jrollans.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.

First, accept that no matter what phrase you use — atomic vs. immutable — someone will claim you’re using the wrong term. There’s still disagreement in the tech community about the correct terminology for this type of Linux distro.
That said, for the average consumer (home users — most of you reading this), these types of distros are still “new.” By new, I mean they are still establishing themselves. Having said that, if your overall goal is to have a Linux distro that is rock-solid, automatically updates itself, can automatically recover itself, and you mostly just want a basic system — meaning you primarily plan to browse the web, work with documents, stream movies and music, and print or scan files — then an immutable/atomic distro will be fine for you. You should also be comfortable accepting that most apps will come from the app store (Flatpak) rather than installing them manually.
Yes, you can technically add layers to such distributions and customize them to your heart’s desire. You can geek out just as much as you would on any other system. But understand that this requires extra effort, and it’s generally not the primary focus of these systems. The main goal is for users who want a “set it and forget it” system that just works out of the box with a GUI (graphic user interface)
Assuming you are coming from Microsoft Windows, you should first decide between KDE Plasma and GNOME. I recommend KDE Plasma, as it will be the more visually familiar and include the most easily found, easiest-to-use graphical interface settings and options — keeping everything simple and “point-and-click.” Out of the box, it will look closest to Windows 10 or Windows 7. If you prefer a layout more like Windows 8, while still offering many easy-to-use settings (though fewer than KDE), GNOME would be a better choice. GNOME may also be a better option if you’re using a device with a touchscreen, just as Windows 8 was better suited for touchscreens.
Next, it all comes down to what you're looking for from your system.

I am digging through my old work from Linode and Akamai to build a new portfolio, and I stumbled on this illustration I did to announce that Linode had one-click app deployments.
I've just installed OpenCloud, and it's pretty good. A new self hosted open source cloud sync server. It's still lacking features and a bit basic, but the backend is written in Go, and the front in Vue / Typescript, so it's really light and snappy - compared to similar apps written with PHP.https://opencloud.eu/en/features I have it running alongside Nextcloud, and haven't decided yet if I'm replacing it. Though, the reason I went looking for alternatives anyway, is because Nextcloud has been feeling more and more bloated and sluggish.

I hope it's only a temporary glitch, but suddenly the UBS home banking login page does not seem to work on Firefox anymore (it works with Chrome). This also happens with a fresh Firefox install (no addons, mods, anything).
If this is true, then this means that from now on, the largest Swiss bank only allows customers to use their home banking with either their proprietary app (which of course requires Google Play Protection and does not work on Graphene OS), or with a hardware token plus a US-megacorp controlled browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari).

The EU, as well as every country in the world, should be taking seriously the importance of sovereign systems for communicating and disseminating information.
The ActivityPub protocol is proven and makes many platforms compatible and accessible to each other, allowing for effective information sharing and communication.
The only reason many people do not leave X is that many important services and public figures remain on that platform. Therefore, if countries truly care about digital sovereignty and resilience, they should adopt and promote the use of open source platforms and networks based on the ActivityPub protocol, whether it is Mastodon, Pleroma, Vebinet, or another platform.

Retroconversor de Videos es una pequeña herramienta GUI escrita en Python TKinter para facilitar la conversión de videos a formatos compatibles con WiiMC, Playstation 3 (Movian) y PC antiguos tipo pentium 4 e intel atom, utilizando ffmpeg. Ideal para convertir anime viejo a formato soportado en una wii y un crt antiguo.
Es libre, simple y compartida con cariño.

No one tells you just how much work goes into a small YouTube channel. For me, Terminal Tilt is a labor of love, but it is a massive undertaking:
Research and Writing: This is the largest portion. Not just diving into topics, but finding ones truly worth your time.
Filming and Privacy: I have chosen a "headless" approach (screen-only). It respects my privacy and helps me manage the workload, but it still requires a lot of setup.
Voiceovers: This is the hardest part for me. Managing social anxiety while recording is a constant hurdle, but it is one I am getting better at with every video.
Editing: I am currently spending 8–12 hours per video (since last video). As I learn more techniques, the complexity grows, but so does the quality.
The small Stuff: Learning GIMP for thumbnails and managing promotion. Those little things really do add up.
I am disabled and currently navigating the long road to SSDI approval. My goal is to grow Terminal Tilt into something sustainable, a way to support myself while advocating for ethical, #NoAI, and #deGoogled technology. I am taking this seriously and I am having a lot of fun building this.
If you value independent, human-made tech content, there are a few ways to help keep the terminal open:

🧡 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/TerminalTilt
☕ Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/terminaltilt
Thank you all for the follows, the boosts, and the support. It means the world to have your backing as I build an independent channel focused on what actually works, not just what's trending.

I self-host some things. I outsource others. Not because one is morally superior, but because defaults matter.
Convenience scales faster than consent.
Data outlives intent.
And “free” usually means “opaque”.
I’m interested in systems that respect users by design, fail in understandable ways, and let you leave without drama.
That applies to software. And to platforms.

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.87 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/30679
It's churning through GitHub Continuous Integration checks (1 of 3 passed so far which is a good sign the other two will complete successfully).
It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.
p.s. the other day I read your napcop proposal and I dig the acronym. ;)

You can simply use relay instances to be interconnected with other instances to exchange posts and it works seamless with #Mastodon, #Pleroma, #snac / #snac2 and many other ones! If you're in tech, you might want to use:

You can simply add it to get a bigger reach but also to get more interesting content into your own timeline which becomes even more important on single user- & smaller instances.
