cablespaghetti.dev is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Aurora, Bazzite, and Bluefin run great on these. Thanks to @frameworkcomputer for supporting @UniversalBlue
I've been dogfooding mine for a few months, feel free to ask about it! Can't do pics since I don't have the front tiles yet so those will come later.

Can anyone out there recommend a desktop calendar widget for KDE Plasma that will allow me to view a list of monthly tasks? And preferably allow me to tick them off.
This took annoyingly long to setup and it is already past my bed-time, but here y'all are.
There was a small regression in the framebuffer, but that can be fixed pretty easily.
All the modern code was done by @riscv64. I just did the postmarketOS integration. Give 'em a follow!
(Ignore the bad camera quality. This is the best camera I have, ironically enough.)

Check out what @outreachy intern Cornelius has been working on as part of the Fedora DEI team! Lots around fostering community. These are areas that can be easily overlooked when we only think of the technical contributions to a project.
If youโre on Linux, thereโs a good chance you use GNOME: itโs the default experience across Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora Workstation, Endless OS, and more. If youโre on another desktop, you still likely use components developed by GNOME contributorsโor maybe you get apps from Flathub.
Want to become more than just a user? How aboutโฆ a friend? ๐ฅบ Become a Friend of GNOME to support GNOME, Flathub, and the work we do!
For anyone still using or considering the free #oVirt as virtualization management platform:โ ๏ธ Please don't. It is a broken nightmare on community life support.โ ๏ธ
After #RedHat has ended support for its commercial spin Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) last year the development of oVirt practically came to a halt.
There hasn't been an official stable release for over a year despite security issues, and numerous bugs. The official recommendation is to use nightly releases to get the latest fixes. Too bad you won't be able to roll back via DNF if an update fails because older nightly releases are gone from the repo.
And yes, nightly releases do break oVirt at times. The latest nightly causes updates to fail because of incomplete dependency changes.
The web interface of the official mailing list is offline most of the time, the documentation is a confusing and outdated mess.
Upgrades to newer Linux distribution releases such as RHEL 9 or even 10 based systems are extremely painful and not officially supported.
Move your VMs to #ProxmoxVE or any other actively maintained KVM based solution.
@nuintari @homeassistant Yeah, fair enough. I'm no fan either, but as long as it's optional and something I can ignore I hold my nose and look the other way. Ah, didn't realise there were changes that made running on #FreeBSD more difficult. That sucks, I'm no fan of the #Linux monoculture.

Ok #linux and #NixOS folks. I'm happy to say that #nixbook is in such a good place right now with the dedicated installer and solid base.
However, because the flatpaks have to be installed on first boot, the install process is a little lackluster.
Thinking about having a first boot splash screen, but no idea how to accomplish this.
Has anyone done something like this?
