On the two year anniversary of joining #Mastodon I'm super proud to share:

I'm not a programmer: but ever since I started dabbling in ZDoom modding I've staunchly believed that every computer user should have at least know the basics of scripting and software development.

- desktop OS:es ought to ship with development tools and a sourcecode-centric package manager/"app store"
- window managers and program launchers ought to include "view source code" and "open in disassembler"-buttons on every application window and icon (respectively) *
- FOSS videogames ought to ship with level editors
- would be neat if terminals had a rightclick menu where you can find and paste every available command (plus brief descriptions of each) **

* basically what Inspect Element does on web pages but for local applications
** may be kludgey in practice, but it still serves the purpose of making things more visible.
** not necessarily mouse controlled but you get the idea

#introduction après quelque temps sur mastodon :
- intéressé (assez pour y passer trop de temps) par les outils informatiques du monde #libre en commençant par #linux (#MXlinux user here) mais aussi #android et #foss
- réfléchit aux outils libres... qui libèrent ! notamment autour de la #décentralisation et du #smallweb #smolweb
- kiffe la musique du #Mali
- de manière très originale aime la #nature, les #arbres, et développe ses compétences en #permaculture
- un peu de #photographie de rue

Today I released my next audio effect plugin: Pult EQ - a Pultec style tube EQ.

Pult EQ is made for adding mojo and sound coloration. You can eq and saturate your sound and do the “Pultec trick”. The EQ features stereo and mid/side processing and the saturation comes with gain compensation and up to 16 times oversampling.

Pult EQ is a free and open source VST3 plugin (64bit) for Linux and Windows.

Download: https://github.com/consint/Pult-EQ

We had a great time at #FOSDEM, as always. It is such a treasure to gather with so many fantastic people from the #FOSS community. This is all thanks to the @fosdem volunteers who make this great happening possible. A very big thank you to everyone who contributed. It had such as positive impact that it brought an early spring to Brussels.

It was an honor to speak at the #FOSDEM. Thank you for the possibility to share my message on how to lead change from closed source to #opensource and why contributing to this transition actually matters more than ever.

In case you missed the talk and would like to join the #FOSS revolution, I'm happy to share the recording: https://video.fosdem.org/2026/aw1120/7YMJST-how-to-lead-change-to-open-source.av1.webm

Finally tried #NetBSD 10.1 RELEASE baremetal on my #ThinkPad #T470s. Good news is most things seem to work out of box: WiFi, touchpad, i915 drived video card. Bad news is, suspend/wakeup (S3) not working. It appears suspend worked well since after issuing sysctl -w hw.acpi.sleep.state=3 the laptop went to sleep with blinking power led, fan stops. However, at wakeup keyboard just stops responding, even swtiching tty with Ctrl-Alt-Fn keys. WiFi usually wakes up just fine since I gain ssh session back shortly after wakeups. I will conclude a major issue for a system if suspend/wakeup won't work for a laptop. I simply cannot imagine having to poweroff a laptop every day before going to bed. It is kinda a sueprise to me since I assume ThinkPad laptops usually get along well with #BSD and #Linux systems.

FYI, S3 suspend/wakeup works flawlessly with #FreeBSD and #OpenBSD on this laptop without any hack.
