It's not streets that smell, it's the cars. And you're right - nobody enjoys having a walk near a street with heavy car traffic. That's why in Europe a lot of streets in the city centers are designed in a way to discourage driving, providing ring roads and public transport options instead.

No need to guess: https://liberapay.com/Liberapay/income/ . Most money goes to the creator of Liberapay, and I would not be surprised if it would mainly cover the costs of running the service.

It's usually done by publishing IRC logs on a webpage.

Examples: - https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/latest/%23ubuntu.html - http://irc.yoctoproject.org/irc/%23yocto.2024-01-05.log.html

How discoverable it is on Google depends only on Google and on how those logs are stored.

I'm pretty sure that this (and a little bit more) is already present in KDE and it's called Activities. It's not very popular, possibly because it's not "marketed" enough IMO.

> OS: Android 9.0

That's a 4 year old Android version. This should not be acceptable.

I like the form factor though.

YunoHost is another solution to that. I've been using it for over a year now and it's really nice

FWIW, SourceHut offers Mercurial hosting.

I think yes, but if you really want, then you can migrate your toots by exporting them from the old instance and importing on the new one: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/06/how-to-migrate-from-on...

Moving to another instance is pretty easy: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/#migration

It doesn't move your toots, but followers don't have to do anything to still follow you on your new account.

For what it's worth, Ripcord[1] can do that (okay, it can open channels in separate tabs that can be moved to separate windows). And it is a native (Qt) application.

The only problem is that it's not free (with unlimited trial, though) and the development seems to have stopped. Still works okay for text chat, though.

Hard to say if it'll be as smooth as iPhone, but my experience with PinePhone shows that Qt-based environments (Ubuntu Touch, SailfishOS, even KDE) are way smoother than Phosh, which is based on Gtk. PinePhone isn't the most powerful phone out there, but I'd risk saying that SailfishOS is pretty smooth on it.

Check out Multi-Account Containers if you're using Firefox. They solve this exact problem.

I disagree. SailfishOS is really smooth there, what proves that it is doable. Ubuntu Touch isn't half bad either.

Is Mikrotik Router Monitoring System an actual MikroTik software, or is third party open source project? Doesn't seem to be provided by MikroTik: https://github.com/adeoluwa-adebiyi/Mikrotik-Router-Monitori...

Doesn't matter. The whole point of Delta Chat is that the other parties in the chat don't have to use it or even know about its existence. You lose encryption, but at least you can message those people. It looks just like any other email message.

XMPP is still alive and kicking. There are multiple server implementations, and multiple clients. Many of the clients support e2e as well (OMEMO).

A lot of them are available as Flatpaks, too. Planner is available there as well: https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.alainm23.pla...

With Flatpak you can have your own repositories. Therefore packages can be released as soon as developer wants, without depending on someone else deciding whether to allow for that or not.

It's open source, I guess you can compile it yourself: https://github.com/agrinman/tunnelto

Quassel works like that - you've got a core, and few clients - the default, Qt-based one, Android one, web-based one, even an Irssi plugin to connect to it.

There's also The Lounge, which looks pretty nice, but I haven't tried: https://thelounge.chat/

> In addition, foreign adversaries also hide messages in seemingly random but innocuous comments on forums and blogs made to look like real user communication but makes no sense to anyone but their intended target.

Sounds like the digital version of Number Stations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbers_station

I've been using vimwiki for a few years now, and I'm very satisfied.

Contactless payments don't need PIN (up to some small but comfortable amount) and go through almost instantly.

I've used gqrx for some simple stuff and liked it: http://gqrx.dk/

> flatpak focuses on GNOME

It is developed by people involved in Gnome, but it's desktop-independent. http://flatpak.org/faq.html#Is_Flatpak_tied_to_GNOME_

I think this is what Flatpak is trying to solve - each application is run in its own sandbox and requests its own priviledges in a manifest file.

It is currently in a pretty early stage of development, but it's usable and looks pretty great. Maybe this time creating a new package manager will make the package manager wars on Linux quieter :)

> Fedora doesn't provide FFmpeg or an up-to-date version of a package you need? No problem, just get it from Nix!

Will it add the packages installed this way to rpmdb?

It's more common than you think, I really didn't expect it to happen that often until I've started interviewing people.

Of course it's a minority, but a simple test like a fizzbuzz that we can be done with in a matter of minutes can save a lot of time to both parties.
