It is. Left TT-RSS years ago. For personal use I always chose SQLite (or flat file, such as DokuWiki) compatible software.


Chicago95 for those who run XFCE and just want the best of the looks...

That's one of the best-looking Windows 95 themes for Linux I've seen. I like that they made the deviations from the actual 95 layout feel at home.


Wow, super impressive. May have to set this up on my dualboot!



I don't find that it slows down FF. How long ago did you try TST?


I re-open it every month or so, and it didn't really change.

I can't notice it when I have 10-100 tabs open. It's unbearable when I have 1000 (which happens more often than I would like to admit).

It should be noted, though, that my web browsing machine is an early 2013 MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM; It's possible I wouldn't have noticed on a faster machine.


Well, your browser without TST is going to handle 1000 no better, so it's not really about TST.

For example, there are many solutions to auto-suspend old tabs so they unload from memory.


On the same hardware, the same browser with TST disabled (and no auto-suspend) easily handles 1,000 open tabs - slightly slower than it handles 100, but barely noticeable. With TST it is unbearably slow.


Just fill that field with crap. Not required to get the files sent.


"We" as in "the people who knows how to use the command line". Unfortunately very few of the people I send files to knows that.

There's https://webwormhole.io/ and https://file.pizza/ , but can I know what they really do behind the scenes? Native open-source software for this would be a dream come true. It's 2020 and I still wrestle with sending files between devices. And no, don't take this as a wish for creating just another service. :)


File.pizza is great! It uses WebTorrent[1] to seed files right in the browser. The downside to this is, you have to have your browser open the whole time you're sending the file, as it's direct peer-to-peer. Firefox Send was an "upload it, get the link, and they can download later" kind of service.

I've started a UI for magic wormhole:

https://github.com/sneakypete81/wormhole-ui

It's GPL, cross-platform, native (Qt) and uses the same Python library as the Magic Wormhole CLI.


I've tested it on my own devices and it installed and worked without a hitch. Thanks.


That's fantastic! I was about to add a request for just that in my above comment, but forgot. Keep at it!


> There's https://webwormhole.io/ and https://file.pizza/ , but can I know what they really do behind the scenes?

Also they're not very reliable. I tried to use both of those a couple weeks ago and it just didn't work. File.pizza crashed during initialization on a large file from a friend, and they both failed when I was trying to send a file that was only about 3GB.


My experience was similar: File.pizza didn't work. However, https://justbeamit.com/ worked flawlessly.


Couldn't someone pretty easily write a native GUI or browser app that wraps Magic Womrhole?


If you're just sending files between devices that you own, KDE Connect [1] is cross-platform and works pretty well.

webwormhole does everything on the client via RTC IIRC? https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole


Looks neat. I guess one could send an SHA-512 or something through a different channel like email or sms to at least mitigate partially MITM attacks. Obviously encrypting the files before hand. Seems like it needs another layer on top :) . NAT transversal is sweet though via webrtc


I've used File Pizza to share files with friends, but it feels like the upload speed is being bottlenecked by something that isn't my ISP (I have synchronous upload) - is there an inherent speed issue with using WebRTC for this?


I've been using webwormhole a lot to get photos from my iPhone to my Linux box. Works great!


Very good timing, six days (23/9) before the European Web Accessibility directive becomes effective for older websites. :)

For those outside Europe: websites of public sector bodies will have to meet WCAG 2.1 AA.


Eh, and I almost lost my breath when I thought my favorite open-source synth[1] was being discontinued.

Is it actually under active development? Are pull requests getting reviewed and merged?


Inefficiency of meat and dairy production and land use were major arguments for switching to a vegan diet (when I did so) 20 years ago.

Others have chimed in with data, so here's today's anecdotal evidence: today I'm surrounded by fields and farmland. Fields make up roughly 60% of land. 20% of this land houses cattle and 80% grows barley which no human will ever consume. It's only grown for the cattle

I think it comes as no surprise that less land could produce more food for humans if the crops didn't have to pass through the cattle.

Some farmers not far from here are growing quinoa. It has a very good nutritional profile and offers a more effective use of land.
