I wish for a desktop app to download mp3 files from youtube with proper metadata like album, artist etc. Ideally I would be looking for something like YTDLnis. I've had experience with downloading yt videos using yt-dlp GUIs, however I cannot figure out the addition of metadata part when downloading audio files. Even though a separate to insert metadata onto existing files might be useful for me later on, I would prefer it to be included within the downloader.

My first idea was to use the Gitea instance of the Free Software Foundation Europe, but T&Cs strongly encourage only projects with direct relation to the FSFE activities, so personal projects don't seem welcome.

The first-party Gitea platform seems to be in risk of becoming for-profit.

Background

Hi all, I'm part of a small NGO which has a long history but small membership due to some unfortunate events in the past. The membership was almost in the thousands across the country it's in, and now it's only in the dozens. Other orgs siphoned off members, a split happened (which didn't go anywhere) and there was a scandal that saw more people leave or resign.

This is all to say that the members of the NGO are a bit older and not very knowledgeable about technology. We use forms and take minutes during our meetings. We have in-person events, including educational, discussion, helping out other orgs, pamphleting, putting up posters, and use social media and to advertise.

Our membership is growing again but this time we are looking to be organized. Using stuff like a shared events calendar and a mailing list (right now it's a bunch of emails in a word doc that are copy pasted in gmail). Logging our experiences during events and creating maps for our postering runs. Ideally we'd like to self-host what we can since some folks donated hardware.

The Ask

My question is what would be a good approach to creating a cohesive tech stack? Things are disjointed right now and I've been working on stuff on my own but I'm a bit lost and was looking for advice. I'll write what I have done so far.

Specific Tools

Proxmox Server – to manage different machines as we add to it

MediaWiki – I set one up to have members add entries for their experiences during events for a repository of unstructured qualitative data, I used docker and cloudflare zero trust (adding emails to a whitelist and with a country whitelist) to limit who can access the wiki along with permissions for each user, not sure if this is good security practice, the mediawiki is in its own container in proxmox

OpenStreetMap – I haven't set this up yet but I wanted to annotate the different routes people could take when putting up posters, I haven't looked into if there's a street view type feature where I could add a photo to each point to show how the posters should be placed

Radicale – This would be for having better access over a shared calendar

Prospective Tools?

Guides – We do stuff like brew beer in small batches to sell at some of our events, we spent a bunch of cash on printing logos on sticker paper to put on the bottles, we learned along the way how to do it cheaply and would like to ensure that knowledge stays with us next time around, I think this might work as a section in the mediawiki but idk

Closing Thoughts

There's other stuff too like secure storage and maybe like an equivalent of wikimedia for our art/visual resources. Places to have our slideshows from our educational events and list of people to go to for different things (e.g. I and another person can make logos and simple art stuff). We also use whatsapp and signal atm and that seems to work but there is some interest in something like slack or teams for structured conversation.

If you haven't noticed I don't really know what I am doing and I'm a bit in over my head. I am having a ton of fun even though it's frustrating. I get that planning everything out isn't necessarily the best idea but it reduces my anxiety a ton to know there's some kind of a roadmap.

Thanks in advance!!

can anyone recommend a good list of open source apps please ? like one of everything , youtube , translator, dictionary , office , maps , all sorts

Today I found out that it's actually a lot easier to contribute to Open Street Map than I thought. There are some serious gaps in house addresses in my area and I was painstakingly using the built in browser editor in the browser.

But, you can use a FOSS app (available on fdroid) called StreetComplete that makes it a lot easier to help out filling in the gaps in your local map data.

It's really fun - kind of like Pokémon Go but you are actually making an impact 😁

Originally when I signed up for proton unlimited they advertised it as being a student discounted plan not a coupon… Now I go to renew my membership, and it's suddenly a coupon and not a plan anymore…. My account shows it as being a plan not a discount or coupon. It shows it as being a discounted plan. This is what is pushing me away from their service. Now going back to a free plan and using Mullvad VPN once again.

How can users confidently verify that a FOSS application is running from its published source code? Is there a easy way to check this, or is this based of checksum and hashes?

So i just saw the post here about harmonoid. Very good looking app, but it's only for a local music library.

I have mounted the iscsi disk that i also use for my plex library so i could just use harmonoid to play my plex music.

But that's not what i want. I want to be able to use the playlists i make on plex, use the files for which i made custom metadata etc.

I know the plexamp app is available on linux. But i see that it's basically just the android app ported to linux and the whole UI is absolute garbage for a desktop imho.

So does someone know a good open-source desktop music player that syncs with my plex library and playlists? I really like symfonium on my android phone for it's customizations but it's not available on linux...but something like that? Or something like harmonoid but with plex support?

Thanks !

Here's a video of it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDb8_ld9gOQ

I've been using it for almost two years now, and I'm not going back.

It's based on a spare Blackberry Q10 keyboard and a custom Arduino-compatible board that reads the keyboard matrix and outputs it as USB HID to the phone. From the viewpoint of the phone, it's just a regular USB keyboard, so no special software is needed.

But I do use a custom virtual keyboard to have just two rows of symbols that are not natively on the keyboard, as I didn't want to add another layer of rarely used symbols that I'd have to memorize.

(On the image you can see Ubuntu with XFCE4 running on it. I chose Ubuntu because it's what was easiest to get running in a chroot jail on the phone. I'm using VNC to display the GUI. I even managed to get FEX (x86/x64 emulator) and Wine running, so it runs x86/x64 Linux and Windows apps.)

Just found this today and thought I'd share.

Features:

✅ Beautiful, minimal UI
✅ 8-day forecast
✅ Imperial units support
✅ Dark and light themes
✅ No ads or trackers

Well, I have to say that Harmonoid is the best one I've found, it has a ton of cool features, it works and it allows you to be able to see your collection by album and it doesn't use Electron. Right now its development has stalled a bit but it's still pretty much in good shape, though.

I want an app that reminds me to take a 2 minute break every 30 minutes to rest my eyes. The native clock app doesn't let me choose how many breaks I want to have between my focus session. I am not interested in the features of focus sessions themselves like muting notifications and calls since I don't get any, nor do i want to use a 30 timer on repeat. I like the idea of focus sessions better, however I think it could be even better than how it currently is.

I would prefer to have an app that can do this and have some other clock related features that I can explore and use at my discretion, or be some multipurpose app that also happens to allow use of focus sessions.

Ventoy is an opensource tool to create a universal bootable USB drive for ISOs and other image files. With Ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over to create a bootable USB for different images, you just need to copy the image files to the USB drive and boot them directly via a dynamic menu.

New in v1.0.95:

• Drag to resize Ventoy2Disk.exe dialog width.
• Fix a bug when booting veket_24.
• Fix a bug when booting the latest UOS server ISO.
• New distro support: vanilladpup
• New distro support: FydeOS 17
• languages.json update

Does anyone got any television recommendations for dumb tv's or other words none smart tv's? Or even a tv that is smart but the software is open sourced making it privacy friendly?

I'm not complaining, but I didn't realize how much work it was. It makes me really respect the people who do it on a regular basis.

For example:

• You know how to use your software, but other people don't. So you need to write documentation.
• You can just modify the source files, but it's impractical for everyone to do that. So you need to add a config file.
• You can just drag the output files into place, but that's impractical for everyone to do. So you need to package it.
• You trust yourself, but distro maintainers rightfully don't. So you need to package your source code and configure the package to compile it.
• You will abide by your idea of how the software should be used, but other people might not. So you need to pick a license.

Sometimes I think there must be an easier way, but I can't think of any. I guess it probably gets easier with experience.

Hello Everyone! I make chiptunes on trackers which are quite famous for "keygen music" associated with software piracy. My philosophy with the music I make is that all my tracks can be downloaded for free, are copyright free, and most importantly: its source files can be accessed.

The last bit is something I dont see too much of in the music communities (correct me if I am wrong). I would definitely like to see this more popularised perhaps making something akin to "FOSS Music". Under all of my tracks I put a mediafire link to .xm file. I think this would be incredibly useful to creators as there many times where I hear a song and just love a specific instrument or sample they used and would like to use it in my own music.

Thoughts?

Hey y'all!

I've been using Authy for some time now (switched from Google Authenticator) but an increasing amount of people is suggesting Aegis over Authy in some posts here at Lemmy and that got me curious.

Was wondering what would be the main selling points for one to use Aegis instead of Authy, can somebody help out?

Thanks in advance!
