Yes and no. Code development for Nitter has officially stopped afaik, but there are still some instances not completely dead.

That looks neat and useful. <nitpick mode on> It is an Android wrapper around rclone not rsync.<nitpick mode off> Thanks for sharing.

:( Website of NGI :

• https://www.ngi.eu

And they appear to have a fresh Mastodon account hosted by the EU :

• https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EC_NGI

According to this I think this is the Mastodon account of the Funkwhale developer https://mastodon.eliotberriot.com/@funkwhale which is down as well. The first link also has a link to their Matrix channel.

The developer maybe moved on to something new, like author of neofetch took up farming a few months ago.

With etherpad-lite the default is guest mode and no protection at all (but I’ve seen that with plugins user accounts can be made). With Hedgedoc and Cryptpad user accounts can be made and I think with that “private” protected pads are possible.

Since you mentioned Etherpad-lite :

• https://hedgedoc.org
• https://cryptpad.org

Framasoft did a great job on Mobilizon! Good that they go for a healthy approach and not eventually end up with burned out developers and maintainers.

Muting posts and comments is possible with PieFed https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi For Lemmy I guess you or others can check Lemmy’s GitHub issues to see whether this feature has been requested already.

Okay. Got a source for that ? I had the impression from the SerenityOS developer that the donations came because of the videos that Andreas is making but I could be wrong.

Thanks for sharing!

Not happy with Firefox ? For a more privacy friendly Firefox fork check LibreWolf : https://librewolf.net You don’t have to remove Firefox, you can run both at the same time.

Is that the same one that brought down the Linux Mint forums ?

Three examples of open source software where at least one developer could give up their regular job and work full-time on the open source project. I’m sure there’s more (The Linux kernel maybe ?) :

• Mastodon
• Lichess
• SerenityOS

In both cases possible because of people donating. The last example is quite remarkable given the personal history of the developer and the fact that it was “just” a fun project with the developer sharing videos about programming for the fun project.

When I saw this posted I thought : “Oh no, not yet another post about Microsoft releasing DOS source code” but the article is written by none other than the founder of FreeDOS. Nice, and an interesting read. Thanks for sharing.

I take the easy way out https://tosdr.org (no oven btw).

Agreed!
