Today I sent the Gnome Foundation 5 Dollars (USD) and perhaps others will do so too. I included a message asking them to make a voxel game engine which uses OpenCL1.2 in Linux. #GnomeVoxelOpenCL So I have uploaded an image file to show how the money was sent so that, if other people wish to send their own money to GNOME Foundation, they can see what to click. Public Post Movim Link

As an aside, later on 24 December 2022 (Christmas Eve), I donated £5 to DEC UK Paypal to help the Pakistan flood's Aid and I show how it can be done (and added free linux and HAM Radio learning tips).

As I used Paypal, I could add a message.

On 28 December 2022 in time for 2023 New Year, I donated £12 to IRC, International Rescue committee, and here is how I did it, linked below.

Upon donating 5 USD to Gnome, I wrote this, and perhaps they will like it.

" Please make a FLOSS (Free Libre Open Source Software) voxel graphics game engine for Linux in OpenCL1.2 (thereby compatible with RaspberryPi3b upwards and an Intel or AMD64 PC with at least a Radeon HD6450 GPU or Nvidia GT710 using nouveau drivers) some ability to integrate with GTK4 and GTK5 (python3 or C++) and encourage members of the public to write games for it. Gallium3D would be able to use it. It would also be great to then see GNOME Web run those games so that the browser has this thing it can do which other browsers probably cannot do. By donating this money, I foresee that others will do so likewise, to some degree. Love from ... "

Perhaps people who add a reference when paying via Credit Card might add their small text reference as "VoxelOpenCL" and just kind of hope the GNOME Foundation see their money they have sent is for that purpose. Either that, or including the Transaction ID of "82942369JB079011H" might let them know. Using the hashtag #GnomeVoxelOpenCL might also spread the idea. It would be cool of the GNOME Web Browser did a thing other browsers don't do (like this), thereby giving people a specific reason to use it even if it does not have full compatibility with other websites. the OpenCL voxel Game engine would be a thing on its own too though, even if a person were not using the GNOMe Web Browser. It is just kind of a cool idea that the GNOME Web browser would also be able to run such OpenCL1.2 voxel engine games. It is the theme of heterogenous computing. Such a game engine could be used for other things too such as basic medical imaging or mapping of 3D landscapes such as conversion of stereoscopic photos into 3D graphics models , like say the inside of the Mexico Coahuila state coal mine were the 10 miners became trapped. That is the sort of low cost (£15 per pizero2w) technical prepping that could have mapped what was going on down the mine in advance, thereby also sending communication to pizero2w SBCs hung with their camera and battery like lamps on coal-mine "walls", forming a wifi mesh network and linking to ethernet RJ45 cable running up to the surface to a building or caravan where a small server (another Pizero2W or Ryzen SBC) constantly monitoring the sights and sounds of the coal mine or cave. The Rj45 ethernet cable would be better since it work probably still work under water in a flood whereas wifi is more a sort of "added extra".

I only just sent this. I have not heard from GNOME Foundation and so it is not a GoFundMe or crowd funding effort. It is instead a 5 Buck Paypal payment with some text I wrote in it. Maybe that will do the trick.

In my opinion to be helpful, the LibreWolf (Mozilla Fork) browser could have done with a Gallium3D style engine in it and so it would help a VM by throwing loads of CPU cores and RAM at it, even if it resulted in it feeling like a HD6450 GPU. It would be a way of OpenCL running in a browser. #GnomeOpenCL #SendGnomeMoney #Gnome #GnomeFoundation #OpenCL #Voxel #Voxels #Paypal #GnomeVoxelOpenCL

I have also donated, on 21 September 2022), to Linux Slackware Patrick Volkerding via Paypal, so you may consider donating likewise and therefore see this link to see how I did it and use the #SlackwareBitTorrentOIDCLoRa hashtag: Donating to Linux Slackware for OIDC LoRa BitTorrent install

My comment has no hate in it and I do no harm. I am not appalled or afraid, boasting or envying or complaining... Just saying. Psalms23: Giving thanks and praise to the Lord and peace and love. Also, I'd say Matthew6.

While browsing around wikis while waiting for the new kernel to compile on my poor little old ARMv5 server, I stumbled upon Mosh.

On its home page we can find the following description:

Remote terminal application that allows roaming, supports intermittent connectivity, and provides intelligent local echo and line editing of user keystrokes.

Mosh is a replacement for SSH. It's more robust and responsive, especially over Wi-Fi, cellular, and long-distance links.

… but what it boils down to is that if you even just occasionally have to SSH over an unstable WLAN or mobile internet, you should instead use Mosh.

The syntax seems very similar to OpenSSH and in fact, it does run on top of it (at least for authentication, then it uses its own AES-encrypted SSP over UDP). But the way it works, makes sure that even if you lose connection for a while, it will resume just fine. It also gets rid of network lag when typing and is in general very responsive.

Mosh is great for logging into remote shells, but you will still need to use OpenSSH for scp and sftp, as Mosh is optimised for character (and not binary) transport. Which is perfectly fine.

This is one of those tools that when you first try it out you simply go “Dear $deity, finally! Why Whhhhyyyyy haven’t I used this before …so many needlessly lost hours with SSH timing out …oh, so many.”
