Can we protect privacy and the planet at the same time?🤔

We put it to the test using:
1. @olimex's power-efficient LIME2
2. The lightweight #FreedomBox server software
3. A solar panel

We shared our results at FOSSCON last week. Read about it here: https://www.freedomboxfoundation.org/news/fosscon_2019/

#Nim is a joy to use! I started dabbling with it about a year or two back, and I have been able to introduce it in my real work too. It has strong C/C++ interop ability, and I have been using it to pair with #SystemVerilog and #Matlab too. It has replaced #bash and #python for me too.

26 years strong! Happy Anniversary! Happy #DebianDay!
Debian celebrates 26 years! https://bits.debian.org/2019/08/debian-turns-26.html

I'm shutting down my #NextCloud sever. Going to use #DecSync and #SyncThing as my default. No server needed. Now that I'm dropping my home internet for mobile only, its hard to justify.

So far my contacts and calendar are effortlessly synced.

ICYMI: In July, the FreedomBox Foundation sent its Vice President, Danny Haidar, to Debian's annual conference, #DebConf.

Though we met many new faces, attending DebConf felt like more of a reunion than an introduction. And we have A LOT of news to share!

Read the highlights here:

Did you know that "git checkout -" works much like "cd -" and switches back and forth between two branches?

You're welcome.

'I’ve met a bunch of hardware engineers and I’ve made a point about asking each of them how they feel about using a single chip for multiple users. This is, of course, the use case of the cloud. All of the hardware engineers either laugh or are horrified and the resounding reaction is “you’d be crazy to think hardware was ever intended to be used for isolating multiple users safely.”'

There are at least 91 different Debian derivatives known and active to the derivatives census. https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census #ReleasingDebianBuster

Today I learned: #nim has had since version 0.15 a multisync macro/pragma which allows you to define a function that works as both sync and async. Obvious yet magical!

♲ @switchingsocial@mastodon.at:
If you want to use the Fediverse through a Facebook-style interface, you may want to try Friendica.
Some good instances to sign up at:
social.isurf.ca/
nerdica.net/
libranet.de/
You can use Friendica through the @fedilab app.
It federates through ActivityPub with Mastodon etc and it also lets you follow RSS feeds as if they were users.
The developers are very active with regular new releases.
