Prolly not exactly what you're looking for but an option nonetheless: make jam. The sugar helps preserve, plus put it in jars and put the jar in the fridge, lasts a long time

I'm not going to argue that xmpp shouldn't be the defacto Foss social/chat network based on merit, it definitely has merit. But in reality, it had its shot and it did not take off. Now, in 2023, Matrix is our best shot at an open, Foss, decentralized chat protocol taking off.

Any arguments that xmpp evangelists will try to come back at this statement with do not matter. I'm sorry, it is just a fact, the clock isn't turning back. Matrix may not be perfect for everybody, but it's pretty damn great, and it has the momentum right now. Let's please not screw this up with the typical fragmentation the open source community regularly has.

Sometimes I love it sometimes I hate it. Sometimes I hate it at first then grow to love it. Radiohead is a great example of change that I love. First album was mediocre rock, second was much better rock, third was one of the best albums of all time layered... space rock? Then the biggest shift of all to Kid A. Over and over again.

David Bowie is another example of successfully changing sound over and over.

Beastie Boys went from a hardcore band to hip hop.

I know there are examples of bands where I didn't like the change but I guess I remember the ones I like more. Weezer and Smashing Pumpkins are two bands that got worse over time, although they didn't change their sound up quite as much as the above mentioned.

Used infinity for reddit for years. Tried all the Lemmy apps and liked many of them, but this immediately felt like home again. Thanks for all of the work

Found this recently and loving it. Only issue I have is it loads every episode of a podcast when you click on the podcast, so if you have a pod with 1000 episodes, you're gonna be waiting a few seconds when you click on it. Makes it feel sluggish.

Antenna pod and other apps load the pod instantly with a handful of episodes and then load more if you scroll. That makes way more sense.

Pronounced it as a soft g in my head the first time I read it, and years later the creator said it was meant to be a soft g, so I feel validated.

When you create an image format, name it whatever you want and if it's any good and I use it, I'll call it what you want

Gentoo is fantastic for me on my home desktop. I love the rolling release nature and customization opportunities. Portage is so powerful.

For all of my work computers I use either ubuntu or kubuntu with sway. I love gentoo but with work devices I don't have time to tinker. There are also many programs I need for work that offer .deb installs that aren't in gentoo repos nor overlays.

For servers I love Debian.

It'd be great if this was easily installable outside of gnome. I'd love an easy way to do this on sway or hyprland. Unless there already is a way?

I cycle between 4 pairs of shoes in summer, two pairs of boots in winter, and one pair of all year shoes. I have had them all for over ten years. Tips:

  1. Buy Goodyear welted shoes
  2. Use shoe trees
  3. Don't wear the same pair two days in a row

I also prefer to buy shoes made in UK, Italy, or US but that is just preference for perceived quality and definitely higher paid workers than most countries that mass produce shoes.

If you want a specific recommendation go with Allen Edmond Strandmoks. That's my all year pair. Great shoes.

When deciding between the two I went with Netbird as it is fully self hostable and entirely opensourcen. Also, kernel wireguard support. There were a couple of bugs with some updates but I spoke with the devs over Matrix and got them all resolved. Works fantastic!

Ha I was just listening to the Linux Unplugged podcast and the guy was just complaining about this same thing

There is an android app. I haven't needed to use it yet though, mobile isn't my particular use case for this. But it should work fine.
