Organic Maps, a free offline maps app, faced a setback when contributor Alexandr Borsuk removed the MIT license, privatizing the repository and undermining open-source collaboration and the project's no-tracking values. A subsequent change enabled logging, further compromising privacy, all without discussion with other contributors.

I would like to introduce you lovely OpenSource Lovers to a GIT-Alternative called FOSSIL that I also stumbled upon because of this Blog. It's basically opensource Github-in-a-box which means it's an SCM with:

  • Bug-tracker
  • Ticketting-system
  • Forum
  • Wiki-system
  • even a Chat-functionality
  • Has built-in GUI
  • Also has a Web-Server
  • Self-Hostable like Gitea/Forgejo

& the best part it's all in ONE STANDALONE FILE!!! which is extremely lightweight which you can copy to your $PATH & works even in crappy internet. how cool is that!!

However this tool supports a completely different style of development in FOSS called the "Cathedral-Style" whereas GIT suports a "Bazaar-Style" The person behind Fossil is the creator of SQLite, Dr.Richard Hipp & they even made other projects to support Fossil like a PIC-Like language called PikChr Well just in case; here's a list of difference between Git vs Fossil & guess what!! they even have a hosting service called CHISEL

Listen; Just check it out & use it for fun in your spare time even with the flaws it has (& Try out Darcs & Pijul as well)

"The reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenance. The app saw no significant development for a long time and without Play releases I do no longer see enough benefit and/or have enough motivation to keep up the ongoing maintenance an app requires even without doing much, if any, changes."

Preferably Android apps available through F-Droid, but feel free to recommend iOS apps, too!

On iOS, I really like Sky Guide—I don't think it's open source, but it has the right features for the casual star gazer like myself, specifically the ability to point my phone at an object (i.e., "what's that object up there") and/or search by name ("where's Jupiter right now"). After my transition to Android, I've found Sky Map, which has good feature parity with Sky Guide.

Any other open source apps like Sky Map that I haven't found yet?

Hi everyone! 😀

Found cool program that you can use to backup\save important file like pgp key, mnemonic and much more (up to 1.9 KiB) in encrypted QR-code and store\share it on a paper

It works only from CLI, but wish to ask, and hope to find someone who can help:

  • To make Small GUI and multiplatform release, for example AppImage, Deb, Flatpak or probably one page HTML version? So users can visually works with it not only from CLI

  • Later add release of .apk file for Android to generate\scan protected QR's and decrypt them?

I could help with translations on other languages ;)

Thanks! ✌️

Hey people! I was wondering if anyone here has heard of/ used Morena's /e/OS and would be willing to share some opinions?

I was looking to get a FairPhone 5 sometime soon anyways and randomly came across the option to get it "without Google"

Which took me a bit off guard because I never really considered that something like that could be an option (without the hassle of rooting a phone and slapping a custom OS on it). So - is it any good? It says that you can still install most regular Android Apps. I don't think I would miss any specific Google features, and getting a fresh start with a phone does sound nice.

Hey! ✌️

Open up for myself and want to share it with everyone this cool program to create LAN over Internet (P2P) -> https://gitlab.com/Monsterovich/lanemu/

I had success to create\join room but not chat, not ping ain't works for me

Does anybody had try it or could try? Maybe there's something blocking over NAT settings, don't know... I also don't get how it works over Torrent\DHT connection 🥲

Maybe any alternatives? I know Tailscale and NetBird, but maybe there's some more?

Thanks 😀👍

Well i just got hooked on my CD collection, and want to register the CDs I have, to have a ordered view of my collection, and to search after titles. I like how discogs looks, and works with scanning the barcode. But is there for android or Linux an app or web place that's an alternative to discogs?
