Just wrapped up a chunk of work on my pet project:
Building a context & memory store for AI interactions with #FOSS
• Closed a long-running issue
• Merged the branch
• Tagged a new release
A welcoming moment where it feels like I”m making real progress — even though the roadmap is basically a polite way of saying “you’re nowhere near done.”
Still, one less issue. Making progress. Feels good.
Counterproductive infighting that delays the FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) community from reaching World Domination while alienating progress: BSD v Linux, KDE v Gnome, Emacs v vim, systemd v SysV init, GPL v MIT/BSD 2/3 clause, X11 v Wayland. And that's just part of the list. If we could finally move from ego driven being "against" to a cooperative "what next?" — that would be nice. #GoodNight

Time to ditch #Telegram:

We’re proud to see CryptPad technology powering the new Online Vault in Murena Workspace, part of the /e/OS 3.0 release.
It brings end-to-end encrypted file storage and real-time collaboration right into your phone. A big step for privacy that stays easy to use.
Built in Europe. Open source.
Just the way we like it.
👏 Thanks to the Murena team for making strong encryption accessible.

PSA: No matter what, do not let the Elon Musk and Donald Trump feud distract you from the fact that both have collaborated to rob us of basic healthcare, basic civil rights, and basic economic security—while lining the pockets of billionaires. This childish feud appears entertaining but is ultimately a distraction.
Stay focused on ensuring we stop this horrific bill from becoming law.
A tip for VS Code editor fans who seek a FOSS alternative.
It exists. And it’s essentially the de-Microsoft version
Now it’s time for the obligatory panel discussion at #NextCloudSummit25
With Cécile Boutelet, Frank Karlitschek, Pencho Kuzev, Alexandra Geese, Max von Thun and Timo Väliharju.
I recently had a problem with my dual boot setup. Here's a summary of what happened and the "fix" I went with: https://ilyess.cc/posts/dual-boot-struggles/
Let me know what you think!
On a beautiful day, I was minding my own business, tinkering around on my computer and suddenly… Pitch black! Power outage. All electronics go dark, and I have to resort to pre-digital-era distractions until the power’s back. No big deal. Some time passes and the power is finally restored. Back in my comfy seat, ready to pick up my digital wandering where it got interrupted, I press the power button and eagerly wait. Few seconds later, I’m greeted with an unfamiliar boot menu. It definitely isn’t Grub, to my surprise. It’s the Windows bootloader1… How? Why? Where did my beloved Arch installation go? And just like that, down the rabbit hole I dove in pursuit of a plausible explanation for this mystery. But before I take you down with me through this tortuous investigation, I think I need to lay down some foundational context first.
