  • Why do people who try to convince others to switch to metric focus so much on the conversions?

    Jump

  • Correct! And yet....

    wtf is 2026/1/4? is that January, or April. who sent this.. where are they located?

    Though to be fair the chances of ISO 8601 goes up when year comes first

  • Looking for a Non-Chromium Browser That Actually Works

    Jump

  • Why not Firefox itself? It has built-in option for vertical tabs, or you can use the extension TreeStyleTabs which gives you even more options.DRM works fine on Linux (at least it did last time I used Netflix, though that's a while ago)

    There's also Firefox derivatives like Waterfox and LibreWolf for a slightly different direction.

  • My first completed KiCad project: A breadboard adapter for Aries low-profile ZIF sockets

  • Congrats on the completed project! KiCAD is so cool. Who did you use for PCB fabrication?

  • Some tips for an open source read it later service

    Jump

  • I haven't tried it yet, but came across savr the other day. Looks promising

    savr: Read it later. Keep it local. No server needed. — Savr is an app for saving online content to read later. It is file-centric, offline first, future proof, and favors decentralization.

    PWA, extension for FF and Chrome , optional sync via Dropbox or own storage

  • Bluesky just verified ICE

    Jump

  • Verified just means we can believe that they are who they say they are. Doesn't mean that they're trustworthy or believable. Or to put it another way: The identity of their account is verified. The contents of their posts are not verified.

    I don't agree with the point OP is trying to make in this instance regarding verification. (Letting that well documented lethally violent gang of thugs use their platform is Bluesky's actual transgression here)

  • Bluesky just verified ICE

    Jump

  • The will to do so.

    Also finding an instance to register on that won't ban them for

    No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies

  • Bluesky just verified ICE

    Jump

  • Yes, though it works a bit differently.

    In your mastodon bio you link to your other precenses on the web (webpage, twitter, GitHub, whatever)

    On those profiles you add an (invisible) link to your mastodon profile. Mastodon can then verify that your mastodon profile and your other sites are controlled by the same entity, and get a blue tick.

  • Trade between EU member states is slowing, data shows

    Jump

  • Paywalled, so can't comment on the whole article.

    But the excerpt does not support the headline: Share of EU GDP says nothing about internal or external trade growing or shrinking, only that the relative amount of external to internal trade move to slightly more external

  • Recommend a Pdf viewer for Windows.

    Jump

  • Do you need the pdf to open in Firefox/browser?

    If not, PDF-XChange Editor is a pretty good advanced standalone program. It comes in free and paid versions

    EDIT: Never mind, just noticed this is the FOSS community. PDF-XChange Editor is not FOSS

  • Good FOSS design software for beginners?

    Jump

  • Dune3D is a relatively new 3D CAD for Linux. https://docs.dune3d.org/en/latest/ I haven't tried it, but it looks very promising.

    Personally, I use FreeCAD, which is leagues better than it used to be, and improving quickly

  • Day 22 and we're so glad to be with you!

    Jump

  • Tan Eggs advent calender is a little nugget of joy every day. Thank you for posting these

  • Danish postal service to stop delivering letters after 400 years

    Jump

  • Not sure I buy the "not critical infrastructure" argument. Even if 95% of public (and private) correspondence is digital these days, paper-mail is still used as a fallback for some institutions and whenever a physical copy must be sent for whatever reason.

  • Fractal North inspired 10 inch rack

    Jump

  • Wow this is awesome on so many levels!

    Could you just buy wood sticks of that size in the hardware store, or did you have cut them to width yourself? And how is the wood glue sticking to the plastic flare? (Never tried using wood glue on plastic before)

  • Lightweight and flexible: Bitwarden lite self-host deployment is now generally available | Bitwarden

  • Yikes, are those required? Looks very rug-shaped, perfect for pulling things. Or not. Who knows?

  • Lightweight and flexible: Bitwarden lite self-host deployment is now generally available | Bitwarden

    Jump

  • Yeah it's a normal model, but BitWarden is a bit special in that their original server-side implementation was enough of a pain to self-host on a small scale that an alternative implementation Vautlwarden was created. And Vaultwarden became very popular in self-hosted circles. And now many years later BitWarden offers a Lite server which scales down. I think it's a good thing, just a bit unusual. I'm struggling to think of similar examples.

    I'm sure Vaultwarden still funnels plenty of enterprise use of BitWarden, since Vaultwarden users still use official BitWarden client.

  • Forward thinking venture capital funded companies are getting rarer, hence the question on motivation. Especially the last few years many VC Foss companies have squeezed harder the other way (gitea, Terraform, docker). So all kudos to BitWarden for launching Lite.

    What you say a about brand dominance, or brand protection makes a lot of sense. It's not a good look for them that a large number of people choose to use an unofficial implementation instead of theirs. And should there ever be a catastrophic security issue with Vaultwarden, it would still reflect bad on BitWarden as that kind of nuance (like "unofficial server side implementation") tend to get lost in reporting. Having more IT workers self-host official version probably also helps pave the way for bringing enterprise-bitwarden to companies.

    Valve are a bit of a unicorn though, because they are privately owned. There's no investors demanding ROI the next quarter, which gives them freedom to think long term.When Microsoft launched windows8 and the Microsoft Store, Valve took that as an existential threat to their whole business model (the Steam store). Valve feared that Microsoft was trying to position itself like Apple on iOS and Google on Android, where there is only one platform store, and all apps are purchased through the platform store, and the platform store takes that sweet sweet 30% cut. So Valve pivoted to ensure the Steam store would not be obsolete, and give customers a reason to still use the Steam store. And what they achieved is awesome, for Linux, for Valve and for gamers. But it took nearly a decade, which is a level of patience few companies have.

  • Filesystem suddenly becoming read-only?

    Jump

  • I had the same happen on the root folder on a SATA SSD. The SSD was dying (don't remember if there was SMART errors, but the dmesg log showed write-errors. I cloned old SSD to a new SSD and haven't seen the problem since. That was years ago.

    When there are multiple consecutive write errors, Linux will re-moumt the partition as read-only to protect the data. (There usually a statement along the lines of "on-error:remount-ro" for the partition in the /etc/fstab file)

    Jump

  • Wonder what's the reasoning behind offering this Lite version. I don't imagine competing with Vaultwarden is very lucrative financially.

  • 700+ self-hosted Git instances battered in 0-day attacks with no fix imminent

  • To be honest I don't remember why I set up gitea with MySQL instead of sqlite (or MariaDB), its quite a few years ago. And sqlite would probably be fine for my single-user instance
