"dracut is a powerful tool used in Fedora, RHEL, and other distributions to create and manage initramfs images—the initial RAM filesystem used during system boot.

Well, another one bites the dust... Code Climate is shutting down and their new replacement service (only upgrade option) with the fascinating strapline "Code With Vibes, Merge With Confidence" does inspire anything but... 🙄

(Been using CC for years and even though it produced a lot of false positives, it generally was a very useful tool which sent me off on several major refactoring journeys over the years, from which not only I benefited as a maintainer, but all users of my libraries/tools did too... c'est la vie...)

#OpenSource #CodeClimate #CI #Refactoring #Tools #ThingUmbrella

We all want to see more people move to a free and open source operating system, but this story shows how those users may one day turn around and contribute to the very projects they use! Awesome to see :)

👋 Hey #FOSS community! Need your wisdom on grant funding...

I've been developing a decentralized chat app that challenges the centralized model - think WhatsApp but with zero servers, complete privacy, and VR capabilities built right into the browser.

🔍 What makes it different:
- Runs entirely in browser (JavaScript/PWA)
- Direct P2P connections via WebRTC
- Industry-grade encryption by default
- Experimental AR/VR shared spaces
- Users own 100% of their data

The project is open-source and functional, but needs funding to:
- Improve security auditing
- Expand mobile platform support
- Develop accessibility features
- Build developer documentation

Has anyone had success with grants for privacy-focused or decentralization projects? Especially interested in orgs that value user empowerment over profit.

Dear friends of the BSD Cafe,

This idea has been in my mind since the very beginning of this adventure, almost two years ago. Over time, several people have suggested it. But until recently, I felt the timing just wasn’t right - for many reasons. Today, I believe it finally is.

So I’m happy to announce a new service:
The BSD Cafe Journal - https://journal.bsd.cafe

At first, I thought I’d use BSSG for it (I even added multi-author support with this in mind), but in the end, it didn’t feel like the right tool for the job.

The idea is to create a multi-author space, with content published on a fairly regular basis. A reference point for news, updates, tutorials, technical articles - a place to inform and connect.
Just like people in Italy used to stop by cafes to read the newspaper and chat about the day’s news, the BSD Cafe Journal aims to be a space for reading, sharing, and staying informed - all in the spirit of the BSD Cafe.

What it’s not:
It’s not here to replace personal blogs, or excellent newsletters like @vermaden 's. And it’s not an aggregator.

What it is:
A place where authors can write original content, share links to posts on their own blogs or elsewhere, publish guides, offer insights, or dive into technical explanations.

The guiding principles are the same as always: positivity, constructive discussion, promoting BSDs and open source in general. No hype (sharing a cool new service is fine, posting non-stop about the latest trend is not), no drama, no politics. The goal is to bring people together, not divide them. To inform, not inflame.
Respect, tolerance, and inclusivity are key. Everyone should feel welcome reading the BSD Cafe Journal - never judged, offended, or excluded.

The platform I’ve chosen is WordPress, for several reasons: it’s portable (runs well on all BSDs), has great built-in role management (contributors, authors, etc.), and - last but not least - supports ActivityPub.
This means every author will have their own identity in the Fediverse (like: @stefano@journal.bsd.cafe ) and can be followed directly, and it’ll also be possible to follow the whole Journal.

Original and educational content is encouraged, but it’s also perfectly fine to link to existing articles elsewhere. Personally, I’ll link my technical posts from ITNotes whenever I publish them there.

The goal is simple: a news-oriented site, rich in content, ad-free, respectful of privacy - all under the BSD Cafe umbrella.

Content coordination will happen in a dedicated Matrix room for authors. There’ll also be a public room for discussing ideas, giving feedback, and sharing suggestions.

Of course, I can’t do this alone. A journal with no content is just an empty shell.
So here’s my call for action:
Who’s ready to lend a hand? If you enjoy writing, explaining, sharing your knowledge - the Journal is waiting for you.

Just wrapped up high school and exploring what's next! You probably know me from Altbot (the accessibility bot that helps make Fedi more inclusive), but I also build terminal tools, AI integrations, and love working on anything that improves user experience.

Looking for opportunities in full-stack dev, UI/UX, or accessibility-focused roles. Strong in Go, Python, C#, Web, 7+ years Linux experience, and passionate about open source. My projects have thousands of users and I'm always thinking about how to make tech more accessible, inclusive, and user friendly for everyone.

It's not cheap to run social media.

I used to self-host my Mastodon.

I set up the instance to heavily federate with others through my followings and relays.

The next day, my VPS reached 90GB of 100GB of storage, and my Mastodon website could not be accessed.

Other people advised me to use a VPS with 1TB or more for Mastodon.

Here is this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News video!

in there, we have a new library embedded in browser extensions scarping everything you view and selling it to AI companies, we have the #Gnome Foundation looking at ways to pay developers, Wayback joining Freedesktop.org, and more:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4HpSKyQ0JE

LibreOffice's codebase is absolutely massive (~50M lines according to cloc?), and it very much got me beat the other day, when I "speedran" a scant 2 bugfixes in 7 hours.

So today, I'm going for a rematch! Let's see if better tools (rr, ctags) and better understanding of #LibreOffice code is going to be enough for me to get a bugfix in under 2 hours for #BugsDoneQuick! :joy:

ETHZ and EPFL announced the release of a Large Language Model (LLM) developed on public infrastructure: Trained on the “Alps” supercomputer at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) in 8B and 70B parameters configurations, using open-source training data, respecting web crawling opt-outs during data acquisition, and natively fluent in over 1000 languages. Quoting: "The model will be fully open: source code and weights will be publicly available, and the training data will be transparent and reproducible".

I don't know how good it's going to be, but if true for me this is the real definition of "open-source" in AI (not the ridiculous, corporate-promiscuous definition by the Open Source Initiative).

👏 @gaebalgom tackled a tricky terminal compatibility issue in PR #282, fixing the fedify node command's favicon display on terminal emulators without truecolor support (#168). His solution elegantly detects terminal capabilities and falls back to 256-color mode when needed—ensuring a great experience across different environments.

🌟 @joonnot enhanced Fedify's #WebFinger functionality in PR #281 by adding a configurable maxRedirection option to the lookupWebFinger() function (#248). He transformed a hardcoded limitation into a flexible, user-customizable parameter while maintaining perfect backward compatibility.

Both delivered thoughtful, well-implemented solutions that showcase the quality of contributions coming from the OSSCA program. Welcome to the Fedify community!

"When developers are allowed to use AI tools, they take 19% longer to complete issues—a significant slowdown that goes against developer beliefs and expert forecasts. This gap between perception and reality is striking: developers expected AI to speed them up by 24%, and even after experiencing the slowdown, they still believed AI had sped them up by 20%."

🎉 Huge shoutout to two amazing contributors from Korea's #OSSCA program who've made excellent contributions to #Fedify!

👏 @gaebalgom tackled a tricky terminal compatibility issue in PR #282, fixing the fedify node command's favicon display on terminal emulators without truecolor support (#168). His solution elegantly detects terminal capabilities and falls back to 256-color mode when needed—ensuring a great experience across different environments.

🌟 @joonnot enhanced Fedify's #WebFinger functionality in PR #281 by adding a configurable maxRedirection option to the lookupWebFinger() function (#248). He transformed a hardcoded limitation into a flexible, user-customizable parameter while maintaining perfect backward compatibility.

Both delivered thoughtful, well-implemented solutions that showcase the quality of contributions coming from the OSSCA program. Welcome to the Fedify community!

"When developers are allowed to use AI tools, they take 19% longer to complete issues—a significant slowdown that goes against developer beliefs and expert forecasts. This gap between perception and reality is striking: developers expected AI to speed them up by 24%, and even after experiencing the slowdown, they still believed AI had sped them up by 20%."

We're seeing a lot of initiatives across Europe and the EU to replace Microsoft services with #Linux and #OpenSource solutions.

This could be massive for Linux and the entire community, so I'm sharing my thoughts on why this is happening, why it's great, but also why it could still very much die down very quickly:

#writers, #blog aficionados, #web enjoyers, #website browsers: lend me your ears! i need help with a big push to get the word out about #writing for GOOD INTERNET magazine's autumn issue! a digital AND physical magazine that ships all over the world, run & contributed to by volunteers! (‼️)

in case you're unaware, GOOD INTERNET covers a lot of different aspects of the #SmallWeb: unplugging from the corporate web, fighting #enshittification, migrating from data-harvesting corpo social media, creating your own personal website, using code and website-building as an art form, federation, and creating websites for fun. the aim is to be approachable for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned #indieweb travelers!

you don't have to be a professional #webdev or a #coding smartypants to write about all the good things happening on "this side" of the web. the idea here is to spread the word about and share thoughts, independent web projects, services, methods, sites, meet-ups, and celebrate the non-corporate web together while making it easier for us to partake and unplug from #bigtech.

📏 looking for 1,000- to 4,000-word articles aimed at website owners and hobbyists, digital (and traditional) #artists, #internet culture enthusiasts, #technology nerds, #socialmedia expatriates, & anyone who wants to unplug from the corporate-owned #web.

A “code of conduct” or “rules” plugin to Mattermost would be dope, and could probably be put to good use by several communities.

In my mind, it would:

1. Add a “report” function to messages, which would alert mods in a private channel

2. Raise the visibility of server rules/Code of Conduct, similar to the rules onboarding in Discord

3. Maybe introduce a mod queue where reported messages (passing a threshold of reports?) are redacted until handled by a mod?

#Mattermost #community #OpenSource

🎉 Big thanks to @2chanhaeng for his first contribution to #Fedify! He implemented the new fedify webfinger command in PR #278, which allows isolated #WebFinger lookups for testing configurations. This addresses the need for developers to test WebFinger functionality without performing comprehensive object retrieval.

The contribution includes:

• A new fedify webfinger <handle> command that accepts @user@domain format handles or URIs
• Clean JSON output of WebFinger JRD results
• Proper error handling for invalid handles and lookup failures
• Complete #CLI integration with help text and usage examples

This was originally filed as issue #260 and marked as a good first issue—perfect for newcomers to learn the codebase structure while contributing meaningful functionality. The PR has been merged and will be included in the upcoming Fedify 1.8.0 release.

We appreciate all first-time contributors who help make Fedify better for the entire #fediverse community. Welcome aboard, ChanHaeng!

How do you lure your kids off iPhones?

Give them MacBooks…running a "cool" version of Linux. Snagged 2 old Airs for just €50 each.

Wiped macOS, & installed @elementary - a clean, distro that feels familiar to macOS users but comes with a lot less bloat.

Now they’ve got "cool" Apple gear, with the the rich world of #Linux that respects their freedom and sparks curiosity.

Idea 6: hosting. Part of the goal here is decentralization, which means no company should run all of these forums. The obvious answer here is #selfhosting and #OpenSource It would be good to have a funding model built in, though. I think this system can be built in a light-weight multi-tenant way so that either people just run their own instance, or somehow commercially deploy to host at a low cost (perhaps making it easy for members to chip in). It should be easy spin up a small $5 VPS and host a few communities there for friends, family or the neighborhood.

25 years ago I launched and ran my very first #OpenSource project, it was #forum software written in Perl named #YaBB — Yet another Bulletin Board. While the original version of this project is more or less dead, some of it still lives on under a fork named Simple Machines Forums that you still can find here and there.

I’m somewhat tempted to reboot the YaBB franchise (perhaps under a better name, I bought some domains) in a model that better fits today’s Big Tech and AI-destroyer mode times.

Let me think this idea through in public a little bit. A thread. 🧵

More good news! Another government is freeing itself from tech giants and vendor lock-in.

Just wrapped up high school and exploring what's next! You probably know me from Altbot (the accessibility bot that helps make Fedi more inclusive), but I also build terminal tools, AI integrations, and love working on anything that improves user experience.

Looking for opportunities in full-stack dev, UI/UX, or accessibility-focused roles. Strong in Go, Python, C#, Web, 7+ years Linux experience, and passionate about open source. My projects have thousands of users and I'm always thinking about how to make tech more accessible, inclusive, and user friendly for everyone.

I'm having a "special" day today so I'll break the cycle and just spread some love.

Someone in my feed said thanks to #foss #developers and I enjoy that sentiment.

Thank you to all who make #opensource software and make this world a little bit better. You are doing important work.

I know money would be great but a sincere thank you is all I have atm.

To everyone using foss software. Maybe spread some love as well. :)

ENISA published guidance on the #NIS2 implementing act for the digital sector. They cover how to apply the NIS2 requirements when it comes to #FOSS, including clarifying that in most cases upstream open source maintainers should not be considered a ‘direct supplier’. There are 37 occurrences of #opensource in the text. Some quotes to follow https://www.enisa.europa.eu/publications/nis2-technical-implementation-guidance

AppImage is a frustrating invention for Linux. It should work like macOS's .app, but it falls short. Getting an app to run and dock always involves tinkering and manually deploying a .desktop item, among other hassles.

I wish I had known about Gear Lever for Gnome earlier. https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/07/gear-lever-appimage-app-for-gnome

Gear Lever makes updating AppImage apps much easier. I prefer .deb packages, but too many apps don't offer them.

After the transformation away from US services and products, it's time to go one step further.

As I have already announced, I will soon be replacing my Pixel 9 with Graphene OS with a Fairphone 6 with /e/OS from Murena.

Although I personally really appreciate Graphene OS and am an avid user, I'm not sure what the future will bring under the fascist Trump. As I said, he can force US companies to hand over data of European users or turn off their services for Europe with the stroke of a pen. Or whatever other stupid things this orange psychopath can think of. Pixel devices from Google are another point.

However, I'm still considering a Framework Laptop 12 for my future laptop because of its sustainability and reparability.

Framework? AN US COMPANY??? Yes, unfortunately there is no European equivalent in this field, but unlike software and internet solutions, I am relatively independent after the purchase. The worst case would be if I could no longer buy current components. But then the Framework would be just like any other computer, which is generally almost impossible to repair or upgrade. But I want to keep that option open.

And I hope - like the rest of the world - that the fascist and criminal spook in the USA will soon be over and the situation there will return to some semblance of normality. Hope dies last...

Excited to share that I've joined #OSSCA (Open Source Software Contribution Academy) as a mentor for the @fedify project!

OSSCA is a national program run by South Korea's NIPA (National IT Industry Promotion Agency) through their Open Source Software Support Center, aimed at fostering the next generation of open source contributors.

We're currently in the process of selecting around 20 mentees who will start contributing to #Fedify once the selection is complete. I've been busy preparing good first issues to help them get started on their open source journey.

Looking forward to working with these new contributors and seeing what amazing things we can build together!

How much does your research depends on closed source software or cloud services ?

This question is not trivial for us researcher, and we should think more about the implications of our usage of IT products.

Many alternative exits to the GAFAM services, and it might be a good time to try and choose Linux.

Kurzer Nachtrag, ich möchte ja auch Lösungen liefern:

Sollte jemand interesse an einer skalierbaren, sicheren und preiswerten Infrastruktur inkl. Chat, Video, Cloud (inkl Collabora), Wiki, Mastodon, sowie Groupware (open XChange) und IDM an alle Dienste interessiert sein, gerne melden. Wir haben dieses System letztes Jahr mit dem Relaunch des NABU-Netz komplett auf open-source Basis für mehrere tausend Personen bereits umgesetzt.
