Opensource

See the link for the full list of changes.

For those unfamiliar, Windhawk is a GPLv3 program that makes it easier to customize Windows, such as modifying the start menu, changing the UI/UX, among other things. I personally got it to reduce the size of the task bar on a laptop with a small screen and it worked great.

For flutter .arb files. Preferably open source and low cost.

Also side question: how do you properly keep track of and credit translators?

StreetComplete is an easy to use editor of OpenStreetMap data available for Android. It can be used without any OpenStreetMap-specific knowledge. It asks simple questions, with answers directly used to edit and improve OpenStreetMap data. The app is aimed at users who do not know anything about OSM tagging schemes but still want to contribute to OpenStreetMap.

Key changes in this release:

• Android below 7.1 no longer supported
• Main screen improvements
• New overlays
• New quests
• Quest and Overlay improvements
• General Improvements

Oregon State University's Open Source Lab may shut down without $250K in funding. Projects like Gentoo, Debian, Fedora, and many more rely on it.

After about 3 years since the last stable release, Deluge version 2.2.0 is available for download.

These days, qBittorrent seems to be the most popular torrent client in Open Source and Linux communities, but I thought it's worth mentioning the news on this long lived FOSS alternative.

I have been contributing to it for a few weeks now with the Neostumbler app

Hopefully it's not against the rules, if so, please let me know and I'll remove the post. Anyway:

I made an educational open source game for small kids (2-6 yo) where they can match cute animals (currently sea and dinosaur theme packs).

Features:

• cute pictures
• works on both a phone and a tablet
• multiple theme packs
• fully free, no tracking or anything
• there are multiple flavours, one of which bundles all of the assets and doesn't even have the permission to access the internet <- great if you're extra cautious
• big buttons, no reading necessary, small kids friendly

It can be downloaded both from GitHub and the Play Store.

"privacy friendly online transactions"

I came across this and it's looks interesting it seems to have been out for a while and seems to work well in the demo.

it sounds a bit like Blockchain, but it doesn't seem to be. which i would think makes it more appealing because the setup was easy... but i can't find any examples of it being used in the wild.

i was expecting to see more cases that used it when i saw there is funding for it from https://nlnet.nl/

i think this could be good to add into my app. but i wonder if it might not be a good idea if it hasnt established itself as reliable in the wild.

So this is a pretty big deal to me (it looks recent, just put up last October). One of my big frustrations with Matrix was that they didn’t offer helm charts for a kubernetes deployment, which makes it difficult for entities like nonprofits and community clubs to use it for their own purposes. Those entities need more hardware than an individual self hoster, and may want features like high availability, and kubernetes makes horizontal scaling and high availability easy.

Now, according to the site, many of these features seem to be "enterprise only" — but it's very strangely worded. I can't find anything that explicitly states these features aren't in the fully FOSS self hosted version of matrix-stack, and instead they seem to be only advertised as features of the enterprise version

My understanding of Kubernetes architecture is that it's difficult for people to not do high availability, which is why this makes me wonder.

Looking through the docs for the "enterprise version, it doesn't look like anything really stops me from doing this with the community addition.

They do claim to have rewritten synapse in rust though

Being built in Rust allows server workers to use multiple CPU cores for superior performance. It is fully Kubernetes-compatible, enabling scaling and resource allocation. By implementing shared data caches, Synapse Pro also significantly reduces RAM footprint and server costs. Compared to the community version of Synapse, it's at least 5x smaller for huge deployments.

And this part does not seem to be open source (unless it's rebranded conduit, but conduit doesn't seem to support the newer Matrix Authentication Service.)

So, it looks Matrix/Element has recently become simultaneously much more open source, but also more opaque.
