Not going to lie, the more I learn about #elisp, the more I like #eMacs as well, which has been for a while my "almost-everything" application already ^^ - and I'm not even a #Developer / #hacker! I've just managed to write my first functions to toggle the background of the wonderful #seoul256 […]

We’re happy to see Joplin listed on European Alternatives, a project highlighting European-based alternatives to popular software and services. Many thanks to the European Alternatives team for their work promoting open and European solutions. We also encourage you to visit their website to […]

20 minutes fully body mobility #yoga in the morning might not have been the best idea to restart after like a year of not doing it, but it sure is nice to move my body again - let's see how long it takes to get my #flexibility back. #sports #MorningYoga #mobility #restart

During the #Christmas #holidays last month, I've did a kind of #digitaldetox, coupled with a #Reading #challenge: clear at least one long #book from my backlog. I thought the momentum died down after ripping through those 600 pages in 4 days, but I guess I was wrong, considering I've already […]

Although I’m not a fan of #Apple, lately I've been tempted to buy a used #m1 #macbook Air. While I’d never consider #macOS better than #Linux from an end-user perspective (and this is definitely subjective, and I grew up using linux), I'm really curious about that #ARM, weight and battery […]

My 2026 resolution is to call out #AI #slop even more aggressively. Thanks for the reminder, #microslop! #Microsoft #aislop #BigTech

With Christmas approaching, we want to express our warmest thanks to all the Joplin user and community. Whether you’ve used Joplin for personal planning, creative work, or coordinating with your team, we’re truly grateful to be part of your everyday workflow. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas! 🎄

After figuring out that it's indeed #Ubuntu's theming that breaks #WeChat on #Linux, I'm giving another chance to #Fedora. So far so good. I know, it sounds stupid to distrohop just because of one application, but it's an important one for me. And besides, this is a new chance to set #eMacs up […]

Just found out #WeChat has been available on #Linux since the end of October! Awesome news! Now, if only I could find out why some icons are missing from my install...

Got a bit too close to exhaustion with only 2 cards left in the deck, but in the end I emerged victorious. Probably my favourite map of #52realms_adventures, I really like the flood mechanic here - have yet to play the Clockmaker's Labyrinth though. And as […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

Missed the launch of #guildwars #reforged yesterday - hope the hype will go on for a few more weeks at the very least, would really enjoy to group up with players instead of mercenaries for a change~

After 3 years, I was finally allowed to start testing linux at work - and so far absolutely everything works that worked on windows. And not just works - everything (including ms products, like teams) works even better! Things are snappy, calls are clear, video is sharp, and I can natively use […]

Thunderbird Pro is getting closer to its Early Bird release! Find out what that means and what it includes in our latest update. #thunderbird #thunderbirdpro #thundermail #opensource https://blog.thunderbird.net/2025/11/thunderbird-pro-november-2025-update/

A long wait for sure, but I'm happy to announce that the 34th episode of #PepperCarrot is finally translated to #hungarian 🥳 Big thanks to @davidrevoy for creating this wonderful #webcomics , and making it truly #free and #openSource , available for everyone! […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

Awesome news for, like, the two of us who are still on #ubuntu1604 because #unity is the superior desktop environment: #canonical just announced the extension of legacy LTS support by 5 years. I wasn't looking forward to upgrade in April, but at least now I know I won't have to 🥳

Got my hands on a #rock64 by #Pine64 - it's been fun playing around with an #sbc for the first time. #armbian works great, but I can't get #FreeBSD to output anything through hdmi, even though ssh and vnc works as expected. Waiting for my uart adapter to arrive, I'll see if there is anything […]

Just learned there is an out-of-the-box #openvpn solution on #synology #nas devices. A gamechanger for streamlining my #SelfHosting stack

Rat Taxi been going on non-stop as my background music for basically any activity I usually do with background music in the past couple of days. I can't help but smile and feel so good and energized during the whole album. Oh, and you can download it for free in OGG Vorbis format as well, which […]

Using #mastodon_el already gives me the vibes I got about hackers in #snow_crash, but I recently set up #org_social, and it's a whole another level of... hacker-y vibes! Highly recommended for anyone who likes tinkering with #eMacs and/or #org_mode! #orgsocial #mastodonel #orgmode #hacker

Finally took the time to clean out my dead succulent's (don't ask how I managed to kill a succulent of all things...) pot, and replanted a small cactus in its place. Also cleaned up some other plants that had some dry leaves. Most relaxing 30 minutes I had in quite some time. Thinking about […]

After the recent news of the #redhat data breach I might just reconsider using it as my daily driver. Sure, it doesn't affect personal users in any way, but it just leaves a bad aftertaste... #CyberSecurity #data_security_breach #rhel #GitLab

Greetings Programs!! It's the first stream after the @pidgin 3.0 Exp 4 release, which means it's time to start working on @pidgin 3.0 Exp 5!! We've got some fun stuff to do tonight (I think?) So come on by!! https://twitch.tv/rw_grim Sorry no YouTube tonight, still waiting on the multi rtmp […]

Just used org-mode's built-in table editor for the first time, and wow, it's so simple yet effective! The fact that it automatically re-aligns the table everytime my cell has more content than the previous is super useful. There is so much left for me to explore in Emacs and org-mode, but every […]

It seems I don't have the wayland problems I've just seen in a video (layout switcher, drag and drop).

Cooking something... #Blog #hugo #org_mode #eMacs

Slowly (but steadily) #eMacs is becoming more and more comfortable to use (fun fact: this post was composed in #mastodon_el, which is an awesome mastodon client). I've set up #org_mode for my German lesson notes and tasks, got #wallabag also set up in emacs, and even got #auto_dark_mode to work […]

Another win! Seeing how successful my aunt's migration was to #Linux, his husband asked me if I can help install a new distro for him as well, as he is getting fed up with the constant #enof10 warning messages on his win10 computer. Unless he has something specific in mind, my choice will be […]

Recently I once again felt like kneading some dough, and made some 宽面 (wide noodles) which was turned into delicious 油泼面 (a type of oily-spicy noodles) by my girlfriend. Suffice to say, this won't be the last time of us making this dish 🤤 #Cooking #noodles #chinese #homemade

What is everyone's #FOSS #Podcast solution for cross-platform listening? I love #antennapod a lot, and used it daily, but I need a way to sync not only my subscriptions but my current listening state as well to other apps (web/desktop). For now, it seems #pocketcasts is the simplest solution […]

🇬🇧Public pressure works: Belgium, Finland & Czechia will NOT approve the #ChatControl mass surveillance law in October. But other governments whose vote is crucial are still on the fence. Urge them to protect our digital privacy and encryption now […] [Original post on digitalcourage.social]

Finally, summer officially begins! #Hungary #Balaton #lakebalaton #Summer #vacation

Went #swimming (like actual swimming in a pool, not just chilling in an aquapark) for the first time in like, what, 10 years? My experience: 1. I remembered way more than I thought I had about swimming 2. It's way more tiring than I remembered 3. It's way more fun than I remembered Seems like […]

Is there a webapp for #Lemmy that fully works without #JavaScript enabled? Something like #brutaldon for mastodon? #Fediverse #FOSS #gnu_icecat

Game Publishers keep dropping support for games they have sold to consumers, leaving the games unplayable. The "Stop Killing Games" European Citizens Initiative demands the EU propose a law to force developers to leave games in a playable state! It has reached 500k of the 1m needed signatures […]

Disappointed to learn that Denmark is staying with #Windows. Sure, at least they will start using #LibreOffice , but I don't see the point of using windows then. The only reason I can think of to use windows is a need for Microsoft office, and it's clearly not the case here #Linux #denmark […]

Lately, I've been trying to get back into German - while I have studied it for a long time, I never managed to get it to the same level as my English. Currently reading my first ever actual German book (not comics, not a graded reader), and - to my surprise - it's nowhere near as difficult as I […]

Finally managed to set up my productivity workflow - consisting almost only of FOSS apps/services! 🐧 It's insane how great GNU/linux apps and services are both for the actual work, and to sync between devices. Might write up a blog post about my setup and workflow in the future~ #joplin […]
