At a job I had 4 years ago before leaving setup a server for automated backups and network shared folders. And documented everything about it, for whoever took maintenance of it. 4 years later they asked me help to solve a problem. I said: “that is described in the documentation I wrote 4 years ago.”
The reply was: “We had forgotten that documentation existed. It worked so well these last 4 years that we never read that doc and forgot it existed.”

Not sure if I should rant or rave.

Just released a new app!

📣 Audio Sharing is available on Flathub now!

flathub.org/apps/details/de.ha

It's a small tool which allows you to stream your current computer audio over the network as a RTSP stream.

We've been having a bit of a summer (well, autumn soon) pause for Karrot, especially as I (@nicksellen) have been on a bike tour 🚲 🏕️

BUT we have very exciting news! 📰

We're through to the next round of the nlnet funding thing we applied for 🤑 💰 💸

Will be bigger celebration if we get all the way, but nice to celebrate for now! 🎈 🍾

@rysiek @qbi @emacsomancer want to see who wrote and maintains OMI?

tmpdir=$(mktemp -d); git clone github.com/microsoft/omi.git "$tmpdir" && git -C "$tmpdir" shortlog -sne --all | awk '{domain=$NF; sub(/>$/,"",domain); sub(/^[^@]*@/,"",domain); sub(/\\.*/,"",domain); sub(/^</,"",domain); count[domain]+=$1}; END{for (domain in count) printf("%d\t%s\n", count[domain], domain)}' | sort -nk 1

"FLOSS in the supply chain is a risk" is corrosively disingenuous.

Sinceramente dava-nos jeito ter mais mãos a ajudar, porque torna-se impossível acompanhar a catadupa de disparates legislativos que saem dos órgãos de soberania. Caros lurkers, é tempo de dar o passo, porque isto não vai num bom caminho ;)

@bart @nitrokey I can only second what Bart wrote: Please make #mainline support a priority.

@nitrokey Hey NitroKey, as a #postmarketOS dev this honestly gets me a bit worried. I've seen several companies jumping on the "Linux on mobile" bandwagon without realizing what makes the PinePhone and Librem 5 so great: mainline Linux kernel support.

Please make sure that if you make a Linux-based phone, it'll either ship with mainline support or has at least work going to it to make that happen in the future!

Bike trailer my housemate designed and welded within a week! It's aluminium square-section.

Phorge is a community fork of the no-longer-maintained Phabricator.

I think all these ph-names are phucking silly. 😜

Lots of work on MMS support on chatty! Thanks to Kyle Evans (fuzzy7k), there is now inline support for single image attachments!

Take a look at the work here:

If you’re writing a bash script, you should probably be using the Community Bash Style Guide (github.com/azet/community_bash).

Also, look through the slides for Beautiful Bash: Let's make reading and writing bash scripts fun again! (slideshare.net/a_z_e_t/inprese)

Making a call from the app on the (and yes audio worked ;) ). This is still a development version of gnome-calls. And work still needs to be done to make it more user friendly and integrated with other components. But hey it is progress :D
Credits go out to: @devrtz that has been working to add on gnome-calls. Also the account on the phone is an jmp.chat account, shoutout to them as jmp.chat is an awesome service :D

Did some playing with the GPS. I want to build something that can record where I’ve been. I did an Android version of this but I’m excited to rebuild it w/o Google & w/free software.

Grabbed raw nmea data with
sudo cat /dev/gnss0 > output.nmea
Used gpsBabel (not on the L5) to convert to gpx
gpsbabel -i nmea -f output.nmea -o gpx -F output.gpx
I then imported that into QGis

The spaghetti-looking area was me shoveling my driveway. Then I took a stroll around the block

‘tis a start😃

Was also able to use the GPS to record the ride back home and convert the data to a *.gpx file to open in GNOME maps.
