Now that 2024 is coming to the end and Christmas around the corner, have you considered any donations to be given? If yes where?

Hi everyone, it's been a while :)

Postiz is an open-source social media scheduling tool that offers scheduling on the following:

Instagram, YouTube, Dribbble, LinkedIn, Reddit, TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest, Threads, X, Slack, Discord, Mastodon and BlueSky.

https://github.com/gitroomhq/postiz-app

There's been tons of interest in Postiz. It's super exciting but also challenging—around 5-10 tickets per day (without a support team 😿), mainly coming from Portainer, Coolify, and Unraid—and I still haven't figured out how to solve it.

I need to balance shipping and customer support.

Tons of new features since the latest release:

• Option to add stories to Instagram and tag people for collaboration.
• Customer separation - you can group accounts per customer, and when you schedule, you can filter by customer.
• Option to tag companies on LinkedIn (I wanted to tag people also, but it was not possible)
• Fixes for different social media posts failing.
• Introducing Plugs! This is a concept you can find in other tools that can boost your engagement for your current posts. Here are some examples:
  • Once your post reaches X amount of likes, repost it (to regain visibility to it)
  • Once your post reaches X amount of likes, add another message to it (all your existing commenters will get a notification)

What's next:

• Public API - I have been too lazy to make it, I have to push more :)
• One Inbox - so you can reply to all your messages from one place.
• Google My Business provider
• AI Agents - I am still trying to figure out what to do with it, but it looks interesting.

Special thanks to this community that supports me with every post ❤️

Any star to the repo is a blessing ⭐️

** Fediverse networks will come soon :)

stackabrix is a simple terminal game, written in Bash, where the user, against the clock and with the least moves possible, must sort the blocks according to their color, and stack them in the respective stack.

During the game, the user can move left and right, pick blocks and drop them in other stacks.

The aim is to sort the blocks, and stack them in the respectively named stacks, fast as possible, and with the least moves possible.

The play's score is the sum of the time achieved in seconds and of the moves made.

If the score is among the 10 best scores achived, it makes it in the Top Ten Highscores.

Any feedback is welcome.

PeerTube is a decentralized and federated alternative to YouTube. The goal of PeerTube is not to replace YouTube but to offer a viable alternative using the strength of ActivityPub and P2P protocols.

Being built on ActivityPub means PeerTube is able to be part of a bigger social network, the Fediverse (the Federated Universe). On the other hand, P2P technologies help PeerTube to solve the issue of money, inbound with all streaming platform : With PeerTube, you don't need to have a lot of bandwidth available on your server to host a PeerTube platform because all users (which didn't disable the feature) watching a video on PeerTube will be able to share this same video to other viewers.

If you are curious about PeerTube, I can't recommend you enough to check the official website to learn more about the project. If after that you want to try to use PeerTube as a content creator, you can try to find a platform available there to register or host yourself your own PeerTube platform on your own server.

The development of PeerTube is actually sponsored by Framasoft, a french non-for-profit popular educational organization, a group of friends convinced that an emancipating digital world is possible, convinced that it will arise through actual actions on real world and online with and for you!

Framasoft is also involved in the development of Mobilizon, a decentralized and federated alternative to Facebook Events and Meetup.

If you want to contribute to PeerTube, feel free to:

• report bugs and give your feedback on Github or on our forums
• submit your brillant ideas on our Feedback platform
• Help to translate the software, following the contributing guide
• Make a donation to help to pay bills inbound in the development of PeerTube.

I've seen a lot of people on Lemmy singing the praises of proton mail and I've been considering making the switch. I was hoping those of you who use it might be able to give me a sense of the difficulty (or ease) of migrating my current setup to it.

Please keep things simple if you can. I'm not a very tech savvy person and don't understand a lot of the lingo and shorthand about this stuff.

Right now I have a single gmail inbox where I am forwarding several different accounts to it, some from gmail, others from different hosts. I really like this centralized setup, and I have it configured so I can also reply from any of these forwarded email addresses as well (it also automatically replies from whichever email the sender sent to).

Would any of this be hard or impossible to replicate in proton mail? My goal would be to slowly move away from gmail, but it will be a slow transition and I would need my current email addresses to forward to the new inbox as I do so.

Thanks for any insight.

Widelands is a free, open source real-time strategy game with singleplayer campaigns and a multiplayer mode. The game was inspired by Settlers II™ (© Bluebyte) but has significantly more variety and depth to it.

Is there any open source/diy dumb phones? Pine64 should make one If there ist any on market :D

Software: First and foremost: must be unix-like, must be able to communicate in both ways with an open-wrt router firmware distro and the devices on the local network (android, windows, linux, ipadOS systems). Must be very secure, like enterprise-grade or almost like that. Must be free and open-source. Must be somewhat fault-tolerant (so no Arch or gentoo or anything like that, i don't feel like recompiling the server's system daily). Must have these in base repos or easily installed in other methods: secure ssh client (like openSSH or such caliber), a software that enables me to securely control and see the gui of the server from android (Rustdesk? or such), (optionally i2p, dnscrypt, vpn clients, not needed if the router has them, just in case of emergency), ip camera management software, high-security intrusion-detection system, https server with css and js support (preferably command-line). Window manager: must support a very easy to use and lightweight tiling window manager (like i3wm) or if not, its installation and configuration needs to be possible and documented.

Hardware: affordable, x86_64 architecture, should be able to handle all of these at the same time, without freezing or overheating (i live in Hungary, so should be able to handle up to 40°C air temperature with stock fans or there should be space for more fans. liquid cooling is no-go).

I have considered these operating systems. Are any of these bad ideas? What you recommend that is not here?

I've gotten to a point in my privacy journey where it's less about moving towards private options, and more about relaxing and having some fun with what I can do.

I put off messing around with RSS for a while. I simply didn't have a significant need for it. However, after finding no good options to monitor various Lemmy communities without logging in, I decided to try out an RSS reader.

I settled on Feeder as my RSS reader, despite a few missing features I would like. I added my first Lemmy community as a feed, to try it out. I was immediately surprised how well it worked.

I also added other feeds, such as Tails News, and I was happy with that. I could monitor all the communities I needed to.

Then, I noticed one day, there was an RSS button for my Lemmy inbox. This is where I was really pleased: I can view my notifications without the need to log in, all in the same place.

Lemmy and RSS are both incredible, and I truly believe RSS is the hidden backbone of the internet. I love it, and maybe you should give it a try too!

(Ahem P.S. if anyone has an RSS reader as good as Feeder for Android that fixes this issue, please let me know)

Some weeks back apkupdater stopped being able to download/upgrade/install from apkpure, but now a days I see issues with apkmirror as well (I see way less apps when searching for them). There was an initial issue about not being able to install from apkpure, but it seems more than that.

Agreed there's aurora store, but to be honest, I pretty much prefer avoiding the Google Play store at all, and I haven't found an issue with apkpure.

There was apkgrabber, but it was not working since so long, and finally it got archived on github.

Is there some FLOSS app similar to apkupdater, other than aurora store?

Anyone experiencing issues with it? Issues are not meant to be status reports once filed, but it seems not many have even noticed about the referred issue.

I want to go full open-source with my phone, which is why I use Lemmy instead of reddit, there are a lot of proprietary built in apps that are bloat and are of course, not open source, Samsung does not let you disable or uninstall any prebuilt apps, any ideas?

Hi everybody,

I built this API and testing utility and I'd like to share here for feedback.

Organic Maps, a free offline maps app, faced a setback when contributor Alexandr Borsuk removed the MIT license, privatizing the repository and undermining open-source collaboration and the project's no-tracking values. A subsequent change enabled logging, further compromising privacy, all without discussion with other contributors.
