Minirelease for Feber (a simple, self-hostable, portable group calendar): 1.3.0 \o/
Although #feber does not support multiple calendars per installation, it can easily be installed multiple times under a single domain (simply copy the installation files into multiple subdirectories), and this release is all about officially supporting this by isolating the (php) sessions across different calendars (which previously was not the case). Many thanks to Thom for communicating this usecase and issue to me!
Also included in this release are some tweaks and use of gender neutral language ("account" rather than "user") for the french translations (thank you @CyberSaloperie!), which I'd like to extend to the other locales (and internal translation keys etc.) when I finally get to it. :)

Clear sky, no #clouds.
Copying the image from one #Librem5 to another #Librem5.
Stars shining, just me my notebook and two usb connections.
#Freedom, #sovereignty and no other peoples computers.
It's time to #upgrade my #yunohost to version 12. I started drafting and testing a plan on how to get through it without any unwelcome surprises.
If you're interested in upgrading your own yunohost: you're welcome to look at my draft (yes, I didn't write it with sharing in mind 
).
Any feed back is welcome! When I'll done I'll publish the final version as a reply to this post.

Did anyone know about this federated "flea market" / craigslist type classified software? It's called flohmarkt. I came across it by accident today. Looks simple to setup and install, also.
Code is here:

Upgraded my testing #yunohost vm successfully to #bookworm.
My production #yunohost is in some places modified and actively being used for #email, #matrix and some other things by friends+family.
To get an estimated of the time needed to upgrade it and find any issues beforehand I setup a testing board and copied the installation over to test the upgrade.

I just tagged version 0.2.0 of OLS, my experimental local #location server. It's a bit over-configurable and under-documented, but may be of interest to technical users who want to play with location services on Linux. Get it from #Codeberg.

got the second #robocall of my life today. This did not used to be a thing in Portugal.
Time to install #PhoshAntispam by @kop316
I hate that I will need to use it. Because it is a symptom of things getting shittier with autonomated calls in PT.
But I am glad that #PhoshAntispam exists.
Thanks for making it @kop316
For example, you can now “purchase” human blood and organs, someone to have your baby or stand in line for you or hold a public parking space, a person to comfort you in your grief, and the right to kill an endangered animal. The list grows longer each day

Just released #flohmarkt 0.6.1~ynh1 for #yunohost. There are many new features - thanks for the impressing developments of the last two month to @grindhold@23.social and @midzer@chaos.social and all the other contributors!
- instance name is shown as page title of browsers
- visually reworked item page
- most tabs now feature icons
- visually reworked item tags
- sticky menu
- search Users in Admin View
- most used tags are now shown as clickable buttons on the front page.
- user settings dialog is now split into tabs "Profile" and "Account". "Profile" is for the public-facing unproblematic stuff and "Account" contains the more dangerous actions like "delete account" and "change email" e.t.c
- item authors may now change the order of the uploaded images
- new couchdb database view in this release: yunohost upgrade will run initialize_couchdb.py automatically for you

#flohmarkt community is celebrating remotely their next release tonight @ 19 CET.
Let's grab a beer together, have fun and talk about everything #fediverse related.
Chris Vogel shared 7 months ago#flohmarkt needs an #accessibility review to leave beta phase.
Is there someone in the #fediverse who can help on #a11y?
Boosts 
Chris Vogel shared 7 months ago#flohmarkt 0.4.0 has been released.
it's primarily a bugfixing release and some nice visual improvements.
the most impactful thing is probably the fact that authorized_fetch now works with #mastodon
see the full changelog at https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/releases/tag/0.4.0
thanks to @bignose @Tealk @midzer and all the various translators for their contributions :)
Just found an old #sdcard of my former #android phone. It is formated - I guess - as #adoptable storage. I remembered that there might be an interesting picture on it.
I do not know whether the Sony Z1 I used that time does still work, but I'll try to recover it with this knowledge I wrote down 5 years ago: https://xdaforums.com/t/howto-replace-device-and-keep-sdcard-with-adoptable-storage.3913789/post-79200875 .
Chris Vogel shared 8 months ago#flohmarkt news: today i've merged a big PR from bignose who wrote codeberg actions for automatically correcting common whitespace- and other format errors.
@midzer continued working on refining the item page design.
thanks to @neil we can welcome four new #uk instances into the community, two of whom want to be publically listed and most of whom federate already with each other: https://fleamarket.neilzone.co.uk https://flohmarkt.modern-industry.com/
as always: find flohmarkt at: https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt

This is not a trick, this is a treat! We are thrilled to release 
* Support for Debian 12/Bookworm
* A reworked SSO system and user portal, with app logos and customization (there's a halloween theme! 🎃🦇)
* Improvements on the webadmin UX, e.g. you can add subdomains on the fly when installing apps
* A more lightweight base system
* ... and more sweets! 🍬
➡️ We strongly recommend to carefully read the release note before upgrading: https://forum.yunohost.org/t/31673
Just ordered a yellow Casio watch for the Sensor Watch Pro I'm waiting for.
When I'll replace the original casio electronics with the #SensorWatch I'll have the original electronics left over. Wonder whether there's a model to print a watch case for the electronics somewhere out there...
The already visible trend, as we shall see in the coming chapters, is that any actor with an interest in purchasing probabilistic information about our behavior and/or influencing future behavior can pay to play in markets where the behavioral fortunes of individuals, groups, bodies, and things are told and sold
