NewPipe represents the best of FOSS
NewPipe is a free and open-source Android application for browsing & watching YouTube. In my opinion, NewPipe is a perfect case-study in why free & open source software is great and how our values differ from proprietary software in important ways. There’s one simple reason: it’s better than the proprietary YouTube app, in every conceivable way, for free.
NewPipe is better because it’s user-centric software. It exists to make its users lives better, not to enrich its overseers. Because of this, NewPipe has many features which are deliberately omitted from the proprietary app, such as:

There is now a patch overview tool to have a quick overview of the patch status list. This list is generated each day from the sites repository. It checks if patches apply cleanly in a normal patching manner. Of course it does not check patch combinations.

Rust is not a good C replacement

I have a saying that summarizes my opinion of Rust compared to Go: “Go is the result of C programmers designing a new programming language, and Rust is the result of C++ programmers designing a new programming language”. This isn’t just a metaphor - Go was designed by plan9 alumni, an operating system written in C and the source of inspiration for many of Go’s features, and Rust was designed by the folks at Mozilla - whose flagship product is one of the largest C++ codebases in the world.
The values of good C++ programmers are incompatible with the values of good C programmers1. Rust is a decent...

Status update, March 2019
My todo list is getting completed at a pace it’s never seen before, and growing at a new pace, too. This full-time FOSS gig is really killing it! As the good weather finally starts to roll in, it’s time for March’s status update. Note: I posted updates on Patreon before, but will start posting here instead. This medium doesn’t depend on a proprietary service, allows for richer content, and is useful for my supporters who support my work via other donation platforms.
Sway 1.0 has been released! I wrote a detailed write-up on the release and our future plans separately, which I encourage you to read if you...
Announcing the release of sway 1.0
1,315 days after I started the sway project, it’s finally time for sway 1.0! I had no idea at the time how much work I was in for, or how many talented people would join and support the project with me. In order to complete this project, we have had to rewrite the entire Linux desktop nearly from scratch. Nearly 300 people worked together, together writing over 9,000 commits and almost 100,000 lines of code, to bring you this release.
Sway is an i3-compatible Wayland desktop for Linux and FreeBSD
1.0 is the first stable release of sway and represents a consistent, flexible, and powerful desktop environment for Linux...
Sourcehut's spartan approach to web design
Sourcehut is known for its brutalist design, with its mostly shades-of-gray appearance, conservative color usage, and minimal distractions throughout. This article aims to share some insights into the philosophy that guides this design, both for the curious reader and for the new contributor to the open-source project.
The most important principle is that sr.ht is an engineering tool first and foremost, and when you’re there it’s probably because you’re in engineering mode. Therefore, it’s important to bring the information you’re there for to the forefront, and minimize distractions. In practice, this means that the first thing on any page to grab your attention should be the thing that brought...
Tips for a disciplined git workflow
Basic git usage involves typing a few stock commands to “sync everyone up”. Many people who are frustrated with git become so because they never progress beyond this surface-level understanding of how it works. However, mastering git is easily worth your time. How much of your day is spent using git? I would guess that there are many tools in your belt that you use half as often and have spent twice the time studying.
If you’d like to learn more about git, I suggest starting with Chapter 10 of Pro Git (it’s free!), then reading chapters 2, 3, and 7. The rest is optional. In this article,...
Converting Wordpress Posts To Lektor
As promised in the previous installment of this column, I have now imported all my old blog posts from Wordpress. In case you have a similar requirement, here's how I did it: 1. Export your posts from Wordpress. Login to your Wordpress administration interface and then click on Tools → Export Data. Select the content you want to export (blog posts in my case) and you will download an XML file with all your content. Here's a fragment for a single post without comments: <item> <title>A New Blog</title> <link>https://archive.vanille.de/a-new-blog/</link> <pubDate>Wed, 14 Jun 2006 02:31:04 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[mickey]]></dc:creator> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.vanille-media.de/site/?p=5</guid> <description></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[Finally,...
