Introducing the Mecha Comet
The Mecha Comet is a re-imagined portable computer that gives you the flexibility in hardware and software both, for your usecase. It all started with us wanting to build a small computer that we could easily program, deploy and manage remotely.

Once we entered this rabbit hole, we realised how customisable and versatile we could make this, bring the fun with computers back.

Our largest advantage is that we do everything ourselves - mechanicals, PCB design, software and supply chain. We are a full-time team of 15 and are supported by a number of agencies, contractors and contributors. This gives us a unique edge wherein we are in control of every part of the product and are able to craft your experience on every level.

Au travers de la découverte de certains biais cognitifs, nous découvrons comment les GAFAM et leurs filiales ont mis en place un piège qui se referme chaque jour sur les individus.
Du cahier de la CNIL appelé "La forme des choix" au rapport "Enfants et écrans, à la recherche du temps perdu", nous balayons l'Histoire des services en lignes et ce qui a fait regretter son invention à Sir Tim Berners lee.
Nous terminons sur les perspectives pour sortir du capitalisme de surveillance et retrouver notre souveraineté numérique en favorisant une citoyenneté numérique éclairée.

another fediverse software ? :)

Got a idea ? Write it up in comment 😍👍

As you know, we purposed you an hackathon for the fediverse. Two days is short, you may not have free time. Its goal is not speed up development and create lousy code and documentation. No.

The main idea is to form some team and contribute together on some project at the beginning of each month : wiki, translation, documentation, coding...

I hope that it will turn out as a recurring event later. :3

Why ? I believe it will attract new users, contributors to the fediverse, and i hope news people will join us...and make free software shine. I believe in free software, i believe its 4 freedoms can improve our democracy and protect users rights.

Let's go back to the hackathon. Some may prefer a slow spaced development, they are right, it is a rock solid development. Its goal is not to replace its current development. we want to invite new people being part of the fediverse, guide them, explain them how they can contribute and slowly being part of the free software movement.

There is plenty way to contribute and i hope it will invite news contributors if we organize a recurring event. :3

• fund, donation
• coding software, mobile app
• documentation
• communication : reaching people, taking screenshoot
• reporting bugs
• squashing bug
• suggesting new ideas
• ...

The fediverse is organic and follow your need. So don't be afraid to voice your need, report bug, create poster...

so, maybe you will join us ? Is there something you want to do ? :)

And i repost the same post so lemmy user can see us. Sorry for the duplicate. 😅

Hi everybody,

I hope you are well. I’m quite busy with my course, so i’m not there a lot. Sorry and thank you for animating this community and being kind. You are awesome. :)

During this week-end, i planned to advance french translation and the Piefed wiki. We decided a meeting with french translators so we can share our ideas and decide together about the most accurate translation.

And i thought why not inviting you. Yes, you ☺️

I purpose you a hackathon this week-end. Yeah, this idea just popped up in my mind. 😁

There is plenty things to do : documentation, translation…and not only PieFed (lemmy, mbin, nodeBB, loops, iceshrimp…)

We can coordinate our effort to make the fediverse a quite good place. If you want to do a hackathon for another software, i suggest to create a separate post and share its link in comment (we also need a way to centralize this event for better coordination). ☺️

Here is a draft of this idea. Nothing new but i want to setup a set of rules so we don’t waste our energy and time. :)

• hackathon start the week-end, at the beggining of each month (depend of your need)
• before the hackathon, we create a to-do list : documentation, code development, mobile app, translation, ads, UI, updating wiki, squashing small bug…everything missing.
• in comment section, we create small team (code, wiki, communication…) and tell users : when ? How many people ? Topics ? And then, you self-organize together.

What do you think ? Would you be interested by those workshops ? Maybe you need more time and already have plan for this week ? We can repport it to March. Got another idea ? :3

A big thank you to those who contributed to making this release, translating, writing documentation, providing emotional support and promoting PieFed! None of this would happen without you all.

New hotness

• Pronouns - when you put pronouns into Extra Fields on your profile that is used as a flair in all communities where you haven't set a flair yet
• Private communities - no federation, only certain roles (depends on the community) can invite new people. Posts inside are only visible to members.
• Mastodon can now quote-boost PieFed posts
• Plain http web UI (no SSL required) with SSL used during federation - see http://retro.piefed.com/
• Downvotes can be turned off completely in a community, not just instance-wide
• Admins can sticky a post on the home page, not just mods in their communities
• Auto-delete of replies on remote instances when reply author has been blocked by parent content author (only works in PieFed communities due to a ActivityPub limitation)
• On home page when showing number of replies a post has, calculate the sum of the replies on all cross-posts and display that
• New users can only do 3 posts in their first 24h, to reduce floods of posts by that guy who keeps deleting his accounts and making new ones

More good stuff

• Improve emoji federation compatibility
• Change order of emoji in picker to present most-used ones first
• Daily time limit on usage to help people use PieFed less (released in 1.5.2)
• A way to report posts that need to be tagged as AI generated
• Better accessibility
• Improved handling of bold and italics in markdown parsing
• Don't accept votes from people the author has blocked
• Admins can resend email address verification email
• Admins can add notes to instances to keep track of defederation reasons, etc
• Search form has been simplified
• Option for admins to disable the em-dash detector
• Multiple minor bugfixes and security enhancements

To upgrade from 1.5.x

git pull  
git checkout v1.6.x  

At this point you might see an error message about a merge conflict with compose.yaml. To preserve your custom compose.yaml you will need to copy it somewhere else, then git checkout compose.yaml then git pull again. This time the pull will succeed so after that copy your custom compose.yaml it back, overwriting the one from git.

Then,

./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.sh

If you had to do the compose.yaml fix up earlier then you might want to compare what you have with https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/compose.yaml and manually copy and paste some improvements in particular the command: part of the db container which tunes postgresql for performance. Adjust the numbers for your system.

This time the database migrations will not take long.

On the complexities of protocol governance.

There are only two organisations that are active in the fediverse that are a paid member of the W3C: Meta and the Social Web Foundation. With the Social Web Foundation also receiving funding from Meta, the company that built Threads now has more institutional standing in ActivityPub governance than any of the organisations actually building open fediverse software. Mastodon gGmbH, Framasoft, and others are not W3C members and cannot participate in the Working Group unless they are invited.

La V0 du logiciel flop! avait été présentée au Capitole du Libre 2023. Cette version, déployée dans une 10aine d'établissements d'enseignement supérieur, relevait déjà le défi de permettre une gestion coopérative mais aussi de génération automatique des emplois du temps.
→ Chacun·e peut saisir ses préférences et contraintes
→ Un solveur linéaire (PLNE) calcule le meilleur emploi du temps possible
→ Chacun·e est alors libre de le perfectionner en le modifiant, l'outil assurant que les contraintes restent respectées.

On a vu que si les solutions propriétaires n'atteignent pas cet objectif (pourtant assez universellement exprimé) c'est précisément parce qu'elle ne font pas le pari de la coopération / autogestion.

Depuis 2023, une refonte complète de l'outil a été initiée : refonte des modèles, finalisation de l'api-REST, développement de composants vue.js uniformisés accessibles à toustes les développeur·euse·s, documentation, design, mais surtout mise en place d'outils sérieux de formattage et de lint, de tests, d'environnements de développement/déploiement via docker, d'une CI bien configurée, d'une méthodologie de travail kanban lisible pour la communauté...

Nous re-présenterons les fondements d'une gestion coopérative des emplois du temps, l'ensemble des nouveautés de cette V1 (non-encore publiée, mais qui a obtenu un financement européen via NLNET), mais également toutes les questions qu'ont soulevé pour nous ce passage d'un outil artisanal dont le code source est public à (on l'espère) un réel logiciel libre permettant à la communauté de participer facilement à son développement.

Il existe deux façons d’installer un système d'exploitation sur une machine:

• utiliser un logiciel d’installation sur lequel il faut “booter” afin de configurer un disque de la machine cible,
• utiliser un image préinstallée du système d'exploitation, par exemple une image Cloud.

Durant cette présentation, nous détaillerons la composition d’une image préinstallée et comment construire sa propre image. Cela nous permettra de comprendre comment les images de distributions telles qu’Ubuntu sont construites. Cela permettra aussi de mieux comprendre le rôle de l'installateur et ce qui se passe derrière l’interface utilisateur.
