[Archive — 2015] J'aime le logiciel libre
La Saint Valentin, c'est aussi le jour où on met nos trolls de côté pour dire haut et fort à toutes les personnes qui contribuent au logiciel libre : merci, on vous aime !

"Thanks you all #OpenSoftware Developers, who build all of these wonderful essential basic Infrastructure of our daily life - #strengthing our #independence of vendor lock-in jails in these times of raising #tradewars."
Today is "I Love Free Software Day".
A massive, heartfelt thank you to each of you who spends time writing, maintaining, documenting, or supporting Free software.
I am genuinely amazed by just how much one can do with Free software:

I was admiring some lovely graphs of energy use and thinking how awesome Home Assistant is today.
I first installed it to track moisture/temperature/temperature from some plant sensors, but the next thing I know I'm making a mostly non-cloud smart home.
I love how it's a real community of people just doing whatever little (or big) thing they want; learning and sharing and making and having fun.
It's been a few weeks since I mentioned some free software that I like. Here I go again!
I spent a bit of time today configuring WireGuard on various hosts. It's a way to set up an encrypted tunnel (VPN) between hosts that can send UDP packets to each other. It's pretty straightforward, and works really well.
I'm sure there are plenty of use cases where it isn't the best solution... luckily I don't have any of those! 
@bagder Public appreciation for Free Software is such a rare thing. I am glad you received it at least once. Too few people realize that #curl practically runs the Internet – much like Apache & nginx, but on the client side.
There should be more #ILoveFreeSoftware days, medals, and other forms of appreciation.
The past two weeks I called out popular and widely-used software. This week I'm going the opposite, and mentioning something really niche.
I was looking to print some QR codes and found the lprint software:
https://www.msweet.org/lprint/index.html
It supports label printers, and includes a CLI tool as well as presenting them as normal printers to the OS. I was able to get a cheap, used label printer and use it on Linux.
It seems to be a one-person project, nicely done.
I've decided that it would be nice to call out the wonderful software that I use all the time. So maybe one post each Friday?
I'll start with rsync!
It's an efficient way to synchronize files over a network (or even locally).
It's 28 years old, and I use it all the time. For a long time I even used it for incremental backups.
Getting names right is a bit tricky ("/" or not matters), and you need to use SSH or the like for encryption, but what an amazing tool.
Today is the "#ILoveFreeSoftware" day. 
I work with #FreeSoftware basically every day. 
Free Software isn't just software, but a liberation movement. It challenges the notion that when you use software, that justifies that a faceless authority gets to control your computing or punish you for sharing. I say NO to that; but yes to #freedom! 
I am thankful and proud to be part of this amazing free software #community. 
Let's keep improving society, one commit at a time! 
It's #ILoveFreeSoftware Day!
Celebrate with us and say thank you to these awesome #opensource projects:
#Mithril #SystemJS #Flow #Babel #DOMPurify
And many, many more! https://tuta.com/blog/posts/love-free-software-day
Tag für Tag nutzen wir Freie Software. Anlässlich des diesjährigen „I Free Software Day“ möchten wir erneut die Arbeit der meist ehrenamtlichen Entwickler.innen hervorheben und stellen unsere liebste Freie und Open-Source-Software vor.

I just discovered the 'mix deps.tree' command to display in a nice way the dependencies of an #Elixir project. It can show you how many free software projects you depend on. #IloveFreeSoftware
And together with #Graphviz, it's nicer

Mit PDF-Dokumenten hat jeder von uns ständig zu tun - cool dass es #freieSoftware gibt, die uns den Umgang damit erleichtert!
PDF Arranger ist ein Programm zum Sortieren und Drehen von Seiten in PDFs und zum Einfügen anderer PDF-Dokumente.
PDFposter vergrößert ein PDF und verlegt es dann zum Drucken auf mehrere Blätter. Ideal, um ein A2-Plaket zu erstellen, wenn man „nur“ einen A4-Drucker hat.
Zwei kleine Helferlein, die ich einfach immer wieder brauche.
