I'm really into electronics, Linux (Debian mainly), opensource, and construction. Always trying to find something new to learn
Busy day today!
Flashed my ender 3 3D printer with TH3D firmware which was successful and replaced the exhaust on my car and bled the brakes, shattered now! busy day tomorrow I think as well.
Fosstodon.org is an instance focused on free and open-source software. Come join the conversation :)
.@Framasoft's crowdfunding for #PeerTube has just passed 100%, so it will definitely get funding 🎉 👏 🍾
There's still 12 days to go, so the appeal is going for a stretch goal to add even more features 😎
Well done everyone! 👍
So my need for a new ereader is mounting...
Looking for suggestions on a decent hackable/FOSS friendly reader, mainly synced via Calibre, ideally with built-in backlight.
I hear Kobo is a good fit, but which model? Any experiences fedi-folks would care to share? Other devices/brands to check out?
Congrats @Chocobozzz and the whole @Framasoft team on reaching their funding goal for #peertube. There is still 12 days left to reach some stretch goals, but this is already an incredible achievement. #federation #p2p #video https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/en/projects/peertube-a-free-and-federated-video-platform

Let's take a breather from the Article13 mess, and focus on some good news:
#PeerTube has just passed the 50% mark on its crowdfunding with 15 days to go 🎉
Lots of people are unhappy with #Google's #YouTube, it is treating its users like it owns them 🤑 👎
The video world really needs the kind of ethical alternative that PeerTube offers 😎 👍
Help the video world declare indepdendence by contributing and/or sharing the crowdfunding:

@craigmaloney @Jo @jjg it's not actually an RSS Reader, its rather a federated reddit/hackernews alternative :) but im pretty sure it can be tuned into one with help of bots
Already 100+ PeerTube instances and close to 10 000 videos!
PeerTube has proven it works, now let's develop this video-tube alternative to its v1!

You have probably heard about PeerTube – the alternative to YouTube that's open source, decentralized and federated. If not, here's a short video that explains what it is and how it works.

Some Foss projects I actively use and continually ticker with are :
#Openwrt router software
#Openhab home automation
#Nextcloud self hosted personal cloud storage
Some projects I'm actively interested in are:
#Purism5 I'm intrigued how successful this will be, if it become very usable I will switch in a heartbeat.
#MycroftAI I've funded this project of kickstarter and I can't wait till my mark 2 is delivered.
What projects are you all interested in ?
Introducing Fosstodon!
I interviewed @kev and @mike to get the skinny on my favorite instance on Mastodon! Below is the result of the interview. I hope you all enjoy!
https://h4ck3r9.com/fosstodon.html#fosstodon
I think @fosstodon has some really great ideas! That's why I wanted to write about them!
Feedback is welcome!
Since moving to @fosstodon instance from another instance I've noticed I'm looking at the tusky app more to see what's been written. Although I have been a bit lazy with sending many toots.
Well done @kev @mike for a rock solid instance .
Donations for support will follow soon .
The latest Openhab update broke my system , spent best part of yesterday trying to fix it and now my sensors are playing up . ... It never rains !
@jmwright hey Jeremy , I've got a creality Ender 3 on the way hopefully I'll be up and running in no time and can get some pretty decent prints from it . Any advice for someone new to 3d printing ?
