In der Anwendung von freier, offener und wirtschaftlich fair betriebener Software sehen die Lukis eine praktische Verbindung zur #Freiheit des Evangeliums und vieler Narrative biblischer Texte.
Das war auch an diesem @luki@kirche.social Wochenende im Theologischen Seminar Herborn wieder zu spüren.
Ganz praktisch ging es z.B. um #GNUTaler, /e/OS, digitales in Kirchengemeinden, #Grist, #Matrix und Bots, #DeltaChat, #ElementX und die Server-Admin bei @hostsharing@geno.social
Die Location war ünrigens einzigartig

🪞 Introducing Mirror Hall, an app to turn any Linux devices into a second wireless monitor!
We use semi-custom P2P screen sharing optimized for low latency. Only Mutter-based DEs are currently supported as *senders*, whereas all DEs work as receivers.
This is our first unstable release, sp please be kind and report issues. If you are an #ARM user, we would love your help testing the gstreamer pipeline on new phones!

Please also help to circulate this in the accessibility community as we want to catch any bugs related to their needs as soon as possible.

New blogpost: Thunderbird, Nextcloud, calendar invitations, and unwanted html email with non-working 'confirm acceptance' links
Last week, someone kindly flagged a problem with how I'd got calendar invitations set up, and it was annoying me.
So, over the weekend, I fixed it :)

Linus Torvalds: Rust will go into Linux 6.1
At the Kernel Maintainers Summit, the question wasn't, "Would Rust make it into Linux?" Instead, it was, "What to do about its compilers?"
The Rust in Linux debate is over. The implementation has begun. In an email conversation, Linux's creator @torvalds told, "Unless something odd happens, it [Rust] will make it into 6.1."

Speech to Text on Linux?!?!
I just found "Speech Note" when searching the Software app.
Installed it via flatpak.
flathub.org/apps/net.mkiol.Spe…
Used the "English (Vosk Large)" and "English (Vosk Small)" language model with very decent results. There are loads of models to choose from.
All processed locally. No network needed!
This is great!

David Airlie, Red Hat kernel maintainer, about the Rust-for-Linux drama: "if people start acting as active roadblocks to work, rather than sideline commentators who we can ignore, then I will ask Linus to step in and remove roadblocks"

#Linux #kernel patches to allow enabling #PREEMPT_RT (aka proper #realtime support) for x86, ARM64, and Risc-V were posted for review:
lore.kernel.org/lkml/202409061…
"The printk bits required for PREEMPT_RT are sitting in linux-next. This was the last known roadblock for PREEMPT_RT. The RT queue has additionally the "atomic console" for the 8250 UART which is not yet in linux-next.[…]"

Oh, thank goodness not having a fully functional screen reader isn’t a blocker for Fedora 41. We wouldn’t want them to miss their 10th anniversary of shipping an operating system without a fully functional screen reader, after all.
