1. DI.DAY Kaarst: Linux zum Anfassen – 10.05.2026, 14–17 Uhr, Multifunktionsraum am AEF
   Am 10. Mai lädt die KaaLUG (Kaarster Linux User Group) mit dem Portal KulturForum Kaarst zum dritten DI.DAY Kaarst ein. Thema: Linux Mint ausprobieren und installieren – kostenlos, sicher, für alle.
   Warum Linux?
   Dein alter Rechner läuft mit Linux oft schneller als mit Windows – ohne Datenverlust oder Lizenzkosten. Du behältst die Kontrolle über deine Daten und Privatsphäre. Es wird Elektroschrott vermieden.
   Immer mehr Menschen wollen aus den geschlossenen Ökosystemen der Tech-Giganten ausbrechen. Sie wollen Kontrolle über ihre Daten, ihre Privatsphäre und ihre Geräte zurückgewinnen – ohne auf gewohnte Funktionen verzichten zu müssen. Linux, das freie Betriebssystem, macht genau das möglich:
   Schnellere Performance auf älterer Hardware
   Vollwertige Anwendungen für E-Mails, Surfen, Textverarbeitung, Bildbearbeitung und mehr

Keine Zwangs-Updates, keine Datensammelwut, keine Lizenzkosten
Programm:
Mit deinem Laptop + Netzteil und einem USB-Stick (>= 4 GB) lernst du:

• USB-Stick für Linux vorbereiten
• Datensicherung organisieren
• Linux live testen (ohne Installation)
• Linux installieren (allein oder parallel neben Windows)

Bonus: Gast Daniel Fleck erklärt sicheres Passwort-Management.
Für wen?
Einsteiger:innen, Umsteiger:innen, Datenschutz-Interessierte, KulturSchaffende – alle, die digitale Unabhängigkeit wollen.

From yesterday. This is the same NHS that was embroiled in a scandal surrounding the mishandling of public health data a few years ago.

"NHS England is pulling its open-source software from the internet because of fears around computer-hacking AI models like Mythos."

New Scientist: Backlash builds over UK's NHS plan to hide source code from AI hacking risk https://www.newscientist.com/article/2525315-backlash-builds-over-nhs-plan-to-hide-source-code-from-ai-hacking-risk/ @NewScientist #opensource #infosec #Mythos #Anthropic

@marcus I'd love to have such a device. But it need to be open sourced on the software side as a bare minimum.

Otherwise, enshittification is doomed to happen.

I did that mistake with #Kobo devices. They are luckily partly hackable, so I hope we will see what happens here with more alternative firmware (not just the "add-on" on top of the native Kobo OS).

But as far as I've seen with #remarkable is that these devices are fare more closed on all ends.

Preferably, I want a hackable device which can fully support #E2EE and be audited with having a sane implementation.

The #AppImage "packaging" approach being embraced by many projects is just another poor approach. It does not really solve what it is expected to should solve: Dependency issues.

More and more .AppImage downloads now produce results like these:

/tmp/.mount_tumpa-Z5HMuu/usr/python/bin/python3: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

/tmp/.mount_activiXYBUA0/aw-qt: symbol lookup error: /tmp/.mount_activiXYBUA0/libQt6WaylandClient.so.6: undefined symbol: wl_proxy_marshal_flags

I dunno if it is due to incorrect packaging or a design artefact with AppImage.

I believe #flatpak is the only true sane way to go. At least if you don't want to frustrate users.

Ok, noch ein "#OpenSource ist soo kompliziert"-Shitpost.
Wenn ich eine CSV-Datei in Excel öffne, dann wird der Inhalt entgegen der Bedeutung der Dateiendung (comma-seperated values) nicht in einzelnen Zellen angezeigt, sondern nur in einer Zelle.

Öffne ich die Datei mit #LibreOffice: Sofort ploppt der Import-Assistent auf, ich klicke auf OK, zack, Inhalt wird korrekt angezeigt.

Hier hat jemand die für Excel (und Libre/OpenOffice) nötigen Schritte aufgeschrieben:

If you care at all about whether public bodies, like the NHS, publish the code you paid for, you probably want to take a look at https://keepthingsopen.com

#openSource

#WhatsMissing: A #narrowband-friendly #ActivityPub #Client / #Server - System that allows people to #post and communicate even on extremely narrowband connections like #Iridium (espechally #ShortBurstData) and similar.
- Potentially even #AFSK over #CB-Radio, #LoRa, #Moonbounce'd comms and others... So way below #NBIoT bandwiths.

Basically something that could work within the few bytes of an #SBD transmission, using #TOTP with short TTL for authentification and is so brutally simple that one could manually send/recieve messages/posts with #curl (or #wget) and even support "#legacy" systems without a #proxy like #FrogFind in between (tho that is also an option)...

A bit like #ntfy in terms of simplicity.
- With like a simple, short message:
```
curl -d "test message" domain.example/@xsample&totp=1234567890
```
Which comes out to 62 Bytes or 9,45¢ [U$D] in costs over #IridiumSBD. [excl. baseline fees]...

Did anyone else thought of this? If so, let me know down below!

Open Source – Schlüssel zu Souveränität in der digitalen öffentlichen Infrastruktur

@dirkschroedter Minister für Digitalisierung aus dem deutschen Bundesland Schleswig-Holstein spricht über die Vision und Erfahrung mit Open Source.

Ein paar Auszüge:

> Bei Digitaler Souveränität geht es nicht um Autarkie, sondern um Transparent und Kontrollmöglichkeiten: Nur mit Open Source können wir diese Kriterien erreichen.

> Open Source ist Souveränitätsanker.

> 2025 wurden so bereits 15 mio. € an Lizenzkosteneinsparungen in Open Source, regionale Expertise, Resilienz und Innovation investiert um eine schrittweise Migration mithilfe von starken Open Source Unternehmen zu ermöglichen.

> So förtert das Bundesland SH einen Beitrag zum Erreichen der UN Ziele 9, 11, 16 und 17.
