Does anyone know if:
1) #Codeberg's is run on 100% #FreeCode with no proprietary dependencies (goOgle captcha, third-party scripts etc)
2) the Codeberg team are aware of and participating in the #ForgeFed working group?
3) How Codeberg stacks up against the #GNU Ethical Repository Criteria:

I didn't even know #XFCE was installable (and runnable) on Debian GNU/Hurd!

It works flawlessly (well, the file manager crashes) so far. Slow as heck on my QEMU image, but it's still really neat.

#Moka icons and the #Arc theme also work well.

As usual, I cannot easily startx as a non-root user. I need to look into this further.

In the last few months:
- Tumblr purged adult content (and a bunch of stuff it misindentified).
- Flickr purged free storage above a limit of 1000 photos/account.
- Myspace deleted 12 years' worth of music.

And Google+ only has two weeks left before Google pulls its plug.

How to share work with multiple cooperatives - http://bit.ly/2U6tjVH
Show and Tell with Agaric was awesome this week as Nicolas Dimarco shared the process his cooperative Fiqus.coop uses to share work with others - in a Federation! It is a game changer!!!

So... we're designing our new house... and I'm planning to make is a corporate-free smart-home... https://iot.mozilla.org/ thanks to Kathy Giori of Mozilla who introduced it to me at $LCA2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEHL3ZYS790

Right. I think it's because the commercialization of access is what generally lowers the bar for access: folks who join before the commercialization are insiders who have passed the shibboleth (which may even just be obscurity), while anybody who can be described as MOP is by definition part of the deluge & is blissfully unaware of the function of whatever gates they hopped.

What if we had a virtual assistant that we could truly trust and knows everything about us?

.mdx files are a mix of markdown and JSX, used for writing content heavy websites like blogs: https://reacttraining.com/blog/gatsby-mdx-blog/

Interesting file format that I haven't seen before.

would anyone be interested in some sort of distributed AP roundtable discussion that is livestreamed?

Apache Jena is a free and open source Java framework for building #SemanticWeb and Linked Data applications. With support for #RDF, #OWL and #SPARQL, it's a powerful set of apis and tools that work together well without extra integration effort.

Over the years, people have asked when #FreedomBox would be ready.

We're about to answer them.

We're announcing big news in our session at #LibrePlanet hosted by @fsf

I wrote a thing about why I believe the best and most useful decentralized applications are going to be the ones that utilize multiple protocols. I imagine a world where ActivityPub, Dat, and Secure ScuttleButt are all seen as tools in a toolbox rather than as ecosystems, and what kind of amazing software we could build with them outside of the central/corporate paradigm.

Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) is officially RFC 8555 now:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8555

"This document describes a protocol that a CA and an applicant can use to automate the process of verification and certificate issuance. The protocol also provides facilities for other certificate management functions, such as certificate revocation."

And an associated tutorial https://genode.org/documentation/articles/sculpt-ce

Genode is hands down one of the most interesting FOSS projects around today.
