       | Don't know why this landed here. It's just a homepage of a guy
       | loving to host software and share it with the world.
       | 
       | It's not like its a curated list or something, just some stuff he
       | hosts.

       | PS: Chatted with him years back, cool guy from Germany living on
       | a chicken farm.

       | Where's Blender? Hands down the best user-focused open-source
       | software out there, to the point of being better than the
       | commercial alternatives in many fronts.

         | source software around the fediverse concept including links to
         | servers.

       | If I'm understanding this correctly this is a server hosting a
       | bunch of fediverse instances. From the title I thought it would
       | either be articles about good open source projects or maybe a
       | collective developing open source projects.
       | 
       | Based on the comments by others here I'm guessing I was not alone
       | in thinking it was something else.

       | So I go to "The World of Illuna" at https://illuna-minetest.tk/ .
       | I'm curious, so I click on what appears to be a video, under
       | "Amazing customized Technic Ethereal experience in a crazy
       | adjusted mapgen. Port 30.002 Online".
       | 
       | I get "502 Bad Gateway".
       | 
       | I then go to "Veloren" at https://tchncs.de/veloren . There are
       | some pretty images on the side. I click them, and get a small
       | white box with an x in the upper-corner. Firefox tells me:
       | 
       | Content Security Policy: The page's settings blocked the loading

           | I say that as someone that feels defeated every time I see a
           | new issue in my inbox about the FOSS I made.
           | 
           | It's fine if things are clunky but if someone consistently
           | runs into problems, they're going to be less inclined to use
           | it or recommend it in the future. Even for techy ppl, there's
           | a limit to how much you can tolerate.
           | 
           | For what its worth tho, I don't seem to have those issues.
