Question about donating to open source
  • I am all in favor for spreading donations across many - especially smaller - projects. I think that there are two levels to donations:

    • The monetary one. Donating helps fund development either by paying for a full-time dev or by helping the dev stay financially stable to do a bit less work hours so they have time for the project.
    • The psychological one. Most people that publish their code online are not expecting this to become big. And when a stranger from the internet appreciates their code enough for a donation this is a huge motivational factor.

    I even tend to think that donating 5€ more to GIMP is less valuable than giving the money to some random project.

  • Open Source League of Legends remake in the works!

    There is a community forming right now that aims to write a MOBA from scratch, mostly fueled due to the Vanguard incident on Linux. I am not affiliated with the project, but wanted to raise attention to it (as I am currently on cold League turkey since a month).

    Firefox curated list of NSFW sites (MD5 hashed) from FF source code. Community effort?

    Those are the MD5 hashes of a lot of adult sites. They list them, so they can filter them from "often visited". In https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1159884 they reason, that this is so that virus scanners don't detect FF as malicious (due to containing references to those sites). Let's get the list!

    You can also access this list locally by typing in resource://activity-stream/lib/FilterAdult.sys.jsm into your URL bar.

    [Note that this post is technically not NSFW as they are only MD5 hashes.]

    What tools and lists are you using to make the Internet more enjoyable and filter out the crap?

    Mostly interested in non-standard ones, e.g. https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt. Not necessarily just about ad-blocking but a clean online experience like SponsorBlock. Interested in non-standard uBO lists as well.

    I will try to compile a list of what was said here:

    Looking for somewhat remote trails in Central Europe

    Sorry for the wall of text, but as we put it all down, we realised that we had to add more and more criteria.

    We are planning our last trip for this year and are based in Germany. Our plans/funds unfortunately don't allow something as far away as Scotland/Sweden/... so we are looking in Germany, Denmark, BeNeLux, Western France, Austria or Switzerland.

    Ideally, this trail is not too much of a misery in autumn. We are fine with lots of ups and down, but not equipped for mountains or very alpine terrain in this time of the year. We would be fine with huts or shelters, but could also wild camp (if it's no too much of a hassle). Doing just a certain section (5days max) would be fine for us as well.

    Bonus points for remoteness and beautiful nature. Walking along roads, forestry roads or villages all day is a bit monotone after a while.

    Might be that this does not exist; we enjoyed e.g. the West Highland Way very much and are looking forward for Sweden/Norway.
