I'm mostly working on Bor in my free time. Bor is a policy manager for the Linux desktop: https://getbor.dev/

Bor - Linux Desktop policy management ( https://getbor.dev/ ).
In short, it unifies the configuration of different desktop components as policies ( dconf, Kconfig, polkit, Chrome, Firefox, etc.. . It's LGPL.

@dreamglider,
I've always missed something like this in the industry, when I was trying to integrate Linux desktops in different organizations. There are tools like Ansible and Foreman, but they are not "out of the box" structured like simple policies. For example, it would be more difficult to run an arbitrary code with Bor, compared to Ansible. It's important for the enterprise compliance and we we never had anything like GPOs in the Linux world.
The current target are the desktop machines. That's why the currently implemented features are the most essential ones - desktop environments (KDE, Gnome), browsers ( Firefox, Chrome), security - Polkit.
Unfortunately, it doesn't manage certificates at the current stage of development. There are no webhooks, but thee audit logs may be exported to a syslog server.
Your internal API to POE is not working :/
It would be good to mention which government in the title :)
Heh, I've found this post while installing Gotosocial :D

Writing without AI agent assistance? How is that possible?
Cool! It would be even better if it was able to create simple web pages for vintage browsers.
Awesome!
From the GitHub README:
"If you use the VMOS Pro Android 5.1 ROM for internal use, commercial profit or uploading to the app market without authorization, we will collect evidence and report to the police (copyright infringement) or prosecute. Anyone who reports unauthorized or illegal use of VMOS Pro Android 5.1 ROM code to develop products will be rewarded upon verification. We will keep the identity of the whistleblower confidential!"
Really nice! I had this idea since years. A simple open source tool that may replace the random websites for file conversions in small and middle companies. The traffic from the search engine results may be redirected to an internsl tool with a proxy for example.
Unfortunately, Google have the tendency to kill their cloud products.
In eastern Europe this is just normal :D
We have a similar project in Bulgaria, but it's a huge ponzy scheme
Exactly. There are almost 30 rooms with live talks. Only universities might fit an event from this size.
Hi from the Video team 8-)
I'm waiting for the data about their farts.
I'm thinking about a new Qt desktop/mobile client with the "Download" functionality :)

+1. I'm having problems in two different organizations, accessing Slack from two different networks. The messages are not sent.
I had to find the quantum superposition :)
I've always wondered why they use USB-B. They also use usb-b mini for other boards, which is almost instinct nowadays.
Edit: I've added build info :)

Happens to me several times a year. My PiHole is running on LXD :)
