Root access granted: GNU, the system most people call Linux

What GNU is and why it isn't Linux: a printer at MIT, a 1983 Usenet post, the GPL, GCC and Bash, a kernel that never got finished, and a Finnish student who filled the gap. Plus the GNU/Linux naming fight and a few curiosities.

GNU, the system most people call Linux

Με αφορμή το outage της Microsoft χθες, βρήκα ένα site που δείχνει σε χάρτη τί πάροχο email χρησιμοποιούν οι διοικητικές αρχές μιας χώρας της ΕΕ.

Για την Ελλάδα, δείχνει τους δήμους. Μεγάλο ποσοστό αφορά είτε πάροχο εντός ΕΕ (όπου για τις περισσότερες περιπτώσεις απ' ότι βλέπω είναι το otenet.gr) είτε δικό τους server.

Κοινώς, το ερώτημα που θα μπορούσε να τεθεί ως επέκταση αυτής της πληροφορίας, πόση εξάρτηση έχει το ελληνικό δημόσιο όσον αφορά τη χρήση παρόχων υπηρεσιών εκτός Ελλάδος ή εκτός ΕΕ;

Hello again, fediverse! 👋

I’m Alex, a Linux sysadmin in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. I first joined in 2019, then wandered between servers and took a few breaks along the way, so consider this a fresh start.

I’m now running my own instance on GoToSocial, because I enjoy self-hosting things I probably don’t need to self-host. Outside of work I dabble in music production and plan to start on game development, both strictly as hobbies. Expect a mix of homelab tinkering, Linux war stories, open-source and privacy chat, the odd travel photo, and whatever I’m playing or listening to at the moment. I’ll use content warnings for heavier topics and alt text on images.

Question for you: what’s the best thing you’ve self-hosted that you couldn’t live without now?

Trovo enormemente fastidiosa la moda della sovranità digitale a partire dalla scelta dei termini.
Sovranità mi fa pensare ai sovrani e quindi ad un periodo passato e superato mentre qui stiamo cercando di capire come organizzare il nostro futuro tecnologico. Ma il vero fulcro della questione è che pur essendo corretta l'idea di volersi rendere indipendenti da aziende specifiche made in USA non ha senso farlo per spostare la dipendenza a qualche altra azienda europea. Si dovrebbe parlare di indipendenza digitale, non di sovranità digitale. Inoltre si dimenticano tutti gli altri motivi (di cui gente come me parla da 20 anni) sull'utilità di abbandonare le BigTech per esempio nella scuola: ai nostri ragazzi dovremmo spiegare il valore dell'opensource e portarli ad un utilizzo consapevole delle tecnologie e non semplicemente consegnare loro un altro telefono o un altro provider di posta però made in EU. Insomma per tutto ciò che riguarda la PA si dovrebbe spingere sull'opensource in nome di valori quali l'accessibilià ai servizi e la trasparenza nella gestione degli stessi. Ma mi rendo conto che è più facile starnazzare due paroline che la gente ormai riconosce piuttosto che parlare di cose di sostanza.
Siamo sul fediverso, la chiave è l'indipedenza delle singole entità federate, non la sovranità delle istanze.

ModSecurity lost its commercial backing in 2024 (it lives on at OWASP). If you're choosing an open-source WAF in 2026, the engine is the easy part: what protects you is the rules, how fast virtual patches arrive for newly exploited CVEs, and whether the WAF learns from other people's traffic.

Zionist and sex lives aside, we're watching a major battle for the future of Open Source software.

The true story imo is a landscape of closed cloud LLM companies (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) who are tightly aligned with the US defense industry.

They are lobbying for essentially the mandatory DRMing of LLM models and the outlawing of open weight models.

Jensen is STRONGLY in favor of open sourcing core LLM technology.

In the 1980s, early open-source software pioneers challenged the prevailing belief that software would advance only if companies kept tight control over their code. This movement pushed for a transparent ecosystem where developers around the world could study, modify, and improve software. Software developed by the open-source community now supports most of the internet and underlies systems used by the world’s largest technology companies, as well as the U.S. military and federal agencies conducting scientific research, cybersecurity, and other critical missions. Open source did more than lower the cost of software; it created a shared foundation of knowledge on which generations of American engineers and entrepreneurs built their institutional sovereignty. The United States now faces a similar choice with artificial intelligence. Our AI leadership will be judged not by one frontier AI model, but by whether the United States builds a strong, open ecosystem that diffuses into every sector. This is essential for creating opportunities for innovation and prosperity across the country. It requires expanding access to AI, encouraging competition, robust application layers, and giving Americans greater control over the technology they rely on. Open weight models—AI models that anyone can download, inspect, modify, and run on their own infrastructure—are an important part of that foundation because they make advanced AI more accessible, adaptable, and widely available.

Today I noticed an eerie similarity with Nirav Patel's AI assisted top-mount expansion card design that he shared on Twitter. Its overlay was one-on-one with my top-mount expansion card that I made to release under my @riscfruit brand, named FramePico2 Expansion Card and licensed under CERN-OHL-S. Source files here: https://github.com/riscfruit/FramePico2-Expansion-Card

I posted a tweet about the issue tagging Nirav, and he replied within the day with the promise of giving me credit for coming up with top-mount card design and the choice of the component, and open sourcing their production ready design if they ever make one.

I love this community.

All of that stupid drama that is unfolding regarding Nvidia right now is the fault of closed source trade secret mentality that is inflicted by those very same people that enforce it.

If Jensen had open sourced GPU architecture way back when he opened the company, none of this nonsense AI hardware cold war regarding so called trade secrets would unfold. It would be common property of the people just like Linux, GNU, RISC-V and fully open source silicon chips like ElemRV. Also, he would remain CEO of the company as no one would bother his personal life as there would be no trade secret to "steal".

Mission of @oshwassociation, Linux and RISC-V have never been more important than ever. Don't want to be a part of this nonsense cold war drama? Just go open source all the way from software to PCB, down to silicon inside the chip. This is my mission at @riscfruit as well.

Certify your hardware as open source here so you don't become part of a so called "honey trap" ever (a stupid term used by people with closed source mentality as if sharing source design files with the people and other countries is a crime) as you already share the design with the world: https://certification.oshwa.org/

Dá certa tristeza ver a escolha dos atuais assessores do presidente Lula, que em seus primeiros mandatos falava de boca cheia sobre software livre e tinha iniciativas nesse sentido, terem escolhido perfis oficiais no Bluesky e Threads.

Lembro de ter ido algumas vezes a Brasília, no contexto do movimento de dados governamentais abertos e hacking cívico, e ver muito servidor público literalmente puxando projetos e iniciativas voltadas ao software livre e código aberto.

Talvez fazendo um pouco de mea culpa, pois virei imigrante, mas todo mundo sumiu? E os funcionários públicos daquela época?

Me parece que um conceito que passou batido nesse movimento foi o perigo da centralização. Poderíamos ter servidores oficiais com Mastodon ou algo análogo, como alguns na Alemanha e União Européia, mas a primeira iniciativa é logo ir pra uma plataforma com os mesmos vícios que nos levaram a essa situação.

Editado: e descobri que também criou no Threads, mas ainda não ativou a opção de fazer parte do fediverso, o que mostra o despreparo dos assessores.

First, "HarP: a simulation tool for high-order harmonic generation and propagation in gases" (led by Mattys Pouyez). HarP is an open-source Python tool coupling microscopic 3D-TDSE (Time-Dependent Schrödinger Equation) atomic responses with macroscopic Crank–Nicolson wave propagation for driving lasers and generated harmonics (1st image: simulation time-step loop; 2nd image: example spatiotemporal fields, harmonic spectrum, and phase-matching outputs).

Three rounded boxes form a cycle: (1) "Initialisation with ρ_{a,e}(r, z, t_n), E_1(r, z = 0, t_n)" leads to (2) "Wave propagation E_q(r, z, t_n)", which leads to (3) "Medium ionization ρ_{a,e}(r, z, t_{n+1})", feeding back into the next time step.

The FreeBSD Project published its Q3’2026 status report on Tuesday that outlines a number of development initiatives to ongoing work around an AI policy for this BSD operating system.

FreeBSD polled their developers on the usage of AI and LLMs as a hot topic for the quarter. An overwhelming 88% want the FreeBSD Project to adopt an AI policy. 35% of those polled want AI-assisted code to be disclosed while 22% felt it should be treated just like any other code contribution and only 16% want AI generated code to be rejected outright. 65% of the respondents were in favor of AI-generated documentation with human review.

FreeBSD has established an AI working group to work on drafting an AI policy. Final reports are expected in Q4.

FreeBSD developers have also had to spend a lot of time preparing for the EU’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) such as around Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) support.

FreeBSD has also seen work on a GUI for the Bhyve hypervisor written in Freepascal/Lazarus. This Bhyvemgr GUI is coming along well to help in managing of Bhyve VMs:

www.phoronix.net/image.php?id=2026&image=bhyvemgr…

Meanwhile on the web management/UI side, Sylve continues looking quite slick as a unified system management platform for FreeBSD from the web browser. Adding in the past quarter were new storage options, data center / cluster features, and more.

www.phoronix.net/image.php?id=2026&image=sylve_me…

FreeBSD also continues seeing work to enhance desktop installations of the operating system and more polishing of the desktop experience. Related have also been more suspend/resume and audio stack improvements.

Some other FreeBSD happenings include improving zoned storage support, debugging enhancements, a variety of scheduler improvements, and enhancing the bootloader.

More details on these FreeBSD improvements made during Q3 can be found via FreeBSD.org.

Hello all. I need some help here. I've been confronted twice with well meaning groups using Telegram for communication. In the past even activist groups.

3 weeks ago I stopped writing code and started leading a team of AI agents.

So far:
- 30 agents with roles: coders, reviewers, tester, ops, security, a lead who sets the pace
- 8 subscriptions from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI
- 800k+ lines, 1,500+ merged PRs
- every PR reviewed by another vendor's agent

The hard part isn't the code. It's the pace.

A list of FOSS projects that *should* exist (in a presentable state) that don't yet. Feel free to add your own in the comments!

1) A tool that lets regular folks easily publish a personal website by just typing words into a content field, and picking a layout. It should be free, and very easy to work for somebody who isn't technical.

Justification: Too many people have all of their stuff on social media simply because that's the easiest place to post content to by just writing and hitting post. A service that lets you actually just have a website would be better. It should let you export your markdown source files (the text) and compiled output (the html) whenever you want, in case you want to switch to a different service.

(You may recall this is what I'm currently working on with my Mycelium project on selfweb.club, although it's definitely not "ready" as a tool for mass adoption lol)

2) A federated, E2EE chatting service that works like Discord. It needs to be secure, without letting security get in the way of the user. People don't use Matrix specifically because of how much security gets in the user's way. Signal is common because it *doesn't* get in your way. Somebody ought to make an app and protocol that satisfies this need.

Justification: Everyone deserves the right to E2EE. I think we can all agree we ought to be moving things more towards federated online models to avoid walled gardens.

---

Any other things that need being built? Stuff that would actually be helpful to regular people and/or politically advantageous. Not just cool little dev projects (tho I think we should be making them too, just not discussing them in this particular thread).

Telling your AI agent "don't send anything" is a request, not a control.

It's logged in as you. It can read your inbox, and it can just as easily hit Send.

So we built OnlyRead, an open-source Chrome extension that makes the sites you choose read-only for AI agents that use your browser (Claude in Chrome, Codex, Grok Bot and others). It's enforced on the network requests, below the model: reads pass, and sends, posts, edits and deletes are refused before they leave the browser.

We'd love security folks to poke holes in it:

I support Asahi #Linux team's decision to switch from MIT to GPL.

For starters, GPL are protective #FOSS that force iteration of it (and projects where its iterations are used in) are shared under same license, thus making it remain open source. Its different from MIT and BSD, which are called "permissive" licenses, thus they are incompatible with each other.

Linux itself is licensed under GPLv2, so big companies can't simply clone Linux and make a closed source version of it. Whatever modification they do, they must share it under GPLv2.

Same applies to the open source hardware. I always use the CERN OHL-S. Letter "S" stands for "Strongly Reciprocal", so anyone copying or iterating my hardware design must "reciprocate" my license terms, thus they must share it openly under the same license.

Making progress on Toot, my native Mastodon client for the COSMIC desktop! 🐘

It now has multi-account setup, conversations, content warnings, moderation tools, drafts and image uploads with alt text.

I’ve also been reworking the UI: grouped notifications, cleaner feeds, and a redesigned composer.

Still a work in progress, but getting closer to a public release.

Mozilla made a silly advert to try and win Firefox users back and has a handy new web dev feature, and HACS is now built into Home Assistant. Plus using Apple Airpods on Linux, a classic Amiga game is updated (and brought to Linux), fixing photos and solving magic eye pics, and making audio sound like it’s on a cassette tape in discoveries.

Lots of nightly updates coming in today!

Most notable bugs:

- When you type a hashtag or at-person, the popout gets in the way
- Ultra Accessible themes for vision impaired have some font size issues
- Some hover states and element proportions, especially padding, have regressions from v5 and the new nightly theme
- Bugs in the advanced view

The latest changes are in the nightly branch, and work is still in progress. You can follow my work here: https://github.com/rollecode/mastodon-bird-ui/tree/nightly

Some of these are core issues and will probably be fixed or changed in Mastodon v5 stable. If not, fixes will go live in our fork.

The Sovereign Tech Agency is seeking input from the open source community to help shape the EU Sovereign Tech Fund pilot, an initiative focused on supporting critical open source technologies that Europe's digital infrastructure depends on.

We encourage FreeBSD users and contributors, particularly those in Europe, to participate and share their perspectives on the open source infrastructure they rely on.

Let me tell you a story from my life.

Back in 2003, Hans Reiser (yes, the ReiserFS guy) came to our university in Bologna to present Reiser4. He was a kind, friendly person, and we ended up taking him out for dinner. Of course, we paid, even though he insisted on paying for himself.

On our way back, as we were walking him to his hotel, we passed through Via Zamboni, a street in the city center that wasn't exactly the safest place at night. He noticed this and asked me whether the area was safe, given some of the rather shady-looking people around.

A few days earlier, a young man had been stabbed there (fortunately without serious injuries), so I suggested he be careful, telling him: "You must be careful, there are killers here!"

Well, let's just say that, in hindsight, I was remarkably accurate. 😆

I originally wrote about this story back in 2007, before he was convicted:
