friendly reminder that not everyone has the time and/or the technical knowledge and/or the will to learn to use that software you consider to be the definitive solution to certain situation

and i can't believe i have to explicitly say this but

you shouldn't shame them for that.

I love Open Source Software. I pay money to the FSF. I've been using Linux full-time since 1994-5.

I worked for Sourceforge from 2008-2010. When the site burped while I was on-call it was me up at 3am making sure shit was working again.

I run my own servers. I serve my own email.

And yet there are certain services that I would rather other folks run because I don't enjoy being a full-time administrator.

Sometimes I just want to get shit done as best I can.

Bias toward free, but pragmatic.

Reminder that you should add this to .ssh/config:

AddKeysToAgent yes

Which will ssh-add keys on the fly as you use them to SSH into things

Hey, there's a developer called voodoo.io out there who keeps ripping off of indie devs' core game concepts, and releasing a shitty F2P version on app stores before the indie devs have finished their games.

Goldman Sachs gave them $200m in investment recently, so they're not going anywhere soon, but you can encourage you and your friends to ignore the fuck out of their games.

looks like a sizable chunk of the fediverse got grabbed by ArchiveBot and added to the Wayback Machine on April 5th as a response to the witches.town announcement

that explains why my profile is there (which is where I got the billy hatcher post from, it was a pinned post of mine when I was still on cybre.space)

I've been using this technique for years and can confirm it's robust and reliable.

Preparing for tomorrow and the day after, premiere in Ljubljana, using #Ardour and CALF audio plug-ins for live vocal processing and cue/play tracks and, most importantly, boosting some cuddly sub bass using CALF's multiband compressor.

btw, make sure gifs are set to auto play to see this awesome Mona Lisa blowing a kiss made by @yentru_oc

Where can I buy the whole album?

FYI, did same for Piwik/Matomo and Nextcloud:

Will need to add READMEs to these two at some point. But they're very similar to Snipe-IT (PHP apps, php-fpm container downloading and installing stuff automagically, configuration via envvars, automagic upgrade/migration script ran every time the container is restarted).

Time to get out there people. Time to make your voices heard.

if you ever find yourself upset with the "current generation's" slang of saying "feels" or "mood" too much just remember the 19th century had this
