If you are upgrading to Fenrir: https://git.stormux.org/storm/fenrir version 2025.04.28, be sure to edit your /etc/fenrirscreenreader/settings/settings.conf file and change all occurrences of suspendingscreen to ignorescreen.
Without this change, Fenrir will no longer suspend itself in your graphical session and may cause conflicts with your desktop screen reader.
100 Mastodon myths:
1. Mastodon is hard.
FALSE. It’s a "soft"ware. Not hardware.
2. You have to use Linux to post on Mastodon.
FALSE. FreeBSD and OpenBSD are also supported.
3. You need to learn to use the Vim editor before posting on Mastodon.
FALSE. There’s also an emacs plugin.
4. Mastodon is only for computer nerds.
FALSE. As you can see, we sometimes try to make jokes that everyone could understand.

#Help with my #morse trainer script needed while porting it to #mac OS: The pauses between the single tones are to long when using it on Mac. Dunno if its the Audio or the pause function which causes the delay. Can one see and tell me what to do? Retoot appreciated. https://github.com/do9re/morse_trainer
@patricus I'm definitely not political. I have better things to do with my time. :) Also, I host my own instance, so I make the rules. If some other instance defedirates me for that, good riddance to bad rubbish I say. But yeah, music, coding, helping people with their projects, all much better uses of time and energy.

@tschapajew It's a more modern way of writing the shabang line. I discovered it when trying to make audiogame-manager Mac compatible. I was trying to figure out why, even though I was using:
#!/usr/bin/bashIt was calling the old version even though people were installing a later version with homebrew. After some research, I found out tht using:
#!/usr/bin/env interpreterIs more reliable. Of course, if you're only worried about Linux, which usually has an up to date bash, then:
#!/bin/bashworks just fine. I just got into the habbit of using env from that experience. I tend to use it for all shabangs now, python3, perl, bash etc.
@tschapajew You don't need to run the script manually. Just do your normal git work flow, when you push, the hook will run and it will post the commit assuming everything is set up correctly.
@tschapajew I think, it has been a while since I set it up so I could be wrong, but if it doesn't detect a DISPLAY it will give you a link you can paste in manually.
@tschapajew clone the repository, then simlink the pre-push wherever you want it. Example:
git clone https://git.stormux.org/storm/git-hooks
cd ProjectYouWantToPost/.git/hooks
ln -s path/to/git-hooks/pre-push-fediverse pre-push
Be sure to install and configure toot. it's a command line Mastodon client that also works with Pleroma. It is what handles actually posting to your timeline.
