Wie kam ich zu LINUX!

Das letzte Windoof das ich verwenden habe war das 7er.
Eines Tages musste ich einer Firma ein PDF mit Daten senden.
Also sendete ich eine Mail, die ein PDF angehängt hatte.
Ich wartete einen Monat und bekam keine Antwort.
Als ich mich dann telefonisch meldete und nachfragte, ob die Daten passen, die ich versendet haben, war die Antwort der Firma wir Öffnen keine Mails die einen Anhang haben.
Als ich fragte, warum sie das machen, kam die Antwort wir verwenden Windows und es könnte ja sein, dass im PDF Schadsoftware vorhanden ist.

DAS war dann der Punkt wo ich zu mir sagte die verwenden ein Betriebssystem das so
„sicher“ ist das sie sich nicht mal ein PDF öffnen wollen.

DAS KANN NICHT SEIN und so suchte ich dann eine alternative und das war dann LINUX.

Ich fing dann aber mit einem Raspberry Pi 2 an und kam dann so in das Rabbit Hole hinein wo ich bis heute drinnen gemütlich verweile.

Wie seit ihr zu #Linux gekommen?

I'm looking for resources, experiences, conversations, books and papers on revenue models for open source software, as I'm releasing a product that needs to be under GPLv3.

I'm specifically looking into monthly and annual donations and "sponsor a feature" sort of deals on top of service contracts.

There's already interest, so it's more about defining the methods rather than this being possible or not.

Hi,

das nächste Update steht kurz vor der Veröffentlichung.

Auf technischer Seite wurden die Downloads verbessert. Sowohl Dateien, die einen "ref-Header" brauchen, als auch Blob-Dateien können nun endlich gedownloaded werden.

Ansonsten wurde bei diesem Release besonders an der Benutzeroberfläche gearbeitet. Ein stimmiges Farbschema und vereinfachte Dialoge sorgen für mehr Anwendungsspaß. Wer schon einmal Bildschirmfotos sehen will, kann hier schauen:

https://codeberg.org/Gaukler_Faun/FOSS_Browser/src/branch/master/SCREENSHOTS.md

Ich teste noch ein bisschen und muss mir noch einen Titel für das Update überlegen, dann lass ich es auch die Welt los.😉

Schönen Abend noch!

Excited to launch a new project today that I'm calling selfh.st/companions, a curated list of companion applications for self-hosted software:

The linked post explains the rationale for adding apps to this list, which is a bit smaller than selfh.st/apps.

As usual, feel free to send me a DM or reach out via the site's contact address if you'd like to discuss the project or any of the software listed.
