I know there are still legitimate projects on SourceForge, but the site design just screams *this is a scam*

Downloading a pre-built binary off a github releases page? Feels totally normal. Downloading a tarball off of SourceForge? My brain is convinced I'm joining a botnet and handing over all credentials on my computer.

We love seeing community members share why FreeBSD matters to them.

Community member Stefano shares his experience and what keeps him choosing FreeBSD, from performance and reliability to the project’s philosophy.

Why I Love freeBSD

freeBSD

Processing

I've only skimmed this nice post.
Thorough reading will follow later

Some highlights which resonate with me *as flageolets on a string instrument* are captured here in screenshots I've made on an Android

• Many tools still work exactly as they did (decades ago)

• The feeBSD handbook taught me an enormous ammount, more than many of my University courses, including things that had nothing to do with freeBSD specifically

• This is vital

• The handbook taught me the right approach

  understand first, act second

This is a principle I use since I've been a peuter (NL).

• Analyze what occured
• understand why it occured
• find out under what circumstances it can occur
• close or limit those conditions
• fix the problem by repairing, cooling, modifying the break
• analyse the proposed fix before implementing
• Only replace when all other methods fail or repair is more expensive than replacement

Manjaro Linux looks like it's in trouble with the release of the "Manjaro 2.0 Manifesto" https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/03/manjaro-linux-looks-like-its-in-trouble-with-the-release-of-the-manjaro-2-0-manifesto/

#Manjaro #Linux #LinuxGaming #OpenSource #ManjaroLinux

Over the past few days and weeks, I’ve decided to downsize my digital and tech collection. I own so many computers, laptops, smartphones, smartwatches, accessories, and so on—I can never really use it all. I bought a lot of it just to own the latest “hot stuff.”

That’s why I’ve gotten rid of most of it—either giving it away or selling it for very little. And I’ve kept only the bare essentials. Often not even the newest or best.

For example: I now only use my Peladn Mini-PC with an old Ryzen 5 5500U as my computer; I don’t even use the newer, faster ones to their full potential, so I gave them away. I’ve now reinstalled Debian Stable on it, with an absolute minimum of programs—just the bare essentials: browser, LibreOffice, Tuta, Signal, VLC, Nextcloud, Localsend, Rustdesk.

I’ve moved away from Fedora because: Fedora = Red Hat = IBM = US Big Tech = US MAGA fascists.

I’m also saying goodbye to Proton and will only use Tuta and Posteo from now on.

All my new smartphones like the S25 Ultra, Pixel 10 Pro XL, etc., are gone; I’ve kept the cute Pixel 8a in beautiful blue, very compact, running GrapheneOS. That’s more than enough—it lasts almost 3 days, and here too, I’ve installed only the absolute essentials.

Think of the children: Linux community against age verification

Several US states will soon require age verification for users. How should and can Linux distributions react to this?

Why I love FreeBSD

A personal reflection on my first encounter with FreeBSD in 2002, how it shaped the way I design and run systems, and why its philosophy, stability, and community still matter to me more than twenty years later.

• reconnaissance
• OSINT

• bug bounty workflows

Everything is mostly written in Python.

I recently saw this news on the technology community lemmy.world/post/44224445 and got very disappointed with the way things are going with this browser.

I started using it to do my part against the chromium monopoly, but Mozilla is making too many bad decisions in my opinion.

I’ve heard about forks like Librewolf and Waterfox.

Which alternatives would you recommend? Do you use any of them? What are your thoughts on them?

@FuturisticRobert @fuchsiii I think that's the fundamental unfixable problem of publicly traded corporations because they are legally mandated to maximize ROI for shareholders at an exponential rate they'll inevitably hit a ceiling.

• Even if that means they run out of humans and businesses that ain't already buying all their stuff and subscribing to everything.
  • This is why #Microsoft stopped caring about #consumers as they basically "owned" the #desktoplinux with #WindowsXP and until they killed #Windows7 & #Windows10 any other OS was a *"statistical #RoundingError"...
    
  • All for #Linux to win is to not #enshittify at the same or faster pace than #Windows11...

Per contrast, #Valve (which is owned predominantly by #GabeN and only has marginal amounts of (non-traded!) stocks with it's employees) is also doing great without #enshittifiying #Steam.

• Mostly because #Steam can't afford to mistreat it's customers longterm, as being convenient for said users is what sets them apart from any other store...
  • The only reason they pivoted to Linux is because #GabeNewell realized the frontal attack #Windows8Bing and #Windows10S are on his company and that it's a horrible gamble to not assume #Windows trying to monopolize #Apps and #Games #distribution wouldn't cull Steam.
  • Not that they like #OpenSource, because their #BusinessModel is diametrically opposite by virtue of selling access to #CCSS. It's just that they know that Microsoft could otherwise choke them to death so fast and brutal that they'd end up bankrupt faster than #Gawker when #peterThiel decided to literally "sue them into bankrupcy"...

Which makes Gaben propably the only publicly known #billionaire that isn't hated.

• Or maybe it's his and thus Valve's #AntiAI - Stance that #Gamers love...

Termux

• platform: Android
• type: sh environment
• goal: have the power of linux sh in Android
• license: GNU GPL Open Source
• development: active
• users: more than I can imagine

Termux which is the powerful Linux sh environment for Android is constantly under attack by Google

I've installed it on many different Androids with different versions and classes of the Android operating system

The direct reaction of the Play Store daemon is the same.

Warning Termux is an unsafe program!

wtf?

Why does google lie and stay that Termux is a program that should not be trusted?

This is a false and blatant deceptive action of Google, who is snooping on the Android phone, your personal property, because Termux gives you the flexibility to look at things which Google tries to hide from you on your own phone!

The Termux distribution is regularly patched and updated just like any other regular Linux distribution which is properly maintained

Keep installing Termux it gives you freedom on your Androids

Die Manjaro-Krise 2026: Ein Schiff das schon lange sinkt - ein ausführlicher Kommentar

Das Manjaro 2.0 Manifest ist das sichtbare Ergebnis jahrelanger Führungsfehler, Machtmissbrauch und technischer Vernachlässigung und stellt das Projekt vor zwei Szenarien.

#Manjaro #Open_Source_Governance #Fork #Linux

https://gnulinux.ch/die-manjaro-krise-2026

I'm seeing a lot of #opensource #freesoftware projects take more lax stances on code generated by LLMs, the justification being that banning it outright will lead to contributors simply not saying they used #ai . This seems like a difficult problem to me... I kind of wish there was a way to solve this so projects didn't have to accept AI slop, but I have no idea what that would be, especially in the context of a huge project like #kde . Any ideas?

The latest iteration of my #PCB to replace the tail lights in my #EV #Mustang arrived earlier from JLC. Looks like 5th times the charm. I managed to actually get this version to do something.

Rectangular green PCB. It has three columns of LEDs labelled block 1, 2, and 3.

So, what’s better for nighttime/headlights-on mode? Top and bottom rows permanently on, middle section comes on for brakes? Or middle section permanently on and top and bottom come on for brakes?

I just shipped a real release of my bible-reader project.

It’s a terminal-first Python tool for daily Bible reading. It can import compatible WorldBiblePlans EPUBs, split them into day-by-day files, extract scripture-only readings, and track progress through the plan.

I also just added a changelog, automated GitHub releases, a license, contribution guidelines, and issue/PR templates, so it’s starting to feel like a real open-source project instead of just “script in a repo.” 😄

Hey folks! 👋

Wanted to share a project I've been working on — HXR. It's a Python-based reconnaissance framework designed to streamline bug bounty workflows.

What's inside:
✦ Subdomain enum + tech fingerprinting
✦ Crawler + parameter discovery
✦ Automated screenshots
✦ Vulnerability scanner (XSS, Open Redirect, etc)
✦ API endpoint finder from JS
✦ Report generator

The good stuff:
• Works on Linux, Windows, macOS, and Termux
• Auto-installs dependencies on first run
• Clean, readable output
• Modular — pick and choose features

Important: Only for authorized testing and education. Please be responsible.

Would love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or bug reports. Just open an issue on GitHub or reach out.

I regenerated the CSS cheatsheets with the new page-builders tool, to improve the consistency of the cheatsheets and discover some more cases I which weren't handled yet in page-builders (e.g. unordered list conversion, link pointing to another cheatsheet, comma in cheatsheet title, etc.), and I also corrected a few mistakes in the cheatsheets which somehow I didn't notice earlier (e.g. a section missing from the online and Markdown version of the CSS Selectors Cheatsheet, but included in the ODT version). And also, I removed the heading hooks from the Markdown versions, because they aren't supported by all programs (e.g. Joplin just displays them as plain text), and replaced the color gradient divs with image files in the online version of the CSS Backgrounds Cheatsheet, so now they can be displayed correctly in Pale Moon and Seamonkey browsers.

Der Termin ist am 22. April 2026 in der VHS Hannover.

"This Week in Plasma" brings the news that...

You can use long-presses on your regular keyboard to access alternative glyphs—just like on your phone, e.g. press and hold down [$] and a popup appears that let's you choose between €, £, ¥, ¢, ₹. Also new is that you can download and install alternative sound themes and that we reduced CPU and GPU load for full-screen windows on screens using more fractional scale factors, and much more!

Meta is discontinuing end-to-end encryption for Instagram messaging this May.

This highlights the core issue with proprietary platforms: privacy is treated as a revocable privilege, not a fundamental right. When a company owns the infrastructure, they own the "off" switch for your security.

Open-source alternatives like Matrix or Signal offer consistent, verifiable encryption that doesn't depend on a corporate roadmap.

Linux ist nicht nur Code: Es ist Freiheit, Transparenz und eine Gemeinschaft, die Ihnen beibringt, was in Ihrem PC steckt. Es ist mächtig, erfordert aber Geduld. #Linux #OpenSource #FOSS

A new pull request for Vulnerability-Lookup adds a CSAF producer that publishes advisories for many manufacturers.

This is great for defenders and researchers, as it increases the amount of detailed vulnerability information available.

It will push the number of ingested feeds to more than 50 unique sources, highlighting the growing diversity of our data sources.

If someone tells you there is a single source of truth for vulnerability information, they’re ignoring the reality: vulnerability intelligence comes from many different sources.

Thanks to @rafi0t for the continuous work on adding CSAF and feeds to vulnerability-lookup

On the other side, a bit lower in the frame we see a fediverse logo, but on fire. This is the logo of the Fireside Fedi show. In between those two elements a text is written.
