    I got into because it was a community-driven approach to making computers empower people. Now, means "free training data for someone else's LLM."

    I could ask, "What is the future of open source software," but I think that's the wrong question. I'd rather contemplate what community-driven, human-centering computing can look like in the era of scraping and slop.

      Do all of you remember and understand the fundamental meaning why and any GPL related licenses?

      The meaning of "free" in here is not about "gratis", not as free as beer, but freedom, like free as speech.

      You can use the others if you don't like. Even u can fork and modify if u want.

      Yes, it's our right too to criticize, but please do in ethical ways. Honour their works. Not just spreading hates.

      Blind hates just showing you're a fool.

              @ActuallyAutistic after a false start (thanks for your patience @murdoc ), I have the server set up now.

              My sense is to not just leave it up all the time, but rather only run it for a set, loosely agreed-upon, recurring period of time each weekend. This is so that people can expect to see each other over time in a friendly way. This is instead of making it available 24/7, and people rarely ever pop by, never form any sense of familiarity with anyone else.

              I'm thinking a fixed period time every Sunday night (the fixed period pattern starting next week) would be most suitable. BTW: Luanti works in (find it in F-Droid), so it can be played even from a smartphone or tablet:
              f-droid.org/packages/net.minet

              What do you think? A recurring 4-hour period is proposed here:
              docs.autis.toque.im/#timing/

              Having said this, the Voxelibre server is up for *all* this weekend, for those who want to try it (a chance at early familiarization).

              More details are in this little documentation wiki I wrote (explains if and how to connect):
              docs.autis.toque.im/

              PS: I worked hard on this! It was suprisingly tricky to set up.

                Hey infosec folks 👋

                I built RYN27 — a free, open-source CLI recon tool written in Python.
                MIT licensed — fork it, contribute, do whatever you want with it.

                I’d love feedback from people who actually do this work.

                What it does:

                🔍 WHOIS · Full DNS enumeration · Subdomain brute-force
                🔒 SSL/TLS cert inspection with expiry countdown
                ⚡ Threaded port scan + banner grabbing (30 workers)
                📊 HTTP security header audit with 0–100% scoring
                🌍 IP geolocation + proxy/VPN detection
                ✉️ Email & contact harvester
                🛠️ Tech stack fingerprinting
                📄 robots.txt reader, metadata crawler, zone transfer

                19 modules. One interactive menu. Zero config.

                Runs on:
                Linux · macOS · Windows · Termux ✓

                All dependencies auto-install on first run.

                If you try it — I genuinely want to know:

                → What’s missing?
                → What’s broken?
                → What would you do differently?

                Open to all feedback, suggestions, PRs, criticism — all of it. 🙏

                                                      Most people try to build one “perfect” project.

                                                      I’m doing 100, inspired by Visakan Veerasamy "do 100 things" (makingmeaning.in/article/do-10)

                                                      This curl source code explorer is one rep—vibe coded, imperfect, but sharper than the last.

                                                      The goal isn’t the tool.
                                                      It’s pattern recognition.

                                                      Do the reps → stop optimizing outputs
                                                      and start understanding systems.

                                                                I care about each line of code i write, what it does, how and why it exists, so I can actually maintain it.

                                                                I’d rather have an incomplete codebase I can revisit and trust, than ship something generated overnight without context or ownership.

                                                                Maintenance requires context, not just code:

                                                                - Good architecture
                                                                - Solid system design
                                                                - Long-term ownership

                                                                  Einen Tag warten. Für eine APK. 🙄

                                                                              You’re chatting with friends, family, or a non‑technical manager and the question lands:

                                                                              “Why are we using Red Hat at work when my friend uses Ubuntu at home? Aren’t they both just Linux? Why is this so complicated?”

                                                                              Explaining a modular, kernel‑based world to someone used to one neat product (macOS, Windows, iOS) can feel like explaining car mechanics at a dinner party.

                                                                              So how do you make it click?

                                                                              Here’s an analogy I’ve used for years that usually gets an instant “Aha!” from non‑tech people.

                                                                              Engine vs. Vehicle

                                                                              🔧 Kernel = Engine
                                                                              The Linux kernel is the engine: the core machinery that actually makes things run. It’s powerful and reliable – but an engine alone doesn’t get you anywhere.

                                                                              🚗 Distro = Vehicle
                                                                              A distribution (distro) is the whole vehicle built around that engine: body, seats, dashboard, storage, tools. It’s the engine plus everything else you need to actually use it, assembled for a particular purpose.

                                                                              And just like in real life, we don’t pick a vehicle because of the paint job; we pick it because of what we need it to do.

                                                                              Everyday Examples
                                                                              To pull it out of the “enterprise IT” bubble, I frame it with everyday roles.

                                                                              🚛 The Commercial Truck (Server) – RHEL, Debian
                                                                              A big truck that hauls heavy loads non‑stop. Not designed for comfort or looks, just for doing the job, reliably, for years. That’s your server: often no GUI, older but proven components, maximum stability.

                                                                              🚙 The Daily Driver (Workstation) – Fedora, Ubuntu LTS
                                                                              Your normal car: comfortable, up‑to‑date, good enough for commuting, shopping, road trips. That’s a developer or desktop distro: modern tools, stable enough for everyday work and testing.

                                                                              🛠️ The Specialist Van (Niche Distros) – Kali Linux

                                                                              So is this “fragmentation”?
                                                                              “They all share the same core engine, but the ‘vehicles’ are customized for different jobs. Servers, laptops, and security toolkits all run Linux – just tuned differently.”

                                                                              Same engine, different roles:
                                                                              • long‑running servers,

                                                                              • highly specialized tools.

                                                                              Your Turn

                                                                                        I left NixOS because as much as I loved configuration as code for handling everything and the benefits that brought, the foundational way NixOS works meant that some of the stuff I need to use just cannot be run on it. (No, don't give me suggestions, it's already too late and NONE of the suggestions I received worked.)

                                                                                        I decided to swap to CachyOS as I was very used to Arch and wanted to try it. CachyOS is excellent and does a great job of smoothing out some of Arch's sharp edges but I really missed declaratively controlling my machine. I went looking for a solution, most of which were... rather odd. A version of Arch Linux that's declarative but everything's flatpaks? Why?

                                                                                        I did find something that works so far. Configuration is done either through yaml or lua files. You can use Lua for doing things conditionally or if you need more control. Manages packages, services, dotfiles. It's been about 2 days, but so far so good. We'll see if I still like it in a week.

                                                                                                                                                            I recently traveled through the heart of SF on my way to Lombard Street to stay the night and then the next morning cruised by 710 Ashbury to visit the old home where the Grateful Dead dwelt for a few years while playing at notable music venues such as the Fillmore West.

                                                                                                                                                            Salesforce's building itself is smaller than SF's other skyscraper but takes up a dominant position in downtown SF, in more ways than just its physical presence.

                                                                                                                                                            I've always especially disliked this company who had a small reputation back in the day for stealing other company's ideas and integrating them into Salesforce's own business models.

                                                                                                                                                            Now, AI is doing all of the intellectual property theft which Salesforce used to do a little just with people. The world now has AI scraping which must be mitigated. Digital mercenaries working for Chinese corporations such as Huawei and hackers in the North Korean military keep the pilfered contents that are our sweat and tears in the form of our digital work or shared output on their Cloud servers worldwide. Nobody likes China in this capacity. The Chinese businesses and their people are arrogant, their culture output suggests that they are a cloistered people or are perhaps isolated being a large swath of Asian cultures spread throughout eastern and western China, and these intellectually- and politically-inferior people think that passive resistance in the form of practicing international IP theft by using poor business models while working at companies such as Huawei is socking it to the Americans. What they really should be attempting now is to overthrow their own corrupt government.

                                                                                                                                                            There is a state of disbelief among Generation X coders.

                                                                                                                                                            All of our work on open systems and Open Source is being neglected and manipulated in certain ways by the stewards and titans in business.

                                                                                                                                                            Only the volunteers in Open Source maintain and improve upon the building blocks and virtual bridges used in Open Source.

                                                                                                                                                            Still to this day in America, no one company has come forth and instituted Open Source as their main operating model aside from Google and the 16 (or 23) versions of the Android operation system that they've put out for non-iPhone smartphones based in part on Linux's fundamentals.

                                                                                                                                                            That tells my generation something about America. This tells me something about the future of software *in* America. Right now, this reality tells me that outside of major urban areas such as SF, the larger Bay area, and other well-to-do cities where almost all of the significant jobs are that there is not much of a future for true software development since the presence of AI has ruined people's takes on what good software should be.

                                                                                                                                                            And this bad situation with companies not supporting tells us and everyone else not writing code too that America's corporate boardrooms cannot be trusted any more than they can literally or physically be thrown with someone's arms — to coin an old seventies or eighties saying regarding the general uselessness of another person or a thing.

                                                                                                                                                            With crap software generated by AI and Generation Z flunkies or lackeys quite literally always working for "the boss man and his corporation" doing the absolute worst that they can do, just to get a paycheck...

                                                                                                                                                            ...It has made a lot of Generation X and Millennials wonder what the fuck we are doing with our lives.

                                                                                                                                                            Like, who the hell wants to live in SF? The whole point of living in the city center is to get a job.

                                                                                                                                                            There is not much more of a commons in SF. And interesting there's not much left of the Haight-Ashbury scene (it has culturally dissipated for decades) which was the heart of counter culture in western America during the late sixties and seventiees. What has replaced the old SF is the same commercial corporate artifice in the form of urban gentrification that small town people such as myself find to be overbearing.

                                                                                                                                                            Most young people barely understand the meaning of commerce when it comes to just value and performance.

                                                                                                                                                            It takes time, grade, and experience working with others just to get to that point.

                                                                                                                                                            Many mid-level managers in I.T. are in denial. These ids know that if they do not toe the line with their assholes for bosses such as Marc Benioff at Salesforce then they will be let go. These ids feel that they need to go with the flow with using Dockerized containers and AWS to help push their massive amounts of AI bullshit on the American public. Their sales people call this making a profit. Marketing people do not even know what time it is, anymore. The demand is getting more decoupled from the supply. I personally feel that it's gotten to the point now where many young people are brainwashed with consumerism and all of the soft-core human titillation taking place in their private lives (this would be people fvcking their misery away every Friday night with their partners instead of trying to work for some real change that will be taking place around the corner) and so, they don't even understand the difference between virtual deliverables and the physical kind as much, anymore.

                                                                                                                                                            Or could it be still that the elegance of software rests with simpler is better? There is not a lot of agreement on this anymore between the individual, the business that individual works for, and most of American academia — whose own people won't even bother trying to institute open software standards or protocols anymore by pushing the envelope. Since social media, which I feel to be a real fame killer, has blunted the importance of everyone and everything, nobody gets cited in the mainstream press anymore for cool new software inventions. All of the online discussion is now reserved for AI, IoT, or continued development of the worst kind of desktop software which dominates bad operating systems such as Windows 11. Software such as OneDrive literally takes or uploads your private data without informing you. That is the default setting for OneDrive which is automatically installed to Windows 11. It is not much more than a virus which uploads your files without your consent. Welcome to America. Welcome to a fresh, new hell.

                                                                                                                                                            The billionaires sort of won in our country, in this so-called "land of the free." Everything in America is about making money and eliminating the competition. And lewd sites such as OnlyFans exacerbate this bad feeling with tawdry women and gay men modeling online. People are now commoditizing their bodies in full force with sites such as OnlyFans, and the establishment calls this routine or tries to look the other way. An entire class of online predators made up of creepy old people and semi-educated perverts all feed from this pornographic flotsam and jetsam. I do believe that AI porn is making the brunt of this servitude the same or worse — over time. Servitude means a state of subjection to an owner or master, something psychologists and the US media do not discuss in depth. They only frame the advent of sites such as OnlyFans in the light of addiction. They say there's more to online porn than just addiction. The adult models enable these online users while others watch. It's that clear-cut and leaves little to the imagination.

                                                                                                                                                            And what has happened is the managerial class has taken control over all the logistical and functional aspects of everything to do with the planning and execution of work (employment). They have used AI to turn jobs into emotive juggernauts for young urban professionals that sound a lot better in name only than they really are.

                                                                                                                                                            The workforce is an awful, centralized system with a bad income inequality problem which will take decades to change.

I remember switching to it felt weird and lightweight and it took me a bit to get used to. But ever since I've had the feeling on depending on which I battled with "oh well it's so if ms ruins it, there will be forks".

                                                                                                                                                              Lately however they went all in being the primary focus. That made me realise that sooner or later they are gonna gate keep with that "bonus AI features" that you can't get otherwise or you already pay for.
                                                                                                                                                              So I started looking for alternatives and initially landed on the text editor. That works great and is astonishingly fast!
                                                                                                                                                              But zed also started the same play as ms, put as many AI features as possible as a monetization strategy.

                                                                                                                                                              So when I found out that neovim also has mouse supprt, I finally got to setup via and I was pleasantly surprised how good it is. Even the supoort for is better the on zed. It's basically same as on the officially supported vscode! Looking forward to a new journey with
