all your half-finished projects are still experience that contributes directly to your skills and confidence. the dozen half-finished projects are the seeds of the finished one that you could never have handled a decade ago.

Hi everyone! 👋 We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security – So if you see someone recommending it, please inform them about the risks – but also that there are actively maintained successor projects (like LibreOffice). #foss #OpenSource

Are there any good resources out there for how to help start/grow a community of people looking to break away from #BigTech, and perhaps digital technology in general, with an emphasis on helping non-technical people?

#Solarpunk/#LowTech/#Degrowth is definitely the right destination, but it's hard, I feel, to translate that into some sort of roadmap for people not already technically literate.

Hi, I wrote about one of my all-time favorite songs and the person who originally shared it with me.

I'm looking for people who have successfully migrated from SQLite to PostgreSQL for #GotoSocial. I did some tinkering using PgLoader and wasn't able to migrate the schema without dropping default values and indexes.

The next step would be to take the database structure from a clean PostgreSQL installation and migrate just the data using PgLoader, but I haven't attempted that yet.

Please share your experiences :-)

tonight a water mains broke and much of east #Berlin (easily a million people or more) had no water for several hours and the only place there was any official information to be found was on fucking Twitter? Come on, how hard is it to put this on the water company's website?

It is no longer possible to trust the confidentiality of anything you send to a Windows user, because it’ll be screenshotted and sent to Microsoft.

Even if you trust the recipient, sending things to Windows users is functionally identical to publishing them to people who wish to exploit you.

Par le pouvoir du cron ancestral j'en appelle à la toute puissance de la congrégation des administrat⋅eur⋅rice⋅s de serveurs XMPP.

Pour notre serveur de messagerie familial, j'utilise depuis des années ejabberd. J'entends ici et là que houlala prosody est hyper plus mieux. Je ne vais pas chercher à savoir si c'est vrai ou pas, je ne compte pas lancer un débat à la emacs vs. vim (alors que j'utilise nano, en plus).

Par contre. Ce qui m'intéresserait, c'est de savoir si certain⋅e⋅s ont déjà fait une migration d'ejabberd à prosody, de façon "transparente" pour leurs utilisateurs, et si oui, si c'est compliqué ou à la portée de qui voudra bien faire l'effort de lire un peu de doc.

Partages/Boosts/Repouets/Relais évidemment bienvenus.
