@dianea I wish donating to #opensource projects and working on them could count as voluntary work. Then the amount of money could be deducted from taxes and the work has some more advantages

I'm happy to share some more insights about the project, development stages, integration of the ProxTools collection (like #ProxLB, #ProxPatch, #ProxSnap,...) and more! We'll end up in a live demo of PegaProx, orchestrating several Proxmox clusters, XCP-ng based ones and maybe I'll have already finished another great thing until that date 🙂

If you've been wanting to move your activity history from Strava to FitPub but dreaded dealing with the export files, I made a small browser tool that does the heavy lifting.

Drop in your Strava export files, it decompresses the .fit.gz files, splits everything into correctly-sized ZIP batches, and hands them back for upload. No install, no server, runs entirely in your browser.

@OvertonDoors @adulau

I don't think that anybody doubts that "Europe" could make a Palantir clone if motivated. There is nothing unique or special behind the creators of Palantir (at least in ways that should be encouraged or idealized) or its people working there (anybody who's had the experience to work with them or use their products will tell you that). However what is/was unique is the petri dish conditions in which such a monstrosity was not only able to be born, but nurtured, engineered, and designed to amplify all the worst character traits, ideals, and values of someone who learned all the wrong lessons from growing up in Apartheid South Africa and who seems hell bent on doing everything they can turn back the clock to re-create those conditions on a global scale with his companies "products" and "innovations". The framing of legal questions and issues as excuses and roadblocks as the very reason why the US outpacing Europe in specific technologies is an interesting one, but also an extremely problematic one if you are not a fan of societies of authoritarianism and fascism. It is no coincidence that ALL of the tech produced with the :us-flag: next to it is, or becomes, authoritarian, colonialist, and/or fascist friendly; they are the essential tools required in order for the US to maintain hegemony through extortion, theft, violence, and intimidation both globally and abroad (including here in Europe and against Europeans). Again, making it obvious why former beneficiaries from apartheid looking to relive those glory days (Thiel, Musk) and their wannabes/acolytes find such fertile ground to succeed there. So in light of that, this begs the question. If we can plainly see that the promotion and application of these technologies and ideals leads us back down roads we vowed we would never again travel, why do so many of us here in Europe rush to smash the "CTRL-C/CTRL-V" buttons each and every time the topic/opportunity arises. Do you/we all think you'll/we'll be wearing the boots instead of licking them this time? The area Europe needs to take leadership in, is addressing the "Building a Orwellian surveillance state" like the US is, and has been doing, is easy; so not tackle how we can do it too, but rather, should we? Instead we/Europe should look to answer; what is the better solution that is more democratically innovative even though it will also be probably more difficult in order to encourages the creation and maintenance of a society the VAST majority of us want. Instead of demanding that Europe rush to tear down the "bureaucracy", "restrictions", and "legal" issues (aka democratically ethical considerations) in order to let "tech" and "innovation" thrive, we need to demand that more focus and innovation is placed in to the creation of regulation and guard rails to ensure that we don't create the same conditions that the USA has in allowing the most feudalistic, fascist, racist, or authoritarian of us thrive. As you illustrated with your examples in your blog, the technology and development is the easy part; it is like a gold fish (well, more like a shark), it will grow into the tank we provide for it and as large and dangerous as we allow it to.

#Stellarium is one of the most fascinating, wonderful, valuable #opensource project. It helps me a lot getting started with #astronomy. I have absolutely no idea how those folks programmed it, how may work it needed.

Sovereignty Is Engineered, Not Procured

Europe often asks whether it can build a company like Palantir: a software champion capable of serving intelligence, defence, law enforcement, crisis response, cyber defence, and public-sector decision-making at scale.

The usual answer is that Europe lacks data, capital, talent, or legal room. I do not think this is the full story.

The capacity is there. The data is there. The technical talent is there. The public-sector problems are real, urgent, and interesting. What is often missing is the will to tackle complex programmes seriously, over time, with teams that are allowed to build, fail, iterate, and take responsibility.

Europe does not need a Palantir clone. It needs the capacity to build strategic software for intelligence and security missions without outsourcing the core of its thinking.

- Einfachere Skriptausführung auf beiden Betriebssystemen
- Mehr Transparenz für Open‑Source‑Tools

RT @sudoingX: Vor einem Jahr war dies auf einer einzelnen Consumer-GPU noch nicht möglich. Heute ist es einfach möglich, und ich bin immer noch ein wenig überwältigt davon. Google hat vor zwei Tagen Gemma 4 12b veröffentlicht, und ich habe es auf einer einzelnen 3090 geladen. Nativ multimodal: Text, Bild, Video, Audio – alles in einem einzigen Modell, ohne separate Encoder, die nachträglich angehängt wurden. 256k Kontextfenster, Apache 2.0-Lizenz, Gewichte, die ich tatsächlich besitze und die ich für immer offline betreiben kann. Und das Ding läuft tatsächlich: Vollständiges Reasoning aktiviert, der gesamte 256k-Kontext passt in 16 GB VRAM, mit weiteren 8 GB Reserve. Ich saß da und sah zu, wie es eine Frage Token für Token in seiner eigenen Reasoning-Trace durchdachte, auf einer Grafikkarte, die weniger kostet als eine Monatsrechnung einiger API-Dienste, in meinem eigenen Terminal, ohne Internetverbindung. Die daraus resultierenden Texte sind wirklich scharf, mit klarer Struktur und echter Kohärenz. Ich teste immer noch, wo es an seine Grenzen stößt; jedes kleine Modell hat eine Obergrenze, und ich werde genau zeigen, wo diese liegt. Aber die Tatsache, dass diese Leistungsfähigkeit jetzt auf einen Schreibtisch passt, ist der Punkt, bei dem ich nicht mehr zur Ruhe komme. Vor einem Jahr bedeutete dies einen API-Schlüssel und einen Rechenzentrum von jemand anderem, das jeden Token beobachtet hat. Jetzt ist es eine Box auf meinem Schreibtisch, die mir gehört. Open Source ist wieder angesagt, und sie bewegt sich schneller, als die großen Labore es einkalkulieren. Sudo su (@sudoingX): Das ist…

Hi everyone! 👋 I know it's been a while since I was last here, but I had a very specific reason for it. I've spent the last few months with my small team intensely developing a project I mentioned to you once before. Every moment of my inactivity here was simply coding, designing the architecture, and endlessly solving problems

Today, I am proud to announce - LibreConnect has moved past the phase of vague plans and become a fully functional app!

We managed to deliver what was absolutely most important to us - an ecosystem connecting your 💻 computer and 📱 smartphone that respects your privacy 100%. Zero external clouds and hidden telemetry. Everything is based exclusively on a direct P2P connection within your local network and strong E2E encryption 🔐

So, what can our app actually do?
- Virtual camera and microphone from your phone
- Mobile device file manager right from your PC 📁
- Notification and clipboard synchronization 📋
- Receiving and sending SMS/MMS from your computer 💬
- Two-way media playback control 🎵
- Remote keyboard and presentation control from your phone
- Finding your phone by triggering a loud alarm (overriding silent mode) 🚨
- And a few other minor conveniences

We also made sure the project is truly cross-platform. LibreConnect runs natively on Linux, macOS, Windows, and Android. It's worth mentioning that the app isn't limited to just x86_64 architecture - we support ARM64 as well! To make updates easier, we've set up our own F-Droid repository, along with native packages for Linux package managers (APT, DNF, Pacman)

The code is 100% open-source under the GNU GPL v3.0 license However, I have to be honest - the project is still very young. The app is highly usable, but it still requires optimization, might have some silly bugs, and can occasionally be unstable 🐛

That's why we need you so much right now. For the continued development of this app to make any sense, we need a small but engaged user base. I encourage you to install it, test it out, and report bugs, and for those interested - to join the project as contributors (you'll find a CONTRIBUTING.md in the repo) 🤝

If you like our vision, leaving a star ⭐ on our GitHub repository is the form of support we would appreciate the most. It's these stars that will allow us to take the project out into the world! Because of this, for the next few days, my activity here will focus mainly on promoting the app and its features - we need your help to build the right momentum. Thank you in advance for your support!

RE: https://hamishcampbell.com/the-eus-tech-sovereignty-plan/

So well put: " #OpenSource is not simply a collection of code repositories, it survives because communities maintain it.

"The danger is that #Europe treats open source as a procurement strategy rather than a social ecosystem.

"Beyond #sovereignty is the deeper question – not whether Europe controls its technology stack. The deeper question is whether citizens control the systems that shape their lives."

Bruce Firmware: What I Found and How I Got There
Affects: Every board running Bruce firmware or the bmorcelli launcher

I was working on a fix for a hardware variant that runs Bruce firmware. I went into the source code and started noticing things about the wider Bruce firmware ecosystem that I was not expecting. One thing led to another, and I ended up mapping out a supply chain attack chain, finding a steganographic signaling system, profiling the developers in the ecosystem, and tracing a contributor's infrastructure back ten years through public certificate logs.

These findings are about the Bruce firmware project as a whole. The device I was working on was just the door I walked through.

Here's what I found and the road I took to find it.

Anyone who knows me, knows exactly how attached I am to #LinuxMint (LMDE) @linuxmint .

I've been using LinuxMint since version 4.0 and #LMDE since version 2.0, and I've always been extremely satisfied.

Currently, however, a veritable "revolution" is taking place on my computer.

Why? I've discovered #MXLinux @mxlinux in its various flavors, and I have to say I'm thrilled. The ease of use, speed, and usability are phenomenal. Even my almost 15-year-old Packard Bell netbook runs stably and smoothly with it.

Sorry, Clément Lefèbvre, but it seems I've discovered a new "favorite Linux" after many years.

My primary desktop will probably not be updated to LMDE 7 anytime soon; instead, I'll take the opportunity to migrate it to MXLinux as well.

Just to be clear, I'm not turning my back on LinuxMint/LMDE because something isn't quite right! I'm switching because I've found a distribution that makes my daily work even easier and that I'm really impressed with.

Despite everything, LinuxMint remains my top recommendation when it comes to suggesting a distribution to someone switching from Windows.

Therefore, with mixed feelings, I say thank you to Clement and his team for the great work you do. I have really enjoyed working with LMDE, but perhaps now is the time to "discover new worlds."

"Das beste Werkzeug für den Job."
Mit diesem Satz wird in der IT jede unbequeme Frage wegdiskutiert und beerdigt. Er klingt nach Pragmatismus und ist in Wahrheit die ideologischste Aussage der gesamten Branche.
Denn er tut so, als wäre die Wahl einer Programmiersprache eine rein technische. Ist sie nicht. War sie niemals.
C# gehört Microsoft. Java gehört Oracle. Go gehört Google. Swift gehört Apple.
Wer eine Sprache wählt, wählt einen Eigentümer mit, samt dessen Roadmap, Lizenzpolitik und Support-Ende.
Ein Compiler ist ein politisches Artefakt, auch wenn er sich als reine Technik tarnt.

Rust fällt aus der Reihe. Kein Konzern als Besitzer, sondern eine vendorneutrale Stiftung. Keine fremdgesteuerte Runtime, die sich zwischen deinen Code und deine Maschine schiebt, sondern ein freistehendes Binary, das in zehn Jahren noch läuft. Die schöne Ironie: bezahlt wird das unter anderem von genau den Hyperscalern, gegen deren Lock-In-Logik es sich richtet. Sie haben ein Werkzeug mitfinanziert, das sie nicht besitzen. Und das sich jederzeit forken lässt.

Eine Sprache, die niemandem gehört, ist natürlich kein Garant für Souveränität.
Aber sie ist eine Sprache, mit der man sie sich nehmen kann. Ohne Erlaubnis.

Der neue Pandolin ist jetzt online:
