Lots to love about #codeberg right now.

#zig moved to it. LibreWolf is using it. Many #fediverse projects use it including the FEP process. #fedora set up their own Forgejo instance (the underlying software for Codeberg).

Now #gentoo is switching from GitHub to Codeberg!

I've migrated most of […]

It's the first time I see such a thorough comparison of #rss readers. As suspected, free, hosted readers appear to be nonexistent since the demise of Google Reader. Those that are free tend to have annoying scalability limits (e.g. 100 feeds max). So, you need to self-host, but not everyone can […]

The bike-mechanic-to-coder (or inverse) pipeline should be talked about more. It represents a skillset that, along with gardiners, healers and trash heap miners, will be the roles of utopia?? #foss #BikeTooter

advanced models, considered stellar for generating infographics and basic creative viz, now heralded for generating text without error, are still ways away from geospatial accuracy (at least based on a prompt) #GIS #gischat

Imagine if 30,000 of the world's universities each published 5 diamond open access journals, and each of those journals published just 20 properly peer-reviewed articles per year...

That'd be capacity for 3 million articles per year.

I'm not saying that's exactly the way things should go, but […]

@openvibe , not sure where I can make a feature request, but mine is to allow for some kind of bookmarking mechanism for RSS posts. The current functioning is pretty great, but there is no way to save them for later reading.

TIL that the president of Signal believes that people who run Mastodon and/or Matrix servers do so "in most cases" on hyperscaler* infrastructure.

This is my Mastodon server. And its UPS. And its networked KVM for when things get really hairy.
