Same here. I have no clue what the latest things to watch, read, or listen to are. And I don’t think I miss out on anything. I also get almost none of the references.

So we’ll see a release in November this year?

Usually you just see LibreOffice and nothing else, so it’s fine, I guess. Not a web-based editor, but usable.

Ah, I see. Not as native web application, though.

They’re using Alpine Linux, install X and Openbox and Xvnc and serve KasmVNC via Nginx and connect via KasmVNC to that X instance. LibreOffice is started in fullscreen and looks like a slightly blurry web application.

But in reality it is just a regular desktop installation with some extra things.

@fikran@lemm.ee, maybe this is a solution? I wouldn’t recommend it because it’s not really a web-based document editor.

So, LibreOffice can be used over the Internet in a web browser?

Ca. 20 years ago I worked for a company that used X forwarding for their backup management system (a Java application running on one of the servers) which somewhat worked on their wired LAN (at least most some of the time).

This was just unreliable and slow and had issues left and right.

Back than I tried this. The performance was horrible, even on a good connection. It was barely tolerable on LAN, but over the Internet … no. Just no. There were and are better solution for accessing a remote machine.

That sounds great!

Mmh, okay. Is it fully featured? If so, then this instead of PuTTY (just to reduce the amount of extra tools needed).

If you use it as Server it likely won’t have a graphics server installed, so why not simply use SSH?

A common tool for using SSH on Windows is PuTTY.

Ubuntu uses Snap as first-class method to install software. So if a piece of software is available as DEB or Snap, Ubuntu will always use Snap.

I can’t wait for Brodie to report on this!

Exactly. With directly using certbot handling all and everything fully automatically I ran my old setup with a free dyndns subdomain for quite some time without any issues.

Since Let’s encrypt nowadays is basically implemented in every reverse proxy: certificates are an absolute no-brainer.

If someone manages to buy and configure a domain to serve selfhosted content, this person will also be able to either set up certbot or use the built-in functionality of their reverse proxy.

It’s 2025. Not having “real certificates” is something admins intentionally do. Since there is Let’s Encrypt available, all other solutions for non-paid certificates are obsolete.

5 gallons is circa 19 liters. So when the liquid is water, then you don’t need to use the 100 ml container. 1 liter of water weights 1 kilogram, so put the 5 gallons bucket on a scale and pur in 19 kilograms of water.

100 ml is pretty easy to use. You can multiply it or divide it evenly without having to think at all.

Honestly? I want my terminal emulator to leave me alone as much as possible. Set font, set colors, done. Everything else should be handled by the shell and terminal applications I’m using.

Not at all, no. The US government is and always was extremely nationalistic (not nationalist, not national socialist, those are different things) and by being that, there were and are groups that do whatever they need to do to achieve their goals (i.e. “not the goals of the opposite party”). Let it be assassination, bribery, or downright capitalism.

I would actually be extremely surprised if the republicans are not somehow involved in killing a democratic president. (I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the other way round, too.)

Keep them memorized. The old tools just work, even if MICROS~1 tries to hide them and replace them with useless crap apps.

There – of course – won’t be a singular official source stating “Hey guys, we’re open core now”. You need to put this together bit-by-bit.

Here are some links for research

• Official statement on the takeover
• Gitea Enterprise/Gitea Cloud hiding features behind a cloud solution and a paywall which makes Gitea itself open-core
• Open Letter to the new Gitea owners with a summary and a reply, signed by a lot of Gitea devs and FOSS scene people.
• As @gratux@lemmy.blahaj.zone mentioned: A fork under the name Forgejo was done due to new Gitea owners did not care much about the concerns. (Started as asoft-fork but with 10.0 it became a hard fork.)
• Gitea owners made it mandaroy to remove copyright headers and set the corporation as copyright holder. Here, here, and here
