  • Something like mIRC? If I was to describe it would basically be Discord or [matrix], but I want it more casual - no need for acc, just click a link you are in a chat room

  • Email is lowest common denominator ofc.

    These are the things to study and learn. We are in a world where there are many mother tongues, moving to a world where there are many chat apps.

    SimpleX

    DeltaChat

  • Europe's plan to ditch US tech giants is built on open source - and it's gaining steam

  • nix?

  • Firefox, VLC, Gimp, KeePass, LibreOffice among open source software endorsed by French Government

  • https://github.com/hackmdio/CodiMD for me is the genuine oss app with the real talent behind it and hedgedoc a controversial fork iterating on an older version

    I hope NixOS gets added.

  • Can you change your Linux distro

  • +1 for NixOS. My desire to have a reproduceable system got me to this and does just the job for me.

  • The EU Open Source Solutions Catalogue is now live

  • I like DeltaChat but FairEmail won out for me.

  • Password manager - EU made

  • agreed, if I didn't trust the encryption, I would not use it. I am fine with bitwarden hosting my encrypted passwords, the store is accessible locally on each device, and I can self host with vaultwarden if bitwarden pull the free service. The features in bitwarden are good and sufficient, less awkward than alternatives I have tried.

  • I use the lowest cost vps and domain name I can find. OVH black Friday deals and lcn free UK domains as a starting point and practice moving host and registrar so as not to be dependent on either. Only after you are independent of vendors is it worth taking this approach IMHO. Beware if you "forget" to renew your domain many sharks about will take it, gather your data or ransom the name.

  • use syncthing with markor, nothing simpler imho

  • Share your fav open-source projects that could use detailed getting started guide.

  • Another suggestion to help on NixOs. There is quite some demand for what NixOs delivers so any work done should benefit from useful feedback.

  • How is everyone handling the 2FA requirement for GitHub?

  • same, a simple habit that is secure, I use it always with maximum privacy. One day you will be in a rush, under stress, affected by age, and use your old habits with a valuable asset...

  • Does anyone know of any decent accounting software for Windows and Linux?

    Jump

  • These 2 are worth a careful look

    • ledger and its derivatives
    • quickfile

    I am from the UK and been doing this for over 10 years, with a CSV general ledger.

    I find the double entry accounting equation simple, but need meticulous book keeping and to fully understand the scheme of accounts to minimise the time spent preparing for tax, vat and PAYE along with annual financial statements to companies house.

    To work on my own I follow the 'plain text accounting' principle, ledger seems good, but simpler for me to use SQL on a CSV file and a Rust program to handle MTD for VAT.

    I've studied many accounting packages, all seem over complex and obscure the simplicity of the task.

    To work with an accountant I would choose quickfile. It is remarkable, and one very smart person I expect to choose the best application uses it so I feel that it has credibility.

  • What lesser known free and open source software do you use daily to improve your life?

  • great finds, is this list curated anywhere?

  • OSS calendar servers/clients that don't suck?

  • Thank you for pointing out Davx blindly follows NET_CAPABILITY... which calls home. I avoid data mining apps but don't have a firewall to protect from these cases, may I ask what you recommend?

  • Software for routine planning?

  • a text file? todo.txt format works for me. with a language sensitive editor I get colours and can sort.

  • Will GitLab or Codeberg eventually provide support for Starcoder, the open-source alternative to Microsoft Copilot?
