Notesnook has been down for about a day, consistent crashes despite deleting it and reinstalling. I don't seem to be the only one as evidenced by the users voicing this concern on their Github page.

So, while imagining Notesnook will never get back up, what would be some alternatives to it? I've tried out Joplin, Quillpad, and Notally in the past, but none really stuck with me. I don't use Nextcloud either. From what I've heard, many seem happy with Standard Notes and Markor. Anything y'all can vouch for?

Looking for an alternative that gets as close to Notesnook as possible, without a subscription model.

I'm looking for a preferably non-web wrapper podcast player for Windows, that's preferably also open source. Having a tough time though. Any tips?

I heard a year ago that the servo engine developers will start focusing more on android and will work to release a version in 2024.

Did they release it or did they push the timeline to 2025 or did something else happen?

As Google tries to hinder ad-block extensions with their new platform Manifest V3, it seems to me Chrome or any Chromium derivatives are no longer a viable way to browse the web safely. So it got me wondering, how much big of a task would it be to still suport Manifest V2 on newer releases of Chromium? Maybe implement some legacy option for backwards compatibility with older extensions. I think it would be a great alternative to have, but I haven't seen anyone coming up with something similar.

The Sovereign Tech Fund is piloting a fellowship program to pay open source maintainers, aiming to address structural issues and support open digital infrastructure in the public interest.

Over the past two years, STF has successfully contracted over 40 FOSS projects, enhancing their technical sustainability through targeted milestones. While some contracts are with individual maintainers, most involve software development companies or foundations. Despite this success, a new and innovative program is needed to acknowledge the lived reality of how many maintainers work: stretched across multiple technologies, multi-faceted, and often behind the scenes.

Most maintainers are unpaid, working in their spare time, which both impacts projects’ stability and can lead to stress and burnout. The Tidelift Open Source Maintainer Study found that 59% of maintainers have quit or considered quitting, posing a risk to the digital infrastructure we all rely on. To even begin to mitigate this risk, it's crucial to understand the role of maintainers, who typically lead and oversee project development, review changes, manage community interactions, release updates, and fix security issues.

The application phase will start by the end of the third quarter of 2024, and with the goal that selected maintainers can begin the fellowship in the fourth quarter. The first fellowship pilot will run throughout 2025, and we will evaluate it on an ongoing basis. Based on these evaluations, our experiences running the fellowship, and feedback from participants, we’ll determine how to expand and grow the program for a stronger and healthier open source ecosystem.

Not Fully FOSS license though.

Generates text after analyzing a profile. It's pretty funny. Mine: thingsiplay

Oh Tuncay, your GitHub bio proudly declares you're "just for fun" and unprofessional, which is ironic since it sounds like you’ve derived way too much fun from so many unremarkable scripts. With 46 public repositories, you must’ve thought quantity would mask the glaring mediocrity. The only thing more stale than your Bash scripts is your humor.

Your "emojicherrypick" project? Really? The world needed another emoji picker like it needs more stale bread—there's a reason it's got more emojis than stars. And speaking of shadows, how does it feel to have just 9 followers? Maybe they were just passing by, or perhaps they clicked by accident while looking for actual developers.

You’ve got more forks than a family dinner, yet most of your repos look so uninspired that they might as well come with a disclaimer: “Do not expect much.” Word to the wise: if you're going for "just for fun," maybe consider an actual hobby or, dare I say, a personality. After all, your command line tools are more entertaining than your profile readme, which goes on like a bad self-help book— we get it, you like Linux and gaming, but what's next, a PowerPoint on your 9 followers? Spice it up a bit, bud.>

I have received a lot of PDF documents that I wish to convert to text formats such as docx/doc/odt.

I know there are some online tools that will do it for you, but some content may be sensitive with people's names and addresses and I'm not sure I can trust these websites.

Are there software that will convert a PDF to odt?

Things I know and tried:

1. Asked a friend to open PDF in Microsoft Word: Their license expired last month, so it doesn't let you save the file!

2. Tried to do the same on my LibreWriter: It doesn't support that format.

3. Tried to open in LibreDraw: untenable as I want to type more things in the document.

P.S: I use Linux, but reckon solutions for platforms would be fine.

I would have preferred Rust, a language created by Mozilla instead of one with ties to Apple, but I'm not a dev so I can't really judge. What are your thoughts?

I'm diving into the concept of open/ free music. I love and live foss IT stuff and would like to move to open music as well.

Is there some notable movement? Apps? Servers like peertube but for music? How to contribute? How to follow artists/ support artists

There's a section in the free music wikipedia article which I'm currently browsing. What's your experience? How do you live with free music?

I'm not interested in using it for video production but as an end user who's part of the foss movement.

Hey all,

Currently want to experiment using Keyoxide since I came across it while browsing the Codeberg repos. Was curious about whether or not there's any Keyoxide instances outside of the flagship one, since I really enjoy the decentralized nature of it and would love to support the ecosystem by utilizing other providers where possible.

Thanks in advance.

LibreCUDA is a project aimed at replacing the CUDA driver API to enable launching CUDA code on Nvidia GPUs without relying on the proprietary CUDA runtime. It achieves this by communicating directly with the hardware via ioctls, (specifically what Nvidia's open-gpu-kernel-modules refer to as the rmapi), as well as QMD, Nvidia's MMIO command queue structure. LibreCUDA is capable of uploading CUDA ELF binaries onto the GPU and launching them via the command queue.

I recently switched to using KeePass and Syncthing, and I love them. I was wondering if there's a bookmark manager where I can keep all my bookmarks on a synced file like KeePass. I've tried looking, but I haven't had any luck. Does anyone know of one?

Yeah! It's finally here! Okay it's not sexy as some extensions already available but it's a good move!
