Joining the #100DaysToOffload challenge! Thanks @kev for starting this. First post provides some background on my plan to progressively use more #FLOSS software and open protocols

Really starting to like Fedora. Tried installing on a laptop and everything works out-of-the-box, even WIFI! Usually that's the one that doesn't.

I laughed entirely too much at this.. 🤣

Quick reminder that sourcehut is 100% free and open source software, unlike GitHub, GitLab, or BitBucket

Shoutout to other free software forges like @codeberg and Pagure, too

Today we finally launch the FOSS North Podcast. Enjoy it from https://foss-north.se/pod/ !

The pod comes with a site update, as well as a new episode to our ongoing series on Copyright and Licenses.

#opensource #freesoftware #fossnorth #podcast

We now release our #fossnorth series as a self hosted audio podcast you can subscribe to it in your podcast app: https://foss-north.se/pod/

It already has 15 episodes of our Licenses and Copyright series, check it out!

... And the fun isn't over! Release 2.0.0 also introduces #docker containers 🎉

docker run keyoxide/keyoxide

This one is for the promise of #selfhosting and building a decentralized network of identity verification!

This is the Uisge Ruaidh (Red River). The glen, bridge and village all get their names from this river. The male name Roy is also an anglicisation of the Gaelic word ruadh, meaning red. Rob Roy was, apparently, a red head.

#keyoxide 2.0.0 is here and I couldn't be more excited about this one: the entire backend has been rewritten in #nodejs 🎉 this will make it much easier to develop new features and tools all using a unified backend

#Trump milking money from small donors by touting contests that nobody ever win (or where the winner never collects the promised prize). And fraudulently promising people membership in exclusive donor clubs.

Any company accepting their ad buys should be ashamed.

@michel_slm you can already verify Mastodon accounts!

https://keyoxide.org/guides/mastodon

But assuming you already know this, you perhaps mean mastodon should show a green tick on your profile page! This will happen in the near future, as it requires some big changes to the backend which I'm working on currently

If you wish to control your online identity and consider #keybase, please have a look at https://keyoxide.org instead :)

I'm happy to speak at #bornHack - https://bornhack.dk/bornhack-2020/program/open-source-open-projects/

I would have loved to join in person, but it will have to be remote this time.

Trying to get a working multi-GPU system up. Turns out my motherboard wasn't designed with this use-case in mind.

After having described licenses, patents, communities, and more - how do you actually choose a license? Tune in to learn more at https://youtu.be/undYwqK4WsA

Has anyone bumped in to any concrete numbers over the environment impact of our usage of suboptimal software, eg js+web tech instead of native desktop apps, the power usage of crypto currencies, the cost of constantly brute forcing problems instead of elegant solutions?

Any data is much appreciated - it trying to write something intelligent about this.

Traigh Udal,
