I heard the news about Seth Nickell’s passing last week, and have been in a bit of a funk ever since.
Seth was brilliant, iconoclastic, fearless.
It’s been a long while since Seth was an active part of the GNOME Community, but his influence on the project can still be seen in its DNA if you know…
QGIS Cloud makes it possible to edit geospatial data collaboratively directly from the web browser. This is especially useful when several users need to update the same dataset without installing or configuring a local QGIS project.
I got myself a Yubikey recently, and I wanted to use it as a nice convenience to:
Grant me sudo privileges
Unlock my session
Decrypt my LUKS-encrypted disk
I've only managed to do the first two, since they both rely on Linux Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM). Luckily for me, one of PAM's…
If I had been patient, it would have saved me time. One such instance
is following.
From my early blogs, you might know I am using mutt to do email. Just
after I get along with mutt, I started using notmuch. Because limit
search in mutt is always a pain when you have multiple folders. And

that mountain. I went up the…
On the 7th of September 2025, my friend Dione and I had a day trip to Vienna—the capital of Austria. We were attending a conference in Budapest, Hungary, which is 250 km from Vienna. So, it was a good opportunity to visit Vienna.<We took a morning train from Budapest to Vienna and got back to…

Some time ago I used a feature in KDE called “Run a command” when an event triggered. It triggered for me when a calendar event fired and used Piper TTS to read the event to me out loud. A small popup and a pling don’t work for me.
I tried to get the feature back into KDE, but since the merge…

At the start of the month, Bilal gave us all a giant gift with Goblint. On the first week it was already impressive. Now it’s an invaluable tool for anyone that ever interfaced with GObject, glib or GTK. It will catch leaks, bugs, or even offer to auto fix and modernize your code to the modern…
Yesterday, I had to add support for running KVM virtual machines inside an LXC container. More as a reminder to myself, in case I ever have to do this again, here the simple recipe:
LXC Container Config Adjustment
Enable lxc.autodev and execute hook script to be executed after initial /dev…

Hace unos días lanzamos una encuesta para decidir si se celebraba y en caso afirmativo, cómo y dónde celebrar la próxima QGISesCamp 2026. Queríamos escuchar a la comunidad, contrastar opciones y tomar la decisión con criterio compartido. Y eso es exactamente lo que ha pasado.

The SpacemiT K1 is a rather
interesting RISC-V SoC, found for instance on boards like the Banana Pi
BPI-F3 board. It's one
of those platforms that looked promising on paper, but took a bit of time
before things really started to move upstream. Things have clearly accelerated
over the last few…
On the internet, anyone can make a request to your web
service. Especially in this time of abusive web crawling linked to
AI/LLM companies, it's essential to program in a defensive style and
stay in control, even when faced with a volume of requests that can't
be handled.
