opensource

Is it just me or is passing off things that aren’t FOSS as FOSS a much bigger thing lately than it was previously....

Hey, I’ve been using collabora to edit/open some spreadsheets on android but it’s honestly becoming a bit of a pain for me, freezing and blanking some cells being the big ones, and so I’m looking for an alternative. I tried excel without network access and it works but I do have to clear storage everytime to bypass the...

I need to transport multiple very large files over an unstable and untrusted network, and the file contents are outputted as a data stream. I wanted to use OpenSSL for streaming authenticated encryption, but they purposefully don’t support that and are preachy about it....

Hi, there is a project called SongRec which is a Shazam client for Linux, but is there an open source Shazam client app for Android?...

The BOINC Census is back for another year! 🎉 If you use BOINC (!boinc), we want to hear your thoughts!...

Do you know if there is any open hardware alternative for products like Roku, Chromecast, Apple TV etc. ?

Hi, is there and good FOSS for tracking my expeses and planning Budgets etc. for android? I tried money wallet for 2 weeks now but it feels pretty basic in terms of overview and statistics so it is a help but just a little

it would be good to know if they use it, I know it doesn’t indicate they are open source (which, most online stores aren’t), but if they use any open source library, or api, etc, do they credit them correctly? (for example using software licensed under BSD, etc). That can be a way of knowing if they are stealing other...

Hey Folks, I’ve made a couple kiosks in the past around the house, but I’m hoping there’s an easier solution out there. Previously I’d install raspbian or something on to a pi and then remote into a full-screened chromium to set it up....

As per the title. I can’t find anything on fdroid. I was surprised, so checking in here. Thank you

I run into a need for this type of software frequently but I don’t know what it’s called or if it exists. I am very adept at Google Sheets and it works great for pulling in data from other places, creating custom little dashboards and forms, etc but where it’s not particularly good is storing relational data for example...

I’ve gotten pretty far using FOSS tools when it comes to making games, but I would like something like Substance Painter so I can fully dabble into 3D....

Here’s a tough one for you:...

Most of the problems in the current internet landscape is caused by the cost of centralized servers. What problems are stopping us from running the fediverse on a peer to peer torrent based network? I would assume latency, but couldn’t that be solved by larger pre caching in clients? Of course interaction and authentication...

I found out “OBS Plugin: Portrait Background Removal / Virtual Green-screen and Low-Light Enhancement” exists precompiled on flattpak. I tried to find a list of other obs plugins available precompiled on flatpak, but cannot find it. Does anyone know if there’s such a list?

The Molly fork of Signal now has a variant that supports UnifiedPush, but it requires a helper called Mollysocket to be installed on a server somewhere. I can’t get my head around the (we’ll call them ‘lean’) docs, and I’ve never encountered such a helper for other UP apps. They just ask what to attach to, and they...

My question in FOSS is whether, or how the license applies, if anyone can clarify it for me. I’m not going into a legal battle, I just am having issues rectifying the licensing with my expectations....

I’m not sure where to ask this so I started here: here: Is there a Lemmy client that has a filter. I want to hide posts from particular accounts. Like anyone for hexbear, for example. I know I can set up my own instance, but that’s more work than I want right now. I was hoping someone knew a client that could do this.

Windows Live Gallery had a great Photo Fuse feature that allowed you to select multiple similar photos and be able to select which faces from each photo would be used in the final composite image. This was great for group photos where in every photo someone isn’t looking at the camera or blinking etc, as you can combine them...

Are there any ways to contribute to FOSS developers other than paying? I would really like to help/contribute but unfortunately have no regular income so no way to do so monetarily.

I just came across a very useful tip for those of you who are looking to migrate your VSCode extensions to VSCodium. Instead of removing VSCode altogether, you can simply link the folders and keep both editors installed on your system....

After using Nextcloud for a year and having a wonderful experience I’m not quite convinced, and it’s not Nextcloud’s fault, it’s because I feel like I’m putting all the eggs in one basket (my notes, my ToDos, my calendars, my contacts, etc)....
