I support open source and Libre Office, but it absolutely needs gigantic overhaul and modernizing of the UI. Using it, compared to simpler online tools, sucks.

Follow-up on the honeytoken project: I tried to add Azure support to get feature parity with the AWS module — basically the same idea, just App Registration + Service Principal instead of IAM, and Event Grid instead of EventBridge.
The infrastructure part works fine. The detection part doesn’t. Azure Activity Log only records events that a resource provider actually processed, and RBAC rejects zero-permission identities before they ever reach one. I tested three real AuthorizationFailed calls just to be sure — none of them showed up in Activity Log.
The “real” fix would be Entra Sign-in Logs, which do capture failed auth attempts regardless of RBAC. But those require a P1 license, and every free path to them is currently closed. So the Azure module is marked experimental in the README instead of pretending it’s finished.

Switzerland Is Building a Second System Alongside Microsoft. And Europe Is Changing How It Measures Sovereignty
On September 2, the Swiss Federal Chancellery launched a program to build a sovereign office environment based on open-source software.
We had difficulties automatically classifying chats, messaging channels, and forums. So we tested several open-weight large language models for our use case. The benchmark is published below, along with a tool supporting the classification process.
This helps us avoid manually classifying channels collected from dark-web forums and social networks, while reliably identifying which channels can be discarded and which deserve further analysis.

I think this sums up the last couple weeks in the #opensource world.
Are there general purpose programming IDEs other than VS Code that don't absolutely suck?
PyCharm is okay but kinda bothers me (also I don't like needing to install multiple IDEs for different languages), and it won't use my terminal environment properly for some reason.
A lot of the other IDEs are actually just fancy text editors without language features.
I really am worried about the direction VS Code is headed with like all the AI features and other enshittification. I don't want to wake up one day and see they've ruined something else too. Any recommendations?

This stable release contains several months worth of patches, bug fixes, security updates, and more from new and longtime contributors.

I (@grimmy) am going to state this as clearly as possible here in the hopes it'll propagate quickly.
#Pidgin, and the other projects we maintain alongside it, have never and will never knowingly accept AI-assisted anything.
We proudly respect all licenses, #OpenSource and proprietary, and will not taint our license with whatever you think AI-generated code is licensed under.
A more formal document is now in the works in the hopes that our precious volunteer time will be spared.

I spent two days stress testing the engine and the API interface with Dex & Dalvik.
Even though there are already specialized tools out there for Android reversing, these two guys have some unique properties compared to the canonical architectures.
Dalvik is a bytecode based VM and it's designed to run Dex files.
Testing them exposed limitations in REDasm's API design where "Processor" and "Loader" plugins are isolated and cannot share data directly (there are ways to notify data though, eg. interrupts in x86).
The Dex loader is now expressive enough to map symbols, names, functions, etc. where Dalvik expects them.
This capability ultimately led to a much better type system.

It's been fascinating to catch snippets of other #opensource #developers coming together to establish common ground over the last week. We had to work through a number of negative emotions once we got word about parts of our own projects being associated to #fascist shitbirds.
But what I'm enjoying the most is how like minded people are coming together and discussing how to move forward together, with a lot of common goals. People are discussing the effectiveness of current software licensing (#agpl, etc) and whether we need to make new ones, vetting of 3rd party libraries, and above all else, keeping the aforementioned shitbirds out.
And we do need to keep them out. Because they are going to keep outing themselves as the horrible people they are.
So far in the last month, I've watched #tailwindcss, #laravel, and #digitalocean go deep into the abyss with either supporting fascism and/or aggressively shoving AI shit into every thing they do.
Those 3 things I just mentioned are the primary tools I use in the work I have done for over a decade. And with each announcement regarding them, they were dead to me in that same moment.
I'm determined to build out my own replacements for #css and #php framework. Just like the #indieweb, it's all about owning your works with a strong #diy ethos.
It appears the #technofascist reveal party we're going through has allowed for good things to happen. Much to their chagrin...

I'm not a #neovim user, but it was on my list of editors to test out - due to the praise it's gotten from a lot of people I know and trust, as well as all over the Interwebs.
But I lost interest after seeing how the Neovim maintainer handled this case:
https://github.com/neovim/neovim.github.io/issues/501
I mean, that's just cruel behaviour of the project lead and maintainer.
I'm just disappointed. And I don't even care what anyone else think about that. This just makes Neovim a completely unacceptable project for me to even look at any closer.

Damn, #Codeberg is really taking off! Just noticed a project that has 901 stars. Those are 901 people who went out of their way to give a star to a project they liked, which means there must have been so many more who are using the project but did not give a star. Good to see that Codeberg is being used by so many people, as GitHub is truly unusable these days, with pages that refuse to load and GenAI pushed down your throat everywhere.

One shared Markdown index, many developers and coding agents writing through separate Git branches.
The entries may be completely unrelated - but if they land at the same place, Git can still produce a merge conflict.
I solved this in Keep the Why by giving the index deterministic A-Z / 0-9 write areas from the beginning.
The nice part: this mainly solves the sparse-index problem. As the index grows, its existing entries naturally create more separation.
It also makes the structure easier for coding agents to search.

Good idea: Run your own personal cloud
Most of the software we use every day runs on someone else's computer. Cloud in a Bottle is an open source project that lets you run your own cloud server with one click app installs, just like a smartphone. It works on an old laptop, a cheap rented server, or a managed instance starting at $5 a month. The catalog already includes file storage, a password manager, media streaming, a private search engine, and more. Every app runs in its own security sandbox and all your data stays yours with no lock in. It's early days but the whole thing is open source and actively developed.

Open source tools like FreeCAD are okay for quick sketches, but the transition from traditional CAD is often overrated. The flexibility is there, but the workflow feels clunky compared to what I used for my projects in Kyiv. Most people push it for the price, but for a real architect, the logic of the space matters more than the software license. It is a tool, not a solution for better design.

I must admit that I am not privy to the particulars of this matter. However, Luanti's contributions to the FOSS community would be best served by his continuation in his role. Microsoft has expressed concerns that the Luanti interface bears a striking resemblance to Minecraft. However, it's important to note that Luanti does not resemble Minecraft at all. Instead of being a closed source, Luanti is an open platform that empowers individuals to create their own gaming experiences and modifications.
Imagine if Luanti were a lookalike of Roblox, but it was born as free software and was part of the FOSS community. This would allow users to do anything with it and would not limit the creativity of game developers.
It should be noted that one of Luanti's games, Mineclonia, is a result of cloning/reversing Minecraft. However, its results differ significantly from the original Minecraft. Therefore, in the event of Microsoft withdrawing their DMCA claim, it would be reasonable to conclude that Luanti should be allowed to live.

Fortunately, unlike Codeberg, the Git providers GitHub, GitLab, and GitFlic have all been in agreement and have seen reason.
The scam group, along with their allies, have previously filed multiple false flag reports. They have a clear financial incentive to discourage, oppress, and discredit any attempt to filter them out — and that includes my block list.
It has been over a month since the Codeberg incident. While I would have preferred a repository with better digital sovereignty than the USA or Russia, it ironically seems the more reliable providers with sound reasoning are GitHub, GitLab, and GitFlic.
I would argue and encourage FOSS developments to think about that. The last thing you want is your work being sniped by a bunch of trolls dogpiling your project. It seems prudent and wise to choose a provider who ignores drama, false flags, and other such nonsense.
The deepest lock-in in most buildings is not the cloud contract. It is the ERP. Finance, stock, people and customers all at once, which is why the renewal is never negotiable and most organisations inherit rather than choose.
I have written up what replacing the tier-one default with Odoo, a Belgian open-source suite, looks like in practice. Scoped first phases in weeks, six of them for one function, not the six-to-eighteen-month norm the incumbents quote. The honest limits are in there too: deep vertical functionality is where SAP earns its price.

What happens when a fresh coding-agent session sees an idea that was already investigated and rejected?
I ran a small experiment: 10 sessions without recorded rationale, 10 with it stored in the repository.
Without project memory, 7/10 sessions put the rejected approach back on the table.
With the rationale available: 0/10.
The runs were also noticeably faster: median wall time dropped from 43s to 18s.
The point is not that Markdown makes the model smarter.
It simply lets the next session start where the previous one ended.

I keep coming back to one idea:
Every repository should carry its own memory.
Git shows what changed, but not the decisions that never became code. A week later, a fresh agent can have the same bad idea again.
Keep the Why puts that reasoning next to the code.

Plot twist:
The EC is using the ambiguity in the legal text and communicated last Friday that steward reporting start Dec 11, 2017 instead. Presumably, someone somehow was badly behind schedule and they felt a need to accommodate. Oh well.
> Article 24(3) of the CRA establishes that reporting obligations [..] apply to open-source software stewards under certain circumstances. [..] Article 24(3) shall apply from 11 December 2027.

Fast, lightweight, open source and hosted on a small raspberrypi on my network with no maintenance needed for the last five years or so. (via a docker compose container that gets the latest version every weekly with no manual intervention other than a pull/restart).

The trendy new term Homelabbing is gradually becoming part of our everyday lives. Essentially, it means building servers at home and running pretty much any software you can think of on them.
There are countless ways to use a homelab. You can install ready-made solutions like Home Assistant, set up a database, build a home media library, run your own service, or deploy yet another app you vibe-coded over a weekend.
What got me interested in Homelabbing was an old laptop. Its battery had died for the second time in a year, and there was no way to upgrade its RAM beyond 8 GB. I started thinking about replacing the laptop, but the old machine turned out to be a great platform for getting familiar with Homelabbing and Self-Hosted solutions.
For the operating system, I chose Proxmox. In my opinion, it is one of the most convenient options for projects like this thanks to its open-source nature, extensive set of tools for working with virtual machines, and convenient web interface.
The first thing I installed on the server was Home Assistant, along with a Linux virtual machine for learning the popular Hermes tool. I’ll talk about both of them in more detail in upcoming posts.

In other good news, I have been using KeePassXC(KeePassDX on Android) for months now...It is a solid ass app both on my computer and my phone. It does the job and produces some good passphrases and passwords when I need it to, on Android it supports fingerprint unlocking of my password vault.
There is also a plugin for it to autofill in a browser, so that's also handy (admittedly slightly risky).
I do like the offline nature of it, and if I ever need to update my stored passwords I use a microSD and use that to transfer information between my two devices.
Or for single entries I will manually edit and update them. I enjoy the intentional nature of being offline and how it makes me remember to practice good database hygiene on a regular basis.
Ich habe eben auf einem mailserver, der nicht im Internet steht diesen History-Eintrag gefunden: Sehr seltsam auch, dass der Mailserver heute zweimal stehen blieb, aber es hat sich niemand eingeloggt.

Weird. Woher kommen die Einträge in der History?
