What would be a good FOSS self-hostable for a buy nothing group? Apparently Facebook is deleting them, and I wanna convince the ppl on a different corporate software to have our next backup be on a website controlled by the admins of the group (in some way, whether technical or telling a host/sysadmin what to do)
But what sort of software should I suggest? Or what existing websites/apps could be used that seem to be pro-labor/anti-censor?

I need to find a non big tech email provider that works with #spamgourmet. Neither @protonprivacy nor Posteo does. What should I go for?

Thanks!

The most accurate carotid artery model to date — the first to capture both the soft, low-pressure behavior and the stiff, high-pressure response of the vessel.

Built on the same principles as Fung’s law, but improved: our 2014 α–β framework fits strain energy first, then derives pressure — like how F = dE/dx gives the force in a spring. Here E is the strain energy — the quantity Fung’s law was originally built around. Strain energy is differentiated to give force, and in the fits below that force corresponds to pressure.

The 1987 plot below (Fung-type) fits well only at high pressures; the 2019 plot fits low pressures. Ours is the first to capture both perfectly.

Many commented on my thread re: a modern laptop that gives as much of both my hardware & software repair as is possible — knowing getting 100% on either of those is impossible on new hardware.

@mntmn is wonderful, but its form factor doesn't suit my primary need for a laptop (lotsa tight-packed travel).

So I'll buy a #NovaCustom laptop.

I wanna configured it as #FOSS as possible.

Pls Help w/ my (many) questions.

@novacustom, don't feel obligated to reply but I'd love if you do!!

Fediverse people, need your advice! 🙂

Do you know any GoToSocial servers that are open to public signups?

Would especially like to know about general servers that aren't aimed at a specific niche.

I've had many people asking about joining a GTS server lately, not sure what to suggest as there isn't a "JoinGoToSocial" website anywhere and the official GTS site is aimed at self-hosting people.

Can I run a #Signal account on a headless #Linux box?

Note that I didn't say "should"

My kids have no gaming experience. Like a controller for a console is a foreign object.

I have a Raspberry Pi running RetroPi. I'd like to stay with older consoles because they're familiar to me and will cost me nothing. What are some SUPER beginner friendly titles?

Hey #Fediverse!

I'm building a Sound Library for Loops, my #ActivityPub video project, to let users add free audio to their videos.

I'm already looking into integrations with #FunkWhale and Bandwagon.

What other sources for free, libre, or public domain (CC-BY, CC0, etc.) music and sound effects should I check out?

Okay, nerds: Help/direction needed.

I went to a lovely nanna's house today for tea. She's downsizing because she can't manage the stairs any longer.

Anyway, she has this gorgeous naval barometer. It was last serviced by the makers in 1981. Between then and now, the glass tube that houses the mercury has cracked. She wants to get it repaired or replaced.

The original manufacturers went into administration and never recovered. So, over to the fedizens: Where can I get a new glass tube made and calibrated for her?

Notes
===

Maker: Yarley Brothers Clock and Barometer Makers
Style: Yard-long hanging naval barometer (mb/⁰F)
Issue: Crack/fracture in glass tube housing mercury (Hg retained in lower portion of glass.

She understands this will cost money; sentimental value high.

Ok, this is a long shot, but has anyone developed something that takes a Google calendar or iCal feed and turns it into an activitypub events feed?
