Thank you all for making the first annual #MatrixConf such a wonderful experience! We're already looking forward to the next one, slated for France in late 2025.

Our small-but-mighty team is properly exhausted and looks forward to sharing more – including recordings, photos, and takeaways – after resting up.

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!

Annnnd the air quality monitoring array has been deployed at #MatrixConf! Can you guess which room the BarCamp is starting in? 😂

Tomorrow will be the real test of the venue's ventilation, as we're expecting about 4x the attendees that we have today.

We take the #HealthAndSafety of our community seriously and are requiring masks indoors this year. The data we collect will help us calibrate our approach with this venue when we return!

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."

Upscaler version 1.3.0 was just released! The release is pretty large and includes some nice features and visual improvements:

- Introduce queue system to allow users to upscale images right after the other
- Add branding colors
- Port to latest Adwaita widgets
- Allow dropping remote images
- Allow pasting images from clipboard
- Make window draggable from anywhere
- Delete temporary file when unused
- Switch to Upscayl-NCNN from Real-ESRGAN ncnn Vulkan
- Update and rework translation
- Add Bulgarian translation

Unfortunately, I completely forgot that the GNOME 47 runtime isn't released yet. The update will be available later once the GNOME 47 runtime is out. If you want to try it out, you can build it from source (roughly a few minutes) using GNOME Builder: gitlab.gnome.org/World/Upscale…

The attached picture can be improved, a bit outdated.

For chat, Matrix and XMPP clients (e.g Element and Monal) can be used.

Libre Translate can replace Google Translate.

2FAS Auth is a nice project for OTP codes.

Strongbox is nice to store passwords.

PeerTube is a real YouTube alternative instead of YouTube facades.

And Yandex is an efficient search engine.

#Thunderbird #Productivity #OpenSource

It's a Monday morning, we're sipping coffee and listening to jazz, and thinking about productivity and Thunderbird Add-ons!

We'd love to know what Add-ons help you get things done for our next productivity blog coming next week. (Also, I'll probably install all of them. You know, for research! - Monica) We love seeing your productivity tips and tricks, and we know you've got some great suggestions. So start your week off right and let us know!

Pro tip for @gnome newcomer contributors: you can subscribe to specific labels/tags for newcomer-specific email notifications in a project.
If you go to gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c… for example, you can subscribe to be notified each time I tag a GNOME Calendar issue as newcomers-friendly (in terms of implementation difficulty).

You can of course also click those labels anywhere you see them in GitLab to see a list of issues filtered with that label.

Black & White from Lionhead Studios released originally back in 2001 went on to great reviews, and won various awards. Sadly, it's one game that has also been lost to time but the openblack project plans to revive it with open source.
