Right now even on best Fdroid stores (like Neostore) it's too easy to miss good apps and you mostly get recent releases of very simples apps. Would be cool if we'd make some kind of foss app ratings, does anyone know some ?

I know other devs interested in making Tux games but before I begin with them I figured I would ask the community what they would like to see

A Conker/Golden Eye type game? DOOM-like? Farming Sim? Fighting Game similar to Smash? Open World RPG similar to older Bethesda games? RTS like StarCraft? Turn-Based like Final Fantasy or Expedition 33? Going mad for power in a 4X? Another genre entirely?

What genre would you all prefer to see have a game made first? I will basing it off of likes

I plan to make a game in each genre but for now figuring out which to do first is the goal. Have concepts, tools, experience, devs, etc ready to make anything the community wants

I run pi-hole on https://mydomain.com:88766. How do I configure windows to use this as DNS server?

DNS config seems only to support ip address and not domain name, and no place to fill in the port number

thanks a lot

Google’s Android, the world’s most widely used mobile operating system, started life as open-source software. In its quest for ever-greater profits, the tech giant has been gradually eroding Android’s open-source nature over the last decade.

From their newsletter:

We’re so excited to share that the 22nd dataset release for Common Voice is now available for download.

Common Voice 22.0 has an additional 281 hours of speech data, bringing the total number of hours to 33,815. This release has also seen a jump in 296 newly validated hours, with a total of 22,640 validated hours of clips. This release welcomes the addition of Aromanian (rup), Tajik (tg), and Venda/Tshivenda (ve) languages.

Aromanian is spoken by around 210,000 people in the Balkans, while Tajik is a language closely related to Persian spoken in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan by over 10 million people. Venda / Tshivenda is spoken by over 2 million people as a first or other language in South Africa and Zimbabwe.

This brings the total number of languages available in this Scripted Speech release to 137.

For those unfamiliar:

Common Voice is a crowdsourcing project started by Mozilla to create a free and open speech corpus. The project is supported by volunteers who record sample sentences with a microphone and review recordings of other users. The transcribed sentences are collected in a voice database available under the public domain license CC0.[1] This license ensures that developers can use the database for voice-to-text and text-to-voice applications without restrictions or costs.

Excerpts from the Changelog:

Whispering v7.0.0 represents the biggest rewrite in the project's entire history. We completely rewrote the application's query layer, service architecture, and UI foundations.

This is a comprehensive architectural overhaul that enhances everything. The UI responds more quickly to your actions. Errors are clearer and recover automatically. The new visual shortcut recorder displays your key combinations in real-time. And with support for local transcription through Speaches, you can now use Whispering completely offline without any API keys.

But honestly, what you'll notice most is just how much smoother everything feels. The app responds the way you'd expect it to, without the weird delays or quirks from v6.

Tasks.org is an amazing app but it's android only. I've got the back ups showing up on my linux machine via syncthing, but is there a tasks app that can use them?

anyone actually use chatterUI with a small model on their mobile to do anything useful? like latex ocr or language translation? how do you incorporate it into your workflow (that actually improves your efficiency)?

please share your opinions on this matter, any input is appreciated

I had already posted this to a couple of selfhosting communities, but thought it may fit in opensource as well.

Self-hostable Wakatime alternative for code time tracking

I searched the whole internet for a good wakatime alternative that is open-source and doesn't have a bad UI while being lightweight and fast.

I was unable to find anything good so that's why I built Ziit a code time tracking software with a minimal and clean UI heavily inspired by Plausible Analytics because most people are already familiar with that UI.

I appreciate every star and welcome feedback or bug reports. https://github.com/0PandaDEV/Ziit

If you want to use it but don't want to self-host it, you can make an account on the public instance at https://ziit.app/

Hey fellow FOSS folks!

For past few weeks I’ve been working on a passion project called Openwrite — a minimalist, open-source blogging platform focused on privacy, simplicity, and full user control. It’s built with Flask and released under the AGPL license. Inspired by platforms like WriteFreely, but with a few twists.

What it offers right now:

Multiple blogs per user (or single-blog mode, ideal for self-hosting)

• SQLite & MySQL support
• Image uploads (local or BunnyCDN)
• Markdown editor with live preview
• Custom blog themes (like a 6 now but I upload new regularly)
• Custom CSS per blog
• Gemini support – yes, gemini://openwrite.io works!
• No tracking, hashed IPs only for basic stats
• Dashboard with view statistics (OS, browser, timelines – all for free)
• ActivityPub federation (Follow, Like)
• RSS feeds, optional search engine indexing, and "Discover" section

Oh — and it supports importing posts from XML(wordpress) or CSV.

What makes it different?

I’m trying to build something:

• FOSS-first (no paid plans, no analytics spyware, no nonsense)
• Purely optional in hosting: you can run your own instance or use mine
• Built for people like us — nerds, tinkerers, writers, privacy lovers

Current status

Still in 0.x versions (currently at 0.10.4), but stable and usable. I’d love early feedback, contributors, ideas, testers — anything really. First pull request will make me cry tears of joy.

Hello!

I've been using FOSS on my phone, laptop and desktop for a few years now and never had the opportunity or the bravery to contribute to any project.

I've been thinking for a while now, how could I give something to the community?

I'm a web developer, so obviously that's what this project idea is all about. A website where we can have a few things, very useful for the FOSS community.

I wanted to ask the lemmy community what they think about it, because maybe it already exists something similar or if you have some ideas or feedback.

The idea:

As mentioned before, I'm planing on a creation of a "central hub" for the FOSS community.

I was thinking on a website where we can have:

• Events/Calendar: A place where we can see in a simple way all the events, meets up or similar in the FOSS community, with a calendar to see the exact dates and events with a filter to be able to select specific countries or tags.

• Documentation: A place where we can create documentation for projects that don't have the documentation or is very basic.

• Ideas: A place where we can share ideas for projects, look for people to/for help or look for feedback and try to make them real.

• Tracker: A place where we can log in with our GitHub/Codeberg/GitLab... accounts and be able to track all the project we are contributing in a simple way.

These are my early ideas and what I've been thinking about. Maybe some of them won't see the light, maybe all of them or even more things will see light.

I would love to see what you guys have to say about this idea!

Thanks for taking your time reading this!

Hi all !

I just released the first version of Gosuki, a multi-browser real time bookmark manager I have been writing on and off for the past few years. It aggregates your bookmarks in real time across all browsers and even external APIs such as Reddit and Github.

• Github: https://github.com/blob42/gosuki
• Documentation: https://gosuki.net/
• Video Demo

I was always annoyed by the existing bookmark management solutions and wanted a tool that just works without relying on browser extensions, self-hosted servers or cloud services. As a developer and Linux user I also find myself using multiple browsers simultaneously depending on the needs so I needed something that works with any browser and can handle multiple profiles per browser.

The few solutions that exist require manual management of bookmarks. Gosuki automatically catches any new bookmark in real time so no need to manually export and synchronize your bookmarks. It allows a tag based bookmarking experience even if the native browser does not support tags. You just hit ctrl+d and write your tags in the title.

Feature Highlights:

• A single binary with no dependencies or browser extensions necessary. It just work right out of the box.
• Use the universal ctrl+d shortcut to add bookmarks and call custom commands.
• Tag with #hashtags even if your browser does not support it. You can even add tags in the Title. If you are used to organize your bookmarks in folders, they become tags
• Real time tracking of bookmark changes
• Builtin, local Web UI which also works without Javascript (w3m friendly)
• suki cli command for a dmenu/rofi compatible output
• Modular and extensible: Run custom scripts and actions per tags and folders when particular bookmarks are detected
• Browser Agnostic: Detects which browsers you have installed and watch changes across all of them
• Also handles multiple profiles per browser
• Stores bookmarks in a portable sqlite database compatible with the Buku. You can use any program that was made for buku.
• Can fetch your bookmarks from external APIs (Reddit and Github for now).
• Easily extensible to handle any browser or API

It's open source with an AGPLv3 license, Checkout the README and website docs for more details.

Edit: Multi device synchronization is not yet available but is on the top priority list and likely implemented in this next release.

"Der Support für #Windows10 endet am 14. Oktober 2025. #Microsoft möchte, dass Sie sich deshalb einen neuen #Computer kaufen.

Aber was wäre, wenn Sie Ihren derzeitigen Computer wieder schnell und sicher machen könnten ?

Wenn Sie Ihren Computer nach 2010 gekauft haben, gibt es höchstwahrscheinlich keinen Grund diesen zu entsorgen.

Wenn Sie einfach ein aktuelles #Linux-#Betriebssystem installieren, können Sie ihn noch jahrelang weiterverwenden.

Die Installation eines Betriebssystems mag zunächst kompliziert erscheinen.

Aber keine Sorge, Sie sind nicht allein! Oft gibt es in Ihrer Nähe hilfsbereite Menschen, die Ihnen dabei unter die Arme greifen können."
