Are you an #XMPP operator? Or are you interested in running your own #XMPP server, but have questions and concerns? There will be a full day XMPP OpMeet online meeting in autumn, where you are free to stay the whole day or jump in and out just for the sessions you are interested in. Vote on which dates would work for you (vote open until 2026-06-20): https://nuudel.digitalcourage.de/1IMTCkRid7Vgbmut More info (heavily WIP): https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/OpMeet/2026.10 #selfhosting #selfhost #homelab

I see #Movim decided to target itself as a (distributed) #Discord-killer.

And looking at the latest update, I’m cautiously optimistic. They worked on accessibility, hats (i.e. roles), spaces, better audio/video chat and game streaming …

The #ECB is holding a public survey to decide which design should be on the future #Euro banknotes. https://www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/banknotes/future_banknotes/html/index.en.html Tip: check the “design proposals” link before diving into the survey, so you get a better overview of the ten designs in question. (Personally, I’m in favour of the bird designs – seems much more inclusive.) #EU #europe #banknotes

European Central Bank

Future banknotes

The European Central Bank (ECB) is the central bank of the European Union countries which have adopted the euro. Our main task is to maintain price stability in the euro area and so preserve the purchasing power of the single currency.

I am a long-term #KDEPIM user and recently read that due to progress in #SQLite’s performance #Akonadi is now defaulting to that DB on a fresh install.

A few days ago I took the chance and ran `akonadi-db-migrator --newengine sqlite` and it was both painless and I definitely see both lower resource consumption and the PIM suite seems much snappier too!

@MarvinFreeman@mastodon.online, I’m not the right to ask, as I use neither Vivaldi nor Ubuntu, but I would be surprised if that was indeed the issue. @movim@piaille.fr may have a better idea what’s happening.

@murena, understood and understandable. But in any case it would be (cca.) in 2028 or which year? It's hard to keep track of all EOL and their extensions for a normal user/consumer 😅 @sorenladegaard @e_mydata @gael

The annoyance at that time was that companies would either 1) actively avoid or ignore #FOSS, or 2) take it and ignore the license (i.e. piracy) So several of us were trying to convince companies to 3) engage with FOSS on FOSS' terms both license- and community-wise, contribute back and be an active part of a healthy ecosystem so everyone can strive It was about helping #FOSS, not imposing obligations. ...how and when that got misinterpreted in time, I dunno, would be curious to know.

@tob@hachyderm.io @zhuowei@notnow.dev @slothrop@chaos.social I played a few rounds of D&D, but never dived deep into it. But from what I understand “chaos” vs “lawful” according to its Wikipedia article, I’d still say MS’ position is not “lawful” in the world where SMTP, IMAP, MIME, and all the other wonderful RFCs exist :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alignment_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons)#Law_versus_chaos

The first time I heard about #FOSS and supply chain in the same sentence was when about a decade ago from Bdale Garbee (then VP of HP), who stressed that if FOSS somehow magically suddenly disappeared, the company would be in great existential danger. He therefore likened FOSS to a “critical supplier” of the company with the intention that the company should treat it (at least) as serious and as nicely as it does its critical suppliers.

@murena, thank you. This helps a lot. Again, whatever the extension would be, it is very welcome and appreciated. It is merely a question about how to plan buying new hardware vs spare parts for FP3(+). @sorenladegaard @e_mydata @gael
