Random Astro package of the week is jython-stilts. The STIL Tool Set is a set of command-line tools based on STIL, the Starlink Tables Infrastructure Library. It deals with the processing of tabular data; the package has been designed for, but is not restricted to, astronomical tables such as object catalogues. Some of the tools are generic and can work with multiple formats (including FITS, VOTable, CDF, CSV, SQL and

Librewolf is exactly what Firefox should be.

To the point where I find in new features I was explicitly missing in (like clicking on the lock to enable/disable cookies for a specific website)

And, yet, it works perfectly in thanks to extrepo. But, seriously, it should be considered as the default Debian browser.

Congratulations to the team!

Don’t wait on Mozilla, switch to Librewolf !

Do not fall for the trap of the ClosedSource operating system underlords. Your computing hardware is perfectly capable of Running a proper operating system maintained currently and run on full open source components

Just go to the following Place read learn and adapt

Stop using closed Source operating systems and software; dechain yourself become unslaved

When you program in C++ use GCC when you write text use markdown. Go full platform independent and full OpenSource and remain dechained

Random Astro package of the week is python3-specreduce. The specreduce package aims to provide a data reduction toolkit for optical and infrared spectroscopy, on which applications such as pipeline processes for specific instruments can be built.

The scope of its functionality is limited to basic spectroscopic reduction, with basic image processing steps (such as bias subtraction) instead covered by ccdproc and other packages,

The OSU open source lab is one of those lynchpins for many Projects in FOSS.

Even small projects like @librecast depend on those servers. To be clear we don't host our project infrastructure with them.

But when we do a Librecast release it gets tested on Debian infrastructure to package it for and . Which OSUOSL is a part of.

So if you can spare some cash for this lab, please do so.

Our ecosystem depends on this.
