Hello.

I'm considering to start working on some interactive roadmaps to learn the skills necessary for political organizing, union organizing and so on. The format is ideally similar to roadmap.sh, giving a high-level overview of what a certain area of knowledge is, where it sits in the scheme of things and what to learn first.roadmap.sh itself is open source and has an editor, but the license is weird and I'm not sure I want to rely on it.

At the same time, tools like Miro, Mural, or Figma have little interactivity and would hinder future collaboration. Mermaid is collaborative, but not interactive. Before committing to a compromise, I would like to ask if you know any better option similar to roadmap.sh but with more freedom for independent creators. If it's self-hosted, even better. Mind mapping tools with the right level of customization might also be an option if you know any that can be bent into looking like a roadmap.

PeerTube is a decentralized and federated alternative to YouTube. The goal of PeerTube is not to replace YouTube but to offer a viable alternative using the strength of ActivityPub and P2P protocols.

Being built on ActivityPub means PeerTube is able to be part of a bigger social network, the Fediverse (the Federated Universe). On the other hand, P2P technologies help PeerTube to solve the issue of money, inbound with all streaming platform : With PeerTube, you don't need to have a lot of bandwidth available on your server to host a PeerTube platform because all users (which didn't disable the feature) watching a video on PeerTube will be able to share this same video to other viewers.

If you are curious about PeerTube, we can't recommend you enough to check the official website to learn more about the project. If after that you want to try to use PeerTube as a content creator, you can try to find a platform available there to register or host yourself your own PeerTube platform on your own server.

The development of PeerTube is actually sponsored by Framasoft, a french non-for-profit popular educational organization, a group of friends convinced that an emancipating digital world is possible, convinced that it will arise through actual actions on real world and online with and for you!

I want to replace Google Play Services already on my SSG. Just wondering if there's an app that will push all the notifications...

I moved away from MS Windows a long while back and have ported everything EXCEPT presentations. I still use a friend's laptop just for PowerPoint.

I have used LibreOffice Impress and it is quite poor in design and the templates are very unprofessional.

I have used LaTeX beamer a lot and I am now tired of fighting it to make simple transitions look good, quickly customise a slide, etc.

Are there alternatives that I can use which are libre friendly as well as user-friendly?

Is there a good OS app to keep track of nutrition and weight? Starting ketogenic diet in 2 weeks. Been there, done that, so I know what I’m doing, but I used to keep track on my iphone, but now that I switched over to GrapheneOS and OpenSuse I’m a little bit lost in the Opensource sea.

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.

Recently I quit Strava and started using OsmAnd to do my routing and also recording of bike trips.

I can store and view the tracks fine, but the interface really is just for viewing single tracks. I would like to organize my recorded trips a little better, in a fashion that e.g. Strava allows:

  • add some meta information
  • compare tracks and all the related info
  • extract some further data from the tracks and compare them (something like "your fastest 2k")

Is something like this out there? (I did not deep dive into GPX itself, maybe I am looking for something that is not even in the data)

A read-only demo of Sriracha's output is available. Screenshots of the management panel are also available in the demo.

Sriracha allows anyone to host an imageboard or forum using Go.

Sriracha has full support for custom templating. Standard .gohtml templates are included, and site owners may specify a directory where any custom templates of the same name will override included templates.

Sriracha makes use of Go's plugin support to implement a plugin system. This allows site owners to customize their installations without making changes to Sriracha itself.

I created Sriracha not only out of curiosity, but also to provide a modern upgrade path for everyone using TinyIB, one of several imageboard systems I have created.

Hi all, I wanted to query what others are doing with their open source projects on codeberg.

I have a Nuxt3 project (will share soon) but wanted to add the following. How do you do it?

  1. CI: I know they have woodpecker. Do you use that, or do you roll your own?
  2. Docker Images: Where do you push these? I know forejo has a built in container repository but I can't find docs on the limits or how to use it?
  3. BOTS: specifically renovate to update those pesky npm dependencies.

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.

Break colourful bricks, catch bouncing coins and select powerful upgrades !

This is a roguelike twist on the original Breakout formula: The goal is to catch as many coins as possible during 7 levels.

I made a Node.js-based (with SSR) blogging engine that has newsletter components. It is MIT-licensed, targeting primarily the developers. The app uses Supabase abd Resend at the back.

Would appreciate feedback.

I’ve been exploring MariaDB 11.8’s new vector search capabilities for building AI-driven applications, particularly with local LLMs for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) of fully private data that never leaves the computer. I’m curious about how others in the community are leveraging these features in their projects.

I’m especially interested in using it with local LLMs (like Llama or Mistral) to keep data on-premise and avoid cloud-based API costs or security concerns.

Does anyone have experiences to share, in particular what LLMs are you using when generating embeddings to store in MariaDB?
