I started regularly donating about a year ago. I am now supporting 8 different projects with 20,77€ per month, and it didn't hurt at all.
Why pay for something free? Because free software only exists because other people already paid for it. Someone has to do it. It's time to do your part!
If you can afford a subscription service, then you probably can afford a little donation, too. Start with 0.1% of your income.

I’ve been on Fedi for a year now and have fallen in love with the platform, so here’s my introduction! I studied computer science with a focus on RTOS and FP/PL, but I’m about to start my final semester of law school. I’ll be practicing at a boutique firm that primarily handles IP cases once I’m barred. I foilboard and I play way too many rhythm games in and out of the arcade.
I contribute to open source projects where I can, and I write up my experience in my digital garden which I’ve been maintaining for over a year now. It’s also a good place to find usage tips for projects/tools that you might want to use.
My passion for tech also includes privacy, and I’m an advocate for minimizing your digital footprint. GenAI is a scam and its purveyors are causing real harm while they sell it as hard as they can.

GNOME's streaming radio app is... really good
Shortwave is a Rust-based streaming radio (IP radio/internet radio) application written by Felix Häcker, and it's my favorite way to manage my streaming radio stations on Linux. It's a GNOME Circle application but I use it on KDE Plasma and Sway, and it works fine over there (for me anyway). Maybe you'll like it!Links relevant in the video:

I had a talk called "Unbreakable Linux for Entire Family" today. It had nothing to do with Oracle #Linux, it was about concepts and approaches around #Fedora #Silverblue to make a truly free ChromeOS-like system for friends and family.
I was happy to have a full room of people. It's good to see #OpenAlt bouncing back in terms of attendance.
The recording of the talk (in Czech) is already available online:

10 Common Mistakes Beginners Make With the Linux Command Line (and How to Avoid Them)
Avoid common Linux command line mistakes with these tips.Richard Dezso (How-To Geek)
The solution: "find -maxdepth 1 -type d -empty -delete", to remove all of the empty directories one level below the current directory.
Having solved the problem myself, I then queried GPT-4, as I was interested to know whether it could give a correct solution. Indeed it could, although the GPT-4 solution was unnecessarily more complex than mine, with an -exec option used to run rmdir on each directory. I did specify that I was using Linux, so GNU extensions to the find command would have been allowed in the answer.
#CommandLine #Linux
General #linux #OpenSource question. I've put together my own spin on top of NixOS that I'm calling "nixbook" (a play on chromebook)
The idea is immutable self updating base with flatpaks on top for super basic users.
I want to give it a name so normies can identify what it is, instead of calling it the scary L word.
But I have no idea, am I allowed to do that? Anything legally I have to do, or thing to watch out for not to step on toes of the #NixOS project?
On Linux MAINTAINERS file removal of Russian developers
I sincerely regret to see Linux kernel patches like this one removing Russian developers from the MAINTAINERS file. To me, it is a sign or maybe even a symbol of how far the Linux kernel developer coLaForge's home page
My family is a Linux family: both my parents and my wife use Linux, and so will the kids once they have their own computers. Apart from my Dad, they're all non-enthusiasts.
Yet, none of them use a beginner-friendly distribution. My Wife, who's by far the least technologically inclined of them all, is a very happy and satisfied NixOS user. A distribution that's the exact opposite of beginner-friendly.
How is that possible? None of them maintain their systems. I do that for them. In the past two decades, what I learned from helping friends and family with their computers is that the vast majority of non-enthusiasts have absolutely no desire to install and maintain an operating system, or even programs. They're much happier if someone else does that for them.
Therefore, while I see value in distributions aimed at beginner enthusiasts, I see very little value in distributions aimed at non-enthusiasts.
I wrote a few more words about this topic on my blog too.

Začínali jsme s kolegou v roce 1999, když jsme si na Invexu koupili SuSE 6.3. Tehdy byl ještě defaultní fs Reiser FS a na internet jsme se připojovali přes dial-up modemy.
Moje cesta distry byla: SuSE -> Mandrake -> Slackware -> Ubuntu a v roce 2011 jsem přešel na Debian squeeze a u Debianu jsem zůstal dodnes. Jak doma na pc/notebooku, tak v práci na serverech

Hello!
Who knows how do I pin a package to a specific version in #archlinux? Something like apt's package pinning in Debian.
Why? I don't want to update my kernel to newest versions where the team just silently removed more than 10 Russian developers from maintainers list. This is not fair and I will stay on honest versions with honest maintainers list.

🤍 Appeal to the Browser Goddesses 🤍
Can we please make it a thing where 32GB of RAM isn't an insufficient amount for day to day web browser usage? Getting an OOM core dump for that reason is inexcusable.
- Should the Zoom browser app really need 2GB on a single tab when it's already downscaling a 1080p feed to 320p on an enterprise account?
- Should Amazon's website really need 1GB per tab just to view the cart or a ~800Mb for a single simple product page?
- Please remind me how an MKdocs fully static page with a single 400k image and no datatables or fancy JS somehow require 242Mb?
- Or perhaps shed some light on the requirement where Google's main page with a single search form somehow needs ~500Mb
There are no "good reasons" for these inefficiencies. We don't suddenly have better search fields or compressed jpegs now vs a decade ago with 1/10th of the system resources.
