This is wildly ambitious of me, but who wants to join me in creating a #FOSS alternative to discord? I believe that we can break the cycle of enshittification by being #OpenSource . This is a massive undertaking, though, and I can't do it alone.
Please boost to spread the word, and reply if you're interested in joining.

Hi everyone! 👋 We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security – So if you see someone recommending it, please inform them about the risks – but also that there are actively maintained successor projects (like LibreOffice). #foss #OpenSource
My favorite operating system #Linux Mint also has a non Ubuntu based edition.
Not only the 32 bit option is there, it is not dependent on Ubuntu at all. It's going to be untouched even if Ubuntu is closed as it is based on #Debian directly.

A version of the "for the better, right?" meme comprising Person A in a field looking at the camera saying "We're moving our multi-national organisation to a FOSS solution!". Person B replies "You're going to support it financially, right?". Person A looks at the camera, saying nothing. Person B repeats "You're going to support it financially, right?" while looking concerned.

All this feels really empowering and I wanna help others do the same! 🚀

Does anyone have any recommendations for a label printer for use from Linux? I'd like to connect with USB from my desktop Linux PC. Ideally, I'd prefer to not install any proprietary drivers and use all free software. Also, I think it'd be convenient to have it work independently from a computer, so having an included keyboard would be nice, I imagine.
I have a new small parts organizer that I hope to store a collection of resistors and capacitors, op-amps and other small electronics prototyping parts of different values. I would like to print labels for each drawer.
I'm looking at this one: https://www.brother-usa.com/products/ptd610bt
Anyone have any experience with this label printer from Brother with Linux or standalone?

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 126 (good luck charm edition) 🍀
Good morning Fedi friends!
Yesterday I flew back to Paris and I’m spending the week at my in-laws' with my extended family… my little one still has one more week of school holidays. Working is a little difficult with so many people around (especially children) but I have a lofty goal for today: upgrading my VPS and installing #PeerTube.
The 22nd of the month has been my good luck charm in my self-hosting adventures. I installed #GoToSocial (this account) via #YunoHost on December 22nd, 2024. I successfully installed #Ghost on my Ubuntu VPS with command lines on February 22, 2025. Because of that, I will be saving 30€/month…
So in the spirit of #FOSS exploration, I find it fitting to upgrade my VPS today on April 22… and - my oh my! - install PeerTube via YunoHost… so that I can self-host my upcoming videos about the Fediverse.
The children are playing in the garden and I have about 30 minutes to do all that. Wish me luck!
