I'm streaming KDE docs:

Be sure to join and ask any questions related to KDE and I'll try my best to answer them.

Every single stream I do is an Ask Me Anything KDE Edition ™️

Today I'll see about finishing polishing the "Preparing your software for release" page. Otherwise, I might start porting another library to QDoc. I may also play with RPM packaging.

I've just published my new blog post:

"KDE onboarding is good now."

It will be awesome next.

I talk about my history with Linux and KDE and what I've done over the years, going through my work as a documentation contractor for KDE until I reach the current state of KDE onboarding docs.

The desktop will succeed once you are able to natively program an annoying goose that walks and tracks mud around your screen, steals your cursor (even mid game), and creates and pulls windows with nagging text and goose puns to the sides of your desktop.

xdg-goose protocol when?

So I update my system's flatpaks only to discover that my flatpak build of visual studio no longer works with my flatpak tool for podman remote.

I'm at a bit of a loss here. I think I might just layer vscode into my podman image for now to avoid these types of issues, but I would honestly prefer to no have these types of things layered into my system.

@eoinoneill You can just revert the flatpak to a previous working commit.

    @vkc Whenever I try Arch, it's always without the AUR.

    It's the most well supported way of using it, all packages in the main repos are curated by the distro maintainers, the AUR is not.

    My new blog post is now up!

    You can contribute to KDE with non-C++ code

    I always see:

    • people being told they can contribute to KDE with C++/QML
    • people being told they can contribute to KDE without code

    But I don't often see:

    • people being told that they can contribute to KDE with code that is not C++

    I like C++, QML, and even CMake, but you might not be interested in them or you might just not be willing to spend time learning another language, and that's perfectly fine.

    In this blog post I list a few KDE projects that you might not know about that might be written in your preferred language or in a specialized format you have expertise or interest in.

    By far, the most popular programming language actively used in KDE other than the expected languages is Python.

    We also have stuff that would interest sysadmins (containers), packagers (snap/flatpak) and web developers.

    The future of selfhosted services is going to be... Android?

    Wait, what?

    Think about it. At some point everyone has had an old phone lying around. They are designed to be constantly connected, constantly on... and even have a battery and potentially still a SIM card to survive power outages.

    We just need to make it easy to create APK packaged servers that can avoid battery-optimization kills and automatically configure an outbound tunnel like ngrok, zerotrust, etc...

    The goal: hosting services like , , !? should be as easy as installing an APK and leaving an old phone connected to a spare charger / outlet.

    It would be tempting to have an optimized ROM, but if self-hosting is meant to become more commonplace, installing an APK should be all that's needed. can do SSH, VPN and other tunnels without the need for root, so there should be no problem in using tunnels to publicly expose a phone/server in a secure manner.

    In regards to the suitability of home-grade broadband, I believe that it should not be a huge problem at least in Europe where home connections are most often unmetered: "At the end of June 2021, 70.2% of EU homes were passed by either FTTP or cable DOCSIS
    3.1 networks, i.e. those technologies currently capable of supporting gigabit speeds."

    Source: https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/broadband-coverage-europe-2021

    PS. syncthing actually already has an APK and is easy to use. Although I had to sort out some battery optimization stuff, it's a good example of what should become much more commonplace.

    @Wander selfhosted@lemmy.world icon Selfhosted This sort of setup is very attractive IMO because of the low power usage. Android phones use much less power than old PCs.

    The main con I see is not having ethernet (maybe there's some sort of MicroUSB/USB-C to ethernet adapter, but I didn't look into it yet). That, and there being only one port.
