Today, I once again wake up worrying about #Rust 's future.

Why is a shitbag such as #dtolnay still allowed to single-handedly maintain fundamental libraries for the ecosystem? Why is he part of Library API team? How is he not permabanned for single-handedly permanently damaging Rust by killing off comptime reflection over his racism? How is he not permabanned for the power play he attempted to pull with his "RFC" after pushing pre-compiled binary to serde without notice? Why are MIC companies routinely tolerated at Rust conventions? Why does no one talk about it, despite the problems not being solved? Has #Ruby takeover taught people nothing? Will Rust survive another year without turning into #fashtech?

So many questions. I think about them every time I use Rust, which is often.

Apropos of nothing.

Der erste Schritt: Kalter Entzug 🚫

Jahrelang war ich im Microsoft-Käfig (Win11, Office365 Familienabo). Bequem, aber fremdbestimmt. Mein Ziel: Echte digitale Souveränität. Also: Kündigung. Alles. Sofort. ✂️

Mein erster Reflex war Ubuntu. Lief gut, fühlte sich "frei" an. Doch die Ernüchterung folgte schnell: Hinter Canonical stecken zu starke US-Einflüsse. Ich wollte keine andere Abhängigkeit, sondern Unabhängigkeit. 🇺🇸❌

Nach tieferer Recherche fiel die Wahl auf openSUSE Tumbleweed. 🦎 Rolling Release, transparent, community-getrieben. Keine US-Cloud-Agenda im Nacken.

Es war ein steiniger Weg, aber ich sage euch: Ich gehe nicht zurück. Die frische Luft schmeckt zu gut.

In my experience, 95% of the situations I follow could transition to totally open-source solutions without major problems. Some others could do so by implementing a progressive plan.

The limitation is almost always human: people accustomed to working in a certain way for years, and a lack of willingness and commitment to change, even minimal change. If in private sectors, this happens under the "threat" of a drop in productivity. If in public sectors, under the threat of severe inefficiencies.

I saw a local election won (in part) thanks to a promise not to change anything.

Inertia, at times, causes incalculable damage.

Oh, was für ein symphatisches Video von Steves ersten Gehversuchen unter Linux. Steve, das ist der eine von SPACE FROGS, sagt selbst über sich: „Ich bin kompletter Linux Noob.“ Und dann war er ganz schön beeindruckt, was unter #Linux geht.

Komischerweise haben ja viele, die sich öffentlich zum ersten Mal mit Linux beschäftigen, gehörige Angst vor den „Hardcore Linux Fans“ und entschuldigen sich häufig schon im Voraus, dass sie keine Ahnung von Linux haben. Aber das scheint ein reines Hörensagen-Ding zu sein, oder?

Oh oh, I haven't done anything here for a really long time—but health comes first.

And to make matters worse, I lost a very, very good friend more than a week ago, who was taken by the damn MRSA germ... Rest in peace, my friend, you will never be forgotten! 😢

But during my own convalescence, I had enough time to return to my roots with Linux and switch my systems back to the tried and tested, beloved, and familiar. And I'm now leaving the time of experiments and trials behind me for good. In the end, you always find your way back to what has worked best for you for a long time, right?

So my main system is running Fedora Linux again, my second system is running Debian, and my ThinkPad P51 is running FreeBSD as always.

My ThinkPad T490s is running a completely slimmed-down version of Windows 10 IoT LTSC because of the built-in LTE modem, which cannot be made to work under any version of Linux. And I need this feature when I'm on the go, plus I'm paying for the SIM card with a contract. Apart from that, the battery life is significantly better with the slimmed-down Windows 10 than with Linux. Unfortunately, that's a fact.

So that's how things stand as we head into the new year.

TIL again, about low ram footprint editors in OpenSource environments.

In the period where the following commands were valid

ATX3DT
ATA

Such editors were standard. I'm talking about vi. Over extremely noisy POTS lines without error correction, vi was the only editor you could use safely. I remember switching from editing mode to reading mode as frequently as possible, because the 2400 BPS modem from the SR University, had difficulty to keep the line as noise free as possible due to the archaic hardware infrastructure of the phone company.

The editor I'm learning again about is nvi
I'm going to take a deep dive into this, because one thing I love is using the least memory as possible while computing

@NebulaTide @jkn Unfortunately, switching to alternatives is simply not enough; we also need to be unavailable on SMS, Whatsapp and other proprietary platforms.

Using a data SIM on #LinuxMobile, I have managed to onboard many people, over a hundred, to #FOSS messengers. Before when I preached freedom and #privacy, there'd always be resistance. Now people just accept that WA, SMS, etc are simply not an option and they readily hop on to alternatives if they need to reach me.

I'm having a bit of scope creep here. I've also been dealing with a migraine, work stress, and lack of time.

On top of implementing CSS tokens, Parcel, and CSS modularization, I'm refactoring everything to add support for installing the ultra-accessible variation for others too, not just users of my Mastodon fork.

Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0 for Mastodon 4.6.0 is going to be awesome. I'm hoping to see even more instances adopting it. I'll continue supporting the Custom CSS-only approach for masto.host users and others without filesystem access, while also making life easier for Mastodon admins.

Hang tight, I'll get there soon.

Mastodon Bird UI support for Mastodon v4.6.0 with CSS properties is coming soon. The theme will also be modularized using SCSS partials to match Mastodon's new style infrastructure.

The build process will include npm scripts and Parcel, making the theme ultra-portable for any Mastodon instance, whether added through the Custom CSS textarea or directly by a Mastodon admin.

I'll also create a simple bash script for Mastodon admins to enable the theme as a selectable option more easily than the current fork-and-cut method.

This is no easy feat, but definitely worth it.

#writing #opensource

Free Software that I rely on. One per day.

Day 8:

Blender

This one's a gimme. Blender is the single most important free software tool in my project toolbox.

Weirdly, I still use Blender 2.79, because I built my project on the "Blender Internal" render which they removed in 2.8 (more about that in a comment). Meanwhile Blender is on at least v4 now.

I'm sure you've heard of it, but you may not realize Blender's full scope. It is designed to be a complete 3D animation suite in one package:

* 3D surface modeler
* Materials editor, shader, rendering engine
* 3D armature & shape key animation
* 2D annotations
* 2D "grease pencil" animation tool
* video clip editor with rotoscoping and tracking for VFX work
* video sequence editor for editing clips together

It is pretty complete, and many people have made animated films entirely in Blender, although it can also be integrated into a pipeline with other tools, as I've done on Lunatics Project.

It's popular with indy film makers and Hollywood alike.

Free Software that I rely on. One per day.

Day 9:

YunoHost

This is technically more of a distribution than an individual software. There's a portal, and a large volunteer packaging effort to create apps for it. And a large catalog of applications already packaged.

I definitely rely on it. So I'm counting it.

YunoHost is how I have Wordpress (which I've already mentioned) installed -- along with other software I haven't got to yet.

It is based on Debian Linux: a particular install with applications already configured to work on it, pretty close to "plug and play". It's like the packaging systems for Linux desktop systems -- but for the Internet.

It makes managing a web application site SO much easier. I decided to adopt it as the basis of my "virtual studio" instead of trying to write something new.

Free Software that I rely on. One per day.

Day 12:

Gwenview

For this list, I've been trying to focus not so much on the most exciting applications as the ones I use so often I forget they exist -- and Gwenview definitely fits in that category. I literally use it every day.

It's an image/multimedia browsing utility. Ostensibly for KDE, although I routinely use it in XFCE.

In any case, it's very low-maintenance and the fastest way for me to check out a tree of images -- whether they're PR collections or a series of frames in a PNG stream. Helps a lot when I'm looking for an image and can't quite remember what I called the file.

I've tried some other image browsing apps, but this is the one I keep coming back to.

Hey les geeks #opensource / #vélo, est-ce que quelqu'un connaît une alternative libre à Strava ?
Parce que vu la trajectoire de merdification que l'appli suit, (et les rumeurs d'IPO - qui à n'en point douter accélèreraient le phénomène), je me dis qu'il serait temps de me pencher sur un autre système... Ou de le créer ? 🤔

Linux kernel developers have officially approved Rust as a full programming language alongside C and assembler, ending its experimental phase and marking a shift toward safer, more modern code. 🦀

Key subsystems still need bindings, but work is progressing, including a Rust-based Nvidia graphics driver. 🛠️

Collecting data is a responsibility you shouldn't give to vampiric big tech companies: your business plan is unstable if you're using a controversial house of cards like Google to record your precious data. It's like asking a criminal to mind your store, because they'll do it "for free" (their words).

This right here, but...

It's important to understand Debian's culture. A solid description is it's the bazaar from Eric Raymond's "The Cathedral and The Bazaar." There is a strong emphasis on #decentralization over #cohesion and a strong #resistance to a top-down structure and #authority. Culturally, the devs and maintainers consider #code primary and #documentation a nice to have but not essential. Furthermore, there are no enforced documentation standards. With such decentralization and full autonomy from devs and maintainers, the end result is thousands of people doing whatever they want and documenting however they see fit. #Debian #developers also assume a high degree of #technical #competency from whoever uses it.

Concerning the Debian Wiki, there is no editor-in-chief nor any ownership and a reflection of its culture. The attitude is "if you want something better, be the one to do it." The #quality of articles varies wildly, from chicken scratch notes to a walk through.

With so much #resistance to authority and change, improving documentation is a real #challenge. That being said, the simplest solutions at the moment are:

1.) Adopt the Debian Administrator's Handbook and collaboratively maintain it.

2.) Improve the wiki by adding templates and freshness tags.

The organization, culture, and project are honestly so fascinating. Honestly, it blows me away that one of THE most #influential operating systems ever functions in such a beautifully chaotic way. I mean, it has hundreds of derivatives and forks under it including #Ubuntu and #Mint (which are incredibly successful on their own). It's paradoxical that something that large and influential has barely any coverage. People don't write books on Debian but there are plenty for #RHEL and Ubuntu. Heck, there are more books on #FreeBSD at this very moment than Debian....which also further gatekeeps the knowledge from people.

But....it's important to understand why and what Debian actually is. I use my operating systems to cars analogy. RHEL, Ubuntu, #SUSE are all like going to different dealerships and buying a #car. All commercial off the shelf products. Debian is like skipping the dealership and buying the car kit from which you build your own. It's so much more than the "DIY hacker distro" but a powerful #development base for #tech #projects. Not unlike building a Go-Kart, a monstrous 6x6 truck, or a sports car. It's #flexible, #powerful, and can be tailored to one's needs. But, like a car kit, there's no glossy manual, just #technical specs.

It assumes you know what you are doing or that you are willing to get your hands dirty to learn.

When viewed from this perspective, it makes sense why documentation is the way it is. I'm not saying it's right but for its documentation to be improved to being on par with other OSes it would require a massive organizational shift to being a centralized #cathedral.

AIL v6.6 is a release with a strong focus on PDF ingestion (captured from social networks or other collection sources) and translation, crawler improvements, and operational enhancements across users, queues, and metadata handling.

This version significantly expands AIL’s document-processing and data-collection capabilities by introducing a hardened PDF ingestion pipeline where all PDFs are converted to PDF/A and stripped of embedded metadata before ingestion to remove malicious content.

It also allows users to browse content locally with Lacus and send captured pages directly to AIL as crawler data, along with associated browser cookies and local storage imported as a cookiejar for reuse by the crawler, while continuing to improve reliability, scalability, and analyst workflows.

5 Fediverse sites have been hacked due to running outdated software.

Please take a moment to ensure that your instance of Mastodon, Misskey, PeerTube, PixelFed, or any other Fediverse platform is fully up-to-date.

It may also be wise to log into your server and update your operating system.

Debian / Ubuntu servers:

sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo reboot

Fedora / CentOS / Red Hat / Alma Linux:

sudo dnf update --refresh
sudo dnf upgrade
sudo reboot

If you update your OS, your server will be briefly offline during the reboot. If you have not configured your web services — including your Fediverse service — to start automatically on boot, you may need to start them manually afterward.

Always make a backup before performing upgrades.

If any of this is confusing or feels overwhelming, you should reconsider whether you want to be a server administrator. This is not meant as an insult. It’s great that you wanted to contribute to the Fediverse, but you may be better off participating as a user rather than an admin. People depend on you to keep services running smoothly, and that requires knowing how to maintain your system safely and correctly.

Because “Free and Open Source Software isn’t about freedom/privacy/human rights/democracy” is one helluva take.

(And yes, you’re right, “open source” isn’t about any of those things. It’s just about the source being openly available. Not about protecting its openness or anything. It’s open as in “open for business.” But free (as in freedom) software/technology…? Well, I guess some of us would beg to differ.)

100 idées de workflows cybersécurité avec n8n, et c’est open source, prêt à l’emploi ⬇️

Le dépôt GitHub de CyberSecurityUP liste 100 idées de blueprints d’automatisation pour n8n, couvrant l’offensive (Red Team), la défense (Blue Team/SOC), l’AppSec/DevSecOps et la sécurité plateforme. Chaque workflow est décrit avec :
- Un objectif simple (ex: détection de beaconing, rotation de certifs TLS)
- Les intégrations nécessaires (APIs, outils comme Shodan, MISP, Semgrep, etc.)
- Un schéma de flux type (nœuds HTTP Request, IF/Switch, Cron, etc.)

⚔️ Pour les Red Teams (30 workflows) :
- Hub de recon de sous-domaines (Subfinder + Shodan)
- Détection de changements de surface d’attaque (Nmap/Naabu)
- Orchestration de campagnes GoPhish ou tests d’évasion AV/EDR
- Gestion d’infra C2 (création, hygiène, extinction planifiée)

🛡️ Pour les Blue Teams/SOC (35 workflows) :
- Ingestion & normalisation de feeds TI (OTX, MISP, VirusTotal)
- Micro-SOAR pour enrichir les IOC à la demande
- Détection de tunneling DNS
- Automatisation de blocages via Slack + génération de briefings quotidiens

♻️ Pour l’AppSec/DevSecOps (25 workflows) :
- SAST à la PR (Semgrep), DAST nocturne (ZAP)
- Analyse de composition logicielle (Trivy/Grype + SBOM)
- Scanning IaC (Checkov), détection de secrets, contrôles CSP/CORS

📜 Sécurité plateforme & gouvernance (10 workflows) :
- Digest de vulnérabilités priorisé (NVD + EPSS/KEV + CMDB)
- Planificateur de rotation de certifs TLS
- Vérificateur d’intégrité des sauvegardes (RPO)
- Purple loop pour boucler exercices Red/Blue Team

⚠️ Bonnes pratiques incluses :

- Utiliser `HTTP Request` pour les APIs, `Execute Command` pour les scanners
- Gérer les credentials n8n proprement + idempotence (clés de déduplication)

📌 Le dépôt : https://github.com/CyberSecurityUP/n8n-CyberSecurity-Workflows

Pourquoi c’est utile ?

- Gagner du temps: pas besoin de réinventer la roue, les schémas sont prêts à adapter.
- Collaboratif: la communauté peut contribuer ou fork le projet.
- Pédagogique: idéal pour comprendre comment enchaîner des outils concrets (ex: comment lier un scan Trivy à une alerte Slack).

Ensuite, adaptez chaque workflow à votre contexte spécifique (outils, API keys, politiques internes), et ajoutez-y vos agents IA si vous le souhaitez

📢les workflows offensifs doivent rester dans un périmètre autorisées et encadré

💡 Un workflow qui vous manque ? Le dépôt est open source: proposez vos idées ou améliorations via les issues.

But the muscle memory of apt-get install / dnf install is hard to break. Containerizing everything (flatpak/distrobox) feels like a friction point for quick tasks.
For those who daily drive an immutable distro: Was the learning curve worth the stability? Or is it still too much friction for a machine? 🤔

Good for #Europe 💙

As an American, I'm 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 happy to hear this. Europe is doing great work in the #OpenSource area

I already switched from the #fascist app #whatsapp to #wire, but now I'm hearing about #threema (tho they sound the same to me)

i just don't want to give my data to fascist sycophants who i know would happily give my data to #palantir then toss me into a gas chamber to power it

»Linux-Kernel — Rust-Support offiziell abgesegnet:
Rust wird Assembler und C bei der Programmierung des Linux-Kernels ebenbürtig – zumindest offiziell, denn praktisch gibt es noch viel zu tun.«

Ich pers. sehe das als sehr positiev, da mMn weniger Fehler im Linux Kernel aufkommen können. Klar liegt dies am Coden doch Rust vermindert overflow & Co. und doch/deshalb gibt es viel zu tun.

Linux Kernel: Rust Support Officially Approved

Rust is becoming equal to assembler and C in programming the Linux kernel – at least officially, as there is still a lot of work to be done in practice.

The November "Trunk & Tidbits" is out! Read about our new organisational announcements and events; the start of development for our Collections feature; CSS theme tokens and Helm chart; and, the latest stable releases.

This way, you can simply use the built-in rules via the interface, but still use enhanced rules via ProxLB by tags or pools (even for non HA VMs/CTs). This feature was already requested a long time ago and get's now streamlined over all ways, ensuring we can balance our VMs (and CTs) across the nodes with and even without any configured HA objects - fully flexible to your needs!

Requirements:
* Proxmox 9.x
* ProxLB 1.1.11

Version 1.1.11 is expected to be released by the end of this or within the upcoming week; depending on my spare time.

PS: Keep in mind, tomorrow starts our "Virtualization Gathering" at @credativde@mastodon.social and I'm providing a talk about my @BoxyBSD@bsd.cafe project where I tell you a bit more about the infrastrucutre/hypervisors (due to the limited time only very high level)! Feel free to join, it's free!

@tastapod As the maintainer of #PHPUnit and as a board member of @thephpf, but not only wearing those hats, funding of #OpenSource is a topic that sometimes keeps me awake at night.

Last time I was not able to sleep because I was thinking about this, I wrote https://phpunit.expert/articles/open-source-blackout.html?ref=mastodon.

I like the simplicity of your solution, but I fear that not enough companies will voluntarily pay for something that in their minds is free.

I am always amazed at how seemingly disorganised group of open source developers can build such a robust and unbeattable supply chain. Why do you think that's the case? And all this even with very little or no money 🤔🤯
