@thunderbird I love your work, but pushing this tab into Thunderbird, causing Thunderbird to pop in front of my current meeting window while I’m presenting and have to then scramble to close it and get my notes visible again, is _utterly_ unacceptable.
We are so sorry for this focus-stealing bug, and we're actively looking into this. The appeal should open in a new tab, but that tab shouldn't ever steal focus and do things like disrupt your presentation. If you'd like, you can report on/follow the bug here: bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.…
persons 2, 3 and 4: You *really* should use Wireguard. It's more secure, way faster, and easier to deploy. Pretty much everyone has dropped it in favor of Wireguard. Here are a bunch of valid reasons why you shouldn't use OpenVPN in favor of Wireguard, with resources explaining things in great detail in ways that are easy to understand.
Person 1: Yeah, cool. But I'm going to deploy OpenVPN anyway.
Sometime later, in a completely differenct place:
Person 1: I have just deployed a new self-hosted OpenVPN. Wow, this is really slow and kind of annoying to deal with.
Persons 5, 6 and 7: You should have used Wireguard.
There are also just way more resources and scripts and Wireguard is much easier to set up. I remember following a two-part guide to deploy OpenVPN and create shell scripts for certificate management. I still screwed up somewhere and never got it working, until someone made PiVPN.
Native WireGuard still doesn't offer an easy way for clients to auto-join a network without having to do per-client configuration on the server.
It's great for site-to-site deployments and such, replacing IpSec more than OpenVPN, but for traditional hub-and-spoke, you need non-standard solutions on top.
@klittle667 Well, yeah, but there are some very specific use-cases where native Wireguard is still preferred. I love Tailscale myself, but when you need every part of the system under your complete control (yes, I know about Headscale) then native Wireguard might still be a better fit.

Everything Trump does is a metaphor. He knows only how to destroy, not to build.
Destroy the East Wing with no new design or blueprint. Destroy US healthcare without having a replacement. Destroy the US economy without having a fix. Destroy FEMA with no plan for emergency response. Destroy environmental regulations without any new protections.
Me: how do I get this text off of this FreeBSD 4.11 VM ? It's too old for me to ssh to it, it doesn't have netcat, and I can't install any software very easily at the moment
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
What's amazing to me is, we're two years into Intel, AMD and Qualcomm making "AI" CPUs and I still haven't seen a single unique on-device application of those chips that have made me think, "oh, that's kind of useful." They just shoved a NPU into their packages because Apple did and then yelled "Copilot!", threw a smoke bomb and disappeared.
ahaha that's a good way to look at it. They advertise it as being capable of doing ONNX, but with only 50 TOPS at most on higher-end ones, a graphics card can easily deliver in the 400-500 TOPS Int8, 100-200 on something entry level. I think they would have been better suited to put all that R&D into getting the iGPU to include extensions for AI, but I think NVIDIA's Cuda killed that, with how popular it is, they just felt like their own would have no chance. Sigh. So now we're stuck with a part of the CPU that's really there just as a booster to the GPU, and together maybe a system can push 90 TOPS, far below the power of a dedicated GPU that's even entry level. Useless.

@jzb it has a cult status here. I think it's even more popular here than in the UK. It even has its own convention. Dwarf is "trpaslík" in Czech and Trpaslicon was founded way before other cons were a thing here.
Tonight join @Liz, for Full Circle from 7 P.M. eastern (US time). As it is the second last show of the year, their will not be a showcase, or Chickenman. However, Liz will have her own version of a party mix. So tune in tonight, for the Full Circle party mix. HKCRadio.com
I knew scammers were ripping off @simonegiertz's delightful edge-piece jigsaw puzzles with cheap low-quality bootlegs, but I just saw a new low on TikTok: I got an ad using *her stolen video* to advertise their knockoff. When you click the "Shop Now" link, it goes to their store with the near-identical fake minus the Yetch branding.
The most *chef's kiss* part of this story is when Instacart says it's the stores that set the prices and then the stores point the finger right back at Instacart and say they don't set the prices on the platform.
Ok, I may be being silly, but how do you change your nickname in in an IRC account on #Thunderbird? I don't mean once you're logged in, /nick works fine. I mean how do you change the nick you sign in with?
We're looking for some fine folks who would be willing to host Linux App Summit in April 2026 specifically we are looking for countries in Europe. If you're interested in hosting, please DM me. :)
Hey! Movim just introduced chat shortcuts in the navigation bar 👌
When you are mentioned in a chatroom or when a contact sends you a message Movim now displays a direct shortcut to the latest conversations allowing you to go to the related discussion in one click! How convenient! 😸
You can already try it out on mov.im/ or wait for the next stable release ✨
This night is very heavy.
Rain should feel peaceful, but not in our hard circumstances. Not when we are living between the rubble of our home.
I reach a point where I stop reacting, not because I'm strong, but because I'm exhausted.
People in Gaza prove their ingenuity and resilience daily in order to survive. I want us to remember what this highlights, along with their incredibly creative solutions: the blatant injustice of greed and supremacy that caused the necessity for these solutions in the first place.
We must continue to fight for Palestinian freedom, in every way that we are able.

my friend’s father went to invent a way to start fire.
Mir fällt es schwer zu verstehen, wie die @Kirche@mastodon.social bei den Entwicklungen in den ca. letzten 10 Jahren zu so einer Entscheidung kommen kann.
Command-line utilities should output their help text in Markdown, so that little C programs don't need to spend any overhead to document their command-line parameters, and it would be easy to render with a pipe?
@feld It's generated using roff that no one wants to look at, and many command-line parsers don't even generate it. I'm thinking newskl-of-oldskl - Markdown seems like a better oldskl? We could have brand new Markdown processors on the PDP-11 or on DOS, and with modern dev tooling it's 1000x more possible than it used to be?
markdown is such a terrible format though, we really should discourage it from infecting more of our lives. There is no real standard and it struggles at rendering a lot of common documentation patterns like bullet points between numbered points, etc
@feld I don't think that languages and formats will ever be as consistent as we nerds want, because they're ultimately social. One thing I like about Markdown, is that it's easy to learn.
well we have something better that has existed for many years before that and has been successfully used across a HUGE amount of open source projects already including the Linux kernel.
If we're gonna pick something, we should move forward with the option that has a formalized standard already and "just works".
Doing a but of sleuthing with some limited evidence and hitting a wall.
So some of you say certain words containing a long O after a short sound, like both, moment etc. but add in an L, sometimes obviously, sometimes subtly.
So bolth, molment, and so on.
Is this regional? Generational? Education? The US doesn’t have a class system like large parts of Europe or Asia do, so I can’t speak for that.
I'm from upper midwest USA (Wisconsin) and I can attest that "both" being pronounced as "bolth" is rings true. I am certain I do it without realizing it.
I think it's regional - likely influenced by the speaking style of the predominant immigrants that settled in given areas (at least that's my hypothesis). I used to have family in remote Pennsylvania and they pronounced certain words with an "R", like "warsh" instead of wash. I've not heard "molment", but "bolth" seems to be super common just about everywhere.
I've never done any LLM work except running a few local models through Ollama. I don't really understand how to use this Orpheus TTS thing (see link). I know it's not for real-time speech, but rather for generating audio when given a bunch of text, like a file's contents. Still, it might be neat to play with. I don't get how to deploy it or train voices, if I even could train voices. github.com/canopyai/Orpheus-TT…
@FreakyFwoof @chikim That said, the pretrained voices didn't impress me much. Tara seems to generate decent inflection here but the data was captured with a shit ton of room that has a humming electronic thingy in it. DOH!
That model is really good, also take a look at Echo TTS or Vox CPM. Vox CPM is cool because it can also be fine-tuned to get even more accurate results.
Actually I was able to get both running on Mac without much modification. Echo-tts seems to handle zero shot voice cloning well. Vox CPM seems to add too much inflection, which sounds pretty exaggerated. Maybe fine-tuning will improve it.
Oh boy my first thought when seeing this is there's going to be some confusion. I assume this project is in no way affiliated with the Orpheus TTS from Dolphin that has been out for decades?
@alpuzz I doubt it. I was looking for that project, actually, and found this one instead. I have since tried the original Orpheus and don't like it much.
@alpuzz It needs tuning, and do *not* use the US voice. Just as the Eloquence UK voice is nothing but hot, stinky, rancid garbage the US Orpheus voice is just as bad in the other direction.
Will the fediverse count, or does the walled garden approach actually do people favors and by "social media" the gov't just means: facebag, titkok, shitter, insta, and MySpace?
@black6 The fediverse likely counts, I don't remember the details but a while ago I found a company hoovering up all the fediverse posts that seemed linked to Palantir & Friends so I'm certain they have most of these posts too
