The File Count Challenge π
γ
Have you ever wondered how many PDFs, images, videos, or particular kind of files you have on your device? It is the time to find out.
I am hereby proud to officially launch a Fedi-wide file count challenge, in exclusive partnership with the 2025-27 class of @xpub@post.lurk.org πΎ
π
How to participate
Go to your main device (not mobile)
Open the terminal
Run find . | grep '.pdf$' -c (on Windows: gci -r | where Name -match '\.pdf$')
Repeat the previous command, replacing βpdfβ with any file format you are interested in sharing. We suggest: jpg, mp3, and png. π
Bonus: html, js, ttf, odt, svg
Take a screenshot of the output
Share the screenshot on the Fediverse, using the #fileCountChallenge hashtag (please, copy-paste the actual text from the terminal in the image description/alt text)
Add your (user)name and results to the scoreboard
π
Bonus: share the story explaining why you have so many/little files for one format.π
Awards
There is a secret prize for the three people who have the most PDFs, JPEGs, and HTMLs. More info to follow.
Boost, share, fork⦠Do whatever you want, but please have fun while doing it.

I was waiting for all of them to be on the Fediverse to tag them all, and mark this moment for posterity:

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the beginning of the Egyptian revolution, in 2011.
Those were the years when Facebook was trying to fool people posing as the good platform empowering oppressed populations.
Look at where we are, now. Platforms showing their real despicable nature.
I truly hope another revolution comes soon, everywhere. This time, we will all be using mesh networks, decentralized protocols, encrypted communication.
Transparency for the powerful, encryption for the masses. (paraphrasing Julian Assange)

I have 20 GB of unknown stuff in /var/lib/flatpak/repo/objects, I hope this is not normalβ¦
How can I free it up?

The inside of the ground floor of Blaak 40, where KvK looks in Rotterdam, looks as neo-liberal as you can expect.
Free coffee and water, open WiFi. There is this sort of tree-like structure in the middle of the atrium? it makes me look like a saint π
Anyway, this place feels exactly the same as Agenzia delle Entrate offices in Italy. Neat, quiet, spacious.

Here stats a semi-ironic, pseudo-serious thread narrating my journey in Dutch bureaucracy.
Todayβs challenge is coming to Rotterdamβs Kamer van Koophandel (KVK), the Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands, to start a sole-entrepreneur business π±
As you can see, I am not terrified. It consoles me to know that @barbs@gamedev.lgbt was here last week and she survived π³
To be clear: I STILL AM ANTICAPITALIST but you gotta pay rent somehow.
