“Germany has strictly standardised its digital document requirements. The Deutschland-Stack (in Deutsch), the country’s new sovereign digital infrastructure framework, names just two document formats that public administrations are allowed to use: ODF and PDF/UA.”

When public administrations run on proprietary document formats, they end up dependent on the vendor that controls those formats, with no real way out without significant disruption and cost.

This would help Germany ensure they could switch between various open standard office suites without losing access to their documents in future. This gives freedom of choice and more competition in the market.

The Tiiny AI Pocket Lab: Goodbye Cloud Subscriptions! Hello, 120B Parameters in My Pocket🛠️🦾

I just got my hands on the Tiiny AI Pocket Lab, and it’s officially breaking the “Cloud dependence” loop.

120B Parameters? Locally.
Internet? Not needed.
Privacy? 100%.

While everyone else is paying $20/month to let Big Tech read their prompts, this 300g beast is running Llama 3 and DeepSeek locally at 20+ tokens/sec.

It’s got 80GB of RAM (yes, in a pocket device) and runs at just 65W. Guinness World Record holder for a reason. 🏆

The Tiiny AI Pocket Lab is the first credible challenge to the cloud-only AI model. For enterprises and researchers, the value proposition is simple:

Security: Zero-latency, zero-cloud data processing.
Cost: No per-token fees or monthly subscriptions.
Power: 80GB LPDDR5X RAM in a 300g form factor.
This isn’t just a “mini-PC.” It’s a shift toward Edge Intelligence. When you can run a 120B model locally at 65W, the “setup tax” of AI disappears.

The future isn’t in a data center; it’s in your palm.

Is your organization ready for the shift from Cloud AI to Private AI?

🔧 Tool: Malwoverview v8.0 — Release and Repository Metadata

Malwoverview is presented in the release artifacts as at version 8.0 with the codename “Revolutions.” The repository metadata highlights the author as Alexandre Borges and states the software license as the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 3 or later. Release badges included in the repository metadata indicate recent activity metrics such as latest release by date, last commit, release date, license, GitHub stars and monthly/total download counters.

Repository automation is evidenced by a CodeQL code scanning badge. The release bundle appears to include multiple screenshots illustrating the project UI or outputs. A clear privacy-related statement appears in the release notes: Malwoverview does NOT submit samples to any external endpoint by default, explicitly noting respect for possible Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). The release text is truncated in the provided input where it begins to reference specific options that explicitly ... but the available text confirms there are configurable options affecting sample submission behavior.

From the available metadata, key observable points are: the project is actively versioned (v8.0, Revolutions), it is published under GPLv3 terms, the maintainer/author identity is declared, automated code scanning is integrated, and the project communicates a conservative default around handling malware samples to avoid involuntary data sharing. The presence of download statistics and release badges signals user distribution telemetry is being tracked and surfaced.

Hey infosec folks 👋

I’ve been working on **GhostIntel** — a free, open-source OSINT & threat-intelligence CLI framework written in Python.

MIT licensed — fork it, modify it, integrate it into your workflow.

The idea was simple: during investigations I kept jumping between multiple OSINT sites and tools, so I started building a CLI that could enrich indicators directly from the terminal.

Drop almost anything into GhostIntel and it will try to figure it out automatically:

→ username · email · phone · domain · IP

What it can do right now:

👤 Username → checks 100+ platforms in parallel
📱 Phone → carrier + region intelligence (ID · US · UK · MY · IN)
📧 Email → MX · SPF · DMARC · Gravatar · disposable detection
🌐 Domain → DNS records + HTTP status inspection
🌍 IP → geolocation · reverse DNS · RDAP (ARIN · RIPE · APNIC · LACNIC · AFRINIC) · proxy detection

📊 Reports → export investigation results to JSON · HTML · TXT

Async-powered so lookups can run concurrently.

No API keys required.
No configuration needed.
Everything uses publicly available OSINT sources.

Built from Indonesia 🇮🇩 for the global OSINT / infosec community.

If anyone here works in:

• threat intelligence
• OSINT investigations
• SOC / DFIR
• bug bounty research

I’d genuinely appreciate your feedback.

→ What sources should be added?
→ What would improve your investigation workflow?
→ Anything broken or behaving weirdly?

Suggestions, criticism, and PRs are all welcome.

I've been using Standard Notes for a while. It's much handier to type in your toots & posts in a nice editor, than in the puny port in the web interfaces of mastodon and other web interfaces.

I started to look for a handy solution when I began typing long posts on my Androids

• phone interfaces suck balls when you have a tall corpus
• touch screen keyboards suck major
• everything is too small
• fingers slam & flow over on other letters than touched
• typing errors are major
• auto correct is a must but a privacy hell (exposing everything you write to Alphabet / google)
• It takes 10 times longer to type in a short post on a Android capacitive interface with auto correction keyboard and word suggestion enabled
• In comes the saviour

Standard Notes is double encrypted, markdown capable, auto-synchronizes and available on all platforms you work in

• have a browser ready with JavaScript and tls
• Standard Notes has MFA 2FA encryption for your account
• paid extras of the service are not needed here
• you may enable them if you choose to thave that convenience
• I use md editors on my machines to have previews of my markdown formatted notes
• On Linux I use the powerful ghostwriter which uses very powerful libraries
• pandoc version 3.1.11.1
• cmark version 0.30.2
• multimarkdown version 1.35
• These tools and libs make my markdown experience incredible smooth, surpassing what Standard Notes has to offer

Today I learned about Listed when I walked down the Standard Notes preferences

• Listed is linked to Standard Notes
• Listed is free (as in beer)
• You can blog you secure notes when you explicitly choose to do so
• You have to enter your super long (64 character) password to blog a note standard remark 1
• A key pair is generated to enable standard notes to publish that one note in your blog
• You have to enter your password for every note you want to blog [logical since notes are per default secure and private]
• The blogging port is timer based 60 seconds is the shortest timer
• You have to manually update your Listed blog post
• Listed blog posts are presented in a nice clean and fast interface on port 443
• Listed can be configured to your own taste including your gravatar

remarks

• Your passwords should be really long, use password managers to process them
• make sure you have weird characters in them
• make it a PITA to enter the passwords manually
• use MFA 2FA everywhere you make accounts
• There is no cloud just somebody elses server

audacity v3.7.5

I've gotten a nice present with the recent version of audacity as presented in MX Linux my desktop distro of choice. The latest is version v3.7.7 just wait for the version the current one on in MX Linux is v3.7.5.

This version has new file format based features, which of course means the data files are not backward compatible

features since v3.6

• Master effects

• Audacity has master effects! Master effects are effects which apply to the entire project at once. More information can be found at Audacity Support: Using master effects & realtime effects.

• New compressor / limiter

• A new compressor and limiter have been added, replacing the previous versions.

• A gain reduction history has been added to these effects when they’re used as a realtime effect.

• Factory Presets suitable for a wide range of use cases for these effects have been provided by Vladislav Isaev and Marek Iwaszkiewicz, available via the Presets & Settings button.

• New themes

• Audacity has new and improved dark and light themes.

• switch between themes via Preferences -> Interface.

• The theme previously used still is around as Classic theme, and themes even older than that can be optionally installed as custom themes.

• Updated instructions on creating custom themes can be found here [link]

• Increased performance

• Audacity is now quite a bit snappier than before, especially when working on larger projects and on larger screens.

BUGS

Audacity has a long standing bug which is a buffer overflow error when you want to edit projects larger than 100 hours.

What happens is that the cursor loops at exactly 99:59:59 hours back to 00:00:00 hours effectively making editing beyond 100 hours impossible.

work around

What I do is simply record past the rollover, do everything live, meaning make no mistakes and chop the project into pieces if something has to be edited in post production. It's an annoyance but it works

I currently have a project which is aimed at 120 hours. I will keep you posted on the bug

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/31754

1 of 3 GitHub Continuous Integration checks passed (the other two are queued, but hopefully will complete without issues).

Not really much new here, more just syncing with upstream, which tagged a new release version for 7.9-beta.

tbh, I think this signify fork can probably ditch a lot of the OpenBSD keys? MacPorts (which also uses signify, from an older fork) does the same thing too. I looked into cleaning up that code a little bit to sync MacPorts' built-in signify, with this, but didn't get very far with it last time I gave it a go (there are some functions OpenBSD has, which older versions of OS X don't and someone else already did the heavy lifting for MacPorts' built-in signify a while ago and re-creating their work was more than I was able to bite off and chew on a Friday night the last time I went looking).

Anyway, assuming the other CI checks pass, it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

I got into #FLOSS because it was a community-driven approach to making computers empower people. Now, #opensource means "free training data for someone else's LLM."

I could ask, "What is the future of open source software," but I think that's the wrong question. I'd rather contemplate what community-driven, human-centering computing can look like in the era of scraping and slop.

Do all of you remember and understand the fundamental meaning why #opensource and any GPL related licenses?

The meaning of "free" in here is not about "gratis", not as free as beer, but freedom, like free as speech.

You can use the others if you don't like. Even u can fork and modify if u want.

Yes, it's our right too to criticize, but please do in ethical ways. Honour their works. Not just spreading hates.

Blind hates just showing you're a fool.

Liegt es an #Leap, oder an mir?

Nun habe ich als Hauptsystem ein Rechner mit vorinstallierten Leap ergattert und stoße immer wieder auf Probleme, die müsselig per Terminal aus dem Weg geschaffen werden müssen.

@ActuallyAutistic after a false start (thanks for your patience @murdoc ), I have the #Voxelibre server set up now.

My sense is to not just leave it up all the time, but rather only run it for a set, loosely agreed-upon, recurring period of time each weekend. This is so that people can expect to see each other over time in a friendly way. This is instead of making it available 24/7, and people rarely ever pop by, never form any sense of familiarity with anyone else.

I'm thinking a fixed period time every Sunday night (the fixed period pattern starting next week) would be most suitable. BTW: Luanti works in #Android (find it in F-Droid), so it can be played even from a smartphone or tablet:
https://f-droid.org/packages/net.minetest.minetest

What do you think? A recurring 4-hour period is proposed here:
https://docs.autis.toque.im/#timing/

Having said this, the Voxelibre server is up for *all* this weekend, for those who want to try it (a chance at early familiarization).

More details are in this little documentation wiki I wrote (explains if and how to connect):
https://docs.autis.toque.im/

PS: I worked hard on this! It was suprisingly tricky to set up.

Hey infosec folks 👋

I built RYN27 — a free, open-source CLI recon tool written in Python.
MIT licensed — fork it, contribute, do whatever you want with it.

I’d love feedback from people who actually do this work.

What it does:

🔍 WHOIS · Full DNS enumeration · Subdomain brute-force
🔒 SSL/TLS cert inspection with expiry countdown
⚡ Threaded port scan + banner grabbing (30 workers)
📊 HTTP security header audit with 0–100% scoring
🌍 IP geolocation + proxy/VPN detection
✉️ Email & contact harvester
🛠️ Tech stack fingerprinting
📄 robots.txt reader, metadata crawler, zone transfer

19 modules. One interactive menu. Zero config.

Runs on:
Linux · macOS · Windows · Termux ✓

All dependencies auto-install on first run.

If you try it — I genuinely want to know:

→ What’s missing?
→ What’s broken?
→ What would you do differently?

Open to all feedback, suggestions, PRs, criticism — all of it. 🙏

Q: Why so many unfinished projects?

I care about each line of code i write, what it does, how and why it exists, so I can actually maintain it.

I’d rather have an incomplete codebase I can revisit and trust, than ship something generated overnight without context or ownership.

Maintenance requires context, not just code:

- Clear problem definition
- Good architecture
- Solid system design
- Long-term ownership
- Discipline in testing and refactoring

That’s engineering.

Google führt ab August eine Entwickler-Verifikation für Android ein – Sideloading soll aber weiterhin möglich bleiben, allerdings nur über einen mehrstufigen »Advanced Flow«: Entwicklermodus aktivieren, bestätigen, dass niemand einen gerade unter Druck setzt, Telefon neustarten und dann einen Tag warten.

Einen Tag warten. Für eine APK. 🙄

Das Framing ist bemerkenswert: Der Nutzer soll vor Scammern geschützt werden – und zahlt dafür mit einer künstlichen Bürokratiehürde, die das Sideloading so mühsam macht, damit die meisten es lassen werden.

Ich bin Andi, Geschäftsführer von ACNTCP aus Mannheim. Informationssicherheit und Datenschutz -- das ist mein Alltag.

Warum eine eigene Mastodon-Instanz? Ehrlich gesagt: weil ich's kann und weil ich's wollte. Das reicht mir als Begründung.

Die Instanz ist geschlossen, keine öffentliche Registrierung. Ich möchte die Kontrolle behalten wer dort aktiv ist. Wer Interesse hat, kann mich direkt ansprechen.

Dieses Konto wird halb beruflich, halb persönlich sein. NIS2, ISO 27001, Datenschutz -- aber auch was mich sonst noch beschäftigt. Ich bin kein Fan von Unternehmensaccounts die sich anfühlen wie automatisierte Pressemitteilungen.

Ever struggled to explain “Linux fragmentation” to non‑tech friends? 🚗💨

You’re chatting with friends, family, or a non‑technical manager and the question lands:

“Why are we using Red Hat at work when my friend uses Ubuntu at home? Aren’t they both just Linux? Why is this so complicated?”

Explaining a modular, kernel‑based world to someone used to one neat product (macOS, Windows, iOS) can feel like explaining car mechanics at a dinner party.

So how do you make it click?

Here’s an analogy I’ve used for years that usually gets an instant “Aha!” from non‑tech people.

Engine vs. Vehicle

🔧 Kernel = Engine
The Linux kernel is the engine: the core machinery that actually makes things run. It’s powerful and reliable – but an engine alone doesn’t get you anywhere.

🚗 Distro = Vehicle
A distribution (distro) is the whole vehicle built around that engine: body, seats, dashboard, storage, tools. It’s the engine plus everything else you need to actually use it, assembled for a particular purpose.

And just like in real life, we don’t pick a vehicle because of the paint job; we pick it because of what we need it to do.

Everyday Examples
To pull it out of the “enterprise IT” bubble, I frame it with everyday roles.

🚛 The Commercial Truck (Server) – RHEL, Debian
A big truck that hauls heavy loads non‑stop. Not designed for comfort or looks, just for doing the job, reliably, for years. That’s your server: often no GUI, older but proven components, maximum stability.

🚙 The Daily Driver (Workstation) – Fedora, Ubuntu LTS
Your normal car: comfortable, up‑to‑date, good enough for commuting, shopping, road trips. That’s a developer or desktop distro: modern tools, stable enough for everyday work and testing.

🛠️ The Specialist Van (Niche Distros) – Kali Linux

A van packed with custom tools for a single trade – like a locksmith’s or electrician’s van. You don’t use it for everything; you use it when you need that specific toolkit. That’s a security‑focused distro.

So is this “fragmentation”?
“They all share the same core engine, but the ‘vehicles’ are customized for different jobs. Servers, laptops, and security toolkits all run Linux – just tuned differently.”

Same engine, different roles:
• long‑running servers,
• everyday work machines,
• highly specialized tools.

Your Turn

How do you explain the “many Linuxes” problem to people who aren’t in IT – friends at a bar, parents, or colleagues from non‑tech teams?

I left NixOS because as much as I loved configuration as code for handling everything and the benefits that brought, the foundational way NixOS works meant that some of the stuff I need to use just cannot be run on it. (No, don't give me suggestions, it's already too late and NONE of the suggestions I received worked.)

I decided to swap to CachyOS as I was very used to Arch and wanted to try it. CachyOS is excellent and does a great job of smoothing out some of Arch's sharp edges but I really missed declaratively controlling my machine. I went looking for a solution, most of which were... rather odd. A version of Arch Linux that's declarative but everything's flatpaks? Why?

I did find something that works so far. Configuration is done either through yaml or lua files. You can use Lua for doing things conditionally or if you need more control. Manages packages, services, dotfiles. It's been about 2 days, but so far so good. We'll see if I still like it in a week.

Haben gerade die Woche einen Praktikanten da.

Und jetzt gleich ist der genau eine Stunde bei mir.

Mal sehen ob ich bei ihm das Feuer für #OpenSource und #Linux entfachen kann oder ob er schon der kommerziellen Welt zum Opfer gefallen ist...

@opensuse and @fedora a question for you: are you going to implement the age verification thing that will be part of the systemd and one of the ways the governments try to control how we use our computers? I don't need a philosophical/complicated answer. Just a yes or a no will suffice. So that I/we know where to go from here.

I've been a user and supporter of open source since 1998. I've been using all kinds of distros over the years, but this is becoming one of the worst periods of time I've lived and losing one more thing to right wingers and billionaires makes me angry and upset.
