How is your experience with Fedora as a server? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] americanwaste@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

We used to run firewalls running Fedora at work, works fine. Issue is you're only getting 6 months of updates, best to look at Rocky Linux for something that doesn't change much if you do anything beyond a single program.

An Untold History of Thunderbird in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] americanwaste@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Previous blogs have mentioned K-9 is just being rebranded as Thunderbird for Android once the Android app is closer in features to the desktop release. The iOS release will be new entirely as I don't know of an existing iOS email app they can rebrand.

DSA Feed: Updates from Democratic Socialists of America Chapters and publications from across the country (feed.dsausa.org)
 

Democratic Socialists of America have launched DSA Feed which is a new website to aggregate updates from DSA and YDSA chapters, publications, and national level committees in a single place.

DSA's National Tech Committee wrote about this tool's launch here: https://tech.dsausa.org/introducing-dsa-feed-an-aggregator-for-dsa-publications-from-the-ntc/

This is also a small step in reducing our collective dependence on capitalist social media. We’re seeing the downfall of many of these social media sites in real time, which has a deep implication for DSA as our reach for our message and our work will be impacted. But we can mitigate this by all of us as an organization, whether it be local chapters all the way up to national bodies, continuing to flex our publishing muscles and creating more work to update to our websites.

Framework Laptop's mainboard is now open source and available for purchase separately in c/technology@lemmy.ml

It's listed as "medium difficulty" due to newer hardware in the laptop not being fully compatible with the kernel shipped in that old version of Ubuntu. I believe 22.04 is compatible out of the box.

I had to use a Debian sid nightly installer to set up Debian on my laptop, no big deal for me but for someone new to Linux I can see why that might be off-putting.
