Like, uh, thinking out loud here, but ... Assume you're an employed OSS developer. Your employer, your communities use what everyone does.

What happens to your source of income if you get hit by the US government (say, for referencing the regime with the appropriate adjectives, or even just too vocal about EU independence in the tech sector) and Microsoft/GitHub, Slack, Discord, Google/G Suite/Meet become impossible for you to use?

(Not so abstract now, is it.)

Some #OpenSource #software management advice please: If I am confronted with a large PR that let's say probably has a lot of LLM-generated code in it, what would your recommendations be for ways to check if chunks of it were duplicated from an open source repository (presumably without permission)?

The new year has also brought new innovations in BastilleBSD.

1) The BastilleBSD ISO is progressing. Slated to track releng/15.1.
2) Development on a bastille-api is coming along. We're testing and validating with multiple web interface options.
3) Updates to the bastillebsd.org website including more blog content and community resources.

If you're interested in contributing to any of these projects comment below.

Reminder: under GPL/AGPL, “Corresponding Source” includes everything needed to build and modify the work. That means AI prompts, generated scripts, and config files as well. Don’t leave them out.

"The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities."

And honestly, without lying: I don’t have a knack for design so yes, I use AI tools for logos because I’m not even slightly into design. Sad!

As Frank said, the better way would probably be by providing alternatives and contributing to projects instead of ranting. Ranting is easy, long-term contributing isn’t!

Working on an open source drum sander, need to come up with a clever way to fix all these 3 parts together. Any suggestions? I'm thinking locking collars and through bolts for the disc to the shaft. Drum to the disc is as yet unsolved.

I put together a tool for making your website or project docs easily available to AI assistants via an MCP server. This helps ensure people's AI tooling can access the latest details at the right time. For instance, this is how REMnux users now can get info about its malware analysis tools.

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.

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. ;)

Also, thanks to lxo, violette, fruye and to anyone else who may have helped contributed to this release!

I've submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.86 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/30669

Currently one of three Continuous Integration checks passed (which is a good sign the other two will probably pass soon too).

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