Hiya everyone! Have you ever considered contributing to an #OpenSource project like #Pidgin but didn't know how to get started? We have some documentation on just that topic on our website! https://pidgin.im/development/contributing/

We're asking because we could use some help catching up on code reviews! It's a great way to start learning how the code base works and best of all anyone familiar with programming can help!

If you're interested you can find our open code reviews here https://reviews.imfreedom.org/r/?show-closed=0

@truthbait Are you suggesting the USA needs a great spiritual awakening???

There's been a lot of negativity around #Matrix and #Element recently. And I (somewhat) joined in and expressed my frustration with it every now and then. Something I still appreciate around #Matrix is the fact, that they listen to (most of) the criticism and acknowledge (many of) their problems. There's a nice self-critical video addressing all of this recent criticism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyuqM7RbX5E

We issued a security release to fix two high severity protocol vulnerabilities. Please upgrade your servers and clients.

Solar charged/battery power meshtastic node is finally up.

Changed to RAK4631 that uses one tenth the power of the Heltec V3 that I was using originally. Also went with two 18650 batteries in parallel that are charged by solar panel.

RAK4631: Most common WisBlock Core used for Meshtastic.

Microcontroller: Nordic nRF52840 (BLE + Cortex-M4)

LoRa Chip: Semtech SX1262

Connectivity: BLE, USB, LoRa

Power: Ultra-low power consumption

Good.

IMPORTANT: We're pre-disclosing two high severity CVEs in Matrix's federation protocol, which will require a coordinated upgrade on July 22nd of all servers running in untrusted federations. Client developers may need to make minor changes too. Please see https://matrix.org/blog/2025/07/security-predisclosure/

This deserves its own post. Phenomenal dissertation by a brilliant young mind. From 2018, she did this at 14 years old.

Kids given real responsibility and the opportunity to earn trust and develop judgement and skills will be alright in this world.

I'd love to start a conversation to highlight a comparison between #fedora #coreos and @opensuse #microos, given that they're both immutable and can be bootstrapped with butane/ignition. What do you prefer, and why?

Big thanks to @fedora for being a sponsor of #oSC25! We love seeing #opensource communities support each other. #openSUSE #Fedora #Linux #Love https://events.opensuse.org/

#measles in 1969 vs now!

Is it wrong for me to see it as delicious irony that GMail, Google's flagship web mail client, flagged an e-mail from Google itself touting the marvels of its very own AI assistant, Gemini, as spam...?
