What's new in #confy today:
- nice button in headbar to update main menu list or event cached data
- nice overlay toaster to show notifications
- main menu data is updated automatically at start if older than one day
- event cache is updated automatically at open (if network is available).
- event data is downloaded asynchronously. This leave the UI responsive while downloading.
- talk detail page show "conflicting" starred talks
- Remind upcoming starred events with a system notification
What's wrong in #confy today:
- flatpak doesn't work anymore (see #1. I think it's related to sandbox permissions, but I can't understand how fix it. So, flatpak building in builds.sr.ht is disabled.
- The "+" button ("Add event from URL") is just a placeholder. More work must be done to support it correctly
- apart from event data, other downloads are still sync and block the ui
- I still have issues with Leaflet and folding.... I'm missing something here...
please, send help...
What's missing, in "likely it will land" order:
- Download all data asynchronously.
- An app menu is needed, with things like "options" and "back to event list" ...
- An options window, with things like "update event cache every" and "clear all cached data"
- The "Map" page is still a placeholder
- Support for FOSDEM's room status API
Thib reshared this.

GREAT NEWS!
#pleroma #pixelfed #peertube #writefreely and .... more?The Debian social team aims to run a few services under the debian.social domain. Our goal is to create a safe space for Debian contributors (whether their project members or not) to share what they're doing in the project and to showcase their work, collaborate with others and share knowledge. Just like planet Debian, it's completely fine for these platforms to have a personal touch, however, our goal is not to create any kind of social network per sé.
#WIP #confy #flatpak built on sourcehut build service, with a nice artifact. :)
builds.sr.ht/~fabrixxm/job/165…
still a test. Next step, trigger build of master branch when pushed.
The #Debian project joins the fediverse by running a #Pleroma, #pixelfed, #Peertube and #WriteFreely instance 🎉

#InCoWriMo wrapup...
#InCoWriMo has finished, time for a bit of wrapup.
On feb 20th I had written 21 letters, which a) was my bare minimum objective b) meant that I was perfectly on time. Then SnowCamp happened, and it was great, but it also meant I just stopped writing (aaahhh, too many things to dooooooo. ugh, post-conference blues).
Yesterday at the last possible minute I finished one letter and a handful of postcards, so I'm at 25; I still have two letters I really want to write anyway, and then I don't know if I want to look for two other things to write, even if I'm late, or just be happy with 27.
I've also started three correspondences that will hopefully continue beyond February (yay!).
And now, back to the regular avatar…
We had a very nice experience (keeping the video stream at minimum), and friends abroad were able to join us!
I only missed the pizza together 😄

But Jami was very unreliable for me
yes. also for me.
I was told Jitsi was bought by a company and other messengers should be preferred.
Never heard of.
Anyway, Jitsi Meet it's fully opensource and self-hostable. Don't see any problem..
Found:
jitsi.org/news/we-have-a-new-h…
8×8 announced it has acquired the Jitsi team and our technology from Atlassian
"from Atlassian" looks like an improvement, to me.
Again, all the source code is available :)
RT @WikimediaItalia@twitter.com#Videoconferenze in #SoftwareLibero: ILS mette disposizione di tutti jitsi.linux.it/?lang=it , che si aggiunge a framatalk.org/ e altri.
Wikimedia Italia usa Jitsi per riunioni interne, lezioni a distanza e piccoli seminari, sempre con grande soddisfazione di tutti.

They simply declared what they wanted to happen, entering into a negotiation with the borrow checker, and then revised their design until both parties were left satisfied.
I hear tech folks saying that RSS is dead, and people on social media saying that blogs are dead.The problem with this is twofold:
- RSS is doing just fine, and not even remotely dead
- Blogs are doing just fine, and are not even remotely dead, either
There's this strange sort of defeatism around. "Well, we lost, so what can you do". Um, not undermine things that still work and are actively being used? Support them as well?
Someone is trying to build a #language learning app like #duolingo, but it's free software. Maybe you want to help out?: github.com/kantord/LibreLingo librelingo.app/ #librelingo
Y'all, imma issue a challenge:Before buying a thing on Amazon, take just two minutes to see if it's available elsewhere online.
There's very often another seller that is price competitive, and free shipping is super common these days.
If you still wanna buy from Bezos I'm not gonna stop you, but it's worth at least checking for alternatives. Divesting yourself can be easier than you might think.
It's #InCoWriMo!
First letter delivered, and I may have changed my avatar a bit for the season :)
(and doing this feels wrong, as if I was sharing publicly a symmetric encryption key…)
Benno Ricesystemd is, to put it mildly, controversial. As a FreeBSD developer I decided I wanted to know why.
I delved into the history of bootstrap systems, and even the history of UNIX and other contemporary operating systems, to try and work out why something like systemd was seem as necessary, if not desirable. I also tried to work out why so many people found it so upsetting, annoying, or otherwise rage-inducing.
Join me on a journey through the bootstrap process, the history of init, the reasons why change can be scary, and the discovery of a part of your OS you may not even know existed.
