I now use the latest nvmutil, to set *random* MAC addresses on every laptop I sell!

I sell ThinkPads with coreboot and Debian Linux on my store: https://minifree.org

Coreboot replaces proprietary BIOS/UEFI boot firmware giving you more secure control of your boot experience.

I wrote nvmutil myself, recently, to replace an older tool that I wrote before. One of its main benefits is that it can set random MAC addresses, hardcoded in the flash. This is the "default" MAC address, for your NIC.

When service X is down, everyone rushes to Twitter to write about it.

I spent years wondering where I would address my rants in case Twitter was down.

Today #twitterdown happened, the Fediverse remained healthy and up, and nobody here gave a sh*t about it.

What (software) tools do you use to analyse/store/process data that you recorded with #OpenTracks?
How to you export the data?
And what is your purpose?

I want to write some documentation showing which tools are available and how people were putting them together.

If you're looking for initiatives that are a bit more techy than Grow Your Own Services, I've listed some in the "related" section:

If you have any suggestions for the list let me know!

Germany announced a EUR 3.5 million/year new 'Sovereign Tech Fund' to support open source projects.

We look forward to creating complementarities with #NGI.

I think you can check if your medias url now uses your minio url.

Another test to be sure before burning everything is to just move your public files directory into another location and check if anything break.

This post is getting shared like crazy for the past hours....that's great! Would be awesome to get some projects through it. I already almost completed 3. 15 or so more left :). After that no more. I am 1 human I can't do a proper job if I take more than 20 or so. Anyway, thank you all for sharing it!

We also have trom.tf/ where we provide trade-free services such as Friendica, Nextcloud, Jitsi, Peertube, and more.

♲ @tio@social.trom.tf:

I am releasing a new project to, hopefully, make some money so that I can support our TROM project and myself. This is it -->> webape.site/



So. I provide managed instances for Mastodon, Peertube, Nextcloud, Friendica, and a few other services. On top of this I am making any kind of website in Wordpress. This is my "skill" and so I will try to make some money like this. I have to, I have no choice.

But listen.

I am not making a "business" out of this. I want to do a decent job at it, so I will only take 20-30 projects. Enough to sustain myself and have the time to focus on TROM, plus be able to properly manage these paid-for websites.

I tried to provide really cheap and very "tempting" offers, if anyone is interested, since I will only post once about this on my profile, the rest go on the Federated profile of the project -->> social.trom.tf/profile/webape

Here is what I offer:

Mastodon:


Peertube:


Nextcloud:


Wordpress:


I can setup huge instances up to 25TB of diskspace. And provide support over email or chat (Matrix).

If you think anyone may be interested, give it a share.
