Thanks for the example and explanations Simon!
vanous··on SQLite Schema Diagram Generator
My opinion will probably not be popular, but by making the mirror you are helping with creating this monopoly.

I see the solution in creating small single/few page(s) landing site and linking to the code and releases, being it to self/hosted Gitea, Forgejo, Gitlab, GitHub...

vanous··on BlenderBIM – add-on for beautiful, detailed, and data-rich OpenBIM with Blender
Correct, thanks, didn't realize it's better to mention. This is an open source project.
vanous··on BlenderBIM – add-on for beautiful, detailed, and data-rich OpenBIM with Blender
This looks interesting! It might be a great companion for the BlenderDMX addon [1].

vanous··on Show HN: dockerc – Docker image to static executable "compiler"
I stand corrected, yes, you need run-singularity to be installed to execute the image, i completely forgotten.
vanous··on Show HN: dockerc – Docker image to static executable "compiler"
Singularity absolutely produces standalone executables, been building tools this way for years.
vanous··on Stract: Open-souce, non-profit search engine
Congrats!

I tried to search for a particular domain data but neither search nor the explore would have the domain listed. What's the process to get unlisted domains indexed?

vanous··on Wear OS's most consistent OEM quits: Fossil stops making smartwatches
For the Hybrids, get your secret key while the servers are still up, without it, it's a paperweight.

vanous··on Fossify – Open-source fork of Simple Mobile Tools
That's the problem. On Fdroid, the repository maintainers block any further updates but on Play Store if the Google team behind it can and would do such a thing.
vanous··on Fossify – Open-source fork of Simple Mobile Tools
Fdroid already blocked possible updates for the original apps.
vanous··on Fossify – Open-source fork of Simple Mobile Tools
Yes. The positive is that the code is left behind. I am sympathetic with (and sorry for) those who will not learn fast enough about the acquisition and will have their private data sucked out. That's why I posted it here, after I learned about it only today.

There's now liberated version of the SMT gallery up in Fdroid. I already switched Calendar, Gallery and File Manager.
vanous··on Fossify – Open-source fork of Simple Mobile Tools
There are so many file managers:), but not enough quality, functioning dialers and messaging apps. Many "simple" ones exist with lack of essential features. Even SMT lacks some essentials, like for example to be able to reply with a message to a call (when busy).
vanous··on Fossify – Open-source fork of Simple Mobile Tools
Automatic switch is not possible due to different signatures, which is in fact a good thing. If the Fossify project keeps it running, contribution of your students is not lost at all.
vanous··on Fossify – Open-source fork of Simple Mobile Tools
Yes! The Phone app seems to have been released today. I am just an ordinary user, no affiliation with the project. I used pretty much all the SMT apps, so now I am slowly migrating to these new alternatives as they come out. I just hope that the project is based on better foundation and on a community, rather than an individual.

After Simple Mobile Tools have been lost to an adware company [1], the FossifyOrg forked and modified apps started slowly coming via Fdroid.

vanous··on Show HN: Material Files – Open Source Material Design File Manager for Android
I have the same issues. Use Total Commander, it can still access these folders.
vanous··on Conditional Git Configuration
Can different .git-credentials files also be loaded conditionally? When one uses https access with multiple accounts....

Seems very cool and also supports importing devices from GDTF!

vanous··on From 486 to Vue.js: Evan You's Full-Time Gamble on Open Source
Wow, awesome story,thank you for sharing it. When it came out, I had to talk about it with friends, it was fascinating. Good luck with your carrier!
vanous··on From 486 to Vue.js: Evan You's Full-Time Gamble on Open Source
I love the story style of Adam's podcasts and I always wanted to know how is it done... Is it first recorded as an interview and then cut and interwoven with the narrative parts? There don't seem to be too many obvious questions asked... Probably a lot of room is given for the guest to just speak up?
vanous··on Nostalgy++ shortcuts manager to move/copy/archive messages in Thunderbird
This add-on is indispensable for fast, keyboard based navigation and message management in Thunderbird.

It allows to copy or move messages with a single keyboard shortcut - for example "m", which opens list of folders, then type (part of) the name of target folder and press Enter. Pressing "M" will move another message to the same folder. "g" takes you to a folder and "G" goes to previously selected folder. You can customize the shortcut letters.

The list of folders pops-up fast, which is important (there are other add-ons providing similar functionality but there is a noticeable lag between key-press and the folder list appearing).

Recently it has been updated to TB 115. Hope you will like it like i do, enjoy!

vanous··on New Outlook is good, both for yourself and 766 third parties
One reason is good extension support, for example for fast keyboard navigation and mail moving in TB...

Unfortunately, the documentation site is down. Is there a mirror of https://docs.blender.org/ anywhere?
vanous··on Common-knowledge effect: A bias in team decision making
>It's not that the other people have incomplete knowledge, it is that they disregard it.

From the article:

"If each team member is provided with all project statements, then the team can match the decision-making effectiveness of an individual (which is about 80%)."

So depending on who got which portion of which information is the critical part here, bringing communication and social skills into it. Human skills are then much more important then pure technical knowledge. This seems to be the truth in other settings as well.

vanous··on Reorient GitHub pull requests around changesets
I understand that you have to sell, but could you please do it somewhere else or take some decency and not to have your team to plug on every other comment here? Thank you!
