I am not a programmer but I have a #programming #Question:

How easy is it to compile Android Apps from source?

My kids are having fun learning capitals of countries recently. I remembered Quizzn which is nice for this, but the English names are often much different than German, so I want to just translate the CSV with wordpairs and compile the app again. That's it. I have no motivation to start programming Android apps and invest weeks of time to get there.

I am not a programmer. Being a #Debian user, I found AndroidTools in the wiki. This document is full of things I don't understand. Following it would entail a lot of guess work for me which minimizes the chance of succeeding.

Are you aware of any better tutorials? Or can you tell me if Quizz is below or above android-sdk-platform-23?

I welcome any hint, even "forget it!" :)

xenotropic/quizzn

quizzn - This is an open-source quiz application. The current dataset is for world capitals, but it can also be easily adapted to work with language vocabulary learning as well.

Please upgrade gajim-omemo

If you happen to use the Debian package gajim-omemo, please update to 1.0.0-2 on unstable/testing, or to 1.0.0-2~bpo8+1 on stable (a.k.a. Jessie a.k.a. 8). On unstable/testing, you may also try 1.2.0-1 from experimental. You will need the new version to be able to communicate securely with users of the latest Conversations release. In case of problems, just write to me or file a bug. Thanks!

DMUX

Currently I've been working with #CollectiveTyranny to create a #3D derby-style shooter #game in #cplusplus called #DMUX using only #FOSS tools and libraries. All of our assets are #free-culture using only those under licenses such as #CC-BY or #CC-BY-SA. The game itself is licensed with the #GPL and #AGPL licenses (AGPL is used for the server while GPL is used for the client). The source code is available on #Gitlab [link] and it currently compiles just fine on GNU/Linux systems, (at least on #Debian, #Fedora, and #Arch). We're still working on a Windows port, but I wouldn't suppose too many people here would care for too much for that. We don't have the networking set up just yet, but we're working on that now, at which point the game will start to be playable (right now it's just a car that you can drive around).

Feel free to clone and try out what we have so far!

Thank you all for the good work!

Dear #linux Pros,

I am looking for an easy way (proven howto) to run a #debian from RAM. I know there is ubuntu based #puppy linux around but I was searching for a way to easily put an existing debian (minimal without desktop) into ram with the ability to persist changes (package updates etc) so they survive a reboot. I have a box with 8GB of RAM and 1TB disk and only small footprint of apps ( #tor relay, samba server & ajenti ). I want to run it from ram to enhance the lifetime of the harddisk as this machine will run 24/7 Does anyone has a standard debian running from ram?
Thanks folks

Everyone can be a target

You can use apt-transport-tor to download #debian packages over #tor. Good for #privacy, #security, and #anonymity.

Just run:apt install apt-transport-tor
Then in your /etc/apt/sources.list, just put "tor+" in front of the http:// URLs, like this:deb tor+http://http.debian.net/debian unstable main
