At first, I wasn't going to mention snow crash, since it doesn't have much to do with it, but I made the mention to make room for stories that don't have much to do with free software, but have things that can be related to philosophy, an example of this could be right to read, of course, ignoring the author's notes

I am looking for works about free software or based on this philosophy, there are books like "Free software for a free society" and documentaries like "Linux code", but I would like to know what other works there are related to free software and this philosophy, there are things like snow crash, which talks about the decentralization of the internet from a fictional and futuristic story, these types of works are also valid.

I'm looking for alternatives to wii backup manager, what do you recommend?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

It looks pretty good. I remember another distribution called kaspersky rescue disk, but it was mostly focused on malware analysis and removal, but it seems that it was discontinued

Within the GNU/Linux ecosystem there are all kinds of tools to diagnose the system, or rather, to check the state of the hardware, but there are few distributions specifically designed to perform this task, or at least that I know of, because the only distribution I know that is intended to diagnose the computer, (Or ​​at least one of the components), is memtest86+, so I would like to know what other distributions exist in addition to the one mentioned above

What are the differences between tlp and acpitool?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Sometimes I forget to connect the charger to the laptop, and it discharges without realizing it. When I used xfce power manager, it warned me when the charger was disconnected, can tlp or acpitool send those types of notifications?

I've been using i3 for a while now, but the xfce power manager doesn't work outside the desktop environment, is there any alternative you can recommend? It doesn't matter if it is a terminal based or graphical interface program, I just need something that can suspend the computer after a certain time or lock it when the laptop is closed

Window size (lemmy.ml)
submitted 4 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

When firefox is not in a maximized window, the resolution of the window is very small, and changing the resolution by hand all the time is annoying, so I want to give it a fixed size. How can I do this?

Ok, thanks for the clarification, I needed it, now with everything clarified, I can make a description of the directory. There are 3 types of folders, images to show the fonts in images, fonts for the ttf and otf binaries and finally sources for the sfd files, which would be the source code of the fonts, outside those 3 folders, there would be Makefile, README and the license. Thanks for the help, now you can make the directory in an organized way

This font was made with glyphr. In a conventional program (Let's say that this program is made in C), for it to be considered open source, the c file that contains the code has to be distributed, outside of that, there is the compilation file and additionally a README, in fonts it is different, the majority use a different programming language from one to the other to create the typography, and the only way I see that a font made in fontforge can be considered open source is for it to be shared the sfd file that fontforge generates when saving the font, this file is editable in a code editor, not like other files such as otf or ttf, which are directly binary

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

The thing is, could an otf or ttf file be considered a file suitable for the free modification and redistribution of a font? That's the question I have, because for me, sharing any of those file formats is not enough for a font to be considered open source, especially since those two files are binary. Would I have to share the sfd file that fontforge generates so that the font can be open source? Because that file is editable through a code editor

Hello, for a few days I have been looking at how to make a git repository to store a free font so that everyone can use it, modify it and redistribute it, the thing is that many have different ways of distributing the source code, and it is not very clear how. Do it in a way that is similar to an open source program. The typography is being made with fontforge, what would be the most optimal way to distribute this font to make it open source?

I took several photos of a drawing that a friend had made, but the quality of the photos is not very good, so I need software that can produce enhanced images by combining a stack of images of the same scene that were taken during a short period of time.

Apparently it can be done with mplayer, I haven't tried it yet, but later I'll see if it works, and if so, I'll stick with that option

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Because it's fun

I'm looking for something more universal, that works in any DE or WM and that doesn't necessarily have to depend on kde plasma

How is this different from DXVK?

I am looking for programs to put animated wallpapers on Linux, the ones I know for now are: Xwinwrap, paperview and komorebi. If you know of another program that can do this, leave it in the comments so that others can read it and give their opinion about the program.
