rant christian kindergartens bavaria
Explained to my 4-year-old daughter how electricity works. I asked her the name of the "+" symbol on the battery. Her answer: "That's where they hung Jesus." Unfortunately there are only christian kindergartens in Bavaria but it makes me really angry that this is what they teach them. They think of torture and murder instead of math when they see a "+" symbol and I should not have to spend the time and effort of trying to counteract what they teach...
I'm currently updating the images and repository on
reform.debian.net

Inofficial Debian 13 (Trixie) MNT Reform disk images and apt repository -- bit-by-bit reproducible and cryptographically signed
 for the upcoming Debian Trixie release. Thanks to the insane generosity of @npub1flke...k4at I can now test this on a RK3588 @minute MNT Pocket Reform myself. And you know what? It just works. Out of the box. This platform has truly come a long way. It feels very mature and I believe it is a device that I can truly recommend to fellow GNU/Linux users. This not just a machine to tinker. This is a reliable daily driver. image
Dear fediparents, can you recommend a device for children to entertain themselves with audio/music it plays? Anything with a closed-source ecosystem based on DRM or tracking is a no-go. In search for a solution I stumbled across

hörbert - mp3 Player for children
Sustainable, repairable, open MP3 player and recorder made of wood. Handmade in Germany. With WiFi, Bluetooth and microphone
 which seems to tick all my boxes except that it's not open hardware and its ESP32 firmware is propr. as well. But they publish schematics as CC-BY and sell DIY kits. The Qt client is GPL on github and supports linux. Other ideas? Boosts welcome!
I know I'm late, but only recently I read
Open Letter to Gitea
The Gitea Community is asking Gitea Owners to correct conflicts of interest and restore Community Trust.

 and today I finally migrated my gitea instance at gitlab.mister-muffin.de (the subdomain name tells you where I'm coming from) to #Forgejo. Luckily my gitea installation was still at v1.21 and thus migrating from gitea to forgejo was as simple as switching out the gitea binary for the forgejo binary. It was literally only that. Thank you @npub12r32...zz58!
Debian is providing funding for an MNT Reform with RK3588 so that I can improve Debian support on that platform and can provide long term stable support for it for Trixie and beyond. Thank you for this opportunity! For full transparency, my funding request for Debian sponsorship can be found as PDF here: 📄.pdf Or here in HTML form:
