GNU gettext reaches v1.0 after Thirty 30 years!

GNU Gettext is vital in translating programs to different languages

Quote

GNU gettext is an important step for the GNU Translation Project, as it is an asset on which we may build many other steps. This package offers to programmers, translators, and even users, a well integrated set of tools and documentation. Specifically, the GNU gettext utilities are a set of tools that provides a framework to help other GNU packages produce multi-lingual messages.

5 reason why these days Linux is actually EASIER to deal with than Windows 11 (and it's AI bullshit)

- Linux does what you tell it, not what it thinks you want
- System updates are predictable and respectful
- The desktop stays out of your way
- Software is lighter and more focused
- Troubleshooting is clearer, not more opaque

Spenden und Mitarbeit in Open-Source-Projekten sind nicht nur „wichtig“, sie sind existenzielle Notwendigkeiten für das digitale Ökosystem, von dem wir alle abhängen.

Punkt 7. Open Source bietet einzigartige Langzeitverfügbarkeit und reduziert das Risiko des Vendor-Lock-in ,wenn die Gemeinschaft sie trägt.

Die Geschichte proprietärer Software ist geprägt von plötzlichen Produkteinstellungen, drastischen Lizenzänderungen und strategischen Kehrtwenden einzelner Konzerne. Diese Abhängigkeit von einem Anbieter stellt ein existenzielles Risiko dar. Daten, Prozesse und ganze Geschäftsmodelle können in einer digitalen Sackgasse landen aus der nur teure und riskante Notfallmigrationen führen. Beispiele dafür sind eingestellte Cloud‑Dienste oder Entwicklungsplattformen deren Nutzer binnen kurzer Zeit zu kostspieligen Alternativen gezwungen wurden.

Open Source verändert dieses Risiko grundlegend. Sie verspricht keine Ewigkeit, bietet aber etwas Entscheidenderes technologische Handlungsfähigkeit und die Möglichkeit zur Kontinuität. Der offene Quellcode bleibt zugänglich und kann auch dann weitergeführt werden, wenn sich das ursprüngliche Entwicklerteam zurückzieht. Projekte wie LibreOffice oder der Linux‑Kernel zeigen wie Software über Jahrzehnte hinweg weiterlebt, weil Wissen und Verantwortung auf viele Schultern verteilt sind.

Die Kehrseite dieser Freiheit ist ihre Abhängigkeit von einer aktiven Gemeinschaft. Ein Open‑Source‑Projekt ohne ausreichende Ressourcen kann stagnieren Sicherheitsupdates verzögern sich und Innovation bleibt aus. Das Risiko verschiebt sich damit vom vollständigen Kontrollverlust hin zu einer kollektiven Verantwortung für Pflege und Weiterentwicklung.

Gerade darin liegt die eigentliche Stärke des Modells. Open Source ersetzt die passive Abhängigkeit durch eine aktive Gestaltungsrolle. Jede Beteiligung sei es durch Code finanzielle Unterstützung oder organisatorisches Engagement ist eine direkte Investition in die Zukunftsfähigkeit der eingesetzten Technologie.

So wird Open Source zu einer tragfähigen Strategie für langfristige technologische Souveränität. Sie entzieht sich der Abhängigkeit von Einzelanbietern und überträgt Verantwortung und Kontrolle dorthin wo sie hingehören zu den Menschen und Organisationen, die die Software nutzen und von ihr abhängen.

Good news, it didn't fuck up my system. Did notice accessing my password databse on keepassxc "feels" slightly faster than the vanilla or zen kernel.

I've been using keepassxc ever since I started using Linux, so I know how long that stuff takes, but I'm reserving my judgment until I've used it for at least 3 weeks.

I'm currently using the default cachyos kernel, but I've decided to have the BORE one a go first. Just need to reboot to get to it.

Have you ever tried to contribute to an EU opensource project hosted at

https://code.europa.eu?

I did and failed.

Why?

#DigitalAutonomy #DigitalSovereignty #OpenSource #EU #Tech

You need to sign in to contribute, so you need an account.

You need to create an account on 'EU login' which seems to be the EU single sign-on system for this.

I managed to create an account on 'EU login' & logged into my account.

However I am not allowed to login into code.europa.eu yet.

I need to add some kind of multi factor authentication first.

Ok, safety first, I can imagine why...supply chain attacks anyone....

What are my options?

#OpenSource #Tech #EU

Sounds doable. Oh snag! The interface does not allow me to pick a passkey like the Help sections show.

Apparently Passkeys are not supported anymore!?

I have quit a high-tolerance for bureaucracy, opaque rules & stupid systems, but I'm not going to waste anymore time on this for now. I just wanted to discuss a possible bug 😩

Please @EC_OSPO @EC_DIGIT or whoever, fix this horrible system & enable participation by the wider opensource community.

I built my own personal cloud using Docker on a home server.

Over the past year, I replaced most of SaaS tools with self-hosted alternatives focused on privacy, control, and simplicity.

Low hardware usage. No subscriptions. Full data ownership.

I just shared the full breakdown in my latest blog 👇

https://dev.to/cyberdev_/my-top-5-self-hosted-tools-running-on-my-home-server-via-docker-52c5

#SelfHosting #Docker #HomeLab #OpenSource #DevOps

Found the culprit! It was the `max_id` parameter in `/api/v1/timeline/api/v1/timelines/home` endpoint.

The code inside Tokodon is as follows:

```cpp
// maintimelinemodel.cpp

if (!fromId.isEmpty() && !query.hasQueryItem(QStringLiteral("max_id"))) {
// TODO: this is an *upper bound* so it always is one less than the last post we read
// is this really how it's supposed to work wrt read markers?
query.addQueryItem(QStringLiteral("max_id"), fromId);
}

```

This code can be searched via `max_id` keyword. You need to comment out the `query.addQueryItem` line and Tokodon will work just fine.

I think this is a BUG for the following reasons:

1. `max_id` invalidation failure
2. Lack of retry logic w/o this query item when we know API response (`data` variable) is empty.
3. When user logged out, all such data should be deleted as well. A full logout from the app should've reset this data.

A part of me thinks this info was sent by Mastodon server as part of my account info.

OpenStreetMap is concerned: thousands of AI bots are collecting data

Bots are said to be harvesting OpenStreetMap data on a large scale. This costs money and endangers the project.

What do you want to see from Mozilla in the future? As a longtime and respected open source professional, I finally want to have a good answer when someone asks me, "What has Mozilla done for us lately?" I haven't had that answer for many a year. The perception of Mozilla in the greater open source community is that of a company that breaks its promises (where's Pocket?) and panders to big tech, unwilling or unable to take a strong principled stance lest it lose its grip on its purse strings. Mozilla has flailed, starting and ending what feels like more products/projects than Google. It needs to refocus on its mission and double-down on regaining the trust of the community. I do NOT want to see a focus on AI. At all. It's a red herring that's distracting from the mission, not an add-on to it. Furthermore, the ethics of AI (no matter its source) are questionable at best. Aside from IP and other concerns, even the most "open" AI still contributes greatly to degrading our environment. Anything beyond eschewing this tech trend feels antithetical to Mozilla's mission and brand.

@pixelate Hi, thank you for your feedback on accessibility and open source technologies. I always read your posts with great interest in order to improve the accessibility of FreeBSD, a UNIX and open source operating system.

At the FreeBSD Developer Summit in Dublin 2024, I showed other developers (using simulators) the challenges faced by color-blind, low-vision, and blind users. The @FreeBSDFoundation is currently sponsoring the "Vision Accessibility" project to improve accessibility for users with visual impairments.

At the Developer Summit in Zagreb 2025, I presented the new accessibility handbook https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/accessibility/ focused on the assistive technologies currently available in the system, including practical examples to help developers better understand these challenges.

I am in contact with organizations supporting people with low vision, blindness, and deafblindness to implement Braille display subsystem for FreeBSD and to develop interfaces specifically designed to be used with screen readers.

Any feedback or suggestions are very welcome.

There are some somewhat philosophical question in this discussion, e.g.:
- If an #Intel chip is manufactured in #Taiwan, is it an #america|n chip or a Taiwanese chip?
- If the main maintainer of an #opensource software m (or a foundation supporting the project) is from the #US, does that mean the project is "american"?
- If you have a large project (such as a #Linux distribution) that contains hundreds of other projects, where is it coming from?

I think ultimately this discussion comes down to: "Who is in control of your device, it's software and your data?"

With #opensource software, such as #Linux, I'd argue you have much more control of your device and your data than with #Windows, #OneDrive, #Office365, #Recall and all that stuff. That's why #Signal is great, even though it's from the #USA.

I proposed #Linux because it's your *ticket* out of the ecosystem.

Looks like Cloudflare has cracked the code with it's new open-source AI agent Moltbot, based on Claude.

Cloudflare's stocks are up for now, but here's what this bot does if you're careless:

"The bot acts as a personal assistant, autonomously taking actions without human prompting by accessing files and applications on a user’s computer. After downloading the software from GitHub, users can use Moltbolt to connect their personal devices to large language models and can text the bot commands through WhatsApp, iMessage and other chat apps."

Spenden und Mitarbeit in Open-Source-Projekten sind nicht nur „wichtig“, sie sind existenzielle Notwendigkeiten für das digitale Ökosystem, von dem wir alle abhängen.

6. Innovation entsteht durch Kooperation, nicht durch Isolation!

Im proprietären Modell ist Softwareentwicklung ein geschlossener Raum. Der Fortschritt wird durch die interne Roadmap, die verfügbaren Ressourcen und oft auch durch die kurzfristigen Profitinteressen eines einzelnen Unternehmens begrenzt.

Wissen wird gehütet, Fehler vertuscht und Entwicklungswege sind linear. Diese Isolation mag zu kontrollierten Produkten führen, erstickt aber jene Art von sprunghafter, unvorhersehbarer Innovation, die entsteht, wenn Ideen frei zirkulieren und sich unerwartet verbinden.

Offene Entwicklungsmodelle erweitern diesen Horizont. Open Source macht Zusammenarbeit zum Prinzip und erlaubt es, Perspektiven aus unterschiedlichen fachlichen, kulturellen und praktischen Kontexten zusammenzuführen. Probleme werden nicht nur gelöst, sondern oft neu verstanden. Gerade dieser Perspektivwechsel ist eine zentrale Quelle für Innovation.

Der offene Charakter ermöglicht es, dass Ideen in neuen Zusammenhängen auftauchen, weiterverwendet und neu kombiniert werden. Lösungen entwickeln sich nicht linear, sondern verzweigt, experimentell und oft unerwartet. Innovation wird dadurch weniger planbar, aber deutlich vielfältiger.

Damit dieser Prozess funktioniert, braucht es stabile Rahmenbedingungen. Offenheit allein erzeugt noch keine Innovation. Erst wenn Menschen Zeit, Aufmerksamkeit und Ressourcen einbringen können, entsteht ein Umfeld, in dem Neues wachsen kann. Unterstützung sichert nicht den Output einzelner Ideen, sondern den Raum, in dem Innovation überhaupt möglich wird.

Has there been any studies or similar research to establish whether or not GenAI has introduced more vulnerabilities across open source software, or improved it?

And a related and IMHO interesting research would be whether or not GenAI has helped uncover more vulnerabilities in open source software than before?
