Wer 8.8.8.8 nutzt, hat die Kontrolle verloren. Bequemlichkeit ist der Käfig, den Big Tech uns gebaut hat. 🤷‍♂️

Ich habe den Stecker gezogen. In Teil 3 des Project Rebel Homebase bauen wir echte Souveränität.

Kein „Zwei Pi-holes im DHCP“-Gebastel. Sondern High Availability mit Keepalived, Unbound & virtueller IP. Overkill? Vielleicht. Aber mein „Stormtrooper“ verfehlt sein Ziel nicht. 🎯

Die Anleitung zur Unabhängigkeit:

Der 'Rebel Cube' Homelab-Server im schwarz-weißen Stormtrooper-Design. Der Aufbau von oben nach unten: Ein ZimaBlade mit NVMe-SSDs, zwei Raspberry Pi CM4 Blades als redundanter DNS-Cluster, ein 2.5G PoE-Switch und ein 10G-Switch als Basis.

Neulich habe ich einen Bericht im Fernsehen gesehen, wo unter anderem die #OpenSource Minidrohne #Crazyflie von #Bitcraze gezeigt wurde. Fliegt indoor, wiegt knappe 30g, unter 10cm klein.
Ich dachte mir: Nettes Spielzeug. Mal schauen, was das kostet. Nur mal so for fun eine kaufen.
Die rufen doch für so ein kleines Ding allen Ernstes $285,60 auf. Denen brennt doch echt der Helm.

Deno installation on Linux is luckily also trivial. I did it in Debian based distributions, on X86 and ARM.

Deno is needed for ytdlp because a full JavaScript stack needs to be invoked to tame the Beast of YouTube. Ytdlp does not need deno anywhere else.

It's still the only way to ensure that Alphabet gets the least information possible from you, when you have to fetch some data that is served from there. Thanks to ytdlp I play with typescript in deno

@aredridel While I don't use or like TailwindCSS as a tool, I think it's nice to see community tools like this develop & succeed. And finding ways to monetize open source as a creator is what the industry needs.

But #OpenSource is an ideal that's really at odds with human nature. The licenses that became standardized for OSS really needed to have clauses for commercial use or use over $x of revenue needing to contribute back financially. It becomes unsustainable at scale. 💔

There are many ways to multi material….

Once again I have an #askfedi question regarding #android #apps, ideally #opensource:
What is your favorite #gallery app?
- The original gallery from #eOS allows only crop in very few formats.
- #fossify gallery crops to many formats, but has no straighten/rotation tool (only 90° increments).

I am happy for any suggestions.

Pre-released Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-alpha.0-3: https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mastodon-bird-ui/releases/tag/4.0.0-alpha.0-3

tl;dr: It now includes a build system and is much lighter than the previous versions. Only compatible with Mastodon 4.6.0 alpha versions.

The first two versions of Google's #AlphaFold software (to predict protein folding) were #OpenSource, including the one that earned its developers the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. There were no restrictions on commercial use. But the third and most recent version blocks free commercial use, and is poised to earn $100+ billion from partnerships with #pharma companies. Then three MIT students reverse-engineered AlphaFold 3 and released their OSS model, called #Boltz, with no restrictions on commercial reuse. Like Red Hat, the Boltz team is making good money selling services while leaving the software free and open.

The EU, as well as every country in the world, should be taking seriously the importance of sovereign systems for communicating and disseminating information.

The ActivityPub protocol is proven and makes many platforms compatible and accessible to each other, allowing for effective information sharing and communication.

The only reason many people do not leave X is that many important services and public figures remain on that platform. Therefore, if countries truly care about digital sovereignty and resilience, they should adopt and promote the use of open source platforms and networks based on the ActivityPub protocol, whether it is Mastodon, Pleroma, Vebinet, or another platform.

The EU is working on what is in essence a new Open Source strategy for Europe, and the call for evidence is now open. This is our cue to provide feedback and input to the strategy!

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.87 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/30679

It's churning through GitHub Continuous Integration checks (1 of 3 passed so far which is a good sign the other two will complete successfully).

It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

p.s. the other day I read your napcop proposal and I dig the acronym. ;)
