I just can't find any!

Throw this python plugin into your GIMP 3.0.0 installation's plugin folder (if you already have gimp installed, uninstall it and make a fresh install, at least that is my advice).

When you open GIMP under "File" is the "Batch Convert" option, which brings up a really nice GUI for doing conversion of image files, but also basic edits.

I know there are command line utilities for this kind of thing, I know there are paid commercial programs that do this kind of thing.. but having an open source optional-GUI utility that does this that also happens to be attached to an extremely mature and fully featured open source image editor is pretty awesome.

Looking for your personal lists of Github repositories, which might be deleted from Github at some point, for whatever reason. For example, the maintainer might delete his account from Github or archive all his repositories.

A famous example of an open source project, which had trouble to continue thriving, is youtube-dl.

Which projects' repositories do you think are worth backing up?

For me, it’s obviously Linux.

But after that, it has to be Haskell.

I'm looking for something that will embed a selection of RSS feeds on a website so that it essentially does the same thing as an RSS reader but displays my follows on a webpage. I know 55sketch has simple-rss on Github but I'm looking for something that will pull from various sources and list the articles in order of newest first. Anybody got any idea where I might find such a thing?

Cross-posted from "finance management software suggestions" by @mike_[email protected] in [email protected]


I used to use Quicken long ago but have been using Moneydance for many years to manage my personal finances. But Moneydance is propietary software and I prefer FOSS now. What's your preferred finance management software?

Thing I need it to do:

  • manage different accounts (common types are banks, credit cards, loans, assets)
  • have basic reporting (e.g., categorized expenses per time period)
  • preferably uses tags
  • export or copy reports or data - could be excel or csv or something that can be pasted or imported into spreadsheets
  • self-hostable with a web app

I'm not a fan of software that's budget-focused. I don't mind it having some budgeting functionality, but I don't want opinionated software to force me to manage my money a certain way. I just want felxible software to help me manage my software how I want to manage it.

I'm wary of source-available/freemium/dual-licensed/open-core licenses. It can't hurt to suggest such apps if you like them and I'll take a look, but I think it's not likely that I'll buy into that philosophy.

So what software do you use and like?

Hi all. This community was created for a spambot (tuxbot) but it appears to have some following. Is anyone interested in moderating the community?
