🥁 About a month ago I asked how is everyone managing their sound effect archive...
🎺 And today I'm sharing SLAMY with the world!

It's a super-simple sound library manager with a built-in mixer for quick edits. It's a great help to me, and maybe to you too?

yurisizov.itch.io/slamy

Available for all desktop platforms (macOS builds are coming up shortly!), made with Godot, and fully FOSS itself:

codeberg.org/YuriSizov/slamy

PS. If yellow is not your color, I'm truly sorry!

最近很常 討論產前產後適合吃的料理，本以為烹飪這種資料庫應該悠久且豐富的題材，AI會回答得很好，但它還是幾次提出讓我覺得「你知道你在說什麼嗎」的菜單，例如：雞腿肉切成如火鍋肉片那樣的薄片、菠菜雞湯。

連在烹飪領域都有這麼誇張的錯誤，我對AI真是愈來愈沒信心。

Alright, one more reason to love :

I just upgraded one of my nuidns servers without issue. For those who don't know, nuidns is my rocinante+bastille based jail system for anycasted authoritative and recursive DNS. It has two commands, create and destroy. All I had to do was bootstrap 15.0-RELEASE with @BastilleBSDBastilleBSD :freebsd: - and update the rocinante scripts to use the newer release, then run a destroy, followed by a create. Done, no errors, no warnings.

My hard work on this system over the years is certainly part of why it works so well. But FreeBSD's dedication to the principle of least surprise is what makes it possible. If I had done this with Linux+Docker, I would likely have to retool it with every major distro release and often for the minor ones.

I love FreeBSD because it just works, and it does so consistently.

Over the last couple of days I visited my parents and used this opportunity to migrate my fathers PC from Windows 10 to Linux Mint (take that, Micro$oft), as this machine is only used for web browsing and light office use.

Instead of spending Money on a license, I upgraded the Fujitsu i5-4690 8G RAM PC to a Lenovo m720q i5-9400t 16G RAM PC, which ironically used to run Windows as well.

To migrate - and more importantly - back up all his files, I installed UrBackup, which now runs in a bastille jail on the local FreeBSD NAS. It's now automatically backing up all the files, backed by (the amazing) OpenZFS.

And to allow remote access for remote assistance, I also installed Rustdesk in another bastille Jail, but this time on the FreeBSD NAS at my place. This now allows easy access without having to rely on the benevolence of TeamViewer anymore.

Thanks to FOSS software, I only spent a little over €120 on the new hardware and a couple of hours of time, half of which was spent talking to family. It was all well spent, in my opinion. 😁🎅🎄

This is good advice, and applies to any software, not just open source. I'm trying to be more aware of this when I post about my own apps, trying to assume whoever reads it has never even heard of my app before.

Dear OSS community on Mastodon, Every day I scroll through my feed and I see proud announcements like: > “First Alpha Relase of HyperTurboWidget available" or > “Version 2.7.1 now with improved glorb handlers!” or > “Flux Capacitor version 4.5 is out” … and I sit there wondering if I should be excited, terrified, or calling a licensed electrician. Don’t get me wrong, I love open source. I just have **no idea** what three quarters of these projects actually **do**. Are we talking about a web server? A file system? A middleware thingy that keeps the flux from overflowing into the space–time continuum? So, dear OSS developers of the world: When you announce a new release, please give us (your adoring but slightly confused audience) just a **tiny** bit of context. - Tell us what your software does. - Tell us why this release is cool. - Tell us what it requires to work. Example: > We are proud to announce Flux Capacitor version 4.5 is now avalaible. While it creates a nice wormhole to 1955, it requires an underlying gigawatt stack 1.21 to work reliably. Because nobody wants to cheer enthusiastically for “v2.7.1” while secretly Googling “what is a glorb and why does it need handling”. Yours truly, *Someone who wants to celebrate your achievements*

10 (Not So) Hidden Dangers of Age Verification

It’s nearly the end of 2025, and half of the US and the UK now require you to upload your ID or scan your face to watch “sexual content.” A handful of states and Australia now have various requirements to verify your age before you can create a social media account.Age-verification laws may sound...
