Hello Mastodon! I'm into Computer #Security, #Programming, #ReverseEngineering, #Hacking, #Linux, #AmateurRadio, #Privacy, #OpenSource, #Cryptography and generally anything creative and interesting involving tech. Especially things that help people communicate and use computers more privately and securely. Lately I've been tinkering with mesh networks like #Meshtastic, #MeshCore and #Reticulum. Longtime #QubesOS and #GrapheneOS user.

I also enjoy touching grass like #Camping, #Backpacking and generally being in nature. Would recommend.

This is a personal/professional account so keep an eye out for various writeups and research, for work and for fun. Previous jobs ranged from #SoftwareEngineering to Computer Security #Research and #InfoSec, and I'm looking for more of the same.

🛠️ Tool: e2e Open Source AI Testing Framework
===================

e2e by TesterArmy is an open-source end-to-end testing framework designed for web and mobile applications. The framework allows developers to describe a testing goal in natural language, and an integrated agent drives the application to achieve that goal. Results are then verified using standard locators and assertions within the same test script.

🔹 Key Features

The primary feature of e2e is its ability to record agent steps. When an agent step is verified by a subsequent assertion, the framework records the actions taken. On the next run, e2e replays these recorded actions without making any model calls until the application changes. This significantly reduces the cost and latency associated with AI-driven testing. Additionally, tests that do not include agent steps require no model at all. Users can bring their own subscription, API key, or local model.

🔹 Technical Implementation

The framework is composed of several npm packages. The core e2e package provides the SDK, runner, and CLI. For web testing, @e2e-dev/web offers a browser engine supporting Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit through Playwright. For mobile testing, @e2e-dev/mobile provides an engine for iOS and Android simulators and emulators using agent-device. There are also packages for GitHub pull request reporting (@e2e-dev/github), hosted browsers (@e2e-dev/kernel), and hosted simulators (@e2e-dev/eas).

The CLI sends anonymous usage data, including which commands and engines run and where runs fail. It does not send test content, app content, or credentials. Users can opt out using npx e2e telemetry disable or the E2E_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1 environment variable.

🔹 Use Cases

This framework is suitable for teams looking to automate end-to-end tests without writing extensive boilerplate code for every UI interaction. It is particularly useful for testing complex user flows, such as checkout processes or workspace upgrades, where defining exact step-by-step UI interactions is tedious. The natural language approach allows testers to focus on the goal, while the agent handles the navigation.

🔹 Limitations

The project is currently in active development on the way to version 1.0. The developers note that APIs and configuration can still change between minor releases. This means early adopters should be prepared for potential breaking changes as the framework matures. The documentation ships offline with the e2e package, which is useful for coding agents working in restricted environments.

The beginning of the month, when every junk producer's token limit resets, and we get a whole new wave of junk. Turning off PRs helped a lot, but they just started opening "test issue, checking if my API access is broken", or commenting or emailing their patches instead. I really wish I knew how to escape this without turning off community interaction entirely. #python #flask #opensource

RE: https://mastodon.xyz/@nextcloud/117359711364631730

I can advise the following @fdroidorg apps. Some apps need an additional repository.

* Aegis Authenticator (my preffered 2FA app)
* AntennaPod @AntennaPod (best Android podcast app)
* Breezy Weather (weather app for weather nerds)
* Bubble (IMO the best spirit level/ruler app)
* Celestia (another astronomy app)
* Compressor (suburb video compressor. get those Mastodon video's below 100MB on the road! (or rails) - needs IzzyOnDroid repo: https://android.izzysoft.de/repo.
* Convertor NOW (because those Yankees refuse to use the metric system)
* DAVx @davx5app (best way to link Caldav calendars and Carddav contact books)
* FairEmail (email app for power users. yes, you need to pay a very small fee for pro features)
* Fennec or IronFox (two great Firefox forks) - IronFox needs its own repo: https://ironfoxoss.org/download/#f-droid)
* Fluffychat (IMO the best Matrix client - also for the Linux desktop)
* Fossify Calendar (simple and no bloat. works great with DAVx)
* Fossify Contacts (simple, non bloated contact apps. works great with DAVx)
* Fossify Gallery (my preferred media gallery app, better IMO than the /e/OS default)
* Fossify Messages (simple, non bloated SMS app)
* Fossify Thank You (to donate to the great Fossify project and also with some small extra features)
* Heliboard (IMO best open-source keyboard. hopefully with native gestures ASAP)
* Image Toolbox (this is a power-house to do everything with images - has a learning curve, but it is great!)
* Joplin @joplinapp (best note taking app, better than Nextcloud Notes, because it's end-to-end encrypted)
* KDE Connect (link your phone with your KDE or Gnome (using GSConnect) desktop)
* Lawnchair @lawnchairapp (my preferred Android launcher, because the default /e/OS launcher sucks)
* LibreOffice Viewer (official app to view LibreOffice, OpenOffice and even MS Office documents (if you are into that).
* LibreTorrent (to download Linux ISO torrents on your phone for fun)
* Material Files (a non bloated file manager)
* Metrolist (to play music from YouTube without an account - good alternative for evil Spotify)
* Moshidon @moshidon (although it badly needs an update. the nightly is not yet ready. I still use it, with the web-app installed for quote posts)
* Nearby Glasses (hunt for Meta pervert glasses, but unfortunately not yet found) - needs IzzyOnDroid repo
* Nextcloud News (needs a Nextcloud account)
* Nextcloud (only if you have an account on a Nextcloud server)
* Next Player (simple, non bloated video player) - needs IzzyOnDroid repo
* Nora (great way to sandbox big-tech sites)
* Open Video Editor (the only working open-source video editor for Android, although it is not updated for two years)
* OSMAnd~ (IMO the best @openstreetmap app for Android, although it has a small learning curve)
* Peertube app @peertube (does not need an explanation)
* Pixelfed app @pixelfed (for if you have a Pixelfed account)
* RadioDroid (still IMO the best internet radio app, although not updated for three years)
* Signal @signalapp (I don't have WhatsApp, so you need something 😉) - needs the Guardian Project repo (you only need to toggle this in the F-droid settings)
* Sky Map (the open-source sky view alternative)
* SpamBlocker (because I have an ungoogled phone (/e/OS on Fairphone) I need this. maybe you as well. @murena should build this in, because this app is not very user friendly)
* Torrent Search (to search for Linux ISO torrents)
* Vegan Inspector (checks if products are vegan or vegetarian)
* VLC (does the same has Next Player, but with a (IMO) ugly interface. I keep this installed as an alternative if something doesn't wants to play, but I can't remember when I needed it. get rid of the orange!)
* Voice Audiobook Player (the only one that actually worked with local files)
* Wallabag (Pocket alternative, needs a Wallabag account on a Wallabag server)
* Wikipedia (who doesn't need Wikipedia)
* YTDLnis (download video and audio from YouTube and many other sites using yt-dlp)

🛠️ Tool
===================

Piik is an open-source, private screen sharing tool designed for sharing games, movie nights, drawings, and photos with up to 20 viewers. Viewers can join via an invitation link and watch directly in their desktop or mobile browsers without needing to install any software.

Key Features
• Browser-based viewing: Friends join via invitation and watch in desktop or mobile browsers.
• Flexible sharing sources: Hosts can share a screen, window, browser tab, or camera. Available sources and audio depend on the platform.
• P2P-first media: Media travels directly between participants where possible. A self-hosted server can provide automatic media forwarding (SFU) as a fallback.
• Room management: Invitations, room codes, and optional room passwords for one host and up to 20 viewers.
• Single binary hosting: Web UI, room management, and optional media forwarding are packaged together for self-hosting.

Technical Implementation
The tool emphasizes direct P2P connections for media transmission. If P2P is not viable, a self-hosted Piik Server on a Linux x64 server can act as an SFU (Selective Forwarding Unit) to relay media. The server packages the web UI, room management, and media forwarding into a single program.

Use Cases
• Hosting private movie nights or game streaming sessions for small groups.
• Sharing drawings or photos with friends in real-time.
• Providing commentary over shared media using the built-in microphone support.

Installation/Setup
To host, download the Piik App, extract and open it, choose Public invite, then Open Piik to create a temporary room. Alternatively, advanced users can deploy Piik Server on a Linux x64 server with their own domain.

Note: Tool not independently verified.

GCVE BCP-05-X-03: Bringing Vulnerability Handling Timelines into Vulnerability Records.

Vulnerability records usually provide a good description of what a vulnerability is, which products are affected, how severe it may be, and where additional information can be found.

They are often much less effective at describing what happened, when it happened, and who was involved during the vulnerability handling and disclosure process.

Following many discussions during VulnOptiCON 2026 in Luxembourg, this limitation became particularly clear. Vulnerability analysts, coordinators, vendors and other participants repeatedly discussed how difficult it can be to reconstruct a reliable timeline during vulnerability analysis and coordinated vulnerability disclosure.

To help address this, the GCVE initiative has published a new extension:

GCVE BCP-05-X-03 - Vulnerability Handling and Disclosure Timeline.

The extension provides a structured and machine-readable way to represent the lifecycle of a vulnerability from discovery and reporting through acknowledgement, validation, remediation and public disclosure. It's already live in our open-source tool-set.

Well, since I have presented it in a talk just now, I made as well "announce" it: my colleague Daniel and I started a company (small-business style, no investors) to commercialize open-source test and measurement hardware related to (flow) batteries. Been getting a crash course in French/EU business administration 😵‍💫. Not to mention a cease-and-desist for our original name 😬, hence our very not startupy, lawyer-friendly 20th-century vintage name:

"Smith and Fernandez Laboratories" (aka SANDFLABS /s)

We are currently working on CE certification of some equipment we plan to offer, and have already worked with universities and research institutions in multiple EU countries.

More details in time, I will certainly be posting about our progress. I am still doing battery R&D of course, but have been held up more admin than normal lately!

I have just started using a tool called difit ( https://github.com/yoshiko-pg/difit ). This tool allows me to review my local diffs before ever pushing them to GitHub, in an interface similar to GitHub's pull request interface. When using agentic development, this is one of the most amazing tools I've seen so far. I can actually go back and forth with comments (just like on GitHub), refining the work in progress. With the optional agent skills, I don't have to push, open a pull request, and manually take things back to the agent. It's all integrated.

If I have a complaint about it, it's that once I clicked the "viewed" button, a subsequent update to the file does not undo that click and expand the file. I have to do it manually.

Even without agentic development, I'd have to recommend this tool. It's a phenomenal way to do a final local review before publishing any of the results anywhere. Seriously, check it out. It's already earned its place in my toolbox, and is going to stay there for a long time.

Let me get this straight.

Digital Ocean paid 2 million dollars to fund that rich racist's Linux project.

But it has started pulling out support of open source projects that got tiny fractions of that for their functioning.

I'm never paying Digital Ocean again.

This is very bad news. Owncast has relied on this program the past couple of years, and has allowed us to have servers and services we wouldn't normally afford to be able to do otherwise, especially now with Gabe being unemployed.

Any other cloud hosting providers want to step in and help all the open source projects that are going to be in this position?

Additionally, this might be a good time to show your financial support for Owncast.

Zoom ➡️ Jitsi
OneDrive/GDrive ➡️ Nextcloud
Google Android ➡️ GrapheneOS
Windows ➡️ Linux

and possibly more, depending on how many people I can recruit to help run the event.

The plan is mainly to show people what using these #OpenSource systems is like, not necessarily wiping their device or deleting their corporate accounts right there on the spot.

I got a PineTime #OpenSource smartwatch to monitor my heart rate on hikes and bike rides. I've had it for a couple months now. I like it a lot, and it's an amazing deal. Finding an app to record heart rate was the hardest part, but it turned out OsmAnd, already my favorite Android mapping app (#FOSS and uses #OpenStreetMap), does a great job. Big thumbs up for both #PineTime and #OsmAnd.

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange

One of the open source projects I used to (many years ago, so I am not really affected anymore) has recently decided to allow AI contributions. One of their arguments is that they judge submissions on quality, not tools used.

Back when I was an active contributor (to the project and maintainer of some other parts of the surrounding ecosystem), I got a lot of submissions that were bad.

The thing is, I absolutely loved getting these because they always came from super-enthusiastic junior people. Reviewing them and giving feedback often too much longer than implementing the feature myself. The same was usually true for the next contribution too. But that shifted over time. After a few months, I started getting patches where I didn’t find anything beyond the cosmetic that I wanted to change.

Going back further, I was one of those people when I started contributing.

Measured as code contributions over the short term, maintainers working with submitters of poor-quality PRs is a waste of time. You’re taking time away from writing code to do something that produces code more slowly.

Measured over the long term, the results are very different. Far more code in that project and closely related parts of the ecosystem has been written by people who I mentored when they came along with some bad code than by me.

It’s never a waste of my time to turn an enthusiastic and incompetent contributor into an enthusiastic and competent contributor, it’s an absolutely critical part of building a healthy project. I wouldn’t have got nearly as much out of F/OSS on a personal level if I hadn’t encountered a lot of people with the same opinion when I was one of the enthusiastic and incompetent newcomers.

But LLMs are not like that. If I spend time reviewing LLM-generated code when it would have been faster to write it myself (which, to be clear, is the case on 100% of LLM-submitted PRs I’ve seen so far), then that’s just a time sink. It’s also taking away time I could be spending helping new contributors who want to actually improve, rather than just take the review comments, feed them into an opaque system, and give me back the results.

🎉 Drift — Share to Mastodon is officially live on the Chrome Web Store!

Yesterday I wrote about why I built Drift. Today, version 1.0.0 is approved and available for anyone to install.

Drift makes one of my common Mastodon workflows a lot easier:

🔹 Highlight a passage on a webpage

🔹 Click Drift

🔹 Get an editable draft with the passage, title, and link

🔹 Add your own thoughts

🔹 Choose your Mastodon server

🔹 Review and publish from Mastodon itself

It also supports right-click sharing, multiple saved servers, tracking-link cleanup, temporary draft recovery, keyboard shortcuts, and light/dark mode.

No Mastodon password. No API token. Nothing gets published automatically.

It’s free and open source.

Chrome Web Store:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/gfngoampnddkablfoplbllkdcfkifnij

I wrote more about how it works and the privacy decisions behind it here:

OpenInfra Europe, the European hub of the foundation behind OpenStack, has warned that its artifact server was compromised. An Artifactory authentication bypass disclosed on 28 August was being exploited by the 31st, the day the server fell. It was noticed on 15 September, when a legitimate user was locked out. Anything downloaded in between is treated as potentially compromised.

The uncomfortable part: this was no zero-day, but a known flaw on internet-facing plumbing that other people build software from. An artifact server is a distribution point. Tamper there and every downstream pipeline inherits it.

Open source infrastructure is critical infrastructure. Its plumbing deserves the same patch clock and monitoring as the things it serves.

This explains very well why "bad" code contributions by enthusiastic people can still be very worthwhile in the long run.

Also LLM's will not share a drink with you at a conference reminiscing about that time you collaborated on a piece of code, or sharing stories about stuff happening in their life.

Opensource projects dismissing these social aspects are doomed in my view.

It is the result of decisions, rejected alternatives, production constraints and workarounds that made sense at the time.

With Keep the Why, that reasoning lives as plain Markdown in the repository and can reference reasoning in other repositories.

Once those links exist, something interesting emerges: a web of project rationale you can actually walk.

Families show where reasoning belongs.

Friends show where projects relate.

Microsoft has open-sourced #TauGrid, a cloud-native AI infrastructure platform designed to make running GPU workloads on Kubernetes easier.

TauGrid brings several pieces together into a single stack:

• A CLI for submitting and managing AI workloads
• Kueue for workload queueing, quotas, and scheduling
• KubeRay for distributed AI workloads
• GPU health monitoring and node diagnostics
• Integrated observability for clusters, GPUs, and workloads

It supports workloads across data preparation, distributed training, fine-tuning, batch inference, and model serving.

The interesting part is the separation of responsibilities. Researchers can submit and monitor workloads without needing to manage Kubernetes directly, while platform teams retain control over compute, capacity, identity, policies, and infrastructure.

For organizations running GPU-intensive AI workloads, this could provide a more standardized way to manage shared Kubernetes-based AI infrastructure without building all of the integration glue themselves.

TauGrid is MIT licensed and designed for self-hosted Kubernetes environments.

🌱 Nachhaltige Digitalisierung oder digitale Nachhaltigkeit? Warum nicht beides?

Die DINAconCH widmet einen ganzen Track dem Thema Nachhaltigkeit mit und durch Digitalisierung. In sechs Sessions beleuchten wir, wie Digitalisierung ökologisch, sozial und technologisch nachhaltig gestaltet werden kann, und wie aus einer Notwendigkeit ein Wettbewerbsvorteil wird.

🗂️ Die Themen des Tracks:

🖥️ Resiliente IT-Infrastrukturen als Basis technologischer Nachhaltigkeit

🤝 UX-Design als Hebel für soziale Nachhaltigkeit

🚆 Mobilitätsdaten für einen besseren öffentlichen Verkehr

🌍 Die ökologische Nachhaltigkeit digitaler Lösungen

🔐 Das Potenzial digitaler Souveränität

🤖 Künstliche Intelligenz als zentraler und herausfordernder Player

Seien Sie dabei, wenn wir die digitale Zukunft gestalten. Nachhaltig.

Any tips on finding a place to live, work, sorting out a bank account/phone, or just getting settled?

I left the UK about 10 years ago, so I’ll also need to get my English back up to speed! 😅
