What makes AWS STS OIDC Driver stand out? 🤔🔐

AWS STS OIDC Driver is a tool that enables Kubernetes workloads to authenticate with AWS services directly using OpenID Connect (OIDC). It eliminates the need for long-term IAM credentials by leveraging temporary AWS Security Token Service (STS) tokens tied to your OIDC identity.

Can you explain to a non-coder (like, is it even possible) why it's apparently difficult in Linux to create programs so that they take on the design/format of the DE they're in?

This may be a *stupid* question, but I'm curious, so if you feel like waxing poetic, I'd be grateful.

@hazelnot uhmmm... I'm going to say, how does that square with #EU #DataSovereignty, now that the #US has made clear that the US government can demand **any** data held on **any** US company's servers, no matter where those servers may physically be?

It seems to me that a fully EU — or genuinely #OpenSource #NonProprietory phone operating system — is now inevitable.

Late Night Linux artwork

In the beginning, there was nothing.

Just a few lines of code. A small project born from boring afternoons. A hobby

No money. No sponsors. No plan for a revolution ❌

Just one person. And one question: Can I build something of my own?

34 years later - that "nothing" still runs. Not as a product. Not as a service. But as a weapon 🏹

In a world where technology is ruled by empires , where every click, every glance, every word is turned into profit. In a world where people stopped being users - because they became products, slaves to algorithms, tools for ad revenue - Linux is still a place of resistance

It wasn't meant to save the world. And yet... it does.

It wasn't meant to be political. And today, it's the purest kind of politics.

It wasn't supposed to be necessary. And today, it's essential.

For those who refuse digital submission. For those who want tech that doesn't sell their soul. For those who believe privacy, security, and freedom shouldn't be a luxury 🗽🔐

For me.

Because I know how easy it is to get lost. How easy it is to believe there's no alternative. That this is just how it has to be.

That's why I choose differently 💪

Not for looks. Not for trends. But for control. For awareness. For dignity.

It's not about Linux lacking a pretty GUI. It's not about not running popular apps. That's not the point - all of that can be figured out. The point is that I choose what runs on my system. Not someone who's never met me, but knows every move I make

34 years later - this isn't a hobby. This is a fortress. A frontline. An echo of the question from years ago, which today sounds like a call:

Can we build something of our own?

📊 What distro do you use? I'm not asking out of curiosity. I'm asking with hope - that I'm not alone.

What was your first contact with free (as free speech) softwares?

For me, I think it was in 2003 with (The) GIMP and OpenOffice.
Heard about the first one back in 1999/2000 with a CD full of softwares you can find with some magazines, and the second one at my high school as some PC were equipped with it to save some money.

Transparency: You or any developer can peek under the hood

Community Power: Developers worldwide collaborate and spot bugs faster

Innovation: Anyone can improve or fork the project, ideas evolve quickly.

Freedom: No lock‑in, no hidden fees

Summary: small poll for my new operating system Message-ID: Date: 25 Aug 91 20:57:08 GMT Organization: University of Helsinki Hello everybody out there using minix - I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things). I've currently ported bash (1.08) and gcc (1.40), and things seem to work. This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months, and I'd like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them :-) Linus (torvalds@kruuna.helsinki.fi) The rest didn't fit, alt-reading-person. I'm sorry for that.

My friends, I'm so excited and happy to introduce a new project: the illumos Cafe!

The positive and constructive spirit of the BSD Cafe, created and maintained by all the friends who participated from day one in building a strong and friendly community, deserves to spread to other operating systems. Because there are other OSes that deserve attention, certainly more than they're getting right now.

Operating systems based on illumos (like SmartOS, OmniOS, Tribblix, OpenIndiana, etc.) are mature, stable, secure, and perfectly usable for a wide range of tasks. ZFS is native, zones are an excellent method for containerization, and bhyve and kvm coexist beautifully - and so much more, too much to list in a single post.

So from today, the illumos Cafe will stand alongside the BSD Cafe in creating a positive, respectful, and growth-oriented (but also relaxing!) environment, starting right here in the Fediverse with a Mastodon instance and a snac one.

I've written an introductory article about the project, including some technical details. I invite everyone interested to read it: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/08/18/introducing-the-illumos-cafe/

Choose your table, take a seat and enjoy your time at the illumos Cafe!

Running a single user (or small) instance in the Fediverse? Relay instances acting as a spreading proxy can help you to find your content and also to make your posts visible to others - and you can easily join with #Mastodon, #snac and many other ones!
