#openSource

#WhatsMissing: A #narrowband-friendly #ActivityPub #Client / #Server - System that allows people to #post and communicate even on extremely narrowband connections like #Iridium (espechally #ShortBurstData) and similar.
- Potentially even #AFSK over #CB-Radio, #LoRa, #Moonbounce'd comms and others... So way below #NBIoT bandwiths.

Basically something that could work within the few bytes of an #SBD transmission, using #TOTP with short TTL for authentification and is so brutally simple that one could manually send/recieve messages/posts with #curl (or #wget) and even support "#legacy" systems without a #proxy like #FrogFind in between (tho that is also an option)...

A bit like #ntfy in terms of simplicity.
- With like a simple, short message:
```
curl -d "test message" domain.example/@xsample&totp=1234567890
```
Which comes out to 62 Bytes or 9,45¢ [U$D] in costs over #IridiumSBD. [excl. baseline fees]...

Open Source – Schlüssel zu Souveränität in der digitalen öffentlichen Infrastruktur

@dirkschroedter Minister für Digitalisierung aus dem deutschen Bundesland Schleswig-Holstein spricht über die Vision und Erfahrung mit Open Source.

Ein paar Auszüge:

> Bei Digitaler Souveränität geht es nicht um Autarkie, sondern um Transparent und Kontrollmöglichkeiten: Nur mit Open Source können wir diese Kriterien erreichen.

> Open Source ist Souveränitätsanker.

> 2025 wurden so bereits 15 mio. € an Lizenzkosteneinsparungen in Open Source, regionale Expertise, Resilienz und Innovation investiert um eine schrittweise Migration mithilfe von starken Open Source Unternehmen zu ermöglichen.

> So förtert das Bundesland SH einen Beitrag zum Erreichen der UN Ziele 9, 11, 16 und 17.

#OpenSource im Unternehmen funktioniert!
Die Technik tut, was sie soll - die Herausforderung liegt eher im Umstellungsprozess. Das hat Holger Franck mit seinem Team von Bergwerk IT aus Schwerin gestern beim @webmontagkiel deutlich gemacht.

Umstellungen aber sind immer eine Herausforderung, egal ob man von Microsoft Office auf M365 oder bspw. Nextcloud umstellt. Man muss sich darum kümmern und am besten stehen Geschäftsführung UND IT-Abteilung hinter der Umstellung, um beste Voraussetzungen für ein Gelingen zu haben. Den Hinweis von Holger fand ich noch einmal wichtig.

Meine Motivation für diesen Talk war, dass mir Unternehmen sagen, dass sie zu Open-Source wollen und keinen Dienstleister finden und Dienstleister sagen, dass sie keine Kunden finden. Wir sagen: fangt an!

Muchos intentan asociar el rótulo de open source como «libre de culpa y cargo». Y siguen mezclando peras con manzanas. El hecho de que un modelo sea open source no garantiza que sea ético, transparente, confiable ni con seguridad jurídica. Stable Diffusion se lanzó como open source y es la génesis del mal en todo este asunto.

• ¿Y qué pasa con los modelos de código abierto que son gratuitos? El hecho de que un modelo sea open source (código abierto) no garantiza que sea ético, transparente, confiable ni con seguridad jurídica. Stable Diffusion se lanzó como open source y es la manzana podrida que nos trajo hasta donde estamos hoy. Sta­bil­ity AI Sta­bil­ity AI, founded by Emad Mostaque, is based in Lon­don. Sta­bil­ity AI funded LAION, a Ger­man orga­ni­za­tion that is cre­at­ing ever-larger image datasets—with­out con­sent, credit, or com­pen­sa­tion to the orig­i­nal artists—for use by AI com­pa­nies. Sta­bil­ity AI is the devel­oper of Sta­ble Dif­fu­sion. Sta­bil­ity AI trained Sta­ble Dif­fu­sion using the LAION dataset. Sta­bil­ity AI also released Dream­Stu­dio, a paid app that pack­ages Sta­ble Dif­fu­sion in a web inter­face. https://imagegeneratorlitigation.com/ https://www.instagram.com/p/DXvnX92Dmer/?img_index=6

La leyenda urbana de «entrenar tu propio modelo de IAG» sigue siendo un anzuelo para monetizar tutoriales, cursos, masterclass y demás productos que los gurúes y promotores de la IA generativa usan para seguir lucrando a costa de todos los autores vulnerados. ¡No se dejen engañar!

• Bueno, pero hay tutoriales para «entrenar tu propio modelo de IAG» Cuando alguien dice que ha «entrenado su propio modelo de IA», normalmente está utilizando una terminología incorrecta y en realidad ha ajustado un modelo existente. Ajustar o refinar un modelo existente, o una parte del mismo, no elimina el problema de base. https://www.instagram.com/p/DXvnX92Dmer/?img_index=8

Recently I got asked about my @BoxyBSD@bsd.cafe project, which offers free VPS instances of vary #BSD based systems for learning and educational purposes and I'm happy to share that this projects remains available. Several things could finally be clarified to continue this service to make sure people can learn and practice on real #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD systems to #RUNBSD. Also, BoxyBSD starts moving over to #Sylve on #bhyve.

But not only that! We could also get some more new resources and locations to scale and this also brings up another new project for #free Linux #VPS instances at https://boxedtux.com (Fedi: @BoxedTux@mastodon.social) where people will be able to learn and practice on different #Linux based distributions (e.g., #Debian, #Ubuntu, #Rocky,...). BoxedTux utilizes #Proxmox clusters as a foundation.

Hope you like this small update... Over & out!
