It's sad that a modern desktop can't run well on 4 GB RAM. Tonight we visited a woman who studies on a university online; I had put together a 4 GB RAM #Linux laptop for her last year (optimized #linuxmint takes 1 GB of RAM on a cold boot). She's constantly swapping with #LibreOffice, browser, and 1-2 more apps. Everything crawls, even if things were actually worse when it was running Win10. I just wish devs optimized more in general. 4 GB should have been enough.

I asked AI: “What do you know about me?” 🤖
Some answers were accurate. Others were completely wrong. It made me think about AI memory, privacy, and how much AI really knows about us.

"When I started doing open-source, it was fun. And it kind of still is. But the environment has shifted. Open-source sometimes feels like exploitation. What I would like to see is to find a new model where people working on open-source would be awarded for their work and the hours and hours they put into it from the people who most benefit from their work. I would like companies to realize that this is exploitation. Any exploitation is not sustainable. And it will end up badly if this continues, because the people doing the open-source will stop being motivated to actually do anything in the end."

The "Educating to Be Human" #podcast did an episode with me: "#SoftwareFreedom and the Case for Open" (in a series with other great guests):
"Matthias reflects on the deeply human desire to explore, experiment, tinker, share knowledge, and build on one another's ideas – making clear why #openSource #software is much more than just code, and why the ability to have #digitalautonomy and #decentralized access is still extremely relevant today."

Still maintaining legacy PHP apps?
I built php2shell-migration, an open-source AI agent skill that helps modernize outdated PHP applications. It plans migrations, applies upgrades on a separate Git branch, runs tests, and writes a report showing what was actually verified.
Supports 20+ frameworks (Laravel, Symfony, WordPress, Drupal, Magento, Joomla...). Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode.
@benlockwood IMHO the next ten years will be a big migration away from all the ruined products and platforms we have become dependent on, and a journey of discovery to new alternatives for communicating with one another. It will be refreshing and I'm quite looking forward to it 😀

Die neuen Platinen für meinen #Linux #Treiber #Workshop 2027 sind da 🎉
Nächstes Jahr entwickeln wir einen Treiber für dieses einfache #USB Gerät, das es uns erlaubt, eine RGB LED anzusteuern und einen Taster auszulesen. Auf der Platine ist ein neuer AVR Mikrocontroller, auf dem #tinyUSB läuft.
Die Platinen erleichtern mein Reisegepäck, da ich dann keine Raspberry Pis mehr mitschleppen muss. Allerdings müssen die Teilnehmenden dann etwas Zeit in die Vorbereitung stecken und ihren Laptop entsprechend einrichten. Die Anleitungen dafür erstelle ich später 😉
Auf den #CLT2027 wird mein Workshop voraussichtlich das erste Mal 2027 angeboten. Ich freue mich drauf 🐧

It was about a week ago I posted about e-petition 7686, calling on the government to enforce the Canada Health Act and improve public health care in Canada. At that point there were 346 signatures, but signatures had slowed to a trickle. In the time left, it seemed it would not reach the 500 signature mark required for it to certified (which allows for it to be presented in Parliament, obligating the government to answer it in writing).
But people here began boosting the post and signing the petition, surpassing the 500 signature mark in a week. Fabulous.
This shows the power of Mastodon. In the past I've tried posting stuff like this to non-free networks like Facebook or Reddit or Twitter. And the response was never as great as it was here. This shows the power of a community that is not controlled by algorithms.
So, I extend a big thank you to everyone who took part. Our desire for universal public health care will be communicated to the government. And if we don't like their answer, we'll then decide upon our next steps.

Here is this week's #Linux and #OpenSource news video, in which the ensloppification is everywhere, Bitwarden makes some licensing changes, LibreOffice breaks download records, and more !
The #synthstromDeluge has an unfounded bad rap for "its deluge sound". This is a common mistake spawned by the default kts and presets that used to come with the original SD card content.
Nothing could be further from the truth. While not massively powerful and somewhat limited in comparson to dedicated hardware for each type of synthesis and effects, the Deluge has multiple type of synthesis (add, sub, wt, fm, ring) and effects (delay, reverb, chorus, warble, etc..). Not to mention the powerful sampling.
YOU can make it sound however YOU like! Make of it what you want.
YOUR SOUND IS THE DELUGE SOUND.
Thanks to the amazing #delugeCommunity the Deluge is constantly improving with its #opensource firmware. The v1.3 release (codenamed Derbyshire after #deliaderbyshire) is imminent!
Okay, the discussions lately have convinced me that my thinking is a bit off.
On the one hand, rejecting Fedora Linux because it’s now owned by IBM via Red Hat - which is a U.S. Big Tech company -and on the other hand, installing Windows on a computer for that very reason... the anger over Trump and the omnipotence of U.S. tech companies (and Trump’s political abuse of them) really does make my brain short-circuit sometimes... So moving forward: less hyperventilating, more fresh air into the brain.
At the end of the day, it’s still a thousand times better to go with Fedora than with Microsoft. That’s why I’ll be using Fedora again - also because, with version 45, my 5G modem finally works in my ThinkPad, something that hadn’t worked on any Linux distribution before. And as a dual-boot system on my NUC 16 PRO, where Fedora is also the only Linux distribution that runs without any issues.
The other two mini-PCs will stick with Debian Testing, which works wonderfully on them given their age.
And then there’s also my ThinkPad P51 running FreeBSD.
If you've lost track of which system I'm currently using on which computer, you can check my website for details.
Even during my time away from Fedora, I always believed that Fedora is by far simply the best Linux distribution. No other distribution is quite as trouble-free and advanced - the perfect mix of up-to-date features and stability.
As a Red Hat Linux user since 1997 and then on board since Fedora Core 1, I regretted - from a technical standpoint - having to switch to another, non-U.S.-based system for political reasons.

🧙♂️ Going on an adventure: booting Windows from a ZFS root 💾
Windows 10 booting to a desktop with its C: drive on a ZFS pool, on OpenZFS on Windows. It's a proof of concept (very much held together with duct tape 🩹), so it's not ready for public use. This is the story of the crashes along the way and how it finally came up. Made for the OpenZFS Developer Summit 2026.

Buongiorno ,
Ho pubblicato in pre-release questo tool per l' installazione di driver USB.
Normalmente usavo Zadig.
Questo lavoro nasce dall' esigenza di avere un tool simile ma a linea di comando in modo da poterlo integrare.
La GUI è stata aggiunta per completezza.
Spero possa essere utile per la community

svg-sanitize rebuilds untrusted SVG as static vector graphics only. It does not simply search and replace script tags. It parses XML with defusedxml, checks resource limits, and constructs an entirely new XML tree from a small, explicit allowlist of elements, attributes, and valid values.
Thanks to @wachizungu for the initial idea at the @hack_lu hackathon and also @therealsaumil to trigger me again about SVG at the 20th edition hack.lu ;-)
It's a prototype and maybe utterly broken.

kept working on the resistor tool. Now you give it an input voltage and an output voltage and it prints all the possible resistors combinations that you could have with the precision and their consumption.
It does it with a list of all the availabe (at this time) resistors i could find on LCSC. So every combinations **should** be somewhat realistic.
It is slow as hell, and kind of useless... but i like it... it has some 90' vibe i enjoy.
i am starting to like the tcl/tk language!

🥱 Microsoft has announced “digital sovereignty”. Again.
Every time, it’s new terms that mean little when a foreign government can still demand your data or cut off your services.
The stack, licensing, updates and rules stay under Microsoft’s control, not yours. That’s sovereignty-washing.

HOW TO KILL META!
=================
The legal math on media is broken. The punitive measures are not effective deterrents against Meta's abusive behavior.
Meta does harmful things, apologizes, pays a pittance, and still comes out ahead financially.
Zuckerberg sold out his users data to Cambridge Analytica, and influenced the US election. Then he appeared before Congress like a contrite little schoolboy - "Oops! I didn't mean to accidentally cut multibillion dollar deals and sell out Facebook users. Honest mistake. I promise not to do it again ( unless the price is right! )"
Because of the math, he still came out ahead.
I left Meta's platforms a long time ago.
People who are not savvy, are locked into the Facebook walled garden, because of the Network Effect. ( "I can't leave Facebook. All my friends are on Facebook!" )
Having liberated ourselves, it is our duty to liberate others, who are still trapped, to give them their right to privacy.
Here's a plan of action:
1) Place ads on Facebook, explaining the benefits of the #Fediverse
( https://Fediverse.info/ )
1.1) Freedom from Meta's censorship and algorithms.
1.2) A community owned, open social media platform.
1.3) Based on Free Software, auditable by all.
2) When a user clicks, guide them through exporting their data from Facebook, and deleting their Facebook account.
3) Give them an optional questionnaire, asking about their interests, and match them with the right #Mastodon instance.
4) If they skip the optional questionnaire, pick a semi random Mastodon instance for them.
5) Give them an option to enter into a Facebook migration registry.
6) Help them set up a Mastodon account and import their data.
7) If they opted into the migrant registry, reconnect them with their former Facebook connections, who also joined the registry. Like a reunion in Heaven with your loved ones. ☺️
Migration Details:
===============
1. Set up a website to facilitate the exodus out of Facebook/Twitter.
For example:
Facebook2Fedi.org / Twitter2Fedi.org
2. The websites can be publicized through word of mouth, or any number of other means, not just through ads on Facebook / Twitter / X
3. It's a week's worth of work for an experienced programmer. So the requirements break down as:
3.1 A programmer's pay for 1 week ( or volunteer hackers ).
3.2 Two internet domains.
3.3 managed web hosting costs for 1 year.
3.4 customer support hotline number.
A lot of these costs can probably be covered by existing Free Software projects, which may offer free hosting. We might find enough Fediverse volunteers to operate the hotlines.
Technical Details:
===============
1) The User clicks on a link to go to FB2Fedi.org ( working title )
2) The website guides them on how to get FB to release their data to them.
3) The user jumps through the FB hoops, and downloads an archive of their FB data. This might take a day or two.
4) The website ( FB2Fedi.org ) guides them through setting up a Fediverse account.
5) The website optionally helps them upload their contacts file to the registry hosted by the site ( infosec details to be hashed out ).
6) The website helps them upload their posts and photos etc to their Fediverse account. This might require some parsing scripts, for ETL ( Extract, Transform & Load ).
7) The user's data pretty much stays in their control. Their social network is mostly the data a user entrusts the migration registry with.
Using some cryptography primitives, it might be possible to limit this exposure, and mitigate the risk.

HOW TO KILL META!
=================
[Part 2/2]
That's it, in a nutshell. Some details need to be worked out, and that's why I am seeking your help.
A Free Software project might be able to provide the compute resources to host the site.
As for the culture shock of transitioning from FB ( where an evil billionaires algorithm holds your hand, and censors...ahem...curates your feed ) I am not too worried. People will adapt, to yet another new thing.
Maybe we should start new users with a relatively private Fediverse setting, so that only their network can reply to their posts. Rawdogging voices from the whole Internet, without a billionaire's insular algorithm, can be a bit harsh. We will never hear the end of complaints about that bogeyman of the Fediverse — the "reply guy".
"On FB, I didn't get replies from people I didn't know!!!"

Android Auto without Google Play Services: an open-source alternative worth watching.
AARE is an open-source project aiming to reimplement the smartphone side of Android Auto, allowing apps to appear on your car’s display without relying on Google’s official solution.
Here’s what it offers:
🔹 Navigation with apps like CoMaps and Organic Maps
🔹 Music, podcasts and radio, including support for Navidrome
🔹 Messaging: Signal, WhatsApp and SMS, with message readout and replies while stopped
🔹 An alternative voice assistant
🔹 USB or wireless connectivity
The goal is to give users more freedom in their choice of apps while reducing their dependence on Google’s ecosystem.
One caveat: the project is still at an early stage of development. Compatibility and real-world performance in a car remain to be verified.

The Signal Protocol in Rust
TL;DR: I have open-sourced a #Rust implementation of the #SignalProtocol that compiles to #WASM for #Browser-based #P2P messaging, overcoming the #Nodejs limitations of the official library.
I am sharing my implementation of the Signal Protocol designed specifically for the #Frontend. While the official libsignal is the gold standard, its #JavaScript targets are often optimized for Node.js, which creates integration challenges for client-side web applications.
My version is built in #RustLang and compiles to #WebAssembly, utilizing #ModuleFederation to provide robust #Encryption for decentralized environments. It currently powers the end-to-end security for my series of #P2P messaging projects.
Protocol Demo:
https://signal.positive-intentions.com/
P2P Messaging roadmap:
https://glitr.io/docs/technical/roadmap
I am looking for feedback from the #Dev and #Infosec community. If you have experience with #Cryptography audits or formal-proof verification, I would appreciate your eyes on the codebase as I work toward a more finished state.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-71438 - Out-of-Bounds Read in GPAC/MP4Box
Processing a crafted AC-4 stream with an invalid `frame_rate_index` triggers an out-of-bounds read in `gf_odf_ac4_cfg_dsi_v1`, causing MP4Box to crash.
Summary:
The `gf_odf_ac4_cfg_dsi_v1` function in `odf/descriptors.c` uses a stream-supplied `frame_rate_index` to index into fixed-size lookup tables (`AC4_SAMPLE_DELTA_TABLE_48`, `AC4_MEDIA_TIMESCALE_48`). The function does not validate that the index is within bounds before performing the table lookup. A crafted AC-4 file carrying an out-of-range index (e.g., 15) causes an out-of-bounds read, ultimately resulting in a NULL dereference and process crash.
CWE:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds Read
Affected Component:
```
odf/descriptors.c:2179
Function: gf_odf_ac4_cfg_dsi_v1()
```
Affected Product:
MP4Box (GPAC Multimedia Open Source Project)
Affected Version:
2.5-DEV-rev1617-g856674b22-master; commit `856674b226d6cbe28a941ad223be38194cbf7d37`. Any codebase equivalent to this commit that has not applied the fix commit is affected.
Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a specially crafted AC-4 stream file containing an invalid `frame_rate_index` value. Local access is required; the victim must invoke `MP4Box -dash 100 <crafted_file>` or any equivalent DASH segmentation command that triggers the AC-4 configuration descriptor parsing path.
Impact:
The out-of-bounds read leads to an immediate process crash (SEGV READ at address 0x000000000000), resulting in Denial of Service. No evidence of arbitrary code execution was observed.
Fix / mitigation status:
The issue was fixed in GPAC commit:
```
13eb5b76560aaf7813b865a2ad433258478e2695
```
Users should update to a GPAC build containing this commit or later.

Guten Morgen
CachyOS Settings ist kein Fenster und kein Programm zum Anklicken. Der Name führt in die Irre. Es ist eine Sammlung von Voreinstellungen, die bei der Installation mitkommt und beim Hochfahren greift. Sie liegen verteilt unter /usr/lib und /etc, im Alltag bekommst du sie fast nie zu sehen.
Ein großer Teil betrifft den Arbeitsspeicher. CachyOS legt einen komprimierten Auslagerungsbereich im RAM an, ungefähr so groß wie der verbaute Speicher. Wird es eng, packt der Kernel die Daten mit zstd zusammen, statt sie sofort auf die Festplatte zu schreiben. Dieser Bereich wird vor einer Partition auf der Platte genutzt. Dazu kommen eine hohe Neigung, ihn früh zu füllen, und Werte für den Dateicache und das Zurückschreiben auf das Laufwerk. Auf schwachen Geräten fällt das stärker auf als auf großen.
Auch bei den Startzeiten wird nachgeholfen. Dienste bekommen kürzere Fristen, damit ein hängender Prozess nicht minutenlang blockiert. Das Systemprotokoll darf höchstens 50 MB groß werden, Absturzabbilder verschwinden nach drei Tagen, und die Zahl gleichzeitig offener Dateien wird angehoben. So sammelt sich über Monate kein Ballast an.
Dann sind da noch viele kleine Regeln für den Alltag. Eine Prioritätshilfe gibt Anwendungen je nach Aufgabe eine passende Priorität, udev wählt passend zum Laufwerkstyp eine Warteschlange für das Lesen und Schreiben, die Audioenergiesparfunktion bleibt am Netzteil aus, damit der Ton nicht knackt, und die Zeit synchronisiert sich über Cloudflare. Dazu kommen Vorgaben für Touchpad, DNS, WLAN und Grafiktreiber.
Der Gedanke dahinter ist ein Rechner, der nach der Installation ohne Nacharbeit läuft, auch für Spiele und Multimedia. Zaubern kann das nicht, es sind viele einzelne Entscheidungen, die dir jemand vorher abgenommen hat. Ändern kannst du sie trotzdem, am besten mit eigenen Dateien unter /etc, damit ein Update die Anpassung nicht überschreibt.
Welche Grundeinstellung hat dich bei deiner Distribution schon einmal überrascht?

The PHP Foundation says first signs of the flaw behind CVE-2026-109618 appeared in 2024, and the fix then stalled for months: "a structural failure." PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 and 8.2.35 fix it and CVE-2026-109619, both unauthenticated RCE (CVSS 9.2). It says Chainguard broke the embargo 6+ hours early; Chainguard's CEO told The Register he shipped because vendors reported exploitation. AWS saw a honeypot attempt on Oct 17.
