Vocalinux is an open-source voice dictation app for Linux that works entirely offline.

It supports Whisper.cpp, OpenAI Whisper, and VOSK, letting you dictate into almost any application without sending your audio to the cloud. It also includes GPU acceleration, customizable hotkeys, and Wayland/X11 support.

More details: digitalescapetools.com/tools/t

Screenshot of the Vocalinux project page. The page describes Vocalinux as "Voice-to-text for Linux, finally done right!" and displays project badges including beta status, nightly release, GPLv3 license, Linux platform support, Python 3.9+, GTK, and code coverage. A banner illustration below shows four people using laptops beneath a large microphone icon, with Linux and open-source symbols in the background, representing offline voice dictation for Linux.

    :tor: I thought scaling Tor meant adding more relays.

    What it actually meant was multiplying failure modes...

    I now operate 24 Tor relays and bridges across 15 locations, 11 ASNs and 6 operating systems.

    Every new relay brings another provider, firewall, IPv6 route, service manager, identity key, backup and recovery plan.

    Some things I learned along the way:

    🌍 More countries don’t automatically mean real diversity
    🔑 The server is replaceable, the relay identity isn’t
    🛠️ Linux, BSD and SunOS need the same outcomes, not the same commands
    📊 What I configured isn’t always what the Tor network currently sees

    A large fleet is easy to count. A resilient one is much harder to keep alive.

    I wrote about what operating Tor across 15 locations actually taught me:

      Damn. This quote from Linus Torvalds is... well... damning.

      In response to a discussion around use of generative AI as it relates to contributions to the Linux code base, Linus (creator and lead contributor to Linux) firmly states that AI contributions are welcome.

      But then he goes on and concludes with this:

      "The kernel project has been and will continue to be about the technology.

      Sure, the social angle of working on open source is important and often a very motivating part of the project, but in the end that's a side benefit, not the _point_ of the project.

      This is *NOT* some kind of "social warrior" project, never has been, and never will be.

      In the kernel community we do open source because it results in better technology, not because of religious reasons.

      And so we make decisions primarily based on technical merit. Not fear of new tools.

      Linus"

      A lot of us are on Linux specifically because of the social and political positives. Closed source is control. Open source is democracy.

      Linus doing the typical tech-bro "i don't think of politics, I only think of tech" harkens back to any number of "science without ethics" atrocities.

      Linus is and has always been a tech-bro (or proto tech bro). He has his throne of power and is happy where he is. Other tech-bros want money and influence. They're all the same.

      But Linus is wrong.

      Tech is politics.

      And his stance and guiding influence with Linux is wrong.

      Linus just made a political statement and has shifted the politics and societal approach of Linux.
