
    remote: 
    remote:         https://git.sr.ht/~user/my-new-repo/settings/info
    
      
  • Also, a shame you can't filter on image text.

  • I wish Voyager could filter posts based on image text as well...

  • Interesting! I didn't realize this! https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-assign.en.html

    only the copyright holder or someone having assignment of the copyright can enforce the license. If there are multiple authors of a copyrighted work, successful enforcement depends on having the cooperation of all authors.

    So it seems like the FSF does this in order to be able to enforce GPL. Buuut, these guys really gotta be the exception. I feel like the probability of the FSF selling out and going full corporate evil is pretty low...

    a good idea to have a CLA so that’s no conflict that the project owns the code.

    That's exactly the problem though. The project owning the code, instead of the contributors owning the code.

  • I don't think the type of license matters too much if you have to sign a CLA, since the company can just change it whenever they want. For example, you can be AGPL today (Joplin) and then not AGPL tomorrow.

  • Hahaha. No, but seriously, we gotta switch to metric. I hate owning 2 sets of tools.

    Also, it's easier to think, "Oh, 10mm is slightly too small. I need 11mm." instead of "Oh, 69/420ths of a barley corn is too small. I guess I need 70/420ths?? Wait, they don't make that size? Oooh, nooooooo!!!! AAH!"

  • I have friends and family who work in schools. They've all had to put out statements saying they won't cooperate with immigration to the extent they can.

  • Ed is on the left. Eddy is in the middle. Edd is on the right. Just glance at the thumbnail quickly. Don't actually click on the image.

  • The Thunderbird desktop app for Linux has a "Export to Mobile" feature. It generates a QR code that you can scan on your phone to, I guess (I haven't tried it), transfer the login info of your email accounts from desktop to phone. After that, IMAP should take care of syncing the emails from the server to each device.

  • I was curious what the other apps were, found the list: https://fedidb.org/software

  • LOL! OK! I'm not the only one who saw teh Ed boiz in that image! 😂

  • Seems like the owners of Gitea did something like a self-coup and kicked out community members from the project. https://gitea-open-letter.coding.social/

    Forgejo is the community-driven fork of Gitea.

  • People like to act like Docker containers and environment variables are simple. But so often these things are not.

    Oh for sure. I hate it when apps are like "EZ one line install" but then spin up a bunch of Docker containers. It's just more potential for shit to break.

    A huge reason I like Navidrome is because it's just a single static Go binary. Can't get much easier to manage than that. Plus a bunch of native music apps are available as well. Wish more software was like that.

  • For the specific case I'm talking about (CLAs), I check if the project (on GitHub or wherever) requires signing a CLA to contribute. In Joplin's case, they do:

    Basically, with a CLA they can change the license at any time to whatever they want. If they want to go closed source tomorrow they can with zero trouble. Without a CLA, they would need approval from everyone who has contributed to the project to do a license change, giving the project proper open source protections.

  • Look at South Korea, president tried to pull a coup and basically everyone told him to fuck off. Didn’t matter that he was in charge of the military and government

    So there is a chance!
