Mi cuenta principal está en un servidor que usa ejabberd, y en general va muy bien.

Algunos otros servidores fiables que conozco funcionan con Prosody, que además tiene fama de sencillo e idoneo para instalaciones con pocos usuarios.

Explanation: Do other stars have planetary systems like our own? Yes -- one such system is Kepler-90. Cataloged by the orbiting Kepler satellite, an eighth planet has now been discovered giving Kepler-90 the same number of known planets as our Solar System. Similarities between Kepler-90 and our system include a G-type star comparable to our Sun, rocky planets comparable to our Earth, and large planets comparable in size to Jupiter and Saturn. Differences include that all of the known Kepler-90 planets orbit relatively close in -- closer than Earth's orbit around the Sun -- making them possibly too hot to harbor life. However, observations over longer time periods may discover cooler planets further out. Kepler-90 lies about 2,500 light years away, and at magnitude 14 is visible with a medium-sized telescope toward the constellation of the Dragon (Draco). Exoplanet-finding missions planned for launch in the next decade include TESS, JWST, WFIRST, and PLATO.

It's that time of the... trimester? again!

Last week I tagged the development version of Dianara, my Pump.io client as beta, preparing for the release of v1.4.0.

I have a few details to polish, but some wider testing would be helpful. If you can build from source, now's a good time to do so and test it. If you already run an often-updated version from git, feedback would be good.

The main changes since v1.3.7 include:

• Movable side panel and movable toolbar, after unlocking (left side of screenshot).
• Attachment icons will match the mimetype of the attachment, using your system's iconset (upper-right).
• Optional "activity icons" in the minor feeds (lower-right).
• Notifications will also make the window "demand attention", which usually results in some sort of taskbar/dock entry flashing in some way, in most desktops. Enabled by default, but can be disabled.
• Better zoom control in the image viewer.

(Full/current CHANGELOG file)

As announced, v1.3.7 was the last version to support Qt 4.x. Qt 5 is required for 1.4.0. The bad news is that, at this time, users of distributions such as Debian 9 can't build with the version of QOAuth present in their repositories, based on Qt 4. Current Debian Testing/Sid is fine though.

Test away, and let me know if you find any issues that are not listed in the BUGS file, or in the issue tracker.

Also, if you maintain any translations, now is a good time to update them =)

Public institutions spend millions of Euros every year for the development of new software that is specifically tailored to their needs.

Unfortunately, most of this software is closed source.

This means that your tax money is being used to pay for software that cannot be modified or even studied. Most public institutions pay to develop programs that they do not or cannot release to the public. When other institutions need to solve similar problems, they have to develop the same software again. And each time the public - including you - has to foot the bill.

Paying a company to provide closed software also leads to vendor lock-in. Vendor lock-in is when an institution contracts a certain provider and later discovers it is very hard to switch to another one.

Companies with a stranglehold on an institution can artificially restrict usage and features of their products. They can forbid you to install their programs on more than a handful of computers, disable saving your work in a certain format, or hike the prices of licenses for no reason.

The biggest problem, however, is the safety of your data.

Explanation: On July 11, the Juno spacecraft once again swung near the turbulent Jovian cloud tops. On its seventh orbital closest approach this perijove passage brought Juno within 3,500 kilometers of the Solar System's largest planetary atmosphere. Near perijove the rotating JunoCam was able to record this stunning, clear view of one of Jupiter's signature vortices. About 8,000 kilometers in diameter, the anticyclonic storm system was spotted in Jupiter's North North Temperate Zone in the 1990s. That makes it about half the size of an older and better known Jovian anticyclone, the Great Red Spot, but only a little smaller than planet Earth. At times taking on reddish hues, the enormous storm system is fondly known as a North North Temperate Zone Little Red Spot.

I've been working on a feature for my Pump.io client, Dianara, to show "activity icons" in the minor feeds. That is, for a "someone posted a comment in reply to whatever", it will show a "post" icon next to it, or in the middle of it, or behind it. For a "favorited something", it will show a heart or similar, depending on your system iconset, and so on.

I have been testing the 3 approaches shown in the image:

• Icon before avatar, fully separated.
• Icon before avatar, but sort of "behind" it.
• Icon after avatar, before activity description, fully separated.
• 4th one would be in the style of the 2nd one, but located after the avatar, like the 3rd.

I've been thinking of ways to support more than one style without overcomplicated code, but I'd like to get a feel of what people prefer/find horrible. There will be the option of not having these icons appear at all, of course =)

So, which style do you prefer?

EDIT: This can be tested now in the developmen version.

“After 26 months of development the Debian project is proud to present its new stable version 9 (code name Stretch), which will be supported for the next 5 years thanks to the combined work of the Debian Security team and of the Debian Long Term Support team. ”

Debian GNU/Hurd 2017 released! https://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2017/06/msg00017.html

Working with others was also improved across servers, federating activities so you can see changes on remote shares in your activity feed through an implementation of the ActivityPub API developed by the W3C.

Very summarized, it would be like this: KDE is a community of people, who create the following things:

• The KDE Frameworks, a set of libraries and frameworks to build their software, currently at version 5.30.
• The Plasma Desktop, currently at version 5.9.x, based on KDE Frameworks.
• The KDE Applications collection, which include things like Dolphin (file manager) or Okular (document viewer). This collection is currently at version 16.12, and includes applications built on top of KDE Frameworks 5, and a few still based on the older KDElibs 4.x. These applications do not require the Plasma Desktop.

Well, that wasn't so summarized in the end xD

The KDE community is now co-producing a laptop =)

“Today KDE is proud to announce the immediate availability of the KDE Slimbook, a KDE-branded laptop that comes pre-installed with Plasma and KDE Applications (running on Linux) and is assured to work with our software as smoothly as possible. ”

Here's hoping it's free of proprietary blobs and IntelME too, though that's hard to accomplish.
