GNOME 45's Nautilus File Manager Gets a Modern Full-Height Sidebar Layout
  • Clearly the dark mode is the modern one! Jokes aside, I just realized that there THREE menu options on that toolbar: hamburger, kebab, and waffle! I realize they do different things, but no wonder people are confused by and scared of computers. Also, now I'm hungry!

  • What is the current state of implementing federation in Gitea?
  • Yes, Gitea is a hard-fork of Gogs and started years ago. Forgejo is a soft-fork of Gitea when the primary authors of Gitea created a company of the same name to provide paid support (there's history there you can look up) but Gitea remains free and open source. Forgejo, supported by Codeberg, is a community fork and will upstream to Gitea.

    Gitea/Forgejo is a great option, they recently even added build actions which are compatible with Github Actions.

  • RISC-V Is Now An Official Debian Architecture
  • It's still a good thing. It's an open specification, so anyone creating a design that is compliant can use software targeted at RISC-V. Just like you can buy USB-C flash drive from any manufacturer and use it with any OS that supports USB mass storage!

  • Anytype has open sourced all their repos! Self hosting now possible!
  • Just to clarify the entire Logseq app is open source including the sync mechanism, the server backend to receive the sync endpoint and store the data isn't. I use Syncthing (FOSS and cross platform) to sync noted between my devices.

  • I made a windows program that runs in the background and lets you re-map keys dynamically per application. It has a pop-up when you're holding a toggle key to show you what each key does.
  • It's awesome you made something cool. Does it essentially function as a keylogger though? If so, might be a good idea to give users an indication of that and how to stay safe (not from your application but just not becoming conformable installing keylogger type application without consideration). Thanks for making something cool and sharing!

  • Looking for Rec: Offline note taking app?
  • Logseq fits the bill. By default it opens today's date journal page and I just type everything into that and tag it (you can tag at any bullet level within the note). You can also create hierarchical tags like #topic/subtopic1 #topic/subtopic2, so the note will show up for topic regardless of the subtopic.

    Steamed iced espresso with lemon and honey

    I was making some steamed iced Americanos (Aerocano) last summer and really enjoyed that. I also enjoy the citros (nitro cold brew with a bit of lemonade) and find them very refreshing! So I decided to combine both and made this.

    Simple syrup made with honey, fresh squeezed lemon juice, a double espresso, steamed with crushed ice, and served over a giant ice cube. Dialing in the recipe but it's a delicious refreshing summer drink.

    Work around: upgrade to 0.0.35 and avoid crashing

    I've been seeing a lot of posts about people being stuck between server (lemmy 0.18) and client (Jerboa 0.0.33—35) versions (not installed from IzzyOnDroid and logged in) with Jerboa crashing. Here's a way to avoid that issue while still being able to log in and browse both Lemmy 0.18 or older instances.

    • Add IzzyOnDroid repo to F-Droid
    • Delete app data from Android app info (edit)
    • Uninstall current version of Jerboa
    • Install 0.0.33 IzzyOnDroid version of Jerboa
    • Set phone to Airplane mode
    • Open Jerboa and use the hamburger menu to add your account
    • Fill in server, username, and password
    • Turn off Airplane mode
    • Login

    You'll get a old server version notification of your server hasn't updated but you'll be able to use Jerboa regardless of server version.

    Hope this helps!

    Fighter planes in the 1950s used the  Bendix Central Air Data Computer to determine air speed, mach number, altitude and so forth from pressure. It is electromechanical, using gears and synchros for its computations. Amazingly, it is modular and can be easily disassembled.

    We separated the top layer from the rest for testing. The "interface" between the layers is two gears and an electrical connection. The electronic servo amplifier blocks come off too.

    The backwards compatibility achieved by clever "simple mechanics" is very cool!

    Ko-fi hype? No liberapay?

    I just chipped in for lemmy.one and that got me thinking that I've seen a lot more of Ko-fi.com popping up instead of Patreon. Is it because of fees or an one time tip jar feature?

    I'm also curious as to why more folks don't use https://liberapay.com/ especially the more federated/FOSS minded folks.

    Just trying to learn what's hot and what's not and what the creators/devs prefer and why.
