cleaned up a lot of silkscreen and added most missing 3d models. so this is pretty close to what the first test version of the MNT Reform 2 motherboard will look like.

If @fdroidorg wants to ban clients that promote "free speech", why have they not banned Chanu? I would say that there is more "hate speech" on 4chan than Gab.

The excellent Mastodon/PeerTube/Pleroma app Mastalab has changed its name to "Fedilab", to reflect that it works on many Fediverse services.

Fedilab is available through Google Play and @fdroidorg

The new site is at:
https://fedilab.app

Their Fediverse account remains the same though, it's still at:
@tom79

(It's also due to get PixelFed support soon.)

Thanks to everyone who helped make the first #CopyleftConf a success; the #FOSDEM video team, speakers, volunteers and of course, attendees!! Please let us know what we can do to make next year even better.

Don't trust "open source" projects with Contributor License Agreements, they are effectively not open source/free software at all and cannot be trusted or forked in productive ways that eliminate corporate control. (glares at Microsoft with VSCode and Azure)

#Briar is an unusual kind of messenger for Android devices: there are no servers, messages are stored on your phone and sent directly to your contact's phone through TOR, wi-fi or bluetooth.

It's designed for journalists, activists, people working in disaster zones and anyone interested in "off the grid" communication.

The official site is here:

https://briarproject.org

The app is free, open source and available through @fdroidorg and Google Play.

Happy anniversary to linux-libre-firmware (a repository that contains free firmware for use with GNU Linux-libre). The first commit was 1 year ago today. https://jxself.org/git/?p=linux-libre-firmware.git

This soviet-era display shows a few curious design choices, and results in a remarkably rugged and thin unit. https://hackaday.com/2018/11/06/soviet-era-7-segment-display-built-like-a-tank/
