If you talk about #AI in the #Federation, you’re quickly attacked.

Yesterday I mentioned #Omarchy #Linux—not to promote it. It represents the world we’re now entering. You can reject all this AI and #agent #coding, but it’s here to stay; it’s not going away.
Linux is the number one platform where this will take place—at a breathtaking speed. And I firmly believe that the classic #OpenSource scene, just like the rest of the world, needs to emancipate itself in this regard.

There are the #OpenWeights AI models; if we take off our blinders and stop being afraid all the time, we can build our own infrastructure. The last six months have changed the world. It’s a turning point in human #history that cannot be overstated. I don’t think the comparison to the invention of the steam engine—which is always brought up—is all that far off. No one can predict the #future, but it will be different from today—that much is certain. #oss

Better if it's self-hostable, but otherwise, decentralized anyways.

No idea if LibreOffice is still accessible, if it has a presentation tool - OnlyOffice is excluded, accessibility isn't optimized at all despite they speak about it. Already had a call with them but no news came since long.

Millions of automated requests are hitting Kernel.org daily, pushing maintainers to deploy increasingly aggressive defenses against AI crawlers.

I should probably write more on this, but this topic just came up in a private chat and want to share it here.

This discourse over #AI in #OpenSource is just the old Proprietary vs Open Source debate from 20+ years ago.

Back then, the proprietary people would say stuff like "Microsoft is everywhere, you can't avoid it", "Linux is a toy OS, real work requires windows", "You're going to be left behind".

Does this sound familiar to anyone else?

｢ What LLMs in Debian development will do, I fear, is eliminate any incentive to scrap boilerplate or reform policies that require a lot of other senseless human effort. If I had had access to LLMs 30 years ago, I might have just had them generate the rules files, replate with complexity. So they will make Debian even more firmly what it is, and ever less likely to explore what it could become ｣

📢 Erinnerung: Morgen (Montag, 31.08.2026) ist wieder Fediverse-Sprechstunde! 🌐

„Mach doch einfach ein Issue auf!“

Diesen Satz hat vielleicht der eine oder die andere schon einmal gehört. Aber … was ist eigentlich ein Issue? 🤔

🐞 Ich habe einen Fehler entdeckt – wie melde ich ihn richtig?
💡 Ich habe eine Idee – wo werde ich sie los?
🛠️ Ich wünsche mir eine Verbesserung – darf ich dafür ein Issue erstellen?
📝 Und was muss überhaupt hineingeschrieben werden, damit Entwickler damit etwas anfangen können?

Genau darum geht es morgen Abend in unserer nächsten Fediverse-Sprechstunde:

📅 Montag, 31.08.2026
🕢 19:30 Uhr
💻 Online

✨ Was sind Issues und wie erstelle ich welche?

Durch den Abend führt uns Jens @qbi , den einige vielleicht noch von unserer Fediverse-Sprechstunde zum Thema BookWyrm kennen.

Als Administrator und Entwickler kennt Jens Issues aus der Praxis und wird uns zeigen, wie sie funktionieren und wie wir selbst gute und hilfreiche Issues erstellen können.

Und keine Sorge: Ihr müsst weder programmieren können noch Entwickler sein! 😊

Gerade das soll ein Thema für uns alle sein. Denn Open-Source-Projekte und damit auch viele Anwendungen im Fediverse leben davon, dass Nutzer Fehler melden, Ideen einbringen und Rückmeldungen geben.

Vielleicht verlieren wir morgen gemeinsam auch ein bisschen die Scheu vor GitHub, Codeberg & Co. 😉

Wie immer gilt bei unserer Sprechstunde:

💬 Fragen ausdrücklich erwünscht!
🤝 Erfahrungen dürfen geteilt werden.
🌱 Einsteiger sind genauso willkommen wie erfahrene Nutzer, Admins und Entwickler.

Denn das Fediverse lebt nicht nur von seiner Technik, sondern vor allem von den Menschen, die gemeinsam daran arbeiten, es ein kleines Stück besser zu machen.

Mehr Miteinander statt Gegeneinander. 💜

👉 Morgen, Montag, 31.08.2026 um 19:30 Uhr

💻 Konferenzraum:
campus.ws-12.de/rooms/8p9-mvy-…

Kommt einfach vorbei – wir freuen uns auf euch! 😊

📢 Weitersagen und Teilen sehr gern erwünscht.

The growing divide between AI hype and software engineering reality

It is widely accepted that there is an AI bubble in the financial markets at the moment. The moderate opinion is however that LLMs are constantly improving and will eventually take over more and more tasks from humans and increase productivity. But are LLMs actually getting smarter, or just better at fooling us?

Question: In the age of vibe-coding and AI slop, is it time to start creating AI-free/handcrafted forks of open source software projects?

There was a time when the free & open source software movement stood in opposition to big tech.

It's become a cliché now, but when Microsoft found a new way to enshittify Windows, the natural response was "install Linux", because open source stood in opposition to bug tech.

Yet with the emergence of LLMs, there's a significant number of open source projects that gladly accept Claude-generated code. Some maintainers are open advocates.

So is it time for a fork, when an explicitly open and AI-free software movement separates from FOSS projects that openly embrace AI?

debian The importance of stability and the social contract in community-driven operating systems

I’ve been a long-time Kubuntu user, currently on 26.04 LTS.

Mostly because I want Debian-ish stability, KDE, reasonably current software, and something that will happily run on moderately elderly hardware without demanding a blood sacrifice to the upgrade gods.

And I increasingly want to escape the Canonical Slop™.

So I’ve been thinking: Debian Testing? 🤔

Except then I went looking into Debian’s current position on generative AI and -

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, DEBIAN?

So apparently Debian is having an enormous philosophical argument about whether the robot should be allowed into the kitchen while I am standing outside trying to find an operating system that doesn't make me want to scream.

Which leaves me with the obvious question:

If I want KDE, stability, reasonably current packages, decent support for older hardware, no Canonical nonsense, AND a Free Software project that is taking the whole GenAI mess seriously… WHAT THE FUCK DO I RUN?

Debian Testing was looking so promising, too. 😭

Linux distro hopping has become a personality crisis.

ReFra – nowoczesna galeria na Androida

Dostępna odpłatnie w Google Play, natomiast można ją pobrać bezpłatnie z GitHub.

ReFra, zmienia sposób przeglądania, porządkowania i wyświetlania zdjęć i filmów – dzięki kategoriom opartym na sztucznej inteligencji, widokowi panoramicznemu, odtwarzaniu zdjęć w ruchu, przesyłaniu filmów i w pełni konfigurowalnemu, nowoczeanwmu interfejsowi Material 3.

Celem projektu jest stworzenie i wprowadzenie aplikacji galerii, której każdy chce, z funkcjami, których każdy potrzebuje.

Wolne i otwarte oprogramowanie

WARIANTY PRZY POBIERANIU APLIKACJI

Standardowa
Pełna funkcjonalność z mapami, dostawcami usług w chmurze i wszystkimi możliwościami online. Modele sztucznej inteligencji można pobrać po instalacji.

Offline
Wszystkie funkcje online usunięte — brak map, brak synchronizacji w chmurze, brak uprawnień do sieci. Modeli AI nie można pobrać po instalacji; jeśli potrzebujesz funkcji AI, użyj wariantu WithML.

NoML
Brak dołączonych modeli AI/ML – mniejszy plik do pobrania. Modele można pobrać po zainstalowaniu w wersjach Standard.

WithML
Zestaw modeli AI/ML na urządzeniu - rozpoznawanie twarzy, inteligentne wyszukiwanie działa w pełni offline. Wymagane dla budowy sztucznej inteligencji w trybie offline.

REKOMENDOWANY WARIANT

#foss #OpenSource #linuxGaming

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/34291

GitHub Continuous Integration checks are running (hopefully they will pass without issues?).

It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it (and this time around, I am going to wait for libtorrent to get merged, before submitting another rtorrent Pull Request and see if that makes those CI checks go more smoothly).

#libtorrent #MacPorts #OpenSource #torrent #BitTorrent #TUI #ncurses

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/34290

1 of 3 GitHub Continuous Integration checks passed (the other two are queued, hopefully they'll run smoothly; though since one was OK already, that is a good sign at least!).

From the release notes: https://chrony-project.org/news.html it seems as if a lot of the new features? Are actually supporting OpenBSD!

So, that isn't really a big deal for MacPorts' users, though maybe OpenBSD users will think that chrony is worth checking out? Admittedly, the OpenBSD project already has OpenNTPD, though chrony: supports PTP too.

Observational curiosity: 4.9 was released, apparently exactly a year after 4.8 was released (August 27th). I am guessing maybe that was intentional?

🚀 MirrorMan v0.5.3 is out!

This release focuses on speed and offline resilience. Mirror status is now cached locally with HTTP ETag support, so MirrorMan skips re-downloading the ~200KB status payload when nothing has changed, and the GUI now loads the country list instantly with 0ms network delay. If your connection drops or times out, it falls back seamlessly to cached data instead of stalling or crashing.

Speed tests now run on a concurrent work-stealing queue instead of chunked batches, so slow or unreachable mirrors no longer stall the rest of the pool. A shared HTTP client across worker threads also cuts down on repeated TLS handshakes.

On the CLI side, mirrorman-cli sync and mirrorman-cli backup now go through the D-Bus helper with Polkit, so non-root users can sync and back up mirrorlists without permission errors. Backups rotate automatically, keeping the 10 most recent.

Also new: multi-country selection for filtering mirrors, and a man page for the CLI.

Update:

sudo pacman -Syu mirrorman

And another important lesson of this story; Richard Stallman was abd is always right about open source. Open source is a corporate trojan horse dressed as pragmatism. Free software is never about technical details but about ideology of software freedom, and any compromise of principles will lead to losing everything for nothing. #freesoftware #opensource #rms

Hi Mastodon! 👋 As a developer of Parch Linux (https://parchlinux.com), I need some advice. Does anyone know how DistroWatch tracks updates, or how to properly reach out to Linux news sites? It's FOSS reviewed us once, but we’ve made massive changes since: new custom tools, a rewritten installer UI, and more!

Tomorrow marks our 5th anniversary! 🎉 But despite publishing our updates, we're facing total radio silence. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but after 5 years, it honestly feels like a media boycott simply because of our project's origin (Iran). I didn't choose my nationality, and despite heavy restrictions, our team has built something we're proud of.

We even have Server and Mobile editions in active development, yet the mobile efforts seem ignored even here among FOSS enthusiasts.

How can we break this silence? Any advice is appreciated! 🐧❤️

#Linux #FOSS #OpenSource #LinuxMobile #LinuxDistro #TechNews #TechJournalism #ParchLinux

Here's how to automatically post to Mastodon: https://cromwell-intl.com/open-source/python-social-media-automation/?s=mb #OpenSource #Python #TwitterMigration

#OpenSource isn't only about sitting in the basement and writing code... sharing code is a social project...
Nobody has "the right" to demand anything from a maintainer... but if they behave like an ass the project will suffer from it

Linux: 35 years in 35 facts in 35 minutes - YouTube

youtube.com/watch?v=Ffl2DFHoZd…
#Linux #LinusTorvalds #OpenSource #LinuxFoundation #Android #Ubuntu #Debian

Vor 35 Jahren veröffentlichte Linus Torvalds einen Beitrag über ein kleines, experimentelles Betriebssystem, das er in Finnland entwickelte. Er hatte keine Ahnung, dass es zu einem der wichtigsten Bestandteile der Software-Infrastruktur weltweit werden würde.

In diesem Video stellen wir 35 Fakten vor, die die Geschichte von Linux erzählen – von seinen Anfängen als Hobbyprojekt bis hin zu seiner Rolle als Grundlage für Android, Cloud-Infrastruktur, Supercomputer, Entwicklertools und sogar Raumfahrzeuge.

Dabei werfen wir einen Blick auf die Unternehmen, Projekte und Menschen, die die unglaubliche Reise von Linux geprägt haben: Linus Torvalds, IBM, Red Hat, Google, Microsoft, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Docker, Git, Android, Ubuntu, Debian, die Linux Foundation, die NASA, Steam und viele mehr.

Wir beleuchten die Momente, die Linux für immer verändert haben – von den frühen Kämpfen um proprietäre Software und Microsofts Versuchen, Linux herauszufordern, bis hin zur Entwicklung von Git, dem Aufstieg von Linux in der Cloud, der Heartbleed-Sicherheitslücke, der XZ-Hintertür und dem riesigen Ökosystem von Unternehmen, die heute auf den Linux-Kernel angewiesen sind.

Vor allem aber ist dies nicht nur die Geschichte eines Betriebssystems.

Es ist eine Geschichte über Open Source, Zusammenarbeit, Gemeinschaft und darüber, was passiert, wenn man Technologie entwickelt, die letztlich kein einzelnes Unternehmen kontrollieren kann.

Vom Hobbyprojekt eines Studenten bis hin zu Software, die Milliarden von Geräten und einen Teil der weltweit wichtigsten Infrastruktur steuert – dies ist die Geschichte davon, wie Linux die Welt erobert hat.

In my search my for ever running search for knowledge, I started to see lemmy links more often. Way more often. Lemmy is gaining momentum if it's links seep in more and more in my FediVerse feeds.

I had deliberately stayed away from the drama which the reddit Overlords inflicted upon their users, with their LLM training fails. I have Reddit accounts which are basically Smurfs and were hardly used.

I was hoping that, since Lemmy is also federated, I could add an account through my Mastodon clients. It's quite clear that I didn't (bother) to read which Federated protocols Lemmy networks use, otherwise I would have known beforehand that it would fail.

Interestingly enough, I've had a Jerboa client installed on one of my androids without using it. Of course it was deleted after a while

Jerboa for lemmy is now run with a purpose, after deliberatly making a Lemmy account in the LemmyVerse. What I looked for was a server which does not reside in the USA (reasons should be obvious considering Little Donny the Orange President) so big tech USA has no grip on that account

Dla kogo jest GrapheneOS?

To system, który może zaspokoić potrzeby zarówno osób dbających o bezpieczeństwo, jak i tych, które pragną odzyskać prywatność.
Może też zainteresować użytkowników szukających prostego, czystego systemu. Bez zbędnych aplikacji, bez śmieci, które musisz wyłączać, odinstalowywać, lub jedynie deaktywować — jeśli fabrycznie zainstalowany śmietnik, nie może być usunięty.

▶Można inaczej
GrapheneOS idzie w zupełnie innym kierunku: zaczyna się od czystej bazy, to ty decydujesz, co i jak zainstalujesz. Dzięki teamu, od początku użytkownik ma czysto na starcie.

▶Przejęcie kontroli
GrapheneOS, tylko niezbędne minimum.
To użytkownik decyduje, jak i z czego będzie korzystać. Możliwości jest wiele, jako przykład weźmy instalowanie aplikacji.

a) Popularnie aplikacje można instawiać z Google Play, to w sumie tyle, takie proste!

🧩 Google Play w piaskownicy umożliwia instalację i uruchamianie Google Play jako zwykłych aplikacji w piaskownicy. Zapewnia niemal idealną kompatybilność aplikacji, z wyjątkiem rzadkich aplikacji, które zabraniają korzystania z innego systemu operacyjnego.

b) Bez usług Google. Instalacja aplikacji w łatwy sposób korzystając z Accrescent (obecnie baza aplikacji jest jeszcze mała, niedługo ma się to zmienić).
Kolejnym, znanym narzędziem jest Obtainium. Bardziej wymagająca metoda.
↪Korzystając z Obtainium zaleca się, by weryfikować aplikacje za pomocą AppVerifier, (dostępny w Accrescent, a ten dostępny w AppStore). 🙃
Warto też zerknąć na aplikacje AppVerifierPG - posiada bazę w celu łatwiejszej, „zautomatyzowanej" weryfikacji aplikacji.

There is something deeply satisfying about true data sovereignty.

No rate limits, no third-party APIs snooping on prompts, and zero cloud lock-in. Just raw self-hosted inference pulling 154 tok/s with an absurd 0.11s TTFT on local silicon.

Running Qwen with reasoning enabled, NVFP4 quantization on Blackwell, and SGLang speculative decoding. Crisp, private, and blazingly fast.

The future of AI belongs on your own hardware.
