It's an “open secret” in the #FOSS community that in March 2017 my brother murdered our mother. About 3k ppl/year in USA have this experience, so it's a statistical reality that someone else in FOSS experienced similar. If so, you're welcome in my PMs to discuss if you need support…

MansionNET is now running its own Git!
@forgejo self-hosted, at https://git.inthemansion.com
No tracking, no AI scraping, no corporate gatekeeper. The code that powers our IRC bots, web tools, and infrastructure now lives where the rest of MansionNET lives, on hardware we control :)
Registration is open. Public repos, private repos, mirrors back to GitHub for visibility, really your call.
Looking forward to any feedback as well! :)
Guten Abend,
Ich möchte Komoot nicht mehr nutzen und suche daher eine App mit der ich importierte GPX-Route abfahren kann.
Die App sollte also wie ein Navi fürs Auto anzeigen (besser: ansagen) wann die nächste Richtungsänderung o.a.m. erfolgt.
Die Tourenplanung erfolgt i.d.R. vorab auf Bikerouter (Klasse Tool - Danke Marcus @mjaschen ).
Viele Grüße aus Berlin - Burkhard

I'm currently preparing my #gpn24 talk about user-centric #productmanagement in #foss. The target group for this talk are PM beginners, who would like to make sure they build the right product & build the product right.
I would like to help teams (or individuals) - who do not have any dedicated PM role or started establishing one - to understand what are the low-hanging fruits and how to pick them.
What kind of questions would you expect me to answer in my talk?
Alright community, we've fine-tuned the engine, but we need some proper "stress-testing." 🛠️⚡

I made a thing: a tool that allows programmable keyboards to send arbitrary Unicode characters. I created this mainly for myself, but I'm curious to know if there are other persons on this planet that could use it, so here it is:
https://crates.io/crates/infinikey
Because you didn't ask, here's my story. 😉
Ever since I bought a split ergonomic keyboard (2008, Kinesis Advantage 2), I have used an English keyboard layout at work despite being German and working in Germany. I think that for my field (software development), English layouts are just superior to the German one(s).
Still, I also need German umlaut characters for emails and chats in German. Back then I only used Windows at work, so using some Microsoft tool I created a custom keyboard layout. It mapped Ctrl-Alt-A to the letter ä, for example. The problem was that (some) software would still receive the Alt key and for example open its menu. So I built a script with AutoHotkey that handled these keypresses and that worked better. I installed the script on the work and home PCs, and when I got a new keyboard (2023, MoErgo Glove80) I started using it both at work and at home.
Fast forward to last year, when I started at a new company, and my department there does not use Windows but Linux - yay! However, that meant my AutoHotkey scripts no longer worked. 😢
I could probably have fiddled with xkb and things, but I really wanted _one_ solution that works on Linux and Windows. After several experiments (different approaches with XCompose/WinCompose and 'misusing' the Espanso text expander), a few months ago I finally decided I need to write my own software. And as of this week, it's not only good enough for daily use, but also published and installable by anyone! 🎉
Thanks for reading this far. Let me know if you're one of the maybe 10 to 100 persons in the world who have some use for this software. 🙂

Dear Arch Linux users, if there are radio lovers among you, I am glad to share with you that I am releasing Dyedfox Radio - a desktop internet radio player for KDE Plasma. Inspired by Shortwave, with a native KDE look using PyQt6. You can use it on GNOME as well, if you’re okay with how KDE applications look on GNOME 😄
Install from AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dyedfox-radio
I would be very happy to hear your feedback!

Während wir gerade alle feiern, wie geil #Linux inzwischen ist und ich gerade ein butterweich laufendes Resident Evil Requiem auf meinem Linux-PC zu Ende gespielt habe, flutet #Apple den #Notebook-Markt mit billigen Macbooks, auf denen Linux nicht läuft, lassen #Samsung, #Xiaomi und Co keine alternativen Systeme auf ihren Smartphones mehr zu, läuft Linux auf #Microsoft #Surface Geräten allenfalls nach übelstem Rumgefrickel und wirft #Google eine #Chromebook-Nachfolge mit #Android auf den Markt, das auch immer mehr zugenagelt wird.
Die Großen haben Angst um ihre Ökosysteme und den drohenden Verlust ihrer Kundenbindung und tun entsprechend alles dafür, dass wir es zukünftig schwerer haben, freie Alternativen zu wählen.
⚠️ Bitte achtet darauf, was für Hardware ihr kauft, und wählt Systeme, die euch keinen Riegel vorschieben.

Google claim that their upcoming laptop is the "perfect partner to your Android phone" because you can "access files from your phone as if they live on your laptop" - but did you know that this is already possible, no special laptop model needed?
KDE Connect is completely free and open source software (FOSS) to link your devices together, supported by the @kde charity. It works on almost all phone models, and it does more than just allow you to access your phone's storage. For example, with KDE Connect your phone immediately becomes a remote control for music or videos playing on your laptop or desktop PC!
Don't get drawn in by the slick marketing - you don't need AI to make your life easier with technology, and most of the features large software companies such as Google are promoting have already been thoughtfully implemented by dedicated volunteers in the FOSS community.

Devido ao Android (MIUI) do meu aparelho atual, desisti por hora de apps que sincronizam e estou usando o Fossify Notes.
Ele trabalha tanto com notas de texto comuns quanto com lista de tarefas. Possui uma navegação bem suave, deslizando para os lados (as notas e listas aparecem como abas).
Gosto de usar seu Widget em conjunto com o µLauncher (imagem). É possível ver o texto ou tarefas das notas, inclusive dando scroll; ao tocar uma vez, o app é aberto.
Quando preciso enviar algo do smartphone para o PC ou vice-versa, uso o clipboard do KDE Connect.

I just now replaced #OrganicMaps with #CoMaps
I exported all the bookmark-lists as .kmz files and opened each one of them with CoMaps. No issues, all the bookmarks are there. Then I enabled automatic backups, weekly, keeping 3 versions 👌🏽
This was very smooth 😄
Any lightweight app where I can download maps from open street maps, put markers for myself (basically bookmarks) AND automatically back them up or sync them to some place remote?
#OrganicMaps only allows manual backups it seems 🤔
"Free" in English is almost a double entendre when it comes to software. While we know what F in #FOSS means, we need to reach users out there who don't. #FLOSS was created so the focus is moved from monetary value back to "freedom".
Software is not created in a void, it takes contributor time and attention to be able to maintain, update and improve it.

This will help me with exiting #protonpass. I thought that protonpass' email-alias feature (a #simplelogin integration) was something very advanced and special but yesterday I learned that addy.io does the exact same thing but with #FOSS licencing and can be selfhosted (which unbox.at is basically doing)

one of my 2026 MSQ (main scenario quests):
Exit #proton 😄
Over the years there is just too much shady stuff going on and I just feel like I don't want to put all eggs into one basket. Currently I use these services provided by Proton:
- email
- VPN
- Password-manager
- Their cute little AI chatbot 😅
Why am I using proton? When I degoogled in 2023, the combo of Proton + Nextcloud was a very easy route to quickly get out of the Google Ecosystem.
Since I have already migrated once, I don't feel like this is going to be a huge deal.
What I basically have to do: find alternative services, set them up, flip the switch.
VPN is easy -> #mullvad 🤩
Passwordmanager is an interesting part: I plan to use #keepassxc in combination with #syncthing. Ideally my phone and laptop will sync the vault, and my laptop will also create a synced backup with Nextcloud.
One thing I started using excessively over the last 2 years is the aliases feature of #protonpass . Not sure how I will untangle that 😅 I really like the idea to have throwaway-email addresses for different websites and being able to answer incoming mails without leaking my real email address.
the email inbox itself will be a process over months but I already migrated away from gmail and I know the process and this time it doesn't feel daunting at all. My way of migrating email is updating the mail address on a handful of services every now and then, use both email inboxes for a while and after a couple of months I should know if everything has been migrated.
Ah lets see where it goes 😊 Step one, as usual: familiarizing myself and gathering information. I'm checking out Keepass now 😎
While we don't promote non-#FOSS apps, we can salute #Brave for setting up their own #FDroid repository for #BraveBrowser. @brave how about a fully FOSS browser in f-droid.org next? 😉
