Rhasspy: Open-Source Offline Voice Assistant
@takebackourtech | SOURCE
If there was such a thing as a 'Wise Home' that you could control by voice, it would be powered by a fully offline voice recognition solution. Rhasspy could be that solution, it works well with the leading open source home assistant platforms and supports over 15 languages. It offers a simple template language and produces simple JSON events that software can pick up easily.

New Productivity Tools
@takebackourtech | SOFTWARE
Ever feel like you waste a lot of time? Me too. Time trackers can help you get a realistic view of how much time you're spending on different activities. I decided to try a new one out today doing my preparation for the webinar tomorrow! Rather then asking what I'm doing at specific increments, Super Productivity lets you choose the tasks you're working on and time them out.
Its got break timers and even a cool 'procrastination help' page which I could see being helpful for stressful tasks.
Plus there's no accounts, no registration required, and FOSS. Love it.

F-Droid Gets Faster Repo Updates with New Repository Format
@takebackourtech | SOURCE
Ever wait forever for F-Droid to 'load' its apps? That's because F-Droid is loading its repository index, which includes a list of all 4056 apps and their metadata (including where to connect to download them).
Good news, F-Droid has just released (March 1st) version 1.16 of the F-Droid client that uses a new repository format. The new app will determine what has changed and download the 'difference' files which contain only the changes. This means you are downloading a file 1/100th of the size.
I just tested the speed differences, the download went from 3 minutes to a few seconds.
Technical details and more info here: https://f-droid.org/en/2023/03/01/new-repo-format-faster-smaller-updates.html
Its also interesting to see that these latest updates were supported by a grant from the Filecoin Foundation - the same organization behind IPFS.

Although it uses a third party API, I think we're a year away from seeing more open AI models that would could make an app like this self-hosted.

Discover songs you are aching to know with an easy-to-use interface.
Mousai is a simple application that can identify songs similar to Shazam. Just click the listen button, and then wait a few seconds. It will magically return the title and artist of that song!
Note: This uses the API of audd.io, so it is necessary to log in to their site to get more trials.

XMPP Realtime Blocklist Protects XMPP Groups From Spammers, Implemented In Major Server Software
⚡️ @takebackourtech | SOURCE
I'm proud to share a recent development in XMPP, the development and adoption of a real-time blocklist.
Problem: Because XMPP allows anyone to create an acct without personal info, certain bad apples can disturb XMPP groups. When these people get banned, they can simply hop to a different XMPP chatroom - since XMPP is completely decentralized the second server will not know a spammer has joined until its too late.
XMPP server owners knew they had a problem, so they formed a working group and built a solution in the form of a real-time block list.
Solution: The XMPP real-time blocklist can be adopted by any server and can sync with a shared blocklist co-managed by other XMPP server operators. Now when a spammer is caught in one group, they're caught in all groups using the RTBL.
My part in this was simply asking the development team of ejabberd (a popular XMPP server software) to implement the module that would make a real-time blocklist possible for anyone using their software. They accepted the request and it got implemented recently. This functionality was already implemented in most major servers and this was the last one - it's a big deal for public groups everywhere.
Today's a good day to try XMPP.

FlatHub Redesign Released Out of Beta

Its been a while since I've installed something from Flathub, but I do remember it being convienient for Ubuntu/Debian based machines. Now Flathub has a new redesign.
Check it out: https://flathub.org
Its impressive to see Flathub grown to over 2,000 apps. Now you can see new apps, recently updated, and 'verified' apps so you ensure you're getting an a genuine app from popular developers.
I think they need to add a toggle for 'proprietary' (looking at you Spotify)

IzzyOnDroid@floss.social - @fdroidorg now passed the mark of 100 apps using #reproducibleBuilds (factor 10 to a year ago) – about 9 out of 10 apps recently added opted for that extra step.
What does this mean to you?
* you know #FDroid builds from source
* you see the app is signed by the developer
* => double trust!
* plus: cross-updates. Already have the app installed from Play? Seamlessly switch over to F-Droid for the extra trust!
Expect more and more #Android #apps at F-Droid using this :awesome:

What is OpenStreetMap?
⚡️ @takebackourtech | SOURCE
Working on a very important video this week on mapping - and of course we will be covering OpenStreetMaps.
If you aren't using it yet for personal navigation, you should try it - you would be surprised at the Points-Of-Interests it can pickup, thanks to the million+ contributors.
https://www.openstreetmap.org/
OpenStreetMap is a free, editable map of the whole world made by people like you. It was started in 2004 in the UK, out of frustration with the lack of availability of good map data that was free to use.
OpenStreetMap includes data about roads, buildings, addresses, shops and businesses, points of interest, railways, trails, transit, land use and natural features, and much more.
The map is created and maintained by nearly 5 million registered users and more than 1 million map contributors in every country in the world, using free tools and software. The data is used by local people, volunteer groups, companies, governments, software developers and more.
