Look! A #LibreOffice feature you may not know about 😉 When exporting a #PDF the "Hybrid PDF" option embeds the original file. Then anyone with a PDF reader can view the file – and LibreOffice users can edit it too: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Writer/PDF_Hybrid#What_is_a_hybrid_PDF_file? #foss #OpenSource


ALL CLEAR for Fedora Rawhide and Fedora 40 Beta builds regarding the xz exploit. 👍

Things had stabilized soon after the initial security advisory, but we're now confirming that you can use Rawhide and Fedora 40 Beta safely as long as you have the latest updates or reinstall (which is not a bad idea to be safe).

Fedora 38 and 39 were never affected.

When it comes to saving money, the first thing that is always cut is support for open source and community projects. Then you wonder why free software projects are maintained by a few frustrated developers who are on the verge of burnout. This affects companies, public institutions and even you as a private individual. Don't forget to support us as free software developers. You can do this for my project at https://spacefun.ch

I have released SendMIDI v1.3.0 and ReceiveMIDI v1.4.0 with support for the new MPE Profile.

The intent of these versions of my tools is that people can focus on either the initiator or responder role for their product and leave the other part of the negotiation up to either SendMIDI or ReceiveMIDI. This should make it easier to bootstrap adding MPE Profile support.

Zulip is absolutely underrated as a chat platform for teams. Its automatic threading makes it so much easier to catch up on previous conversations than with Slack, Teams or Discord. In my opinion, Zulip is ideal for distributed teams who prefer to work and communicate asynchronously -- like my team, for example.

And it's 100% #OpenSource!

Minetest Mod Review: Legboat


This mod adds a boat for the land. The four dynamic legs let you cover a wide range of terrain with great ease, be careful though as the legboat is too heavy to float and will travel on the ground underwater.
