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

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

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

In my mind, it would:

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

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

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

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

The contribution includes:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

🌸 Floral Sample Toolkit is underway, and I'm almost at 10 algorithms in there. Will be using this in my next track, and will make the repo public at the same time!

As you can see, the "Trace Console" logs each step you take, and then exports that along with the final WAV. That way you can do destructive editing, but still share the steps in an open-source sense 😀

안내

이 문서는 기본적으로 오픈 소스 컨트리뷰션 아카데미 참여형 프로그램을 진행하게 된 멘티들을 위한 것입니다만, Fedify 프로젝트에 기여하고 싶은 분들이라면 얼마든지 활용하셔도 좋습니다.

안녕하세요. 오픈 소스 컨트리뷰션 아카데미 참여형 프로그램에서 Fedify 프로젝트를 함께 할 멘토 홍민희입니다.

Fedify 프로젝트에 참여하시게 된 것을 진심으로 환영합니다. 본 문서에서는 여러분이 앞으로 Fedify 프로젝트에 기여하기 위해서 알고 준비해야 하는 것들을 정리했습니다. 조금 긴 내용이 될 수도 있지만, 차근차근 읽어보시고 따라해야 할 과제는 따라해 주시기 바랍니다. 본 문서에 나온 과제들은 본격적인 기여를 위해 반드시 선행되어야 합니다.

소통 채널

중요

OSSCA 자체 Discord 서버에도 초대되셨을 것입니다만, 그곳에서는 행사에 관한 이야기만 주로 하게 될 겁니다. 실제 기여와 개발에 관련된 이야기는 지금부터 설명할 Fedify 프로젝트의 Discord 서버에서 이뤄지게 됩니다.

가장 먼저 해야 할 것은 Fedify 프로젝트의 Discord 서버에 입장하는 것입니다. 만약 아직 Discord 계정이 없다면 하나 만드세요. 꽤 많은 오픈 소스 프로젝트들이 Discord에서 소통을 합니다. Discord 계정을 만들어 두면 앞으로 다양한 오픈 소스 프로젝트에 기여할 때 쓸모가 많을 것입니다.

Fedify 프로젝트의 Discord 서버에 입장하면, 다음과 같은 질문이 뜹니다:

What language do you speak? どの言語を話しますか? 어떤 언어를 쓰시나요?

그러면 한국어를 포함해 자신이 이해할 수 있는 언어들을 선택하시면 됩니다. 그러면 여러 채널들이 보이게 되는데, 그 중에서 여러분이 주로 이용하게 될 채널은 #fedify-dev-ko 채널입니다.

본 문서를 읽고 따라하면서 중간에 어려움이 있거나 막히는 부분이 있으면 해당 채널에서 편하게 질문하시면 됩니다.

프로젝트 관련해서 궁금한 점은 사소한 것이라도 Discord 서버에서 질문 주세요. “시간이 날 때 천천히 해결해야지”보다는 일단 물어보는게 낫습니다. 특히 초반의 많은 문제는, 보통 질문을 많이 하면 빨리 해결됩니다. 시간을 정해두세요. 이를테면 30분으로 정했으면 30분 내로 해결이 안되면 일단 질문을 합시다.

과제

Discord 서버에 입장하신 뒤, #fedify-dev-ko 채널에서 간단히 자기 소개를 해 주세요. 본인의 이름과 GitHub 아이디를 꼭 알려주시기 바랍니다.

권고

원활하고 즉시적인 소통을 위해서는 모바일 앱으로 알림을 받을 수 있어야 합니다. 본인의 스마트폰에 Discord 앱을 설치하고 로그인한 뒤, 알림을 허용해 주세요. 랩톱 및 데스크톱 환경에서도 Discord 앱을 설치하고 항상 실행해 두실 것을 권합니다.

권고

가능하다면 Discord 계정의 아바타를 GitHub 계정의 프로필 사진과 통일해 주세요. 멘티가 워낙 많기 때문에 누가 누군지 기억하기 어렵기 때문입니다. 특히, 아무런 이미지도 설정해 두지 않은 분들은 아무 그림이라도 좋으니 시인성을 위해 설정을 부탁드립니다.

연합우주(fediverse)란?

안내

이미 연합우주나 ActivityPub에 대해 익숙하신 분들은 설명은 건너 뛰시고 이 섹션 마지막의 과제만 하셔도 괜찮습니다.

Fedify 프로젝트가 어떤 프로젝트인지 이해하기 위해서는, 우선 페디버스(fediverse), 즉 한국어로 연합우주에 대해 기본적인 이해를 갖출 필요가 있습니다.

종래의 중앙집권적인 SNS들은 크게 두 가지 특징이 있습니다. 첫째로, SNS에 올리는 사용자들의 모든 데이터를 특정 기업이 사유한다는 것입니다. 둘째로, 서로 다른 SNS끼리는 소통할 수 없다는 것입니다. 특히, 두번째 특징은 이메일을 생각해 보면 아주 자연스러운 것은 아니라는 것을 알 수 있습니다. 네이버 메일을 쓰는 사람이 Gmail을 쓰는 사람과 소통할 수 없을까요? 그렇지 않지요. 하지만 Instagram 사용자는 X (舊 Twitter) 사용자와 소통할 수 없습니다.

이러한 문제를 해결하고자 나온 대안 SNS들이 있습니다. Mastodon이나 Pixelfed 같은 것들이 그렇습니다. 그리고 이러한 SNS들은 누구라도 자신의 서버에 설치가 가능합니다. 실제로 홈 서버에서 돌아가는 Mastodon 서버도 꽤 많습니다. 물론, 직접 서버를 운영하고 싶지 않은 대부분의 사람들에게는 대형 서버라는 선택지도 있습니다. 이를테면, Mastodon 서버 중에서 가장 사용자가 많은 서버인 mastodon.social은 Mastodon 개발 팀이 직접 운영하는 서버입니다.

하지만 이런 의문이 드실 수 있습니다. 자신의 홈 서버에 Mastodon을 설치해봤자 혼자 쓰는 일기장이 아닌가? 사실, Mastodon 서버들은 서로 소통이 가능합니다. 마치 이메일과도 같습니다. 자신의 홈 서버에 이메일 서버를 설치하여 자신만의 이메일 주소를 만들어도, 네이버 메일이나 Gmail과 서로 메일을 주고 받을 수 있는 것처럼요. 실제로, Mastodon의 계정 이름은 이메일 주소와 비슷하게 생겼습니다:

@username@server.com

이렇게 서로 다른 Mastodon 서버끼리 소통할 수 있도록 고안된 표준이 바로 ActivityPub 프로토콜입니다. 참고로, 이 ActivityPub 프로토콜은 Mastodon 프로젝트가 독자적으로 정한 게 아니라, W3C에서 웹 표준으로 정한 것입니다. 따라서 Mastodon 뿐만 아니라, Pixelfed 등 ActivityPub을 구현하는 다른 소프트웨어들도 서로 소통이 됩니다. Mastodon에서 Pixelfed로 댓글 다는 것도 되고, Pixelfed 사용자가 Mastodon 사용자를 팔로하는 것도 됩니다.

이렇게 서로 다른 SNS 소프트웨어, 사로 다른 서버끼리 자유롭게 소통이 가능한 구조를 연합(federation)이라고 부릅니다. 어떻게 보면, 이렇게 연합된 서로 다른 SNS들을 모두 합쳐서 하나의 SNS라고 볼 수도 있습니다. 이를 부르는 말이 바로 연합우주, 페디버스입니다.

연합우주는 현재도 꾸준히 커 가고 있습니다. 최근에는 Meta의 Threads도 ActivityPub을 구현하게 되었고, WordPress도 ActivityPub 플러그인을 공식적으로 개발했습니다. 특히, 기존의 연합우주 소프트웨어들은 각자의 서버에 직접 설치할 수 있는 오픈 소스 소프트웨어였던 것에 반해, Threads는 오픈 소스가 아님에도 ActivityPub을 구현했다는 점에서 상당히 이례적이라고 할 수 있습니다. 이런 방식의 연합도 가능하다는 것이죠.

안내

연합우주에 관해 좀 더 자세히 알고 싶어지셨다면, 〈연합우주(fediverse)와 ActivityPub 프로토콜 이해하기: 개발자를 위한 가이드〉라는 글도 읽어보시면 좋습니다.

과제

아직 연합우주를 경험해 본 적 없다면, 계정을 하나 만들어 봅시다. 계정을 만들기 위해서는 어떤 소프트웨어를 쓸 지 먼저 정해야 합니다. MastodonMisskey는 일종의 X처럼 단문을 중심으로 한 SNS입니다. Pixelfed는 Instagram처럼 사진을 중심으로 한 SNS입니다. Meta의 Threads도 있습니다. 현재 읽고 계시는 이 글이 올라온 Hackers' Pub도 사실은 연합우주의 일부로서, 소프트웨어 개발자들을 위한 SNS입니다. 이 중 어떤 것을 선택하시든 서로 소통하는 데에는 문제가 없습니다.

만약 Mastodon이나 Misskey, Pixelfed를 선택하셨다면, 서버를 고르셔야 합니다. (물론, 서버를 직접 구축하시는 것도 괜찮습니다. 아마 많은 걸 배우실 수 있을 겁니다.) 무슨 서버를 골라야 할 지 모르시겠다면, Mastodon의 경우 silicon.moe 서버를, Misskey의 경우 stella.place 서버를, Pixelfed의 경우 chueok.pics 서버를 권합니다.

만약 Threads를 고르셨다면, 서버를 고를 필요가 없습니다. Threads는 설치형 소프트웨어가 아니라 Meta에서 운영하는 상용 서비스이기 때문입니다. 다만, 설정에 가셔서 페디버스 공유 설정을 켜 주셔야 합니다.

만약 Hackers' Pub을 고르셨다면, 역시 서버를 고를 필요가 없습니다. 단 하나의 서버만 있기 때문입니다. 다만, 초대장이 필요하므로 멘토에게 초대장을 요청하시기 바랍니다.

과제

연합우주 계정이 생기셨다면, 이제 친구를 사귀어야 합니다. 다른 멘티들에게 계정 주소를 물어보고 서로 팔로를 해 보세요. 멘토도 팔로해 보세요. (멘토도 맞팔 하겠습니다.) 멘토의 연합우주 계정 주소는 @hongminhee@hackers.pub입니다.

계정 주소로 팔로하는 방법은 소프트웨어마다 조금씩 다르지만, 대부분의 경우 검색창에 주소를 입력하면 해당 계정이 보입니다. 계정이 보인다면 팔로 버튼을 누르면 됩니다.

과제

생성한 계정으로 멘토의 계정인 @hongminhee@hackers.pub을 멘션하여 글을 써 주세요. 글 내용은 뭐든 좋습니다.

JavaScript와 TypeScript

안내

이미 JavaScript와 TypeScript에 익숙하시다면 이 챕터는 넘기셔도 됩니다.

Fedify 프로젝트는 TypeScript로 작성되어 있습니다. TypeScript는 JavaScript에 정적 타입 검사를 추가한 언어로, 런타임에 버그를 발생시키는 잘못된 코드를 코드 작성 시에 미리 알 수 있도록 도와줍니다. TypeScript를 이해하려면 먼저 JavaScript를 이해해야 합니다.

아직 JavaScript에 익숙하지 않으신 분들은 《모던 JavaScript 튜토리얼》의 파트 1을 읽고 따라해 볼 것을 권합니다. 파트 2 이후의 내용은 Fedify 프로젝트에 기여하는 데에 크게 필요하지 않으므로 읽지 않으셔도 좋습니다.

JavaScript에는 어느 정도 익숙하지만 아직 TypeScript에 익숙하지 않으신 분들께는, 《The TypeScript Handbook》을 읽고 따라해 볼 것을 권합니다. 참고로 핸드북 페이지 우측 상단에 한국어 번역으로 가는 링크가 있습니다.

사실 오픈 소스 프로젝트에 기여하기 위해 반드시 그 프로젝트에서 쓰이는 언어를 속속들이 깊게 이해해야 하는 건 아닙니다. 기여할 때 필요한 만큼만 이해해도 좋으니, 어느 정도 언어 문법에 익숙해졌다 싶으면 실제 Fedify 코드를 읽는 것을 좀 더 추천합니다. 코드를 읽다가 이해가 안 되는 부분이 있으면 해당 언어 문법에 대해 따로 조사하는 식으로 익히시는 게 더 효율적입니다. 정 이해가 안 되는 경우에는 부담 없이 Fedify 프로젝트 Discord 서버의 #fedify-dev-ko 채널에서 질문해 주세요.

Fedify란?

여러분은 웹 서버 애플리케이션을 만들 때 HTTP를 직접 구현하시나요? 아마도 대부분은 그렇지 않을 겁니다. 그러기엔 할 게 너무 많기 때문이죠. 대신 우리는 대부분 Express나 Next.js, Django 같은 웹 프레임워크를 이용해서 개발하게 됩니다.

마찬가지로, 연합우주 SNS 소프트웨어를 구현하려고 할 경우, ActivityPub을 바닥부터 구현하기에는 너무 할 게 많습니다. 따라서 개발을 쉽게 해 줄 프레임워크가 필요한데, 그게 바로 Fedify입니다.

어떤 오픈 소스 프로젝트든 간에, 해당 프로젝트에 기여하기 위해서는 먼저 그 소프트웨어를 써보고 기본적인 기능들을 숙지해야 합니다. 써보지도 않은 소프트웨어에 기여를 하는 것은 무리입니다. 여러분도 Fedify에 기여하기에 앞서 Fedify를 써 볼 필요가 있습니다.

Fedify는 연합우주 소프트웨어를 만드는 도구이므로, Fedify를 사용한다고 하면 연합우주 소프트웨어를 만들어 본다는 뜻이 됩니다. Fedify를 사용하여 작은 ActivityPub 서버 소프트웨어를 만들어 보세요. Fedify를 써 보면서 이해가 안 가거나 중간에 막히는 게 있다면 Discord 서버의 #fedify-help-ko 채널에서 질문하세요.

과제

Fedify를 배우고 써보는 가장 쉬운 방법은 튜토리얼을 읽고 따라하는 것입니다. Fedify 공식 튜토리얼의 한국어판인 〈나만의 연합우주 마이크로블로그 만들기〉를 읽고 그대로 따라서 진행하세요. 빠르면 하루, 느긋하게 하면 사흘 정도 걸립니다. 중간에 막히는 부분이 있으면 멘토에게 부담 없이 질문하세요.

저장소 포크 및 클론

주의

Windows 환경에서 작업하실 때는 (WSL을 사용하지 않는다면) Git의 core.autocrlf 설정을 꺼 주시기 바랍니다:

git config --global core.autocrlf false

안내

Fedify 프로젝트를 Windows 환경에서 개발할 수는 있지만, Linux나 macOS에 비해 편의성이 떨어지는 것도 사실입니다. 가능하면 WSL을 세팅하시고 WSL 안에서 작업하시는 걸 추천드립니다.

Fedify의 GitHub에 저장소가 올라가 있습니다. 해당 저장소를 각자 포크(fork)하신 뒤, 포크한 저장소를 로컬에 클론하세요. 클론하신 뒤, 클론한 로컬 저장소 안에 들어가 업스트림 저장소를 리모트로 추가하시는 것을 권합니다:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify.git
git fetch upstream
git pull --set-upstream upstream main

개발 환경 설정

Fedify의 개발 환경 설정은 일반적인 JavaScript 프로젝트들에 비해 조금 복잡한 편입니다. Node.js 이외에도 DenoBun 등 여러 런타임을 지원해야 하기 때문인데요. Fedify의 개발을 위해서는 다음 소프트웨어가 시스템에 모두 설치되어 있어야 합니다:

하나하나 직접 설치하셔도 좋습니다만, 귀찮으시다면 mise라는 개발 환경 설정 소프트웨어를 이용하는 것을 권합니다. mise는 정말 다양한 방법으로 설치가 가능합니다:

sudo pacman -S mise      # Arch Linux
brew install mise        # macOS
winget install jdx.mise  # Windows
# 이 외에도 다양한 플랫폼 지원

설치하고 나서 PATH 환경 변수에 mise가 관리하는 소프트웨어들을 추가하도록 mise를 활성화해야 합니다. 활성화하는 방법은 어떤 셸을 사용하느냐에 따라 다릅니다:

zsh
echo 'eval "$(mise activate zsh)"' >> "${ZDOTDIR-$HOME}/.zshrc"
. "${ZDOTDIR-$HOME}/.zshrc"
Bash
echo 'eval "$(mise activate bash)"' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
PowerShell
echo 'mise activate pwsh | Out-String | Invoke-Expression' >> $HOME\Documents\PowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1
. $HOME\Documents\PowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1

대부분의 Linux의 경우 (또는 Windows의 WSL 안에서 작업하는 경우) 별 다른 설정을 하지 않았다면 bash를 쓰고 계실 것입니다. macOS를 쓰시고 별 다른 설정을 하지 않으셨다면 zsh을 쓰고 계실 것입니다. (WSL이 아닌) Windows의 경우에는 명령 프롬프트가 아닌 PowerShell 안에서 작업하셔야 합니다.

mise를 설치하셨다면, 로컬 저장소 안에 들어가 다음 명령어로 필요한 모든 소프트웨어를 한 번에 설치하실 수 있습니다:

mise install --yes

위 명령어를 실행하면 아래와 같이 Fedify 저장소 안에 들어있는 mise 설정 파일을 신뢰하겠냐는 프롬프트가 뜹니다. Yes를 선택해 주세요:

mise config files in ~/fedify are not trusted. Trust them?


   Yes     No     All  

←/→ toggley/n/a/enter submit

개발 환경이 잘 설정되었는지 확인하기 위해 Fedify의 전체 테스트 스위트를 실행해 봅시다. 첫 실행 시 통상 5분 정도 소요됩니다:

deno task test-all

Git 훅도 설치합니다:

deno task hooks:install

마지막으로 실제 편집 환경을 구성해야 합니다. 본 문서에서는 Visual Studio Code를 사용하는 것을 가정하겠습니다만, 같은 Visual Studio Code 계열인 CursorWindsurf에서도 과정은 대동소이합니다.

경고

Visual Studio와 Visual Studio Code는 서로 전혀 다른 별개의 제품이니 주의하세요.

안내

여러분이 Emacs나 Vim의 독실한 신자라면 Visual Studio Code를 사용하고 싶지 않을 수 있습니다. 그런 경우, Deno의 공식 환경 설정 문서를 참고하여 Deno 랭귀지 서버를 설정해 주시기 바랍니다.

우선 로컬 저장소 안에서 code 명령어를 통해 Visual Studio Code를 띄웁니다:

code .     # Visual Studio Code를 사용하는 경우
cursor .   # Cursor를 사용하는 경우
windsurf . # Windsurf를 사용하는 경우

Visual Studio Code 창이 뜨면, 화면 가운데에 다음과 같은 프롬프트 창이 뜹니다:

이 폴더에 있는 파일의 작성자를 신뢰합니까?

프롬프트에서 예, 작성자를 신뢰합니다 버튼을 선택합니다. 그러면 오른쪽 아래에 다음과 같은 작은 프롬프트 창이 뜹니다:

이 리포지토리에 대해 권장되는 Street Side Software, Red Hat 등의 확장을(를) 설치하시겠습니까?

프롬프트에서 설치 버튼을 선택합니다. 그러면 화면 가운데에 다음과 같은 프롬프트 창이 뜹니다:

게시자 “Street Side Software” 신뢰하고 다른 2?

프롬프트에서 게시자 신뢰 및 설치를 선택합니다. 그러면 Visual Studio Code에 Fedify 개발에 필요한 확장들이 설치되게 됩니다.

이로써 Fedify 기여에 필요한 기본적인 개발 환경 설정이 끝났습니다.

JavaScript 런타임

Fedify는 Deno, Node.js, Bun 등 다양한 JavaScript 런타임을 지원해야 합니다. 과연 JavaScript 런타임이 뭘까요?

JavaScript는 비교적 작은 언어입니다. 여러분이 process.exit() 같은 메서드를 활용하신 적 있다면, 이는 JavaScript 자체의 기능이 아니라 Node.js라는 특정한 JavaScript 런타임이 제공하는 기능입니다. 마찬가지로, 웹 브라우저에서 제공하는 DOM API 역시 JavaScript 자체의 기능이 아니라 웹 브라우저라는 (일종의) JavaScript 런타임이 제공하는 기능이라고 볼 수 있습니다.

JavaScript 런타임은 기본적으로 다음과 같은 역할을 합니다:

  • JavaScript 코드를 실제로 실행합니다.
  • JavaScript 언어로 사용 가능한 런타임 API를 제공합니다. 런타임 API로는 console.log(), Node.js의 process.exit(), 웹 브라우저의 window.alert() 같은 것들이 있습니다.
  • 모듈 시스템을 제공합니다. 예를 들어, Node.js는 node_modules/ 디렉터리 기반의 모듈 시스템을 제공하는 반면, Deno에서는 임포트 맵(import map) 기반의 모듈 시스템을 제공합니다. Node.js에서는 npm이나 pnpm, Yarn 등의 패키지 관리자를 사용해야 하지만, Deno나 Bun은 자체적인 패키지 관리자를 제공합니다. 웹 브라우저나 Cloudflare Workers는 패키지 관리자를 제공하지 않기 때문에 번들링이라는 과정을 거쳐야 합니다.

앞서 설명한 모든 것을 속속들이 이해해야 할 필요는 없습니다. 중요한 것은, 같은 JavaScript라고 하더라도 어느 런타임에서 실행하냐에 따라 상당히 다른 방식으로 언어를 사용해야 한다는 점입니다.

그러면 Fedify 프로젝트는 다양한 JavaScript 런타임을 어떻게 동시에 다 지원할 수 있을까요? 크게 두 가지 방법이 있습니다:

  1. 지원해야 하는 JavaScript 런타임 모두에서 공통적으로 지원하는 API만을 사용합니다.
  2. 런타임에 따라 다른 코드를 실행하도록 코드를 여러 벌 작성합니다.

Fedify 프로젝트는 두 가지 방법 모두 사용하고 있으며, 지원하는 모든 JavaScript 런타임에서 테스트 스위트를 실행해서 Fedify의 모든 기능이 각 JavaScript 런타임에서 잘 동작하는지를 검사합니다.

Fedify 저장소의 구조

2025년 7월 현재, Fedify 프로젝트의 저장소는 다음과 같은 구조로 되어 있습니다:

  • fedify/ — Fedify의 핵심인 @fedify/fedify 패키지입니다. 이 패키지는 Deno, Node.js, Bun, Cloudflare Workers 환경에서 동작합니다.
  • cli/ — Fedify 사용자들을 위한 CLI 개발 도구인 @fedify/cli 패키지입니다. 이 패키지는 Deno로만 작성됩니다.
  • amqp/ — AMQP/RabbitMQ 드라이버인 @fedify/amqp 패키지입니다.
  • express/ — Express 프레임워크와의 연동 모듈인 @fedify/express 패키지입니다.
  • h3/ — h3 프레임워크와의 연동 모듈인 @fedify/h3 패키지입니다.
  • postgres/ — PostgreSQL 드라이버인 @fedify/postgres 패키지입니다.
  • redis/ — Redis 드라이버인 @fedify/redis 패키지입니다.
  • docs/ — Fedify의 문서가 포함되어 있습니다. https://fedify.dev/ 웹사이트의 소스 코드입니다. VitePress로 구축되어 있습니다.
  • examples/ — 이름 그대로 Fedify를 사용하는 예제 프로젝트들이 들어 있습니다.
  • scripts/ — 프로젝트 관리를 위한 스크립트들이 들어 있습니다. 대부분의 경우 건드릴 일이 없을 겁니다.

여러분은 주로 fedify/ 디렉터리 및 cli/ 디렉터리에서 작업을 하게 될 것입니다.

린트와 테스트

여느 오픈 소스 프로젝트들이 그렇듯, Fedify 프로젝트도 나름의 코딩 컨벤션과 규칙들이 있습니다. 다행히 이들 대부분은 커밋하기 전에 기계적으로 검사가 가능합니다. 다음 명령어는 현재 프로젝트의 코드가 코딩 컨벤션을 잘 지키고 타입 오류가 없는지 검사합니다:

deno task check

다음 명령어는 코드를 코딩 컨벤션에 맞게 알아서 서식화합니다:

deno fmt

앞서 언급한 것처럼, 다음 명령어는 Fedify 프로젝트의 전체 테스트 스위트를 실행하고 필요한 검사를 수행합니다. 풀 리퀘스트를 올리기 전에 한 번 실행해 보십시오:

deno task test-all

@fedify/fedify 패키지를 수정했을 경우, 수정과 관련된 일부 테스트 코드만 빠르게 실행해 보고 싶을 수 있습니다. 그럴 때는 다음과 같이 -f @fedify/fedify 옵션과 --filter 옵션을 함께 활용해 보세요 (태스크 이름이 test-all이 아니라 test임에 주의하세요):

deno task -f @fedify/fedify test --filter verifyRequest

혹은 -f @fedify/fedify 옵션을 쓰는 대신 직접 fedify/ 디렉터리 안에서 deno task test 명령어를 사용하셔도 됩니다:

cd fedify/
deno task test --filter verifyRequest

참고로 --filter 옵션은 테스트 케이스 이름을 부분 문자열로 검색합니다. 이를테면, 다음과 같은 테스트가 있을 경우:

test("anArbitraryTest", () => {
  // … 생략 …
});

다음과 같은 방식으로 모두 실행이 가능합니다:

deno task -f @fedify/fedify test --filter anArbitraryTest
deno task -f @fedify/fedify test --filter   Arbitrary
deno task -f @fedify/fedify test --filter            Test

앞서 설명한 deno task test 명령어는 Deno 런타임에서 테스트 스위트를 실행합니다. Node.js에서도 잘 돌아가나 확인하기 위해서는 Node.js 런타임에서도 테스트 스위트를 실행해 봐야 합니다. fedify/ 디렉터리 안쪽에서 pnpm test 명령어를 통해 Node.js에서 테스트 스위트를 돌려 볼 수 있습니다:

cd fedify/
pnpm test

일부 테스트만 빠르게 실행해 보고 싶을 경우 --test-name-pattern 옵션을 활용하세요:

pnpm test --test-name-pattern verifyRequest

Bun에서도 잘 돌아가는지 확인하려면 fedify/ 디렉터리 안쪽에서 pnpm test:bun 명령어를 사용하세요:

pnpm test:bun

일부 테스트만 빠르게 실행해 보고 싶을 경우 마찬가지로 --test-name-pattern 옵션을 활용하세요:

pnpm test:bun --test-name-pattern verifyRequest

마지막으로, Cloudflare Workers에서도 잘 돌아가는지 검사해야 합니다. 이 경우에는 pnpm test:cfworkers 명령어를 활용하세요:

pnpm test:cfworkers

일부 테스트만 빠르게 실행해 보고 싶을 경우 인자로 부분 문자열 키워드를 넘기면 됩니다:

pnpm test:cfworkers verifyRequest

사실, 앞서 설명했던 deno task test-all 명령어는 한 번에 Deno, Node.js, Bun, Cloudflare Workers 모두에서 테스트 스위트를 실행하는 명령어입니다.

안내

테스트 실행 시 실패하는 케이스가 있나요? 그것 자체가 기여할 좋은 기회입니다. 실패하는 테스트가 성공하도록 직접 코드를 고쳐서 풀 리퀘스트를 올리셔도 좋고, 이슈 트래커에 이슈를 만들기만 해도 좋은 기여가 됩니다.

@fedify/cli: Fedify CLI 도구

@fedify/cli 패키지는 Fedify를 이용하여 ActivityPub 서버를 구현하는 개발자들을 위한 CLI 편의 도구로서, 주로 ActivityPub 서버 개발을 할 때 디버그나 테스트를 위해 필요한 기능들을 제공합니다. 라이브러리 패키지인 @fedify/fedify와 다르게 @fedify/cli는 패키지는 애플리케이션이기 때문에 코드를 수정한 뒤 바로 사용해 볼 수가 있습니다. 또한, 굳이 여러 런타임을 지원할 필요가 없기 때문에 Deno 환경만 신경쓰면 됩니다.

그런 이유로, @fedify/cli 패키지는 처음 기여하기에 좋습니다. 참고로 @fedif/cli는 CLI 애플리케이션 프레임워크로 Cliffy를 사용하고 있으니, 관련해서 궁금한 게 있다면 Cliffy 문서를 참고해 주세요.

일감 찾기

중요

오픈 소스 프로젝트에서는 할 일을 자발적으로 찾아야 합니다. 직장이 아니므로, 다른 누군가가 할 일을 할당해 주지 않습니다. 사실, 오픈 소스에서 활발하게 활동하는 프로그래머들은 단순히 소프트웨어 개발 실력이 좋은 게 아니라, 적절한 할 일을 잘 찾아내는 능력이 있습니다. 이 때 “적절하다”는 것은 자신의 실력으로 해낼 수 있을 정도의 난이도면서도 프로젝트에 임팩트를 낼 수 있는 것을 뜻합니다.

대부분의 오픈 소스 프로젝트는 할 일을 이슈 트래커에서 관리합니다. Fedify 역시 GitHub에서 제공하는 이슈 트래커로 할 일들을 관리하고 있습니다. 특별한 이유가 없는 한, 이슈는 기본적으로 영어로 작성되거나, 적어도 영어가 병기되어야 합니다. 영어가 익숙치 않은 분들은 Kagi 번역 등을 활용하시면 될 것 같습니다. 언어 때문에 어려우신 분은 멘토에게 도움을 청하세요.

이슈는 크게 세 종류로 나뉩니다:

피처 (feature)
말 그대로 새로운 기능을 뜻합니다.
버그 (bug)
기존에 있던 기능의 오작동을 뜻합니다.
태스크 (task)
신기능이나 버그 이외의 작업들을 가리킵니다. 예를 들면, 문서 수정 등이 여기에 속합니다.
미분류 (no type)
아직 분류되지 않은 이슈들인데, 이슈는 어떻게든 분류되어야 하므로 보통은 없습니다.

위의 분류와는 별개로, Fedify 이슈 트래커에서는 레이블을 구조화하여 활용하고 있습니다. 대부분의 레이블은 범례/레이블 이름 형식을 따르며, 대표적으로는 다음과 같은 것들이 있습니다:

difficulty/beginner
쉬운 난이도
good first issue
처음 기여하는 사람에게 적합
help wanted
도움 필요
type/documentation
문서 관련

안내

좀 더 자세히 확인하실 분은 전체 레이블 목록을 확인하세요.

여기서 여러분이 가장 주목하셔야 할 레이블은 바로 good first issue입니다. 해당 레이블이 붙은 이슈는 처음 기여하는 사람에게 적합하기 때문에, 여러분의 첫 기여 때 할 일을 찾을 때 도움이 됩니다. 이슈들을 찬찬히 읽어보시고 해 볼 만한 일감을 고르세요. 이슈를 읽어도 이해가 안 될 경우에는 댓글로 질문을 남기거나 멘토에게 질문하세요.

기여해 볼 이슈를 찾으셨다면, 해당 이슈를 이미 다른 사람이 진행중인지 확인하세요. 아무도 진행하고 있지 않다면 진행하겠다는 댓글을 이슈에 달아주세요.

과제

처음 기여할 이슈를 찾아 이슈에 댓글을 달아주세요. 이슈를 못 찾겠다면 멘토에게 도움을 요청하세요. 멘토가 기여할 만한 일을 함께 찾아줄 수 있습니다.

안내

굳이 이슈 트래커에 이미 있는 이슈 중에서만 고를 필요는 없습니다. Fedify를 써 보면서 개선할 부분을 발견하셨다면, 그걸 이슈로 만들어서 직접 해결하셔도 좋습니다. 사실, 오픈 소스의 많은 이슈들이 이슈를 제기한 사람에 의해 해결됩니다.

추가 정보 및 질문

본 문서에서 다루지 못한 내용도 많이 있을 것입니다. 아래 문서들은 부족한 부분을 좀 더 보충해 줄 수 있습니다:

본 문서를 읽다가 혹은 읽고 나서도 궁금한 점이 있다면 얼마든지 멘토에게 질문해 주세요. Discord 서버에서 질문하셔도 좋고, GitHub Discussions에 질문 글을 올리셔도 좋습니다.

이 문서는 기본적으로 오픈 소스 컨트리뷰션 아카데미 참여형 프로그램을 진행하게 된 멘티들을 위한 것입니다만, Fedify 프로젝트에 기여하고 싶은 분들이라면 얼마든지 활용하셔도 좋습니다.

안녕하세요. 오픈 소스 컨트리뷰션 아카데미 참여형 프로그램에서 Fedify 프로젝트를 함께 할 멘토 홍민희입니다.

Fedify 프로젝트에 참여하시게 된 것을 진심으로 환영합니다. 본 문서에서는 여러분이 앞으로 Fedify 프로젝트에 기여하기 위해서 알고 준비해야 하는 것들을 정리했습니다. 조금 긴 내용이 될 수도 있지만, 차근차근 읽어보시고 따라해야 할 과제는 따라해 주시기 바랍니다. 본 문서에 나온 과제들은 본격적인 기여를 위해 반드시 선행되어야 합니다.

소통 채널

중요

OSSCA 자체 Discord 서버에도 초대되셨을 것입니다만, 그곳에서는 행사에 관한 이야기만 주로 하게 될 겁니다. 실제 기여와 개발에 관련된 이야기는 지금부터 설명할 Fedify 프로젝트의 Discord 서버에서 이뤄지게 됩니다.

가장 먼저 해야 할 것은 Fedify 프로젝트의 Discord 서버에 입장하는 것입니다. 만약 아직 Discord 계정이 없다면 하나 만드세요. 꽤 많은 오픈 소스 프로젝트들이 Discord에서 소통을 합니다. Discord 계정을 만들어 두면 앞으로 다양한 오픈 소스 프로젝트에 기여할 때 쓸모가 많을 것입니다.

Fedify 프로젝트의 Discord 서버에 입장하면, 다음과 같은 질문이 뜹니다:

What language do you speak? どの言語を話しますか? 어떤 언어를 쓰시나요?

그러면 한국어를 포함해 자신이 이해할 수 있는 언어들을 선택하시면 됩니다. 그러면 여러 채널들이 보이게 되는데, 그 중에서 여러분이 주로 이용하게 될 채널은 #fedify-dev-ko 채널입니다.

본 문서를 읽고 따라하면서 중간에 어려움이 있거나 막히는 부분이 있으면 해당 채널에서 편하게 질문하시면 됩니다.

프로젝트 관련해서 궁금한 점은 사소한 것이라도 Discord 서버에서 질문 주세요. “시간이 날 때 천천히 해결해야지”보다는 일단 물어보는게 낫습니다. 특히 초반의 많은 문제는, 보통 질문을 많이 하면 빨리 해결됩니다. 시간을 정해두세요. 이를테면 30분으로 정했으면 30분 내로 해결이 안되면 일단 질문을 합시다.

과제

Discord 서버에 입장하신 뒤, #fedify-dev-ko 채널에서 간단히 자기 소개를 해 주세요. 본인의 이름과 GitHub 아이디를 꼭 알려주시기 바랍니다.

권고

원활하고 즉시적인 소통을 위해서는 모바일 앱으로 알림을 받을 수 있어야 합니다. 본인의 스마트폰에 Discord 앱을 설치하고 로그인한 뒤, 알림을 허용해 주세요. 랩톱 및 데스크톱 환경에서도 Discord 앱을 설치하고 항상 실행해 두실 것을 권합니다.

권고

가능하다면 Discord 계정의 아바타를 GitHub 계정의 프로필 사진과 통일해 주세요. 멘티가 워낙 많기 때문에 누가 누군지 기억하기 어렵기 때문입니다. 특히, 아무런 이미지도 설정해 두지 않은 분들은 아무 그림이라도 좋으니 시인성을 위해 설정을 부탁드립니다.

연합우주(fediverse)란?

안내

이미 연합우주나 ActivityPub에 대해 익숙하신 분들은 설명은 건너 뛰시고 이 섹션 마지막의 과제만 하셔도 괜찮습니다.

Fedify 프로젝트가 어떤 프로젝트인지 이해하기 위해서는, 우선 페디버스(fediverse), 즉 한국어로 연합우주에 대해 기본적인 이해를 갖출 필요가 있습니다.

종래의 중앙집권적인 SNS들은 크게 두 가지 특징이 있습니다. 첫째로, SNS에 올리는 사용자들의 모든 데이터를 특정 기업이 사유한다는 것입니다. 둘째로, 서로 다른 SNS끼리는 소통할 수 없다는 것입니다. 특히, 두번째 특징은 이메일을 생각해 보면 아주 자연스러운 것은 아니라는 것을 알 수 있습니다. 네이버 메일을 쓰는 사람이 Gmail을 쓰는 사람과 소통할 수 없을까요? 그렇지 않지요. 하지만 Instagram 사용자는 X (舊 Twitter) 사용자와 소통할 수 없습니다.

이러한 문제를 해결하고자 나온 대안 SNS들이 있습니다. Mastodon이나 Pixelfed 같은 것들이 그렇습니다. 그리고 이러한 SNS들은 누구라도 자신의 서버에 설치가 가능합니다. 실제로 홈 서버에서 돌아가는 Mastodon 서버도 꽤 많습니다. 물론, 직접 서버를 운영하고 싶지 않은 대부분의 사람들에게는 대형 서버라는 선택지도 있습니다. 이를테면, Mastodon 서버 중에서 가장 사용자가 많은 서버인 mastodon.social은 Mastodon 개발 팀이 직접 운영하는 서버입니다.

하지만 이런 의문이 드실 수 있습니다. 자신의 홈 서버에 Mastodon을 설치해봤자 혼자 쓰는 일기장이 아닌가? 사실, Mastodon 서버들은 서로 소통이 가능합니다. 마치 이메일과도 같습니다. 자신의 홈 서버에 이메일 서버를 설치하여 자신만의 이메일 주소를 만들어도, 네이버 메일이나 Gmail과 서로 메일을 주고 받을 수 있는 것처럼요. 실제로, Mastodon의 계정 이름은 이메일 주소와 비슷하게 생겼습니다:

@username@server.com

이렇게 서로 다른 Mastodon 서버끼리 소통할 수 있도록 고안된 표준이 바로 ActivityPub 프로토콜입니다. 참고로, 이 ActivityPub 프로토콜은 Mastodon 프로젝트가 독자적으로 정한 게 아니라, W3C에서 웹 표준으로 정한 것입니다. 따라서 Mastodon 뿐만 아니라, Pixelfed 등 ActivityPub을 구현하는 다른 소프트웨어들도 서로 소통이 됩니다. Mastodon에서 Pixelfed로 댓글 다는 것도 되고, Pixelfed 사용자가 Mastodon 사용자를 팔로하는 것도 됩니다.

이렇게 서로 다른 SNS 소프트웨어, 사로 다른 서버끼리 자유롭게 소통이 가능한 구조를 연합(federation)이라고 부릅니다. 어떻게 보면, 이렇게 연합된 서로 다른 SNS들을 모두 합쳐서 하나의 SNS라고 볼 수도 있습니다. 이를 부르는 말이 바로 연합우주, 페디버스입니다.

연합우주는 현재도 꾸준히 커 가고 있습니다. 최근에는 Meta의 Threads도 ActivityPub을 구현하게 되었고, WordPress도 ActivityPub 플러그인을 공식적으로 개발했습니다. 특히, 기존의 연합우주 소프트웨어들은 각자의 서버에 직접 설치할 수 있는 오픈 소스 소프트웨어였던 것에 반해, Threads는 오픈 소스가 아님에도 ActivityPub을 구현했다는 점에서 상당히 이례적이라고 할 수 있습니다. 이런 방식의 연합도 가능하다는 것이죠.

안내

연합우주에 관해 좀 더 자세히 알고 싶어지셨다면, 〈연합우주(fediverse)와 ActivityPub 프로토콜 이해하기: 개발자를 위한 가이드〉라는 글도 읽어보시면 좋습니다.

과제

아직 연합우주를 경험해 본 적 없다면, 계정을 하나 만들어 봅시다. 계정을 만들기 위해서는 어떤 소프트웨어를 쓸 지 먼저 정해야 합니다. MastodonMisskey는 일종의 X처럼 단문을 중심으로 한 SNS입니다. Pixelfed는 Instagram처럼 사진을 중심으로 한 SNS입니다. Meta의 Threads도 있습니다. 현재 읽고 계시는 이 글이 올라온 Hackers' Pub도 사실은 연합우주의 일부로서, 소프트웨어 개발자들을 위한 SNS입니다. 이 중 어떤 것을 선택하시든 서로 소통하는 데에는 문제가 없습니다.

만약 Mastodon이나 Misskey, Pixelfed를 선택하셨다면, 서버를 고르셔야 합니다. (물론, 서버를 직접 구축하시는 것도 괜찮습니다. 아마 많은 걸 배우실 수 있을 겁니다.) 무슨 서버를 골라야 할 지 모르시겠다면, Mastodon의 경우 silicon.moe 서버를, Misskey의 경우 stella.place 서버를, Pixelfed의 경우 chueok.pics 서버를 권합니다.

만약 Threads를 고르셨다면, 서버를 고를 필요가 없습니다. Threads는 설치형 소프트웨어가 아니라 Meta에서 운영하는 상용 서비스이기 때문입니다. 다만, 설정에 가셔서 페디버스 공유 설정을 켜 주셔야 합니다.

만약 Hackers' Pub을 고르셨다면, 역시 서버를 고를 필요가 없습니다. 단 하나의 서버만 있기 때문입니다. 다만, 초대장이 필요하므로 멘토에게 초대장을 요청하시기 바랍니다.

과제

연합우주 계정이 생기셨다면, 이제 친구를 사귀어야 합니다. 다른 멘티들에게 계정 주소를 물어보고 서로 팔로를 해 보세요. 멘토도 팔로해 보세요. (멘토도 맞팔 하겠습니다.) 멘토의 연합우주 계정 주소는 @hongminhee@hackers.pub입니다.

계정 주소로 팔로하는 방법은 소프트웨어마다 조금씩 다르지만, 대부분의 경우 검색창에 주소를 입력하면 해당 계정이 보입니다. 계정이 보인다면 팔로 버튼을 누르면 됩니다.

과제

생성한 계정으로 멘토의 계정인 @hongminhee@hackers.pub을 멘션하여 글을 써 주세요. 글 내용은 뭐든 좋습니다.

JavaScript와 TypeScript

안내

이미 JavaScript와 TypeScript에 익숙하시다면 이 챕터는 넘기셔도 됩니다.

Fedify 프로젝트는 TypeScript로 작성되어 있습니다. TypeScript는 JavaScript에 정적 타입 검사를 추가한 언어로, 런타임에 버그를 발생시키는 잘못된 코드를 코드 작성 시에 미리 알 수 있도록 도와줍니다. TypeScript를 이해하려면 먼저 JavaScript를 이해해야 합니다.

아직 JavaScript에 익숙하지 않으신 분들은 《모던 JavaScript 튜토리얼》의 파트 1을 읽고 따라해 볼 것을 권합니다. 파트 2 이후의 내용은 Fedify 프로젝트에 기여하는 데에 크게 필요하지 않으므로 읽지 않으셔도 좋습니다.

JavaScript에는 어느 정도 익숙하지만 아직 TypeScript에 익숙하지 않으신 분들께는, 《The TypeScript Handbook》을 읽고 따라해 볼 것을 권합니다. 참고로 핸드북 페이지 우측 상단에 한국어 번역으로 가는 링크가 있습니다.

사실 오픈 소스 프로젝트에 기여하기 위해 반드시 그 프로젝트에서 쓰이는 언어를 속속들이 깊게 이해해야 하는 건 아닙니다. 기여할 때 필요한 만큼만 이해해도 좋으니, 어느 정도 언어 문법에 익숙해졌다 싶으면 실제 Fedify 코드를 읽는 것을 좀 더 추천합니다. 코드를 읽다가 이해가 안 되는 부분이 있으면 해당 언어 문법에 대해 따로 조사하는 식으로 익히시는 게 더 효율적입니다. 정 이해가 안 되는 경우에는 부담 없이 Fedify 프로젝트 Discord 서버의 #fedify-dev-ko 채널에서 질문해 주세요.

Fedify란?

여러분은 웹 서버 애플리케이션을 만들 때 HTTP를 직접 구현하시나요? 아마도 대부분은 그렇지 않을 겁니다. 그러기엔 할 게 너무 많기 때문이죠. 대신 우리는 대부분 Express나 Next.js, Django 같은 웹 프레임워크를 이용해서 개발하게 됩니다.

마찬가지로, 연합우주 SNS 소프트웨어를 구현하려고 할 경우, ActivityPub을 바닥부터 구현하기에는 너무 할 게 많습니다. 따라서 개발을 쉽게 해 줄 프레임워크가 필요한데, 그게 바로 Fedify입니다.

어떤 오픈 소스 프로젝트든 간에, 해당 프로젝트에 기여하기 위해서는 먼저 그 소프트웨어를 써보고 기본적인 기능들을 숙지해야 합니다. 써보지도 않은 소프트웨어에 기여를 하는 것은 무리입니다. 여러분도 Fedify에 기여하기에 앞서 Fedify를 써 볼 필요가 있습니다.

Fedify는 연합우주 소프트웨어를 만드는 도구이므로, Fedify를 사용한다고 하면 연합우주 소프트웨어를 만들어 본다는 뜻이 됩니다. Fedify를 사용하여 작은 ActivityPub 서버 소프트웨어를 만들어 보세요. Fedify를 써 보면서 이해가 안 가거나 중간에 막히는 게 있다면 Discord 서버의 #fedify-help-ko 채널에서 질문하세요.

과제

Fedify를 배우고 써보는 가장 쉬운 방법은 튜토리얼을 읽고 따라하는 것입니다. Fedify 공식 튜토리얼의 한국어판인 〈나만의 연합우주 마이크로블로그 만들기〉를 읽고 그대로 따라서 진행하세요. 빠르면 하루, 느긋하게 하면 사흘 정도 걸립니다. 중간에 막히는 부분이 있으면 멘토에게 부담 없이 질문하세요.

저장소 포크 및 클론

주의

Windows 환경에서 작업하실 때는 (WSL을 사용하지 않는다면) Git의 core.autocrlf 설정을 꺼 주시기 바랍니다:

git config --global core.autocrlf false

안내

Fedify 프로젝트를 Windows 환경에서 개발할 수는 있지만, Linux나 macOS에 비해 편의성이 떨어지는 것도 사실입니다. 가능하면 WSL을 세팅하시고 WSL 안에서 작업하시는 걸 추천드립니다.

Fedify의 GitHub에 저장소가 올라가 있습니다. 해당 저장소를 각자 포크(fork)하신 뒤, 포크한 저장소를 로컬에 클론하세요. 클론하신 뒤, 클론한 로컬 저장소 안에 들어가 업스트림 저장소를 리모트로 추가하시는 것을 권합니다:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify.git
git fetch upstream
git pull --set-upstream upstream main

개발 환경 설정

Fedify의 개발 환경 설정은 일반적인 JavaScript 프로젝트들에 비해 조금 복잡한 편입니다. Node.js 이외에도 DenoBun 등 여러 런타임을 지원해야 하기 때문인데요. Fedify의 개발을 위해서는 다음 소프트웨어가 시스템에 모두 설치되어 있어야 합니다:

하나하나 직접 설치하셔도 좋습니다만, 귀찮으시다면 mise라는 개발 환경 설정 소프트웨어를 이용하는 것을 권합니다. mise는 정말 다양한 방법으로 설치가 가능합니다:

sudo pacman -S mise      # Arch Linux
brew install mise        # macOS
winget install jdx.mise  # Windows
# 이 외에도 다양한 플랫폼 지원

설치하고 나서 PATH 환경 변수에 mise가 관리하는 소프트웨어들을 추가하도록 mise를 활성화해야 합니다. 활성화하는 방법은 어떤 셸을 사용하느냐에 따라 다릅니다:

zsh
echo 'eval "$(mise activate zsh)"' >> "${ZDOTDIR-$HOME}/.zshrc"
. "${ZDOTDIR-$HOME}/.zshrc"
Bash
echo 'eval "$(mise activate bash)"' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
PowerShell
echo 'mise activate pwsh | Out-String | Invoke-Expression' >> $HOME\Documents\PowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1
. $HOME\Documents\PowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1

대부분의 Linux의 경우 (또는 Windows의 WSL 안에서 작업하는 경우) 별 다른 설정을 하지 않았다면 bash를 쓰고 계실 것입니다. macOS를 쓰시고 별 다른 설정을 하지 않으셨다면 zsh을 쓰고 계실 것입니다. (WSL이 아닌) Windows의 경우에는 명령 프롬프트가 아닌 PowerShell 안에서 작업하셔야 합니다.

mise를 설치하셨다면, 로컬 저장소 안에 들어가 다음 명령어로 필요한 모든 소프트웨어를 한 번에 설치하실 수 있습니다:

mise install --yes

위 명령어를 실행하면 아래와 같이 Fedify 저장소 안에 들어있는 mise 설정 파일을 신뢰하겠냐는 프롬프트가 뜹니다. Yes를 선택해 주세요:

mise config files in ~/fedify are not trusted. Trust them?


   Yes     No     All  

←/→ toggley/n/a/enter submit

개발 환경이 잘 설정되었는지 확인하기 위해 Fedify의 전체 테스트 스위트를 실행해 봅시다. 첫 실행 시 통상 5분 정도 소요됩니다:

deno task test-all

Git 훅도 설치합니다:

deno task hooks:install

마지막으로 실제 편집 환경을 구성해야 합니다. 본 문서에서는 Visual Studio Code를 사용하는 것을 가정하겠습니다만, 같은 Visual Studio Code 계열인 CursorWindsurf에서도 과정은 대동소이합니다.

경고

Visual Studio와 Visual Studio Code는 서로 전혀 다른 별개의 제품이니 주의하세요.

안내

여러분이 Emacs나 Vim의 독실한 신자라면 Visual Studio Code를 사용하고 싶지 않을 수 있습니다. 그런 경우, Deno의 공식 환경 설정 문서를 참고하여 Deno 랭귀지 서버를 설정해 주시기 바랍니다.

우선 로컬 저장소 안에서 code 명령어를 통해 Visual Studio Code를 띄웁니다:

code .     # Visual Studio Code를 사용하는 경우
cursor .   # Cursor를 사용하는 경우
windsurf . # Windsurf를 사용하는 경우

Visual Studio Code 창이 뜨면, 화면 가운데에 다음과 같은 프롬프트 창이 뜹니다:

이 폴더에 있는 파일의 작성자를 신뢰합니까?

프롬프트에서 예, 작성자를 신뢰합니다 버튼을 선택합니다. 그러면 오른쪽 아래에 다음과 같은 작은 프롬프트 창이 뜹니다:

이 리포지토리에 대해 권장되는 Street Side Software, Red Hat 등의 확장을(를) 설치하시겠습니까?

프롬프트에서 설치 버튼을 선택합니다. 그러면 화면 가운데에 다음과 같은 프롬프트 창이 뜹니다:

게시자 “Street Side Software” 신뢰하고 다른 2?

프롬프트에서 게시자 신뢰 및 설치를 선택합니다. 그러면 Visual Studio Code에 Fedify 개발에 필요한 확장들이 설치되게 됩니다.

이로써 Fedify 기여에 필요한 기본적인 개발 환경 설정이 끝났습니다.

JavaScript 런타임

Fedify는 Deno, Node.js, Bun 등 다양한 JavaScript 런타임을 지원해야 합니다. 과연 JavaScript 런타임이 뭘까요?

JavaScript는 비교적 작은 언어입니다. 여러분이 process.exit() 같은 메서드를 활용하신 적 있다면, 이는 JavaScript 자체의 기능이 아니라 Node.js라는 특정한 JavaScript 런타임이 제공하는 기능입니다. 마찬가지로, 웹 브라우저에서 제공하는 DOM API 역시 JavaScript 자체의 기능이 아니라 웹 브라우저라는 (일종의) JavaScript 런타임이 제공하는 기능이라고 볼 수 있습니다.

JavaScript 런타임은 기본적으로 다음과 같은 역할을 합니다:

  • JavaScript 코드를 실제로 실행합니다.
  • JavaScript 언어로 사용 가능한 런타임 API를 제공합니다. 런타임 API로는 console.log(), Node.js의 process.exit(), 웹 브라우저의 window.alert() 같은 것들이 있습니다.
  • 모듈 시스템을 제공합니다. 예를 들어, Node.js는 node_modules/ 디렉터리 기반의 모듈 시스템을 제공하는 반면, Deno에서는 임포트 맵(import map) 기반의 모듈 시스템을 제공합니다. Node.js에서는 npm이나 pnpm, Yarn 등의 패키지 관리자를 사용해야 하지만, Deno나 Bun은 자체적인 패키지 관리자를 제공합니다. 웹 브라우저나 Cloudflare Workers는 패키지 관리자를 제공하지 않기 때문에 번들링이라는 과정을 거쳐야 합니다.

앞서 설명한 모든 것을 속속들이 이해해야 할 필요는 없습니다. 중요한 것은, 같은 JavaScript라고 하더라도 어느 런타임에서 실행하냐에 따라 상당히 다른 방식으로 언어를 사용해야 한다는 점입니다.

그러면 Fedify 프로젝트는 다양한 JavaScript 런타임을 어떻게 동시에 다 지원할 수 있을까요? 크게 두 가지 방법이 있습니다:

  1. 지원해야 하는 JavaScript 런타임 모두에서 공통적으로 지원하는 API만을 사용합니다.
  2. 런타임에 따라 다른 코드를 실행하도록 코드를 여러 벌 작성합니다.

Fedify 프로젝트는 두 가지 방법 모두 사용하고 있으며, 지원하는 모든 JavaScript 런타임에서 테스트 스위트를 실행해서 Fedify의 모든 기능이 각 JavaScript 런타임에서 잘 동작하는지를 검사합니다.

Fedify 저장소의 구조

2025년 7월 현재, Fedify 프로젝트의 저장소는 다음과 같은 구조로 되어 있습니다:

  • fedify/ — Fedify의 핵심인 @fedify/fedify 패키지입니다. 이 패키지는 Deno, Node.js, Bun, Cloudflare Workers 환경에서 동작합니다.
  • cli/ — Fedify 사용자들을 위한 CLI 개발 도구인 @fedify/cli 패키지입니다. 이 패키지는 Deno로만 작성됩니다.
  • amqp/ — AMQP/RabbitMQ 드라이버인 @fedify/amqp 패키지입니다.
  • express/ — Express 프레임워크와의 연동 모듈인 @fedify/express 패키지입니다.
  • h3/ — h3 프레임워크와의 연동 모듈인 @fedify/h3 패키지입니다.
  • postgres/ — PostgreSQL 드라이버인 @fedify/postgres 패키지입니다.
  • redis/ — Redis 드라이버인 @fedify/redis 패키지입니다.
  • docs/ — Fedify의 문서가 포함되어 있습니다. https://fedify.dev/ 웹사이트의 소스 코드입니다. VitePress로 구축되어 있습니다.
  • examples/ — 이름 그대로 Fedify를 사용하는 예제 프로젝트들이 들어 있습니다.
  • scripts/ — 프로젝트 관리를 위한 스크립트들이 들어 있습니다. 대부분의 경우 건드릴 일이 없을 겁니다.

여러분은 주로 fedify/ 디렉터리 및 cli/ 디렉터리에서 작업을 하게 될 것입니다.

린트와 테스트

여느 오픈 소스 프로젝트들이 그렇듯, Fedify 프로젝트도 나름의 코딩 컨벤션과 규칙들이 있습니다. 다행히 이들 대부분은 커밋하기 전에 기계적으로 검사가 가능합니다. 다음 명령어는 현재 프로젝트의 코드가 코딩 컨벤션을 잘 지키고 타입 오류가 없는지 검사합니다:

deno task check

다음 명령어는 코드를 코딩 컨벤션에 맞게 알아서 서식화합니다:

deno fmt

앞서 언급한 것처럼, 다음 명령어는 Fedify 프로젝트의 전체 테스트 스위트를 실행하고 필요한 검사를 수행합니다. 풀 리퀘스트를 올리기 전에 한 번 실행해 보십시오:

deno task test-all

@fedify/fedify 패키지를 수정했을 경우, 수정과 관련된 일부 테스트 코드만 빠르게 실행해 보고 싶을 수 있습니다. 그럴 때는 다음과 같이 -f @fedify/fedify 옵션과 --filter 옵션을 함께 활용해 보세요 (태스크 이름이 test-all이 아니라 test임에 주의하세요):

deno task -f @fedify/fedify test --filter verifyRequest

혹은 -f @fedify/fedify 옵션을 쓰는 대신 직접 fedify/ 디렉터리 안에서 deno task test 명령어를 사용하셔도 됩니다:

cd fedify/
deno task test --filter verifyRequest

참고로 --filter 옵션은 테스트 케이스 이름을 부분 문자열로 검색합니다. 이를테면, 다음과 같은 테스트가 있을 경우:

test("anArbitraryTest", () => {
  // … 생략 …
});

다음과 같은 방식으로 모두 실행이 가능합니다:

deno task -f @fedify/fedify test --filter anArbitraryTest
deno task -f @fedify/fedify test --filter   Arbitrary
deno task -f @fedify/fedify test --filter            Test

앞서 설명한 deno task test 명령어는 Deno 런타임에서 테스트 스위트를 실행합니다. Node.js에서도 잘 돌아가나 확인하기 위해서는 Node.js 런타임에서도 테스트 스위트를 실행해 봐야 합니다. fedify/ 디렉터리 안쪽에서 pnpm test 명령어를 통해 Node.js에서 테스트 스위트를 돌려 볼 수 있습니다:

cd fedify/
pnpm test

일부 테스트만 빠르게 실행해 보고 싶을 경우 --test-name-pattern 옵션을 활용하세요:

pnpm test --test-name-pattern verifyRequest

Bun에서도 잘 돌아가는지 확인하려면 fedify/ 디렉터리 안쪽에서 pnpm test:bun 명령어를 사용하세요:

pnpm test:bun

일부 테스트만 빠르게 실행해 보고 싶을 경우 마찬가지로 --test-name-pattern 옵션을 활용하세요:

pnpm test:bun --test-name-pattern verifyRequest

마지막으로, Cloudflare Workers에서도 잘 돌아가는지 검사해야 합니다. 이 경우에는 pnpm test:cfworkers 명령어를 활용하세요:

pnpm test:cfworkers

일부 테스트만 빠르게 실행해 보고 싶을 경우 인자로 부분 문자열 키워드를 넘기면 됩니다:

pnpm test:cfworkers verifyRequest

사실, 앞서 설명했던 deno task test-all 명령어는 한 번에 Deno, Node.js, Bun, Cloudflare Workers 모두에서 테스트 스위트를 실행하는 명령어입니다.

안내

테스트 실행 시 실패하는 케이스가 있나요? 그것 자체가 기여할 좋은 기회입니다. 실패하는 테스트가 성공하도록 직접 코드를 고쳐서 풀 리퀘스트를 올리셔도 좋고, 이슈 트래커에 이슈를 만들기만 해도 좋은 기여가 됩니다.

@fedify/cli: Fedify CLI 도구

@fedify/cli 패키지는 Fedify를 이용하여 ActivityPub 서버를 구현하는 개발자들을 위한 CLI 편의 도구로서, 주로 ActivityPub 서버 개발을 할 때 디버그나 테스트를 위해 필요한 기능들을 제공합니다. 라이브러리 패키지인 @fedify/fedify와 다르게 @fedify/cli는 패키지는 애플리케이션이기 때문에 코드를 수정한 뒤 바로 사용해 볼 수가 있습니다. 또한, 굳이 여러 런타임을 지원할 필요가 없기 때문에 Deno 환경만 신경쓰면 됩니다.

그런 이유로, @fedify/cli 패키지는 처음 기여하기에 좋습니다. 참고로 @fedif/cli는 CLI 애플리케이션 프레임워크로 Cliffy를 사용하고 있으니, 관련해서 궁금한 게 있다면 Cliffy 문서를 참고해 주세요.

일감 찾기

중요

오픈 소스 프로젝트에서는 할 일을 자발적으로 찾아야 합니다. 직장이 아니므로, 다른 누군가가 할 일을 할당해 주지 않습니다. 사실, 오픈 소스에서 활발하게 활동하는 프로그래머들은 단순히 소프트웨어 개발 실력이 좋은 게 아니라, 적절한 할 일을 잘 찾아내는 능력이 있습니다. 이 때 “적절하다”는 것은 자신의 실력으로 해낼 수 있을 정도의 난이도면서도 프로젝트에 임팩트를 낼 수 있는 것을 뜻합니다.

대부분의 오픈 소스 프로젝트는 할 일을 이슈 트래커에서 관리합니다. Fedify 역시 GitHub에서 제공하는 이슈 트래커로 할 일들을 관리하고 있습니다. 특별한 이유가 없는 한, 이슈는 기본적으로 영어로 작성되거나, 적어도 영어가 병기되어야 합니다. 영어가 익숙치 않은 분들은 Kagi 번역 등을 활용하시면 될 것 같습니다. 언어 때문에 어려우신 분은 멘토에게 도움을 청하세요.

이슈는 크게 세 종류로 나뉩니다:

피처 (feature)
말 그대로 새로운 기능을 뜻합니다.
버그 (bug)
기존에 있던 기능의 오작동을 뜻합니다.
태스크 (task)
신기능이나 버그 이외의 작업들을 가리킵니다. 예를 들면, 문서 수정 등이 여기에 속합니다.
미분류 (no type)
아직 분류되지 않은 이슈들인데, 이슈는 어떻게든 분류되어야 하므로 보통은 없습니다.

위의 분류와는 별개로, Fedify 이슈 트래커에서는 레이블을 구조화하여 활용하고 있습니다. 대부분의 레이블은 범례/레이블 이름 형식을 따르며, 대표적으로는 다음과 같은 것들이 있습니다:

difficulty/beginner
쉬운 난이도
good first issue
처음 기여하는 사람에게 적합
help wanted
도움 필요
type/documentation
문서 관련

안내

좀 더 자세히 확인하실 분은 전체 레이블 목록을 확인하세요.

여기서 여러분이 가장 주목하셔야 할 레이블은 바로 good first issue입니다. 해당 레이블이 붙은 이슈는 처음 기여하는 사람에게 적합하기 때문에, 여러분의 첫 기여 때 할 일을 찾을 때 도움이 됩니다. 이슈들을 찬찬히 읽어보시고 해 볼 만한 일감을 고르세요. 이슈를 읽어도 이해가 안 될 경우에는 댓글로 질문을 남기거나 멘토에게 질문하세요.

기여해 볼 이슈를 찾으셨다면, 해당 이슈를 이미 다른 사람이 진행중인지 확인하세요. 아무도 진행하고 있지 않다면 진행하겠다는 댓글을 이슈에 달아주세요.

과제

처음 기여할 이슈를 찾아 이슈에 댓글을 달아주세요. 이슈를 못 찾겠다면 멘토에게 도움을 요청하세요. 멘토가 기여할 만한 일을 함께 찾아줄 수 있습니다.

안내

굳이 이슈 트래커에 이미 있는 이슈 중에서만 고를 필요는 없습니다. Fedify를 써 보면서 개선할 부분을 발견하셨다면, 그걸 이슈로 만들어서 직접 해결하셔도 좋습니다. 사실, 오픈 소스의 많은 이슈들이 이슈를 제기한 사람에 의해 해결됩니다.

추가 정보 및 질문

본 문서에서 다루지 못한 내용도 많이 있을 것입니다. 아래 문서들은 부족한 부분을 좀 더 보충해 줄 수 있습니다:

본 문서를 읽다가 혹은 읽고 나서도 궁금한 점이 있다면 얼마든지 멘토에게 질문해 주세요. Discord 서버에서 질문하셔도 좋고, GitHub Discussions에 질문 글을 올리셔도 좋습니다.

Open source and Apple rant

woes... Recently I had another system merged into . Openrsync, for replacing rsync. I found out about it indirectly from the news, not from anybody at Apple. Ok, sure--same as when they merged mandoc. Since then, however, I've had a steady stream of mails (to my private addr, which is still in the manpage, and to the github repo) about the Apple fork. *I don't work there.* I even applied, ironically, to a job posting for systems daemons, with no response. I'd love to help these folks, but I don't know how the system was changed when merged (nothing pushed back upstream), nor am I in contact with anybody at Apple. It's not the users' faults: whom would they contact otherwise? So much for engaging the community...

Can you program GPUs and do you want to become a HERO? #linuxphone
community needs your help.

We are trying record video, and have most pieces working, but one is
missing: fast enough debayering. That means about 23MB/sec on #librem5.

Debayering is not hard; camera images have subpixels split on two
lines, which need to be corrected. They also use different color
representation, but that's fixable by some table lookup and two matrix
multiplies.

Librem 5 has Vivante GPU, 4 in-order CPU cores and 3GB RAM. My feeling
is that it should be fast enough for that. If task is for some reason
impossible, that would be good to know, too.

Image data looks like this

RGRGRG...
xBxBxB...
.........
.........

Task is to turn that into usual rgbrgb.... format. rgb = RGB * color
matrix, with table lookups for better quality. I can fix that once I
get an example.

I'm looking for example code (#pinephone would work, too), reasons it
can not be done... and boosts if you have friends that can program
GPUs. #gpu #opensource

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kurzer Nachtrag, ich möchte ja auch Lösungen liefern:

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

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.

We're currently in the process of selecting around 20 mentees who will start contributing to 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!

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.

The Data Rescue Project () 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."

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 💞

new release of , 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.

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.

new release of , 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.

This week we saw lots of FUD about , 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

reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comment

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 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.

“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 project can have a viable business model.”
@senficon: “This is right, and exactly what the @sovtechfund is addressing. In the end, maybe not every 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

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.

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 💞

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 💞

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.

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.

In this week's & News video, there's an X.org fork surrounded by some pretty weird controversies, we have Denmark beginning the switch to Linux and Open Source, and Google making changes to Android source code's release that will definitely make custom ROMs a lot harder to build:

The length of that list, as it is all very relevant, just goes to show how much 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!

On June 10th, Google released Android 16 to AOSP - but without Pixel device-specific source code. This unexpected change impacts all custom Android ROM development, including CalyxOS or others. Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is coming to end. Sources:
* grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/
* calyxos.org/news/2025/06/11/an
* androidauthority.com/google-an
* source.android.com/docs/setup/

* FYI AOSP isn't dead, but Google just landed a huge blow to custom ROM developers androidauthority.com/google-no

This is a s screenshot of a Discord conversation from "grapheneos.grapheneos.org" which reads: "yes we received information that AOSP is being discontinued they said the first step would be Android 16 dropping the Pixel repositories we didn't really believe it now we can see the first part has happened according to the source, the official Android is becoming closed source it will no doubt be continued as an open source project outside Google or a new Android company split from Google by the US court system it's possible this will all be reversed if it's split from Googlee".

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! 🎉

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.

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) -

…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

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.

@toxi@mastodon.thi.ng

— New version (v0.27.0) of 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:
github.com/thi-ng/genart-api/b

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 only)

Happy coding! :)

Show me the Pull Requests.

I keep hearing boosters / talking heads claiming that 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 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.

Considering that both and re-invented communication while was already there, makes more interesting.

The fact that DC didn't invent a new protocol for 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() for 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 in any other IM. However if you want something like guilds for a community, Matrix is the way to go.

BTW, DC currently lacks funding, thanks to what did with (). 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:

Edit2: Make sure to check WebXDC, apps shared in deltachat groups or DMs.

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.

is great and all but when a project's 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 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?

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.

Infographic titled "EMAIL GUIDE" from the "Purchase With Purpose" series, encouraging users to avoid big tech email providers (Gmail, iCloud Mail, Outlook) due to concerns like privacy, environment, and ethics. It highlights email services and clients supporting causes: Environmental 🌱, Profit Share 💰, and Open-Source 💻.

Two main sections:

    Email Clients (used independently or with servers):
    🔸 Thunderbird (Open-Source)
    🔸 EM Client (Profit Share)
    🔸 FairEmail (Open-Source, Android only)
    🔸 Mailspring (Open-Source, USA)

    Email Providers:
    Free Tier options:
    🔸 Atomic Mail (Open-Source)
    🔸 GMX (Environmental)
    🔸 Proton Mail (Privacy focus, Profit Share, Open-Source)
    🔸 Infomaniak Email (Environmental, Profit Share, Open-Source)
    🔸 Tuta (Environmental, Profit Share, Open-Source)

Eco-System providers (offer mobile app/tools):
🔸 Kolab Now (Open-Source)
🔸 Fastmail
🔸 Mailbox.org (Environmental, Open-Source)

"Need Help Choosing?" recommends:
🔸 Fastmail (ease of use)
🔸 Infomaniak Email (eco-system, free tier)
🔸 Tuta Mail (privacy)
🔸 Proton Mail (privacy, tools)

Other Excellent Options (mainly EU/US): Hushmail, Posteo, Mailfence, StartMail, Mailo, Runbox, Mail.com, Irocco.

Noted Controversies:
⚠️ Proton Mail CEO made a political statement—link to context provided.
⚠️ GMX and Mail.com are owned by the same parent company.

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) -

…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

@raccoonforfriendicaapp This weekend I took some time to investigate how much work would be needed to build an iOS version of the app, and it turned out that at least building and running a basic version of the app is doable with some minor changes (see here).

What do you think about it? Would you like to see a Raccoon on iOS too?

「 Perhaps the younger generation don't know anything about the past "evils" of Microsoft and naively believe that Microsoft is now the good friend to open source, but the truth is that all Microsoft acquisitions of open source projects is a business tactic that is put in place to improve Microsoft's loosing position to open source. It is a matter of control. And you should not host your open source project on GitHub 」

Had a wonderful time today at our second FediDev KR (@sprints.fedidev.kr) gathering at Turing's Apple (@TuringAppleDev) in !

We spent the day contributing to various 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!

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 fedialgo.thms.uk or on the maintainer’s official website at michelcrypt4d4mus.github.io/fe

Thanks @cryptadamist for the work you put into this!

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".

Nyt Tanskan toiseksi suurin kaupunki Aarhus päätti että kaikki MS lähtee, vaihtuu ja yms.
Samaan aikaan tukema -firma kaatuu konkurssiin.

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

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: foundation.gnome.org/membershi

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.

Exciting news for students!

We’re once again taking part in the Open Source Promotion Plan, one of the key initiatives in China.

This year, we’re inviting aspiring developers to create 2 new plugins to extend the functionality of the editors.

By joining the program, you’ll grow both technically and professionally while working on actual open-source projects.

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.

:friendica: :mastodon: :pixelfed: :funkwhale: :lemmy: :hubzilla: :peertube:

At least, that's the promise. 🙂

The website joinfediverse.wiki/Hosting_an_ 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.

I figured out how to use TiddlyWiki as an alternative to iPhoto/Bridge/etc and spin up a gallery from a directory of images.

So far it seems very performant. I'm pretty excited about this, as I haven't been able to quickly overview the thousands and thousands of photos I've amassed over the years.

Internally debating whether I should pick up a T43 and using it as my main machine. Currently I have an X260 running and an X1 Carbon 6th gen running and but I don't have a machine I can dedicate solely to NetBSD. I also got my Raspberry Pi 4 running . 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!

Next step: radicle.xyz maybe?

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 \
  server start --xui

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.

@raccoonforfriendicaapp This weekend I took some time to investigate how much work would be needed to build an iOS version of the app, and it turned out that at least building and running a basic version of the app is doable with some minor changes (see here).

What do you think about it? Would you like to see a Raccoon on iOS too?

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)
fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/i-w

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.

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)...

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 \

At the top, there are two icons: the Skype logo on the left and the Jitsi logo on the right, with the text "jitsi.org" below them. The message reads, "Thank you for being part of Skype. Skype retired in May 2025. You can use Jitsi, a free and open-source video conferencing platform, for messaging and calling with your contacts." Below this message, there are logos for five alternative communication platforms: Element, Session, Signal, and Mumble. Each logo is accompanied by its respective website URL: element.io, getsession.org, signal.org, and mumble.info. The background features a gradient of light purple and white, with a subtle texture.

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 jitsi.org/

Matrix (Element)

Matrix is an open standard for decentralized communication, and Element is its flagship client. It supports text messaging, voice and video calls, and file sharing. Matrix's decentralized nature allows users to host their own servers, providing greater control over their data.

- 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 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.

Explore Session at getsession.org/

Signal

Signal is known for its strong focus on privacy and security, offering end-to-end encryption for all communications, including voice calls, video calls, and messaging.

- End-to-End Encryption: All communications are secure and private.
- Cross-Platform: Available on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.

Download Signal at signal.org/

Mumble

Mumble is primarily designed for voice communication, offering low-latency, high-quality voice chat. It's often used by gamers and communities that require clear and reliable voice communication.

- Low-Latency: Ensures smooth and clear voice communication.
- Cross-Platform: Available on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.

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 really open for ?

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).

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.
• Rochko tritt als CEO zurück
• Neue Non-Profit führt Mastodon
• Fokus auf Transparenz und Stabilität
• Weiterhin dezentral, werbefrei und offen
• Entwicklerrolle bleibt bei Eugen

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

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.
• Rochko tritt als CEO zurück
• Neue Non-Profit führt Mastodon
• Fokus auf Transparenz und Stabilität
• Weiterhin dezentral, werbefrei und offen
• Entwicklerrolle bleibt bei Eugen

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+):

blog.trailofbits.com/2025/05/0

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.

@toxi@mastodon.thi.ng

🚀 — 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:

thi.ng/tensors

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):

- docs.thi.ng/umbrella/arrays/fu
- docs.thi.ng/umbrella/bidir-ind
- docs.thi.ng/umbrella/transduce

New release of (customizable for your timeline) has a couple of cool features:

1. Configuration presets (so you can easily put discussions or trending toots at the top of your 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.

Been reading about a new 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 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 into the design (Scout has made similar claims).

The real challenge for cybersecurity experts isn’t just detecting cyber threats – it’s turning the raw intelligence into actionable defence mechanisms and managing the ever-growing arsenal of detection rules.

The OpenTide software, now on code.europa.eu, enables the Commission’s Security Operations Centre to deploy detection rules efficiently, while preserving critical knowledge on cyber threats and defence strategies.

Desde hace un par de días, @phanpy hace que las barras superior e inferior se muestren con esos colores en Android 14, utilizándolo como aplicación progresiva (pwa) en Firefox, cuando hasta ahora,vdichas barras, respetaban el tema negro elegido. ¿Algún fallo en la interface, que hace que Android las muestre así, @cheeaun?.

He probado con otros teléfonos con Android 12 y Android 11 y ocurre lo mismo. 🤔

大家好, 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.

Great article about seven FOSS-based projects the EU should support now instead of getting distracted:

@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 . , , etc.) but I'm not sure if it might provide more value to the whole community by also supporting systems (such like , , , and more).

I'm not sure if the project still provides a value for the community right, now.

What do you think?

@toxi@mastodon.thi.ng

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+ 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)? 🤔

올해 행사는 어떤 행사였으면 하는지, 관련해 어떤 주제나 프로그램이 있었으면 하는지 차 한잔하고 과자도 먹으면서 편하게 이야기하는 시간을 가지고자 하니 관심 있으신 분들은 많이 참여해 주시기를 바랍니다!

I keep hearing boosters / talking heads claiming that 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 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.

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.

Short announcement as we approach the end of the week -- 'This Week in Self-Hosted' is officially being rebranded to 'Self-Host Weekly'.

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.

@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.

💸 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.

@ueeu

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.

Chez comme dans la plupart des partis, l'autonomie numérique est principalement un élément de discours.

Dans les faits, les résultats du congrès sont publiés sur Google Drive et depuis un format xlsx.

Courage, @Greguti !

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.

the problem with on is that they can be manipulated

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.

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: foundation.gnome.org/membershi

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.

@toxi@mastodon.thi.ng

— I just released a new version (v8.0.0) of 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 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.

If you contribute in some way to GNOME, are you already a GNOME Foundation member? If not, you should apply ASAP: foundation.gnome.org/membershi

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.

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 update to say that I've already replaced the 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 ) 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 thi.ng/color & 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:

- thi.ng/pixel (custom pixel format definition/compilation)
- thi.ng/pixel-convolve (custom image convolution kernel compilation)
- 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...

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.

I'm looking for a alternative to live surveys like those offered at menti.com by mentimeter.

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?

🚀 Boosts welcome!

With a small amount of prep, we can help users to help themselves, rather than needing maintainer attention, for support requests that we could do without.

@toxi@mastodon.thi.ng

In recent years every spring seems to turn into a period of _massive_ refactoring & restructuring in — maybe it's a form of spring cleaning, even though the reasons[1] are not seasonal... Currently spending my nights reworking the 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...)

+ 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 🇺🇸.

See: old.reddit.com/r/BoycottUnited

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

Just pushed a new version of 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: mastodon.thi.ng/@toxi/11426498)

@alevsk@infosec.exchange

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 () 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

Nice to have

  • Possibly using , not
  • 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

Absolutely not

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.

I live in the country with my partner and our 6 , 3 , and where I enjoy my many interests. ( and I'm getting more into / )

When I say flow art, I mean spinning props like etc.

I love . I studied and as a kid, took in uni, and I'm currently studying and . I also dabble in and sometimes and I'm learning to write faster. Cree is my favourite language and Spanish is my second.

I've been cursed since childhood with that lovely trifecta of and . 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:

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.

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 cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubunt for more info.

This is neat: the United Nations have adopted a new set of 8 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.

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)! 😄

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".

I'm looking for an 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. 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 .

Any suggestions?

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:

Ja Open-Source is aktiv und sind schon lange nicht "nur ein Gebastel" 🤓

Gerade eben in den letzten Tagen bekamen @GIMP, @Blender so auch @peertube im Fediverse ihre Updates in aktuelle maßgebliche Versionen 👍

P.S. Ich freue mich und Toote davon, auch wenn ich es selber selten nutze.
P.P.S. Manche Menschen müssen auch hier im Fediverse mötzeln, dass es nicht perfekt sei aber je nach Anwendung ist es anders 🙄

The FreeBSD team conquered a massive 7,000 bug backlog 💪 Once overwhelmed by thousands of open issues, the team, with the help of data visualization tools, turned chaos into clarity.

Their approach involved setting up custom dashboards using GrimoireLab, which provided valuable insights into their Bugzilla system. They introduced new metrics like "unattended" and "abandoned" tickets to prioritize their efforts.

I had to solve a problem where a PowerShell script would be distributed to clients that had to send mails. Putting email credentials in the script was not an option, so I put together a web-accessible API that allows me to send mail from a script without putting credentials at risk or relying on third-party mail libraries.

GIMP 3.0 bringt nicht-destruktive Filter, bessere HiDPI-Unterstützung und erweiterte Farbräume. Künftig soll es schneller neue Funktionen geben.«

Ich habe es erst jetzt gesehen aber ich nutze @GIMP auch rel. selten. Die lange Entwicklungszeit ist nichts per-se was negatives. Für Fotos & Grafiken auf Webseiten lässt es sich mMn gut nutzen.

The rise of Gimp 3

Big kudos to the 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!

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.

I have a Mastodon feature request. Could there please be a specialized emoji for the 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 logo, logo, etc. Basically, every other federated network (? ?) would likewise deserve an emoji.

This is so that Mastodonians can draw attention to the accounts they have on other 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.

Linux Is Best's avatar
Linux Is Best

@Linux@mk.absturztau.be

For 4 months now (since November 2024), I have been using, Windows. 🤯

Fedora v41 was released in October 2024, and normally, Ultramarine Linux (UM, for short) is quick to release their spin of Fedora.

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.

@freespiritlinux@mast.linuxat.de

Mein Weg zu Linux!

Mein Einstieg in die Welt von Linux verlief ähnlich wie bei vielen anderen.
Mein erster war ein /#Amstrad CPC 464, gefolgt vom Commodore 64 und später dem 500+. Diese Geräte markierten den Beginn meiner Leidenschaft für Videospiele.
Anschließend kam ein PC mit einem 386 Prozessor und einem Internetanbieter von . 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 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 , das damals als das ultimative 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 , 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 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.

✅ Create calendar entries via the springboard

The text field on the springboard anticipates what you want to do. To do this, you must enter a future time, e.g: Friday morning or tomorrow morning, optionally with a time.

The system will suggest “Add to calendar” and you can complete the entry in the calendar by tapping on it.

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.

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.

@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?

@toxi@mastodon.thi.ng

— One of the recent (already very useful!) new package additions to is:

thi.ng/leaky-bucket

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 thi.ng/server to utilize this new package...

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 would appreciate if people could help upvote github.com/orgs/community/disc to get more attention.

GitHub staff won't even tell me how much data they've hidden from me, which is quite discouraging :(

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.

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. China has been embracing RISC-V in recent years due to its lower costs and geopolitical neutrality.

This was one of my first thoughts when playing through Museum of All Things: turn it into a speed run! 🤣

I’ll definitely be following along, this sounds chaotic in the best way. If you’re on Linux, grab the game off of Flathub; otherwise, head to may.as/moat for other platforms.

I don't think its an illusion. is increasingly breaking into the mainstream, in various ways. You don't mention :-) but it *has* been a massive success.

I am convinced that even the much joked about 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 war ein /#Amstrad CPC 464, gefolgt vom Commodore 64 und später dem 500+. Diese Geräte markierten den Beginn meiner Leidenschaft für Videospiele.
Anschließend kam ein PC mit einem 386 Prozessor und einem Internetanbieter von . 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 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 , das damals als das ultimative 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 , 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 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.

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 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.

It's so wild that people in 2025 still say things like "we need to leave politics out they are divisive".

My beautiful 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.

We often speak of companies’ support of 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*.

Drill

ldns includes a DNS lookup utility named drill. 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.

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.

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 network stacks can be adapted for diverse applications beyond their original purpose.

We already bought the domain socialfolio.me

Also the Github repos are public now.
Frontend: github.com/Hiebeler/socialfoli
Backend: github.com/Hiebeler/socialfoli

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 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:
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: docs.thi.ng/umbrella/#webgl and then clicking on "examples" for this package, then opens the tag browser for WebGL: demo.thi.ng/umbrella/thing-bro 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 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.

Perhaps the best part is, YOU can contribute, too! Seriously, it’s all open source, and you don’t have to be involved in an Endless learning program to participate. In fact, I’d love to see what folks can come up with within the existing constraints of the game…

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 operating systems like before under a permissive license. Companies like took their work and made without giving back.

is gaining mainstream attention because the linux kernel uses the license. Any derivative works of the Linux kernel should be open source. The 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 never a user there, but IIUC livejournal was opensource but some ppl wanted a darker aesthetic, so they made deadjournal.

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:

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.

Black and White image of female astronaut holds hand above head toward large halo

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.

Learn more about the technical aspects and platforms of the Fediverse from these Symfony Station articles.

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.

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 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) ->

Now you can say we are already earning some money because we sell Pixelix for 2€ on Google Play Store. And that's true, but the app is also available completely free on F-Droid and Github, which means the vast majority is getting it from there. (3/4) ->

We are working on something pretty exciting. We want to bring Pixelix to Apple devices! Exactly the same app with same functionality, same design and running natively on iOS (Made possible by Kotlin Multiplatform for those who know).

But for that we need to buy at least one MacBook. 💻 (2/4) ->

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?

Another workshop done and glad I got a chance to introduce colleagues to the I Ching hexagrams as an example for 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 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 , 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...

Dumping open source for proprietary rarely pays off: Better to stick a fork in it zdnet.com/article/dumping-open by @sjvn

Switching from shipping your project as to proprietary is a loser's move both for your code's quality and your business.

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...

In AI there's no source and conflicts with the 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.

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:

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.

Black and White image of female astronaut holds hand above head toward large halo

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.

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.

Today, we endorse the @osi‘s . 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.

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 😅
