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!

In case anyone was wondering, yes my project Wordforge is effectively abandoned. I graduated and got a job last year and haven't had the time to work on it. It's a shame really since I really wanted to see something like this on the fediverse, but such is life.
If anyone wants to take over, feel free.

I woke up to a comment so smug, so perfectly soaked in gatekeeping and faux-righteous posturing, it earned its own blog post.
You want freedom? You want GNU/Linux to mean something?
Then maybe start by not telling disabled users to go fuck themselves with a smile.
This commenter thought they were defending "software freedom." What they were really doing was kicking people out of the room. Dismissing accessibility. Mocking effort. Pretending that cruelty is some kind of rite of passage. They quoted Stallman like it was scripture, ignored real-world experience like it was noise, and wrapped it all in condescension dressed as virtue.
I’ve spent over a decade in this ecosystem. Writing patches. Rebuilding broken stacks. Helping blind users boot systems upstream doesn’t even test. I didn’t "just install Arch and whine about the terminal." I lived in it. I survived it. I held it together when maintainers disappeared and no one else gave a damn.
But apparently, because I didn’t call it GNU/Linux™ and because I dared to talk about how this OS chews people up and spits them out, I’m lazy. I’m weak. I should "get a dog."
So I wrote a response. Line by line. No mercy. No euphemisms.
This isn’t just about one comment. This is about every time someone’s been told they don’t belong because they couldn’t learn fast enough, code well enough, or survive long enough. It’s about everyone who was pushed out while the gatekeepers patted themselves on the back for "preserving the spirit of free software."
You want a free system? Start by making it livable. Because freedom that demands you crawl bleeding through a broken bootloader isn’t freedom. It’s abandonment dressed in ideology.
And if this kind of gatekeeping is your idea of community?
You can keep it.

Something that’s been bothering me for years in the security world: why do researchers demand bug bounties for vulnerabilities in open source projects, when the very contributors maintaining and fixing those issues get nothing, just goodwill?
It feels deeply unfair. The burden falls on unpaid maintainers, yet bounty hunters get rewarded. If you want a paid bounty, maybe help fund the people who actually fix the mess too.

I agree with this article that the Linux community has been really upping their efforts to get more people onboard with using Linux as their daily driver.

It's great to see this gradual shift where we are moving away from using ideological statements to convince people on why they "should" use Linux to now emphasizing the practical benefits of making the switch.

"Data Rescue Project Launches New Portal."
https://www.datarescueproject.org/data-rescue-project-portal/
The Data Rescue Project (#DRP) just launched the DRP Portal to supersede its spreadsheet-based Data Rescue Tracker.
"As of June 2025, DRP volunteers and other organizations have rescued over 1,100 public datasets from 80+ government offices…Built by volunteers with support from New America and using JKAN, a lightweight, backend-free open data portal, the DRP Portal is a centralized, searchable hub, integrating datasets from multiple rescue efforts such as Public Environmental Data Partners, Safe Guarding Research & Culture, ICPSR, and more. The Portal makes it easy to discover rescued datasets by government offices sharing the data, topic, and more."
Here's the portal itself.

Any open source projects out there using Nextcloud Talk for real-time chat?
I’ve been researching and testing a whole bunch of solutions for open source projects while explicitly evaluating them on their fit for something pretty cool I’m working on. The gist is supporting an inviting, easy-to-join open source community of mixed-age members (including teens and adults). Due to this, safety and moderation tooling are extremely important. And so is price!

It's true that open source is made up of community members coming together to make software solutions in a collaborative and open way.
It is also true that open source is defined by a bunch of licenses.
The licenses may not be the fun part, but being organized about what parts of your project are under which license is important for all the rest of it to work!
Thanks to the @fsfe we have an easier way to manage that. :)

Today I have the distinct honor of representing @Mastodon as we are acknowledged by the Digital Public Goods Alliance during the United Nations Office for Digital and Emerging Technologies's Open Source Week.
This news comes at a time when it has never been more imperative for public institutions to communicate directly with their constituents. Rarely in history have we trusted the truth and trusted each other less than we do today. Mastodon provides the infrastructure for organizations to maintain sovereignty over their digital presence, and empowers them to reach out to citizens without algorithmic barriers or paid promotion.
Recognition of Mastodon as a digital public good validates our commitment to building transparent, ethical technology that serves people over profit. Because truly, our values drive everything we do. We believe that true digital freedom comes from the ability of communities to connect, learn, and play together, while preserving each community's right to self-determination.
This recognition belongs to our entire community: every instance admin, developer, and fedizen who believes in building a more human-centered internet. Together, we're showing the world that social media can be transparent, ethical, and community-driven. We're proud to be part of a movement that puts people first and proves that genuine connections flourish when communities have the freedom to govern themselves.
Thank you 💞

Es wäre wünschenswert, wenn es in Europa eine Bewegung hin zu Open-Source und heimischer IT gäbe.
Warum auch stetig Milliarden an Lizenzgebühren in die USA überweisen?
Das Geld und die Wertschöpfung können wir genauso gut auch in Europa haben!

new release of #Fedialgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, counts the number of times each hashtag appears in your timeline even if people don't use a "#" character to give you a better sense of what people are talking about in the Fediverse.
there's a little bit of art vs. science here because some strings are disqualified from this kind of counting (e.g. a word like "the" should not be counted even if some maniac decided to make it a hashtag) so let me know if you see any weirdly high counts.

I've been reflecting deeply on my personal values and ethics. Whenever I discuss enshittification and surveillance capitalism, someone inevitably points out my continued use of Meta platforms, GitHub, and other services. There's this persistent notion that if you're not completely "all in" on ethical digital choices, you're a hypocrite.
I don't think the blame game gets us anywhere. While some in the Fediverse might view my reasoning as excuses, they're genuine considerations. My guiding principle is simple: If something doesn't make me smile and has too many downsides, I don't do it.
Here's a summary of my life choices aligned with my values:
✅ Car-free lifestyle: Walking and running everywhere with my family. We use public transport or get rides for longer distances.
✅ Sobriety: Five years sober, valuing optimal brain function. It took 17 years to understand alcohol's harm to oneself and others.
❌ Plant-based diet: Challenging, but mostly avoiding red meat with regular vegan days at home.
✅ X (Twitter): Completely deleted due to API closures, paid features, hate speech, and Musk's problematic leadership.
✅ WhatsApp: Deleted because of surveillance, AI, ads, and privacy concerns.
❌ Facebook: My personal account was deleted by the platform without any reason given (thank them), though my business still uses it - a "necessary evil" if you want to make profit.
❌ GitHub: Too integrated with work, CI, and organizations to completely abandon. How do you move thousands of repositories that are not up to you?
❌ AI: Using local, private Open WebUI, but AI is ubiquitous and hard to escape. It's in every organizational app and not up to me.
❌ Instagram: Staying for memes and joy, despite knowing Meta's involvement.
❌ Threads: Mixed feelings, might quit or moderate from Mastodon if EU integration ever happens.
❌ LinkedIn: A "necessary evil" as a business owner.
❌ Google: Impossible to completely disconnect due to long-standing business ties.
❌ Bluesky: Rarely used, find the platform uninteresting. Might quit in some point.
✅ Cloud and files: Self-hosting Nextcloud and other infrastructure.
✅ Privacy: Using ungoogled-chromium, custom DNS, comprehensive tracker blocking.
✅ Operating system: Primarily Linux, with a gaming PC and Mac.
So, am I doing enough? I'm trying my best to make conscious, ethical digital choices while acknowledging the complexities of modern tech ecosystems.

This week we saw lots of FUD about #Matrix, especially from Wire, who may feel threatened by news that Germany is mulling a proposal to double down on Matrix in a big way.
It's not the first time a single vendor open source project, which may be under an open source license but is unilaterally controlled by a single for-profit company, has resorted to desperate measures to attack their community-driven competitors, and it won’t be the last time.

France quietly deployed 100,000+ Linux machines in their police force - GendBuntu is a silent EU tech success story
Well done. Let us get free from Microsoft spyware OS. They are not trustworthy vendors, and all taxpayers' money should go to fund open-source apps/software and not to Bill Gates' fortune.

From Reddit post: France quietly deployed 100,000+ Linux machines in their police force - GendBuntu is a silent EU tech success story I wanted to spotlight a quietly massive success story in European digital sovereignty: GendBuntu — France’s custom Ubuntu distribution used by the National Gendarmerie. The GendBuntu project derives from Microsoft's decision to end the development of Windows XP Back in 2005, France’s Gendarmerie began switching from Microsoft products to open-source software — starting with OpenOffice. Fast forward to 2024, and GendBuntu(Linux) is now running on 97% of their workstations (over 103,000 computers!). France has shown what’s possible when a government actually backs open-source, in-house, and EU-grown solutions. More countries should follow suit.

The EU has been heavily involved in #opensource for years – but planned changes to the flagship funding programme are ruffling some feathers, especially because they have remained vague for months.
@netzpolitik_feed is publishing an internal document that at least gives a few hints to where the journey might be going, especially in terms of money. Also being debated: Changes to procurement and a new legal form for open source organisations.

“Red Hat does 70% of the commits on the Linux kernel because it makes a shitload of money from Red Hat Linux. We need to remember that free software is free as in speech, not free as in beer. We can build #OpenSource communities, but we shouldn't build open products, because that's how providers don't have anything to sell and thus no money” to maintain the software. “We need a Buy European act to ensure SMEs have a share of all 🇪🇺 public procurement.” — @waxzce from @clevercloud

“The problem with having an operational stack is that not everything can be a product, and if we only want to fund products we are missing the infrastructure part. Not every #OpenSource project can have a viable business model.”
@senficon: “This is right, and exactly what the @sovtechfund is addressing. In the end, maybe not every #FLOSS product can have a business model and not everyone wants to become an entrepreneur, that doesn't mean they don't provide tremendous value to society and economy

“They might be the best developer in the world, if they get hit by a bus, the software will still stop being developed.” — @senficon making the case for #DigitalCommons over plain #OpenSource (my rephrasing) 😉

“We should start by recognising that #OpenSource is a public good and has the same form of problems as other public goods: you need to synchronise many actors.” “Most #FLOSS projects don't have a shortage of information about what should be improved, but lack resources to implement the improvements.” — @senficon
Thanks for stating the second part: I am personally a bit tired with ideas being thrown at me of crowdsourcing a roadmap or similar. It’s a lie. Do it or pay, don’t suggest.

Just listening to the speech of the @EUCommission's DG Connect Director Thibaut Kleiner, who celebrates #FOSS and the global ecosystem of #opensource developers as well as the #NGI programme but somehow his convictions seem to not be enough for the Commission to massively scale up investments in the #digitalcommons. What am I missing? 🤔

“Why don't we have a label for cloud providers that would redistribute a part of their revenue to the #OpenSource projects that they deploy, and make that label required for 🇪🇺 procurement? There are these companies that make a shitload of money off the work of others.” — @robin

Today I have the distinct honor of representing @Mastodon as we are acknowledged by the Digital Public Goods Alliance during the United Nations Office for Digital and Emerging Technologies's Open Source Week.
This news comes at a time when it has never been more imperative for public institutions to communicate directly with their constituents. Rarely in history have we trusted the truth and trusted each other less than we do today. Mastodon provides the infrastructure for organizations to maintain sovereignty over their digital presence, and empowers them to reach out to citizens without algorithmic barriers or paid promotion.
Recognition of Mastodon as a digital public good validates our commitment to building transparent, ethical technology that serves people over profit. Because truly, our values drive everything we do. We believe that true digital freedom comes from the ability of communities to connect, learn, and play together, while preserving each community's right to self-determination.
This recognition belongs to our entire community: every instance admin, developer, and fedizen who believes in building a more human-centered internet. Together, we're showing the world that social media can be transparent, ethical, and community-driven. We're proud to be part of a movement that puts people first and proves that genuine connections flourish when communities have the freedom to govern themselves.
Thank you 💞

Does it make sense to compare #OpenSource to water utilities? Is a metaphor folks will understand? Is physical infrastructure like bridges better? Governments generally find $$ to repair the physical infrastructure they are responsible for, why is digital different?

Something that’s been bothering me for years in the security world: why do researchers demand bug bounties for vulnerabilities in open source projects, when the very contributors maintaining and fixing those issues get nothing, just goodwill?
It feels deeply unfair. The burden falls on unpaid maintainers, yet bounty hunters get rewarded. If you want a paid bounty, maybe help fund the people who actually fix the mess too.

I really dislike all these distros moving their support to Discord and not installing an online, searchable forum. If it's not searchable via a search engine and free to read, the answer does not exist in my book.

@hosford42 I have copies of all my public repositories on GitHub still, because on GitHub they're discoverable. But GitHub is no longer a safe place for #OpenSource people; it's increasingly an engine of exploitation, and it's increasingly a place where malefactors are tolerated.

Response has been incredible! Flutter developers, legal experts, and lawyer connections joining the team.
Still looking for:
- Go backend developer (video calling infrastructure, real-time connections)
- Outreach coordinator (connecting with pro bono legal organizations, finding hosting/infrastructure funding)

AI computer-programming tools
I suspect that we wouldn't have AI computer-programming tools right now if it weren't for there being so much open-source software in existence.
...
This isn't meant to be a negative or positive statement towards either. Just that if a history of AI computer-programming tools is ever written, it should talk about open-source software and its associated social-movement.

A very good analysis by @bert_hubert of what #OpenSource and #DigitalCommons are too often missing to compete for usage in government and large companies.
https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/what-the-open-world-must-do-better/
The length of that list, as it is all very relevant, just goes to show how much #DigitalSovereignty won’t be achieved without massive funding and other forms of support: the level of professionalisation necessary simply cannot be reached by free labour, because it's not fun anymore!

I find myself once again looking for a good solution to a common problem: as an open source project, hosting documentation/text-based resources as Markdown files in a git repository makes a lot of sense. Buuuut as a collaborative project that wants to invite explicitly less-technical people into the fold, using git and Markdown has a fairly high gatekeeping factor.
How is this not a solved problem? :(

🌟 Exciting News in Digital Freedom! 🌟
Starting next month, Denmark's Minister of Digitization, Caroline Stage, plans to phase out Microsoft and other tech giants' programs within her ministry. This bold move aims to reduce reliance on U.S.-based tech companies and embrace open-source alternatives.
Half of the ministry's employees will transition to a new computer system, replacing Windows with open-source solutions. Specifically, they will adopt LibreOffice, a free and open-source office suite, as an alternative to Microsoft's Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
"I want to take the lead and try it out. When the opportunity presented itself, it would be crazy not to seize it. I am very much looking forward to seeing how it works in practice," says Minister Stage.
This initiative aligns with Denmark's broader strategy to achieve digital sovereignty and reduce dependence on large tech corporations. The goal is for the entire ministry to be free of Microsoft by the fall. However, if the transition faces significant challenges, there is flexibility to revert temporarily.
The push for digital sovereignty is gaining momentum, especially in light of current global dynamics and concerns over data protection. Political parties like the Red-Green Alliance and the Alternative have also voiced support for reducing ties with American tech giants.
Let's celebrate this shift towards freedom, collaboration, and innovation in the tech landscape! 🎉

Those self-hosting Mattermost for open source community: how is that working out—especially cost-wise?
Paying Mattermost directly seems to be cost-prohibitive for a large open source community ($10/user/seat??), but it’s not clear to me what the actual infra costs of self-hosting could be. But free solutions like Slack and Discord are no-goes due to certain policies and a lack of safety protections we need.
Boosts welcome for exposure! 🙏

Das ist ein wichtiges Zeichen. Das dänische Digitalisierungsministerium wendet sich von Microsoft ab. Bis zum Herbst soll die Abkehr von Microsoft vollzogen sein. Diese Entscheidung ist nicht zu unterschätzen, wenn man bedenkt, dass Dänemark bei der Digitalisierung Spitzenreiter ist. Das sendet ein wichtiges Signal.

The picture is divided into three stacks, the first one has 2024 and the logos of companies that were redrawn in the colors of the LGBT community (Apple, ibm, hp and others). The second column has the same logos but regular ones, without LGBT colors and the name of the column is 2025. And in the third column there is an inscription “Real support doesn't dim” and the logos of the opensource projects that painted them for the Pride month (elementaryOS, Raspberry Pi, KDE, GNome and other).

Those self-hosting Mattermost for open source community: how is that working out—especially cost-wise?
Paying Mattermost directly seems to be cost-prohibitive for a large open source community ($10/user/seat??), but it’s not clear to me what the actual infra costs of self-hosting could be. But free solutions like Slack and Discord are no-goes due to certain policies and a lack of safety protections we need.
Boosts welcome for exposure! 🙏

Inviting the #Fediverse to join another #Jabber / #XMPP channel I co-moderate - the Personal Protective Equipment channel. #PPE
Protect yourself from hazardous substances, #pollution, diseases ( #CovidIsNotOver !), #surveillance, police oppression, and other threats. Or maybe just look cool and cyberpunk.
Discuss cloth #masks, surgical masks, filtering facepiece (FFP) #respirators, reusable #elastomeric respirators (half-face or full-face), source control, powered air purifying respirators (PAPRs), and more!
Discussion of #EyeProtection, #HearingProtection, #HeadProtection and similar also welcome!
You can join without a client or an account. Just visit chat.queer-spark.org/#/guest?join=ppe@conference.queer-spark.org
But for the best experience, I recommend using a proper client. The easiest way is to install Quicksy or Prāv, if you don’t mind using your phone number.
Otherwise, install one or more of the following, and use them to register an account on conversations.im (see providers.xmpp.net or compliance.conversations.im/old for more server recommendations) -
- Monocles Chat, Cheogram, or Conversations on modern Android devices. (They’re paid on app stores, free of cost on F-Droid)
- Yaxim or Bruno on old/low-end Android devices
- Monal or Siskin on iOS
- Gajim on Linux, Windows, and Mac
- Monal on Mac
- Movim or ConverseJS in the browser
- Poezio or Profanity in the terminal
- Convo on KaiOS/JioPhone
…once you’re set up, open this link to join the channel - invite.joinjabber.org/#ppe@conference.queer-spark.org?join (or join ppe@conference.queer-spark.org from your client)
If you’re new to Jabber/XMPP (e.g. coming from #WhatsApp #Matrix #IRC #Signal #Telegram #Discord etc), you may like to read The Quick and Easy Guide to Jabber/XMPP

Many thanks to openSUSE for being a silver sponsor for Flock to Fedora!
Ubuntu, Arch, and others get a lot of love, but if you're looking for a different distro to try next, consider openSUSE! They have many different versions to suit different needs, like Tumbleweed for rolling release fans and Leap for those who want stable releases.
Also their mascot is a chameleon name Geeko, c'mon dude

So many CentOS contributors overlap with Fedora that you never know who is working on both projects. We're grateful that they take the time to start a change in Fedora Linux to receive it upstream later, rather than making changes directly in CentOS Stream for everything. :)

I was always an anarchist, abstractly, but in many ways Google was my political awakening."

We can say all kinds of great things about Lenovo's work in Fedora - how they collaborate with the community in our spaces, how they work with developers for testing or finding bugs, and more.
But the most important thing is for you to buy their laptops. If you're thinking about buying a new ThinkPad, look for the Linux config on their website and buy it there. It sends the signal that people are interested in preloaded Linux hardware.

Did you use Fedora 40 at one point? Perhaps you didn't know, but that's the version of Fedora that went on to become Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10!
And RHEL 10 is what you can keep on counting on for 10 years.
Maybe that's too long to not upgrade on your laptop, but it's great for businesses who need reliability and flexibility for their infrastructure.

#ReleaseMonday — New version (v0.27.0) of https://thi.ng/genart-api, a platform-independent extensible API for browser-based computational/algorithmic/generative art projects:
This version features an overhaul of the platform provided PRNG (pseudo-random number generator) handling and makes it easier to create multiple PRNGs for artworks which require/desire them...
Related section in the README:
https://github.com/thi-ng/genart-api/blob/main/README.md#determinism--prng-provision
Also, just as a reminder, the project has:
- no external dependencies
- adapters for 3 art platforms (EditArt, fxhash, Layer)
- 6 example projects
- testing/dev sandbox with two parameter editors
- WebAssembly bindings & demo (currently for #Zig only)
Happy coding! :)

Show me the Pull Requests.
I keep hearing #AI boosters / talking heads claiming that #LLMs have transformed software development, "it's not just about prototyping - AI is writing solid production code", etc.
So here's a challenge:
Share some AI-derived pull requests that deal with non-obvious corner cases or non-trivial bugs from mature #opensource projects. I'll also accept high-quality documentation that isn't just the sort of wasted space & slop that I always tell juniors not to write.

✨ European open source deserves the spotlight
Choosing local, open alternatives means you stay in control, not some global megacorp.
If digital sovereignty matters to you (and it should), now’s the time to support the ecosystem.
We’ve put together a list of EU-built tools that respect your rights and your data.

Why are companies choosing XWiki over proprietary tools?
Here are 3 quick reasons: 🧵
1️⃣ You own your data. XWiki is open source — no lock-in, full control.
2️⃣ It adapts to you. Fully customizable to fit your knowledge base needs.
3️⃣ Teamwork made easy. Built-in versioning, commenting & access control.
Your knowledge deserves better.

Considering that both #XMPP and #Matrix re-invented #decentralized communication while #email was already there, makes #deltachat more interesting.
The fact that DC didn't invent a new protocol for #InstantMessaging and just used the protocol which was already there, and also that how far has it gone, is mind blowing.
At first when I was chatting with @treefit, I already was developing a Matrix client(#chooj) for #KaiOS and it was the only decentralized IM which I was using and investing resources into. I was skeptical but then I thought it would be a good idea to invest into DeltaChat, as well as Matrix. His argument, of course, wasn't good. He was arguing that we need multiple options in the case one of decentralized IMs fail. However this convinced me to give DC a try.
But now, I see that DC has very unique advantages no other messenger has. Their moto is "playing the long term" game. Unlike Matrix which suddenly exploded, DC moves very slowly. As an advantage, DC is much more consistent, hassle free, has less bugs(in my experience) and has better UI/UX than many Matrix clients. But it has got several disadvantages. Matrix has tons more features which DC hasn't got or has added them just recently such as editing messages and reactions. And it is not yet suitable for public groups, like the ones we've got in the Matrix network.
Overall, if you want secure chat with friends or family or other people you trust, DeltaChat is a very good option and the experience is very good. And I haven't seen something like #webxdc in any other IM. However if you want something like #Discord guilds for a community, Matrix is the way to go.
BTW, DC currently lacks funding, thanks to what #Trump did with #OpenTechnologyFund(#OTF). If you can help in anyway, financial or otherwise, it will be extra valuable at this point.
Edit:
BTW, here are websites of webxdc and DC:

zizmor 1.9.0 is released!
this is not a very big release in terms of visible features, but it comes with a handful of bugfixes and a lot of internal changes. in particular, the `template-injection` audit should both be faster overall *and* more correct/sensitive to true findings, thanks to a significant internal refactor.

Organic Maps è stata forkata, nasce CoMaps a seguito di preoccupazioni sulla governance del progetto
The major difference is about how the project will be run, as a community. The principles are at the core of how the project is run. A few examples already, the community voted on the project name, and selected CoMaps, they voted on the branding color, and next is creating and selecting the logo.

#RTFM is great and all but when a project's #docs are riddled with incorrect / outdated config field names and other stuff, it's a huge waste of time.
Please check the accuracy of your docs! Do a fresh install of your project and follow your own steps and copy paste your own example configs if you can.
Remember that many users will not file an issue, and simply assume your project is hopeless, especially if it doesn't have a big following.

By using #foss video editors I gave up color grading that was capable of believable film emulation (via Resolve and its third party plugins).
But it's even more disturbing that none of these foss apps support 10bit h.264/5. Let alone Raw. This kind of makes them useless to me, as most of my cameras record as such. In fact, most new non-phone cameras record as such by default.

In a move that surprises absolutely noone, GitHub now requires users to login in order to browse public repositories (including open source projects). After a few (~10) requests, you get blocked (I can confirm). In order to fight AI scrapers, I guess.
So, GitHub decided to blanket-limit access to open source projects as a defense against the very scourge that they(r parent company) unleashed on the world.
I won't be hypocrite: it's a bit embarrassing, but undeniably satisfying to say "told you so". I moved away from GitHub long ago and I moved all my stuff to Codeberg instead. And so happy I did!
Next step: radicle.xyz maybe?

Could Linux replace Microsoft at university?
I spoke up in a meeting about the push for open-source tools and told them that, if they’re serious, it’s time to drop Microsoft entirely. I suggested switching to Linux instead, and surprisingly, the manager was all for it! Fingers crossed that this change might actually be coming.

Is there an open source license that *explicitly* bans any use of "AI"? Please link an example!
Are there open source projects which *explicitly* ban any use of "AI" through a code of conduct? Please link an example! (Servo mentioned already)
Are there projects foss or not using other means to ban any "AI"? Links please!
Yes, this is a potentially broad and dynamic subject, any non-answers will be ignored, but thank you always.

Inviting the #Fediverse to join another #Jabber / #XMPP channel I co-moderate - the #BlackLivesMatter channel! Another initiative by the wonderful @maskedwitch
You can join without a client or an account! Just visit - https://chat.queer-spark.org/#/guest?join=blm@conference.queer-spark.org
But for the best experience, I recommend using a proper client. The easiest way is to install Quicksy or Prāv, if you don’t mind using your phone number. Alternatively, install one or more of the following, and use them to register an account on conversations.im (see https://providers.xmpp.net or https://compliance.conversations.im/old for more server recommendations) -
- Monocles Chat, Cheogram, or Conversations on modern Android devices (They’re paid on app stores, free of cost on F-Droid)
- Yaxim or Bruno on old/low-end Android devices
- Monal or Siskin on iOS
- Gajim on Linux and Windows
- Monal on Mac
- Movim or ConverseJS in the browser
- Poezio or Profanity in the terminal
- Convo on KaiOS/JioPhone
…when you’re set up, open this link to join the channel! https://invite.joinjabber.org/#blm@conference.queer-spark.org?join
If you’re new to XMPP (e.g. coming from #WhatsApp #Matrix #IRC #Signal #Telegram #Discord etc), this guide has everything you need to get started - https://contrapunctus.codeberg.page/the-quick-and-easy-guide-to-xmpp.html

Had a wonderful time today at our second FediDev KR #sprint (@sprints.fedidev.kr) gathering at Turing's Apple (@TuringAppleDev) in #Seoul!
We spent the day contributing to various #fediverse open source projects including @fedify, @hollo, and Hackers' Pub. It was fantastic to see the community come together to build and improve tools for the decentralized social web.
Our participants made some great contributions, and you can read all about what we accomplished in today's blog post.
Looking forward to our next sprint!

My goodness, what a powerful talk this is.
Didn't think I could admire what @shanselman does for the tech community more. I was wrong ❤️
Come for the laughs. Stay for the tears.
Learn, Change, then change the world... 🤓

I have posted about this before, but wanted to re-iterate how much in love I am with FediAlgo:
I’m currently on paternity leave so have around half an hour per day for social. That is of course far from enough to keep up with a chronological timeline like mine, and previously with Mastodon the FOMO was real.
Now I go to FediAlgo and I feel I got an overview over what’s interesting in that day. It’s also immensely customisable, but the defaults do a decent job for me.
If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend you try it out. You can try it out on my personal playground at https://fedialgo.thms.uk or on the maintainer’s official website at https://michelcrypt4d4mus.github.io/fedialgo_demo_app_foryoufeed/

Nothing coming in on #mutualaid since Monday makes me worried. I am so very grateful to those who can afford to #help, but yeah I need to ask again because the debts are bigger than that ^^;
Please send funds, I shall return the favour by dodging bankruptcy and utter ruination of all I am aiming to do for you all, and by trying to make the process interesting enough that it feels at least a little worthwhile to you.

If someone were to invest development resources into the Open Source ecosystem right now, improvements to which area would benefit the user experience across all device form factors (desktop, laptop, mobile etc.) the most? You can name both individual applications, libraries and subsystems as well as broader topics like e.g. "messaging".

Oh joy github is tightly integrating more LLM features that encourage people browsing projects to do drive by vibe coding.
The new features have no optout and are not optin. GitHub is encouraging users to submit bug reports fully written by AI and to fix bug reports using fully AI written PRs.
A lot of maintainers of open source projects big and small really do not want this turned on by default.

Making Video Games in 2025 (without an engine) by #NoelBerry
https://noelberry.ca/posts/making_games_in_2025/
I agree with a lot of the text, but most of all with this:
"Finally, to wrap all this up ... I no longer use Windows to develop my games (aside from testing). I feel like this is in line with my general philosophy around using open source, cross-platform tools and libraries. I have found Windows increasingly frustrating to work with, their business practices gross, and their OS generally lacking. I grew up using Windows, but I switched to Linux full time around 3 years ago. And frankly, for programming video games, I have not missed it at all. It just doesn't offer me anything I can't do faster and more elegantly than on Linux."

If you contribute in some way to GNOME, are you already a GNOME Foundation member? If not, you should apply ASAP: https://foundation.gnome.org/membership/
Once you do (or if you’re already a member), don’t forget to VOTE in the upcoming Foundation elections!
The GNOME Foundation Board of Directors is elected by Foundation members. If you want to influence how the Foundation is run, one of the most effective things you can do is to become a member and vote.

I don't agree with everything in this article, but it's a good read. I'm actually of many opinions and it might require a blog post to get more in-depth, but give it a look if you care about open source software.

“The big vision is to move past the reliance on any single country’s investment in this core life sciences infrastructure: It’s not to have a duplicative, parallel structure in Germany, nor to simply transplant a centralized system from the US to Germany. The goal is a fully #OpenSource, #federated, safety net, embedded within the international community, with a strong global network of support.”

You don't trust anyone else—not billionaire-run social networks, not instances managed by strangers with moderation policies that might separate you from your friends and favorite accounts.
So you've decided it's time to create your own instance, whether for yourself, your family, or a small community.
But you're unsure how to do it! You're not tech-savvy, and you're worried it won't work, that you'll fail, or that you won't be able to secure your new instance properly.
Fortunately, some companies now offer to set up an instance for you and handle all the technical aspects: installation, system updates, security, and more. All you need to do is manage it and enjoy it.
At least, that's the promise. 🙂
The website https://joinfediverse.wiki/Hosting_an_instance lists some companies currently offering this service. It also provides a guide to help you choose the best host for your needs and outlines the questions you should consider.
From there, it's up to you to research the prices and terms of the companies you're interested in.
Has anyone here used the services from any of these companies? Is it really easy for non-technical people to install and manage an instance?

Someone should tell PM Carney to ensure the Canadian government IT structure moves away from US vendors promptly. Investing in open source solutions and even creating .ca specific versions would be a good idea whenever possible. Until that part is done, see if EU alternatives could be used.

Internally debating whether I should pick up a #ThinkPad T43 and using it as my main #NetBSD machine. Currently I have an X260 running #Slackware and an X1 Carbon 6th gen running #CRUX and #Debian but I don't have a machine I can dedicate solely to NetBSD. I also got my Raspberry Pi 4 running #SlackwareARM. I've always just had to run NetBSD in a VM, but I don't wish to anymore. Is it a worthwhile endeavor?

In a move that surprises absolutely noone, GitHub now requires users to login in order to browse public repositories (including open source projects). After a few (~10) requests, you get blocked (I can confirm). In order to fight AI scrapers, I guess.
So, GitHub decided to blanket-limit access to open source projects as a defense against the very scourge that they(r parent company) unleashed on the world.
I won't be hypocrite: it's a bit embarrassing, but undeniably satisfying to say "told you so". I moved away from GitHub long ago and I moved all my stuff to Codeberg instead. And so happy I did!

git-next: 🔥 New release v2025.5.0 - Refactoring and isolating features
🧩 git-next: trunk-based development manager
🦀 Written in Rust
⭐ Repo: https://codeberg.org/kemitix/git-next
What's New
- Reimplement git operations to use git2/libgit2
- Renamed features:
forgejo -> forge-forgejo
github -> forge-github
- Extracted desktop and email notification support into non-defaults features;
notify-desktop
notify-email
This a significant update to migrate from gix to git2 for git operations. This allows us to drop the gix crate and the need to shelling-out to git for operations that gix doesn't support.
Breaking Change
If you are build from source (e.g. cargo install) and use either email or desktop notifications in your configuration file, you will need to add the appropriate feature, notify-desktop and/or notify-email. If you don't the config file will not be accepted.
The docker images are built with all features enabled.
Install
📦 cargo install git-next@2025.5.0
📦 cargo install git-next@2025.5.0 --features notify-desktop,notify-email
🐋 docker pull codeberg.org/kemitix/git-next:v2025.5.0
Run UI in docker
docker run --rm -p 8092:8092 \
-u $(id -u):$(id -g) \
-it \
-v $PWD:/app \
codeberg.org/kemitix/git-next:v2025.5.0 \

Join me at @devconf_cz this summer in Brno, Czech Republic.
#WebComponents are a widespread and proven technology for developing browser-native UIs. A number of new and upcoming features like import attributes, reference targets, and declarative custom elements make web components even more attractive as a part of your front end stack. In this talk we'll explore some of those new APIs from a web development, #accessibility, and architectural perspective and see how they help your community, #OpenSource project, or organization improve performance and accessibility, reduce development time, avoid costly technical debt, and boost engineering talent. If you are a developer, project manager, or technology recruiter, this talk will inform you about the state of the art in front-end web technologies.

@TerryHancock@realsocial.life
Does anyone have recommendations for a good book on the *process* of working with open source teams on software development?
I'm self-taught, and though I've done it for work, I've not been formally a "programmer".
And It always feels like I missed a meeting or something.
I know OF such things as version control, forges, bug triage, code review, and pull requests. But my grasp of actually doing these things is very shaky.

Join me at @devconf_cz this summer in Brno, Czech Republic.
#WebComponents are a widespread and proven technology for developing browser-native UIs. A number of new and upcoming features like import attributes, reference targets, and declarative custom elements make web components even more attractive as a part of your front end stack. In this talk we'll explore some of those new APIs from a web development, #accessibility, and architectural perspective and see how they help your community, #OpenSource project, or organization improve performance and accessibility, reduce development time, avoid costly technical debt, and boost engineering talent. If you are a developer, project manager, or technology recruiter, this talk will inform you about the state of the art in front-end web technologies.

Wow.
An excellent post from a blind screen reader user, on how bad accessibility is on Linux (edit: the poster is on Mastodon as well: @fireborn)
https://fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/i-want-to-love-linux-it-doesnt-love-me-back-post-1-built-for-control-but-not-for-people/
It is a fucking shame. And it is pure neglect, as pointed out in the blog post.
Hot take: a new version of open source software should not release before accessibility is fixed. It should be treated as a show stopper, because it actually is for people with a disability.

All of these are based on images and dominant colors have been extracted via this tool below and then partially hand edited. The SVG swatches were generated via a custom tool (included in the project repo).
The package provides accessors for obtaining themes as CSS hex colors, RGB or LCH tuples. Themes can also be programmatically selected/filtered by a number of composable criteria (examples in the readme)...

I’ve written before about what I’d do if I ran Bluesky or Mastodon. But what if I started from scratch? What would it look like to build a new open social platform - one that's private-by-default, human-centered, and sustainable from day one?
Here’s the blueprint I’d follow: https://werd.io/2025/if-i-started-fresh

✔️End vendor lock-in cycles
✔️Strengthen data sovereignty
✔️Create local tech jobs
✔️Support FLOSS innovation
XWiki, CryptPad and other open-source solutions prove alternatives exist, they just need proper funding.

git-next: 🔥 New release v2025.5.0 - Refactoring and isolating features
🧩 git-next: trunk-based development manager
🦀 Written in Rust
⭐ Repo: https://codeberg.org/kemitix/git-next
What's New
- Reimplement git operations to use git2/libgit2
- Renamed features:
forgejo -> forge-forgejo
github -> forge-github
- Extracted desktop and email notification support into non-defaults features;
notify-desktop
notify-email
This a significant update to migrate from gix to git2 for git operations. This allows us to drop the gix crate and the need to shelling-out to git for operations that gix doesn't support.
Breaking Change
If you are build from source (e.g. cargo install) and use either email or desktop notifications in your configuration file, you will need to add the appropriate feature, notify-desktop and/or notify-email. If you don't the config file will not be accepted.
The docker images are built with all features enabled.
Install
📦 cargo install git-next@2025.5.0
📦 cargo install git-next@2025.5.0 --features notify-desktop,notify-email
🐋 docker pull codeberg.org/kemitix/git-next:v2025.5.0
Run UI in docker
docker run --rm -p 8092:8092 \
-u $(id -u):$(id -g) \
-it \
-v $PWD:/app \

Skype, one of the pioneers in internet telephony, has officially ended its support on May 5, 2025. While it was not perfect, Skype held a special place for many as their first experience with online calling. As we bid farewell to Skype, it's important to look ahead at the alternatives that can fill the void. Here are some free and open-source options that can replace Skype seamlessly:
Jitsi
Switch to Jitsi, the free and open-source video conferencing tool. Here's why Jitsi is a great choice:
- Cross-Platform: Jitsi works on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, making it accessible to everyone.
- Easy Sharing: Share your screen, files, and even collaborate on documents in real-time.
- Rich Media Support: Jitsi supports high-quality video and audio, ensuring a smooth and engaging experience.
Get started with Jitsi, visit https://jitsi.org/
Matrix (Element)

- Interoperability: Matrix can bridge with other communication platforms, making it versatile.
- End-to-End Encryption: Ensure your communications are secure with built-in encryption.
- Cross-Platform: Available on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Learn more about Matrix and Element at https://element.io/
Session
Session is a decentralized messaging app that emphasizes privacy and security. It uses the Oxen network for secure communication and does not require a phone number or email address for registration.
- Privacy-Focused: No phone number or email required, ensuring anonymity.
- Cross-Platform: Available on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
- Decentralized: No central servers, reducing the risk of data breaches.

Wow, the UN adopted @CryptPad 🥳
Did you know my friends started CryptPad, and I was one of the first paying customers way back in 2017?
I couldn't be more proud of their amazing work, and to witness their iconic journey.
It was my friend @ansuz who built a lot of CryptPad, that suggested I apply to NLnet.
And then Pixelfed became the first fediverse project funded by NLnet in 2019.
You love to see it.

The FediAlgo hashtag filter section now highlights any hashtags you've posted about recently.
Interestingly the most I've used the app the more I've found feed filtering gets a ton of mileage for me. It's a huge change of pace to be able to instantly flip between whatever people are talking about on the Fediverse. Not really something you can do on any other social media platform I'm aware of.

Is the #Fediverse really open for #freedom?
In the last weeks, I noticed more & more messages from different instances/admins about moderation, banning and de-federations. Initially, people told the Fediverse is more open, not blocking and deleting content compared to other social medias. However, I think it shifted to the opposite where a single instance admin decides for the whole user base (which might not even be aware of it).

Is the #Fediverse really open for #freedom?
In the last weeks, I noticed more & more messages from different instances/admins about moderation, banning and de-federations. Initially, people told the Fediverse is more open, not blocking and deleting content compared to other social medias. However, I think it shifted to the opposite where a single instance admin decides for the whole user base (which might not even be aware of it).

Can anyone recommend a screen-reader-accessible, self-hosted package that provides a web interface that communicates the status of multiple machines? UP, down, maintenance, etc? I think UptimeKuma can do this, so will check that out. But also very interested in any recommendations. Please boost for reach. Much appreciated.

Mastodon entwickelt sich weiter: Gründer Eugen Rochko übergibt seine Rolle als CEO, um sich künftig auf die technische Entwicklung zu konzentrieren. Die Führung geht an eine neue europäische Non-Profit-Organisation über. Ziel ist, Mastodon dauerhaft als dezentrales, werbefreies und gemeinnütziges soziales Netzwerk zu sichern. Dieser Schritt soll organisatorische Stabilität schaffen und die Abhängigkeit von Einzelpersonen reduzieren. Die neue Struktur stärkt die Unabhängigkeit von Mastodon, erleichtert Kooperationen und verbessert die Vertretung gegenüber der Öffentlichkeit. Eugen bleibt als Entwickler und technischer Berater aktiv. Die Vision: Ein demokratischeres, transparenteres und dauerhaft community-getriebenes Netzwerk.

I've been looking for a lightweight monitoring solution for my VPS where I run a bunch of services. Since I've been putting in some effort on setting things up, I also want to make sure that I do not get surprised by anything obvious, such as disk space filling up or AI crawlers spiking my web traffic.
After a few rounds of research the remaining two options were Beszel and Monitorix, and I now went with the latter:
https://www.monitorix.org/
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Monitorix
Call me oldschool, but I do fancy the historical vibes the generated graphs express.
Beszel also looked nice, but even though setup seems straight forward when using a container / compose setup, I get the feeling that having a separate database container running just for the sake of system monitoring feels to heavy.
That being said I've just set this up and will monitor (pun intended) how it works out for me. If I encounter any issues with monitorix I can always consider moving to a different solution at a later time.
That's one of the best things about open source software and selfhosting: plenty of choice and options! <3

#ReleaseFriday — Just pushed a new version of https://thi.ng/tensors, now with added support for "broadcasting" in most operations taking more than one input tensor. This means the shapes of the tensors only need to be compatible, not identical. Supporting operators attempt to adjust each tensor's shape & stride configurations to be compatible (details in the readme & API docs).
This new version also includes more tensor ops (almost 50 now), including singular value matrix decomposition (SVD), plus improved type safety & result type interference for all operations. The readme contains more code examples...
Happy coding! :)
ALT text details
Screenshot excerpt from the library readme section: Broadcasting support Most of the built-in functions taking two or more tensors as input are supporting broadcasting, i.e. the shapes of the individual arguments only need to be compatible, not identical. The operators attempt to adjust the tensor shape & stride configurations to be compatible, applying the steps and rules below: - If the dimensions are unequal, the smaller tensor's dimensions will be increased as needed. The size of each added dimension will be set to 1 and its stride set to zero. - The size of each dimension will be compared and only the following cases are accepted (otherwise will throw an error): sizes are equal or one side is 1 - Any of the tensors requiring shape adjustments will be shallow copied with new shape/stride config applied.

my colleague @DarkaMaul has put out a new post on the @trailofbits blog on how we worked with @pypi's maintainers to slash PyPI test run times from ~160s to ~30s despite overall test counts growing by 17% (3900 to 4700+):
https://blog.trailofbits.com/2025/05/01/making-pypis-test-suite-81-faster/
this is some of my favorite kind of work: faster test suites means that developers run tests locally more often, and are less hesitant to add new tests (especially parametric ones). another great example of security and performance/reliability engineering dovetailing.

#ReleaseWednesday 🚀 — I wonder how many other FLOSS devs are sitting on code for ~8 years prior to first release... In one of these cases (many others readily available in my stash 🙃), triggered by recent major updates to the thi.ng/vectors library, I've refactored (almost 100% rewritten) and applied the same approach to the new/old package:
This package provides 1D/2D/3D/4D tensors, supporting different storage implementations (currently still all CPU side only) and an extensible set of polymorphic tensor operations (currently ~45 math ops, incl. matrix-matrix/matrix-vector products, reductions, argmin/max, activation functions etc.). The tensor classes themselves also provide several zero-copy slicing, re-ordering, clipping, extraction functions, most of them type-safe.
The original (private) version was heavily reliant on dynamic code generation, which has now been replaced with higher-order functions to provide various dimension-optimized versions of all operations.
This package is NOT specifically aimed at machine learning, even though it could probably used for some tasks in that realm (likely with extra hand holding). There are many other use cases for this kind of data structure...
Also new in other packages in this release cycle (incl. some code examples):
- https://docs.thi.ng/umbrella/arrays/functions/permutation.html
- https://docs.thi.ng/umbrella/bidir-index/functions/decodeObjectIterator.html
- https://docs.thi.ng/umbrella/transducers/functions/binned.html

New release of #FediAlgo (customizable #algorithm for your #Mastodon timeline) has a couple of cool features:
1. Configuration presets (so you can easily put discussions or trending toots at the top of your #timeline without fiddling with the individual settings)
2. A "What's Trending" section that will show you the top trending hashtags, links, and posts scraped from 30 or so of the most popular Mastodon servers
All the old features like filtering for particular languages / hashtags / users or a minimum number of replies / boosts / etc. are still there.

Luminaries within the #FOSS world, previous #OSI directors, members .. have signed the petition, to resounding silence ... #OpenSource #FreeSoftware @ed what are you hiding?

Enabling DNS over TLS is a step toward improving Fedora and enterprise Linux distros for work in Zero Trust Networks.
While this feature isn't fully implemented with systemd, you can start to work with this today in Fedora 42! More to come in future releases.

Been reading about a new #EV company Slate Auto and their pickup they expect to release late next year. The sub $20k to mid $ 20ks price tag sounds great, too. But what I really love is they stripped out alot of the "smart" gimmicks other automakers shove in. They also seem to be embracing #opensource in at least accessories, of which the truck can be infinitely customized even into an SUV. And so far, they are one of the few automakers putting #RightToRepair into the design (Scout has made similar claims).

大家好，#Fread 现在已经决定开源了，欢迎大家查看代码提交 PR。
Fread 经历了两年多的开发，从开始到现在一直免费使用，之前由于没考虑好到底是付费下载还是免费所以闭源，仓库里也有很多敏感数据一直没法开源，现在主要功能都开发的差不多了，也是时候开源出来了。
虽然这种项目大部分都是业务代码，但是 Fread 还是有些独特之处的，首先使用的是 Kotlin Multiplatform 和 Compose Multiplatform 做跨平台，目前像 Fread 这么复杂的产品使用这样技术栈的其实很少，并且这是比较新的技术，这点 Fread 有很多参考意义。
另外 Fread 因为要兼容多个社交平台以及混合 Feeds，所以架构设计上下了点功夫，目前可以从架构上兼容这些短博客协议。
总之，虽然确实希望通过 Fread 赚钱，但我更希望自己开发了这么久的 App 有更多的人使用和喜欢。

Building a "EU OS", a Linux distribution for the public sector, is another example of a repeating pattern.
Everybody throughout Europe talks about digital sovereignty, that we need to become independent, that Free Software is a great way of getting there, and at the end (almost nothing) happens.
Instead of simply starting to use all the great stuff out there, we start to build stuff because we tell ourselves that x, y, z is missing.
Let's get finally started! We will be surprised what's already possible. Gaps that might come up can be closed on the go.

@BoxyBSD was always for BSD based systems only. I focussed to push the whole BSD community and to encourage people to try BSD based systems (such like #FreeBSD. #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, etc.) but I'm not sure if it might provide more value to the whole #opensource community by also supporting #Linux systems (such like #Debian, #Ubuntu, #RockyLinux, #SuSe and more).
I'm not sure if the #BoxyBSD project still provides a value for the community right, now.
What do you think?

Reading about Google keeping their long tradition of discontinuing products/services, often after just a few years[1]. On the other hand, the minimal "bus factor"[2] of my open source offerings is one of the stated reasons for people to not use them, even though the vast majority of the 200+ https://thi.ng/ libraries & tools has been actively maintained for much longer than many Google projects (99% by this single person)... Even many of my older projects which are defunkt by now have had an active period which outlasted many Google services, and — crucially — they're are stable, still available and can still be used now (e.g. my Java library collection developed between 2005-2013 still has regular users)...
Maybe internal politics, re-orgs and layoffs in BigTech are an equal/bigger risk factor for users (aside from other differences in design philosophy and resulting coupling and tech debt, e.g. massive all-in frameworks vs. lightweight composable pick-n-mix toolkits)? 🤔

Show me the Pull Requests.
I keep hearing #AI boosters / talking heads claiming that #LLMs have transformed software development, "it's not just about prototyping - AI is writing solid production code", etc.
So here's a challenge:
Share some AI-derived pull requests that deal with non-obvious corner cases or non-trivial bugs from mature #opensource projects. I'll also accept high-quality documentation that isn't just the sort of wasted space & slop that I always tell juniors not to write.

Show me the Pull Requests.
I keep hearing #AI boosters / talking heads claiming that #LLMs have transformed software development, "it's not just about prototyping - AI is writing solid production code", etc.
So here's a challenge:
Share some AI-derived pull requests that deal with non-obvious corner cases or non-trivial bugs from mature #opensource projects. I'll also accept high-quality documentation that isn't just the sort of wasted space & slop that I always tell juniors not to write.

올해 8월 9일 개최되는 #UbuCon Korea 2025는 연말에 다가오는 #우분투 한국커뮤니티의 #20주년 을 기념하는 만큼 뜻깊은 #컨퍼런스 라고 할 수 있습니다!
그런 만큼, 올해 UbuCon Korea는 좀 더 잘 준비해 보기 위해서 다과회를 열고, 지난 UbuCon이나 우분투한국커뮤니티 행사에 참석해 보신 분들, 혹은 참석해 보고 싶으신 분들과 함께 이야기를 나누어 보고자 합니다.
올해 행사는 어떤 행사였으면 하는지, #Ubuntu #Linux #Opensource 관련해 어떤 주제나 프로그램이 있었으면 하는지 차 한잔하고 과자도 먹으면서 편하게 이야기하는 시간을 가지고자 하니 관심 있으신 분들은 많이 참여해 주시기를 바랍니다!

New release of #FediAlgo (customizable #algorithm for your #Mastodon timeline) has a couple of cool features:
1. Configuration presets (so you can easily put discussions or trending toots at the top of your #timeline without fiddling with the individual settings)
2. A "What's Trending" section that will show you the top trending hashtags, links, and posts scraped from 30 or so of the most popular Mastodon servers
All the old features like filtering for particular languages / hashtags / users or a minimum number of replies / boosts / etc. are still there.

How-To-Geek offers its opinion as to why installing Linux is a great activity for Earth Day:
- Linux breathes new life into old hardware, reducing e-waste and extending lifespans.
- Installing Linux means lower energy consumption and decreased carbon emissions.
- Linux fosters a sense of responsibility and community, aligning with environmental mindfulness.

I discuss the rationale a bit in the linked post, but ultimately, it's an attempt to distance myself from the many 'This Week in <topic>' publications that currently exist.

@signalapp As a supporter of #Signal, it is important to point out a key detail: Signal's own code is #OpenSource, but Signal uses multiple #proprietary libraries from #Google. Those cannot be scrutinized since the source code is not open. We believe Signal should offer an actual open source version, and are ready to help.

Once again, I highly advice you to get off #Discord and use something else, prefferably a messaging platform that is end-to-end encrypted, federated, no phone number idenitfiers, and open source.
You can bet your dollars that once they officially announce their IPO plans, all bets are off in terms of #enshittification X 1000.

@lemeteore Usually, open-source maintainers are good developers. They are, however, not good at and probably not interested in community cat herding. I am not surprised, to see some of them looking for mitigations to being overwhelmed.
Are there people out there loving the interaction and are able to distill community chatter in something a developer can act upon? If so, step up and offer your services to an open-source project out there.
And a call to maintainers. It is OK to not like or be good at community management. Put the word out and look out for people who can help you in that regard.

Linux and open source demolish capitalist myth that profit drives innovation. Some of the world's most vital software being built by volunteers as opposed to corporations proves that humans create interesting things for the sake of curiosity and joy. When profit becomes the primary motive, you get ads, not Apache; microtransactions, not MySQL. Real innovation thrives when we're free to build, not just bill.

Our Account Manager's analysis shows how redirecting these funds could:
✔️End vendor lock-in cycles
✔️Strengthen data sovereignty
✔️Create local tech jobs
✔️Support FLOSS innovation

In a recent LinkedIn article, Neculai Dăscălița, our Account Manager, highlighted that the German federal government spends over €1.3 billion annually on software, with €204.5 millions going directly to Microsoft. His analysis raises a crucial question: Could part of this budget be redirected toward Free/Libre and Open-Source Software (FLOSS) to support national digital sovereignty? To explore this further, we sat down with Neculai to discuss the challenges of proprietary software dependency, the advantages of FLOSS adoption, and the strategic steps governments can take to transition to open-source solutions.

The S4 slicer is an open-source tool that prints objects without supports. It automatically slices non-planar layers for printability, handling complex designs that are challenging for traditional 3D printers.
The process involves deforming, slicing, and untransforming the tool path generated by the slicer into the shape of the original mesh.

If you maintain an open source package, set up a standing search on scholar.google.com for your package name. You'll get gmail notifications of published papers referencing your package.
It's truly gratifying to see students and research teams making use of my pyparsing package to parse data sets and DSLs, so they can quickly get past the pesky parser development stage and get on with the business of their actual field of study. #pyparsing #python #google #oss #opensource

the problem with #algorithms on #centralized #socialMedia is that they can be manipulated
on the #fediverse why not have a menu of #openSource algorithms that anyone can write (audited so they are genuinely manipulation-free)?
people can freely choose one, and they can sink into their #algorithm stupor
if that's what they want
is there harm in that?

Magicwormhole was created by developer Brian Warner as a response to the overly complex ways people transfer files securely. Introduced in the mid-2010s, it aimed to make file transfers between devices as simple and trustworthy as handing a USB stick to someone next to you.
At its core, magicwormhole uses a concept called PAKE, or Password Authenticated Key Exchange, which allows two computers to establish a secure, encrypted channel over the internet using a short one-time code. That code acts as both an identifier and a temporary password, ensuring the connection can’t be intercepted or spoofed.
The project gained popularity in privacy and open source circles for its ease of use and its ability to work across firewalls, NAT, and without user accounts. Unlike most tools, it requires no setup, servers, or third-party cloud services. It simply connects you to the other device, does the job, and vanishes.
It remains one of the cleanest examples of what simple, privacy-respecting software can look like.

💸 Germany sends €204.5M to Microsoft annually while European open-source projects need investment.
Our Account Manager's analysis shows how redirecting these funds could:
✔️End vendor lock-in cycles
✔️Strengthen data sovereignty
✔️Create local tech jobs
✔️Support FLOSS innovation
XWiki, CryptPad and other open-source solutions prove alternatives exist, they just need proper funding.

In a recent LinkedIn article, Neculai Dăscălița, our Account Manager, highlighted that the German federal government spends over €1.3 billion annually on software, with €204.5 millions going directly to Microsoft. His analysis raises a crucial question: Could part of this budget be redirected toward Free/Libre and Open-Source Software (FLOSS) to support national digital sovereignty? To explore this further, we sat down with Neculai to discuss the challenges of proprietary software dependency, the advantages of FLOSS adoption, and the strategic steps governments can take to transition to open-source solutions.Erik Jonker

I finally wrote the first part of my journey developing a drum machine app and becoming a GNOME Foundation member. I talked about the great @gnome community, Gnome Circle apps, Gnome Foundation membership perks, and how to come up with an idea.
In the next articles, I will talk about the development of the Drum Machine and the application review process, and what happens after getting your membership and your app being accepted to the Gnome Circle.

Remember that GNOME Circle app developers are eligible to become voting members of the GNOME Foundation. And according to the bylaws¹, all contributors are eligible, including those who contribute to areas like documentation and advocacy.
Become a member if you aren’t already, then don’t forget to vote!
If you’re curious what the GNOME Foundation does, Allan has written an update² of recent activities.

If you contribute in some way to GNOME, are you already a GNOME Foundation member? If not, you should apply ASAP: https://foundation.gnome.org/membership/
Once you do (or if you’re already a member), don’t forget to VOTE in the upcoming Foundation elections!
The GNOME Foundation Board of Directors is elected by Foundation members. If you want to influence how the Foundation is run, one of the most effective things you can do is to become a member and vote.

#ReleaseWednesday — I just released a new version (v8.0.0) of https://thi.ng/vectors, an almost complete rewrite of the package with all of its ~900 vector operations. I've updated the Readme with a section of _potentially_ minor breaking changes, however I expect this to be a seamless upgrade for the vast majority of users...
I've recently written more about the reasons and implications of this update and I'll refer you to those posts instead of repeating them once more (see links below).
Just the top-level changes:
- Replaced dynamic code generation with higher-order templating to be usable with strict content security policies (when deployed online)
- New structure allows for vast majority of functions to have doc strings (and they do now)
- More consistent/less confusing naming for some operations
- Potentially improved tree-shaking and smaller project bundle sizes
Related to this update I've also refactored and fixed some bugs in other packages (e.g. color, geom, matrices). As a result both the color & matrix packages are now also free from dynamic codegen and therefore won't cause any problems with strict CSPs
Should you run into any issues regarding this update, please get in touch (also grateful for any other experience/impact reports... 🙏)

We've only been at https://apply.coop for 3 months or so. Sure we could have YOLOed some CRUD app into the wild based on some framework, but we wanted to take a different approach to our tech stack. We've made lots of progress and are happy with our choices.
Still priding ourselves of no JS and a single binary with all static assets embedded.

@toxi@mastodon.thi.ng · Reply to Karsten Schmidt's post
To put the "large" package size a little more into perspective: I don't know of any other feature-comparable JS vector library which provides all of the following:
- Generic n-dimensional float, int, uint, boolean vectors
- Size optimized versions for 2D/3D/4D (all types)
- Multiple-dispatch wrappers (auto-delegating to available optimized versions)
- Memory-mapped vectors and optimized versions for various memory layouts (e.g. SOA/AOS)
- Optimized versions of many vector-scalar ops
- Optimized compound operations (like multiply-add etc.)
- Vector randomizations (several approaches)
- 99% of GLSL vector operations & conversions
- Vector versions of most of JS `Math` ops
- Vector interpolations (linear, bilinear, cubic, quadratic...)
- 10 different distance functions & metrics
- Swizzling & vector coercion/extension
- Dozens of additional graphics, statistics & ML-related operations

@toxi@mastodon.thi.ng
Just a quick #ThingUmbrella update to say that I've already replaced the https://thi.ng/vectors package on the develop branch and after LOTS of deep experimentation have decided NOT to split up the package. There will be a few (minor) breaking changes, mainly because of enforcing more consistent naming and more granularity in some source files (therefore possibly changed imports, though only if you use direct ones for individual functions...). All in all, I've managed to keep the impact on users to a bare minimum (likely unnoticeable for most), even though it's pretty much a complete rewrite of the entire package (with all its ~900 functions)... This package is now almost 10 years old and I'm very happy how this refactor turned out!
In terms of file size impact: The FULL minified pkg bundle is now 56.4KB vs previously 48.5KB, however the code density has improved and the brotli-compressed pkg size is only 15.1KB (only 1KB larger than before), which I found absolutely incredible! 🎉 I also have to state once more that this package (and most others in #ThingUmbrella) are _designed for tree shaking_ and bundling. Hardly any project would ever use the full set of functions provided here all at once, most will only use a small/tiny subset...
Also — more importantly — many of the 185 example projects in the repo are now showing between 2-25% smaller final bundle sizes. Some also have become slightly larger, but so far I found the most by only ~2%...
Related to this change: I've also updated the https://thi.ng/color & https://thi.ng/matrices packages to be free from dynamic code generation now! The only packages still using `new Function(...)` are the following, but for those it's unavoidable and dynamic code generation is a core feature:
- https://thi.ng/pixel (custom pixel format definition/compilation)
- https://thi.ng/pixel-convolve (custom image convolution kernel compilation)
- https://thi.ng/shader-ast-js (Shader AST to JavaScript compilation)
I will do more testing over the coming days, then release new version(s) ASAP...

My use case: while presenting on stage, during a public speaking I would like to ask my audience (100-500 people) some questions. The summarized answers should be visible live on my computer, so that I can show it to the audience.
Any ideas?

@toxi@mastodon.thi.ng
In recent years every spring seems to turn into a period of _massive_ refactoring & restructuring in #ThingUmbrella — maybe it's a form of spring cleaning, even though the reasons[1] are not seasonal... Currently spending my nights reworking the https://thi.ng/vectors package (likely one of the most comprehensive vector packages available for TS/JS) and trying out different splits/structures, testing their impact on package sizes and usability in existing downstream packages. Currently over 3000 source files with uncommitted changes... aaaarrrgghh! 🤯
Most functions (vector operations) in this package exist in multiple versions (many code generated, but now in need to be updated): Generic n-dimensional, loop-free, optimized 2D/3D/4D versions and strided versions for manipulating vectors views of larger nD data buffers (supporting all kinds of data layouts, incl. AOS, SOA, hybrid...)

🚨 Europe’s digital sovereignty is at risk.
Governments say they want sovereignty, yet they keep buying from #Microsoft #Google and #AWS.
📢 If Europe wants control over its digital future, it must act now. The choice is clear:
✅ Invest in open-source technologies
✅ Reduce dependency on foreign providers

i'm very glad you guys you liked my project 😊.
i want to share some mockups for the important things that are missing in the user interface (like brush presets and navigator). implemented parts look more improved than mockup counter-parts because i'm not so good at Figma.

Dear #OpenSource folks, I'd like to offer #UX help to your teams. I've tried "making a small PR" on projects and it turns out that's TERRIBLE advice for a UX designer. The PR is usually misunderstood or ignored. I don't fault the teams for this! It's just the wrong tool for the job.
So I'm trying something different. I'm offering free consulting time to any project that wants it. Sign up here: https://cal.com/scottjenson/exchange

I'm currently migrating my #OpenSource projects from #GitHub to #Codeberg and I have to say I'm impressed.
+ Codeberg web interface is much (!) faster and more responsive compared to GitHub
+ Git clone and push feel about twice as fast as GitHub (not that it matters much)
+ Much cleaner interface than GitHub, less bloat and less featuritis
+ Codeberg activity overview is very helpful and well organized
+ Codeberg migration tool works well
Note: the OSS git software that Codeberg runs is called Forgejo.

Lemmy as an non-US alternative to Red dit, using people-owned servers
Here's a post that explains what Lemmy is - it's a decentralised link aggregator that's an alternative to Reddit 🇺🇸.
It lists some of the largest Lemmy instances by 🇪🇺 country, as well as an FAQ on how it works.
We've been boosting a bunch of posts from Lemmy instances, since it's based on ActivityPub protocol, so it's interopable with Mastodon.
But we're thinking of joining Lemmy, just to be able to use and test it and form an opinion. The tricky bit is choosing an instance 😅. We care more about a nice and open community to diversity of opinions than if it's in Poland or Finland or any other EU country. (suggestions?)

@toxi@mastodon.thi.ng
#ReleaseWednesday Just pushed a new version of https://thi.ng/block-fs, now with additional multi-command CLI tooling to convert & bundle a local file system tree into a single block-based binary blob (e.g. for bundling assets, or distributing a virtual filesystem as part of a web app, or for snapshot testing, or as bridge for WASM interop etc.)
Also new, the main API now includes a `.readAsObjectURL()` method to wrap files as URLs to binary blobs with associated MIME types, thereby making it trivial to use the virtual filesystem for sourcing stored images and other assets for direct use in the browser...
(Ps. For more context see other recent announcement: https://mastodon.thi.ng/@toxi/114264980961483146)

@openrightsgroup@social.openrightsgroup.org · Reply to Open Rights Group's post
The UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill is an opportunity to assess and reduce the UK’s dependence on large US corporations for vital government infrastructure.
Other countries, such as France and the Netherlands, are already debating how to do this, through open source software for example.

NEW: The UK government has published its Cyber Security Bill and there are glaring holes.
Missing:
🔴 Protections for encryption.
🔴 Reduction of our dependence on US corporations for vital UK government infrastructure, such as through open source software.

Why we currently do not recommend the @rodentapp Mastodon client:
- it's not #opensource let alone #FLOSS
- it's only available from Google's Play store
- it contains trackers (Google Crashlytics and Google Firebase Analytics)
- it wants access to your ad ID
In short, this app is against the spirit of Mastodon and the Fediverse. There are plenty of Mastodon apps that respect you: @Tusky, Fedilab (@apps), @moshidon …

How can a DNS mail record be used to trick you into giving up your login credentials? 📨😕
Researchers at Infoblox have identified a phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) platform called Morphing Meerkat that’s been quietly operating for over five years. What makes it notable is its use of DNS MX (Mail Exchange) records in ways rarely reported before. Instead of the usual static phishing page setups, Morphing Meerkat queries the victim’s email provider’s MX record—using DNS-over-HTTPS via Google or Cloudflare—to tailor the phishing page dynamically. This means victims are shown spoofed login interfaces that mimic the exact service they use, complete with matching branding and pre-filled email fields.
The platform supports more than 114 brand templates and uses obfuscated JavaScript to evade detection. It also includes built-in translation capabilities based on browser profile or geolocation, making the fake login pages appear native to the user's language. Earlier versions began in 2020 targeting just five email services (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, AOL, Office 365). By mid-2023, they could generate phishing pages dynamically using MX records and now operate in over a dozen languages.
Morphing Meerkat campaigns rely on a set of centralized email servers, primarily hosted by UK ISP iomart and US-based HostPapa, indicating a coordinated infrastructure rather than a loose network of attackers. The phishing emails often impersonate trusted services—banks, shipping companies, etc.—and are distributed using compromised WordPress sites, open redirects from platforms like Google’s DoubleClick, and embedded links in shortened URLs.
Once a user submits credentials, the system may display a fake “Invalid Password” error to lure them into re-entering data, after which they are redirected to the real login page. This not only reduces suspicion but also increases the chance of capturing correct credentials. Stolen data is sent back via AJAX, PHP scripts, or Telegram bots, sometimes with evidence removed in real-time.
This operation shows a deep understanding of modern security blind spots—including how content delivery and DNS infrastructure can be turned against end users.

Looking for CMS advice
Hey Web devs!
Do you have any suggestions, tips, opinions, dos, don’ts about headless CMSes?
I have a growing list of small/mid non-profits and collectives asking for my help to (re)make their website. I totally want to help, but I don’t have much time, especially considering that they generally have little or no funding—I would most definitely point them to @VillageOneCoop, otherwise.
Therefore, I want a super simple and replicable solution where I can copy-paste most of the code, while providing them with a stable, fast, and modern solution. I had a look at the Headless CMS section in the Jamstack website, but I need opinions from people who actually used some of that software already.
Needs
- I want to code and configure everything using @eleventy
- Admin interface (#WebApp) for the client to add pages and write posts
- Static website in the front-end
- Simple and reliable CI/CD
- No/minimal maintenance after the first setup
- Self-hostable (I was taking this for granted so much that I forgot to write it)
- If it requires forge integration, it should support #ForgeJo
- #OpenSource
Nice to have
- Possibly using #Deno, not #NodeJS
- Allowing the client to customize a bit their website through the admin interface, with a GUI
- CMS app packaged on @yunohost
- No CMS vendor lock-in
- I’d love to write as little JavaScript as possible
- #FreeSoftware
Absolutely not
- Front-end #JavaScript frameworks
Please, boost this and ask around! Links to videos, tutorials, and resources are welcome.
People whose perspective I would really value: @zachleat @harryfk @deno_land @jaredwhite @vanillaweb @stefan @mxbck @WeirdWriter @deadsuperhero (Sorry if I am spamming you!)

🌐 Beyond Bluesky: The Rise of Decentralized Social Apps
The AT Protocol (ATProto), the open foundation behind Bluesky, is becoming a launchpad for next-gen social apps.
Some standout innovations:
・Flashes: A photo/video-sharing platform reminiscent of classic Instagram
・Spark: A video-first app with livestreaming on the way
・Streamplace: Livestreaming built with cryptographic creator protections
・Graze: Build, customize, and monetize your own social feeds
This signals a shift toward user-owned, open social ecosystems—a strong contrast to walled-garden platforms. Developers, creators, and users alike are embracing interoperability, privacy, and creative freedom.

New #introduction post!
I'm Alicia and I'm a fibre artist (#dyeing #handspinning #felting #needlefelting #weaving #crochet #embroidery #upcycling #sewing) with interests in #mandala #art #psychedelicart #sacredgeometry #neurographicart and #watercolors.
My family and I run a business called @Fibre2Fabric where we dye all sorts of exotic #fibre #yarn, and #fabric.
I live in the country with my partner and our 6 #cats, 3 #dogs, #snake and #crestedgecko where I enjoy my many interests. (#gardening #plants #herbalism #fungi #music #ukulele #piano #dancing #flowart #reading #writing #tarot #poetry #haiku #cozygames and I'm getting more into #opensource / #linux)
When I say flow art, I mean spinning props like #hulahoop #leviwand #puppyhammer #poi #staff #silkfans #firefans etc.
I love #languagelearning. I studied #German and #Spanish as a kid, took #Japanese in uni, and I'm currently studying #ASL #Cree #Tokipona #Spanish and #Chinese. I also dabble in #French and #Latin sometimes and I'm learning #Greggshorthand to write faster. Cree is my favourite language and Spanish is my second.
I've been cursed since childhood with that lovely trifecta of #heds #pots and #mcas. Healing slowly but surely.
Hope I get to meet even more cool people the algorithms would normally drown out on other social media sites. I love it here!

Here is the BlueHats manifesto:

2. Digitisation of public services should prioritise Free Software.

Quick tip! You can actually see the changelog details for Debian/Ubuntu packages, which includes security info, CVEs, package urgency, and a short description. Super helpful for figuring out if you need to patch right away or schedule downtime, especially if you're working with clusters. For example, here is how to see info about the nginx:
apt changelog nginx
See https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-linux-show-package-changelog-command/ for more info.

This is neat: the United Nations have adopted a new set of 8 #OpenSource prinicples:
🔶 The UN Open Source Principles 🔶
1. Open by default: Making Open Source the standard approach for projects
2. Contribute back: Encouraging active participation in the Open Source ecosystem
3. Secure by design: Making security a priority in all software projects
4. Foster inclusive participation and community building: Enabling and facilitating diverse and inclusive contributions
5. Design for reusability: Designing projects to be interoperable across various platforms and ecosystems
6. Provide documentation: Providing thorough documentation for end-users, integrators and developers
7. RISE (recognize, incentivize, support and empower): Empowering individuals and communities to actively participate
8. Sustain and scale: Supporting the development of solutions that meet the evolving needs of the UN system and beyond.

I have long thought that an open-source Genealogical social-network (including a Genetic Genealogy components) would benefit the Genealogy and Genetic Genealogy communities.
It would be straightforward to create it as Fediverse / OpenSocial software — using the same ActivityPub, ActivityStreams, NodeInfo, WebFinger, etc technology that the rest of the Fediverse uses.

Am I right, that none of them is fully #freeSoftware (#openSource), none of them is federated, and none has first class clients on other OSes than Google Android and Apple iOS?
There is an IETF standard for federated instant messenging, implemented by various servers and client applications since 1999. Why don't you promote that?

Yesterday’s event was engaging and sparked a lot of reflections. Here are my immediate, unordered thoughts:
• The organizers poured their passion into this conference - they created something genuinely interesting and enjoyable. Thank you for that.
• Every talk offered valuable insights. A recurring theme was developers’ anxiety about large language models: they rely on them heavily and fear losing competitiveness without these tools. I personally resonated more with some speakers than others, especially appreciating the friendly, down‑to‑earth atmosphere that some of them tried to create - we should feel like peers, not influencers on a pedestal.
• I was the oldest (and most traditionally dressed) speaker - some even addressed me formally, which made me feel ancient! Yet I was arguably the most “alternative”, challenging the crowd not just on BSDs but on open source philosophy itself. Instead of blindly rewriting projects in Rust, I urged people to do so only when it truly adds value. I felt like a real hipster 😆
• Many equate open source with large, corporate‑backed projects you can consume or contribute to. This narrow view risks creating mainstream currents dominated by a few profit‑driven companies, ultimately limiting choice and freedom.
• Despite time constraints (the ticking timer was painfully visible, I was a bit nervous while presenting!), I achieved my goal: to broaden minds and open eyes to the BSDs and the deeper spirit of open source. Several attendees - including fellow speaker Sal, whom I already admired - came to chat afterward, sparking wonderful discussions.
• Sometimes I observed a dismissive attitude toward anything outside the mainstream (“Ok, Boomer…”), reflecting a worrying trend. For many, open source is merely a paycheck, which saddens me.
• A few were genuinely curious about the BSDs but unsure how to apply it professionally. Almost everyone I spoke with uses Docker/Kubernetes but dislikes its complexity. I encouraged them to drive change from the ground up by learning different workflows and bringing that value into their work - not just replicating existing OS practices.
• One of the sponsors, Aruba Cloud, gifted me some swag - including a pair of blue socks emblazoned with a cloud logo. I can now literally say I’m walking on clouds (or that the cloud is at my feet)! 😄

The #OSI 's one job is to protect and promote #OpenSource and the Open Source Definition (OSD). Undermining that definition with the weakened #OSAID has alienated much of the Open Source community, myself included.
I had hoped that might be turned around, but this year's reform candidates were likely the last chance to see that happen.
Watching the OSI promoting corporate sponsors was concerning, but this year's blatant election manipulation is the final straw.

Folks don't understand how open source contributions work. If you want a feature, you don't come and say "make me this feature". Instead, you open a PR and ask for it to get merged.
Folks don't understand how community conferences work. If you want something to happen in the conference, you don't come and say "make this happen for me". Instead, you say "I want to volunteer and do this for your conference".

Why we currently do not recommend the @rodentapp Mastodon client:
- it's not #opensource let alone #FLOSS
- it's only available from Google's Play store
- it contains trackers (Google Crashlytics and Google Firebase Analytics)
- it wants access to your ad ID

The #BlueHats 🧢 initiative started in France in 2018, but it was always intended to be a global movement, bringing together civil servants willing to promote #FreeSoftware #OpenSource in, for and by public administrations.
Here is the BlueHats manifesto:
1. Governments should actively contribute to Free Software.
2. Digitisation of public services should prioritise Free Software.
3. Civil servants should be free to use Free Software.
Do you agree? Join the movement!

🚨 Europe’s digital sovereignty is at risk.
Governments say they want sovereignty, yet they keep buying from #Microsoft #Google and #AWS.
📢 If Europe wants control over its digital future, it must act now. The choice is clear:
✅ Invest in open-source technologies
✅ Reduce dependency on foreign providers

I'm looking for an #OpenSource static site generator for non-technical users. Ideally what I want is something with a control panel which can be driven with a mouse, which has controls for add new page, edit page, delete page, serve site locally, push site to server.
Needs to work on Windows and Mac. #Linux would be nice, but Linux folk can mostly cope with command lines.
If I can't find one I'll write a WIMP control panel to wrap around #Cryogen.
Any suggestions?
Please boost!

New #introduction post!
I'm Alicia and I'm a fibre artist (#dyeing #handspinning #felting #needlefelting #weaving #crochet #embroidery #upcycling #sewing) with interests in #mandala #art #psychedelicart #sacredgeometry #neurographicart and #watercolors.
My family and I run a business called @Fibre2Fabric where we dye all sorts of exotic #fibre #yarn, and #fabric.
I live in the country with my partner and our 6 #cats, 3 #dogs, #snake and #crestedgecko where I enjoy my many interests. (#gardening #plants #herbalism #fungi #music #ukulele #piano #dancing #flowart #reading #writing #tarot #poetry #haiku #cozygames and I'm getting more into #opensource / #linux)
When I say flow art, I mean spinning props like #hulahoop #leviwand #puppyhammer #poi #staff #silkfans #firefans etc.
I love #languagelearning. I studied #German and #Spanish as a kid, took #Japanese in uni, and I'm currently studying #ASL #Cree #Tokipona #Spanish and #Chinese. I also dabble in #French and #Latin sometimes and I'm learning #Greggshorthand to write faster. Cree is my favourite language and Spanish is my second.
I've been cursed since childhood with that lovely trifecta of #heds #pots and #mcas. Healing slowly but surely.
Hope I get to meet even more cool people the algorithms would normally drown out on other social media sites. I love it here!

This New Open-Source Alternative to Google Docs and Notion Is Backed by France and Germany
Docs is an web-based collaborative text editor that is the result of a joint effort led by the French 🇫🇷🥖 (DINUM) and German 🇩🇪🥨 governments (ZenDiS).
It's a good alternative to popular services like Notion, Google Docs and Outline.
The platform offers real-time collaboration capabilities, a sleek minimalist interface, and all the essential features you could possibly need.
Best of all, Docs is open-source on GitHub and can be self-hosted, making it a viable option for local agencies and companies.
You can test Docs on your browser by visiting this page:

The rise of Gimp 3
Big kudos to the #Gimp team!
I've just tested out the brand new version 3 and the most wanted feature, non-destructive-editig, just blew my mind!
I haven't realized that now, everything that is based on GEGL is editable, it is just amazing, this goes beyond what I expected as non-destructive-editing.
There are still plenty of room for improvements though , I hope in the future they will add a layer mask for each effect and the opacity channel to determine the amount of the intensity.
Nevertheless this result by itself it is just amazing and superior to other commercials solution even in its infantry!
This will boost my workflow cause now I can modify colors on my images without degrading the original ones and exporting the working file as jpeg-xl, this is already a pro level!

I have a Mastodon feature request. Could there please be a specialized emoji for the #XMPP logo? To put it beside one's name? It can draw attention to an XMPP "Chat ID" that one has put in one's Mastodon profile. Similarly, it would make sense to also have emojis for the #Deltachat logo, #Matrix logo, etc. Basically, every other #OpenSource federated network (#Pixelfed? #Peertube?) would likewise deserve an emoji.
This is so that Mastodonians can draw attention to the accounts they have on other #Fediverse servers. It's a visual cue, right by their names, inviting others to tap/click their avatars/names, and have a look at their profile, where further contact info could be presented. It would encourage people to use Federated services more, then display their involvement to others.

I like UM because I don't have to configure anything. Usually, I have the time to do so, but around the holidays and other things that kept coming up, I just didn't want to do it. I also had plans to convert some family members to Linux too, so the idea of configuring a bunch of computers, independent of their own, just didn't appeal to me.
But Ultramarine Linux would never end up releasing v41. Turns out, the development took on too much too soon, and the development likely burned out. An unfortunate common theme for many user-friendly Linux distros.
They'll argue there is an "upgrade path", but there is no official release, and they'll try to argue that not having an image you can freshly install, still counts as a release (no, it does not). I kept waiting because I and others kept being told, "soon". Well, "soon" turned out to be, never, and I wish they had just been honest about that.
Meanwhile, Fedora v42 is soon to be a beta. We're less than a month away from April, and if you've taken a look at the development build, it's running stable (at least for me). But the problem about Fedora is, like Debian, you need to build it up. I can do that, but I'd rather just install something with an "out of box" experience for the other 12 computers. Mostly, because with those other people, they were expecting a Windows-like experience, which is what Ultramarine Linux offered.
And that is where I am today. Not knowing of a use-friendly distro, for everyone else. I know to avoid, DEB base system. If that statement confuses or upsets you, stop using a DEB base system. Trust me, I didn't notice how much DEB sucks as a desktop, until I stop using it as a desktop. I don't expect you to see that difference either until you stop using DEB as a desktop.
I feel defeated, because ultimately, I think Windows is going to win this. And right now, I am angry at the Linux ecosystem. Every time, there is finally a Linux distro that knows what they're doing, they seem to geek out, and drop the ball.
1) Fairly current
2) Stable
3) Must include 1 and 2.
4) Must work with older hardware.
5) Must work with new-ish hardware.
6) Must include non-free drivers
7) Must include non-free firmware
8) Must include non-free media codecs.
9) Fairly solid road map for the future
10) Point and click updates (similar to Microsoft Update)
11) KDE (helps with point and click, configuration)
12) Double-click installs (rpm packages, for example)
13) Graphical interface for Flatpak
14) Not immutable.

📣 Announcing Altbot 2.0: The Privacy & Green Update 🔒💚
Exciting news! After months of development, Altbot 2.0 is officially launching with major improvements to privacy, efficiency, and description quality.
What's new in Altbot 2.0:
- 100% local AI processing for true privacy - unlike Google Gemini which saves data for training, Altbot 2.0 retains ZERO information about you or your images using the powerful Ovis2:8B model running on my custom AltTron server equipped with an A5500 GPU and expansion capacity for two additional GPUs
- Full GDPR compliance with clear informed consent - I've implemented comprehensive privacy measures including transparent data handling policies, user rights protection, and minimal data collection practices that exceed GDPR requirements
- Better quality descriptions across all 11 supported languages thanks to a newly developed translation layer specifically optimized for local LLM models
- Significantly more energy efficient with a new feature that shows you exactly how much energy was used for each request! This efficiency comes from using a server-grade GPU optimized for lower power consumption, and 36% of the energy consumed is from clean sources mainly nuclear power (thanks to being based in Georgia)
The only data Altbot 2.0 records:
- That a request happened
- How long it took to complete
- What type of media it was (image, video, or audio)
- What language was used
No images, no content, no personal data saved - ever.
For those who don't know, Altbot has been helping make the Fediverse more accessible by automatically generating alt-text descriptions for images. The project has grown beyond anything I imagined, now serving thousands of users across the network.
Support Altbot's Future 💝
To bring these privacy and efficiency improvements to life, I had to invest in a more powerful server than initially planned. The server costs exceeded my budget by around $900, which I've covered out of pocket. Who woulda thought that competing with a $1.98 trillion dystopian mega corporation would be expensive? Shocking, I know.
I've set up a Ko-fi fundraising goal to help recover these costs and support ongoing development: Ko-fi.com/micr0byte
Your contributions will help ensure Altbot remains:
- Free for everyone
- Continuously improved
- Sustainably maintained
Even small donations make a huge difference and motivate me to keep enhancing accessibility across the Fediverse!
This milestone represents a commitment to ensuring accessibility doesn't come at the cost of privacy or environmental impact. I'm incredibly proud of what we've built together.
As Altbot continues to grow, I'm open to sharing more about this journey with anyone interested in accessibility, ethical AI, or Fediverse projects.
For press inquiries: inquiries@micr0.dev
Feel free to boost or reach out!

Manchmal ist man sooo eingefahren, an Gewohnheiten gebunden, daß man nicht merkt, wie sehr sich die (Konsum)Welt verbessert.
Durch Wechsel auf #Linux & #grapheneOS für privat habe ich feststellen dürfen, wie gut sich #FLOSS für Privatpersonen entwickelt. Jahrelang ignoriert.
Durch Verzicht auf #amazon habe ich festgestellt, daß sich #Onlineshopping und #Kundenservice bei vielen kleinen Shops maßgeblich verbessert hat, während amazon nachlässt.

Mein Weg zu Linux!
Mein Einstieg in die Welt von Linux verlief ähnlich wie bei vielen anderen.
Mein erster #Computer war ein #Schneider/#Amstrad CPC 464, gefolgt vom Commodore 64 und später dem #Amiga 500+. Diese Geräte markierten den Beginn meiner Leidenschaft für Videospiele.
Anschließend kam ein PC mit einem #Intel 386 Prozessor und einem Internetanbieter von #Compuserve. Dies war mein erster Schritt in die Windows-Welt, und ich begann mit der Version 3.11. und dann W95.
Der PC, den ich damals hatte, wurde hauptsächlich zum Spielen und gelegentlich zum Schreiben verwendet. Zu jener Zeit war der Zugang zu #Software natürlich nicht so umfangreich wie heute. Es gab nur eine begrenzte Auswahl an Programmen und Spielen, was die Nutzung des Computers stark beeinflusste.
Dann kam Windows #XP, das damals als das ultimative #Betriebssystem galt und bis heute als eines der besten Windows-Versionen, das aus Redmond veröffentlicht wurde. Es revolutionierte die Nutzung von PCs und setzte neue Maßstäbe in der Benutzerfreundlichkeit und Stabilität.
Als Nächstes kam Windows #Vista, das das komplette Gegenteil von XP darstellte. Es wurde weitgehend verhasst und war, um es milde auszudrücken, einfach nur enttäuschend. In dieser Zeit begann ich, nach einer Alternative zu suchen, da ich mit den Problemen von Vista unzufrieden war.
Die erste Linux-CD, eine runde silberne Scheibe, war #knoppix Ich glaube, ich habe sie damals in einer Computerzeitschrift entdeckt. Ich versuchte, sie zum Laufen zu bringen, aber das war damals alles andere als einfach, im Vergleich zu den heutigen Möglichkeiten.
Mein Glück war, dass es sich bereits um eine Live-CD handelte. Ich war überrascht, dass ich es schaffte, sie zum Laufen zu bringen, ohne Windows vorher zu starten.
Ich war zunächst überrascht, wie einfach das mit der Live-CD funktionierte, und experimentierte eine Weile damit herum. Dennoch konnte ich mich nicht wirklich damit anfreunden. Also blieb ich weiterhin bei Windows, auch wenn es mich oft frustrierte. Eines Tages hatte ich Kontakt mit einer Firma, der ich ein PDF-Dokument per E-Mail zusenden sollte. Ich verschickte das gewünschte PDF und wartete auf eine Rückmeldung. Als ich nach einer Woche nichts gehört hatte, rief ich die Firma an, um nachzufragen, ob sie das Dokument erhalten hätten. Dabei wurde mir mitgeteilt, dass sie grundsätzlich keine PDFs öffnen, die per E-Mail verschickt werden, da sie mit Windows arbeiten und befürchten, dass sich Schadsoftware im PDF befinden könnte. Das war für mich der Wendepunkt: Ich entschied, Windows endgültig den Rücken zu kehren und auf Linux umzusteigen, egal mit welchen Aufwand auch immer.

Do you know JOPLIN? It's a nice European alternative to apps like Evernote, Google Keep, Notion, Microsoft OneNote.
Joplin is a free, open source note-taking and to-do application, which can handle a large number of notes organised into notebooks. You can search your notes, copy them, tag them and modify them either from the app itself or from your own text editor. The notes are in Markdown format, which is great.
It was created by Laurent Cozic 🇫🇷 back in 2016 as an alternative to Evernote. It's cloud service is hosted in Paris, France. They focus on privacy, security and transparency.
It's open source and offline-first, so you can always access your data on the device, even when you're not connected to the internet.
It's got all the basics you'd expect, and you can also attach images, videos, audio files and PDFs to your notebooks.
There's a huge community of people who have made extra features possible with their plugins.
It's also super easy to export and import your files, which is great if you're worried about vendor lock-in.
The handy web clipper extension lets you save web pages or take screenshots in the browser and save them to your notes.

Do you know JOPLIN? It's a nice European alternative to apps like Evernote, Google Keep, Notion, Microsoft OneNote.
Joplin is a free, open source note-taking and to-do application, which can handle a large number of notes organised into notebooks. You can search your notes, copy them, tag them and modify them either from the app itself or from your own text editor. The notes are in Markdown format, which is great.
It was created by Laurent Cozic 🇫🇷 back in 2016 as an alternative to Evernote. It's cloud service is hosted in Paris, France. They focus on privacy, security and transparency.
It's open source and offline-first, so you can always access your data on the device, even when you're not connected to the internet.
It's got all the basics you'd expect, and you can also attach images, videos, audio files and PDFs to your notebooks.
There's a huge community of people who have made extra features possible with their plugins.
It's also super easy to export and import your files, which is great if you're worried about vendor lock-in.
The handy web clipper extension lets you save web pages or take screenshots in the browser and save them to your notes.
Check all the features in their website:

A digital screenshot of Joplin, a note-taking app, displayed on both a laptop and a smartphone. The laptop screen shows a note titled "Vintage Piano Store idea" with a checklist, a table for "Meetings this week," and an image section labeled "Poster ideas" containing pictures of a colorful piano and a vinyl record player. The left sidebar contains sections for notebooks ("Personal" and "Work") and tags. The smartphone screen displays the same note in a mobile-friendly layout, showing the meeting schedule table and images. The interface has a dark theme sidebar and a light theme editor with rich text formatting and task management features.

Softwaremonopole sind teuer und stehen dem #Datenschutz im Weg. Deshalb setzt die Verwaltung in Schleswig-Holstein zukünftig auf #OpenSourceSoftware. Seit kurzem können wir im Gericht #LibreOffice nutzen, Ende des Jahres wird es Pflicht. Der Umstieg fiel uns leicht, da wir es auch zu Hause nutzen. Und von unseren Kolleg:innen hat auch noch keine:r gemurrt.

@DoctorBLLK@mastodon.gamedev.place
I am not a code contributor on open source projects. I will be at some point, but that's beside the point here, I just lack perspective.
Is there a clear answer on this: when an open source project is backed by a company with dedicated developers: whose responsibility is it to make continuous or major changes beyond bug fixes and feature requests?
I'm thinking like architectural changes, fundamental stuff. Is there any kind of common practice in this realm?

#ReleaseMonday — One of the recent (already very useful!) new package additions to #ThingUmbrella is:
Leaky buckets are commonly used in communication networks for rate limiting, traffic shaping and bandwidth control, but are equally useful in other domains requiring similar constraints.
A Leaky Bucket is a managed counter with an enforced maximum value (i.e. bucket capacity). The counter is incremented for each a new event to check if it can/should be processed. If the bucket capacity has already been reached, the bucket will report an overflow, which we can then handle accordingly (e.g. by dropping or queuing events). The bucket also has a configurable time interval at which the counter is decreasing (aka the "leaking" behavior) until it reaches zero again (i.e. until the bucket is empty). Altogether, this setup can be utilized to ensure both an average rate, whilst also supporting temporary bursting in a controlled fashion...
Related, I've also updated/simplified the rate limiter interceptor in https://thi.ng/server to utilize this new package...

Let me take you #linux people on a little journey. Right now, there is a war. A war between those who fear the future of #nix and #NixOS and those who are apparently not getting the point.
To call something #opensource can mean so much nowadays. When it comes to the idea of an enterprise nixpkgs vs the open source or "community" #nixpkgs, I think it's time to make it clear:
#DeterminateSystems wants to have it's own #RHEL. Functions are decoupled from nix for a reason.

I'm 57 next month and since I got access to help, that requires diagnoses, from mid August -> my life has changed to the better so much, so fast (keeps accelerating) and in ways that is quite a journey that just keeps going.

Open source does not always mean it is community friendly and open to community contributions. Some software is open sourced and in the public domain but does not accept (or rarely accepts) contributions back from the community. I see many naturally think open source means open and that they can always contribute their work back.

I just lost access to a substantial amount of issues on one of my #GitHub projects.
I would appreciate if people could help upvote https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/153161 to get more attention.
GitHub staff won't even tell me how much data they've hidden from me, which is quite discouraging :(
ALT text details
A GitHub Support discussion. The discussion is too long to put in alt-text, but to summarize, "something" happened to an account of someone who reported issues to my project and GitHub has silently hidden all those issues. Support basically told me they would not help restore the data, that this is by design, and that I should open a feature request.petersuber

Update. "Safeguarding Research & Culture — Distributing Cultural Memory"
https://safeguarding-research.discourse.group/about
"The destruction of knowledge and cultural heritage has happened, and therefore it can happen again. We are in the middle of that happening, whether it is caused by human action or natural causes…Safeguarding Research & Culture (#SRC) is creating an alternative #infrastructure for archiving and disseminating of cultural heritage and scientific knowledge…Together, we can ensure that our cultural, intellectual and scientific heritage exists in multiple copies, in multiple places, and that no single entity or group of entities can make it all disappear. Our archive is built according to the principles of #FAIR and #CARE, based on open technologies and standards, and resilient against loss via meaningfully distributed storage…Everyone, from individuals to institutions, can participate by accessing, contributing, and supporting these archival infrastructures."

China plans to issue a policy to encourage the use of RISC-V chips nationwide for the first time. The policy is being drafted by eight government bodies, including the Cyberspace Administration of China and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

I don't think its an illusion. #Opensource is increasingly breaking into the mainstream, in various ways. You don't mention #bluesky :-) but it *has* been a massive success.
I am convinced that even the much joked about #linux desktop will see its infamous year: its just the perfect platform for user-centered, local / private ML/AI etc.
The thing is, while winning *is* inevitable it doesn't mean we have a concrete timescale. So much depends on the state of a crazy world.

Mein Weg zu Linux!
Mein Einstieg in die Welt von Linux verlief ähnlich wie bei vielen anderen.
Mein erster #Computer war ein #Schneider/#Amstrad CPC 464, gefolgt vom Commodore 64 und später dem #Amiga 500+. Diese Geräte markierten den Beginn meiner Leidenschaft für Videospiele.
Anschließend kam ein PC mit einem #Intel 386 Prozessor und einem Internetanbieter von #Compuserve. Dies war mein erster Schritt in die Windows-Welt, und ich begann mit der Version 3.11. und dann W95.
Der PC, den ich damals hatte, wurde hauptsächlich zum Spielen und gelegentlich zum Schreiben verwendet. Zu jener Zeit war der Zugang zu #Software natürlich nicht so umfangreich wie heute. Es gab nur eine begrenzte Auswahl an Programmen und Spielen, was die Nutzung des Computers stark beeinflusste.
Dann kam Windows #XP, das damals als das ultimative #Betriebssystem galt und bis heute als eines der besten Windows-Versionen, das aus Redmond veröffentlicht wurde. Es revolutionierte die Nutzung von PCs und setzte neue Maßstäbe in der Benutzerfreundlichkeit und Stabilität.
Als Nächstes kam Windows #Vista, das das komplette Gegenteil von XP darstellte. Es wurde weitgehend verhasst und war, um es milde auszudrücken, einfach nur enttäuschend. In dieser Zeit begann ich, nach einer Alternative zu suchen, da ich mit den Problemen von Vista unzufrieden war.
Die erste Linux-CD, eine runde silberne Scheibe, war #knoppix Ich glaube, ich habe sie damals in einer Computerzeitschrift entdeckt. Ich versuchte, sie zum Laufen zu bringen, aber das war damals alles andere als einfach, im Vergleich zu den heutigen Möglichkeiten.
Mein Glück war, dass es sich bereits um eine Live-CD handelte. Ich war überrascht, dass ich es schaffte, sie zum Laufen zu bringen, ohne Windows vorher zu starten.
Ich war zunächst überrascht, wie einfach das mit der Live-CD funktionierte, und experimentierte eine Weile damit herum. Dennoch konnte ich mich nicht wirklich damit anfreunden. Also blieb ich weiterhin bei Windows, auch wenn es mich oft frustrierte. Eines Tages hatte ich Kontakt mit einer Firma, der ich ein PDF-Dokument per E-Mail zusenden sollte. Ich verschickte das gewünschte PDF und wartete auf eine Rückmeldung. Als ich nach einer Woche nichts gehört hatte, rief ich die Firma an, um nachzufragen, ob sie das Dokument erhalten hätten. Dabei wurde mir mitgeteilt, dass sie grundsätzlich keine PDFs öffnen, die per E-Mail verschickt werden, da sie mit Windows arbeiten und befürchten, dass sich Schadsoftware im PDF befinden könnte. Das war für mich der Wendepunkt: Ich entschied, Windows endgültig den Rücken zu kehren und auf Linux umzusteigen, egal mit welchen Aufwand auch immer.

Mozilla's new direction of Firefox is scary. They seem to forget that the core audience is using Firefox for privacy and security and not for AI features.

It took a long time to sort through things, make connections, and get a handle on the ecosystem, but I feel like I’m in a good place to start building an open source game-making community. 🎮
We run learning programs at @EndlessOS where we help teach kids how to contribute to an open source game (and a bunch of the skills that come along with that), but right now there’s not really a community to *invite them into* after the fact. I want to fix that.

Hey everyone, what's cooking in the open-source universe? 🤯 I just stumbled upon something that's seriously mind-blowing.
So, there's this Python library pretending to be a music tool (automslc), but get this – it's actually illegally downloading songs from Deezer! And the worst part? It turns your computer into an accomplice in a huge music piracy operation. Seriously, a digital pirate cove. 🏴☠️
And then there's this npm saga with @ton-wallet/create... Crypto wallet emptied, just like that! 💸
The moral of the story? Open source rocks, but blindly trusting everything is a recipe for disaster. Always double-check those dependencies! Automated scans are cool, but a real penetration test? That's pure gold. 🥇
Clients are always so appreciative when we can spot and fix this kind of stuff beforehand!
Now, I'm curious: What are your go-to methods for keeping your codebase squeaky clean and secure? Any tips or tricks you'd like to share?

Something that brings together a GitHub-like tool with a Figma-like tool would be good for open-source software.
It would not only make it easier for software-developers and UI-designers & UX-researchers to work together — but it could make it easier for them to find each other.
The vast majority of open-source applications either lack good UI & UX or are copies of other things, because — there was no one with a UI or UX background on the project.

It's so wild that people in 2025 still say things like "we need to leave politics out they are divisive".
My beautiful #opensource #foss4g people, everything geographical, everything touching computers, is a political act. Code is political. Maps are political, data are political. Claiming to be apolitical is a political stance.
Is politics divisive? Intrinsically no! It's a forum of ideas about how we live. Only divisive when ego and greed and short termism is dominant.

A KickStarter for an open-source CyberDeck based on the Raspberry Pi and Linux. Actually 2 of them — a 5" version and a 7" version.
I love the retro look of these 🙂
Apparently this funded in 5 minutes! But, anyone can still get one.
I like that this also has a touch-screen. Many of the alternatives don't.

We often speak of companies’ support of #OpenSource maintenance as a moral obligation. This is in some sense true, but given their incentive structure, it may not be a useful way to express it. Corporations are fundamentally amoral actors and if we want to modify their behavior we need to treat them as such. But! In a rational profit-maximizing world, large corporations ought to be *super* enthused about paying big gobs of money towards open source, both as risk management *and cost reduction*.

It can perform DNS lookups and display the answers that are returned from the name server(s) that were queried. drill offers an alternative implementation to BIND's Domain Information Groper (dig) tool. As drill has nothing in common with either NSD nor BIND, it ensures that debugging and testing is done using an independent code base.

I kind of want to put together a collection of wallpapers that work well with the GNOME/elementary OS light/dark style. The GNOME ones are excellent, but I have a handful I’ve made or compiled over the years that could make a nice set.
The obvious way to me to do this is to make an app for Flathub, so you can get them on any distro—but I kind of don’t want to have to figure out the actual app logic. Anyone want to help me? 🥺

Fedora v42 will be released next month as a BETA.
But Ultramarine Linux is stuck on v40. They'll tell you that there is an upgrade path, but you cannot freshly install v41, because they refuse to release an ISO / Image file.
What happen is the development took on too much too soon, and rather than admit this, they keep deferring, endlessly. I have previously offered to pay them to hire a developer or so they, themselves, could dedicate more time, and I have repeatedly shared their code here on the Fediverse (hoping someone can help them). -- If you think you can help them, try reaching out.
The development is not dead, just lacking either resources or direction. They could have released an Anaconda release, and I've been asking them to please do so, but, nope.
I still think Ultramarine Linux (KDE Plasma) is the most user-friendly distro, but at this time, I will not be funding or promoting Ultramarine Linux further.

I remembered GNOME Web has had web extensions support in development for some time, and enabled it…
Unfortunately the two extensions I’d most love (Bitwarden and Dark Reader) are not working for me in stable, tech preview, or canary. :( It seems like the feature where an extension embeds a web view in the popover is broken. Still, it’s exciting to see this nearly there—does anyone know if it’s actively being worked on, or sort of stuck in its current state?

I've been involved in the open-source movement in some capacity for almost a quarter century now. In all that time, I've seen a steady stream of assertions about how "open source has failed". We ignored them and we kept building.
Here's the thing: in 2003 it was from large, powerful, mainstream sources: MSNBC, NYT, etc.
Now I only see it from luddites, puritopians, and other do-nothings. Almost everyone else has to take us seriously.
Keep doing the work, my friends.

"Pilet: Opensource, Modular, Portable Mini Computer"
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/soulscircuit/pilet-opensource-modular-portable-mini-computer
A KickStarter for an open-source CyberDeck based on the Raspberry Pi and Linux. Actually 2 of them — a 5" version and a 7" version.
I love the retro look of these 🙂
Apparently this funded in 5 minutes! But, anyone can still get one.
I like that this also has a touch-screen. Many of the alternatives don't.

@BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social A 20 year old bug, is still a bug. The whole "it is a feature" is just lazy development (or one that does not know how to fix their own issues). Glibc is something the Linux ecosystem should not have become depended on given the issues, but kept trying to work around, instead of seeking or creating an alternative.

"Do what you want, the risk is yours."
Could that be the shortest and clearest #PublicDomain license - with no strings attached about things I create and is judged by laws like copyright and ownership to fully have control over - possible?
My goal is to eradicate all and every dependency between me and everyone else. Including having to repeatedly take time to explain what the #license not comes with.
If it holds I think I should be able to really focus my flow to the #OpenSource way of life.

Caterpillar Proxy (Songchoongi Project) was deployed in January 2024 to counter a large-scale spam attack on the ActivityPub (Fediverse) network.
It has since evolved into a framework for processing real-time emergency disaster sensors, such as fire detection signals, and is now actively used to enhance public safety.
This proves that #opensource network stacks can be adapted for diverse applications beyond their original purpose.

You're a newbie and as a newbie, you want a system that "just works".
You are OK with learning if you must, but the truth is, you would rather a system that is already familiar, and out of the box, the only thing you want to set up is your Wi-Fi (maybe printer). To be perfectly honest, you simply want point and click easy, just like Windows or Apple.
Ultramarine Linux (Kde Plasma) is what you seek.

@toxi@mastodon.thi.ng
Latest attempt at building better documentation for https://thi.ng/umbrella (also to make it available offline!): Having noticed that recent versions of TypeDoc support extracting & merging of doc strings from monorepos, over the past few weeks I've been updating/cleaning docstrings in hundreds of source files across all 200+ packages and started building a small tool to assemble a single/mega-page documentation (currently ~4.3MB of just HTML). The tool translates existing docstrings and references contained therein (and still used for the existing API docs) to support proper cross-package references.
I've uploaded an early preview here:
https://docs.thi.ng/umbrella/
Please be aware that so far this is only an early stage prototype and only contains very limited docs. I.e. there are no generics/typeparams, no details about classes/interfaces... But at least I know now HOW to add this all, as well as all the additional metadata I've already got (currently still only available via other custom tools/examples).
For example, there're links to the tag-based browser[1] and I'm also planning to add the fuzzy doc search engine/index[2] to this new documentation... The tag browser integration still needs more work in terms of correctly matching package names to tags. The underlying system is there already, just needs more work in terms of actually doing/assigning the concept mapping. Since most package names in thi.ng/umbrella are very plain/boring (for a reason), for many (most?) packages this already works pretty well:
Example: Visiting the WebGL package docs: https://docs.thi.ng/umbrella/#webgl and then clicking on "examples" for this package, then opens the tag browser for WebGL: https://demo.thi.ng/umbrella/thing-browser/#webgl where you can then see all other packages and examples related to this topic...
More updates on this all soon! Excited! 🤩

If we then come up with some great idea for say a client side algorithm, or some alternative ad networking technology, you can then wrap that up in a plan for an organization and apply for funding.
From that you can start figuring out the various ways to make a business off the resulting systems.
But they have to be open, give power to the user and allow for competition. This is why #OpenSource is so important, because it levels the playing field.

NASA's switch to Linux in space was driven by reliability, flexibility, and security concerns. The International Space Station (ISS) originally relied on Windows, but astronauts frequently encountered crashes and instability. In 2013, NASA announced that all laptops on the ISS would transition to Debian, a Linux-based operating system, to improve stability and control over software.
This change wasn’t just about reliability. Windows was much more vulnerable to malware, and in 2007, a worm named W32.Gammima.AG spread to the ISS. With Linux, NASA gained the ability to modify and customize the system for mission-critical applications without depending on proprietary software. Today, Linux powers much of NASA’s space infrastructure, from ISS systems to Mars rovers and beyond.

Even if you’ve never used Godot or another game engine before, it’s relatively easy to get started. Grab the latest Godot Engine, clone the repo, and copy the Sample world.

@Linux_Is_Best I disagree. There were #opensource operating systems like #bsd before #linux under a permissive license. Companies like #apple took their work and made #macos without giving back.
#linux is gaining mainstream attention because the linux kernel uses the #gpl2 license. Any derivative works of the Linux kernel should be open source. The #gnu toolchain like compiler, bash, command line tools etc are parts of your Linux distribution.
So GNU made the world take open source seriously.

@Linux_Is_Best@misskey.de
I like Linux, but I dislike GNU.
We could have had gaming on Linux, 20 years ago, and better hardware support 25 years ago. But those old school GNU fanatics kept trying to hold onto their so-called moral superiority concerning everything needing to be 100% free and 100% open source and 100% on licensing and 100% ... blah blah blah.
Do you know why Linux today is truly becoming successful? Why you can game on Steam, and why even Microsoft now releases Linux, software? Because enough people finally got the idea to compromise. It is as simple as that.
Yes, Linux is still primarily open source, but those Gnu fanatics that were leading everything, are no longer holding the majority of us hostage. -- And we're all better for it.

I was explaining some aspects of the #fediverse to someone, and how with apps being #opensource anyone could fork&modify and still integrate with other unmodified (or modified differently) servers. And eventually it came up that that's basically what happened with livejournal vs deadjournal. I was never a user there, but IIUC livejournal was opensource but some ppl wanted a darker aesthetic, so they made deadjournal. Same concept, but with federation the two would be able to talk to each other.

The Techno Anarchist Manifesto aka Let’s fuck up Techno Feudalism
This practical and profanity-laced manifesto provides the loose philosophy, strategies, battleplans, tactics, and weapons to destroy Techno Feudalism via the practice of Techno Anarchism. It explains the war we are in, the Techno battle’s place in it, and what Techno Feudalism and Techno Anarchism are.
Don’t worry, I not going to start capping tech CEOs anytime soon. I’m not a 1914 anarchist or advocating for it in general.
Introduction
The same day I started writing this article about some ideas floating in my head, Joan Westenberg kind of beat me to the punch on its premise.
This piece will now be more expansive and a sort of manifesto.
I want to focus my thoughts regarding the battle against Techno Feudalism. And narrow my scope. And be systemic.
I will build whatever this ends up being in public. And put my masters degree in Political Science to work. So, this is just the start of a living document. I will update it with more of the philosophy of Techno Anarchism (and other points) in the coming weeks.
It’s also the first thing I’ve written that needs a table of contents.
Here’s what we’re exploring:
- Introduction
- Late Stage Capitalism / Techno Feudalism
- The War
- Enshittification
- The Winnable Battle
- Resources
The Mission
As supporters of democracy we need to engage in a positive fight against this timeline’s bullshit in a manner we can control ourselves.
Our goal should be to destroy autocracy rather than protect democracy. Simply because most of us live in autocracies unfortunately.
Still, we must reform both democracy and neuter it’s biggest threat, Big Tech.
I aim to make this writing more actionable than academic. We need action on the individual level and in small groups – neighborhoods, communities (geographical or digital), libraries, companies, unions, teams, non-profits, associations, clubs, schools, real churches, credit unions, local governments, the arts, independent media, etc. These groups have always been the building blocks of democracy. And they must be nurtured through use and membership.
I call the solution I propose to combat autocracy and Techno Feudalism, Techno Anarchism. While political anarchism as defined by Wikipedia is currently unlikely if not impossible. You will see that in the tech arena, it is possible.
“Major definitional elements of anarchism include the will for a non-coercive society, the rejection of the state apparatus, the belief that human nature allows humans to exist in or progress toward such a non-coercive society, and a suggestion on how to act to pursue the ideal of anarchy.”
It’s idealistic but not 100% practical. But we can build its practicality via our interactions with tech.
Now, Wikipedia defines a manifesto as:
“A manifesto is a written declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer, be it an individual, group, political party, or government. A manifesto can accept a previously published opinion or public consensus, but many prominent manifestos—such as The Communist Manifesto (1848) and those of various artistic movements—reject accepted knowledge in favor of a new idea.”
Is that what this will be? I think it mostly will.
The Problem
But, before going into the details of this manifesto, let’s explore our major problem as humans, what and who we are fighting, and the bigger war that the techno feudalism versus anarchism battle takes place in.
First, let’s look at the problem, ourselves. We have not evolved enough as humans to keep up with the culture, economies, and technology we’ve developed. That’s why we feel alienated and a little lost.
We need a purpose be it one dictated by religion (for the weak-minded) or philosophy. Or a very strong personal moral framework which is difficult. We might even get by with a manifesto. 😉 What we want to avoid is ideologies.
In general our overwhelmed brains need structure for things we don’t understand or can’t explain. We want simple, not the truth, which is why autocrats have an advantage. We’re mostly uneducated, unaware, unobservant, and intellectually lazy so we want easy answers.
Greg Epstein’s book, Tech Agnostic: How Technology Became the World’s Most Powerful Religion, and Why It Desperately Needs a Reformation has this:
“Today technology is the water in which we swim, whether on not we notice we are fish. Tech provides contemporary Western lives, so polarized and divided in countless ways, with a universal organizing principle… It offers myriad rites, capturing our attention and transforming our consciousness, connecting us with a community of people who spend their days…indeed their entire lives engaging in the same repetitive behaviors with the same fervent intensity.
Naturally, we all hope our devotion to this community of fellow travelers will bear fruit: surely tech will lead to a better future! Even a kind of paradise! But the truth is many of us fear, more than we’d like to admit, this may all be heading to a deeply dark place.
In other words: technology has become a religion.”
As you see, Big Tech now functions as a religion. It provides answers as more people reject the horseshit of traditional religion.
But, there’s no putting the genie back in the bottle so it needs to be reformed into a more satisfying religion. More the Tao of Pooh than the Old Testament and Revelations. More philosophy and morality for how to live life and less damnation, doctrine, and hate. One grown by us not tech oligarchs. More good, less evil. Ok.
More on this will follow in future updates.
Late Stage Capitalism / Techno Feudalism
Next let’s take a look at economics. Currently we are stuck in the economic model of capitalism. The problem is that it’s not really capitalism. It’s rigged, crony, oligarchic capitalism headed back toward feudalism. Some argue persuasively that it has already fully evolved into Techno Feudalism.
So, let’s define Techno Feudalism.
Is it a malign denomination of the Tech religion?
The child of Big Tech and Late Stage / Crony Capitalism?
Or just a bunch of cunts in Silicon Valley?
Yanis Varoufakis coined the term Techno Feudalism. So, here’s his hypothesis:
“… capitalism is dead, in the sense that its dynamics no longer govern our economies. … that role … has been replaced by something fundamentally different, which I call techno feudalism.
… the thing that killed capitalism is capital itself. Not capital as we have known it since the dawn of the industrial revolution, a new form of capital, a mutation of it that has arisen in the last two decades, so much more powerful that its predecessor that like a stupid, overzealous virus it has killed off its host.”
How’s that for an academic sentence. 😉
He continues:
“… capital’s mutation into what I call cloud capital has demolished capitalism’s two pillars: markets and profits.
Markets, the medium of capitalism, have been replaced by digital trading platforms, which look like, but are not markets, and are better understood as fiefdoms. And profit, the engine of capitalism, has been replaced with its feudal predecessor, rent.
… the owners of tradition capital … have become vassals in relation to a new class of feudal overlord, the owners of cloud capital.
… the rest of us have returned to our former status a serfs … contributing to the wealth and power of the new ruling class with our unpaid labor – in addition to the waged labor we perform, when we get the chance.”
Does this sound familiar? I think so.
And who wants to be a fucking serf? Not me.
More on this will follow in future updates.
The subject of equality is obviously relevant to feudal overlords and serfs.
In his book, A Brief History of Equality, Thomas Piketty writes:
“…since the end of the eighteenth century there has been a historical movement toward equality. The world of the early 2020s, no matter how unjust it may seem, is more egalitarian than that of 1950 or that of 1900, which were themselves more egalitarian than those of 1850 or 1780. ..over the long term, no matter the criterion we employ, we arrive at the same conclusion. Between 1780 and 2020 we see developments tending toward greater equality…
To continue… crises and power relations are necessary, as was the case in the past, but we will also need processes of learning and collective engagement, as well as mobilization around new political programs and proposals for new institutions.
Resistance by elites is a reality, in a world in which transnational billionaires are richer than states, much as in the French revolution. Such resistance can be overcome only by powerful collective mobilization during moments of crises and tension.
To ensure that everyone can contribute… in a decentralized way, we must develop new forms of sovereignism with a universalist vocation.”
I maintain that Techno Feudalism is contributing to the current slow to non-existent grow of equality. And I also maintain that Techno Anarchism can reverse the trend and grow equality via small-scale social mobilization and personal-data-sovereignty among other strategies to destroy Techno Feudalism.
Politics aka The War
Now, on to politics. Let’s begin with a few points. And a quick note, this isn’t about parties, but policies and exercising political rights.
Autocracy is a threat to democracy. Authoritarianism is a threat to human rights. Fascism is a threat to minorities. Autocrats, Fascists (secular or religious), and Communists are the bad guys.
However, unregulated capitalism and digital technology are a deadlier threat to democracy. Big Money and Big Tech equal the really bad guys. Oligarchs suck.
These two threats to human freedom go hand in hand. Unbound capitalism leads to fascist / authoritarian governments which lead to corrupt, crony capitalism or state capitalism aka hypocritical communism. Both of which erode and eventually destroy democracy, the environment, and human rights.
So, we need to reform and regulate large-scale capitalism and keep autocracy at bay. And again, reform democracy to function in the world we now live in.
Tech both in its Silicon Valley incarnation and the tools of repression Chinese / Israeli model are destroying democracy. One via corrupt, oligarchic capitalism / Techno Feudalism. And one via authoritarianism.
In we want democracy to survive we must fight these two tech models along with autocrats, autocratic political parties, autocratic nations, and autocratic ideologies.
More on this will follow in future updates.
The War’s Combatants
To reiterate, the larger war which I think of as WWIII is one between supporters of democracy and what I call the Evil Empire (Reagan is dead and I have commandeered the term!):
- Unregulated Capitalists / Techno Feudalists
- Big Tech in general
- Autocrats
The Evil Empire
Unregulated capitalist oligarchs, and Techno Feudalists
We’ve seen who they are.
More on this will follow in future updates.
Big Tech which is mostly Techno Feudalists, and some Techno Fascists
In her book, The Tech Coup: How to Save Democracy from Silicon Valley, Marietje Schaake writes:
“…the fact that our social, professional, and civil lives are increasingly digitized and, essentially, all aspects of digitation are in the hands of private companies; that certain technologies have inherent antidemocratic characteristics, while laws to protect democratic values and the rule of law are lagging; and that, most important, democratic governments’ outsourcing of key functions has led to a hollowing out of government’s core capabilities.
These systemic problems are now undermining the core principles of democracy: free and fair elections, the rule of law, the separation of powers, a well-informed, public debate, national security and the protection of civil liberties such as freedom of expression, the presumption of innocence, and the right to privacy.
As digitization progresses, we see a gradual shift in responsibility and power away from democratic leaders. This shift accelerates two trends: growing digital authoritarianism and a wholesale decline in democratic governance.”
We are the frogs being slowly boiled in the pot as the temperature rises. But, it’s not a fucking joke.
More on this will follow in future updates.
Autocrats
You are probably most familiar with these villains. They either rule your country or are a political party(ies) in it.
In her book, Autocracy Inc: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World Anne Applebaum writes:
“Unlike military or political alliances from other times and places, (today’s Autocrats) operates not like a bloc but rather like an agglomeration of companies, bound not by ideology but rather by a ruthless, single-minded determination to preserve their personal wealth and power, Autocracy, Inc.
Their bonds with one another, and with their friends in the democratic world, are cemented not through ideals but through deals – deals designed to take the edge off sanctions, to exchange surveillance technology, to help one another get rich.
Autocracy, Inc., offers its members not only money and security but also something less tangible, impunity.
Their enmity toward the democratic world is not merely some form of traditional geopolitical competition… (It) …has its roots in the very nature of the democratic political system, in words “accountability,” “transparency,” and “democracy.” They hear that language coming from the democratic world, they hear the same language coming from their on dissidents, and they seek to destroy them both.”
More on this will follow in future updates.
Democracy Supporters / Enlightened Humans
This is short. It’s us. At least the intelligent ones in the “Western World”, Oceana, Japan, and South Korea rules-based world. Plus a few other countries in the global south and various dissidents everywhere.
Enshittification
Before moving on to Techno Anarchism, here’s a quick note about Enshittification. It is part of techno feudalism. Chicken or the egg first? I don’t know.
But, Cory Doctorow describes enshittification like this:
“Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a “two-sided market”, where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, hold each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them.”
So, not only are Techno Feudalists part of the evil empire, their products suck as well.
Ok, enough about the cunts. Let’s move on the good guys.
The Winnable Battle
Will democracy win the war against autocracy? Who knows? It’s an eternal war that the bad guys currently have the upper hand in. And have had for the last decade or two. And have had for 99.99% of human history. Make what you will of that.
But, one of the war’s largest current battles can definitely be won. Equality can continue to grow. And our lives can be improved. And the world’s apocalypse can be delayed.
This battle is the one where Techno Anarchism opposes Techno Feudalism.
It is winnable because this victory can be achieved at the personal and small group level. It also has the advantage that the bad guys can’t defeat it (only resist it). Only apathy (which is also hard to overcome) can defeat Techno Anarchism. If you have a hundred million of drops of water you might drown an elephant. If you have a hundred you can’t even get one toe wet.
It’s also winnable because it’s more of a matter of changing habits (difficult) than political beliefs (extremely difficult). Anarchists and libertarians can be partial allies here along with many other freedom lovers.
And partial is important because this battle’s tactics are modular. It’s not all or nothing. You can take it one step at a time. It’s easy to be a soldier and not too hard to be an officer. You can increase your efforts over time as you get in the martial groove. Hopefully, you can even become a general.
Techno Anarchism
Finally, let’s move on to Techno Anarchism / Digital Distributism and Digital Sovereignty (which is slightly different). This is the philosophy, strategies, and actions needed to defeat Techno Feudalism.
As I mentioned before, Joan Westenberg published something similar to my gestating thoughts. So, let’s not reinvent the wheel and look as her points.
The article in question is The Revolution Will Be Decentralized. It’s not really a revolution, but more a radical adjustment of habits. But, if it happens it will be decentralized. Anyway, take a break and go read her article now! You may need to eat lunch too.
You’re back. Great.
She uses the terms Digital Democracy and Digital Feudalism versus Techno Anarchism and Techno Feudalism.
Westenberg’s central idea addresses both distribution and personal data sovereignty:
“The implementation of Digital Distributism rests on three foundational pillars: infrastructure commons, data sovereignty, and algorithmic democracy. Each pillar requires specific technical and organizational structures to function effectively.
The revolution toward digital democracy begins with individual choices. Every person who moves to decentralized platforms weakens the grip of tech monopolies. Every contribution to open source projects builds alternative infrastructure. Every act of resistance against surveillance and control helps shift the balance of power.
But individual action is not, is never enough. It must be coupled with collective organization. We need coordinated efforts to build and promote alternatives. We need political movements that understand the connection between digital and democratic power. We need communities dedicated to practicing digital distributism in their own operations.
The infrastructure of freedom won’t build itself. But neither did the infrastructure of control. Every system of power depends on the daily choices of millions of individuals. Will we shape the change toward digital democracy or submit to digital feudalism?”
That’s the question. And fortunately you can answer it.
How? With a blast from the past.
Joan and I both propose a similar idea, the Digital Distributist Alternative (Joan) and Techno Anarchism (me).
But FYI, these are not new ideas. They existed before as an alternative to capitalism and socialism. Unfortunately, they didn’t win out.
Distributism
Traditional Distributism is summarized by Wikipedia as:
”Distributism is an economic theory asserting that the world’s productive assets should be widely owned rather than concentrated. Developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, distributism was based upon Catholic social teaching principles, especially those of Pope Leo XIII in his encyclical Rerum novarum (1891) and Pope Pius XI in Quadragesimo anno (1931). It has influenced Anglo Christian Democratic movements, and has been recognized as one of many influences on the social market economy.
Distributism views laissez-faire capitalism and state socialism as equally flawed and exploitative, due to their extreme concentration of ownership. Instead, it favors small independent craftsmen and producers; or, if that is not possible, economic mechanisms such as cooperatives and member-owned mutual organisations, as well as small to medium enterprises and vigorous anti-trust laws to restrain or eliminate overweening economic power.”
Joan says:
“Digital Distributism updates this framework for the internet age, recognizing that digital infrastructure is now as fundamental to human flourishing as land was in the agricultural era. It offers a comprehensive alternative to digital feudalism by reimagining how we structure and govern the technologies that increasingly mediate human existence.”
Techno Distributism / Anarchism is the modern equivalent fighting Techno Feudalism as opposed to unregulated capitalism and state socialism. And it has a better chance of coming out on top. It’s more about the means of computation and consumption versus the means of production.
We’re digital serfs here, not the proletariat.
More on this will follow in future updates.
So, we now have our nebulously defined movement, Techno Anarchism. How do we win the war against its all to real foe?
By slowly killing Techno Feudalism with weapons of course.
The Arsenal of Techno Anarchism
Okay, so what are the weapons we can use to destroy Techno Feudalism?
Open Source Technology
We start by using open-source technology. Again, it has the advantage that it can’t be bought and enshittified at scale.
Let’s examine the arsenal in detail. Please explore and start using these tools while dropping their enshittified, corporate, feudalistic alternatives. Obviously, all of these are not for everyone. But, do what you can.
They will also boost the privacy and security of your personal data aka your digital sovereignty.
More details on these individual tools will follow in future updates. For now please use the links.

Fediverse
In the home stretch, let’s look at the most powerful weapon against techno feudalism, The Fediverse.
Corporate social media is even worse than mass media. Millions of morons can get on it and pontificate as much as they want. It is used by extremists and conspiracy theorists to devastating effect. And it’s run by the motherfuckers behind techno feudalism. Today’s true rulers control the algorithms that show all this horseshit, encourage it, and addict us to following it.
In her book, Rulers: The People Who Turn Lies into Reality, Renee DiResta writes:
“My focus is on a profound transformation in the dynamics of power and influence, which have fundamentally shifted, and on how we, the citizens, can come to grips with a force that is altering our politics, our society, and our very relationship to reality. For sure, companies and governments must bear their burden of figuring out how to regulate this new space, and how to restore trust and shore up institutions, but we as citizens, have a responsibility to understand these dynamics so we can build healthy norms and fight back. This is the task of a new civics.”
Well said, though I have no faith in the companies doing shit and little faith in governments doing their part competently. So it falls to us as Techno Anarchists to unfuck this. We can do this by leaving corporate social media and moving to the Fediverse.
In his book, Governable Spaces: Democratic Design for Online Life, Nathan Schneider writes:
“The ways people can and cannot collectively self-govern in daily online life, furthermore, have been constrained in dominant social networks… the constraints on governance in online spaces have contributed to the peril of democratic politics in general. It is not enough to merely defend existing governmental institutions, healthy democracy depends on enabling creative new forms of self-governance, especially on networks.
If democracy is on the horizon (for humanity), self-governance is a plausible practice for moving in that direction. Governable Spaces, then, are where democratic self-governance can happen.
…the design of online social spaces has contributed to the atrophy of everyday democratic skills. (Fortunately) …the future of democracy can begin at the level of ordinary community, wherever we find ourselves together, where each of us has a chance to make a difference.”
You and I can have a profound impact on the governance of the Fediverse in addition to the good it does in the world. Pick a platform and get involved.
We covered the enshittification of corporate social media above.
For its The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation page, Cory Doctorow’s publisher wrote:
“When the tech platforms promised a future of “connection,” they were lying. They said their “walled gardens” would keep us safe, but those were prison walls.
The platforms locked us into their systems and made us easy pickings, ripe for extaction. Twitter, Facebook and other Big Tech platforms are hard to leave by design. They hold hostage the people we love, the communities that matter to us, the audiences and customers we rely on. The impossibility of staying connected to these people after you delete your account has nothing to do with technological limitations: it’s a business strategy in service to commodifying your personal life and relationships.
We can – we must – dismantle the tech platforms. (We must) …seize the means of computation, by forcing Silicon Valley to do the thing it fears most: interoperate. Interoperability will tear down the walls between technologies, allowing users leave platforms, remix their media, and reconfigure their devices without corporate permission.
Interoperability is the only route to the rapid and enduring annihilation of the platforms. The Internet Con is the disassembly manual we need to take back our internet.”
To counteract enshittification (and speed up the death of these feudal social platforms) we must seize the means of communication / computation via self-publishing with open-source tech. This is provided by personal websites built with open-source technology and distributed with RSS as seen earlier and via the Fediverse. Decentralization and interoperability are key. We must work for these results politically as well.
The Fediverse is the most formidable weapon of Techno Anarchy because it is unbuyable. It is unseizable if hosted in Europe. And it lets us focus on localism (again small groups) vs globalism. It’s distributed not siloed. And open-source not corporate. No ads, less harassment, and less bullshit greet you there. It’s also quite anarchic in general.

It’s a critical tactic to use these weapons. It’s also important to support them financially and to be active in their communities.
Tactics
Here are some more easy and local tactics.
Support the Independent Non-profit Press
The mass media is an unreliable ally in the war against autocracy much less the battle against Techno Feudalism.
Traditional journalism is flailing and failing. And it’s slowly going out of business. Plus, they are too spineless to save themselves. It’s because they are corporate and thus cowards. And they are mostly owned by cunts.
Instead, we need to support and patronize independent non-profit journalistic organizations. That means giving them money directly my fellow anarchists.
Like this publication the following examples are tech-oriented or political-oriented. But there are many for every issue you care about.
- Propublica
- 404 Media
- The Markup
- CalMatters
- The 19th News
- good internet magazine– coming soon
- Investigative Journalism Foundation
- Tech Policy
- Newsletters, unless they are on SubStack
- Public Media
Think Global, Buy Local
In general, please explore the principles of degrowth.
But in particular, before spending your capital, think about that decision’s impact on our planet and your fellow humans. That’s basic morality. And please buy physical products from a local brick and mortar store. And only if you need them.
More relevant to Techno Anarchism, buy digital products from small tech suppliers or open-source suppliers or non and not-for-profits. Donate as much money as you can to open-source technology and other non-profit service providers.
This is easy, it just takes a little conscious thought and avoiding lazy thinking. Or a lack of thinking.
Battleplan
I am sure you’re ready to kick some ass. So, what can you do? I think you mostly know by now. It’s not complex. We’re not invading Normandy here.
Digital Sovereignty
You must own your communications, own your data, own your digital identity, own your digital devices, and own your own online real estate. Use the open-source technology featured here. Use open-source hardware. Each time you do you place a nail in Techno Feudalism’s coffin. The more you use, the faster that death occurs.
Choose Your Weapons and Kill Techno Feudalism
Use the weapons in Techno Anarchism’s arsenal. Again, the battle against Techno Feudalism is modular. It’s not all or nothing. You can take it one step at a time or one weapon at a time. Put more nails in. And add as many as you can over time. Let’s shut that fucker tight.
As Joan says:
“Each new protocol, each independent instance, each decentralized application creates another crack in the walls of digital feudalism.”
You’re the General
Again, proceed at your pace. Rome wasn’t built or destroyed in a day and these corporate shits are difficult to leave. Intentionally.
We’re in WWIII here and its going to take a while to kill these fucks and cripple their allies. But, they are going to die. Inglorious bastards style but via Techno Anarchism not bullets or baseball bats. That’s the final resort I hope we never see.
Thanks for reading my semi-manifesto. Please share it, bookmark it, and come back to it later as a reference and to see its updates.
Keep Fighting, Anarchists! We can win this. The power is yours.

Happy #50forFOSS day.
This time around I donated to GIMP, an image editing tool I've used since high school. It's a fantastic piece of software, and even though I don't work in design or photography, I've used it more times than I can count—converting and resizing images, creating visual aids, making memes, it does everything.
Big shoutout to @GIMP for being my go-to for well over a decade.

Now for making Pixelix available on iOS we have to invest almost all of our profits we ever made from the app into hardware equipment, meaning we got not much back for our hard work. That is not really sustainable. We are currently still experimenting on how to make open source software development sustainable but as we figured that is a widespread problem which is not so easy to solve. (4/4) ->

Hey, so, we all know weather is going to get more dangerous over the next few years. Also, the USA weather services are probably not going to be operating at their best (to be optimistic). I know there are other sources, but the whole of the world society feels like it is on the edge of darkness. So...
Proposal/question: using the plethora of easily accessible data, compute, and brilliant people; how could we form a federated and decentralized weather service?
I imagine it would require some standardized protocols and modeling teams. Similar things do exist for other areas of research. However, I am an ecological modeler and know very little relevant information beyond using climate models. I am not completely sure what is needed for weather. Thoughts or ideas? Or is anyone even interested in this?

Canadian government employees all on GNU/Linux?
It can be done, and it has been done elsewhere:
"There are numerous other examples globally of government entities switching to Linux in favor of open source technology. Federal governments with particular interest in avoiding US-based technologies [...] are some examples. The South Korean government has also shared plans to move to Linux by 2026"

Another workshop done and glad I got a chance to introduce colleagues to the I Ching hexagrams as an example for #BottomUpDesign and as system for constructing/composing higher level concepts/meanings from just a small set of fundamental archetypes (in the I Ching there're only 8 fundamental trigrams)... It's been hugely influential and a guiding principle for my own work & design philosophy (incl. for most of my #OpenSource projects) and I keep finding ever new uses for applying this approach, here to devise a composable classification system, eventually allowing us to define more complex concepts... In world defined by #TopDownThinking, going the opposite way and showing people the benefits/flexibility is sometimes/oftentimes _very_ hard, but to me unquestionably more powerful...
Ps. Also reminded again of the whole Seed technology and essence/function (aka "ti-yong") contrast/discussion/subplots in Stephenson's Diamond Age... Yong is the outer manifestation of something. Ti is the underlying essence...

The #Fediverse is free, free of censorship, federated and full of great content!
Also the Fediverse - instance admins randomly blocking whole instances just because a single user feels offended of a post by a single instance user. Blocking whole instances is just a finger snip away, censoring unwanted content and parenting users of instances. Defederating just because of… ok no clue :) Using content warner for any possible content just to annoy or aeemmm make it more interesting to other users. Thanks, I’m old enough :) Seeing all the spam because it’s just a thing of 5 minutes automation to create randomly new instances on different domains (or subdomains from dynamic-ip hosters) and to fill the network with automated content.
Sometimes, pros can easily switch into cons… luckily more and more single user instances are raising up for exactly this reasons and can still easily federate by using relays…

Music and code are an absolute delightful combination. Code repositories should include a MUSIC.md file that includes a playlist of songs on repeat while developing the codebase. Or at least "Music Inspirations" from each contributor. That would make for some interesting statistics! 🎵
I wonder if code quality or style would correlate with shared music tastes? Maybe certain genres inspire different coding patterns...

Really excited to be starting to focus more and more of my time into building a better home for #OpenSource #Software, on top of @radicle - a peer-to-peer forge !
#GitHub and #Microsoft (or any $megacorp) cannot be trusted as the sole hosts of any #PublicGood, like #OpenSource.
It's time to take back some of that control, before it's too late.
With #Radicle, you can seed projects, like you seed #torrents - ensuring that they stay available, despite corporate agendas.

Start by moving Opensource related foundations the fu*ck away from the USA.

Don't host international events in US soil. Most foreign attendees will go through a lot of uncertainties, no one wants to risk going to Guantanamo Bay because of a tech conference.

Stefano Maffulli (@osi) is giving the next talk about #OpenSource and AI.
In AI there's no source and conflicts with the #OpenSource definition. For over a year they have worked with lots of experts from all over the world to study different models to come back with an answer. They've got a definition that comes with a set of conditions.
Big techs don't like that definition. They claim that's different. Regulation should happen on the deployment.
Oh, and Meta's #Llama is not #OpenSource

The Techno Anarchist Manifesto aka Let’s fuck up Techno Feudalism
This practical and profanity-laced manifesto provides the loose philosophy, strategies, battleplans, tactics, and weapons to destroy Techno Feudalism via the practice of Techno Anarchism. It explains the war we are in, the Techno battle’s place in it, and what Techno Feudalism and Techno Anarchism are.
Don’t worry, I not going to start capping tech CEOs anytime soon. I’m not a 1914 anarchist or advocating for it in general.
Introduction
The same day I started writing this article about some ideas floating in my head, Joan Westenberg kind of beat me to the punch on its premise.
This piece will now be more expansive and a sort of manifesto.
I want to focus my thoughts regarding the battle against Techno Feudalism. And narrow my scope. And be systemic.
I will build whatever this ends up being in public. And put my masters degree in Political Science to work. So, this is just the start of a living document. I will update it with more of the philosophy of Techno Anarchism (and other points) in the coming weeks.
It’s also the first thing I’ve written that needs a table of contents.
Here’s what we’re exploring:
- Introduction
- Late Stage Capitalism / Techno Feudalism
- The War
- Enshittification
- The Winnable Battle
- Resources
The Mission
As supporters of democracy we need to engage in a positive fight against this timeline’s bullshit in a manner we can control ourselves.
Our goal should be to destroy autocracy rather than protect democracy. Simply because most of us live in autocracies unfortunately.
Still, we must reform both democracy and neuter it’s biggest threat, Big Tech.
I aim to make this writing more actionable than academic. We need action on the individual level and in small groups – neighborhoods, communities (geographical or digital), libraries, companies, unions, teams, non-profits, associations, clubs, schools, real churches, credit unions, local governments, the arts, independent media, etc. These groups have always been the building blocks of democracy. And they must be nurtured through use and membership.
I call the solution I propose to combat autocracy and Techno Feudalism, Techno Anarchism. While political anarchism as defined by Wikipedia is currently unlikely if not impossible. You will see that in the tech arena, it is possible.
“Major definitional elements of anarchism include the will for a non-coercive society, the rejection of the state apparatus, the belief that human nature allows humans to exist in or progress toward such a non-coercive society, and a suggestion on how to act to pursue the ideal of anarchy.”
It’s idealistic but not 100% practical. But we can build its practicality via our interactions with tech.
Now, Wikipedia defines a manifesto as:
“A manifesto is a written declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer, be it an individual, group, political party, or government. A manifesto can accept a previously published opinion or public consensus, but many prominent manifestos—such as The Communist Manifesto (1848) and those of various artistic movements—reject accepted knowledge in favor of a new idea.”
Is that what this will be? I think it mostly will.
The Problem
But, before going into the details of this manifesto, let’s explore our major problem as humans, what and who we are fighting, and the bigger war that the techno feudalism versus anarchism battle takes place in.
First, let’s look at the problem, ourselves. We have not evolved enough as humans to keep up with the culture, economies, and technology we’ve developed. That’s why we feel alienated and a little lost.
We need a purpose be it one dictated by religion (for the weak-minded) or philosophy. Or a very strong personal moral framework which is difficult. We might even get by with a manifesto. 😉 What we want to avoid is ideologies.
In general our overwhelmed brains need structure for things we don’t understand or can’t explain. We want simple, not the truth, which is why autocrats have an advantage. We’re mostly uneducated, unaware, unobservant, and intellectually lazy so we want easy answers.
Greg Epstein’s book, Tech Agnostic: How Technology Became the World’s Most Powerful Religion, and Why It Desperately Needs a Reformation has this:
“Today technology is the water in which we swim, whether on not we notice we are fish. Tech provides contemporary Western lives, so polarized and divided in countless ways, with a universal organizing principle… It offers myriad rites, capturing our attention and transforming our consciousness, connecting us with a community of people who spend their days…indeed their entire lives engaging in the same repetitive behaviors with the same fervent intensity.
Naturally, we all hope our devotion to this community of fellow travelers will bear fruit: surely tech will lead to a better future! Even a kind of paradise! But the truth is many of us fear, more than we’d like to admit, this may all be heading to a deeply dark place.
In other words: technology has become a religion.”
As you see, Big Tech now functions as a religion. It provides answers as more people reject the horseshit of traditional religion.
But, there’s no putting the genie back in the bottle so it needs to be reformed into a more satisfying religion. More the Tao of Pooh than the Old Testament and Revelations. More philosophy and morality for how to live life and less damnation, doctrine, and hate. One grown by us not tech oligarchs. More good, less evil. Ok.
More on this will follow in future updates.
Late Stage Capitalism / Techno Feudalism
Next let’s take a look at economics. Currently we are stuck in the economic model of capitalism. The problem is that it’s not really capitalism. It’s rigged, crony, oligarchic capitalism headed back toward feudalism. Some argue persuasively that it has already fully evolved into Techno Feudalism.
So, let’s define Techno Feudalism.
Is it a malign denomination of the Tech religion?
The child of Big Tech and Late Stage / Crony Capitalism?
Or just a bunch of cunts in Silicon Valley?
Yanis Varoufakis coined the term Techno Feudalism. So, here’s his hypothesis:
“… capitalism is dead, in the sense that its dynamics no longer govern our economies. … that role … has been replaced by something fundamentally different, which I call techno feudalism.
… the thing that killed capitalism is capital itself. Not capital as we have known it since the dawn of the industrial revolution, a new form of capital, a mutation of it that has arisen in the last two decades, so much more powerful that its predecessor that like a stupid, overzealous virus it has killed off its host.”
How’s that for an academic sentence. 😉
He continues:
“… capital’s mutation into what I call cloud capital has demolished capitalism’s two pillars: markets and profits.
Markets, the medium of capitalism, have been replaced by digital trading platforms, which look like, but are not markets, and are better understood as fiefdoms. And profit, the engine of capitalism, has been replaced with its feudal predecessor, rent.
… the owners of tradition capital … have become vassals in relation to a new class of feudal overlord, the owners of cloud capital.
… the rest of us have returned to our former status a serfs … contributing to the wealth and power of the new ruling class with our unpaid labor – in addition to the waged labor we perform, when we get the chance.”
Does this sound familiar? I think so.
And who wants to be a fucking serf? Not me.
More on this will follow in future updates.
The subject of equality is obviously relevant to feudal overlords and serfs.
In his book, A Brief History of Equality, Thomas Piketty writes:
“…since the end of the eighteenth century there has been a historical movement toward equality. The world of the early 2020s, no matter how unjust it may seem, is more egalitarian than that of 1950 or that of 1900, which were themselves more egalitarian than those of 1850 or 1780. ..over the long term, no matter the criterion we employ, we arrive at the same conclusion. Between 1780 and 2020 we see developments tending toward greater equality…
To continue… crises and power relations are necessary, as was the case in the past, but we will also need processes of learning and collective engagement, as well as mobilization around new political programs and proposals for new institutions.
Resistance by elites is a reality, in a world in which transnational billionaires are richer than states, much as in the French revolution. Such resistance can be overcome only by powerful collective mobilization during moments of crises and tension.
To ensure that everyone can contribute… in a decentralized way, we must develop new forms of sovereignism with a universalist vocation.”
I maintain that Techno Feudalism is contributing to the current slow to non-existent grow of equality. And I also maintain that Techno Anarchism can reverse the trend and grow equality via small-scale social mobilization and personal-data-sovereignty among other strategies to destroy Techno Feudalism.
Politics aka The War
Now, on to politics. Let’s begin with a few points. And a quick note, this isn’t about parties, but policies and exercising political rights.
Autocracy is a threat to democracy. Authoritarianism is a threat to human rights. Fascism is a threat to minorities. Autocrats, Fascists (secular or religious), and Communists are the bad guys.
However, unregulated capitalism and digital technology are a deadlier threat to democracy. Big Money and Big Tech equal the really bad guys. Oligarchs suck.
These two threats to human freedom go hand in hand. Unbound capitalism leads to fascist / authoritarian governments which lead to corrupt, crony capitalism or state capitalism aka hypocritical communism. Both of which erode and eventually destroy democracy, the environment, and human rights.
So, we need to reform and regulate large-scale capitalism and keep autocracy at bay. And again, reform democracy to function in the world we now live in.
Tech both in its Silicon Valley incarnation and the tools of repression Chinese / Israeli model are destroying democracy. One via corrupt, oligarchic capitalism / Techno Feudalism. And one via authoritarianism.
In we want democracy to survive we must fight these two tech models along with autocrats, autocratic political parties, autocratic nations, and autocratic ideologies.
More on this will follow in future updates.
The War’s Combatants
To reiterate, the larger war which I think of as WWIII is one between supporters of democracy and what I call the Evil Empire (Reagan is dead and I have commandeered the term!):
- Unregulated Capitalists / Techno Feudalists
- Big Tech in general
- Autocrats
The Evil Empire
Unregulated capitalist oligarchs, and Techno Feudalists
We’ve seen who they are.
More on this will follow in future updates.
Big Tech which is mostly Techno Feudalists, and some Techno Fascists
In her book, The Tech Coup: How to Save Democracy from Silicon Valley, Marietje Schaake writes:
“…the fact that our social, professional, and civil lives are increasingly digitized and, essentially, all aspects of digitation are in the hands of private companies; that certain technologies have inherent antidemocratic characteristics, while laws to protect democratic values and the rule of law are lagging; and that, most important, democratic governments’ outsourcing of key functions has led to a hollowing out of government’s core capabilities.
These systemic problems are now undermining the core principles of democracy: free and fair elections, the rule of law, the separation of powers, a well-informed, public debate, national security and the protection of civil liberties such as freedom of expression, the presumption of innocence, and the right to privacy.
As digitization progresses, we see a gradual shift in responsibility and power away from democratic leaders. This shift accelerates two trends: growing digital authoritarianism and a wholesale decline in democratic governance.”
We are the frogs being slowly boiled in the pot as the temperature rises. But, it’s not a fucking joke.
More on this will follow in future updates.
Autocrats
You are probably most familiar with these villains. They either rule your country or are a political party(ies) in it.
In her book, Autocracy Inc: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World Anne Applebaum writes:
“Unlike military or political alliances from other times and places, (today’s Autocrats) operates not like a bloc but rather like an agglomeration of companies, bound not by ideology but rather by a ruthless, single-minded determination to preserve their personal wealth and power, Autocracy, Inc.
Their bonds with one another, and with their friends in the democratic world, are cemented not through ideals but through deals – deals designed to take the edge off sanctions, to exchange surveillance technology, to help one another get rich.
Autocracy, Inc., offers its members not only money and security but also something less tangible, impunity.
Their enmity toward the democratic world is not merely some form of traditional geopolitical competition… (It) …has its roots in the very nature of the democratic political system, in words “accountability,” “transparency,” and “democracy.” They hear that language coming from the democratic world, they hear the same language coming from their on dissidents, and they seek to destroy them both.”
More on this will follow in future updates.
Democracy Supporters / Enlightened Humans
This is short. It’s us. At least the intelligent ones in the “Western World”, Oceana, Japan, and South Korea rules-based world. Plus a few other countries in the global south and various dissidents everywhere.
Enshittification
Before moving on to Techno Anarchism, here’s a quick note about Enshittification. It is part of techno feudalism. Chicken or the egg first? I don’t know.
But, Cory Doctorow describes enshittification like this:
“Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a “two-sided market”, where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, hold each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them.”
So, not only are Techno Feudalists part of the evil empire, their products suck as well.
Ok, enough about the cunts. Let’s move on the good guys.
The Winnable Battle
Will democracy win the war against autocracy? Who knows? It’s an eternal war that the bad guys currently have the upper hand in. And have had for the last decade or two. And have had for 99.99% of human history. Make what you will of that.
But, one of the war’s largest current battles can definitely be won. Equality can continue to grow. And our lives can be improved. And the world’s apocalypse can be delayed.
This battle is the one where Techno Anarchism opposes Techno Feudalism.
It is winnable because this victory can be achieved at the personal and small group level. It also has the advantage that the bad guys can’t defeat it (only resist it). Only apathy (which is also hard to overcome) can defeat Techno Anarchism. If you have a hundred million of drops of water you might drown an elephant. If you have a hundred you can’t even get one toe wet.
It’s also winnable because it’s more of a matter of changing habits (difficult) than political beliefs (extremely difficult). Anarchists and libertarians can be partial allies here along with many other freedom lovers.
And partial is important because this battle’s tactics are modular. It’s not all or nothing. You can take it one step at a time. It’s easy to be a soldier and not too hard to be an officer. You can increase your efforts over time as you get in the martial groove. Hopefully, you can even become a general.
Techno Anarchism
Finally, let’s move on to Techno Anarchism / Digital Distributism and Digital Sovereignty (which is slightly different). This is the philosophy, strategies, and actions needed to defeat Techno Feudalism.
As I mentioned before, Joan Westenberg published something similar to my gestating thoughts. So, let’s not reinvent the wheel and look as her points.
The article in question is The Revolution Will Be Decentralized. It’s not really a revolution, but more a radical adjustment of habits. But, if it happens it will be decentralized. Anyway, take a break and go read her article now! You may need to eat lunch too.
You’re back. Great.
She uses the terms Digital Democracy and Digital Feudalism versus Techno Anarchism and Techno Feudalism.
Westenberg’s central idea addresses both distribution and personal data sovereignty:
“The implementation of Digital Distributism rests on three foundational pillars: infrastructure commons, data sovereignty, and algorithmic democracy. Each pillar requires specific technical and organizational structures to function effectively.
The revolution toward digital democracy begins with individual choices. Every person who moves to decentralized platforms weakens the grip of tech monopolies. Every contribution to open source projects builds alternative infrastructure. Every act of resistance against surveillance and control helps shift the balance of power.
But individual action is not, is never enough. It must be coupled with collective organization. We need coordinated efforts to build and promote alternatives. We need political movements that understand the connection between digital and democratic power. We need communities dedicated to practicing digital distributism in their own operations.
The infrastructure of freedom won’t build itself. But neither did the infrastructure of control. Every system of power depends on the daily choices of millions of individuals. Will we shape the change toward digital democracy or submit to digital feudalism?”
That’s the question. And fortunately you can answer it.
How? With a blast from the past.
Joan and I both propose a similar idea, the Digital Distributist Alternative (Joan) and Techno Anarchism (me).
But FYI, these are not new ideas. They existed before as an alternative to capitalism and socialism. Unfortunately, they didn’t win out.
Distributism
Traditional Distributism is summarized by Wikipedia as:
”Distributism is an economic theory asserting that the world’s productive assets should be widely owned rather than concentrated. Developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, distributism was based upon Catholic social teaching principles, especially those of Pope Leo XIII in his encyclical Rerum novarum (1891) and Pope Pius XI in Quadragesimo anno (1931). It has influenced Anglo Christian Democratic movements, and has been recognized as one of many influences on the social market economy.
Distributism views laissez-faire capitalism and state socialism as equally flawed and exploitative, due to their extreme concentration of ownership. Instead, it favors small independent craftsmen and producers; or, if that is not possible, economic mechanisms such as cooperatives and member-owned mutual organisations, as well as small to medium enterprises and vigorous anti-trust laws to restrain or eliminate overweening economic power.”
Joan says:
“Digital Distributism updates this framework for the internet age, recognizing that digital infrastructure is now as fundamental to human flourishing as land was in the agricultural era. It offers a comprehensive alternative to digital feudalism by reimagining how we structure and govern the technologies that increasingly mediate human existence.”
Techno Distributism / Anarchism is the modern equivalent fighting Techno Feudalism as opposed to unregulated capitalism and state socialism. And it has a better chance of coming out on top. It’s more about the means of computation and consumption versus the means of production.
We’re digital serfs here, not the proletariat.
More on this will follow in future updates.
So, we now have our nebulously defined movement, Techno Anarchism. How do we win the war against its all to real foe?
By slowly killing Techno Feudalism with weapons of course.
The Arsenal of Techno Anarchism
Okay, so what are the weapons we can use to destroy Techno Feudalism?
Open Source Technology
We start by using open-source technology. Again, it has the advantage that it can’t be bought and enshittified at scale.
Let’s examine the arsenal in detail. Please explore and start using these tools while dropping their enshittified, corporate, feudalistic alternatives. Obviously, all of these are not for everyone. But, do what you can.
They will also boost the privacy and security of your personal data aka your digital sovereignty.
More details on these individual tools will follow in future updates. For now please use the links.

Fediverse
In the home stretch, let’s look at the most powerful weapon against techno feudalism, The Fediverse.
Corporate social media is even worse than mass media. Millions of morons can get on it and pontificate as much as they want. It is used by extremists and conspiracy theorists to devastating effect. And it’s run by the motherfuckers behind techno feudalism. Today’s true rulers control the algorithms that show all this horseshit, encourage it, and addict us to following it.
In her book, Rulers: The People Who Turn Lies into Reality, Renee DiResta writes:
“My focus is on a profound transformation in the dynamics of power and influence, which have fundamentally shifted, and on how we, the citizens, can come to grips with a force that is altering our politics, our society, and our very relationship to reality. For sure, companies and governments must bear their burden of figuring out how to regulate this new space, and how to restore trust and shore up institutions, but we as citizens, have a responsibility to understand these dynamics so we can build healthy norms and fight back. This is the task of a new civics.”
Well said, though I have no faith in the companies doing shit and little faith in governments doing their part competently. So it falls to us as Techno Anarchists to unfuck this. We can do this by leaving corporate social media and moving to the Fediverse.
In his book, Governable Spaces: Democratic Design for Online Life, Nathan Schneider writes:
“The ways people can and cannot collectively self-govern in daily online life, furthermore, have been constrained in dominant social networks… the constraints on governance in online spaces have contributed to the peril of democratic politics in general. It is not enough to merely defend existing governmental institutions, healthy democracy depends on enabling creative new forms of self-governance, especially on networks.
If democracy is on the horizon (for humanity), self-governance is a plausible practice for moving in that direction. Governable Spaces, then, are where democratic self-governance can happen.
…the design of online social spaces has contributed to the atrophy of everyday democratic skills. (Fortunately) …the future of democracy can begin at the level of ordinary community, wherever we find ourselves together, where each of us has a chance to make a difference.”
You and I can have a profound impact on the governance of the Fediverse in addition to the good it does in the world. Pick a platform and get involved.
We covered the enshittification of corporate social media above.
For its The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation page, Cory Doctorow’s publisher wrote:
“When the tech platforms promised a future of “connection,” they were lying. They said their “walled gardens” would keep us safe, but those were prison walls.
The platforms locked us into their systems and made us easy pickings, ripe for extaction. Twitter, Facebook and other Big Tech platforms are hard to leave by design. They hold hostage the people we love, the communities that matter to us, the audiences and customers we rely on. The impossibility of staying connected to these people after you delete your account has nothing to do with technological limitations: it’s a business strategy in service to commodifying your personal life and relationships.
We can – we must – dismantle the tech platforms. (We must) …seize the means of computation, by forcing Silicon Valley to do the thing it fears most: interoperate. Interoperability will tear down the walls between technologies, allowing users leave platforms, remix their media, and reconfigure their devices without corporate permission.
Interoperability is the only route to the rapid and enduring annihilation of the platforms. The Internet Con is the disassembly manual we need to take back our internet.”
To counteract enshittification (and speed up the death of these feudal social platforms) we must seize the means of communication / computation via self-publishing with open-source tech. This is provided by personal websites built with open-source technology and distributed with RSS as seen earlier and via the Fediverse. Decentralization and interoperability are key. We must work for these results politically as well.
The Fediverse is the most formidable weapon of Techno Anarchy because it is unbuyable. It is unseizable if hosted in Europe. And it lets us focus on localism (again small groups) vs globalism. It’s distributed not siloed. And open-source not corporate. No ads, less harassment, and less bullshit greet you there. It’s also quite anarchic in general.

It’s a critical tactic to use these weapons. It’s also important to support them financially and to be active in their communities.
Tactics
Here are some more easy and local tactics.
Support the Independent Non-profit Press
The mass media is an unreliable ally in the war against autocracy much less the battle against Techno Feudalism.
Traditional journalism is flailing and failing. And it’s slowly going out of business. Plus, they are too spineless to save themselves. It’s because they are corporate and thus cowards. And they are mostly owned by cunts.
Instead, we need to support and patronize independent non-profit journalistic organizations. That means giving them money directly my fellow anarchists.
Like this publication the following examples are tech-oriented or political-oriented. But there are many for every issue you care about.
- Propublica
- 404 Media
- The Markup
- CalMatters
- The 19th News
- good internet magazine– coming soon
- Investigative Journalism Foundation
- Tech Policy
- Newsletters, unless they are on SubStack
- Public Media
Think Global, Buy Local
In general, please explore the principles of degrowth.
But in particular, before spending your capital, think about that decision’s impact on our planet and your fellow humans. That’s basic morality. And please buy physical products from a local brick and mortar store. And only if you need them.
More relevant to Techno Anarchism, buy digital products from small tech suppliers or open-source suppliers or non and not-for-profits. Donate as much money as you can to open-source technology and other non-profit service providers.
This is easy, it just takes a little conscious thought and avoiding lazy thinking. Or a lack of thinking.
Battleplan
I am sure you’re ready to kick some ass. So, what can you do? I think you mostly know by now. It’s not complex. We’re not invading Normandy here.
Digital Sovereignty
You must own your communications, own your data, own your digital identity, own your digital devices, and own your own online real estate. Use the open-source technology featured here. Use open-source hardware. Each time you do you place a nail in Techno Feudalism’s coffin. The more you use, the faster that death occurs.
Choose Your Weapons and Kill Techno Feudalism
Use the weapons in Techno Anarchism’s arsenal. Again, the battle against Techno Feudalism is modular. It’s not all or nothing. You can take it one step at a time or one weapon at a time. Put more nails in. And add as many as you can over time. Let’s shut that fucker tight.
As Joan says:
“Each new protocol, each independent instance, each decentralized application creates another crack in the walls of digital feudalism.”
You’re the General
Again, proceed at your pace. Rome wasn’t built or destroyed in a day and these corporate shits are difficult to leave. Intentionally.
We’re in WWIII here and its going to take a while to kill these fucks and cripple their allies. But, they are going to die. Inglorious bastards style but via Techno Anarchism not bullets or baseball bats. That’s the final resort I hope we never see.
Thanks for reading my semi-manifesto. Please share it, bookmark it, and come back to it later as a reference and to see its updates.
Keep Fighting, Anarchists! We can win this. The power is yours.

@dansup i really dont want to spoil the fun here. I appreciate the effort.
But although #signal is much more popular than #matrix their relationship is like #mastodon to #bluesky. Both bluesky and signal have a #proprietary backend. although their frontent is #OpenSource they technically have a single point of failure. server/cluster down == service down
Mastodon and matrix are actual fediverse services which are undestroyable since they are many federated, independent servers.

@debian Really? You had no problems with having debconf hosted in the Zionist state. You even refer to that illegal entity by the name "Israel". Does the Debian project have the same values as the Zionist state?
I understand a free software project not wanting to be on a proprietary platform, but this is ridiculous.

Today, we endorse the @osi‘s #OSAID. In an environment of increased open-washing, and at times where finding consensus becomes harder, the OSI has shown leadership that engages voices from academia, industry, and society. And while there are questions, the OSAID is a platform unifying discussion and providing space for discourse. I am happy that I can announce our endorsement today. Thank you to all involved. #ai #opensource

For decades, OS has provided answers to questions of vendor #independence, #transparency, #reproducibility, the ability to #study and #learn from tech. The #OSAID project has taken on responsibility & #leadership, fostered open exchange that distinguishes OS community from closed, proprietary approaches

What's crazy about Sky-T1 is that unlike OpenAI o1 and DeepSeek it can run on consumer workstations with 32GB of RAM.
Sky-T1 is open source down to the training data, more open source than most AI projects.
And my hommie @rekcahdam tells me it's smarter than both the corporate AIs including Claude.
So yea, the hommies been known AI companies are over valued af 😅

A few tips to help keep you safe online:
1) Use #Tor or a #Vpn for most if not all of your web browsing. I'd recommend Tor since it's free and not centralized, which means a single point of failure in case of #hacks or #government #datarequests.
2) Use #Signal, the gold standard of private, encrypted communications.
3) Install #Grapheneos on a Pixel device for a private and secure mobile phone. Do not use Google services or install the Play Store. Install only #opensource, ad free apps. 1/4

Streamer.bot is a great tool for streamers on the big platforms like Twitch and YouTube (I use it myself!), but it lacks official support for open source platforms like #Owncast and it would be great to see this added.
That's why I've submitted a suggestion for it on their ideas page, and it would great if you could vote as well! It's only got a single lonely vote which I'm pretty sure is mine for suggesting it. 😅

The sad irony here is that Facebook runs much of its infrastructure on Linux and often posts job ads looking for Linux developers.

Streamer.bot is a great tool for streamers on the big platforms like Twitch and YouTube (I use it myself!), but it lacks official support for open source platforms like #Owncast and it would be great to see this added.
That's why I've submitted a suggestion for it on their ideas page, and it would great if you could vote as well! It's only got a single lonely vote which I'm pretty sure is mine for suggesting it. 😅

LoL: US Big Tech companies are nothing more than a bunch of chicken-hearted cowards ->
"A little-known AI lab out of China has ignited panic throughout Silicon Valley after releasing AI models that can outperform America’s best despite being built more cheaply and with less-powerful chips.
DeepSeek, as the lab is called, unveiled a free, open-source large-language model in late December that it says took only two months and less than $6 million to build, using reduced-capability chips from Nvidia called H800s.
The new developments have raised alarms on whether America’s global lead in artificial intelligence is shrinking and called into question big tech’s massive spend on building AI models and data centers.
In a set of third-party benchmark tests, DeepSeek’s model outperformed Meta’s Llama 3.1, OpenAI’s GPT-4o and Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 3.5 in accuracy ranging from complex problem-solving to math and coding.
DeepSeek on Monday released r1, a reasoning model that also outperformed OpenAI’s latest o1 in many of those third-party tests."

From what I've seen it sounds like the consensus is Forgejo > Gitea > Gogs, but I would like to know if I'm misreading the situation; or, if there are any other promising up-and-comers.

Just a few days ago, I lunched my new relay service for the #Fediverse and I'm really happy to see that there're already many ones connected to - more than 50 instances in just a few days!
But what makes me even really happy is to see, that my service [2] also gets linked in the release notes of #snac [1] / #snac2 - and I can recommend the usage of relay services (it doesn't matter which one!) to everyone. It provides more content from connected instances to you, but also brings your posts - from your local instance - up to other ones within the federated network where it can get much easier distributed around other instances.
#snac is the perfect way to host an own fediverse instance. Using the #ActivityPub protocol allows you to connect to all other instances. With the integrated #Mastodon API, you can also use most of your usual clients or web clients. Snac is light, fast, does not require any database and follows the KISS way - which the most of us BSD people are living. With relay services, it's the perfect match for singe-user instances and @grunfink is always open for ideas and to help! It does not always need to be #Mastodon, #GoToSocial etc!
And if you're using any other software, you may still benefit by using relay services. And if you're still looking for a guide, howto setup snac2 on #FreeBSD, my howto [3] might help you out.

@toxi@mastodon.thi.ng
Dreaming again about software as a graph. Instead of using the semantic units of programming languages, our entire dev infra rests on hierarchies which should have zero relation with the internal structures/architectures of our code and, like so much else, are the byproduct of older legacy decisions. Despite this, 99% of modern PLs are still designed around these seemingly permanent legacy structures.
Early “web search” indices before Google (i.e. Altavista, DMOZ, Yahoo) were all about putting links into hierarchies. Our entire modern software development architecture is (still) using the same model: From hierarchical file systems, languages using files as basic organizational unit (vs functions/classes/types), name spaces, packages (aka virtualized folders) as containers, both to group functionality and to distribute it. Git repos are yet another level of hierarchy on top (although excluding monorepos, they’re usually the same level as packages). It’s folders, not turtles, all the way down (and up)!
Caring about usability & maintenance, for years I’ve been struggling with this overall setup and having an increasingly hard time (and spending too much of it) to figure out _where_ to put (new & old) functionality: Should it be combined with or become part of existing packages, go in a new file/package, should it be (always) internal or public, should it exist at all (as standalone unit)... This struggle, first stemming from 15 years of Java coding, largely motivated my adoption of Literate Programming (LP) during most of the 2010s (via #Clojure & #OrgMode), though it only partially helped with some aspects, and other people around me discouraged it...
Hierarchies lead to hard-to-undo systemic calcification of structures. Structures/institutions which only make/made sense for a time, maybe were a good pragmatic/useful solution at the time, but then should be allowed to cease to exist, or the very least should be more soft and open for change. To me software is NOT about upholding hierarchies, but about malleability, above all other concerns like reliability, reproducibility, security, etc. There’re hundreds of existing things I’d like to migrate/re-organize, but I can’t because it’d break hundreds of downstream projects — and I do care about others who’re using these libraries! For context, being the by far largest thi.ng meta-project, the https://thi.ng/umbrella monorepo contains 200 packages/libraries with a total of 4100+ standalone functions and ~2200 types/interfaces/classes. It’s getting ever harder to fight the existing hierarchies and I know I could drastically reduce these numbers if it wasn’t for these enforced structures.
Apart from calcification, hierarchies also lead to other issues like duplication, (lack of) discoverability, competition (of responsibilities), paradox of choice, and increased maintenance efforts... All things I’d like to avoid in my work!
What I want instead (and have already started prototyping several times) is a distributed graph based version of:
- Content addressable standalone semantic units of code (language agnostic). Any change immediately leads to new version. Requires an alias system to make references & versions human readable.
- RDF-style graph database of all code. Each node has typed links to dependencies (e.g. other functions), documentation (incl. example usage, references, research papers), bidirectional links to previous and next versions, other metadata (author, license etc.)
- No files, no packages, only tags (for discovery)
As an interim adaptation step to keep on using existing languages/infra, a form of LP style “tangle” tool is required. This tool would linearize/dedupe the referenced subgraph(s) into traditional source files as a pre-build step and implicitly perform dead code elimination, which should also lead to much lower compile efforts/times...
Using a graph approach, we can have much more advanced & useful dev tools, more easily produce visualizations to aid codebase & dependency analysis/maintenance, refactoring, etc.

We have an announcement to make!
Pixelix, the third party client for Pixelfed is open source now!✨
Pixelix is a feature-rich Pixelfed client for Android. DMs, Collections, custom app icons and home screen widgets to name a few. The app is developed natively using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, which ensures excellent performance.🚀
Pixelix will still be available for 2€ on Google Play Store, but now you also have the ability to compile the project yourself if you want to.
We believe that it is justified that good software costs something and there has to be a way to earn some money from software that is open source.
So if you want to support us please give Pixelix a try and also review it on Google Play Store.⭐

You can!
Our code repository (thanks @forgejo is publicly accessible, so feel free to have a look into our kitchen.
Keep in mind though, that this project is very much under construction.
There is nothing to install or run yet, but you can already have a look at what our chefs are preparing…..just don’t tell Gordon Ramsay yet 😉

@toxi@mastodon.thi.ng
PSA: I just updated https://thi.ng/monopub (a tool for synchronized publishing of packages in a monorepo) to add a new option to truncate generated changelogs with a configurable cut-off date (i.e. to exclude older versions). I've set the default cut off to 1st of January 3 years ago. As a result this saves around 1MB of just changelog files per full #ThingUmbrella release (for 200 packages). Older version history can of course still be obtained via Git...

Surrounding the elephant is a crescent moon & decorative swirling vines add an ethereal quality.

Hey, so, we all know weather is going to get more dangerous over the next few years. Also, the USA weather services are probably not going to be operating at their best (to be optimistic). I know there are other sources, but the whole of the world society feels like it is on the edge of darkness. So...
Proposal/question: using the plethora of easily accessible data, compute, and brilliant people; how could we form a federated and decentralized weather service?
I imagine it would require some standardized protocols and modeling teams. Similar things do exist for other areas of research. However, I am an ecological modeler and know very little relevant information beyond using climate models. I am not completely sure what is needed for weather. Thoughts or ideas? Or is anyone even interested in this?

Our computers can run @debian, our phones can run @GrapheneOS and @fdroidorg, our TVs can run @Kodi, we can turn to @wikipedia for vast troves of human knowledge, we can explore the world using @openstreetmap, and we can communicate privately using @matrix or publicly using @Mastodon.
Of course, not everyone is using these great tools. But that's nothing but Kantian self-imposed immaturity.

📣 Attention all custom ROM users and advocates for digital rights! 📣
Google's Play Integrity is limiting access to certain functionalities and applications for those using custom operating systems. This is a direct attack on the open-source community and a step towards further consolidating Google's monopoly in the mobile ecosystem.
The European Commission is aware of the situation, but has deemed it a low priority: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/PETI-CM-757267_EN.pdf
It's time for us to take action and show Google and the EU how much we care about this issue! 💥
Sign the petition now to stop Google from limiting access to custom ROMs: https://www.change.org/p/stop-google-from-limiting-custom-roms
#StopGoogleMonopoly #CustomROMs #DigitalRights #OpenSource #PlayIntegrity #Google #deGoogle #privacy #right2repair #rightorepair #r2r #EU

Stop Google from Limiting Custom ROMs! The Issue: Google systematically blocks access to apps and functionalities for users running custom Android operating systems, affecting millions of tech-savvy users who modify their devices. Why Users Choose Custom ROMs: • Overcome programmed obsolescence when manufacturers stop updating • Fix bugs in stock operating systems • Personalize and customize their device's software • Improve performance and privacy Google's False Justification: Google claims Play Integrity ensures "app security" by verifying unmodified app binaries on "genuine" Android devices. In reality, this is a tactic to: • Maintain its mobile operating system monopoly • Restrict user choice • Convince developers to stay dependent on Play Store Our Demand: We call on European Union to consider investigating the monopolistic tactics, and ask Google to allow custom ROM users to: • Access all applications • Use device capabilities fully • Exercise their right to modify owned technology This is about digital freedom, user rights, and challenging corporate control over personal technology. Sign now to support technological freedom!Stefano Marinelli

Earlier, a friend of a client came by who wanted to chat. He introduced himself as someone deeply involved in open-source and self-hosting, and we hit it off right away. He’s been using Linux on his PC for years and is comfortable with Debian. He agrees that self-hosting is the only way to keep the web decentralized. He then shared how he transitioned his website from dynamic to static using an SSG, and he’s thrilled with the result.
He walked me through his workflow: he edits the site, uploads it to some cloud (not sure which one), and clears the Cloudflare cache - he uses it to "save on outgoing traffic costs" from his provider. Alternatively, he mentioned he could host it on GitHub.
I explained to him that, in my opinion, this isn’t real decentralization or self-hosting, and I outlined the reasons why. He’d never thought about it this way and hadn’t explored the option of getting a “normal” VPS. He’s now decided to go for a cheap VPS, install nginx (which he knows how to use), and cut out the middlemen. He’s a smart and eager person, so I’m really glad we had this conversation.
Unfortunately, too many people today are convinced that hosting is only possible with the big players.

Hey fediverse, I'm a pretty long-time Ableton user...I want to move to an open-source DAW if possible. Is there anything that people recommend?
Soft requirements:
- VST/3 support (I love some of the VST synths I have)
- Mainly PC (can be Linux or Windows)
- But I also use a M3 Macbook (OSX)
- MIDI controller / keyboard support (I don't mind mapping manually)
I can't justify the cost of Ableton, I make music for fun not profit, and I know software development, so I can contribute back.

I want to share and build in public. I've been having steady coding fun in YEARS! One thing I'm shy to share is that it currently uses the filesystem for storing media. It allows for rapid prototyping and local dev, but I know I’ll need S3 or Azure when I release. #Coding #OpenSource #AskFedi

New release of https://thi.ng/genart-api (v0.24.0) — a platform-independent extensible API for browser-based computational/algorithmic/generative art projects:
This release contains quite a few new features, as well as several important fixes for bugs which were accidentally introduced in the two most recent versions...
- extracted the debug time provider & FPS overlay to separate package
- updated `bigint` param handling (esp. randomization)
- added `collector` and `iteration` metadata accessors
- updated platform adapters (esp. the #fxhash one)
- fixed image & ramp param handling
- added a bunch of utilities to core API to deduplicate code in various adapters
- updated/fixed examples & docs
- added more tests (and updated core API to be more testable outside the browser)
All changes since v0.21.0:

re-introduction, long
#introduction v3-ish!
You'd think these things would get easier to write over time but they really don't, huh? Or it might be because I'm apparently quite #neurospicy following the traditional path of being just smart and shy enough to not get caught until way into adulthood. In discussions with my partner I've tried to explain the spicy as flavors of ice cream where collectively society has just decided that vanilla is the "default", whereas I'm more of a stracciatella. I'm terrible at making friends and a total hermit. I suck at subtext or ulterior intentions, so anything seeming like that is usually not intended.
I'm well spoken when I have the energy for it and after being gay and doing crimes, I have successfully defended myself in court. Normally though I combine that with deep empathy to be a somewhat successful program manager in #cybersecurity, specializing in #IAM, i.e. I've made a whole career out of that one line in the textbooks that says "give the right access to the right people and nothing else". I'm probably one of the few doing that without ever having touched AD or Entra, or at least that's how it feels trying to interface with the wider industry. Currently though I'm thoroughly burned out from work, surely a very uncommon situation in the cybersecurity field where unsexy hard to understand problems are always well staffed.
In my spare time I dabble in #electronics, #homeAutomation and run a tiny one rack data center, because I did that kind of work for a decade for a cloud provider and really missed it once I jumped to a desk job. (The upside is I get to wear nice clothes to work instead of worrying about heat & cut resistance!) Sometimes that #homelab feels like a second job, but that and #OpenSource contributions and the only reason why I have any transferable industry skills, so it's mostly worth it. I also used to teach an intensive fiber optics 101 class (enough to get an FOI title) so I know many weird things about the fiber optics world! Still kinda lowkey want to buy my own fusion splicer.
I'm #transfem and quite #sapphic but really it's the least interesting thing about me I think? With the very limited spoon budget I have I can't really effectively do any kind of advocacy or activism, but hope to do more one day. I did however create https://transitiokanta.fi to document transition related bureaucracy in Finland since it's the promised land of very specific complex processes that I had to learn how to navigate. It's a wiki open to contributions, but for obvious reasons doesn't have open signups, so you need to ask me if you want to contribute.
I don't boost media posts without alt text because accessibility matters. If I manage to post one myself without alt text, feel free to call me out so I can fix my mistake. Other than that, it's anyone's guess what I'll post & boost, probably a bit of tech, security, queer things and just boring life stuff to process my own feelings.
Perhaps that's enough rambling for now?

Les traigo una recomendación interesante si buscan plataformas de blogging:
• Bear, esta alternativa se define como: "Una plataforma de blogs que prioriza la privacidad, es sensata y muy rápida
Sin rastreadores, sin JavaScript, sin hojas de estilo. Solo tus palabras.".
Yo estaba en una instancia de WriteFreely, porque la verdad siempre me ha gustado el software y la idea de una plataforma de blogs dentro del fediverse. Y me sigue encantando pero, me han comprado xD
A mi me gusta la personalización, y en Bear es todo lo que me dan, no solo puedo personalizar la apariencia del blog, puedo personalizar la meta descripción, la meta imagen, el ícono de favorito y personalizar esa información en cada post individualmente. Maravilla, además es una plataforma minimalista y súper ligera
Sí, Bear a comparación de WriteFreely es una plataforma más centralizada y tiene una suscripción o pago único para algunas funciones extra (entendible.) aún así, es open source también y el administrador revisa manualmente cada blog para mantener el estándar de calidad y el buen ambiente. Precisamente hoy me envió un correo para notificarme que había aprobado mi blog.
Apostaré por Bear, me ha encantado tanto que me siento como niño en juguetería.

FluConf
@fluconf@social.cryptography.dog
One of the themes for #FluConf2025 is "open licensing and business models".
A lot of people on the fediverse will probably take that to mean *software licensing*, but we're interested in a much broader range of topics.
We want to hear about open licenses for scientific publications, data, art, games, text, and whatever else we haven't thought of.
Share why you think it's important. Write about how overly permissive commons are being enclosed by corporations. Tell the world how you choose licenses for your own creations, and how others licensing choices influence your perception of their projects.

@raccoonforfriendicaapp new version 0.4.0-beta04 available for testing!
Changelog:
- fix for a bug after adding/removing a post to favorites which led to lose custom emojis;
- fix spacing between post and reply placeholders when using the new Card layout;
- fix a minor accessibility issue with the new audio player;
- fix crash when rendering some HTML posts;
- fix "floating" (overlapping) images for embedded contents;
- localization updates (included support for upcoming Romanian translation);
- library updates.
I think we are almost ready for the 0.4 version. In the meantime I've submitted both Raccoon apps to Google Play so I may be needed some volunteers to participate in the closed testing program before the apps can be made available to the general public.

Just realised that #Pixelfed's default terms don't let me "attempt to decompile or reverse engineer any software contained on Pixelfed's website". Is this necessary if Pixelfed is already #OpenSource?

As we approach the end of 2024, I thought it'd be helpful to compile a list of the self-hosted apps launched in 2024 that I found to be particularly noteworthy.
And while I think this is a great list, I do have my own biases. So if you're looking for new software to deploy, please don't limit yourself to my list.

https://thi.ng/umbrella 2024 summary
Next month #ThingUmbrella will be already 7 years old (in its current monorepo form) and thi.ng itself turn 14 — a true teenager! 😱
2024 has been a year of a lot of maintenance and the first year in a while, in which I got to put so many of these tools & libraries to work on the development of several other new (and ongoing) projects (incl. some still unannounced ones). Considering the vastly different usage contexts, each time this is also a demonstration (to myself) of just how powerful, adaptable and _composable_ many of these libraries are, and I wish I'd be able to better communicate these aspects to other people...
My deepest thanks and gratitude to my amazing supporters/sponsors, who've been enabling me to continue this work, to expand on it and actively maintain it! Some of you already for years! Love you, people — Your support means the world to these projects (and to me)! And even though I'm still a far way from being able to work fulltime on all these projects, and also had to take on some consulting work this year, I too have been trying my best to work on thi.ng projects every day this year (and almost succeeded)...
Super special thanks go out to: @avi @made @Yura @robertoranon @jeffpalmer @alesroubicek @slowdownitsfine @latrokles @rc101 and others... (Sorry if I missed any other people/supporters/users here — please ping me (again) if I don't follow you already!) 🙏😍
Some juicy/boring statistics (#ThingUmbrella only!):
In 2024 there were 1,639 commits (incl. today's release), of which:
- 467 features (29%)
- 389 documentation related (24%)

https://thi.ng/umbrella 2024 summary
Next month #ThingUmbrella will be already 7 years old (in its current monorepo form) and thi.ng itself turn 14 — a true teenager! 😱
2024 has been a year of a lot of maintenance and the first year in a while, in which I got to put so many of these tools & libraries to work on the development of several other new (and ongoing) projects (incl. some still unannounced ones). Considering the vastly different usage contexts, each time this is also a demonstration (to myself) of just how powerful, adaptable and _composable_ many of these libraries are, and I wish I'd be able to better communicate these aspects to other people...
My deepest thanks and gratitude to my amazing supporters/sponsors, who've been enabling me to continue this work, to expand on it and actively maintain it! Some of you already for years! Love you, people — Your support means the world to these projects (and to me)! And even though I'm still a far way from being able to work fulltime on all these projects, and also had to take on some consulting work this year, I too have been trying my best to work on thi.ng projects every day this year (and almost succeeded)...
Super special thanks go out to: @avi @made @Yura @robertoranon @jeffpalmer @alesroubicek @slowdownitsfine @latrokles @rc101 and others... (Sorry if I missed any other people/supporters/users here — please ping me (again) if I don't follow you already!) 🙏😍
Some juicy/boring statistics (#ThingUmbrella only!):
In 2024 there were 1,639 commits (incl. today's release), of which:

My husband, @jbqueru requires saved sessions for his multiple dev apps under Linux. We found that NONE of the DEs are saving sessions *properly*. #Gnome & #Cinnamon don't at all, #Mate has bugs, #XFce only saves its own apps, and #KDE only saves 1 workspace, with no positioning, and only when saving the session manually. #Wayland or #X11, same abysmal behavior.
You might hate on #MacOS, but that's one thing it does well.

Another new release of #GenArtAPI (v0.20.0), due to some urgent additions & updates of partially outdated documentation and refactoring/cleaning up of some parameter types. This project already contains more docs than code and because things are moving so fast, I forgot to update some parts... (Sorry for any confusion caused...)
Other notable updates:
- Simplified the core API's param value getter for obtaining time-based or randomized values (please check docs[1])
- Updated vector param definition
- Added a `.configure()` method for the EditArt platform adapter to allow manual selection of adapted params (to override the default auto-selection)[2]
You can see all the changes since the last release here:

🌐🔒 Exciting news for privacy! The US government has officially recommended using Signal and other encrypted messaging apps after recent telecom hacks. This is a huge step forward in recognizing the importance of secure communication!
As someone who has always championed free and open-source software, I’m thrilled to see this acknowledgment from the government, especially given the increasing threats to our privacy. With the rise of surveillance and the potential for breaches in our communication networks, it’s more important than ever to prioritize encrypted messaging.
If even the CIA is warning us about the dangers of unencrypted communications, we should take it seriously! Let’s embrace tools that protect our privacy and autonomy. Remember, our digital safety is in our hands!
Have you made the switch to Signal or another secure messaging app, or know someone making it now?

"One fun anecdote is that companies or governments will often say they need months or years to prepare (CLEAN UP) code for open sourcing. Because on the inside, people allow themselves far worse code than they’d prefer to share with the outside world. Open source code often has higher standards, and it is a great mechanism of keeping you on track."

#ReleaseSunday and already second #GenArtAPI update this week, plus the addition of a new platform adapter package for publishing artwork to https://editart.xyz (ready ahead of #Genuary2025 😉)... (cc/ @pifragile)
This new release (all packages at v0.19.0 now) also includes several updates to API docs and adapter readme's:
- https://github.com/thi-ng/genart-api
- https://github.com/thi-ng/genart-api/tree/main/packages/adapter-editart
- https://github.com/thi-ng/genart-api/tree/main/packages/adapter
All implementations are WIP (but fully functional, to the best of my knowledge!). If there's demand, I'm considering adding more parameter type adaptations also for the EditArt adapater (e.g. to support vector/XY params, as already done for the Layer adapter...)
Since I've been told "people/artists don't read anymore", tonight I'm starting to record a video walkthrough, wish me luck! :)

Do you know a search engine which values personal blogs, small websites, small wikis and such these far more than big websites? Recently I'm seeing this pattern that I can find better articles in such these websites, than searching online in DuckDuckGo and previously Google, to look for something.
The problem's that without a search engine, finding these valuable content is far from easy. Currently I find them manually.
Boosts very much appreciated.

Back then there: 1. wasn't really that much easy-to-find literature or readily available sample code, though two of the most cited & helpful refs was this amazing Hugo Elias article and the noise treatment by the god father of computer graphics. 2. Computers were much slower (and Java too), so for something like noise() to be generally useful (esp. the 2D and 3D versions), we wanted (needed!) to choose a performant implementation and so ended up with the Farbrausch version, which provided the best compromise (also was much faster than other impls I tried & ported back then)... 3. I think it's fair to say that neither Ben, Casey nor I back then considered any of the finer nuances/differences between noise types too much (or at all 😉 )... I proposed a noise() function because I thought it'd be super useful for a lot of different applications and I'd already used it for some terrain & texture generation tasks in a few games I'd developed in Shockwave3D/Director and got some very interesting results from it... 4. I'd have never thought it would stay around (largely unchanged) for that long... Sorry for any inconvenience caused, heh! :)"Karsten Schmidt
@toxi@mastodon.thi.ng
Just been having a long interesting conversation about how https://thi.ng/genart-api can also become very interesting from a digital preservation perspective:
Right now a lot of contemporary browser-based computational/generative art pieces are somewhat bound to the lifespan of the art platforms/websites they've been published at/for (irrespective if the pieces themselves are hosted on IPFS or similar supposed longer-term storage). Most of these works are coded ad-hoc against the APIs provided by these respective individual platforms, each only optimizing for their own uses/biases. However, developing/refactoring such works to use an open source platform-independent API (i.e. #GenArtAPI) with any platform specifics handled via very easy-to-replace (and to develop) plugins/adapters, then at least potentially extends the lifespan & adaptability of these works by making it much easier to migrate them to new platforms/environments/emulators. In most cases, this migration can be done purely via configuration (replacing a couple of library `<script>` tags in the HTML wrapper), rather than having to make any code changes in the artwork itself.
(All this is acknowledging, but also ignoring here the much larger looming preservation issue related to the general dependency on web browsers and bitrotting web tech... Still every little helps! 😉)

2024 was a nice year for #opensource contributions in my side 
Improvement of l10n / i18n for @IceCubesApp @impressia and also for Tella, Monal, #OsmAnd and Strongbox #iOS apps.
Some #a11y guidelines on a11y-guidelines.orange.com have been updated.
I was mainly focused that year on the two design systems of #Orange, with the last one taking a lot of my time (https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/ouds-ios).

New major version, v1.5, for the #Tahoma2D animation app. It works well under Linux, minus the fact that it doesn't launch from the app menu (you gotta use the terminal or a file manager to navigate to its appimage). Overall, impressive app.
Another similar app, Synfig Studio, also has major new features on their dev branch.

New release of https://thi.ng/genart-api, a modular cross-platform API/SDK for browser-based computational/algorithmic/generative art projects, helping to reduce artists' efforts to adapt work for different art platforms/environments/uses/workflows.
Main new v0.18.0 additions:
- The param editor reference implementation now groups parameters by their declared group and sorts them by given order (both optional)
- The `@genart-api/adapter-layer` package supports adaptations/translations for more param types, incl. vectors, which are not yet natively supported by that platform. E.g. vectors will be transparently represented as multiple, separate numeric params on the platform side, but your artwork is blissfully unaware of this and still only would deal with vectors. The platform adapter does all the reconcilation and handling of param changes...
- Started adding tests
- Updated API docs & readme's
As always, feedback highly appreciated — this project is in active development...
I'm aware, the target audience for this larger project is quite limited, but the benefits are real (and palpable!), not just for artists in this field (but especially for them!)... I'll do my best to illustrate the (recurring) problems being solved here, demystify some of the concepts and squeeze in recording a short(ish) video showing how to develop a small project from scratch using this system/setup and then repurpose it and show related tools still in development...

La IA puede ser útil para ciertas cositas. He aprendido algo nuevo, para eso sirvió.
En este caso, yo quería una implementación para mostrar mis toots en una simple pagina de GitHub. Llevo una hora en esto T-T capaz para alguien que domine el tema es pan comido, pero para mí fue prueba y error, y asistencia de IA.
Quería hacerlo con RSS, solo habían errores...
Al final la opción más obvia salió a la luz: la API de Mastodon para acceder a la información publica de mi cuenta. Ha funcionado ^^
Es algo básico y tosco, un poco sin alma.
So, ¿Ahora que sigue? Pues, me gustaría recibir feedback, en plan, personas que si sepan de código jaja, y mejorar esto, ya sin una IA. Quiero aprender y mejorar

Game development smells a lot like other software development (and *can* be done that way), but it’s an entirely different world with decades of industry norms and expectations. Oftentimes, trying to apply the same approach as other software will seem baffling to game developers at best—and actively antagonistic at worst.

- Added platform adapter IDs for use with external editors/tooling
- Updated editors[1] to check for platform adapter & API version compatibility, display warnings if needed...
- Added/migrated three different seedable PRNG implementations in API core package (SFC32, XorShift128, XsAdd). These are completely independent and can be used by platform adapters and/or artworks (also multiple instances)
- Initial release of first platform adapter for an upcoming art platform (currently invite only)
- Restructured all example projects
- Updated readme & API docs (https://docs.thi.ng/genart-api/core/)
[1] The param editor/sandbox requires your artwork to use the latest version of these packages: `@genart-api/core` and `@genart-api/adapter-urlparams`.

The 2022 tech layoffs were 70% women. BIPOC, queer, and disabled workers were also terminated at higher rates.
While we can't prevent corporate layoffs, we can ensure the future of the free and open source community is more diverse and inclusive. Outreachy and Conservancy are vital to that future.
@outreachy connects people who face discrimination and systemic bias to internships in free and open source software. @conservancy staff and contractors run Outreachy.
Outreachy corporate sponsorships and grants have been drastically reduced since 2022. This means Outreachy can't offer as many internships to people who face discrimination and systemic bias in tech. Outreachy's normal 60 to 70 intern cohorts have been reduced to 25 to 35 interns.
Please consider donating to the Conservancy fundraiser, in support of Outreachy and the diverse and inclusive future FOSS needs:

Mostly because largely Just Works. But also because the support and community are great.

Almost each time I get a Dependabot alert, I've been using it as an opportunity to remove some 3rd party dependency. This doesn't mean my code is more secure (albeit I'm trying), but at least it's under my control, or is replaced with more native/built-in/vetted packages.
Latest case: An alert for a transitive dependency of `express` just caused me to refactor the only one (of 180) example projects in https://thi.ng/umbrella which depended on the latter, replaced with a barebones NodeJS built-in solution (good enough for this use case) and resulting in ~60 less dependencies in total...

Major #GenArtAPI project updates from this past week:
- Restructured the project as monorepo, splitting out core API and platform adapter(s) as separate packages
- Switched package scope from `@thi.ng` to `@genart-api` to highlight project/platform independence (not directly related with other thi.ng projects).
- Published new packages: `@genart-api/core` and `@genart-api/adapter-urlparams`
- Moved API docs to https://docs.thi.ng/genart-api/core/
- Added support for n-dimensional vector parameters and added support in the reference platform adapter and in param editor
- Updated all examples & parameter editor. The latter is now only compatible with this latest API version (v0.16.0)
- Updated docs/readme
If you want to find out more, the project readme has _a lot_ more information. Also feel free to get in touch with any questions/proposals!

ROTA is completely open source, built with Godot, and released on Flathub (including for ARM!). And seriously, it’s SO GOOD. So much love and attention has been poured into it.

I’ve heard some reasons game devs avoid open sourcing second-hand:
• Licensing difficulties w/assets
• Fear of losing sales
• Fear of someone else taking your work
• Not wanting to publicly share “messy” or presumed poor-quality code
• No obvious benefit for single-dev games
• Games tend to be released “finished,” versus always-updated software
Are these accurate? Am I missing anything obvious? :) I’d love to hear from game developers themselves.
Cassidy James
@cassidy@blaede.family
Question for my game developer friends out there (please also feel free to boost/share widely!): why do indie games still tend to be closed source, especially compared to indie app ecosystems where there are thriving open source communities?
That’s obviously a super broad question, but I’m open to broad perspectives. :) I’m especially interested in hearing from folks who have been actively involved in video game design, development, publishing, etc.

@toxi@mastodon.thi.ng
It just dawned on me that I haven't been mentioning five(!) recent https://thi.ng/genart-api updates, all from the past month... 😱
The latest version (v0.14.0, just released) is largely about an overhaul of messaging related functionality and also addresses use cases related to managing multiple artworks embedded (via `<iframe>`s) in a single document/page (think: online gallery scenarios...)
If you're already using GenArtAPI message/event listeners in your own artwork, you might have to rename some of them. This commit has the important details:
https://github.com/thi-ng/genart-api/commit/35b627d7380bad75d280cc1e051ec7ed23aa8995
Also, the online parameter editors have been updated and are now only working with the latest version of the API, so be sure to update your artwork projects to stay compatible:
Generic editor harness (for your own compatible artworks):
https://demo.thi.ng/genart-api/param-editors/
Demo (with test artwork):
https://demo.thi.ng/genart-api/param-editors/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdemo.thi.ng%2Fgenart-api%2Fparam-test%2F
Other recent changes/additions (in no particular order):
- added new message types to poll the artwork/API for current state/info
- update message names & naming convention
- added ability to configure the API behavior/features (also via messaging)
- option to emit frame messages w/ current timing/frame info
- message broadcasting to multiple GenArtAPI instances/artworks
- inject common defaults for optional settings in param specs
- fixed date/datetime param handling (in editor)
- updated/fixed time providers
- updated debug time provider (w/ FPS visualization overlay)
- use gzip compression for image param values (in default platform adapter)
- added version info
- various documentation updates
- (WIP) WASM bindings for Zig-based artworks
- (WIP) unpublished progress on real platform adapters
Some of these features are all about enabling new use cases and improving usability of external tooling around artworks adapting GenArtAPI, for example:
- Ability to broadcast start/stop messages to either individual or all artworks embedded in a page
- Ability for the param editor to configure the artwork currently being worked on to emit timing & frame information (which then can be integrated in the editor UI without the editor knowing anything else about the artwork)
- Enable editors to identify an artwork/project and store param presets grouped by project ID
- Allow editors (or other tools) to check the API version used by the artwork by first sending a `genart:get-info` message, then listening for `genart:info` response (then maybe display a warning if version is incompatible)
- etc.
If you want to find out more, the project readme has _a lot_ more information. Also feel free to get in touch with any questions!

If you have an open account and don't have new followers to request, then please count on one of these "Thanksgiving guests" and let's assume that after digesting your posts, replies and following turkeys and pies they will multiply in the #Fediverse
I would be very happy to receive well-documented answers. So far I have found that the name Awakari and the unannounced approach by #Mastodon and via activitypup are causing some users considerable discomfort. So far I can't find any transparency here, what is Aktivitypup actually doing? Does anyone of you know that? and by you I don't mean the developer of this software! But you. .. .

The corporation behind #Redis is now starting to chase #OpenSource client libraries claiming trademark violations https://github.com/redis-rs/redis-rs/issues/1419 and are attempting to have the projects transferred to them.
If it wasn't obvious before, now is a good time to fuck the hell off from that software. Just use #Valkey or one of the other alternatives.

...PARCE QUE EN FAIT la sténo est un système super fermé, les machines coûtent une blinde, la formation coûte une blinde, la licence coûte une blinde (sinon je serais sténographe depuis mes 15 ans).
Alors que c'est un outil génial et tellement indispensable, qui sert notamment à faire du transcript en direct, tenir les minutes d'une réu ou d'un procès, prendre des notes excessivement rapidement (on parle de 200-300 wpm VS 80-120 pour les plus rapides des dactylos)
mais surtout c'est un outil d'accessibilité inestimable. par exemple pour faire des transcripts pour les sourds et malentendants. Et moi quand un outil d'accessibilité est propriétaire et méga payant, ça me donne envie de casser des trucs.
C'est pour ça que j'ai crié en continu quand j'ai découvert Plover, https://www.openstenoproject.org/plover/ projet de logiciel (fonctionnel et disponible, depuis plusieurs années maintenant) ouvrant la sténo en open source, gratos.
À ma connaissance, des claviers de sténo open source, y en a sur le marché (je lurk sur le Georgi depuis un moment http://plover.stenoknight.com/2019/12/georgi-review.html ) mais pas vraiment dont tu peux imprimer la pcb toi-même, mais la fonction est implémentée dans QMK ( https://docs.qmk.fm/features/stenography ) et le Planck a une fonction de chording.
Edit : y a le Peridot. https://github.com/nekoewen/peridot-steno et le YASK https://github.com/ttempe/YASK
Tu vois c'est pour ça que je fantasme depuis un moment sur un mini ordi comme le DevTerm de chez Clockworkpi ( https://www.clockworkpi.com/shop ), mais avec un clavier de sténo, des fonctions minimalistes de traitement de texte, la possibilité de projeter sur un écran et un driver qui permettrait à l'imprimante thermique de chier du texte à mesure qu'il est écrit, en direct.
enfin, le reste est facile, et peut-être que je me sous-estime, mais je pense que c'est pas demain que j'ai les compétences pour pondre ce driver alors ma machine de sténo pas cher et accessible à tous reste un fantasme jusque là.
CECI ÉTANT DIT. Avec les outils existants (votre Planck et Plover) mes chers petits libristes,vous avez plus aucune excuse pour ne pas rendre vos events accessibles aux sourds et malentendants, donc je vous enjoins à vous en emparer massivement et faire le job. M'kay?

I did some hacking at @pkreissel's implementation of a customizable algorithm for your Mastodon feed. I fixed some bugs and added a few features but maybe most importantly I streamlined the process of installing and running the demo app so you can experience the magic of his invention reshaping your Mastodon timeline for yourself with ease.
Seriously everything about having an algorithm adjust my feed to make sure I see stuff I might otherwise have missed has made my Mastodon experience like 1,000x better. The fact that it's (extremely) granularly customizable is the icing on the cake.
Setup should be trivial for anyone vaguely familiar with the command line. Even if you're scared of the command line you should be able to copy/paste the 3 commands listed in the installation instructions, all of which are in the GitHub repo:

📣 Attention all custom ROM users and advocates for digital rights! 📣
Google's Play Integrity is limiting access to certain functionalities and applications for those using custom operating systems. This is a direct attack on the open-source community and a step towards further consolidating Google's monopoly in the mobile ecosystem.
The European Commission is aware of the situation, but has deemed it a low priority: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/PETI-CM-757267_EN.pdf

Stop Google from Limiting Custom ROMs! The Issue: Google systematically blocks access to apps and functionalities for users running custom Android operating systems, affecting millions of tech-savvy users who modify their devices. Why Users Choose Custom ROMs: • Overcome programmed obsolescence when manufacturers stop updating • Fix bugs in stock operating systems • Personalize and customize their device's software • Improve performance and privacy Google's False Justification: Google claims Play Integrity ensures "app security" by verifying unmodified app binaries on "genuine" Android devices. In reality, this is a tactic to: • Maintain its mobile operating system monopoly • Restrict user choice • Convince developers to stay dependent on Play Store Our Demand: We call on European Union to consider investigating the monopolistic tactics, and ask Google to allow custom ROM users to: • Access all applications • Use device capabilities fully • Exercise their right to modify owned technology This is about digital freedom, user rights, and challenging corporate control over personal technology.

"“We’re building an open-source social network that anyone can take into their own hands and build on, and it’s something that is radically different from anything that’s been done in social media before. Nobody’s been this open, this transparent and put this much control in the users hands.”"
Well, once again, no. ActivityPub and the Fediverse really did this in terms of the users with no companies dictating the terms. What Bluesky is doing is not "radically different" or "put this much control in the users hands". We still can't 100% host our own instances on Bluesky and 90% of the user base is on Bluesky's servers. It did not start with users, it started with the company. Huge difference.

Let's dissect this...
"“The billionaire proof is in the way everything is designed, and so if someone bought or if the Bluesky company went down, everything is open source,” Graber said."
Well, no. Open source tools can still be bring down and we've seen examples of that, where even "open source companies" have been bought and shut down.

This afternoon, an acquaintance joined a Mastodon instance and asked me which "celebrities" are present in the Fediverse, as if it were important to determine the value of a social network based on that.
I told him that the most important user in the Fediverse is him. Just as it’s you, reading this. Someone who has decided to interact with others freely. Who has chosen to trust their administrator (or create their own instance) more than they trust those who run traditional, monolithic, centralized social networks.
So, I want to thank all the friends of BSD Cafe, whether local or not, for being here and making this place what it is. And I thank all my friends in the Fediverse, who make my timeline lively, interesting, intelligent, fun, and thought-provoking - every day, at any time.

Each user can choose their preferred audio and subtitle language. Without installing programs or extensions.

Here is the changelog, compared the latest beta:
🦝 feat: make crash reports opt-in (disabled by default);

🦝 fix: transition between images/videos in detail view;
🦝 fix: unmute videos in detail view;
🦝 enhancement: update licenses;
🦝 chore: update dependencies;
🦝 chore: update user manual.

My 2 cents: The real value of learning skills (rather than just learning how to delegate them) is only fully realized once the option for delegation is removed again, be it for economical, sociopolitical, environmental or any other reason... This applies to delegation to other humans and/or AI alike!
A culture of learning new skills (incl. learning to learn!) is generative, i.e. it fosters/amplifies multiple outcomes and independence.
A culture delegation is one of generating/amplifying dependencies, often for only short term gains.
Both kinds are recursive in nature... but with their recursive properties oriented in opposite directions.

I'm considering two polar opposite talks in the poll below. There is a large discrepancy in the FOSS communities and 1 size doesn't fit all. What direction do you think I should go in and please, reply with WHY. The talk would be so much more effective if it had a tighter focus (e.g. focus on large or small teams)

@thisismissem @Gargron This public callout is brave and not baseless, thank you Emelia for bringing up the issue and especially for your hard work... This is actually something that I've seen and last time when @renchap was wondering about why I'm hesitant writing some UI work or sending SVG stuff ideas to your way in a form of a PR, this is one of the reasons. If the huge time invested goes unnoticed or even exploited, its better to put your efforts to a fork or a mod instead.
The Mastodon core team should have a serious internal conversation about this. Doesn't really welcome anyone to contribute.

My appeal to purveyors of large portals providing "Open Source Insights": Please, please update/fix your analysis logic (or provide config support) to support monorepos! At the very least refrain from actively spreading misinformation and by doing so negatively impacting/hurting package selection/uptake/usage decisions! Please consider the downstream effects on indy open source developers!
Latest case: Google's https://deps.dev (to which I just emailed the below), but numerous other similar "analysis" portals exist, most of them not supporting/considering monorepo setups either and therefore ending up mistreating/misjudging not just a single project, but ALL (in my case ~200) other projects in such repos! All being punished by negative scoring caused by analysis errors!
"[...]your service is producing factually wrong metadata for projects hosted in large Google-style multi-project monorepos. For example, my monorepo (https://thi.ng/umbrella) is home to ~200 TypeScript projects/packages, all of which are distributed as independent offerings. Yet, your analysis logic does not consider such monorepo setups at all and wrongly causes a severe negative impact on the scoring of *all* of projects developed & hosted in such a manner. This is simply unacceptable and is actively hurting (not just my own) efforts of maintaining a large number of open source projects for a long time...
Random package from that monorepo (but again, the very same issues are reported for ALL packages in the repo):
https://deps.dev/npm/%40thi.ng%2Ftransducers
Issue #1: Vulnerabilities
Your analysis claims there're 7 existing vulnerabilities (listed below), but again NONE of them applies to the package in question and only 2 of them actually ever related to other packages in this repo. Both have been fixed months/years ago, within a few days of reporting:
- GHSA-rj44-gpjc-29r7 (only applied to thi.ng/egf, fixed 2021-03-27)
- GHSA-8ppr-www8-hfjx (only applied to thi.ng/paths, fixed 2024-01-30)
- GHSA-pxg6-pf52-xh8x (UNRELATED to any package in this repo)
- GHSA-78xj-cgh5-2h22 (UNRELATED)
- GHSA-2p57-rm9w-gvfp (UNRELATED)
- GHSA-gcx4-mw62-g8wm (UNRELATED)
- GHSA-f5x3-32g6-xq36 (UNRELATED)
Issue #2: Binary assets
Here your analysis WRONGLY states this package contains two binary artifacts, however the files listed are _test assets_ for a completely different package (https://deps.dev/npm/%40thi.ng%2Fwasm-api), and even for this other package, these test binaries are NOT distributed as part of the package (they're merely present in the repo only). This is completely misleading!"

Various #ThingUmbrella and #GenArtAPI updates from this week:
- Added null pointer checks & guards in https://thi.ng/wasm-api. This also includes support for structs with fields using Zig-style optional pointers.
- Updated the https://thi.ng/wasm-api-bindgen code generator for #TypeScript to produce smaller code for structs using many string fields
- Did major ground work on #Zig #WebAssembly bindings of core https://thi.ng/genart-api functionality (see small demo below)
- Fixed/updated/simplified time provider logic
- Updated the debug time provider with its FPS analytics/visualization overlay, now computing moving min/max and moving average (default period = 200 frames) and the viz is dynamically/smoothly rescaling to current peak
- Released new GenArtAPI v0.9.0
As for the Zig/WASM example: This is only interesting from a technical POV, no visuals here! All canvas drawing and parameter declarations/evaluations are done via Zig, using the aforementioned https://thi.ng/wasm-api infrastructure to provide a new API module which can be seamlessly used with the other hybrid WASM API modules, here for DOM creation (https://thi.ng/wasm-api-dom) and to handle Canvas2D drawing (https://thi.ng/wasm-api-canvas).
At the moment, this GenArtAPI WASM module is still a fixed part of this example, but will eventually be extracted & distributed as separate package.
Demo (with param editor):
https://demo.thi.ng/genart-api/param-editors/?url=https://demo.thi.ng/genart-api/zig-test/
Choose one of the two GUI implementations, then make any parameter changes and you should see the new values applied immediately (btw. the demo is likely not very usable on mobile)...

What I love about Mastodon is that how open it is. I am a very open person, too. As long as I remember I have loved transparecy in things I do. Back in the early 2000s I wrote a diary online (still do!) and some older Internet user sent me an email: "I wonder why you are openly telling about these things, isn't it dangerous?". I didn't tell my secrets. It was an ordinary day of a school boy nerd. Yes, sometimes I do worry about my data online. The things I expose, in a sense. However, I think I have the IQ for not telling something that I wouldn't write on a billboard. Openness has more pros than cons. With great power comes great responsibility.
I believe openness and open source brings safety and increases trust. To be clear, transparency and openness does NOT reduce privacy or data protection. On the contrary.
Mastodon's code is out in the open, its users are scattered on their own servers and the mentality generally is open and sincere. It makes me feel most at home.

Why pay for something free? Because free software only exists because other people already paid for it. Someone has to do it. It's time to do your part!

I’m excited to hear that opensearchfoundation.org is working on this exact problem, though they’re focusing their efforts on Europe exclusively. Worth a read of their website; they’re funded by a grant from the EU and are technologically competent. They’ve crawled 2 billion URLs so far and are well on their way to a 2025 delivery date.
My guess is the index files will go somewhat viral and OSF-based search will be available in North America as well.

The university that does this will have an unending treasure trove of capstone and thesis projects for students in technical majors. Search is a thousand hard CS/DS/IT problems and cat-and-mouse games combined into one. Is it enough to justify the cost? No. But with a subsidy, it certainly wouldn’t be a chore.
Isaac Lyman
@isaaclyman@toot.cafe · Reply to Isaac Lyman's post
Building, hosting, and maintaining a performant search index is expensive. We likely will not ever see a nonprofit come up with the resources to do this. But the internet is an indispensable pillar of infrastructure, and is extraordinarily difficult to use without search.
Economically speaking, the right solution is to treat search as a public good and pay for it with our taxes.
Isaac Lyman
@isaaclyman@toot.cafe · Reply to Isaac Lyman's post
To be clear, I’m calling for an open source *index*, not another search engine.
Practically all search engines (whether for-profit or nonprofit) are renting results from Google and/or Microsoft. The indexes maintained by both companies are driven by anti-consumer motives.
If there were a stable, financially independent index available to the public, we’d have our choice of for-profit, nonprofit, and FOSS engines built on top of it.

Some #GenArtAPI and #ThingUmbrella releases from this past week:
https://thi.ng/genart-api is already at v0.8.1 now. This latest version includes a new "debug mode" time provider plugin which also collects and computes frame rate statistics (moving average) and injects a canvas visualization overlay (everything configurable). Together with the parameter editor, this is a small, but useful tool to help configuring an artwork and ensure fluid performance on a target device/platform...
The URL chooser of the reference implementation's parameter editor is also mobile friendly now. You can see a demo of both in action here:
https://demo.thi.ng/genart-api/param-editors/?url=https://demo.thi.ng/genart-api/param-test/
Some https://thi.ng/umbrella related updates:
https://thi.ng/memoize: Function memoization/caching. Added support for async functions/promises and made existing implementations variadic (and removed fixed arity versions!). This is thanks to a feature request by Hitomi Tenshi...
https://thi.ng/transducers-stats: Functional sequence processing. Added moving minimum/maximum transducers (deque-based to be super efficient) and updated Donchian channel transducer (aka moving min/max bounds) to also benefit from new implementation
There's also ongoing major (re)work of the long-promised 2D/3D mesh implementation. It's still on a private feature branch, but I'm getting closer for initial release...

Open Source is a #software development model based on publication of public codebases, so all users get unlimited access to the original source code used to create the application, framework or library.
#OpenSource promotes collaboration, transparency, and community involvement, because everybody can contribute to the codebase, report bugs and suggest new features.

Does anyone know whether #Logseq will still run locally/offline after the new database version launches? I'm quite concerned that we'll go from a great app that runs completely offline to a complex database setup that's a pain to host and a pain to backup. I'm not convinced this is a good move.

Update. "While the Open Source Initiative (OSI, @osi) is diligently working on defining the term “#OpenSource #AI,” our work [at the @linuxfoundation] focuses on a narrower scope, extending from the Model Openness Framework we’ve developed in LF AI & Data. These definitions represent a natural evolution of our ongoing efforts and are aligned with the broader goals of openness, transparency, and collaboration that underpin the open source community."

They posit you can still modify (tune) the distributed models without the training source. You can also modify a binary executable without its source code. Frankly that's unacceptable if we actually care about the human beings using the software.
A key pillar of freedom as it relates to software is reproducibility. The ability to build a tool from scratch, in your own environment, with your own parameters, is absolutely indispensable to both learning how the tool works and changing the tool to better serve your needs, especially if your needs fall on the outskirts of the bell curve.
There's also the issue of auditability. If you can't run the full build process yourself, producing your own results from scratch in a trusted environment to compare with what's distributed, it becomes exponentially harder to verify any claims about how a tool supposedly works.
Without the training data, this all becomes impossible for AI models. The OSI knows this. They're choosing to ignore it for the sake of expediency for the companies paying their bills, who want to claim "open" because it sounds good while actually hiding the (largely stolen and fraudulently or non-consentually acquired) source material of their current models.
Do we want a new definition of "open source" that actively thwarts analysis and tinkering, two fundamental requirements of software that respects human beings today? Reject this nonsense.

The "Open Source" AI Definition 1.0 is ... uh ... not very good, is it?
That's like allowing someone to claim they're publishing "Open Source" because they tell you where to go buy the source code.
The models/weights section doesn't even specify which licenses might satisfy.
This is open-washing.

As the OSI prepares to make official its "open source AI" definition with a glaring lack of requirement that the actual source (training data) is made available, it's worth noting that their work is funded by google, meta, microsoft, salesforce, etc. What does open source even mean here if the literal source of the model isn't open? These companies are invested in making you think they're on your side while they boil the oceans to avoid paying human beings for labor.
The idea behind open source, as it grew out of the free software movement, has always been to water down software freedoms, to create something more palatable to corporate interests that *sounds* good but means very little. This continues that work for the current "gen AI" bubble. It's time to ditch open source as an ideal, and the OSI especially.

@raccoonforfriendicaapp new version 0.1.0-beta13 available!
Changelog:
🦝 migration to Material3 pull-to-refresh components;
🦝 moved app info to navigation bar and improve "About" dialog;
🦝 add open-source licences screen;
🦝 additional more readable font;
🦝 redesign application icon and splash screen;
🦝 add new l10ns (Polish and Portuguese);
🦝 fix spoiler closing immediately after being opened;
🦝 added experimental support to background notification check;
🦝 code refactoring and cleanup.
The icon change was made necessary because in order to display notifications in the status bar a small monochrome icon has to be provided and the old one has too many details. But since every cloud has a silver lining, this was the occasion to redesign a new one and, by combining it with the icon of the Lemmy app, create a logo for the Procyon project, i. e. the umbrella organization both clients belong to.

Ok, ok, ok... I've softened my strict rules of absolute digital minimalism a bit and allowed some additional apps on my Pixel 9.
Compared to the previous setup, I installed Aurora Store at short notice to get the following apps installed:
Firefox (instead of Fennec, because of faster security updates), FUTO Keyboard (because of swipe function, it types much faster!), Fossify Gallery (instead of the standard gallery), standard SMS app instead of QUIKSMS, Pixel Camera (much better image quality, but completely without permissions! ), Localsend (for sending photos and files back and forth between Pixel and PC), Mullvad VPN (catch me!), Proton Pass (changed all passwords to long, complicated ones) and as a visual gimmick: Breezy Weather (so that the home screen doesn't look so boring).

Hi all,
My name is Vinay, and I'm excited to be trying out social media after a gap of over a decade. I believe in the power of the unbridled, corporation-free internet to connect people and effect social change.
My long-term passions are: veganism for a cruelty-free, climate-friendly future, improving healthcare access in East Africa and beyond (I work for Maisha Meds), learning Spanish and supporting #OpenSource #FOSS projects. I also care about data privacy and transparency.
More broadly and in no particular order, I'm into homesteading, #permaculture, cycle touring, community-led projects, and queer rights.

From Ruins to Resilience: How Developing and Utilizing Open Source Solutions Enhances CSIRT Capabilities

When you buy proprietary tools, you’re at the low end of both “doing” and “capabilities.” You rely on external vendors, and your organization has less control over customization or internal improvement. Integrating proprietary or open-source tooling via APIs is a step up in capabilities. You are working to connect systems but may still be reliant on external providers for updates or changes. Contributing to open-source projects increases both capabilities and autonomy. At this stage, your organization is actively shaping the tools it uses, and you’re likely interacting directly with the open-source community. The peak of capabilities and “doing” occurs when your team is actively maintaining open-source tooling. Here, the organization takes full ownership of development, support, and customization, gaining the highest level of control and expertise or even rewarding from a creative experience.

I should probably make a proper #introduction post. So guess now is fine?
Hello! I am Ari Archer. I am an #LGBT 17-year-old #OpenSource #Autistic developer from #Lithuania who likes to mess around with #software, #backend development, and of course my favourite #programming languages: #C (ANSI #C89 is my favourite C standard) and #Python :) I can fuck around in Assembly too, although I tend to think it's not practical in most cases, although I don't do that much low level programming for it to matter, I do enjoy occasional #ProgrammingLanguage development, though.
I have a (shitty) #website on https://ari.lt/ (which I need to re-re-re-write (I need to rewrite it for the 3rd time, the 2nd time was fine I think, but I kinda made it bad now ;-; because it's basically all #JavaScript), I also have a #blog at https://blog.ari.lt/ which I post random #thoughts, #progress, #tutorials, #recipes, etc. on, could I call it #lifestyle content? I don't know. I also like #cats (and I have one named Tina and I love her very much), #cooking, and #researching random things which I yap about to my friends.
I am very pro-#selfhosting and feel like more people should do it, maybe not anything large or mainstream, but at least try to, #learning about things is fun, and self-hosting teaches you a lot, as well as making it easier for people to migrate to #foss easier, which I believe to be a good thing. Most of my beliefs are centred around "by people for people" as in everything should be accessible, open source, and #free as in #freedom.
I hope I enjoy my stay on #fedi these days as I haven't really been on fedi for a while now, in the mean time you can reach me on #email (ari@ari.lt), #matrix (@ari:ari.lt) or #Git/#GitHub (https://ari.lt/gh).

I had posted once about the need of some annual action for the promotion of an open source and decentralised Internet. I have found that there was an attempt to introduce the #InternetFreedomDay, held at 18th of January to commemorate the victory in the case of #sopapipa acts in the USA. I think that the #fediverse totally corresponds with the ideas of that day, so it would be good occasion to revive it. What do you think about?

More exciting updates to https://thi.ng/genart-api, an API for browser-based generative artworks:
- added two list param types (numeric & string)
- added support for composite/nested param types, esp. interesting for custom param types declared by artworks and/or platforms
- updated the first (of two) GUI param editors in the reference implementation to support composite params
- added new example showcasing custom & composite param types (oscillators)
New example w/ editor (make sure to select the "imgui" editor):
https://demo.thi.ng/genart-api/param-editors/?url=https://demo.thi.ng/genart-api/param-custom/
Example source code:
https://github.com/thi-ng/genart-api/blob/main/examples/param-custom/src/index.ts
To explain a bit further: The example defines a custom oscillator parameter type, which itself consists of multiple sub-params to configure waveform, frequency, amplitude etc. Using the GenArtAPI messaging protocol, the external param editor (not knowing anything about the artwork or this custom param type) can still provide GUI widgets to customize the 2 oscillators used... Likewise, the artwork is completely decoupled from how those oscillator values are being computed or how they're customized via the editor...

It's time for a re- #introduction since this instance has changed a lot since being launched.
This instance was set up for testing and playing with Internationalized Domain Names. That experiment has mostly been a success and I've now migrated away from my once-main instance.
I'm a former software developer of over 20 years, working primarily in #opensource and #telephony. I now do #cybersecurity as a profession, after starting to do cybersecurity research as a hobby about a year ago.
In the last year, I've found and disclosed several dozen #vulnerabilities in #govtech platforms like #court and #voter registration systems, which have gotten a not insignificant amount of press coverage. Those disclosures can all be seen at https://govtech.cc
Beyond my #infosec postings, you'll typically find nonsense that I find funny; sometimes I might even say stuff that other people find amusing.
I once self-published a book that I've never read called The Consequences of Being Right (ISBN 979-8880045068). It was entirely written by ChatGPT and was published because I thought it was stupid and funny. Miraculously, I've managed to sell two copies, neither of which have been returned.

@solene@bsd.network
When I'm asked why OpenBSD is good and that I want to reply honestly, I have no argument.
From a technical point of view, I can't tell any strong benefits using OpenBSD, NetBSD or FreeBSD over Linux, although this doesn't mean they are bad.
It would be easy for me to be "cargo-culting" facts, being a "fanboy" or enumerating features that are exclusive to one (and they are rare, except if you are looking for the very very same feature!).
The truth is that what one OS will do better than an other, it will also do worse in another area.
It's important that we keep the BSD systems as relevant Linux alternatives: for software diversity, innovation and freedom of choice.

Hi Fediverse!

- I'm a furry
- I love #Linux and #opensource software.
- And I especially love #macro woman 😈 and #sizetodon in general.

@toxi@mastodon.thi.ng
Lots of new additions & improvements to the https://thi.ng/genart-api proposal, documentation, the reference implementation, examples and param editors this week:
- added new (12th) parameter type: image maps (supporting grayscale or RGB)
- added new example project using an image parameter to create artwork
- added code example showing how an art platform (or artwork itself) might define & work with a custom parameter type (example: sine oscillator)
- added/updated API docs (https://docs.thi.ng/umbrella/genart-api/)
- started documenting API states & transitions (diagram still WIP, forthcoming)
- initial documentation of message protocol (for communicating w/ parent window and/or external tooling)
- simplified the pluggable time provider implementations (for animation)
- updated the reference implementation platform adapter to support all built-in param types
- major update GUI param editors, now allowing users to dynamically load & customize externally hosted (compatible!) artworks, and also supporting image params, custom color chooser component...
Example editors:
- https://demo.thi.ng/genart-api/param-editors/?url=https://demo.thi.ng/genart-api/param-test/ — either of the two editors can be used...
- https://demo.thi.ng/genart-api/param-editors/?url=https://demo.thi.ng/genart-api/param-image/ — currently only the rdom-forms editor can be used for this and you'll need to choose an image for the other params to make sense...
(Note: The imgui-based editor is NOT mobile friendly. Also, the editor sidebar can be toggled on/off via Escape key)
As usual, everything's work-in-progress until further notice. Feedback welcome!

The idea is to make it easy for people to find interesting projects that they could use and/or contribute to.
It is super easy to add your project to the website! simply fill out a form (https://forms.office.com/e/5QtUtMc3hw), and a bit of #python code will transform it to a #hugo webapge! [1/n]

Enfim, pra baixá-los, recomendo baixar e usar o F-Droid, porém haverá uns lugares específicos para baixar alguns, mas eu explico nessas avaliações.

I felt that I needed a 100% unencumbered public domain tool for simple yet strong file encryption. So I committed some of the worst cryptography sins: I coded the tool in C, and didn't use any available cryptography library (rolled my own, based on available public domain code).

Emerging observations on how lockdown was great for #opensource:
Work from home was blessed as a valid thing
Sci-fi-like casual video conferencing without hesitation around the world is now the norm for some of us, only limited by time zones and languages.
Group video chat is equally familiar and commonplace, with excellent self-policing of audio quality and behavior.
Events are focusing on quality over quantity, complimenting the above.
Basically, the “open source seems to be where drunk guys pinch your butt while mansplaining you” factors were globally nipped in the bud.
Good work everyone!
These are delightful times!

The speaker, Benjamin, introduces and discusses Castopod, an open-source platform for hosting podcasts. He explains that Castopod functions like a Content Management System (CMS) dedicated to podcasts, comparing it to platforms like WordPress, but specifically designed for podcasters. Key points covered in the talk: - Why open-source matters for podcasting: It gives users control over their data, content, and brand, allowing them to manage their own domain name and file system. - The value of user independence: By using open-source solutions like Castopod, podcast creators can maintain complete control over their podcasting infrastructure without relying on third-party platforms. - Castopod enables creators to build their own identity, ensuring their content is not bound by the restrictions or policies of commercial hosting services.jbz

A small compendium of the Fediverse platforms I use/know well.
In the past few days, I revisited some of my old Fediverse instances since some friends asked me to help them set up a new one. I also took the chance to perform maintenance on some leftover instances. Here's my experience:
Akkoma: My oldest instance still running, opened in 2022. It was offline for a few months (3/4). I updated everything to the latest version and restarted it. I’m not sure why, but it’s extremely slow, with a heavy load on Postgres and many queries just to open the main page. I like Akkoma - I'll investigate further.
GoToSocial: I updated a friend's instance - GoToSocial itself was up-to-date, but the underlying system wasn’t. I noticed that once it exceeds 2000 followings, it becomes a bit slow. The database is PostgreSQL, but that's not the issue. The GoToSocial process becomes somewhat heavy on the VPS. Still, it's very usable and a software with great potential, in my opinion. The Mastodon API is implemented quite well and works with the major software.
Mitra: It seems well-built. The person had around 1000 followers and followings on a Mastodon account, which they moved from a large instance. No speed issues, though sending a message makes the server “heavy” for a bit, but it’s temporary. The Mastodon API is partially implemented, but the software is advancing quickly, and I find its native interface quite pleasant.
Snac2: I've always had a soft spot for Snac2. The lack of a database and some design choices make it an excellent solution for small instances. For example, sending posts to all known instances increases visibility and interaction. Its basic, JavaScript-free interface is very clear, though it might not be the best for those used to Mastodon. But the Mastodon API is improving version by version, and I think the developer is doing an excellent job. It struggles a bit with larger numbers, but that's due to the underlying file system, not the software itself. If "move" support (both in and out) were added, I would recommend it to anyone starting self-hosting for single-user or small community instances because "move" is one of the options that gives the most freedom in Fediverse software.
Mastodon: My “old” personal instance was stuck at version 4.1.x and had been offline for a few months. I updated the FreeBSD Jail and upgraded Mastodon to 4.2.12 and then to 4.3.0-beta1. No issues. I also helped a friend (who had an old Pleroma-based instance they barely used) migrate. This user has around 5000 followers and followings - Mastodon is running on FreeBSD on a VPS (arm64) for just over 3 euros a month, with no significant issues (apart from media storage, but that's not Mastodon’s fault). Mastodon is sometimes said to be heavy, and that's partly true, but its modularity ensures that even in cases of overload, queues may slow down, but navigation and the local timeline remain reasonably fast. I think this is a good thing for any larger-scale use of an instance.
In short, I think things are moving in the right direction, and the software is evolving nicely. Well done, devs!

The American #FCC is accepting public comment on a proposal that would license the 902-928 MHz band to a private company (NextNav Inc) for use in terrestrial location tracking as a commercial alternative to free #GPS, GLONASS, & Galileo satellite positioning systems. The company already operates in the 920-928 MHz band.
This will significantly interfere with #LoRaWAN IOT devices and could have dire consequences for #decentralized communication networks such as #Meshtastic.
NextNav intends to deprive the public of these unlicensed frequencies and build a nationwide monopoly on PNT infrastructure in the 902-928 MHz band. (https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/10416238018537/1)
This is not only harmful to the #opensource and #openhardware community, it is a gross misappropriation of the public's precious radio frequencies to further the goals of a monopolistic for-profit corporation.

Open source is the libertarianism [derogatory] of the software world. It's the adolescent, knee-jerk "don't tell me what to do" of licensing.
And just like libertarianism, it's completely co-opted by big money interests using the sentiment to entrench their own interests over the needs of real human beings.
Copyleft on the other hand is punk as fuck. Copyleft is anarchist praxis for software. Copyleft builds community. Copyleft ensures code belongs to actual human beings in perpetuity, even as it grows and evolves.
Fuck open source. Use copyleft licenses.

If your institution uses #OpenSource software, it should chip in to support it.
We can extend the idea to the #OpenInfrastructure supporting #OpenAccess to research. First, institutions should use open rather than proprietary #infrastructure (see e.g. the #BOAI20, Recommendation 1). Second, when they use it, they should chip in to support it.

Canceled my #noteapp #Evernote #subscription after massive #priceincrease and got an immediatly discount of 40% the second time now.
But @notesnook costs regularily 55.09 Euro as payed Pro version. After I registered for a free account I got one day later an offer about 16.35 Euro excl. VAT
https://notesnook.com/pricing/
There is just 2 tiers for #Notesnook , Free and Pro, you have the full features. No limits.
#Notesnook is #secure and #OpenSource
Here some key features of Pro:
- End-to-end encryption
- Cross-platform availability (Web-Browser, Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, IOS and WebClipper for Chromium and Firefox)
- Open source
- User-friendly interface
- Advanced text editor
- Note linking
- Share password encrypted links
- Secure storage
- Note vault
- Reminders and task management
- Unlimited attachments and storage
- Automatic encrypted backups
- Export options (PDF, HTML, Text, Markdown)
Also the #free version of #Notesnook offers more than #Evernote free.
The planned features are also very impressiv, the work at different translations and a self hosted sync-server is in progress. It's worth to #support the #software #project.

Unfortunately, the new software would merely "underpin" #OpenResearchEurope (#ORE), not replace it. ORE is proprietary software owned by #TaylorAndFrancis. When the EC called for bids on ORE, it did not require open code despite many calls to do so.

Great app, the only problem it has is that it's not node-based, like all modern compositors are. That's AE's Achilles heel too, and why it never conquer #Hollywood. Nodes are the present, and the future.

Last week I mentioned the open source privilege. It has a big brother: the self-hosting privilege. Escaping surveillance is one valid motive to self-host, but not everyone can do it.
Let’s design tech that solves systemic problems. Let’s include the busy ones, the families, the elders, those who don’t know and those who can’t afford to care.
Let’s take care of society as a whole.

In this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News video, we have some Rust and BcacheFS drama that seems to annoy Linus Torvalds, a new Linux gaming console from the people behind #EmuDeck, and KDE adding a "donations" notification to try and raise more funding (although I would have gone farther than they did here):

Let's see. When I was younger I liked telephones. A lot. I still do. That included exploring the PSTN and causing general mischief. I have a Western Electric 1D2 payphone in my bedroom. Among other hobbies... I'm an amateur radio operator, Linux user, open source supporter and electronics meddler. I admire any human who has the patience to work in infosec.
I can't really stomach the wallowing echo chamber of Twitter, so maybe this will be better.

Alongside his physical makeover, Mark Zuckerberg has spent the past few years positioning himself as a champion of openness.
But whether with the metaverse or AI, it’s clear any talk of open source is little more than an instrumental ploy to get out under Apple and control the next tech platform.

Update. The Open Source Initiative (@osi, #OSI) is trying to define what counts as #OpenSource #AI.
https://simonwillison.net/2024/Aug/27/open-source-ai/
"There is one very notable absence from the definition: while it requires the code and weights be released under an OSI-approved #license, the #TrainingData itself is exempt from that requirement."

I've been working on a to–do-list app (made with Godot) for some time now and while I can't be bothered to record a video right now, I figured I should probably start talking about it in public more often, so here's a first screenshot.
It's free and open source: https://github.com/njamster/habituary (Although I would recommend you still wait a few weeks for a beta version before giving it a try).

A screenshot of my to-do list app "Habituary", displaying lists for three days (yesterday, today and tomorrow) next to each other. There is only one entry in yesterday's list, reading "Hopefully I did this", which appears greyed out because it's attached to an already passed date. For today (highlighted by a special blue heading) there are four entries: "Wake up" (which appears grayed out, because it was marked as done), followed by a heading titled "Mastodon" (with all caps text and a bright background) towering over the two remaining to-dos "Boost all the great things" and "ScreenshotSaturday". A blue line marks the position of the mouse cursor, which wasn't captured for this screenshot. For tomorrow, there appears to only be one to-do: "Get famous". Buttons on the side suggest that the view can get scrolled backwards and forwards in time – and also changed to include 1, 5 or 7 days instead.Collabora Office

The lack-of-conclusion to @mpotter's well-intentioned #disinformation proposal for #socialcoop (https://www.loomio.com/d/Ahx86rZJ/framework-for-moderation/131) illustrates well for me how democratic & transparent digital #governance can be better served with #opensource's method of separating problems & solutions via issues & pull/merge requests, than with corporate/#coop's centuries-old system where things are bundled into a single proposal that's voted on.
I'll try to explain the difference for those who may only know one method…

I just saw that Mozilla is retiring the Mozilla Location Service which provides an open, crowdsourced alternative to proprietary location services from Google and other vendors. 😰
https://github.com/mozilla/ichnaea/issues/2065
This is used by GNOME and thus Fedora, Ubuntu, Endless OS, etc. to help provide OS-level location services without requiring every app to implement its own. And apparently a patent troll is part of the reason Mozilla stopped investing in it. 🙃

Liebe Followis,
vielleicht könnt ihr das teilen:
Ich möchte mich zu Anfang des kommenden Jahres neu ausserhalb der Uni orientieren und suche dazu eine studentische Hilfskraftstelle, am besten mit Option zur Weiterbeschäftigung. Themenbereiche siehe anhand der Hashtags oben. Remote bevorzugt, Studiumsort ist Kassel.
Zur Zeit bin ich studentische Hilfskraft an meiner Uni am Fachgebiet soziologische Theorie, dort in einem Projekt zu zukunftsorientierter Verbraucherforschung und Verbraucherschutz. Das Projekt deckt viele verschiedene Themenbereiche ab, da interdisziplinär ausgerichtet.
Ich kann generell:
mich schnell in neue Themen einarbeiten, gute Hintergrundrecherchen liefern, lerne durch das Projekt einen Teil Veranstaltungsorganisation kennen, bin interessiert an vielfältigen Umweltthemen und digitaler Transformation zu digitaler Souveränität.
Ab nächstes Jahr Sommersemester schreibe ich meine Masterarbeit und möchte danach auch in einem Job in einem der oben genannten Themenbereiche arbeiten.
Falls jemand weiß, ob eventuell Anfang 2025 eine eben solche studentische Hilfskraft gebraucht werden würde, bitte gerne benachrichtigen.

My reply to a GitHub discussion on why WordPress should have their own Mastodon account:
Well, the first thing what I'm a bit bummed about here is that why is WordPress.org seeking only a commercial, wide-as-possible-reach type of platform in social media when the other major foot is obviously in the open source world? Mastodon and the Fediverse is full of WordPress and PHP people and influencers, WordPress itself connects to ActivityPub and Threads.net connects to ActivityPub as well. So the reach is not any absolute metric here as it's not just one platform. It's the whole web.
For the second question, just see how much WordPress is talked about between instances, I've seen numerous folks of missing the official WordPress account there, including the community folks.
Here are some examples of the brand accounts:
- Internet Archive, 52K followers
- Have I Been Pwned, 14K followers
- 9to5Mac, 25K followers
- World Wide Web Consortium, 31K followers
- GIMP, 10K followers
- Electronic Frontier Foundation, 62K followers
- 1Password, 9.3K followers
- Signal, 51K followers
In my mind the worlds largest open source CMS should be a part of this open social web movement.

Time for this week's #Linux and #OpenSource news video!
In this one, #Nvidia (allegedly) stole content from millions of youtube videos to train its AI tools (who is surprised?), we have a potential release date for elementary OS 8, we have the release of the #CosmicDesktop alpha, more HDR work in #GNOME, and a lot more!
Fedora Project
@fedora@fosstodon.org
Which Lenovo products support Linux?
Here's your starting point! Their Linux team maintains this list of platforms that support not only Fedora, but @ubuntu as well! And it's not strictly speaking the products that you can buy, but also the history of platforms that have been tested for Linux.
It's a super valuable official resource for ThinkPad fans, basically lol

The Hush Line Personal Server is for journalists and human rights defenders who need a dead-simple, self-hosted whistleblowing platform. Accessible as a Tor-only service, the Personal Server comes in a custom-designed case sealed with two uniquely numbered tamper-evident tags. USB and SSH are disabled, and all ports except power and Ethernet are sealed. Available this week at @defcon and online after that!

I've proposed a merge request to GNOME's likely new Video Player app codenamed Showtime. The feature? Toggling between video duration and time remaining by clicking the end timestamp. :)
It's the little things!
I think this might be my first contribution to a GNOME Python app. It was a bit of a trip coming from Vala and JavaScript land, but I _think_ I did okay for a first pass.

Horned Nudibanch. It is a sea slug! It has a translucent white body and bright orange-red frills along its side. The frills on its side are called cerrata. Cerrata contain stinging cells to protect the nudibranch from predators. It has two antennae-like horns on its head. These are called rhinosphores. The rhinosphores sense light, darkness, smells, and tidal currents. It has two mouth tentacles that are used for navigation and sensing prey. They are curled upwards like a mustache.

Ugh, so apparently Lunduke is back on the fediverse. That and the weirdo Ventoy commentors on Veronica Explains' latest video yesterday has got me thinking about the online Linux/FOSS community.
Outside the FOSS bubble there is almost zero discussion in leftist spaces about the issues of Free Software and open standards. You all know that outside of tech circles (and even within them to a certain extent) most people's perception of 'Linux users' are that we're a bunch of insufferable libertarian weirdos right?
Not surprising really, most of the Linux people on Youtube or any other mainstream social media are some flavour of right-wing or at-least problematic.
We kinda can't blame outsiders for thinking 'Linux people' are a bunch of weird 4chan-addled nerds who think in wojak, pepe and chad memes.

👋 I'm excited to finally say hello to all you amazing folks of the #Fediverse 🌐 with my #Introduction post! Calling the southeastern U.S. home, my life is a vibrant mix of #graphicdesign, #3dprinting, #3Dmodeling, and delving into the fascinating intricacies of technology. I'm in the thick of my graduate studies in #cybersecurity leadership, focusing on integrating cybersecurity with product management processes for more resilient software and services.
I passionately believe that breaking down the cybersecurity silo in organizations means leveraging #userexperience concepts, making cybersecurity practical and understandable for every role.
I'm a sponge for knowledge, and I'm building my tech understanding in #python, #networking, cloud, and machine learning concepts. I'll be the first to admit I have much to learn.
Reading is my haven 📖 - you'll find me lost in the spellbinding worlds of #NealStephenson, #WilliamGibson, the Dune series, and The Expanse 🚀. I also have a soft spot for #InfoSec books like 'The Cuckoo's Egg,' 'Spam Nation,' and 'Sandworm.' I'm always on the lookout for new recommendations! 📚
As an out #nonbinary individual, I'm committed to building inclusion around gender and feminist issues. I aim to help dismantle "male defaults" and foster more equitable work and community environments for a better future for everyone.
The camaraderie and shared learning in the #Fediverse echo the Linux User Groups and Hackerspaces culture I cherish. It's an absolute joy to be a part of a community that upholds these principles.
If you love dissecting the latest in #tech, exploring #opensource software, or immersing yourself in a gripping #scifi or #cybersecurity book, let's connect! Follow me and drop a comment about your favorite tech trend, current read, fediverse tip, or your efforts toward a more inclusive tech community. Can't wait to hear from you!
I'm eager to learn, share, and grow with you all.

4. Ethical oversight - could @DAIR help with this?

I'm not sure Esri's Network Analyst can generate bike travel-time isochrones based on custom street networks or not. Even so, I'm curious how many credits it would burn through to request 17,000 isochrones to be generated.
It may be a little slow to run this on my old laptop, but it's free! #opensource #valhalla #openstreetmap 🧵

I had an interesting conversation with some #Docker executives on Friday, in which they highlighted some changes to their terms of service / business model. TL;DR: enterprises are now expected to pay for a full Docker subscription for *any* access to any "Docker Platform" features, including Docker Hub, regardless of pull rate.
So, for example, if you're a company with > 250 employees or > $10M revenue, and you have a Linux box pulling one open source image a week from Docker Hub, you must buy a Docker subscription for that box. And any others.
Previously, their website verbiage was focused solely on usage of Docker Desktop by enterprises.
If you are an #OpenSource maintainer and you're publishing container images on Docker Hub, they are monetizing your images, and they're doing so via a flat monthly rate regardless of consumption level. (IMHO that rate is too high, but YMMV, I guess)
This is obviously their prerogative. Really my only request/suggestion to Open Source maintainers who publish container images would be to consider also publishing them on GitHub's container registry (aka GitHub Packages) or any other registry, rather than single-sourcing with Docker Hub.

I saw a lot of articles about “mandating open source in Switzerland.” This isn’t true. The actual requirement is that the source code must be available (with some exceptions) for software developed within the scope of administration. It's more akin to code escrow than true open source licensing.
Only the paragraph 2 opens the door to FOSS licensing but it also the open the door to non-free license. A list of FOSS licenses should have been mentioned clearly.

The company #Meta recently released #Llama 3.1, an #AI model they claim is "open source".
This is false. Llama 3.1 is NOT open source.
They released it under a license which under 1.b.iv. demands you agree to an "acceptable use policy" which basically forbids using it in any way they don't like. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/meta-llama/llama-models/main/models/llama3_1/LICENSE

Although I haven't used this poor abandoned blog much, it is not because I dislike the MicroBlog.pub software that I am using to self-host it. It actually helped me to learn about the IndieWeb.org and MicroPub.net communities, as well as practice work with the ActivityPub.rocks protocol (which is the engine of the #Fediverse).
Sadly, as I got excited about MicroBlog.pub, I realized that the creator had abandoned the project for more than a year. Issues, requests, and pull requests have piled up. The excitement of users faded away as I found forks close doors. But it is #opensource, right?
Yep!
Hence, I decided to contact some other users and start a collective effort to keep this cool project alive. Here is where it will live: https://github.com/microblog-pub
Let us hope I will be able to put together a good crew. 🤞

Absolutely great milestone in #Switzerland for #opensource and #public sector.

Marketplaces do not self-correct. Ecosystems do.
A marketplace is not an ecosystem. It is merely a single organism, a megafauna, whose sole purpose is to consume and grow as much as possible.
An ecosystem on the other hand has no inherent growth-imperative. The primary objective of an ecosystem is equilibrium; circular exchange of energy. A secondary objective is emergent diversity for the sake of adaptability & robustness.
Make ecosystems, not marketplaces 🌱

This is a #diy #RaspberryPi #pico #openhardware #opensource device I created for making your own #pc #gaming controllers. You can place buttons, joysticks, potentiometers, and rotary encoders onto a grid, and then assign them gamepad or keyboard functions. It was designed for starship bridge simulation games (e.g. EmptyEpsilon, Space Nerds in Space) to create custom controls, but it is a general joystick/gamepad substitute.

How do other #opensource maintainers deal with LLM-generated contributions? I'm starting to see chatgpt-generated pull requests on the projects I maintain and I wonder how others handle them.
I'm tempted to take a strong anti-LLM stance, but at the same time I know that some people (especially beginners) might use LLM to help them write code, and I don't want to scare away newcomers.
Do you know of any projects that have published some policies regarding this?

#HowToThing #Epilogue #LongRead: After 66 days of addressing 30 wildly varied use cases and building ~20 new example projects of varying complexity to illustrate how #ThingUmbrella libraries can be used & combined, I'm taking a break to concentrate on other important thi.ngs...
With this overall selection I tried shining a light on common architectural patterns, but also some underexposed, yet interesting niche topics. Since there were many different techniques involved, it's natural not everything resonated with everyone. That's fine! Though, my hope always is that readers take an interest in a wide range of topics, and so many of these new examples were purposefully multi-faceted and hopefully provided insights for at least some parts, plus (in)directly communicated a core essence of the larger project:
Only individual packages (or small clusters) are designed & optimized for a set of particular use cases. At large, though, thi.ng explicitly does NOT offer any such guidance or even opinion. All I can offer are possibilities, nudges and cross-references, how these constructs & techniques can be (and have been) useful and/or the theory underpinning them. For some topics, thi.ng libs provide multiple approaches to achieve certain goals. This again is by design (not lack of it!) and stems from hard-learned experience, showing that many (esp. larger) projects highly benefit from more nuanced (sometimes conflicting approaches) compared to popular defacto "catch-all" framework solutions. To avid users (incl. myself) this approach has become a somewhat unique offering and advantage, yet in itself seems to be the hardest and most confusing aspect of the entire project to communicate to newcomers.
So seeing this list of new projects together, to me really is a celebration (and confirmation/testament) of the overall #BottomUpDesign #ThingUmbrella approach (which I've been building on since ~2006): From the wide spectrum/flexibility of use cases, the expressiveness, concision, the data-first approach, the undogmatic mix of complementary paradigms, the separation of concerns, no hidden magic state, only minimal build tooling requirements (a bundler is optional, but recommended for tree shaking, no more) — these are all aspects I think are key to building better (incl. more maintainable & reason-able) software. IMO they are worth embracing & exposing more people to and this is what I've partially attempted to do with this series of posts...

A week ago was the 1st anniversary of this solo instance & more generally of my fulltime move to Mastodon. A good time for a more detailed intro, partially intended as CV thread (pinned to my profile) which I will add to over time (also to compensate the ongoing lack of a proper website)... Always open to consulting offers, commissions and/or suitable remote positions...
Hi, I'm Karsten 👋 — indy software engineer, researcher, #OpenSource author of hundreds of projects (since ~1999), computational/generative artist/designer, landscape photographer, lecturer, outdoor enthusiast, on the ND spectrum. Main interest in transdisplinary research, tool making, exploring techniques, projects & roles amplifying the creative, educational, expressive and inspirational potential of (personal) computation, code as material, combining this with generative techniques of all forms (quite different to what is now called and implied by "generative AI").
Much of my own practice & philosophy is about #BottomUpDesign, interconnectedness, simplicity and composability as key enablers of emergent effects (also in terms of workflow & tool/system design). Been adopting a round-robin approach to cross-pollinate my work & learning, spending periods going deep into various fields to build up and combine experience in (A-Z order): API design, audio/DSP, baremetal (mainly STM32), computer vision/image processing, compiler/DSL/VM impl, databases/linked data/query engines, data structures impl, dataviz, fabrication (3DP, CNC, knit, lasercut), file formats & protocols (as connective tissue), "fullstack" webdev (front/back/AWS), generative & evolutionary algorithms/art/design/aesthetics/music, geometry/graphics, parsers, renderers, simulation (agents/CFD/particles/physics), shaders, typography, UI/UX/IxD...
Since 2018 my main endeavor has been https://thi.ng/umbrella, a "jurassic" (as it's been called) monorepo of ~185 code libraries, addressing many of the above topics (plus ~150 examples to illustrate usage). More generally, for the past decade my OSS work has been focused on #TypeScript, #C, #Zig, #WebAssembly, #Clojure, #ClojureScript, #GLSL, #OpenCL, #Forth, #Houdini/#VEX. Earlier on, mainly Java (~15 years, since 1996).
Formative years in the deep end of the #Atari 8bit demoscene (Chip Special Software) & game dev (eg. The Brundles, 1993), B&W dark room lab (since age 10), music production/studio (from 1993-2003), studied media informatics, moved to London initially as web dev, game dev (Shockwave 3D, ActionScript), interaction designer, information architect. Branched out, more varied clients/roles/community for my growing collection of computational design tools, which I've been continously expanding/updating for the past 20+ years, and which have been the backbone of 99% of my work since ~2006 (and which helped countless artists/designers/students/studios/startups). Creator of thi.ng (since 2011), toxiclibs (2006-2013), both large-scale, multi-faceted library collections. Early contributor to Processing (2003-2005, pieces of core graphics API).
Worked on dozens of interactive installations/exhibitions, public spaces & mediafacades (own projects and many collabs, several award winning), large-scale print on-demand projects (>250k unique outputs), was instrumental in creating some of the first generative brand identity systems (incl. cloud infrastructure & asset management pipelines), collaborated with architects, artists, agencies, hardware engineers, had my work shown at major galleries/museums worldwide, taught 60+ workshops at universities, institutions and companies (mainly in EMEA). Was algorithm design lead at Nike's research group for 5 years, working on novel internal design tools, workflows, methods of make, product design (footwear & apparel) and team training. After 23 years in London, my family decided on a lifestyle change and so currently based in the beautiful Allgäu region in Southern Germany.

GenAI datasets not being open source by law just boggles my mind.
We’re all in agreement that any kind of processed food item you buy needs to list every single one of its ingredients down to the last spice and preservative, for the sake of our dietary health and bodily autonomy.
Yet somehow the cloud factories churning out hyper processed AI slop served up as brain-food are under no obligation to say what’s in their tin cans!?

https://www.crunchbangplusplus.org/
Je n'étais pas bien grand, et alors que je l'utilisais au quotidien, j'installais CrunchBang sur une vieille machine de bureau écran IBM 13', démontais Slim, fixais l'IP, accordais accès à ses port 80 et 443, devenais serveur réseau chez moi en pleine conscience de ce que je faisais.
"Pleine conscience" veut dire: en ayant déjà conscience de ce que je partageais déjà depuis ma machine perso avec les gafams; en protégeant mes visiteurs, ne les exposant pas, ni aux gafams -point d'honneur ! - ni à personne d'autre; suant déjà sang et eau par litres par jours et par avance des futurs mises à jour, migrations, ne sachant encore pas trop comment protéger tout ça en cas d'attaque, me disant que bah tant pis je demanderais aux copains le cas échéant.
Bien sûr que j'avais peur !
Fort heureusement - ou pas ! - je n'ai encore jamais eu à faire face à de grosses attaques réussies. Même si j'ai déjà dû passer des nuits à comprendre pourquoi je n'avais plus d'espace, être obligé de rm des Go de logs de connexion Apache, en éplucher mais pfff! sans vraiment comprendre quelque chose d'autre qu'il n'y avait rien à comprendre lorsque la demande de connexion venait d'une cam IP capable de te montrer un bébé en train de dormir, un nid de cigogne ou une stabu paysanne quelconque.
Après c'est beaucoup à raconter, la lightweight vms Dockers totalement proprio, les machines dispo vérolées, les clouds proprios aussi, les Kubernetes, Ansible, les virtualhosts, les #virtualsdatas, les #VirtualFoutageDeGueule...
La seule chose qui reste est l' #OpenSource et surtout: le courage qu'il reste au gens pour, d'abord le délivrer; rien que ça déjà c'est énoOÔÔOorme merci; ensuite le déployer; mais là c'est nous toutes et tous qui sommes et devons rester acteurs de nos vies et de celles sur la Terre.

In these three years, the project gained many contributors, and thanks to its low entry level. We’ve managed to do quite a lot in that time.
This is all possible thanks to the open-source nature of the project, and it’s fantastic community. ❄️

In this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News video, we have:
- #Fedora 42 getting a proposal for telemetry (opt-in, fortunately)
- Deepin adding #AI features to their future release, and most of it is running locally
- #Google making changes to #ChromeOS, which might spell the end of ChromeOS Flex
And a lot more as well, including some good progress on x86 emulation on ARM:
NeoDB Open Source Software
@neodb@mastodon.online
Hello, Fediverse!
We just shipped NeoDB 0.10 , with revamped i18n support and other features. A dedicated project site is also up: https://neodb.net
If you haven't heard about #NeoDB , it's basically Goodreads+ Letterboxd + RateYourMusic + Podchaser, all in one place, #opensource, powered up with #ActivityPub, plus microblogging, like #Mastodon and its apps.
Love to hear your thoughts, and if you find this project useful, or think someone else may think so, please help boost!

Time for my #introduction. I've been in #UXDesign for 40 years, working at Apple in the 80s, Symbian, Google, and frogdesign.
I'm convinced we're stuck in our #UX ways, not seeing desktop, mobile, or ML for what they could be.
#OpenSource is a profoundly positive force, if we could just figure out how to work together on #UXDesign problems.
I'm semi-retired, looking for ways to push things forward as well as give back.

Neue Community auf feddit.org: FOSS - Deutschsprachige Community zum Austausch über Freie Software 💻
Da wohl wirklich nur noch wenig Hoffnung besteht für einen problemlosen Weiterbetrieb von feddit.de, gibt es für deutschsprachige Diskussionen und Nachrichten zu #FOSS -Themen nun diese neue Community auf feddit.org:
👉 feddit.org/c/foss_de
Inhaltlich kann es um Alles rund um #FOSS #FLOSS #OpenSource #FreieSoftware gehen, was Euch interessiert - seien es bestimmte Anwendungen, neue Releases, Fragen, Tipps und Empfehlungen oder auch gesellschaftliche Initiativen wie #PublicMoneyPublicCode und vieles mehr.
Es ist eine Lemmy -Community auf #fedditOrg. Ihr könnt die Community auch von #Mastodon , #Friendica #Akkoma etc. aus abonnieren. Und ihr könnt damit auch ohne Lemmy-Account Beiträge darin erstellen, indem Ihr den Community-Account [ät]foss_de@feddit.org taggt. Ausführlicher hier.
Wenn Ihr auf Lemmy aktiv seid, könnt ihr Euch gerne auch noch als Co-Mods melden.
Es gibt schon lange eine sehr große und aktive englischsprachige Opensource-Community opensource@lemmy.ml , aber um sich zu deutschsprachigen News auszutauschen oder Fragen auf deutsch zu stellen und zu diskutieren, soll diese Community als Ergänzung dienen.
Die bisherigen Beiträge der Feddit.de-Community sind u.a. hier zu sehen.
Damit aber erst einmal: 🧡lich willkommen in der neuen Community @foss_de ! Ich bin gespannt auf Eure Beiträge.

Remember to share positive posts, memes, etc. about open source things you use and like. A simple “I like this” or “thanks for working on this” can go a long way!
Happy people carry on using things quietly while negativity gets shared, memed, and shoved in front of folks who work on your favorite projects. One negative comment too often outweighs ten positive ones, because human brains are dumb.
Spread positivity, save someone from burnout.

Early video today, on a less positive topic than usual: a bunch of #Linux and #OpenSource projects regularly are criticized online, and I wanted to explore the reasons behind a few of them.

🌟 Introducing BSD.cafe 🌟
Excited to present the first building block of the BSD Cafe project! When I registered this domain months ago, I envisioned a themed bar where we can casually chat about *BSD systems, Linux, and Open-Source technology among friends, acquaintances, and patrons. But like any bar, discussions can cover a wide range of topics while respecting everyone.
BSD.cafe will be a hub for various tools and services, powered by *BSD.
The first brick is a new Mastodon instance, a gateway to the Fediverse. Registration is open, and the server will be moderated under clear guidelines promoting good behavior and zero tolerance for hate towards anyone. Inclusivity, respect, and constructive dialogue are the key values of this new instance.
The main server is currently hosted in Finland on a small VM, based on #FreeBSD. Services are divided into VNET jails, connected in a LAN via a local bridge. A VPN system is also present and have been able to move individual jails to different, more powerful, machines.
Multimedia data and cache are hosted on another physical server (FreeBSD, within a jail), with Cloudflare in front. The aim is to cache and geodistribute data, reducing network traffic on the main VPS.
Reverse proxy (frontend), mail server, media server, and the instance itself are reachable via #ipv6.
The instance started empty. No unnecessary content was pre-loaded; I want it to grow organically based on users' interests and following. There won't be any preemptive blocks at this stage. Users are encouraged to promptly report anything they find worth flagging.
Join us at https://mastodon.bsd.cafe to build a constructive and inclusive community—a safe and relaxing space for everyone.
Our wiki, located at https://wiki.bsd.cafe, features essential links and articles related to the BSD world. It provides an overview of the tools, services, rules, uptime, and more information about the BSD Cafe Services.
A Matrix server, a Miniflux RSS Reader, the Wiki itself, and the BlendIT Lemmy instance are all part of the BSD Cafe services, with more to come.

**BSD Mail Project Update!**
Hello everyone! I wanted to share some exciting updates about the development of BSD Mail, our privacy-focused email service designed with robustness, security, and transparency in mind. Here’s a deep dive into the technical choices I've made, focusing on my use of open source solutions and open protocols:
🌍 **Servers & Location**
- We're running on two physical servers:
- One hosted by OVH in France
- Another by Hetzner in Germany
- Both servers operate on FreeBSD with NVMe drives in a ZFS mirror configuration for speed and data integrity.
🔒 **Virtualization & Security**
- We utilize jails on both servers to ensure isolated environments for different services, managed via BastilleBSD. On one server, jails are set up directly on the hardware, whereas the other server employs nested jails.
- Each server hosts a bhyve VM running OpenBSD with OpenSMTPD for handling SMTP duties securely.
🔗 **Networking**
- A Wireguard setup connects the two servers, facilitating routing capabilities so that jails and VMs can communicate seamlessly, supporting both IPv4 and IPv6.
📧 **Email Services**
- **Dovecot** is configured for maildir replication across the servers using Dovecot sync, ensuring email availability and redundancy.
- **Rspamd** instances are tied to local KeyDB jails, set up in master-master replication for consistent and reliable spam detection and greylisting.
- **ClamAV** runs in corresponding jails for virus scanning, maintaining a high level of security.
- **SOGo** provides a web interface for email management, connected to MySQL databases in master-master replication to handle sessions and authentication smoothly.
💾 **Data Management**
- Email data is stored on separate, encrypted ZFS datasets to secure emails at rest.
- MySQL databases are used for storing credentials and managing sessions for SOGo, also in a master-master replication setup. Importantly, all passwords are securely hashed using bcrypt, ensuring they are salted and safe.
🔎 **Monitoring & Reliability**
- Our DNS is managed through BunnyNet, which continuously monitors our server status. Should one server—or a specific service—become unavailable, DNS configurations are dynamically adjusted to avoid directing users to the affected IP until full service is restored.
🌐 **Commitment to Open Source and Open Protocols**
- Every component of BSD Mail is built exclusively using open source software and open protocols. This commitment is crucial for ensuring data freedom and the reliability of the solutions we use.
This setup not only emphasizes our commitment to privacy and security but also our dedication to maintaining an open and transparent platform.
We're excited to bring you a service where your privacy, data integrity, and freedom are prioritized. Stay tuned for more updates!

In this one, we have #Mozilla's CPO suing them for discrimination (not a good look for Mozilla if true), #Nvidia drivers now supporting Explicit Sync and fixing #Wayland problems, we have another date for the #Cosmic alpha, and some solid performance boosts coming for Intel CPUs!

I presented [[Open Source Beyond Licensing - The Evolution Ahead]] yesterday. I did a quick survey tour of some interesting licenses I like sharing, and in other ways promoted a kind of back to basics: open source is working together.

The more I work on teams, #opensource and otherwise, the more convinced I am that leadership and management are two different roles.
Setting the direction should be done by domain experts, managing issues and timelines and building consensus should be done by highly organized supports. Blending the two leads to overload and risks putting people who lack one of these skill sets in charge.
Anyone have links to good thinking along these lines?
#anarchism #coop maybe?

Both apache.org and eclipse.org are migrating their projects over to github. It's per-project and up to each subproject, as far as I can see, but the writing is on the wall: No own repos, issue tracking, sometimes even forums move over - and unlike repos, all these other bits don't have simple download facilities in case you want to move away.
Sure, these two orgs always were on the more corporate side of #opensource, but does it sound like a bad idea to anybody else to just hand the keys to your kingdom to a single dominant provider?

Re-doing my #introduction now since I'm trying to be here a bit more ...
G'day I'm Nick, from the NE suburbs of #Melbourne , Australia.
I work as an #opensource #developer (mostly #python) doing remote work for various clients, and I'm also interested in #retrocomputing or, as I like to call it, computers back when I was a kid.
I'm into #cycling (slowly) and working up to doing some #cycletouring miles around Victoria this summer, and eventually elsewhere in the world.
I'm into #music generally and I'm (also slowly) learning to play #ukulele and learning a bit of music theory along the way.
I'm also doing some set design & construction for a #musicaltheatre group my daughters & their friends all seem to be in!
I'll probably be posting about those things more than work, tbqh. Older stuff, mostly tech-related, is on my blog at https://nick.zoic.org/

This has been (and still is) a very special week. The past 7 days have been emotionally (and, to a lesser extent, work-wise) very challenging. And even when I'm tired, I realize that, in my opinion, I have the best job in the world. Because working with open-source tools provides everyone with the same opportunities, in the most open and free manner possible. Few fields offer the same conditions, and I feel like I belong to a great group, a group of passionate and constructive people, without any distinctions of any kind.

The only thig that prevents me from release my dynDNS service for bootstrapping nodes is that i send a maximum response of 6437 bytes via UDP back and i think that this is a serious problem for reflection attacks.
I rate limiters but there is a way around it if you attack an entire network and not just single IPs, which means that my global limit of 3000 req/min still is enough to create 0.16 Gbit/s traffic.
Has anyone an idea how to prevent this without auth?

We have an announcement to make!
Pixelix, the third party client for Pixelfed is open source now!✨
Pixelix is a feature-rich Pixelfed client for Android. DMs, Collections, custom app icons and home screen widgets to name a few. The app is developed natively using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, which ensures excellent performance.🚀
Pixelix will still be available for 2€ on Google Play Store, but now you also have the ability to compile the project yourself if you want to.
We believe that it is justified that good software costs something and there has to be a way to earn some money from software that is open source.
So if you want to support us please give Pixelix a try and also review it on Google Play Store.⭐

And app developers with over 700M monthly users must request a special license from Meta."

Spectra for Prime Video is now OPEN SOURCE. I look forward to seeing this project grow to a degree that I could not make happen on my own!
🚀 Boosts Appreciated! 😃
For those who are unaware: Spectra is an app for Apple Vision Pro that allows you to watch Amazon Prime Video content. While the iPadOS app is available on #visionos, many have said it is hard to use. Spectra aims to solve that by wrapping the website in a native app using #swift and #swiftui.
As this is the first real #opensource project I’ve made, I’ve done some research and think I have setup this repository correctly. But I am open to suggestions on what things I need to look out for and what I should consider enabling or disabling to prevent unwanted things from happening.

So, here goes. I'm Pete. Firmly in #GenX. I live just north of #Toronto, #Ontario, #Canada.
While I do currently have an iPhone (a convert from Android last year), I'm very much a #Linux and #OpenSource advocate.
Sports aren't my thing, but I do like to watch the #TorontoBlueJays play, on TV and at Rogers Centre.

Fossery Tech 
@fosserytech@social.linux.pizza
A short introduction:
I'm an introvert, antisocial tech guy 😅
I like to use FOSS software wherever possible. My family considers me a tech nerd, I consider myself a tech noob.
Hobbies: web dev (FosseryWeb), content creation (Odysee and PeerTube), running, kayaking, listening to music (mainly electro), watching tech, gameplay and Backrooms videos.
Age: twenties
Languages: 🇭🇺 (native) / 🇬🇧 (took language exam but I feel like I still suck at it sometimes lol)
LINUX JOURNEY
I'm a seasoned distrohopper, started on Linux Mint, went to Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Manjaro, Garuda, Zorin OS, Fedora, LMDE and finally Debian. Also had/have Nobara and PeppermintOS as secondary systems.
As for DE, GNOME is my (almost) all-time favorite, tried out Xfce, KDE and Cinnamon, but always returned to GNOME because it's the most comfortable to me (might also try out COSMIC)
On mobile (PinePhone) I went from Manjaro Plasma to Arch Plasma/Phosh, and now I'm on posmarketOS Phosh
MY STANCE ON PRIVACY
I care about my privacy, although I don't have the highest threat model, like to keep balance between privacy and convenience (although convenience is a bit of a subjective thing, some might consider right clicking to copy username then password from KeePassXC inconvenient, I don't lol).
PROGRAMS I USE
Favorite programs: LibreWolf, OBS, Krita, Kdenlive, KeePassXC, IPlan, FreeTube, NewsFlash, Haruna
Other programs I use: Brave (for websites that don't work in Firefox based browser - shame on those web devs - btw I provide support for all major browser engines on FosseryWeb), Parabolic, Virt-manager, GNOME Boxes, VSCodium, Speech Note (doesn't look the best on GNOME but it's by far the best option for local TTS on Linux currently), Flatseal, Warehouse, Portmaster, Authenticator (the one from Bilal Elmoussaoui), Pomodoro, Alpaca (not a big fan of AI, but sometimes it's useful to have an Ollama frontend)
On mobile: Amberol, Exercise Timer, Angelfish

How do open source projects get things done? How do they retain contributors, attract users, and make technical decisions? All this (and more!) falls under the auspice of "governance". Shauna Gordon-McKeon explores the power and potential in being thoughtful your project's governance, and how expanding your view of what governance entails can create a virtuous cycle.

Last week, I presented the work I did with prof. Kuldeep Meel and prof. Arunabha Sen at IJCAI 2023.
We showed the benefits of reducing a problem to a computationally harder problem (yes, you read that right!), by demonstrating how it allows us to solve much larger problem instances.
It was so much fun to finally share this work with so many fantastic researchers at IJCAI! Thank you to all organisers for making this conference possible. I'm also super grateful to the reviewers who gave us great feedback!
Please find our paper, slides, poster, a short video, and our open source tool, gismo, here: www.annalatour.nl/publication/2023-08-01-Solving-the-Identifying-Code-Set-Problem-with-Grouped-Independent-Support

@js@ap.nil.im
I guess since I moved to my own instance now, I need to do a new #introduction.
Hi, I'm js and on the Fediverse since 2018. I'm interested in #ObjectiveC, writing #assembly code (in whatever I can get my hands on, from x86_64 to PA-RISC to SPARC64 to IA64 etc.) and any kind of lowlevel hackery, #RetroComputing, #OpenSource in general and decentralization (such as @matrix or the #Fediverse). I'm also into #metal and #chiptunes.
A few projects I am involved in (non-exclusive):
• I created @objfw, a portable Objective-C framework and runtime. Go check it out if you like C and object oriented programming on basically any 32 bit or more platform!
• I'm a @fedora developer.
• I'm a @netbsd developer, where I mostly work on #pkgsrc.
• I'm also a MorphOS developer, where the goal is to switch MorphOS's ObjC support to @objfw.
• I used to be a @haiku developer. Technically still am, but am less active these days due to lack of time.
Some of the retro computers I have and tinker with are (non-exclusive list):
• #Amiga 4000, 1200 & 600
• Naturetech GENIALstation 737S (400 MHz #SPARC64 laptop!)
• Sun Fire T5120
• #NeXTstation Color
• HP Integrity rx1620 (1U Dual CPU Itanium server)
• A Duron 750 with a {Voodoo 2 | #Voodoo 3 3500 | S3 Savage 4 | ATI Rage Pro} (I switch between those depending on what I want to do, as I like playing with and writing code for those old proprietary 3D APIs)
I also have some old game consoles and am interested in running homebrew on them (again non-exclusive):
• Super #Nintendo
• #Gameboy
• Nintendo #3DS
• Nintendo #Wii
• Nintendo Wii U (can't believe that's retro already!)
• Sega #Dreamcast (with hard drive mod, so it can run NetBSD)
I will probably update this post over time. Either by editing, or by posting a new one and then pinning the new one.

I'm here for more than a year now, and I still owe you a proper #introduction.
Hi, I'm Richard! I started #programming computers when I was about 9 years old. My first computer was a ZX81 (figure out how old I am now). #OpenSource and software development has always been my passion. My favorite programming languages are #Java, #Python, and #MC68000 #Assembler. 😁
If you follow me, you'll mainly read a lot of #RetroComputer stuff, especially about refurbishing and programming #Amiga, #C64 and #Sinclair machines. I also like #DIY and #3Dprinting. My other, much too much neglected interests are #photography, #cooking and #Japan.
I live in Germany. I post in English and German, and try my best to tag the language of my posts correctly. (You can filter languages on Mastodon!)
Nice to meet you! 😀

@plexus@toot.cat
Maybe I should finally do an #introduction 🤔😅
Hi my name is Arne, I'm a programmer with an eclectic set of interests. I'm mainly active in the #clojure community, and before that in #ruby.
I used to make screencasts on https://lambdaisland.com (all free to watch now). Nowadays I run a Clojure-focused consultancy and agency, https://gaiwan.co .
I do a lot of #opensource , most notable the Kaocha test runner, but also several dozen other projects that people use in production every day. Much of this we now maintain with the Gaiwan team.
I grew up with the web and with open source, my first browser was Netscape 1.0, my first Linux was Red Hat 5. Just to say that I've been around for a bit. I do a lot of different programming but I'm a #webdev at heart. I care about an open web based on open standards.
I've done a lot of #traveling, lived in five countries, and speak five #languages. Now I'm back in my native #Belgium. Oh and I love #tea (that's an understatement). Nice to meet you!

I'm interested in #OpenSource, #AI, #Law, #InternationalLaw, #LaborLaw, #HumanRights, #EU, #Nature, #Running (but I just started :P), #Mountains ...
My goal for this year: Learn to code in Python</>
Do you have any suggestions about Python (or coding in general), AI, Human Rights, an interesting open-source app, or any account to follow in the Fediverse? Let me know!
Cheers! ✌️

Wpis powitalny
Dzień dobry, cześć i czołem!
Jestem Michał i przede wszystkim zajmuję się #Gentoo. Od jakiegoś czasu piszę na Mastodonie w obcym języku (https://fosstodon.org/@mgorny). W związku z tym, że coraz więcej z moich wpisów dotyczy polskiej rzeczywistości, zdecydowałem, że czas najwyższy sklonować się i pisać też po polsku. Ogólna idea jest taka, że na obydwu kontach będę pisał to samo, a czy wystarczy mi cierpliwości — przekonamy się.
Podstawowe tematy: codzienne rozterki twórcy #OpenSource, #kolej, życie z kotami i takie tam.

I moved servers, so here's an #Introduction:
I'm a #Python / #Java #SoftwareEngineer by day, but after that I interact with a lot of #FOSS and other #OpenSource projects.
I maintain and own #Select2, the #JavaScript library that I joke is keeping #jQuery alive. I'm also a maintainer on #DjangoRestFramework and #Jinja2 but I'll admit I do less with them now that I don't use #Django for work.
I have a lot of #HomeAutomation projects that make heavy use of #HomeAssistant (#ESPHome, #ZigBee).

I've long been critical of social media, corporate heavy handed oversight and centralized power and influence. With FB and Instagram randomly blocking and unblocking my access due to their ineptitude (as I don't post anything there so shouldn't get blocked), I decided I can't rely on their convenient services even for keeping in touch. Back to email (+PGP), phone calls, open web and federated services (ie. all of the above). #hello #federated #freedom #opensource

Update. Turns out that John #Deere has been using open code under the #GPL w/o living up to the license. The Software Freedom Conservancy (@conservancy) is calling on it to comply — which would greatly enhance #farmers' #RightToRepair.
https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2023/mar/16/john-deere-gpl-violations/
"We…publicly call on John Deere to immediately resolve all of its outstanding GPL violations…by providing complete source code…that the GPL & other copyleft licenses require, to the farmers & others who are entitled to it."

#genuary2023 Black & White. Some WIP snapshots of last year's C-SCAPE co-evolving 1D #CellularAutomata #GenerativeArt project...
Realtime versions:
https://art.thi.ng/c-scape
Co-evolving here means that there're multiple CAs sharing the same environment, each with a different neighborhood (shape & size), different rules and its own moving fuzzy mask/transition zone. Neighborhoods can also have a temporal dimension and as such are technically 1.5D or 2D and able to look up cell states from the (near) past. Where CAs overlap spatially, hybrid forms are emerging and these interactions can lead to entirely new outcomes...
The #OpenSource library which evolved from this project:
https://thi.ng/cellular
ALT text details
Multiple 1D cellular automata interacting with each other. Some of the automata (LHS) produce architectural structures, whereas the ones on the right produce more "organic", branching forms.... There's a smooth transition & mix of patterns in the interaction zone...
ALT text details
Multiple 1D cellular automata interacting with each other. Again various different rules, transition zones and emerging structures. The interactions here create quite noisy, only short-lived micro patterns...

Introduction time. Honestly, writing an #introduction has been a mental block and a stressor, keeping me from posting. Let's get it out of the way <3
I hate sounding like an advert for myself, but here's what you can expect:
Commentary on #programming, #opensource, #cloud, #cooking, #nature, #animals, #roleplaying, #fitness, #gaming and #gamedev, and occasionally #bouldering and #zen practice.
I try to stay positive, and and abstain from complaining and rage posting. I do fail in that, a lot.

I just made my wave function collapse project #OpenSource in #rustlang at https://github.com/AustinHellerRepo/WaveFunctionCollapse.
It features the ability to setup a graph of nodes, specify which node states are permitted given the current state of a node, and two different collapse algorithms depending upon your need.
This image shows how it can be used to generate landscape from the included #rust example. There are three other examples showing how it would be used in common scenarios. Any and all feedback is welcome.

First, a little trivia: "Fatiando a Terra" is Portuguese for "Slicing the Earth", a reference to the project's Brazilian 🇧🇷 roots and ambitious goals to model the entire planet.
for tool in fatiando:

Fatiando provides Python libraries for data processing, modeling, and inversion across the Geosciences. It is built by a community of geoscientists and software developers with a passion for well-designed tools and helping our peers. All of our code is free and open-source, distributed under the permissive BSD 3-clause license. Below it, there are the logos of our main Python tools: Verde, Pooch, Harmonica, Boule, and Ensaio.

Hi there! I'm Matt. This is my #introduction.
I have been in #SoftwareDevelopment since 2001 and spent most of my career working with #PHP and #JavaScript.
I also dabble with languages like #Lisp and aspire to learn more about #FunctionalProgramming.
I love #OpenSource, #OpenStandards, and #ComputerScience.
When not coding, I enjoy reading (#SciFi / #SFF in particular), writing, singing / #karaoke, and story- and strategy-focused #gaming.

#introduction Hi, I am the kind of person who cannot really complete the sentence "Hi, I am..." But, I have:
background in #mathematics , interest in #opensource , some experience working in quantitative finance (as a quant) and at a large software corporation as a "software engineer". My main hobby is #ballroom #dance , but I also like #biking and #volleyball .
Oh, and I run #gentoo by the way.

@mainframed767@infosec.exchange
Hi all, I've read its good etiquette to make an about me post. I've been a tinkerer of things for a long while, been a cybersercurity enthusiast since my teens where I was having fun on lots of BBS' and Datapac.
I'm a big believer in #opensource, FOSS and fostering communities. I've been messing with Linux since the 90s. Huge fan of the movie Hackers.
Today I hack #gibsons for a living! I focus a lot of my work on making tools and giving talks on hacking and pentesting IBM z/OS mainframes. I've published updates for metasploit and #Nmap adding support for z/OS. I also have many more tools on my github.
In my spare time I also maintain my own mainframe distro MVS/CE which I use to teach workshops about mainframe buffer overflows and hacking CICS applications.
I'm also a huge fan of #retrogaming and retrocomputing especially retro hacks.

ronin-rb
@ronin_rb@infosec.exchange
Introduction time. Ronin is a Free and Open Source Ruby Toolkit for Security Research and Development. Ronin contains many different CLI commands and Ruby libraries for a variety of security tasks, such as encoding/decoding data, filter IPs/hosts/URLs, querying ASNs, querying DNS, HTTP, scanning for web vulnerabilities, spidering websites, install 3rd party repositories of exploits and/or payloads, run exploits, write new exploits, managing local databases, fuzzing data, and much more.
Ronin is primarily written in Ruby, but unlike other Ruby security tools/frameworks you may have seen, ronin-rb has extremely high standards for code quality; aiming for >90% test coverage to ensure bug-free code and >80% API documentation coverage. The project was initially started back in 2007 and migrated to GitHub in 2010, before all other security projects. Once again ronin-rb is leading the way by taking a chance on a new platform, Mastodon.
If any of this interests you, checkout our Website, GitHub organization, or join our Discord server:

Hey! I guess we never did a proper #introduction
We're Linux User Space. We do #history! History of #Linux distributions, #foss apps, and apps that might just be #opensource
Sometimes we dabble in current events and maybe tell a nerdy joke or two. Don't expect them to be funny, though.
Audio-only and video. Whichever you prefer.

@projectgus@aus.social
Hi everyone! #introductions
Finally got around to moving to this lovely instance from "the big one"...
I spend a lot of my time (work and free time) doing computer adjacent things: especially embedded systems programming, #electronics, and #opensource. Long-time #emacs tragic. I plan to mostly but not exclusively post technical things.
Live on Djaara Country (near Castlemaine in Central Victoria).
Currently somewhat obsessed with Electric Vehicles and EV conversions.
As well as English (well, "Australian"), I speak rusty Bahasa Indonesia and read Chinese quite poorly.
