Doing a cool hike today

People with alternative social media icons on their shirts running joyfully away, arms linked, from angry toxic media icons trying to grasp them from a device.

Launching http://xodus.online ! Building a movement away from toxic social media, towards alternative social media (open social web) - the why, the where-to and the how! Please support our launch ! https://xodus.online/2025/10/30/launching-xodus-online/ #MastodonMigration

I really think that people who haven’t been poor should not give money or frugality advice to poor people. The problem with poor people isn’t money management or knowledge, it’s the insufficiency of money. This goes for anyone who wants to help people on food stamps navigate this situation […]

Ini aslinya gigi gue ngilu, cuma kalo emang gak ada tekanan di gigi itu, ya gak sakit sih. Jadi ini seharian, atau dari tadi malem, posisi mulut gue agak aneh.

I'm in a #github internal group for high-profile FOSS projects (due to @leaflet having a few kilo-stars), and the second most-wanted feature is "plz allow us to disable copilot reviews", with the most-wanted feature being "plz allow us to block issues/PRs […]

I might gonna give Arch (not the derivatives) a try on my main machine next time I got a new SSD to see if it can catch up with my vibe

Or just straight back to Debian 13 like my server because I want stability nonetheless

I've been on the hunt for some accessible, easily self-hosted (on prem or datacenter) chat solution for a while now, and I've been looking very closely at deltachat/chatmail.

Not gonna lie, the fact that just uses mature SMTP facilities for transport is making me weirdly aroused.

If anyone has […]

put out a new 'goat' release (v0.1.2) with basic support for PDS administration ('goat pds admin ...').

if you run it from a PDS instance it should find admin auth info automatically.

hope to have this replace the 'pdsadmin' shell script over time

A royal gold medal _The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences_ (IVA, the same org that selects winners for three of the Nobel prize categories) awards me a gold medal 2025 for my work on curl. This academy, established 1919 by the Swedish king Gustav V, has been awarding _great achievers_ for over one hundred years and the simple idea behind the awards is, as quoted from their website: > Gold medals are awarded every year to people who, through outstanding deeds, have contributed to creating a better society. I am of course humbled and greatly honored to have been selected as a receiver of said award this year. To be recognized as someone who **have contributed to creating a better society** , selected by top people in competition with persons of remarkable track records and achievements. Not too shabby for a wannabe-engineer like myself who did not even attend university. There have been several software and tech related awardees for this prize before, but from what I can tell I am the first Open Source person to receive this recognition by the academy. ## Justification The Academy’s justification is given in Swedish (see below) but it should be translated roughly like this: _System developer Daniel Stenberg is awarded the IVA Gold Medal for his contributions to software development, where he has been central to internet infrastructure and free software. Through his work with curl, the tool that is now used by billions of devices worldwide, he has enabled reliable and secure data transfer over the internet. Not just between programs in traditional computers, but everything from smartphones and cars, to satellites and spacecraft._ The original Swedish “motivering”: _Systemutvecklare Daniel Stenberg tilldelas IVAs Guldmedalj för sina insatser inom mjukvaruutveckling där han haft en central betydelse för internetinfrastruktur och fri programvara. Genom sitt arbete med curl, verktyget som i dag används av miljarder enheter världen över, har han möjliggjort tillförlitlig och säker dataöverföring över internet. Inte bara mellan program i traditionella datorer utan allt från smartphones och bilar, till satelliter och rymdfarkoster._ ## The ceremony The associated award ceremony when the physical medal is handed over happens this Friday at the Stockholm City Hall‘s Blue Hall, the same venue used for the annual Nobel Prize banquet. I have invited my wife and my two adult kids to participate in those festivities. ## A _second_ medal indeed Did I not already receive a gold medal? Why yes, I did eight years ago. Believe me, it does not _get old_. This is something I can get used to. But yes: it is beyond crazy to get one medal in your life. Getting _two_ is simply incomprehensible. This is also my _third_ award received within this calendar year so I completely understand if you already feel bored by my blog posts constantly banging my own drum. See European Open Source Achievement Award and Developer of the year for the two previous ones. ## The medal I wanted to include a fine high resolution image of the medal in this post, but I failed to fine one. I suppose I will just have to make a few shots by myself after Friday and do a follow-up post!

Had an issue with Plexamp Linux app. Both from Flatpak and using the AppImage. After I reboot the app, it won't play anything despite being able to see the library. Guess I just use the web interface then.

My Plex server, a headless Pentium laptop from 2004, and my phone running Plexamp playing back from that laptop

I love my 2004 Plex home server

Today I learned to install Plex on my old laptop
It runs great for my personal music library
Even tho it's just a Pentium M laptop from 2004

It's International Smug Self-Hosters Day! Best wishes to all who celebrate.
