My #FOSSFriday for this week is Nebula (https://nebula.defined.net/docs/). Nebula is a similar technology to Tailscale that came out of Slack and I came across first. If you have never used either and you have anything #selfhosted or running in different places then have a look! Nebula lets you set up an overlay network that lets you largely ignore NAT and firewalls and treat everything like a simple flat LAN, but with security groups etc. Great for accessing e.g. your server at home from your phone.
My #FOSSFriday for this week is Jellyfin (https://jellyfin.org/). Jellyfin is a brilliant, Free and open source media system that lets you self-host all of your media and access it with apps for the web, phones and smart TVs. I used a home theatre PC attached to the TV running MythTV for nearly a decade (starting back when TV was still analogue and needed encoding), but the convenience of having access from everywhere and properly integrated into the smart TV has been great.
I'm going to try something new and share one of my favourite pieces of Free and open source (FOSS) software each Friday (#FOSSFriday). I'll start with Syncthing (https://syncthing.net/). I've been using Syncthing for years now to share folders securely between all my devices, enabling all sorts of use cases:
- a decentralised Dropbox
- backing up photos on my phone
- getting everything from all sorts of places back to my NAS; and
- keeping a laptop in sync with my desktop.
Give it a try!
Happy #FossFriday! Here's a look at the lower half of the back leg of the #Barosaurus being worked on at the Museum of Ancient Life. Over 60% of the animal is preserved, including beautiful vertebrae. I'll be visiting it again next weekend!

My work has just open sourced a recent project of mine: {tdcstyle}
A data.table styler that extends {styler}’s tidyverse_style.
It's #FOSSFriday y'all, time to launch a new #foss side project!
You will all be the judge of how useful this is gonna be. And if it will survive 😅
It's called "Social Media Disclaimer Links". When in an increasingly-heated online discussion (that never happens…), just link to a disclaimer instead of wasting characters to explain it's just your opinion, you respect the other's view, that sort of stuff… repo on @codeberg
