I’m the maintainer of Flux, an open-source download manager. Its own code is under the MIT license; the repository contains the Rust core/native browser host, React/Tauri desktop interface and browser companion. Dependencies retain their respective licenses.

Flux manages ordinary file transfers, accessible video/audio and torrents in a local desktop queue. It has scheduling, speed limits, source-supported resume, light/dark appearance and 20 interface languages. The published packages are Windows x64 installer/portable ZIP and a Linux x86_64 RPM tested on Fedora 43.

The Chrome/Firefox companion sends selected links and detected media to the desktop app through Native Messaging. It requires the separate desktop application and local bridge. Firefox GitHub packages currently use temporary/developer loading. The Chrome companion is available in the Web Store.

Source and packages: https://github.com/Hactor00/Flux

Project website and setup: https://fluxdownload.org

Chrome companion: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/flux-download-manager/okimieponfbegjhmfdnnefnddofooipk

There is no Flux account, subscription or paid tier. These are current 2.5 interface previews, with sample media in the extension image. Sharing as the developer for people looking for a free-software download manager.

Some social networks, such as Twitter, have a policy that restricts use of their members' posts. This means that if a new social network was to spring up, it wouldn't be able to make use of this data, e.g by displaying it with a better user interface. This is anti-competitive because network effects work against a new startup.

One solution might be a new network (or better still a group of them) which licence all their users' data under a CC license such as BY-SA 4.0.

Would this Work? Has anything like it been tried?

I have been having this idea for a while, but I do not have the technical skills to do it, so I will be sharing it with you all, to see if it could be a good idea, and if someone would be interested in it.

Idea:

Nowadays we rely on closed source / owned by other servers, but technology and storage space has become cheaper, and having a server in your home is easy.

Also, many apps store info about you, and upload all this info to servers that are not owned by you.

But maybe this could change, with a full ecosystem of apps and a server, everyone could host a server, and have all the data that apps/phone/PC generates about himself to be sent to your own server.

Want to have a fitness tracker? No problem, all your fitness data is stored in your own server. Want have all your files in the cloud? No problem, you own the server after all.

Would this be possible to achieve? Would you think this would be an interesting project?

Thanks and feel free to PM Me if you wish.

Hello! I am kind of a newbie around the libre culture and I was wondering if something like a libre blogging platform exists. If it's something that has already been discussed, sorry, but I can't seem to find anything about this. Thanks in advance for your kind answers!

The vision of our Open Siddur Project​ is to make publishing siddurim (Jewish prayer books) available to anyone with the interest and ambition to do-it-themselves or even collaborate with others. This is our dream!

It's never been enough for us to share Jewish liturgy and liturgy-related work in posts on opensiddur.org. We need to make web-to-print publishing of siddurim a reality, and so we've been working on a web application that presents a collaborative space for transcribing, encoding, and editing texts. Since no one else has ever done this open-source, we've been working from scratch, and since to date, we've only had one programmer working on realizing this dream, it's taken a long time.

Efraim Feinstein has been leading this effort. A few hours ago he announced a small but important development. It allows texts to be marked up -- with taxonomic, semantic, and attributional data recorded -- and added to the Open Siddur database by users without having to see any XML -- the markup language we use to preserve this data.

We still have a ways to go but we want to highlight this effort and this achievement, and call upon the community of Jewish software developers to join us or pitch in.
