Looks pretty much opinionated. I like the colors and the whole of the image. I can agree with Gentoo Linux being very interesting, but not sure about CentOS. In that case I'd rather use Rocky or Alma, though for servers Debian fits my bill.
I'm using linux mint 21.3, and a process (brave aka chrome) sometimes memory leaking, so eats all the RAM, and then linux goes into swap death loop, when everything freezes (sometimes the mouse cursor is moving), and nothing can't be done, i can just see the HDD led blinking, and do a reset....
I've posted this because I believe Alpine Linux deserves more attention (And I'm a BSD fan, but that is irrelevant). It is light weight and very small and can be used on SBC boards. The documentation of Alpine Linux leaves a lot to be desired for beginning Linux users but is kind of okay for the more experienced Linux user.
Unfortunately, despite our efforts to find a new home for EU Voice and EU Video in other EUIs, we have been unable to secure new ownership to maintain the servers and sustain operations at the high standards that EUIs and our users deserve”.
The EU is still on Mastodon. https://social.network.europa.eu/@EU_Commission/112280054595900671 with 18 active users currently. I am not too keen on their content but I do see it as progress. When big names move from Tw(X)tter and other corporate silos, or at least use the alternatives like Mastodon alongside FB and so on, it can be an example for other organisations, companies and citizens to follow and use the Fediverse as well and I consider that a win.
The article was about EU Voice and EU video, the latter was with PeerTube. On the one hand I think it is a pity that they gave up, on the other hand the popularity and use of Google YouTube is enormous. It is not a monopoly but for countless people it is an addiction difficult to stay away from.
Yes. I think (seen in other news) it is a shame to repeatedly see governments, companies and others say things like "We have no choice than to move to the cloud, because their offer and services are irreplaceable" where the cloud is GAFAM.
Meanwhile new data centers for Microsoft and Google are build in Europe, which maybe offers new jobs to some, but increases dependency on GAFAM. I found this article a sad story. A voice "successful" pilot but probably "never again" cause "money". But I guess the lobbying is strong in that area too, besides the easy of use of "just using YouTube". Last week I read an interview with a farmer mentioning that he and other farmers talked to high ranked EU politicians which encouraged them to keep protesting for a more sustainable agriculture but "they could not do anything for them". The farmer concluded that the lobbying by companies is very strong :(

It occurs to me that as (a) I'm the only one accessing this share and (b) mode changes
are not written back to the CIFS filesystem anyway, it doesn't matter whether the mode
is 777 or 755. Therefore, the following fixes the issue:

Because it’s decentralised, we don’t have an exact total. Based on data we have
about the largest ActivityPub platforms, particularly Meta/Threads, it’ll be between
170-200million users by the summer of 2024. Ghost will be adding tens-of-millions
more to that total.
Are you working together with anyone else on this?
Yes! Our friends at Buttondown are also building ActivityPub support right now,
and we've received kind offers of help from teams at Mastodon & the ActivityPub
spec authors.
This is DeltaChat desktop client but not with the default Electron. Compile instructions for Debian, Arch Linux and openSUSE. One Linux distribution has this packaged : NixOS, package name kdeltachat-unstable. The software developer is also active in the DeltaChat forum. Posting this here to give this project some more attention...
I've compiled kdeltachat yesterday and it is different from the default Electron based Deltachat desktop app. At startup it immediately shows a big configuration screen inviting the user to fill in email address, SMTP port and a lot more text fields. The default Deltachat app looks polished and much nicer for "normies". Ignoring and closing that configuration part and it looks like a simple Qt app without much colors so I guess it the app is a work in progress. Maybe I'll provide some screen shots later.
Compile it yourself! File a bug report with the software developer! (I'm just the messenger of this post) I've shared the web link of the project for people who dislike having too many Electron based applications on their computer, like people using older hardware. You may be fine with the Electron based one, screen shots of that here : https://delta.chat/en/
The government modified the regulations again, substantially loosening them, and
Bernstein, now a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, challenged them
again. This time, he chose to represent himself, although he had no formal legal
training. On October 15, 2003, almost nine years after Bernstein first brought the
case, the judge dismissed it and asked Bernstein to come back when the government made
a "concrete threat".
openSUSE has German origins, but was bought in the past by Novell in USA, then went into other USA hands, and then it was sold to a Swedish company's German sub division, and located in Luxembourg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUSE_S.A.

Here it is fine for me in a browser on the desktop. Maybe your server blocked or muted something or has some configuration mistake ? Or maybe on your phone app ? Test on a few different browsers on desktop ? Try un-subcribe and then sub again ?
