Shane KerrI was admiring some lovely graphs of energy use and thinking how awesome Home Assistant is today.I first installed it to track moisture/temperature/temperature from some plant sensors, but the next thing I know I'm making a mostly non-cloud smart home.I love how it's a real community of people just doing whatever little (or big) thing they want; learning and sharing and making and having fun.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ilovefreesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ilovefreesoftware</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a>

Shane KerrIt's been a few weeks since I mentioned some free software that I like. Here I go again!I spent a bit of time today configuring WireGuard on various hosts. It's a way to set up an encrypted tunnel (VPN) between hosts that can send UDP packets to each other. It's pretty straightforward, and works really well.I'm sure there are plenty of use cases where it isn't the best solution... luckily I don't have any of those! 😄<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ilovefreesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ilovefreesoftware</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/WireGuard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WireGuard</a>

Shane KerrSince I had such a frustrating time with Office 365 this week for work, I'd like to call out the excellent LibreOffice suite.I use the word processor, the spreadsheet, and the presentation bits. I used to think it was clunky but honestly every time I'm forced to use proprietary tools I miss LibreOffice. I even donate to it every month (a tiny amount, to be fair).<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LibreOffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibreOffice</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ilovefreesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ilovefreesoftware</a>

Christian Pietsch<a href="https://mastodon.social/@bagder" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bagder</a> Public appreciation for Free Software is such a rare thing. I am glad you received it at least once. Too few people realize that <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/curl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#curl</a> practically runs the Internet – much like Apache & nginx, but on the client side.There should be more <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/ILoveFreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ILoveFreeSoftware</a> days, medals, and other forms of appreciation.

Shane KerrThe past two weeks I called out popular and widely-used software. This week I'm going the opposite, and mentioning something really niche.I was looking to print some QR codes and found the lprint software:<a href="https://www.msweet.org/lprint/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.msweet.org/lprint/index.html</a>It supports label printers, and includes a CLI tool as well as presenting them as normal printers to the OS. I was able to get a cheap, used label printer and use it on Linux.It seems to be a one-person project, nicely done.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/lprint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lprint</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ilovefreesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ilovefreesoftware</a>

Shane KerrI've decided that it would be nice to call out the wonderful software that I use all the time. So maybe one post each Friday?I'll start with rsync!It's an efficient way to synchronize files over a network (or even locally).It's 28 years old, and I use it all the time. For a long time I even used it for incremental backups.Getting names right is a bit tricky ("/" or not matters), and you need to use SSH or the like for encryption, but what an amazing tool.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/rsync" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rsync</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ilovefreesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ilovefreesoftware</a>

WuzzyToday is the "<a href="https://cyberplace.social/tags/ILoveFreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ILoveFreeSoftware</a>" day. 🎉I work with <a href="https://cyberplace.social/tags/FreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeSoftware</a> basically every day. 👨‍💻Free Software isn't just software, but a liberation movement. It challenges the notion that when you use software, that justifies that a faceless authority gets to control your computing or punish you for sharing. I say NO to that; but yes to <a href="https://cyberplace.social/tags/freedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freedom</a>! ✊I am thankful and proud to be part of this amazing free software <a href="https://cyberplace.social/tags/community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#community</a>. 😊Let's keep improving society, one commit at a time! 😃<a href="https://cyberplace.social/tags/ILoveFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ILoveFS</a>

Stéphane BortzmeyerI just discovered the 'mix deps.tree' command to display in a nice way the dependencies of an <a href="https://mastodon.gougere.fr/tags/Elixir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Elixir</a> project. It can show you how many free software projects you depend on. <a href="https://mastodon.gougere.fr/tags/IloveFreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IloveFreeSoftware</a> And together with <a href="https://mastodon.gougere.fr/tags/Graphviz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Graphviz</a>, it's nicer
