This is sooooo cool! Paint powder on a drum being thumped, and filmed using an extra extra slow motion camera.

why does googling "gtk whatever" bring up the GTK3 docs for GtkWhatever half the time! GTK4 released five years ago!!!

and the only way to tell which one it is before clicking is that one little grey digit 🙁





My cats bring me these sorts of gifts, only they are ALIVE. Fortunately, they are also unharmed except lingering problems with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I'm the one who has to re-catch these gifts and put them back outside!

When I graduated high school, my mom threw a party. We had around 100 people in the house and on the deck. Our cat, Tami, figured out that there were a lot of mouths to feed and started bringing (dead) meadow voles from the empty field across the street. Guess who got to remove them. Tami brought 47 voles that day. I seriously wondered if she didn't empty that field of voles.

No debate: Linux is the best open source project on Earth! 🔥✨

#linux

in reply to It's FOSS

I mean, that's hardly surprising. The Linux kernel is the single most important piece of software in the world right now and runs on more computers than any other piece of software.
in reply to It's FOSS

Linux was the case study that led to the term "open-source software" being coined.

What metrics are important for you when it comes to #running? #HRV, #Sleep quality, #RHR, or something else?

I tend to adjust my RPE during my running sessions based on my sleep and awake HRV. If my HRV is above or below my normal range (which is 105-110 sleep and 83-85 awake) I adjust the intensity of the workout accordingly.

What metrics do you monitor and how do you adjust your workouts according to these metrics?

in reply to Moha

HRV being unbalanced is a sign that something is off. My sleep recovery is very important. Otherwise it is all feel which is sometimes at odds with the measurements. Can I push? How do I feel post pushing is what's important to me.
in reply to Kirk

@JustBrogrammer Yes, how do you feel is the most important, regardless of the metrics.

This is my cats! They all prefer paper bags to boxes. Oh boxes are nice, but they don't make lovely crinkly sounds! Moki especially loves the big bags from the candle shop, because they have the best smells.

@Katherine Bond Apologies for stepping on your meme glory! Sometimes images have a life of their own.

No problem at all @Muse.

I’m enjoying seeing the kitty in the bag again. 😃

So let me get this straight. The current state of fediverse integration on Threads is that you can write posts that federate, people can read and reply to them, you can like their replies, but you can't reply back, repost, or even share the post from Threads. And that's how they're gonna leave it.


Noticed the festive makeover of the Nextcloud Community forum? 🎄

It might have a holiday glow-up, but our forum doesn't take breaks... 💡 If you have a Nextcloud deployment challenge you want solved before 2026, this is the best place to get answers.

Human rights are upheld by people, communities, and technologies that adapt to a changing world. Here's what that looks like for Tor as we head into the next year. blog.torproject.org/advancing-…


#FreeSoftwareAdvent day 15: Nextcloud

SyncThing is great for synchronising files, but I also have a self-hosted Nextcloud server. If I only wanted to synchronise files, I'd probably just use SyncThing, but I use Nextcloud for things like CalDav for calendars and CardDav for contacts as well as files.

More recently, I've also started using Nextcloud apps. In particular, I use News for RSS feeds, Notes for simple notes, and RePod for podcasts. The apps accessed through the Nextcloud dashboard on the web have minimal functionality, but it's enough for me. In the case of News and Notes, I also use the official Android clients, which also offer mininal functionality, but again, I don't need any more. For podcasts, I mostly listen using AntennaPod on Android, which I'll talk about tomorrow.

It's worth noting that there are companies that will host Nextcloud for you if you don't want to self-host. At least some of them have a free tier if you don't need a lot of space.

hi! Nextcloud Hub is free and open source. You can use Nextcloud Mail, Calendar and Talk (chat and meetings), together with other apps for free. But of course, Nextcloud Enterprise offering is available when you need extra confidence for a critical setup.
in reply to Nextcloud 📱☁️💻

yes enterprise I meant since where I work I tried to suggest moving away from our American software dependence. But it was shot down by IT. It would help if you list prices for all products including research and education institutes and get some subsidies from the digitalization ministry to make things cheaper for "security and software independence"

Science’s 2025 Breakthrough of the Year: The unstoppable rise of renewable energy

"In Sept, Chinese President Xi Jinping declared at the U.N. that his country will cut its carbon emissions by as much as 10% in a decade, not by using less energy, but by doubling down on wind and solar.

To many, the continued growth of renewables now seems unstoppable—a prospect that has led Science to name the renewable energy surge its 2025 Breakthrough of the Year."
