Free and Open Source Software

Don't let the title fool you! This is not anti-FOSS!

I couldn't get any of the OS images to load on any of the browsers I tested, but they loaded for other people I tested it with. I think I'm just unlucky. > > Linux emulation isn't too polished.

Looking for preferrably RSS-compatible news desensationalizer similar to https://www.boringreport.org/app

any tips?

I've actually just been using Signal's built in camera app, which has been fine, but doesn't seem quite up to par today (or maybe I'm just in a mood). Does anyone know if there's a way to reset Signal's camera app settings? Otherwise I just use Graphene's camera, which might also be fine (maybe I need to get my eyes checked). Anyway, any camera apps that automatically take great pictures? I'm trying to photograph some old drawings for posterity.

Thanks to a few bug reports, my own attempt at writing a better (well, I tried! after all, it's in Rust...) alternative to youtube-dl has reached version 0.15.0 just two days ago.

As it uses a configurable Invidious instance to fetch videos from YouTube now (playlists remain yet to be solved), I imagined it could be - at least - interesting to some of you.

More of a showerthought, but still.

Yesterday, I just pulled out from the dead my opendesktop account and discovered that they are now offering multiple online services as well: There is GitLab, Mastodon and Nextcloud for pretty much anything you want. I, myself, am not a developer, so the most useful for me would be the latter two - specifically Nextcloud, where they offer a whopping (for me) 5 GB free storage.

I am not new to Nextcloud, as my Friendica node admin also provides a Nextcloud instance with some storage available, and the availability to increase it by mounting external storage sources, such as Amazon S3, WebDAV or even other Nextcloud mounts.

For note-taking, I am using Notable and keeping my notes in .md files, as this allows me to use just about any program I want to edit them on other devices (or switch from it seamlessly if I don't like it), but the way it works is to have a subfolder called notes on every "data directory" that you point it to. However, the Nextcloud notes app just wants to use the folder named in your default locale (in my case, it was called "Note")

So what did I do? I mounted the folder "Note" on opendesktop, as "notes" back on my node's Nextcloud server. On my phone, I do not have this issue, so I can use it with whatever name I want.

Now, I know I could simply use another note-taking app instead on my desktop, or just switch the locale on the other side. But I am sure there are plenty of use cases where a program just expects a certain folder to be somewhere, but you're unable to rename it there or use a different folder, so that is a welcome feature. And I now have the ability to access my notes both online and on whichever device I use, which is super handy.

Next-up, I plan to store some music there, as it also has a music app. Then I want to mount the folder as WebDAV on my phone, for foobar2000.

I just love Open Source 😁

Below there are some pics with the whole setup in action:

I'm looking for free simple special effects to overlay onto videos in KdenLive. Things like explosions, fire, and particle effects. Are there any good free or open source libraries for this kind of thing?

I've been looking for an OS replacement for Workflowy for some time, and logseq looks like it might be an option. A quick test drive makes it seem (to me at least) that it has a lot of extra bells and whistles that get in the way that I don't need. But I see that it has plugins--is it possible to set it up like a calendar and have each day have its own collapsible outline?

I am looking for a YouTube alternative client, where I can ideally import my subscriptions, and possible even like or comment on a Linux computer. Does such a thing exist?

Hi there,

I am searching for an Markdown Editor, with a similar Live-Preview feature to Obsidian. In particular, I do not want to split the view into source and preview, but have the preview as the main window and only switch to source code for the line/block I am currently editing. Nextcloud uses a similar feature for their in-browser editor, but I need an offline variant.

Do you have any suggestions?

I've recently become a fan of Sauerbraten's missions and searched for similar games. Unfortunately, it's not so easy to find ones that are a) free (as in freedom) and b) have missions (not tournament/arena style).

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

PS: It would be great if the graphics were a bit more modern and the mechanics realistic.

Hi! I remember there beings talks about beehaw planning to eventually move to a lemmy alternative with proper moderation tools, and was interested in following the development of this alternative, but I've forgotten the name of the project and can't find the specific posts about the subject. Anyone remember what I'm talking about?

Been having too much fun using LLMs hosted locally, but can't seem to get Ollama's chat with documents to work well. Lots of "what are you talking about? There are no documents here" issues. Does anyone have any recommendations to either a) figure out what's going wrong or b) Alternative locally hosted options that chat with documents works well with (GPT4all or something?)

beaconDB is a drop-in replacement for MLS, which uses the same format request that's used by Mozilla's Ichnaea.

The source code is available on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/beacondb/beacondb

You can contribute to the project by using an app like NeoStumbler (GitHub) or Tower Collector (GitHub) to submit location reports. NeoStumbler does Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GSM, while Tower Collector can only do GSM cell towers. Both are FOSS and available on F-Droid.

It is also recommended by the GrapheneOS project: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112759509558471713

Just keep in mind that it's still in relatively early development, which is why it really needs contributions.

Preferably an application that you can sync and save. Not sure what alternatives are safe in terms of privacy and security.
