Today's goated open source developer: Michael Sweet (from Sudbury, Ontario 🇨🇦) - Created the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) in 1999, code used by Apple (bought a license in 2002) and Linux to this day! - 2007: Apple purchased the CUPS project, acquihiring Michael to work on the printing stack across macOS and iOS. (As far as I can tell, Apple stopped maintaining/releasing public updates at some point.) - 2020: Left Apple to work on a more open community fork of CUPS under the org OpenPrinting (actively developed, last commit 5 hours ago) - Today, he operates a family-run robotics and 2d/3d printing company with his wife in Sudbury. - Also made lots of other cool tools and libraries, like htmldoc (website -> epub), AirPrint, Internet Printing Protocol, and more.

It allows you to obtain general information about binary files , examine their structures (sections , segments , symbols , etc. ) , and track system calls and program execution . The tool includes functions for extracting strings , analyzing linked libraries , viewing file contents as a hexdump , which makes it a powerful and convenient solution for analysis in the terminal interface . https://github.com/orhun/binsider

Helping a friend install Linux and the Fedora installer asks so many "hard" questions like enabling/disbaling root and doesn't guide you step by step but shows all configure disks, users, keyboard, locale in one screen Crazy how a good installer/onboarding with defaults setup and maybe an option to go advanced and then go through every step for power users would likely enable way more linux adoption. No wonder Youtubers etc push for PopOS since that's its purpose. Reminds me of how fragmented the Farcaster ecosystem feels when one needs 3-5 different clients for basic functionality that most social networks offer in one app max 2

First they open source it. Then they "Business License" it. Then we forked it. Then we win. Then they close source it. Then... they open source it again? https://www.elastic.co/blog/elasticsearch-is-open-source-again

Clone it, make it, run it, crash it. Fork it, code it, quick, rewrite it. Push it, rage it, hate, disown it. Open sourcing. Open sourcing.

On the path of moving more to Open Source LibreOffice has stuck. Now on to Thunderbird for Mail. Thunderbird and LibreOffice also should play nicely with Nextcloud so I can set that integration up eventually for live collab on documents and mails + calendar in the NextCloud. We already have NextCloud in use for all cloud file storage.
