🔓️ qpdf-decode

https://git.disroot.org/daltux/qpdf-decode

Scripts que desenvolvo para facilitar guardar após decifrar, com a senha, um #PDF, pensado para quando, p. ex., chegam faturas de cartão por e-mail.

Feito no #Debian #GNU #Linux, mas visando qualquer tipo-Unix padrão #POSIX com QPDF e YAD (GTK) disponíveis.

V. 0.4.0 com melhorias e correções, inclusive na interface gráfica simples utilizando YAD. Incluído parâmetro para instalação no menu de aplicativos/abrir de ambiente de trabalho (padrão FreeDesktop).

Estoy pensando si quedarme en cinnamon o pasarme a Kubuntu Desktop (KDE plasma de las basadas en Ubuntu)

A ver, por un lado: KDE me encanta y es super personalizable, optimizado y bonito pero por otro lado cinnamon es muy intuitivo y sencillo al estilo de Windows 7. Siempre tengo un drama linuxero

GNU Spotlight with Amin Bandali: 15 new GNU releases in August, including bash, micron, taler, and more. Full details: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/august-gnu-spotlight-with-amin-bandali

Big thanks to @bandali, all the devs, and other contributors! #GNUSpotlight #GNU #FreeSoftware #NewReleases

@cadusilva @cafetron Eu **acho** (destaque na suposição incerta) que a maior diferença é não trazer o GNU Bash como shell padrão, então talvez a maioria dos scripts, que costumam ser focados em Bash, não devem funcionar a contento.

[Reflexão pessoal] Acabaria sendo útil o esforço hercúleo que tenho feito há meses de escrever shell scripts tentando me conter a #POSIX, até o momento meio sem motivo prático para mim mesmo pois só uso #GNU há décadas.

Linux-libre keeps rolling out with 6.10.8-gnu, along with 6.6.49-gnu, 6.1.108-gnu, and more! These kernels are scrubbed clean, giving you the tools to have full control over your computing. Freedom soars with every new release, one clean kernel at a time! Your freedom matters, and these releases reflect that. Stay free, and keep pushing for software that respects your rights! https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/ #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom #GNU #FSF #Linux #LinuxLibre

Hello! I guess this is my first toot! (it's not *officially* called that right?)
#introduction
I've been meaning to find out more of the #fediverse and the various #foss and #libre / free software the world has to offer. I have not been disappointed. #gnu #gnulinux #linux #freebsd #openbsd #invidious

If you weren't clued in by my name and pfp, I really like #tor ! #privacy is very important to me and so, inevitably, I stumbled upon #mastodon and the fediverse as a whole. I love it!

#GIMP3.0 Enters String Freeze, Inching Closer To Release
Today marks the beginning of the string freeze for the long-awaited #GNU Image Manipulation Program 3.0 #opensource image editor release as one of the leading free software alternatives to Adobe #Photoshop.
#GIMP 3.0 has been more than one decade in the making as the port from GTK2 to #GTK3, also transitioning away from Python 2 to #Python3 support, and a wealth of other improvements.

"I need to check how much free space is on my disks. Is it `df -h` or `du -h`? I'm pretty sure I did `df` by accident last time and that's not what I want. It must be `du`, right? Disk Usage? Sure. Sounds good."

...

"FUCK. AGAIN."

:parabola: Arch: In your personal life, you’ll feel more touchy than usual. Your friends might start to feel like they walk on eggshells around you.

:debian: Debian: Information that seemed dry will suddenly seem more enthralling; you’ll be more bookish than usual, and your collegues will noice.

:gentoo: Gentoo: You’ll find this is a time to mend failing connections. Rebuilding bridges, again and again, takes time — but it will pay off.

:guix: Guix: Your perfectionist streak will rear its ugly head this month, causing you to clash with those close to you. Take care to temper yourself.

🍬 Linux Mint: You’re going to develop a sweet-tooth, this month! In the summer heat, you’ll find something sweet. Romance is in the cards.

🦎 OpenSUSE: Chaos that has defined your life will settle down, and start feeling more manageable. This lull-time is ideal for taking stock of your life.

Random thought. The older I get, the more sense #RichardStallman's absolutist stance on free software makes to me. If you can't inspect, or have someone inspect, the source of software you've paid for, then you own nothing. You have no idea what's going on under the hood. You wouldn't buy a car if the dealership told you they were the only ones allowed to perform maintenance or modifications, so why do we tolerate that behavior from proprietary software vendors?

#OpenSource #GNU #FreeSoftware

Les invito a reflexionar, el #SoftwareLibre debe comenzarse a ver como un movimiento del ser humano, social y comunitario.

Además de por los principios éticos de hacernos libres en lo individual, así como permitir la buena voluntad hacia otros (comunitario).

Por temas más pragmáticos y técnicos. No es factible que un individuo pueda ejercer las 4 libertades en todo el software que usa.

Se requieren comunidades fuertes que puedan en colectivo y sinergia tomar el control de su computación. #GNU

Desde mañana Nuevo trabajo!
Mucho que aprender, y quienes confían en mi para este trabajo merecen el mayor de mis esfuerzos!
Ademas es un proyecto de Código Abierto así que vamos a full!
Paso a paso!

That year was 1997. Computers on the manufacturing floor at work were mostly open hardware Z80 controlled GE/Fanuc PLC's... or PC's running a several kilobyte assembly language program connected to parallel port I/O boards. And that older stuff worked like a top 24/7/365 unless the power went out or someone accidentally blasted the steam seals near the desktop computer. They were controlling large production lines long as football fields.

Then some engineer who I will never forgive decided to rewrite all the production machine systems in Visual Basic for Windows 95. Windows and other proprietary systems were crashing like crazy. Remember, this is when Windows didn't use memory page protection and was filled with kernel bugs. It was unreal. If a machine had to be restarted, the production had to be restarted and that made a lot of scrap. There were about 30 active production lines running at one time, limited to the 1.6 megawatt agreement with the utilities. If all the Windows machines crashed, it took about 80,000 pounds of raw materials to restart the production lines. Forklifts would be filling up the dumpster on the back dock.

Every night at midnight, proprietary software known as BackupExec would start at midnight. After about half an hour, the load average would increase on the Oracle database and crash it. Every production machine would routinely push the production report and would crash the entire production line if it wasn't there to sync. The whole plant would shut down shortly after midnight, every night. After a week, this got old, fast.

One night, I had a life changing event with a Windows machine. An operator called on the radio that a plastic extruder was on fire. It was a 330,000 kilowatt PVC extruder and the Microsoft Visual Basic computer was showing zero degrees on every heat zone. Obviously with the fire from the barrel heaters, it was at least several hundred degrees. A few moments later was a loud explosion and the plant floor went dark with chlorine gas. I could see light to the right of me and that's where I ran. When smoke cleared, I could see the extruder barrel had shot the thousand pound head across the plant floor like a canon. Fortunately I was only several feet away from being in front of it, so I lived. Visual Basic had an interesting feature where malfunctions like that happened a lot.

That week, a copy of Redhat Linux 4.1 arrived in the mail. I installed it on my new laptop. It was crazy fast. It did everything I wanted. I compiled the kernel. I compiled everything. It could play mp3 music. And it was reliable. It was all fun and games until some years after the IPO. Google did the same thing. I would soon learn we had a term for this. #enshitification

So this is why I love free open source software and despise walled gardens of software companies. I remember #RMS on #UseNet was a bit crazy then, but he made the #GNU software license that made this possible.

That's my Linux story. And how #Microsoft almost killed me. Other people have #Microsoft horror stories, but this one was mine.
