There’s this but AFAIK it’s not for public institutions. For sure @dario, @llas, and the @fsfe know more!

@darnell I know @sirodoht is the best person to ask!

IMHO this is the best of @cwebber’s insane threads

One year later… Inception! 👀

The #Fairphone5’s front camera is working well (with an impressively smooth refresh rate) on #postmarketOS. 🚀

Shot from another #Fairphone 5 running #CalyxOS, that I actually bought a couple of hours after the original post ⤴️

Thank you so much for what you do, @postmarketOS! ❤️

The @EUCommission has summoned me to consult in an emergency nighttime meeting to devise an urgent plan to contrast the alarming escalation of foreign centralized social networks by fostering the development of the #Fediverse in the #EU.

Going in now. More info soon.

@mario I am coming and I DMed you, @alberto_cottica, but I fear you missed it 😬

@michaelc Yes I opened this issue a while ago and it still does not seem to be solved. I am a #Pixelfed fan, but there are some federation fundamentals that it would be very important to be fixed ASAP!

I made my first (minuscule) contribution to the Debian Wiki!

I added the fingerprint reader configuration commands for the Framework Laptop 13 with the AMD processor.

@mario damn, what kind of device are you hosting on?

@mario ahahah I fear you would need either something super old and inefficient (hence €€€) or something huge, powerful, and probably overkill for you, unless there is a secret resource-intensive cryptosomething you have in mind.

In the last case, regrettably, I would not hesitate to unfollow you 💕💕💕

@cas @fsfe

Actually what I meant is exactly what you wrote. I am sad to see people using Fedora (or any OS) superficially, for no particular reason. I am a big supporter of highly opinionated and conscious adoption of operating systems.

I admire Debian because of its intrinsic political positioning, even though if you ask me what is the actual difference between it and Fedora I could not name anything more than the package manager and the release type.

@_elena The best to self-host, especially because it is very light and optimized for single-person instances, is definitely @gotosocial.

I tested it on my YunoHost server while it was still in alpha, and it worked wonderfully already.

Software like #Friendica and #Sharkey work at their best for communities of friends, in my opinion.

@_elena You could self-host all of this just as easily using @yunohost and a VPS for 15 €/month MAX, or, even better, just with a RaspberryPi plugged in your modem.

Email is the only thing that is a nightmare self-hosted, to be fair.

Ho appena finito di tradurre tutto @readeck in italiano!

Un #SoftwareLibero favoloso, che sto self-hostando e usando molto intensamente.

I spent the last two days coding bepp, my first #Python project.

Its use case that is so specific I think nobody else will ever use it except me.

The tool is meant to clean up and merge together transaction summaries from Banca Etica and PayPal, exporting them in a simple #CSV.

Even though it’s a tiny silly script, I am very proud of it and I feel that I could create anything I set my mind to, now!

Thanks to my Introduction to Data Science course, that finally made me start learning Python with the time and dedication it deserves (my project for the course is very interesting too, will post about it in a few days).

This photo summarizes the incredible magic and resourcefulness of the #Fediverse.

I would have never met @filippodb and @melaniebartos if it wasn’t for it!

So many people from different backgrounds coming together at #SFSCON and finding points in common to do great things together!

Our quick chat with @kirschner opened up super interesting perspectives and conversations.

Despite everything, the future looks bright if there is empathy, enthusiasm, and understanding.

ALWAYS ROCK’n’ROLL! 🤟🏼❤️🚀

This is the #networking I like when

I want people to maintain personal sites in the same way they wrote zines. I want people to share homemade music through homemade social networks, and to create both just for the pure love of it. I want our personalities to come through not just in the words or links we share, but in the URLS we use and the code we write. I dream of regional communities forming online, based around organically grown web rings, and for idiosyncrasies to form in the aesthetics of our sites based on the communities we learned to code from. Basically, to bring back all the things that made the early internet so exciting and open and welcoming.
