Inspired by this Mastodon account, I programmed an ESP8266 microcontroller to act as a traffic light, indicating the current electricity mix. Check it out on Codeberg! It uses an API from the Fraunhofer Institute and the parts cost around 5€. In my shared flat we use it as an indicator on when to run demanding devices, like...
Just found out about this, seems to recognize my obscure music, at least so far…
Hi all :)...
Today somebody in a group I’m in which has some accessibility issues was yet again complaining that their Dragon Speaking software was not playing nice with Firefox, which led me to see if there was an alternative, and surprisingly i found none workable at the plain user level beyond Dragon, and upgrading for that person might...
Was curious if there were FOSS solutions since I really would like to avoid using anything Google related
I’m planning a workshop in a few days, I had the idea to put a Kiosk powered by a Raspberry Pi and a regular PC monitor, put it at the entrance, and let people register themselves before entering. Then the assistants could be registered in something that later would allow me to export into a csv....
I see several that can push notifications from self hosted services like Gotify, Pushbit, Uptime Kuma, etc. But is there anything that can handle SMS portion that PB does so dang well? I tried KDE Connect and it was not a great experience. But I’ll give it another try once my new PC is built, but between my Macbook and my...
I only saw the app once while scrolling around on f-droid; tried it but it seemed too empty to be useful. The only place I’ve since seen it even being mentioned is this post, but that’s also not specifically about the app. I’m genuinely curious about what exactly the point is of GNU/Jami. Is it just a p2p version of...
I currently use fruux (which is proprietary) to synchronise my to-do lists and calendars. However, I was wondering if there was a FOSS CalDAV service which I could use for free....
Hey Beehaw, I wanted to check if anyone knew of any good Foss alternatives to slack?...
What browser extensions do you use that you'd recommend to others?...
There’s a cool little app that goes through your locally hosted music, grabs the artists and then watches MusicBrainz for releases for them artists. Upon seeing a new release, it will send a notification announcing it....
Hey there, I’m looking at producing my first documentary and one of the tools people use for that is called Studio Binder. It’s an all-in-one for making your scripts, shotlists, moodboards, location scouting, storyboards, production planning, collaborators management etc etc....

I am trying to build a small website. I don’t know how to write HTML or JavaScript or CSS. I always hear sponsorships about SquareSpace from content creators such as TheLinuxExperiment. I understand that a website is public information but I want a builder that does not come with any unnecessary trackers, I.E. a noninvasive...
I'd much rather see sites like Lemmy, PeerTube, and Mastodon see widespread adoption then the dystopian cyberpunk fever dream in the head of Zuckerburg. Did you not read the novel dude? It's a freaking warning! That's like Jeff Bezos reading Fahrenheit 451 and going "holy crap dude, gotta make that a reality like, yesterday!" I...
The official one is always down and is inaccessible on the web.
Hi all,...
I’ve been using HabitNow since February and it’s a nice app. But I’d much prefer a FOSS alternative. The problem is that I’d like to keep my streak from HabitNow and apps either don’t let you mark in the past or they require multiple clicks....
I’ve collected quite a number of STL files for 3D printing, and realized I need some better way to catalogue them, because the default Windows explorer is starting to become burdensome. I’m looking for something that:...
