Pinta 3.0 brings major GTK4 overhaul
Over 15 years ago, I wrote about the launch of a Paint.NET clone for Linux, called Pinta, written in GTK. That was merely version 0.1, and over time, it’s become somewhat of a staple for many Linux users. The project just released version 3, which is a major revision, moving the application over to GTK4 and Libadwaita. Built on the robust GTK 4 toolkit and the sleek Libadwaita, Pinta 3.0 brings a redesigned user interface that’s faster, more responsive, and … ⌘ Read more

MacSSL: a port of Mbed-TLS for the classic Mac OS 7/8/9

XMPP Interop Testing: Enabling Tests
Our project creates a framework that allows anyone to easily add XMPP standards compliance tests to the test phase of
their build pipeline. Prior to our most recent release (version 1.5.0) a test execution would basically run all tests

This behavior is generally preferable when testing an XMPP server implementation. A benefit of exclusion-based

UGH
granted i doubt i’d get much interest in dynamic sites but i’d like to do this old school where i can offer people isolated mySQL databases or something for some project (i’m thinking PHP based fanlistings), which means i could do it the old school way of… people ask me to run it and i do it for them. but i kind of want to let people have access to be able to do it themselves just short of giving them SSH access which isn’t happening
