A good site that helps me find great alternatives to non-oss that I have grown accustomed to.

I don't get why big companys are afraid of open source software....

Wanted to wish everyone a happy Software Freedom Day. Hope you’ll check out the list of online SFD events and recordings from some of the events.

I’m looking for software I can run on a server that could scan a target file system and make a windirstat-esque output available at an http address....

Hello, i have many folders with pictures and some of them are duplicates, is there an app that can detect that?

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....

One reason for browsers getting sluggish is having too many extensions open, which just consumes extra RAM. Sometimes, too, they can interfere with each other. Even though my computer has 32GB of RAM, using a lot more than is needed, certainly increases the browser start up time a lot....

Chris did a nice breakdown of how this can work in conjunction with a self-hosted Fresh RSS reader (same as I’m using). It solves that issue with some RSS feeds only showing a short snippet of the content....

The official one is always down and is inaccessible on the web.

Today FUTO released an application called Grayjay for Android-based mobile phones. Louis Rossmann introduced the application in a video (YouTube link). Grayjay as an application is very promising, but there is one point I take issue with: Grayjay is not an Open Source application. In the video Louis explains his reason behind...

My small, non-profit team produces a lot of content in the form of blogs, presentations, graphics, mp3 and mp4 files. We are looking for a tool that can classify the content and allow us to search on it to find relevant information on topics. The goal is to maximize existing IP we’ve developed. Are any of you using any #foss...

EDIT: I’m using Linux.

I’ve been a long time Android user and have been flashing custom roms on older phones when they end of life from their manufacturer to keep them up to date....

Considering the potential of the fediverse, is there any version of that for search engines? Something to break up a major point of internet centralization, fragility, and inertia to change (eg Google will never, ever, offer IPFS searches). Not only would decentralization be inherently beneficial, it would mean we're no longer...

I’m curious if there is a Comic/Image organizer that can help change titles to a huge selection of comics and manga that are all over the place with titles? Also setup a folder system on my hdd.

Just like passports for real life identities, Keyoxide can be used to verify the online identity of people to make sure one is interacting with whom they are supposed to be and not imposters. Unlike real life passports, Keyoxide works with online identities or “personas”, meaning these identities can be anonymous and one can...

Trying to setup obtainium and I’m forgetting just where I got some of my apps from. Does anyone know if I can get a list of all the apps that I’ve installed by repo? This could be just a way to achieve this or an app itself - not too fussed, but I feel updating my foss apps is getting on top of me. Thanks.

I am currently using Hugo as a static site generator for my blog. It’s not bad but rather limited. Does anybody know about something that would be equally as lightweight but offer some more flexibility. I just don’t know what is out there so anything you guys could come up with would be appreciated.

Is there a platform where regular people can suggest FOSS ideas to developers? I have a great idea and want to contribute to the community. Any recommendations?

flatjak is a little bash script that installs Flatpak with necessary software center and desktop integrations & enables the all important Flathub repository in Ubuntu & its derivatives. flatjak should work fine on Debian and other Debian based distributions too.
