My latest blog post: Migrating my Mastodon server to Masto.host

https://mikecoats.com/migrating-to-masto-host/

I migrated my Mastodon server from a self-hosted DigitalOcean droplet to an instance provided by Masto.host. The process was straightforward and took less than an hour.

If you are like me, then you might have installed the #GoogleAuthenticator app, back in the days when it was the only solution out there for #TOTP #2FA.

But that is long ago. Since then, #Google has closed-sourced it's solution, forced #cloudsync otto it's users and stores these information unencrypted; plus it's suspected to collect even more data from you than needed. And it's a US BigTech company.

I've looked into a couple of alternatives and landed with #Aegis and #EnteAuth which are both excellent #free #opensource choices from #europe. I went with @ente because of it's larger platform support.

So why are you not already using an alternative? It's super easy, and took me less then 10 minutes:
1. On GoogleAuthenticator go to the ☰
2. Select transfer codes
3. Select all the codes you want to transfer --> Google will create a number of QR-Codes, each containing 10 accounts.

On your alternative say import, and scan the Google codes and you're good to go and can let go of yet another proprietary US BigTech dependency (and thus liability).

If you are already using a different #TOTP #2FA app on your smartphone, which one is it, and why?

Subject miniPC

Section heat management

I had done everything to get the cooling of the miniPC up to a proper level.

• In the beginning I didn't believe lm-sensors when it reported 90 to 94° C for the temperature of the APU when a browser was used!
  For the first few weeks the system got extremely hot but I did not believe the sensor system. I naively thought that it was just an error especially since when you felt the case from the outside no heat was coming up.
• Because of amd's CPU and APU design, the heat was generated in bursts and dropped down exponentially fast
• It was only after a couple of months when I started to notice a strange pattern.
• At certain points in time when the temperature of the room reached 36 to 39 degrees Celsius the miniPC would crash into a typical bright green screen, no audible warnings from the fan, which later turned out to be so small, that even a GPU from 15 years before, would not be properly cooled down by it let alone a modern notebook APU which has a CPU and a GPU on one die!
• This is when I decided to hack open the system, drill holes into the top off it and get a push pull fan system.
• It took a couple of months to get me to this point, because of the way that heat was introduced to the APU, with little warning from the fan rotation speed.
• The holes did almost nothing; they only dropped the temperature from max 94° C to max 88° C
• I then decided to HACK OPEN the system. That has meant that I had to saw open the miniPC case, running the line past the holes that I had drilled
• This has dropped the max temperature from 88° C to 84° C
• An important drop was the Average Temperature which went down from the enormous heights of 72° C all the way to 48° C. Idle temperature dropped even more all the way down to 36° C which was close to the room temperature

This was a tremendous achievement

• The amount of time needed to get to relatively normal temperatures was so long that the permanent damage to the APU had already been done.
• The miniPC has never been able to run a modern browser in a good fashion. In fact the machine crashed more than 64 times a day, every time a browser whether it was Chrome or Firefox was run on a complex website.
• A site where the browser would crash the miniPC the fastest is Amazon.
• All I needed to do was rearrange my items from the overflow list to the main list.
• I was able to crash the computer in less than 90 seconds!

It's never performed well due to overheating.

Thanks for the Enshittification of hardware Gigabyte.

Now I have no computer anymore and no finances to purchase a new one, in the near future.

‘#OpenSource And #Ethical’ #TikTok, #WhatsApp And #Instagram Alternatives Could Transform #SocialMedia

from #Forbes
ByEsat Dedezade, Contributor.

Jan 25, 2025, 12:23pm EST

[a very well-written article with a favorable yet realistic angle on the #Fediverse]

"At the heart of these alternative apps lies the Fediverse platform — a portmanteau of "federated" and "universe" that represents a radical reimagining of how social media can work. Unlike traditional platforms where users are locked into isolated ecosystems, the Fediverse operates as an interconnected network of independent servers that communicate with each other through a standard protocol called #ActivityPub."

Since the license is MIT it's easy to Fork
Read my sentence carefully easy to Fork not an Easy project to continue.

IMHO X.org is so important that a group of seasoned programmers have to, not just fork, but put up the infrastructure that the fork can be continued just like The Force

I deliberately used the reference of The Force

There are way too many systems which rely on X.org and cannot or will not use Wayland

As you all know all major desktop environments DE and window managers WM are as agnostic as possible to the this display system.
The reasons are obvious and all the technical details are in the Man Pages of those specific window managers and desktop environments.

It's only Gnome where the programmers want to Super dictate what goes on in that DE, and it's their right because they have people {hundreds of thousands?} who love that kind of dominance invoked upon them.

If there are enough people who don't like that they are also allowed to Fork Gnome.

More massive projects have been forked and they are still around Alive and kicking.

From my perspective it's just a new spawn of x.org

Soon, I’ll be throwing away all my desktop computers as well, though I’m keeping my Lenovo Thinkpad around. I hate computers, yet I use them.

To me, computers are just junk nobody asked for. They’re glowing traps that keep us hooked, scrolling and clicking away our time for endless feeds. No matter the OS or hardware, it’s all distraction from reality.

Yes, Linux can free us and all that, and even the hardware can be part of that freedom. But the computers themselves remain a circus of junk nobody wanted, a noisy distraction that too often chains us to control and chaos. It’s a digital con, plain and simple.

Time to unplug the lie and reclaim what’s left of my mind.

Here are the specs powering this setup:
- Intel Core i9-9900K
- NVIDIA RTX 2070
- Debian GNU/Linux 13
- 15.54 GiB Memory
- 455.95 GiB Samsung Evo 970

On June 10th, Google released Android 16 to AOSP - but without Pixel device-specific source code. This unexpected change impacts all custom Android ROM development, including CalyxOS or others. Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is coming to end. Sources:

This is a s screenshot of a Discord conversation from "grapheneos.grapheneos.org" which reads: "yes we received information that AOSP is being discontinued they said the first step would be Android 16 dropping the Pixel repositories we didn't really believe it now we can see the first part has happened according to the source, the official Android is becoming closed source it will no doubt be continued as an open source project outside Google or a new Android company split from Google by the US court system it's possible this will all be reversed if it's split from Googlee".

I find myself once again looking for a good solution to a common problem: as an open source project, hosting documentation/text-based resources as Markdown files in a git repository makes a lot of sense. Buuuut as a collaborative project that wants to invite explicitly less-technical people into the fold, using git and Markdown has a fairly high gatekeeping factor.

How is this not a solved problem? :(

This is a screen capture of KDE Connect on one of my Androids.

As you can clearly see my LAN has quite an amount of devices. All of these devices are being used by me.
They have specific purposes which makes my Android experience along with my Computing experience versatile and efficient.

I did not know how important KDE connect was for me. When I learned about it, I knew that it doesn't just enrich what I can do

KDE Connect is not a gimmick where I can control a Media Player, without any network connectivity by itself, from any of my KDE Connect devices. Many different functions can be handled smoothly without any problems, with the highest Speed that my wLAN can deliver from the point of my view of the LAN routers I have in my network.

Right now I'm using a wLAN router that is portable. This enables me to have the most efficient data transfer Speed between the devices I have on me without any snooping from any Big Company.

🌟 Exciting News in Digital Freedom! 🌟

Starting next month, Denmark's Minister of Digitization, Caroline Stage, plans to phase out Microsoft and other tech giants' programs within her ministry. This bold move aims to reduce reliance on U.S.-based tech companies and embrace open-source alternatives.

Half of the ministry's employees will transition to a new computer system, replacing Windows with open-source solutions. Specifically, they will adopt LibreOffice, a free and open-source office suite, as an alternative to Microsoft's Word, Excel, Teams, and PowerPoint.

"I want to take the lead and try it out. When the opportunity presented itself, it would be crazy not to seize it. I am very much looking forward to seeing how it works in practice," says Minister Stage.

This initiative aligns with Denmark's broader strategy to achieve digital sovereignty and reduce dependence on large tech corporations. The goal is for the entire ministry to be free of Microsoft by the fall. However, if the transition faces significant challenges, there is flexibility to revert temporarily.

The push for digital sovereignty is gaining momentum, especially in light of current global dynamics and concerns over data protection. Political parties like the Red-Green Alliance and the Alternative have also voiced support for reducing ties with American tech giants.

Let's celebrate this shift towards freedom, collaboration, and innovation in the tech landscape! 🎉

Creating & joining a #Proxmox cluster with #Ansible has never been easier than it is now with my new Ansible module!

My new Ansible module "proxmox_cluster" just made its way into the upstream Ansible Community Proxmox collection and can now be used with Ansible Galaxy.

With my additional toolings, we install Proxmox VE nodes in a fully automated way (even with my new cloud images), create clusters with proxmox_cluster module and load balance the guest VMs with my ProxLB tool.

Happy to announce, that there'll be a talk about my #ProxLB project at the Dutch #Proxmox Day 2025!

In "The Art of Balance – Dynamic Load Management in Proxmox with ProxLB", @formorer (from our company @credativde speaks about the opportunities by integrating such solutions into your Proxmox cluster!

Thanks to the Tuxis Team for providing us this opportunity!

Feel free to join the Dutch Proxmox Day - 25.09.2025!

Proxmox for Enterprises: Imagine DRS-Like Guest Load Balancing!

ProxLB automatically rebalances VMs & Containers across a Proxmox cluster based on memory, CPU, and local disk usage, and can suggest the best nodes for further automation within CI/CDs. It supports maintenance mode, affinity and anti-affinity rules, and integrates seamlessly with the Proxmox API and ACL system. No SSH, just pure API! The best - it's free & #opensource
