Dear Linux Developers,

For the love of whatever god, gods, or nothingness you believe in, stop making all your UI's grey text on grey backgrounds separated by grey lines. Please give me some contrast: blacks, whites, actual colours.

Thank you.

Parmo 0.1.2 is released today: ivarch.com/programs/parmo.shtm

This release adds an option to generate an information file about an already-built package, and updates the documentation to include specific examples of how to configure "apt" or "yum" to use a repository that has been built with parmo.

Parmo, the package and repository maintenance operator, is a tool to build software from source, turn it into native operating system packages, and manage repositories of those packages.

Use parmo to build internal repositories of local software, for example packaging the software used by your organisation for quick deployment using standard commands like “apt install” and “dnf update”.

Using Docker or Podman, parmo can automatically maintain containers to build packages for multiple operating systems on a single host. Alternatively, it can run in native mode without containers, supporting only the operating system it is running on.

Parmo uses the resources of the Codeberg platform - codeberg.org - for free software development.

I guess you always wanted to read an article about dental flossing.... in France.

“I get questions every now and then, like, ‘What the hell is this stuff?’” Suaudeau says. There isn’t even a word for flossing in French, he adds. Or if there is, he doesn’t know it. “I should because I’m a teacher.”

Interesting read...🦷 🪥

Scheduled Command Wrapper 0.2.0 is released today - ivarch.com/programs/scw.shtml

This release adds settings for the sender and subject line of reports sent by email, a setting to force a minimum interval between runs, and control over the strategy used to receive command output streams. The receiver strategy adjustments allow SCW to run on more operating systems such as FreeBSD, GNU Hurd, and macOS Sonoma, and they correct a fault when running under SELinux in enforcing mode.

SCW extends scheduled commands to add concurrency locking, prerequisites, dependency checks, conflict avoidance, randomised startup delays, flexible logging, and monitoring metrics.

There are no complex dependencies - all you need to run SCW is a scheduler such as cron.

If you have ever had to manage cron jobs that write logs with no timestamps, or can't tell whether a job succeeded or failed, SCW can help with that and with many more scheduler challenges.

SCW uses the resources of the Codeberg platform - codeberg.org/ - for free software development.

I wonder how popular non-open software with good track record (as in no enshittification) on this part of the internet is.

So do you use Teamspeak?
