Might be handled and freshly archived on https://archive.org/ if I understand this Message from Jason Scott correctly.

But this should not stop anyone from mirroring the Hobbes OS/2 Archive, too.

Many thanks OP for starting this thread and also big thank you to all suggesting Mull and Mulch. I was not aware of those apps and will try out both of them.

Here are some links to start from:

• DivestOS website with information about their apps: https://divestos.org/pages/our_apps
• Mull directly from F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/
• Mulch only from DivestOS F-Droid Repo: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/us.spotco.mulch/ - must enable repo first!

I really liked the Bromite browser on my mobiles, but unfortunately it did not get (security) updates for a longer time. From the many discussions in the Issue tracker asking about status of the project, I could not get a clear clue about the situation, but fact is that the last Bromite release is from Dec 2022.

From here Bromite is Dead, Use Cromite Instead I learned about and tried to switch to Cromite, but on my 32-bit Android devices it is still very unstable.

Thank you for your detailed explanation and the wiki link 🙂. Good to hear that this (side-) topic is on the agenda.

As mentioned, I really appreciate your work around education and awareness of FOSS principles and chances
and I wish you a nice (remaining) Software Freedom Day.

Looks like a really nice and useful initiative.

Do you mean that the filesystem itself had optimization so that searching from the command line (find, grep) was fast?

Or do you think more into the direction of the desktop apps Finder and Librarian?

At least I remember the Librarian.app was great for indexing and quickly searching through large amount of texts (from various formats).

Thanks alot for the details.

Very interesting, I did not know that the Mac SE/30 and the (cheapest) NeXTstation had comparable prices.

What I knew (for here in Germany) was that PCs were expensive (compared to today), but much cheaper than the Macs and NeXTs.

If you want to play around with NeXTstep or OpenStep today, I can recommend the following starting points and tools:

• NeXT Computers forum and its download section
• Previous emulator for emulating black NeXT hardware (m68k) | Releases | Source 1 | Source 2 | Development
• VirtualBox for emulating white NeXT hardware (intel) | Video: Installing OpenStep in VirtualBox

Here you can take a look at the NeXTstation brochure, it is mentioning your price of $5,000 on the last page.

Do you by any chance know what around the same time the costs for a “normal” PC was? Just to get an idea about the difference.

All my real daily-use archivers were not listed in the poll, except 7zip.
Had to select “Other”, but meant: gzip, xz, bzip2, unrar, rar and zip.

• The only German search engine that combines results from several large web indexes
• And much more…

Same for me with uBlock Origin, until I have updated to version 1.51.0

In my FF’s about:config there is a setting called intl.regional_prefs.use_os_locales, defaulted to false. Maybe this can be used?

Thank you good bot, please take my social media profile.

For information see Wikipedia.

Setenil de las Bodegas is a town (pueblo) and municipality in the province of Cádiz, Spain, famous for its dwellings built into rock overhangs above the Río Guadalporcún. According to the 2005 census, the city has a population of 3,016 inhabitants.

[…] The town extends along the course of the Rio Trejo with some houses being built into the rock walls of the gorge itself, created by enlarging natural caves or overhangs and adding an external wall.

also nice:

Setenil has a reputation for its meat products, particularly chorizo sausage and cerdo (pork) from pigs bred in the surrounding hills. As well as meat, it has a reputation for producing fine pasteles (pastries), and its bars and restaurants are among the best in the region. Its outlying farms also provide Ronda and other local towns with much of their fruit and vegetables.

:D sorry, of course the coal guy, not the one with the fancy hairstyle.

They (Mr. Oil, Mr. Coil and Mrs. Nuke) explained to him that they are loosing $87 from your electric bill what will effect their profits and donations to him.

For the cloud storage part I can tell that Nextcloud serves the purpose fine.

I have configured our Android devices with Nextcloud app to upload new images directly into the my-nextcloud-user/files/SofortUpload folder. It has a structure /SofortUpload/ImageFolder/year/months/images, so for example /SofortUpload/Camera/2023/08/IMG_20230803_174100.jpg

(“Sofort” is German for “immediate”)

This auto-upload has been configured and happens (in our cases) also for the mobile device folders Pictures, Screenshots, Stickers, Telegram and Wallpaper.

For the timeline and viewing part I would also take suggestions, as having not yet found a good solution.

Hi @Chrishering33@lemmy.world , please try the following (found on the Startpage support page):

Add the following information:

• Search engine name: Startpage
• Search string to use: https://www.startpage.com/sp/search?query=%s

But I do not know what the /sp/ part is about (maybe “sp” for “StartPage”?) and how the German /de/, that you seem to need, can be integrated.

Came here to mention “Pi”, too.
