Na busca por alternativas ao Microsoft Office, muita gente no Fediverso tem recomendado o OnlyOffice. Eles tem conta no Mastodon, postam bastante coisa, dizem ser open source etc.

Porém o LibreOffice postou no blog deles uma crítica ao OnlyOffice dizendo que eles fazem open source "fake", que têm parceria com a Microsoft e que privilegiam formatos criados pela Microsoft (OOXML) ao invés do livre ODF.

E nessa onda de "soberania digital", muitos governos tem começado a adotar... o OnlyOffice.

Enquanto o LibreOffice se esforça para oferecer suporte ao OOXML, a Microsoft, por outro lado, não oferece suporte adequado ao padrão ISO OpenDocument (ODF). Isso incentiva seus muitos usuários a permanecerem no OOXML (docx, xlsx, pptx e outros) - lockin.

Não deixa de ser uma escolha anti-interoperabilidade do OnlyOffice.
(e para os que são anti-IA, eles também estão integrando agentes IAs)

Segue o artigo:

Gemeinschaft – früher selbstverständlich, heute selten!

Früher war Gemeinschaft keine romantische Idee, sondern eine Lebensform. Man lebte nah beieinander, arbeitete miteinander, war wirtschaftlich und sozial voneinander abhängig. Familie, Nachbarschaft, Dorf oder Verein bildeten ein Gefüge, das nicht gewählt, sondern gegeben war. Wer aus der Reihe fiel, blieb trotzdem Teil davon. Man konnte sich einander nicht entziehen.

So, I had a rethink about the brake booster. There’s basically no clearance between the reservoir lid and this strut. Even if I can fit the booster in there, I won’t be able to open the reservoir cap. Or at the very least I’ll be creating a problem that will annoy future me.

#WeirdCarMastodon #classiccars #opensource #EVconversion #EV

Alt...

Looking down into an engine bay. A brake booster is being held roughly in place. A diagonal strut in the engine bay crosses over the cap of the reservoir.

But, these iBoosters are all made by Bosch and you can find slightly different variants of them in loads of different cars. One way they vary is the shape of the reservoir ;) See that hex bolt? That holds on the reservoir.

Certain Hondas just so happen to use an iBooster with a remote reservoir setup. I got this little guy on eBay. It uses a very small reservoir on the master and a hose leads off to another bottle elsewhere.

Signal Protocol for a P2P Webapp

TL;DR: I have open-sourced a #Rust implementation of the #SignalProtocol that compiles to #WASM for #Browser-based #P2P messaging, overcoming the #NodeJS limitations of the official library.

I am sharing my implementation of the Signal Protocol designed specifically for the #Frontend. While the official libsignal is the gold standard, its #JavaScript targets are often optimized for Node.js, which creates integration challenges for client-side web applications.

My version is built in #RustLang and compiles to #WebAssembly, utilizing #ModuleFederation to provide robust #Encryption for decentralized environments. It currently powers the end-to-end security for my #P2P messaging project.

Protocol Demo:

P2P App Demo:

How do we ensure that the #opensource components we build upon are also sustainably maintained? 🤔

@opensource organized a conference on Open Source Procurement today.

70% to 90% of all software contains open source components. 60% of those are run by 1 person. That's a fragile ecosystem.

With a purchasing volume of 116 billion euro, the Dutch gov can make an impact - if they reserve a portion of funding for open source projects in every procurement (MVOI).

Ladybird adopts Rust, with help from AI
https://ladybird.org/posts/adopting-rust

"I used Claude Code and Codex for the translation. This was human-directed, not autonomous code generation. I decided what to port, in what order, and what the Rust code should look like. It was hundreds of small prompts, steering the agents where things needed to go. After the initial translation, I ran multiple passes of adversarial review, asking different models to analyze the code for mistakes and bad patterns."

There are so many problems with this. Don't get me wrong, I also used AI in the past for coding in languages I'm not experienced in to help me out, but I do it with awareness, try to keep the usage to a minimum, and preferably use more ethical ways to use AI that provide the least benefit to corporations like OpenAI, Anthropic, and co.

But the author doesn't seem to be aware and does not point out the issues with the way he has done it. His only concern seemed to be the code quality, which is a valid concern here, but he didn't seem to have thought much about the waste of resources, copyright infringement, ethical issues, and the support of companies with major illegal practices.

Otetaanpa uusiksi, koska olin aikaisemmin idiootti ja ratkaisin tämän ongelman ihan hölmöllä tavalla. Jospa tämä olisi parempi.

Askartelin pienen palvelun, joka kuuntelee Forgejon webhookeja ja lähettää niiden perusteella viestin Gotifyyn epäonnistuneista ajoista. Tämä mahdollistaa siis sen, että epäonnistuneista ajoista tulee puhelimeen push-notifikaatio, joka ei vaadi Googlen tai Applen härveleitä väliin.

Webhookien avulla voisi varmasti ilmoitella paljon muistakin asioista, mutta oma tarve oli vain saada epäonnistumisista ilmoitukset, enkä tykkää käyttää sellaiseen sähköpostia.

Tuttuun tapaan himmeli pyörii Dockerissa.

Hello Fedi! I'm finally writing my #Introduction post after being a lurker for years (2022 is when I made my first account). I've never really been active on any social media, but Mastodon is unique and I'd like to experience the sense of community that it offers.

A bit about me! I live in a fairly small town in #Saskatchewan on Treaty 4 land. I enjoy #gardening, #walking, and playing #guitar. I am collecting and digitizing CDs which I enjoy through a modest, self hosted Jellyfin server. I gave #Linux a shot several years ago and have since been in love with the principles of #opensource and #FOSS. Recently I've been working to improve #OpenStreetMap in my area to make it a more viable option for others in my community.

I'm a proud democratic socialist, and I believe in the project of universal liberation. I support the rights of #workers, the #LGBTQIA community, and #immigrants. I oppose #fascism and believe that we once again find ourselves at the crossroads of #socialism and barbarism. Despite how grim everything looks now, I see enough good in the world to remain optimistic for the future. This is one place in particular that brings me hope. Y'all are cool here 👍

Wir sind verbunden und doch allein. Aus Isolation wird Gemeinschaft!

Doch wie können wir das wirklich verändern!

Nicht als schöne Idee, sondern im Alltag. Nicht nur als Gefühl, sondern als gelebte Gemeinschaft.
Vielleicht beginnt es damit, dass wir langsamer werden.
Dass wir nicht nur überfliegen, sondern wirklich lesen. Nicht nur reagieren, sondern antworten. Nicht nur senden, sondern zuhören.
Gemeinschaft entsteht nicht durch Reichweite. Sie entsteht durch Beziehung.
Und Beziehung wächst dort, wo wir ein Stück von uns zeigen, das nicht perfekt ist.

En tykkää siitä, että Forgejossa ainut tapa saada ilmotus epäonnistuneesta ajosta on sähköposti. Siellä on kyllä mahdollista käyttää myös webhookeja, mutta ne on rajoitettu tiettyihin palveluihin.

Askartelin sitten kostoksi pienen Dockerissa ajettavan palvelun, joka pollaa Forgejon ajoja ja lähettää niistä ilmoituksen Gotify:llä. Saa kivasti ilmoituksen puhelimeen eikä ole riippuvainen ulkopuolisista palveluista.

Ikävä kyllä Forgejon API ei tarjoa yhtä siistiä endpointia, josta näitä ajoja voisi näppärästi kutsua. Se pitää tehdä repositoriokohtaisesti, joten kutsuja tulee joka pollauksella yhtä monta kuin on konfiguroituja repoja.

Lisäsin softaan kuitenkin sellaisen jarrun, että jos repositorioissa ei ole yhtään ajoa, se pistetään jäähylle tunniksi. Näin se ei turhaan tarkastele repoja joihin ei ole ajoja konfiguroitu.

Palvelussa voi määritellä itse kaikki repositoriot, joita se tarkastelee. Sen lisäksi siellä on asetus, jonka voi kytkeä päälle, ja silloin palvelu tsekkaa kaikki repositorit jotka se vaan API-avaimella näkee. Sen kanssa kannattaa olla varovainen jos repoja on satoja. Myös pollausvälin voi itse asettaa, mutta se on minimissaan 15 sekuntia.

Tämä on ensimmäinen versio. Katsotaan miten toimii. Jos joku keksii paremman tavan pollata noita niin saa kertoa 😄

Seuraavaksi voisi tsekata, että kuinka helppoa Forgejoon olisi rakentaa Gotify-hook. Ei tarvitsisi tällaista purkkaa rakennella.

Quick break for some exercise. I will return later this morning with coffee, freshly baked banana bread, and more updates on Europe.

#DigitalSovereignty #DigitalIndependance #FOSS #OpenSource

Also in June of 2025, the French city of Lyon announced it would also stop using Microsoft Office for its 10,000 employees, and switch to an ##OpenSource software alternative. City officials pointed to licensing costs, end-of-life transition costs for version changes, and control of their own data, were reasons cited.

https://www.techradar.com/pro/one-of-frances-largest-cities-has-now-also-ditched-microsoft-for-open-source-software

Almost time for lunch in my corner of the planet, so a final post for today. The transition to #OpenSource in Europe is growing. In addition to examples cited above, the Austrian military and Danish governments have announced plans to go Microsoft-Free, and Munich is looking to restart their efforts after an earlier failed project. It has to be a worrying trend for Microsoft, and all U.S. tech firms, and IMO it soon will be irreversible.

#DigitalSovereignty
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/europe-zoom-teams-france-us-b2913584.html

To my European followers, or followers anywhere on the planet. Did I miss any important examples of governments, organizations, or companies who have publicly announced they are moving towards an #OpenSource software platform? Let us know as these stories are a source of inspiration here in Canada.

#ElbowsUp #MastodonCanada #DigitalSovereignty

One of the several times I was asked to do a talk about why I'm an #opensource enthusiast with a particular fondness for #OpenBSD, I wrote "Recent and not so recent changes in OpenBSD that make life better (and may turn up elsewhere too)" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/recent-and-not-so-recent_changes_in_openbsd_that_make_life_better.html in 2021.

Things have happened since, of course, but those things are still developments I remember fondly.

"Syncthing is an open source tool that synchronises files continuously across multiple devices. It transfers data between two or more of your computers, without uploading any information to the cloud."

Give Syncthing a try!

Thunderbird next?

Based upon the track record of Mozilla it's just a question of time before the programmers find a way of integrating large language model slop into the beautiful and elegant Thunderbird

Look closely; every time Mozilla is begging for money when you start up Thunderbird after 2 or 3 days of not having used it. It's annoying I haven't looked for a way to turn it off I stopped being annoyed about it after having faced it for sixteen times

This happens cross platform which means it is baked and hard coded into Thunderbird

Up to now, with all LLM things that Mozilla has done, you can just turn them off. I just shrug and turn them off

How is it in this case?

Can you turn this feature off, if so where?

You do realize that because Google literally funds Mozilla, they will keep doing these bad things, opting in users without permission
Maybe you should not use anything that the Mozilla makes anymore, otherwise you will just be annoyed and disappointed Time after Time. The Mozilla team is literally choked by Google, financially choked.

Wishing for their destruction is deeply emotional

These annoyances disappointments & irritations are not good for your health, my internet friend.

IMHO you should leave all Mozilla products behind, then be in Peace again.

Sending you

Y'know what? As an #opensource #advocate and #tech enthusiast, it's genuinely awesome to see increased mainstream coverage of #Linux and #FreeBSD. Unfortunately, a lot of these articles are riddled with mistakes, misinformation, clickbait, and overall low quality. A few minutes ago, while catching up on tech news I came across one #ZDNet author's frequent posts on Linux and FreeBSD.

To emphasize my point, I am only going to focus on one article titled, "After decades on Linux, FreeBSD finally gave me a reason to switch operating systems."

The following passages stuck out like sore thumb:

1.) "FreeBSD is more challenging than Linux."

-But is it really? Subjective, particularly if coming from a GUI-driven Linux distribution. Frankly I find FreeBSD easier because of the excellent documentation and coherent design.

2.) "FreeBSD is Unix-like" but further down he states, "Essentially, FreeBSD is Unix, where Linux is based on Unix."

-Contradictory, incorrect, and confusing for newcomers. FreeBSD is Unix. Linux (neither the kernel nor OS) is based on Unix.

3.) "Think of FreeBSD as a more challenging version of Linux. This operating system doesn't hold your hand, so you might learn a thing or two as you install it and the software you require. Even for a seasoned Linux veteran like me, FreeBSD can often be a head-scratcher."

-Challenging because it's *different than Linux*? FreeBSD doesn't hold your hand? What about #Debian, #Gentoo, #Arch, heck even #RHEL? Since the author didn't mention it, I'm going to assume he did not check the FreeBSD Handbook and his "seasoned Linux" experience has been using a Linux desktop for a couple years. Also, head-scratcher?! Being an experienced Debian user, I'd be scratching my head too if I just decided to use Gentoo on a whim. The trauma of hand-configuring the xorg.conf file was real.

Finally, contrary to the article's title, the author ended up not switching to FreeBSD.

-Clickbait.

I am all for more people exploring FreeBSD and Linux. They are great OSes but it is critical the information being reported is both accurate and consistent. For reference the article is linked below.

@menelion as you are planning to openSource your Claude Code setup, I have a suggestion.
At some point, we can make a Claude code subagent, skill or plugin that would aid in NVDA repo exploration, understanding pr, or even studying the codebase and implementing fixes based on ticket issue types.
The codebase is huge, and there should be guides for humans and agents alike to understand, and swiftly navigate and move things around.

Wenn man für den 3D-Druck selbst konstruieren möchte und nur zwei Kriterien ansetzt: Linux und keine fremde Cloud, also Lokal nutzbar oder/und eigene Cloud, wie z.B. Nextcloud - dann bleibt eigentlich nur FreeCAD übrig.

@anewsocial @dansup Bridges are kewl, but #BlueSky is not #ActivityPub, #Threads is #META, and #Bernie is correct when he says #Billionaires shouldn’t exist. I’m just sayin’ I prefer my #Fediverse free & #opensource & not managed by either #Crypto execs or #techbro billionaires. But maybe that’s just me.

Say I just came up with something really cool that's a library and can be useful to folks. In pre-AI times, I'd slap a GPL on it and release it as an open repo.

Now, today, how can I make it available in a way that won't get instantly sucked into training data?

Secondly (and more importantly), how can I make sure people bring their questions to me, so the project can evolve? (As opposed to them asking LLMs to hallucinate/slopcode quick tweaks for them?)
