Viele Menschen haben den Eindruck, dass sich der Blick verschoben hat. Erfolg wird häufig daran gemessen, wie schnell etwas wächst, wie viel Aufmerksamkeit es bekommt oder welchen Profit es erzeugt. In dieser Logik bleibt wenig Raum für das, was früher oft im Mittelpunkt stand, die Idee, gemeinsam etwas zu schaffen, das länger besteht als der eigene Vorteil.
Dabei waren viele der Dinge, die unsere Welt geprägt haben, nie nur aus persönlichem Gewinn entstanden. Sie wurden von Menschen getragen, die an eine Überzeugung glaubten – Menschen, die etwas entwickeln wollten, das anderen hilft, Wissen zugänglich macht oder eine Gemeinschaft stärkt. Der Antrieb war nicht nur Erfolg, sondern Bedeutung.

#Y2K38 is the new #Y2K and #openSUSE developers are already finding real failures by advancing build clocks to 2038. #32-bit time assumptions are everywhere. 12 years to fix it. #Linux #OpenSource https://news.opensuse.org/2026/01/20/os-community-tackling-y2k38-epoch/
A lot of #opensource projects out there already have statements about whether they accept #ai generated code or what their policy is...
Is there some template / generator for that already?
(and don't @ me with "let AI generate one...)
Sadly, popular Linux gaming utility Lutris is now AI slop and in response to people expressing their concern, the lead maintainer decided to remove all the attributions for the AI submitted changes so no one can fork it before the changes were made. Oh, also it probably renders the license complete garbage as well too.
At least we now know why it's become notably worse over the last few months and it saves me from writing up some Github issues.

VIM
Background
It has come to my attention that my beloved VIM has become invested with LLM AI slop
The lead programmer is not following standard rules of coding anymore.
People have called him many things, but one thing is certain. The man is intelligent in the programming field and knows what he wants.
We don't think so!

@volexity recently released GoResolver v1.4! This release brings significant updates to our #opensource tool for recovering symbol data from obfuscated Go binaries. This release is available on GitHub: https://github.com/volexity/GoResolver.
Go remains one of the most popular languages among #malware developers thanks to its cross-OS portability. GoResolver is designed to help analysts navigate obfuscated Go binaries by recovering lost symbol data using control-flow graph similarity analysis. You can read more about GoResolver in our blog posts last year (April 2025: https://www.volexity.com/blog/2025/04/01/goresolver-using-control-flow-graph-similarity-to-deobfuscate-golang-binaries-automatically/, August 2025: https://www.volexity.com/blog/2025/08/11/go-get-em-updates-to-volexity-golang-tooling/)
What’s New in GoResolver v1.4!
Go Version Management:
GoResolver now automatically detects the Go version a binary was compiled with and selects the most accurate version for analysis. A dedicated "manage" CLI command lets you list, install, and remove Go versions without interrupting your workflow.
Type Recovery:
The new "-y" flag extracts Go type information directly from obfuscated binaries, and includes new capabilities to extract type names, structures, and kinds from obfuscated binaries. Browsing the binary’s types is now much easier and works with your SRE’s cross-referencing feature.
In-SRE Analysis:
Both IDA Pro and Ghidra plugins now support full binary analysis without leaving your SRE. The IDA Pro plugin is available on Hex-Rays’s plugin repository (https://plugins.hex-rays.com/volexity/GoResolver/GoResolver), making GoResolver easier to install through the HCLI tool. Ghidra users gain a new ANALYZE mode that automatically imports recovered symbols and types on completion.

Special thanks to Killian Raimbaud for his work on this & Ivan Maldenov for his work on type recovery during his Volexity internship.

I propose combining Firefox and Thunderbird into one program and adding some extra features, specifically an SFTP/FTP client, RSS reader, ActivityPub client, Torrent client, and maybe some others.
The goal is to make it easy to use the open web. Users will not have to find an RSS reader and switch apps. The browser can replace the homepages provided by other services. All of these are protocols that interlink to each other, so they fit neatly together.
Firefox and Thunderbird already support
* websites
* email
* PDFs
* video and audio playback
* calendar and tasks (CalDAV)
* contacts (CardDAV)
* chats (IRC, XMPP, and Matrix) (yes, Thunderbird supports these!)

Why on earth did they need to make it so complicated. Even the early days of git was easier to use than this. And they even did the cardinal sin of making it behave like svn in many aspects.

Hi everyone 👋
I’m the creator of an open-source project: https://zoomment.com/
The project already has users and I’m actively maintaining and improving it. I really enjoy working on it and would love to invest much more time into development.
The challenge is that I also need to earn money to make that possible.
I’m curious if anyone here has experience turning an open-source project into something sustainable financially.
What models worked for you? (donations, hosted version, paid features, consulting, sponsorships, etc.)
Any advice, examples, or suggestions would be really appreciated 🙏

QGIS 4.0 Norrköping is released!
The wait is over! We are pleased to announce the new major release of QGIS 4.0. Installers for Windows, Linux, and Mac are already out.
What's new? On the surface, existing users should expect to engage with a QGIS experience familiar to what they have come to know and love from previous releases. Under the hood, however, 4.0 introduces significant changes to maintainability and usability.
http://blog.qgis.org/2026/03/09/qgis-4-0-norrkoping-is-released/
Maintaining open source projects is mostly a thankless task, but very occasionally a very kind soul drops their appreciation and thanks, and it really does make your day 🥰
▶️ Take a moment sometimes to thank the maintainers of open source projects you value!
