FreeBSD 15 + CDE is probably the closest you can get to sitting in front of a high-end UNIX workstation without owning a time machine.

Running Common Desktop Environment in 2026 feels strangely refreshing. No blur effects, no Electron, no notifications fighting for attention, No ai written code, just Motif, terminals, man pages, and a desktop paradigm that was already mature before I was born.

Current setup: • FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE • CDE • dtwm • bhyve • Motif everywhere

https://www.xda-developers.com/codeberg-takes-its-side-in-the-open-source-scenes-ai-debate-by-banning-vibe-coded-projects/

Codeberg bans AI-slop.
they aren't banning the use of AI-tools in coding, or any & all AI code, but apps that seem to be mostly vibe-coded will not be allowed on the site

#OpenSource #AI #Codeberg #Programming

@pedersen The maintainer staying true to his vision for decades is rather amazing. He really figured he could take on the world: create a new object-oriented programming language, thumb his nose at SQL, compete with MS Access and Delphi, and make something #OpenSource. That's a lot of big visions all at once.

@pedersen I sincerely wish the #OpenSource world could make something like Delphi or Lazarus (and is #Linux-first). Something that works in #Wayland, and something that uses a modern native GUI widget set. Something that plays nice with #Debian packaging (and isn't just a #Docker container with a bunch of node.js, sketchy-to-secure muck shoveled into it).

It's those "opinionatednesses" I would target today.

IMHO: This is a larger mission that only someone wealthy enough (and Linux-friendly enough) like #RaspberryPi could do, but they have bigger fish to fry: for example the industrial and military markets.

@Codeberg Hackernews called it, the internet delivered: https://vibeberg.org/

🤣

#lol #vibecoding #vibeberg #codeberg #forgejo #thatescalatedquickly #llm #ai #fossdrama #foss #opensource

TIL there is a very longstanding attempt to make something similar to MS Access and Delphi (so-called "integrated application platforms"), but #OpenSource . It's called "Suneido". It has several strong opinions (that are quite idiosyncratic today), making it less palatable to most #Linux geeks, but it's still alive and kicking, barely (thanks to the original author, Andrew McKinlay of Axon Development Corp).

Strange opinions it has, which made sense about 27 years ago:
- SQL isn't good enough, better to make something even better than SQL. So it uses a tightly-integrated relational database, but it isn't SQL (just like MS Access doesn't use SQL either).
- Windows is good enough; Suneido isn't really cross platform to Unix-like operating systems
- was partial to C++ at first, but then made its own object-oriented language (the Suneido Programming Language).
- did a rewrite, is now Go-based, but its own language (the Suneido Programming Language) is still used to write applications.

The Go-based rewrite, which has no documentation or website of its own:

And now, after banning vaguely-defined "LLM-generated code", Codeberg bans cryptocurrency projects. Discussion:

https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pulls/1254

The specific ban is for "Content that harms the reputation of Codeberg, such as cryptocurrency related projects".

https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/commit/f383b648fd733ab88083dc390b91e77cd7589980

I think the reputation of Codeberg has been now harmed enough. When I originally escaped GitHub, I chose Codeberg exactly for the ethical stance and values. For me, anti-censorship is a non-negotiable ethical value. The folks at Codeberg have the right to run their org as they want. However, having now shown that they consider "censorship" good when it's about things they dislike, this made clear that their values and mine are not compatible (even if I dislike those same things, mind you).

Supporters of this ban say that this "draws a line", that "is not meant to be applied blanket-wide to all projects, only those which are harmful to the community", as if having constantly to worry about the next mood swing of Codeberg voting members were an acceptable Sword of Damocles for any reputable project. What's next? Banning US users? Banning software aligned with "capital-fascist" values? Open-source banking/wallet apps? Quantum computing tools? Robotics?

I'm moving off Codeberg, probably to Radicle. But I feel a bit sad, because Codeberg had the potential, in my opinion, to become the European alternative to GitHub, and they have made clear that they are not ready nor willing to become so. Which is fine: software is political, and everyone has the right to express their political stance.

But we still desperately need an alternative to GitHub.

[Decentralized, federated platform for dog owners]

I haven’t been able to get this idea out of my head for a while now. 😩😁

Why are there centralized platforms for dog owners—but no open, decentralized alternative? 🤔

What if clubs, animal shelters, dog training schools, or local communities could run their own instances while still being interconnected, based on ActivityPub, similar to the Fediverse? 😃

Possible features could include:
🐶 Dog profiles
🚶 Walks & meetups
📍 Dog parks & local spots
⚠️ Poisoned bait and hazard alerts
🔎 Missing & found dogs

The focus would be on data sovereignty, local communities, and open standards instead of a centralized platform. 😉

Attached is a preliminary concept diagram to make the idea more tangible.

I’d be interested to know:
Would you use something like this, or even help build it? ⁉️ 🙄

Infographic in DIN A4 format titled “Dog Network – Decentralized. Local. For Dogs and Their Owners.” The infographic visualizes the concept of a decentralized dog platform based on ActivityPub. At the center, a network diagram connects several independent communities (e.g., animal shelters, dog training schools, local communities, or breed groups) that communicate with one another via a federated infrastructure. On the right, a smartphone app with a map view is shown as an example. Surrounding it are potential features: dog profiles, walks and meetups, warnings about hazards and poisoned bait, dog parks and local spots, missing or found dogs, as well as groups and discussion forums. Other sections explain data protection, data sovereignty, self-hosting, open-source technologies, and an optional, privacy-friendly meeting mode that uses intentionally imprecise location data. The design primarily uses shades of green and natural tones, featuring illustrations of dog owners, dogs, maps, and network symbols. The graphic serves as an initial concept sketch and does not represent a finished product or final design.

I have used #Thunderbird for years. I have loved it, but in the last year they have changed a lot.

They are more concerned with money than customers. I made the huge mistake of signing up for Thundermail only to find that it is crap and overpriced.

Now, because I refuse to pay their high prices, I have had my email taken away by them. That is crazy!

As such, I am looking to move completely away from Thunderbird. I need a good, free full-featured open-source #email client that works on Mac and Linux.

Any suggestions?

Step 2: Talk to us on Discord: Hop into the #firmware, #android, #apple, #web, or #python channels before a giant PR. Communication matters as much as code. Step 3: Take small bites: Help with existing issues, add reviews to open PRs, or test features to get familiar with the codebase. Text at the bottom reads: "Honestly?

An overhead photograph of a silver 2015 MacBook Pro laptop that has had its top screen portion completely removed. Only the keyboard, trackpad, and the bottom casing remain, revealing the hinge mechanism and some internal wiring. It's sitting on a dark grey felt desk mat. Multiple cables are connected to the ports on both sides of the machine, including a white power cable and USB adapters, and a thick black HDMI cable. In the upper right corner, a white and silver Razer brand mouse is partially visible. The background shows more tangled cables and a bit of another electronic device.

Codeberg community voted to ban AI-generated code in repositories:

https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pulls/1253#issuecomment-19820434

I am a regular Codeberg user, left GitHub in 2019, and co-maintain Libre projects that saw very little if none at all AI in development.

And still I think this decision will backfire badly.

I, like most of Codeberg users, was not even aware that this discussion was in place, did not vote. This only passed because of the anti-AI Luddite crowd. Which, mind you, has a point, I have very conflicting feelings about AI myself, and I think that the current trajectory is quite worrying. But this is just a knee-jerk reaction that has clearly not been thought of well enough.

I applaude the philosophy, or the intent if you want, of not having Codeberg turn into another SlopHub. But this is fairy-tale wishful thinking. There is no way to reliably detect AI-generated code at scale in 2026.
I can already smell the mutual witch hunts across projects and "camps".

Anyway, I hope I'm wrong.

lol - BlueZ has started using LLM for analysing btmon trace if it has been attached.

I'd have even understood if it was a locally trained LLM - but no, as it''s explicitly stated when creating issue, it's a third-party one!

considering BlueZ is pretty much the sole option for Bluetooth stack on Linux, perhaps there might have to be a discussion for alternatives...

Exempt from one of BlueZ raised issues: Privacy Skip anonymization — Send the raw decoded trace to the LLM without scrubbing MAC addresses or device names. I understand this trace will be processed by a third-party LLM API and I have the right to share this data. Versions BlueZ version: 5.85-4ubuntu0.1 Kernel version: 7.0.0-28-generic Problematic device: Ubuntu 26.04 github-actions (bot): btsnoop Analyzer is processing your trace. This typically takes 1-3 minutes. Decoding with btmon, then sending to LLM for analysis...

#askfedi #blog #homelab #selfhosting #linux trying to gauge if I should put any serious time/energy into this. I have built my own rack solution (rack, chassis, accessories) for consumer grade hardware (it follows enterprise spec).

I am considering #opensource under the GPL of all my designs so that others can build their own commodity racks with consumer grade hardware. I'm thinking I'll blog post each of the major sections and push to #codeberg each time.

Anyone have an interest in these?

🦊 Cea mai populară extensie de confidențialitate din Firefox devine funcționalitate nativă!

Mozilla face un pas uriaș pentru protecția datelor utilizatorilor: capabilitățile oferite de celebra extensie Firefox Multi-Account Containers sunt integrate direct în codul nativ al browserului!

✨ Ce înseamnă această schimbare:

🔒 Izolare nativă a sesiunilor:
• Vei putea separa identitățile digitale (Muncă, Personal, Cumpărături, Banking) direct din browser, fără a fi nevoie să mai instalezi extensii terțe.

⚡ Performanță și stabilitate superioare:
• Fiind o funcționalitate nativă, consumul de memorie RAM și resurse CPU este semnificativ redus, iar viteza de încărcare a paginilor este îmbunătățită.

🛡️ Fără tracking de la un tab la altul:
• Cookie-urile și datele de navigare rămân complet izolate în containerul dedicat, împiedicând platformele sociale și rețelele de reclame să îți urmărească activitatea pe alte site-uri.

✨ Integrare mai fină cu interfața:
• Gestionare mai simplă a tab-urilor, reguli automate pentru deschiderea anumitor domenii în containere specifice și o experiență de utilizare mult mai fluidă out-of-the-box.

Some journeys don't end where you expect them to. Sometimes they bring you right back to where everything began, only with a lot more experience and a much better ecosystem waiting for you.

That's exactly what is happening with BoxyBSD!

In my (longer) blog post I cover my circuit, where I moved from bhyve to Proxmox, developed many tools for Proxmox and now moved back to FreeBSD with bhyve and Sylve.

More details in my blog post: https://gyptazy.com/blog/boxybsd-moving-from-proxmox-to-bhyve-with-sylve/
