For those of you looking for adobe alternatives the affinity suite is quite good too, I don’t think it is open source and it is not free but you can make a lifetime license purchase that is not really all that expensive, I think it is one of the best adobe alternatives at the moment because it is so similar both in tools and the ecosystem.

At the moment the rest are all ones that compete with specific adobe apps like darktable being better than lightroom as an example.

I like gimp but all of these software alternatives will just land in a similar spot where the only cohesiveness is that the files can be exported/imported between eachother.

Are you trying to say that the name of smoke signal all is cultural appropriation?

Nice didn’t know this existed, plus its framasoft so its got more attached to it already than just a dev who started a thing recently

This cool new thing that was just created recently called smoke signal that is basically a fediverse alternative to website like meetup.com

Once I saw this I had realized what was missing from the fediverse experience and that this was it, local interaction!

Check out smoke signal!

lol just yesterday my brother found a moth in the welder that caused it to not push material through the tip

i think you may be mixing federated and small-web feel there. there exists the ability for individuals to have functioning email servers although it is difficult but fair considering how much of the world is reliant upon it and opposing it with various kinds of attacks. i dont thimk it requires many individuals to have their own servers for it to be considered federated, the fact that we have dozens of relatively big email providers to choose from who prioritize various different things is enough to cover the majority of peoples needs and i think that is the threshold requirement for a sufficient self sustaining federated network. regardless of that, if you compare this outcome of email as of present to lets just say a platform like discord whose goal is to facilitate messaging between people, you can evidently say thst emails outcome is better than the proprietary service that discord is locking people into and not making alternatives ways of accessing the service a simpler process.

i dont know how email survived, i bet whatever happened there is what will make it work too

I have a similar question that I wonder if anyone can help with. So I’m not overly familiar with self hosting but I’d like to get into it more with simple things, I have a raspberry pi connected to a 3d printer for networked controls and I feel like I should be able to make the raspberry pi not be used just for that only. So like I’m thinking maybe I can run simple things along with it. Basically since the printer is noisy I don’t want all that to be on all the time but I’d like the raspberry pi to do oter things too. Maybe I should make a separate post for this haha, anyways thanks for listening. Oh forgot to add my question lol So basically I’m wondering if there’s a way that power on lan or something may be useful here
