Friends don't let friends substack. Not only is it a Nazi haven, they also require age verification.
Until I scored this putrid popup, I was stupidly willing to attempt to read Max Chandler Mather re: making private services public - such as childcare.
Here's a thought Max: make your media public + #opensource too.

Website for Cairo Dock

https://www.glx-dock.org/

#KDE #Gnome #Cairo #library #Xfce4 #airdrop #localsend #kdeconnect #ftp #Linux #ARM #SBC #programming #opensource #technology

In extension of what I said here I want to expand on the joy I have with Cairo Dock coded by the GNOME team **

When you first spawn Cairo Dock it greets you with a friendly requester, asking if you want OpenGL or standard
FX created by your fully personizable Cairo Dock.

The dock defaults with a exeptionally usuable configuration out of the box. The first thing I did was seek how to spawn it from the keyboard. I only use Xorg for gfx output, of my code / programs; Im a sh warrior.

It was as straight forward as it can be
* open up the requester with right mouse
* click Cairo Doc
* choose configure
* tab on configuration
* click short keys

Every configuration tab has a logical layout and this is still in easy mode, just like VideoLan VLC has. You can later play in advanced mode and go super deep into finetuning your Cairo dock. It evan has _backgrounds_ to be confiured, if you choose to.
Cairo dock also defaults to fading out when a program of yours overlaps it, so it's out of the way, without you needing to manually hide it.

I configured a weather addon which uses https://Open-meteo.com I only needed to tell it the longtitude and lattitude of the districts I wanted in SR/SA and was done

Cairo Dock is a real fun dock to play with. Super configurable and customizable. I use it along side my XFCe4 panel and they peacefully co exist. I did much more but now want to move onto another subject

** Note:
Cairo-Dock was spawned in July 2007, when Fabounet proposed a first version on the ubuntu-fr.org forum.

This means Cairo dock has its own independent programming team. So I hereby correct myself

BTW: I entered this toot in a standardnotes window since the web viewport is too small and the android sucks at getting fast input. Nothing beats a physical keyboard

You will own nothing and be happy. You will rent your computing power from the cloud. You pay a subscription for the privilege of using a computer.

AI demand is artificially spiking DRAM prices and Big Tech is pushing "AI PCs," the squeeze is on to force us into a rental model.

Reject this future.

Keep your hardware local.

Do you want an alternative to airdrop? You can go two ways KDEConnect, which I covered already and am running

You can also go to localsend!
It works on all platforms Linux Android Apple win64

https://github.com/localsend/localsend?tab=readme-ov-file

#airdrop #localsend #kdeconnect #ftp #Linux #ARM #SBC #programming #opensource #technology

I should note that you can not make the mistake of comparing KDEconnect extended capabilities with those of localsend.

They operate on totally different realms.

KDEconnect has a set of plugins which work like functional libraries. There so many that I will have to include a screenshot, just to give you a sample of what KDEconnect can actually do.

Local follows The Unix Principle; it does One thing in a does it very well.

In case you've gotten curious; you can install KDEconnect with its accompanying libraries on another working environment apart from KDE. You do not need to run a full KDE Desktop Environment.

Over here I run KDEconnect on machines which have Xfce4 running, while it's counterpart runs on a couple of Androids.
KDEconnect also runs on Ancient Android Operating Systems

The programming team of KDE does not care where you run it's wonderful software as long as you can enjoy it.

The same goes for The GNOME programming team. I run Cairo Dock and GPartED also on Xfce4. In fact I run many Gnome libraries in Xfce4 to have crucial functionality in many parts of the Xfce4 Desktop Environment. Without those wonderful libraries I would run a crippled version of Xfce4.

I will include screenshots from a desktop computer where I will show you that I run both GNOME software and KDE software in Xfce4 DE

#OpenSource #DigitalSovereignty #France #Lyon #FOSS #Linux #PublicSectorTech #Matrix #OnlyOffice #PostgreSQL

Last weekend, I attended FOSDEM, the largest Open Source conference in Europe. The last time that I attended was exactly a decade ago, and I had forgotten what it was really about.

But this became instantly obvious when (nearly) the first slide during the Opening Remarks shouted loudly: "Open Source has always been political". The emotional introduction instantly brought home what Open Source is really about: Activism to break the chains of "big tech". Although big tech wasn't so big when they started the conference over 25 years ago, it is now more required than ever.

As I remembered that it can be really hard to get into the rooms where talks are held — FOSDEM can be really busy — I had made a plan to divide my two days up in roughly four blocks to follow talks in the same room. I also made sure I showed up a talk (or two before), to have a better chance of having a seat in the talks I wanted to attend.

I spend most of Saturday following talks in the Geospatial and Legal & Policy tracks. Although Geospatial, mostly through OpenStreetMap, is my fun open data involvement, the Legal & Policy tracks were good to see.

In From Policy To Practice; Open Source in The Dutch Government, I learned from Gina Plat how the (old and new) Dutch governments are now pushing ahead with Open Source. With the more volatile situation in the USA, where constant threats of tariffs and other economic measure, they seem to now have understood, that it is vital to build up their own stacks. Although there have been policy and plans before, there is now also funding available to reduce the liability on US big tech stacks and software. It's not perfect, but there is certainly progress.

After more geo fun in the afternoon, I attended Neil Brown's "Online Safety" laws: reflections for FOSS projects (video). Although I am familiar with the topic, and have written about this before to my MP, it was good to see Neil explain how this affects open source projects specifically. The main take-away here was that although you can follow the law(s) to the latter, it is likely going to be more important to check what risk there actually is for users, and for the project itself, when the regulator comes knocking on the door.

Talks on regulations, mostly in the EU form, is what my piqued my interest next, and I spend most of my Sunday morning in the Open Source & EU Policy track.

I arrived early enough to catch the Digital Omnibus: is the EU's tech simplification a Risk or Opportunity from Open Source. How EU Policy is created is often complicated. This talk critically explored the challenges that policymakers have to make the regulatory burden on EU projects and products lighter. At the same time, regulation should not get in the way of innovation and competitiveness, but also not be so light that the general protections towards user privacy and control are watered down too far.

I was mainly aiming to see "The Fediverse and the EU's Digital Service Act". Jordan Maris moderated this panel discussion, with Sandra Barthel, Alexandra Geese (MEP for the Greens/EFA group), and Felix Hlatky (executive director of Mastodon GmbH), answering questions. The whole discussion was interesting, my main takeaways were the explanations by Alexandra on the DSA.

The provisions under the DSA are frequently derided by the American tech bros and their government allies as "censorship". Alexandra eloquently argued that the provisions in the DSA are explicitly meant to do the opposite. The DSA requires large operators to explain what their algorithms do, and how they work, to (try to) prevent the doom-spiral towards hate speech and othering. These algorithms have been designed to keep users engaged so that they see more advertisements. And the best way to keep users on your platform is to make them feel angry about something — usually vulnerable groups of people.

While listening to the panel, the though occurred to me that the approach by the EU is very different from the approach across the ocean. Where there the mentality is "work fast and break things", with no regulation to protect people's rights succinctly, in the EU the approach is strong regulation to prevent harm.

But that does require that the provisions are properly enforced, with enough resources, and sometimes with enough political will to not kowtow to the Americans with their tantrums. I suspect that we will see more of these tantrums in a short while, now that the EU is more keen to show its fangs as well.

On this side of the pond all is not well either. The UK's Online Safety Act is already a sad state of affairs, especially now there are rumours that they are considering banning age gating VPNs as well. But Age Verification as a measure to "save the children" is popping up in many jurisdictions. Age Verification and Assurance are antithetical to the open nature of the Web and free expression, and will not work regardless.

Where the focus now mainly is on websites themselves, there is a distinct possibility that regulators will want to enforce age on service level (app stores/package managers), on browser level, and on operating system level. These all conflict with open source variants (F-droid, Firefox, Linux), unless you withdraw the freedom that users have on what to run on their devices.

Nobody has any idea how a wide roll-out of Age Verification and Assurance will work out. It's like going straight to a release without beta testing. Preventing the broadening of Age Verification and Assurance is where the next fight for the open web and freedom of expression now must be.

We don't have the luxury of sitting on our hands, and as the opening slides of FOSDEM indicated that "Open Source has always been political", the closing remarks were equally pungent: We can't afford to not be politically active, and that's why we must engage with politicians. FOSDEM has fanned the flames in me for doing more again. Stay tuned!

And remember: "If we lose our democracies, Open Source is irrelevant and goes away".

Ich freu‘ mich wirklich über jede Reaktion, die über das Fediverse in diesen Blog zurückfließt. Dafür habe ich ihn ja gebaut und deshalb schreibe ich (fast) jeden Tag. Aber all die „Favoriten“ und „Reposts“ sind nur Signale – die kann jede:r so interpretieren, wie es gerade genehm ist. Kommentare dagegen, sprechen für sich selbst. Deshalb bedeuten sie mir am meisten. Aber damit hört es ja noch lange nicht auf… Vor einigen Wochen hat dieser Blog schon wieder mal die Grenzen des Mediums (wenn ich das Fediverse mal für den Moment als solches bezeichnen darf?) überwunden.

Da hat er wohl recht, der @TheMorpheus Linux und die gesamte Open-Source-Bewegung haben in den vergangenen Jahren einen Breakpoint erreicht. Spätestens mit Ollama und Deepseek ist es endgültig und unbestreitbar die absolute Hochtechnologie in allen Bereichen, was Software betrifft. Es ist auch für Unternehmen und Forschungseinrichtungen oder allgemein gesellschaftliche Player keine Frage mehr, ob man das lustige Anarcho-Nerd-Projekt unterstützt, sondern man muss es nutzen, will man irgendwie konkurrenzfähig bleiben. Selbst die deutschen Beamten fahren ihre Ochsenkarren bald mit Linux auch wenn man es ihnen nicht sagen wird, damit sie nicht aufwachen (die Geschichte lehrt uns, dass ein aufgewachter deutscher Beamter eine echte Gefahr für die umliegenden Gemeinden darstellt).

Konnte man als interessierter Freund der Bewegung vor 10 Jahren noch gut informiert sein, welche Projekte gerade am Start sind, ist das heute unmöglich. FOSS ist in alle Bereiche vorgedrungen und die Superschurken haben es nicht gemerkt. So super können die dann nicht sein. Wir haben die Macht übernommen, weil es eine ganz andere Macht ist als die klassischen Machtverhältnisse, die immer zentralisiert sind und waren. Man kann eine demokratische Welt bilden, ohne König, ohne Parlamente, ohne Plenum, und trotzdem oder gerade deswegen auf die einzelnen individuellen Dinge eingehen, auch wenn sie sich widersprechen sollten. Das ist eine vollkommen neue Art, die Welt zu betrachten, und wir sind dabei. Žižek hat vor der Umnachtung immer gesagt „Es kommt darauf an, ihnen die Eier abzuschneiden.“ Und irgendwann schauen sie an sich herunter und fragen sich, wo ihre Eier sind. Und obwohl es schon zu spät ist, haben sie ihre Kastrierung noch nicht mal bemerkt und zombien herum..

Unfortunately #OpenSource is #US controlled anyway.

We can hope to sneak some patch in, as with #xzutils, but there's no way to make #Chromium or #Android development "sovereign".
Try hard fork them.

Same for "open standards": what if a standard (#QUIC?) only serves the need of US #BigTech #hyperscalers and surveillance (0-RTT?)

Then sure, while getting rid of US Tech it would be wise to get rid of proprietary software too.

But #DigitalSovereignty is about breaking free of an evil empire.

Just a gentle reminder that #Chromium, #Android, #Kubernetes and even Microsoft #DotNet are distributed under #OpenSource licenses.

Good luck at turing their evolution to an "international cooperation".

Unless #NATO is your model of such "cooperation", btw.

I'm a software developer with 40 years' professional experience, lucky enough to be considering early retirement. I love writing code and don't want to stop. I'm keen to give something back and contribute to one or more open source projects.

The questions are, to what shall I contribute, and how do I get started?

My skills are mainly C++, having spent much of the past decade programmatically dismantling and reassembling Microsoft Office files. I'm quite happy to learn Rust or Go, but don't really like webby front-endy ux stuff.

Any suggestions for a worthy project to which I could contribute? Please boost if you can.

We have accomplished enclosure. My battery box is now an actual box - with sides and a top and everything!

I'll get some wide, stainless washers to cover up the slightly 'imperfect' holes.

Here it is in place in the enginge bay with the HVJB (high voltage junction box) sitting on top. Looks pretty good.

I still need some sort of anchors to lift the box with (it will weight almost 100kg when it's fully assembled). I'm thinking about getting 4 u-bolts and welding them to the top of the frame (and cut out little notches in the lid).

I'll also need a few tabs on the bottom somewhere to bolt it in.

If we don’t apply, enforce, adopt and embrace Open Source in our public and government institutions we risk to lose our democracies.

#YouTube vs. #PeerTube: Wie ihr wisst, setze ich mich schon länger für die Verwendung von #OpenSource Lösungen ein.
Mein einziger persönlicher Wehrmutstropfen ist YouTube. Ich nutze YouTube über #FreeTube auf #Linux an stationären Geräten und #NewPipe auf #GrapheneOS am Smartphone; sonst konsequent gar nicht.
Mich würde interessieren, welche PeerTube Instanz ihr empfehlenswert findet und warum. Nutzt ihr selber PeerTube im Alltag regelmässig, oder steht ihr vor ähnlichen "Problemen"?

Nach dem sehr eindrucksreichen Vortrag über Reflexion in Go geht's nun darum wie wir unsere Rechnungen bezahlen können wenn wir in der Linux und Open Source Welt arbeiten. Ich bin gespannt.

Like always, I'm attending only the first day which mean the day begins very early in the morning. This year, #Sovereignty was clearly one of the most important topics, but I also had some great talks at the #Proxmox stand, with the guys at Vates (#XCPng) and of course at the #FreeBSD and #illumos stand. Sadly, they were in the very last corner of the floor hall in building H. Hope they still got enough attention there!

While listening to discussions about federated systems and protocols at #fosdem (like the one I’m currently using): I realized something.

It recently resonated with me through some past and ongoing projects: when people are afraid of federation, they call it “balkanization” or “fragmentation.”

Sorry for the wording @aristot73

A nice graffiti seen in Paris. The toot is about federation but that’s exactly that. Benefiting from the power of everyone without trying to enforce them in a centralized model.

Wie der Linux‑Kernel seine Zukunft absichert!

Die Linux‑Kernel‑Community hat nach über 30 Jahren Projektgeschichte erstmals einen formalen Project Continuity Plan verabschiedet. Ziel dieses Dokuments ist es, verbindlich zu regeln, wie die technische Gesamtverantwortung für den Linux‑Kernel neu organisiert wird, falls der derzeitige Haupt‑Maintainer Linus Torvalds unerwartet ausfällt oder sich planmäßig aus seiner Rolle zurückzieht. Damit reagiert das Projekt auf ein bislang bestehendes strukturelles Risiko, da nahezu alle finalen Merge‑Entscheidungen zentral bei einer einzelnen Person liegen.

Der Continuity Plan verzichtet bewusst auf die Benennung eines festen Nachfolgers. Stattdessen definiert er einen prozessorientierten Ansatz zur Bestimmung der künftigen Projektleitung. Im Ereignisfall ist ein Organizer üblicherweise der Organisator des zuletzt abgehaltenen Linux Maintainer Summit, ersatzweise der Vorsitzende des Technical Advisory Board (TAB) der Linux Foundation verpflichtet, innerhalb von 72 Stunden ein Entscheidungsgremium einzuberufen. Dieses Gremium setzt sich aus den eingeladenen Teilnehmern des letzten Maintainer Summit sowie Mitgliedern des Technical Advisory Board zusammen.

Das einberufene Gremium hat einen Zeitraum von bis zu zwei Wochen, um über die zukünftige Struktur der Kernel‑Leitung zu beraten und eine Entscheidung herbeizuführen. Der Plan lässt dabei mehrere Organisationsmodelle ausdrücklich zu. Neben der Ernennung eines einzelnen neuen Haupt‑Maintainers sind auch kollektive Führungsmodelle oder alternative Governance Strukturen möglich. Die getroffene Entscheidung ist der Kernel‑Community anschließend transparent und öffentlich zu kommunizieren.

Mit diesem Verfahren soll insbesondere das sogenannte Bus‑Factor‑1‑Risiko reduziert werden, das sich aus der bisherigen Konzentration der finalen Verantwortung auf Linus Torvalds ergibt. Der Artikel weist darauf hin, dass in der aktuellen Maintainer‑Struktur Greg Kroah‑Hartman, langjähriger Maintainer der stabilen Kernel‑Releases, faktisch als naheliegender Kandidat gelten könnte. Der Continuity Plan vermeidet jedoch bewusst eine solche Festlegung, um im Bedarfsfall flexibel auf personelle, organisatorische und technische Rahmenbedingungen reagieren zu können.

Der Plan ist nicht als Hinweis auf einen unmittelbar bevorstehenden Führungswechsel zu verstehen. Linus Torvalds ist derzeit 56 Jahre alt, weiterhin aktiv als Haupt Maintainer tätig und hat nach Angaben des Artikels keine Absicht, sich in absehbarer Zeit aus dem Projekt zurückzuziehen. Vielmehr stellt der Project Continuity Plan eine präventive Maßnahme dar, die der langfristigen Stabilität eines zentralen Open‑Source‑Infrastrukturprojekts dient. Vor dem Hintergrund einer alternden Maintainer Basis und zunehmender Schwierigkeiten bei der Gewinnung neuer Kernel Maintainer schafft der Plan einen klar definierten Rahmen für den Umgang mit einem möglichen Führungsvakuum.
