Another gem for the Raspberry Pi SBC computers

This is a seven port USB port

In case you have not done so yet, you should play around with Open Camera and advanced Open Source camera program which will unlock features of your camera hardware you didn't know existed.

I've tested the program on all of my current androids

Thanks to the SBC distro I've been brought back the the light & powefull LXQt DE. It's a breeze and a whif of elegance in blistering speed to work on the Raspberry Pi5.
I will install LXQt on my X86 system also so that machine can Fly like an Eagle

Thank you for the excellent work programmers!

@LXQt

It turns out that thonny is alreay on my SBC 128GB microSD card, where I installed the distro with recommended programs

Orienting myself in the IDE of mu (for python)

Initially it looks strange; no normal menu for help/about

It must be geared towards UI novices?

With firefox running using 4 open tabs, Debian ARM uses just 2.08GB (1GB=1024MB) of RAM. It looks like I should just browse in ARM linux on the SBC

The stick is divided in two partitions; rootfs and bootfs for the Debian Pi OS.

I shall boot it now

I have something else to be thankful for today. At this moment in time I am busy restoring functionality on systems so that I will be able to resume important remote tasks, which shall enable me to restore the level that I am used to, when it comes down to actual value of goods

This work is highly specialized and needs a set of computing systems, communication systems which use GSM messaging systems and other means of signalling, in order to properly Act, monitor react and deploy the remote systems, of which a set of those are managed deployed monitored and configured through Proxmox.

@gyptazy has made incredibly wonderful contributions to the community of Open Source and I'm specifically highlighting his work in for example the great Proxmox load balancer.

Through the Work Of Him and other hundreds to thousands nameless Open Source coders, programmers en hackers am I able to do this work.

I am fortunate enough to have virtually met him here on the FediVerse through a beautiful forward that @stefano has made, who also makes great contributions in Open Source

Without the work of these incredible people none of this would have been possible. I would be sitting watching this beautiful scenery that I would have made myself with props

There would not be any Open Source Operating Systems, plural, driving the displays.

Being Grateful is important. Giving Thanks sends a beautifully Modulated Pulse of Energy, through the Universe to everyone.

I am thankful to you all

Just in case you have not heard of it yet Open Camera is a very powerful camera control program

I stumbled upon this interesting article regarding freeBSD installer

Google has done it again

The interface that we've gotten used to The illogical UI of Google photos, is now mangled beyond recognition Beyond Logic and broken in such a way that I will have to use offline editors on Computing Systems, while I look for Open Source editors on my Androids.

If there are people who know of good editors graphic editors on Androids please enlighten me so that my search time can be shortened

It now takes literally 16 to 24 steps to do certain actions that normally took just two to four steps. It is quite clear that Google uses enshittification on all their services

Thanks to whomever designed fuser(1M) in SVR3! The way stdout and stderr are split is exemplary and makes using it in scripts very easy. POSIX kept that design and both the GNU and BSD versions still behave the same way.

Hey! I just wanted to share this very simple script I coded yesterday. It's called 'dream' and it's a very rudimentary "diary entry" creator.

The idea is that you can keep a diary (or diary-like thing) just by using your filesystem as your database and files named with the corresponding date. These files are Markdown files and you can set a custom top-level header (or "title") via the script's command line interface... or just use the date as a default in-file title as well.

dream does *NOT* manage files in any way... that's what the filesystem is for. This is just a quick way to get an entry and a set of files stored by date.

#Poll: Curious about people's attitudes towards shell scripting.

Two part question:

1. Are you a DEVeloper (or working in a development-heavy role), OTHER-IT worker (such as a sysadmin, architect, anything in a non-development-heavy role), or NON-IT (accountant, doctor, whatever)
2. Do you HATE shell scripting, are you INDIFferent towards (or ignorant of) shell scripting, or do you LOVE it?

Please help me spread the link to #swad

I really need some users by now, for those two reasons:

* I'm at a point where I fully covered my own needs (the reasons I started coding this), and getting some users is the only way to learn about what other people might need
* The complexity "exploded" after supporting so many OS-specific APIs (like #kqueue, #epoll, #eventfd, #signalfd, #timerfd, #eventports) and several #lockfree implementations based on #atomics while still providing fallbacks for everything that *should* work on any #POSIX systems ... I'm definitely unable at this point to think of every possible edge case and test it. If there are #bugs left (which is somewhat likely), I really need people reporting these to me

Thanks!

Today: Correcting StackOverflow posts that claim #macOS cannot use multiple editing commands within the sed `{ }` grouping command. While indeed

```
sed -e '/meow/ { s/foo/bar; s/baz/bang/; }
```

isn't allowed in macOS (which is totally fine by #POSIX 2001 btw), the following does work:

```
sed -e '/meow/ { s/foo/bar
s/baz/bang/
}
```

As specified by POSIX 2001. POSIX 2008 specifies delimiting with `;` though.

Just released: #swad 0.12

swad is the "Simple Web Authentication Daemon". It basically offers adding form + #cookie #authentication to your reverse proxy (designed for and tested with #nginx "auth_request"). I created it mainly to defend against #malicious_bots, so among other credential checker modules for "real" logins, it offers a proof-of-work mechanism for guest logins doing the same #crypto #challenge known from #Anubis.

swad is written in pure #C with minimal dependencies (#zlib, #OpenSSL or compatible, and optionally #PAM), and designed to work on any #POSIX system. It compiles to a small binary (200 - 300 kiB depending on compiler and target platform).

This release brings (among a few bugfixes) improvements to make swad fit for "heavy load" scenarios: There's a new option to balance the load across multiple service worker threads, so all cores can be fully utilized if necessary, and it now keeps lots of transient objects in pools for reuse, which helps to avoid memory fragmentation and ultimately results in lower overall memory consumption.
