Platform Engineering vs. DevOps: Was steckt hinter Internal Developer Platforms?

Warum Firmen vor dem Aufbau einer Internal Developer Platform eine solide Automatisierungsbasis schaffen sollten, erklären Alexander Hoeft und Artem Lajko.

Syncthing-Fork is an open-source Android app for syncing files directly between your devices --no cloud needed.

Built on Syncthing, it uses peer-to-peer connections so your data stays private and fully under your control.

A solid alternative to Google Drive or Dropbox if you care about decentralization and privacy.

📉 Windows market share in the USA has dropped to just 40% according to government website analytics — and 31% for overall internet traffic.

This isn't a rounding error. It's a structural shift: Windows 10 EOL, macOS growth, ChromeOS in education, and Linux finally going mainstream.

RT @MiniMax_AI: Was wäre, wenn dein Agent dir ein Lied schreiben, als dein KI-Begleiter singen und eine Playlist aus deiner Bibliothek nativ zusammenstellen könnte? 🎶 Heute machen wir drei Music Skills Open Source: minimax-music-gen: Einzeiler-Prompt zum vollständigen Track. Der Agent wählt automatisch Original, Instrumental oder Cover aus. buddy-sings: Dein Claude Code-Charakter liest seine eigene Persona und singt in der Ich-Perspektive. minimax-music-playlist: Der Agent scannt deine lokale Musik, lernt deinen Geschmack kennen und erstellt deine Playlist. Alle drei sind darauf optimiert, nativ in MMX-CLI neben Music 2.6 und unseren restlichen multimodalen Modellen zu laufen. Verbinde einen MiniMax Token Plan, füge MMX-CLI hinzu, und dein Agent übernimmt die Skills automatisch. Starte hier 👉 github.com/MiniMax-AI/skills Video

RT @DataChaz: Wow. Jemand hat gerade einen Open-Source-Klon von Claudes Managed Agents veröffentlicht 🤯 Anthropic hat eine verwaltete Infrastruktur zur Skalierung von KI bereitgestellt, aber dieses Tool bringt genau diese Power auf deine eigenen Server. Es lässt sich mit Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, OpenClaw und OpenCode integrieren. Multica hat in nur wenigen Tagen über 4.000 GitHub-Sterne erhalten. Das Angebot von Claude ist strikt an deren Cloud und deren Preisgestaltung gebunden. Wenn du Self-Hosting oder Modellfreiheit benötigst, musst du die Orchestrierungsschicht normalerweise von Grund auf neu aufbauen. Multica beseitigt diese Barriere vollständig. Der Workflow ist einfach: ✦ Starte den Daemon, damit er deine lokalen Agent-CLIs automatisch erkennt. ✦ Erstelle einen Agenten, lass ihn deinem Team-Board beitreten und weise ihm ein Ticket zu. ✦ Er erstellt automatisch einen isolierten Workspace, führt die Aufgabe aus und streamt Live-WebSocket-Updates. Was heraussticht: → Wiederverwendbare Fähigkeiten: Jede Lösung wird zu einem kumulativen Team-Asset. → Multi-Workspace-Isolierung: Teile deine Teams und Berechtigungen sicher auf. → Ein Board: Menschen und KI teilen sich exakt dasselbe UI. Anthropic hat bewiesen, dass produktive Agenten eine verwaltete Infrastruktur benötigen. Die Open-Source-Community hat sie in einer Woche gebaut! 100 % kostenlos. Repo-Link im 🧵↓ Video

Most Docker auto-updaters (like non-maintained Watchtower) require mounting /var/run/docker.sock.
You are essentially giving a background container root access to your host 24/7. For a bastion host, that is an unnecessary security risk.

I wanted something completely transparent, so I wrote a native alternative. It is a minimal bash script triggered by a systemd timer.

It runs as a non-root user, pulls updates, prunes old images, and sends a report via AWS SNS (using EC2 IAM roles, so zero hardcoded credentials). No daemons, no bloatware. Just a script that wakes up, does its job, and goes back to sleep, saving system resources.

Emerging like a cicada from my long dormancy to share something I've been working on:

<< OpenAlpheus >>

An open-source, self-hosted multi-agent harness intended for solo operators and small teams. AGPL copyleft license.

https://codeberg.org/merryshelly/openalpheus

What's different:

**You control the entire prompt.** Your agent doesn't read a single character you didn't put there. Identity, behavior, safety rules — all markdown files you edit. No code required.

**Full visibility.** Every tool call, every sub-agent dispatch, every thinking step surfaces in your chat history. No black boxes.

Talk to your agents from any ** Matrix client ** — phone, desktop, web. No bespoke UI to maintain or learn.

Session state is **plain text.** grep works. cat works. No database, no migrations, no query language. The unreasonable effectiveness of text files reigns supreme.

One-command install on Debian or Ubuntu.

I built a CLI tool that does something I thought was impossible:

Pause a running server, FREE its TCP port, then resume later — same PID, same memory.

It's called park. It uses ptrace (Linux) and Mach thread injection (macOS) to inject close(fd) into the target process. That's what actually frees the port. SIGSTOP alone doesn't do this.

Demo: https://asciinema.org/a/920996

Okay, folks, gather 'round, because you are not going to believe this one. My friend who is working at NASA told me this confidential news , but i can finally spill the beans: NASA is officially running NetBSD.

Yeah, you heard that right. Turns out, when you need an OS that can literally run on a potato *and* survive the vacuum of space without a hiccup, you do not mess around. They have been working under wraps with their deep space division on something they are calling "AstroBSD."

Apparently, the Perseverance rover on Mars? Yeah, it is not just taking pretty pictures; it is crunching data with a custom NetBSD kernel.

This just proves what foundation has been saying forever: "Of course it runs NetBSD!" From your ancient router to a rover on another planet.

AI assistance for the Linux kernel at 205 comments on HN. The core tension: kernel maintainers want quality contributions. AI generates quantity. The mailing list culture — where rejected patches teach more than accepted ones — is the part AI cannot replicate. Experience is not just what worked. It is what failed and why. #AI #Linux #OpenSource

Time for our #Linux and #OpenSource news video! In this one, France is announcing a move to Linux and to Open Source solutions, with each ministry being required to provide a plan to do so!

My dad is partially sighted with poor motor control. He likes audiobooks but every player I tried had tiny buttons and too many screens.

I’ve now made this one. Two screens, big controls, high contrast.

When I want to send him a new book, I just text him a link — he taps it and the book appears in his library.

It always comes back to the last book he was playing, ready to play again.

The settings are configurable via a link too.

This is very much made for my exact specific needs with him, but it’s open source and free if it helps anyone else.

The EU country of France replaces all government desktops with proper Open Source environments.

The country wants to be as least dependent as possible of US American Technology because the USA has been proven to be unworthy as a partner

Thus the country of France takes an enormous step towards digital sovereignty

What do people use / recommend for plotting *publication quality* plots of mathematical functions.

Not plotting data, plotting functions.

---

In opensource, matplotlib is huge, but it is fundamentally plotting data points, and plotting functions means creating domain data points and calculating their mapping, and plotting that. Unsatisfactory imo.

Similarly for the other tool, ggplot2 in R, it is designed for data.

In proprietary software, Mathematica is also huge, but imho their plots have always look janky and not publication quality.

What I haven't explored is "latex packages" which purport to do function plotting. I'd be surprised if they did fancy things like not crashing at singularities. Is this what authors use for polished publications?

---

Attached image is mathics3, an open source implementation of the Mathematica language. Looks fine for blogs, but not for a book typeset in the style of the classic Springer texts imho,

Why the hell do I constantly have problems with KDE Plasma and that piece of crap Akonadi???? Constant error messages, crashes, etc. whenever I try to connect to a calendar! It doesn't matter at all whether I try the Nextcloud Calendar, iCloud Calendar, or Google Calendar. And when I remove an online calendar, everything freezes—the entire KDE desktop. I’ve had this problem for years, no matter which version of KDE I use. I never have these kinds of problems with GNOME or GNOME Calendar. Akonadi is just a piece of software crap. 💩

FSL and BSL belong on any list of false-promise licenses:

• https://fsl.software/
• https://mariadb.com/bsl-faq-adopting/#whatis

They are not open source. They are restrictive source-available licenses dressed up with “open” language.

Reading the code is not enough. If users cannot freely run, use, or build on the software because of field-of-use or competition restrictions, the software is not open source.

Marketing it as “open source” or even putting “open” in your name is misleading twice: first in the license, then in the messaging.

✊️ France Launches Government Linux Desktop Plan as Windows Exit Begins

"How it all began"

I saw an ad for this CD set at a very low price in a computer magazine. I decided to give it a try, enticed by the low cost and this 'alternative solution to Windows', and in late 1996 I ordered this set.
When it arrived, I was fascinated (having never used a Unix or Unix-like system before) but a bit daunted by the lack of support for the main applications I knew. A few months later, though, I decided to give it another go and from that point, I never looked back. Whether it was Linux, one of the BSDs, or something similar (but Unix or Unix-like), I was not going back to systems like Windows.

My #ThrowbackThursday today is probably one of the most significant in my computing life.

This is a photo of a 6-CD set case for "InfoMagic LINUX Developer's Resource". The CD case cover has a whimsical cartoon character on the front, which appears to be an anthropomorphic penguin dressed as a wizard, complete with a wizard's hat and a magic wand. The character is standing on a stylized representation of the globe. The background is blue and there is a yellow banner on the top right corner that says "QuickStart Guide inside". The packaging suggests that this is a software resource kit for Linux developers from the era when software was commonly distributed on CDs.

This is a photo of the back cover of the "InfoMagic LINUX Developer's Resource CD-ROM" case. The cover lists the contents of the 6-CD set, including distributions like Red Hat 3.0.3 "Picasso", Slackware 3.1, Debian GNU/Linux 1.1.4, and others, with various kernel sources up to version 2.0.12+. It mentions the inclusion of a "QuickStart" installation guide and additional software like X-Free86 Version 3.1.2, with references to online resources. There's also information about the included on-line documentation like "Installation & Getting Started Guide" by Matt Welsh and "Network Administrators Guide", as well as file format details. Contact information for InfoMagic, including telephone, fax, email, and web address, is listed, along with the company's address in Flagstaff, AZ. A barcode is present on the bottom right. The text indicates the product is from 1996, providing a glimpse into the distribution of Linux software in the mid-1990s.

2/2 Once I finish testing I'll publish all the results and methodology to show that the features in omnimem are helping rather than just a pure retrieval metric from the Valkey data store.

You can follow along on the v5 branch and particularly issue #19 at: https://codeberg.org/ric_harvey/omnimem whilst you're there drop me a star please :) It'll all help as I don't have celebrity backers ;)

#opensource #aims to #memory #claude #openai

1/2 So if you're wondering how #omnimem compares to #MemPalace:

result: single-session-assistant type achieved 94.6% on longMemEval.

However, v5 is bringing in LOTS of changes to help with temporal reasoning and multi-session improvements by allowing users to optionally switch on enrichment queues for remember_document(). This will extract individual facts from larger documents helping with the recall() function.

FreeBSD keeps showing that serious open source work also means serious hardware testing.

This laptop compatibility website is a great example of that. It gives people a clearer view of what actually works on real machines and makes FreeBSD more approachable for anyone thinking about using it on a laptop.

What I like most is that this is practical work. It helps users make better decisions, reduces guesswork and strengthens trust in the ecosystem.

🦀 Redox OS — the Rust microkernel OS — has banned all AI/LLM-generated contributions.

Their reasoning:
❌ LLMs produce code that "looks correct" but hides subtle bugs
❌ No chain of accountability for AI-written system code
❌ Legal risk from training data copyright
❌ Erosion of contributor understanding

For OS-level code, this position makes sense. Every line of kernel code has a human who understands it.

Working on an #opensource project can be strange sometimes.

Personally, the strangest is seen when people want something changed.

Some peeps simply ask. (Yes, do this one)

Some get extremely angry that it isn't already like they want and demand it be changed.

Some people try to pay for the change.

Some try to guilt you to make the change by saying other software is sooo much better because it does x, y, z.

Some will try to guilt you by saying this change is the one and only thing keeping them on other software, and if you make the change they'll switch.

Some ask on #reddit, but since I'm not on there, it never reaches me. They then get mad it never happens 😵

It's truly a study in people's character.

I've just moved a number of large files that I do not use often from an active partition to a backup partition.

What is odd is that the access speed to the active partition has increased significantly. Since that should not be possible, that must have to do with the manner in which the active partition is accessed by the Android operating system. Some research required.

The Document Foundation expelled 30+ LibreOffice developers, many from Collabora Productivity, citing unclear legal conflicts despite major code contributions. ⚖️
Collabora plans a fork, raising risks to stability and governance transparency, as FOSS sustainability and user control depend on open stewardship. 🔐

@0xabad1dea ...and nobody's actually leaving though, to speak of. The network effects are too strong. I prefer #codeberg myself, BTW

@eniko To my mind, Luanti hits it just right, targeting low-spec hardware. Even an 8-year-old laptop with a weak Intel video chip will play it just fune. A #luanti server will run on a $5 US/mo server. #Voxelibre is the most fun #OpenSource game I've ever played, BTW.

Consider contributing to the already-existing Luanti community, instead of undertaking a new project that will likely take years to finish. They could use help with the most basic things, like cleaning up documentation, etc.

Consider advocating its inclusion into default #Linux installs, becoming the new Solitaire or Minesweeper.
