GitHub Continuous Integration checks queued.

Hopefully they will run without issue?

If so, it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

This isn't very significant from the last PR I submitted from late October 2025 (upstream has a commit from early September 2025 so I am trailing by many months with this one) however, remarkable to me:

MacPorts' signify's version is now in alignment with upstream's versioning!

Yay!

I have no idea if that was true previously? My guess is: no, since I think jpouellet/Jean-Philippe Ouellet branched that out a long time ago and seemed to have iterated version tags haphazardly? Maybe I am mistaken though! There's a completely different Linuxism fork of signify which seems to have evolved (and versioned) very differently too.

That in particular has confused me with spurious repology.org out of date error messages for many months. I dunno if it has confused others, or if this version sync will make things less confusing, but hopefully? It makes things less confusing for me at least.

In tangential news, since I saw tedu in the man page, someone was wondering where he got off to a while ago and I don't think I saw a response. Hopefully he's doin OK? Please?

Ein strategischer Schachzug des Chip-Riesen zur Einflussnahme auf die offene Grafikinfrastruktur

#linux #opensource #bot #esa #rce

Spenden und Mitarbeit in Open-Source-Projekten sind nicht nur „wichtig“, sie sind existenzielle Notwendigkeiten für das digitale Ökosystem, von dem wir alle abhängen.

Punkt 2. Die Tragik der Allmende im Open‑Source‑Ökosystem!

Open Source folgt dem Prinzip der Allmende, alle dürfen es nutzen, niemand wird ausgeschlossen. Doch genau darin liegt das Problem. Je mehr Menschen und Unternehmen profitieren, desto weniger fühlen sich verantwortlich, etwas zurückzugeben.

Die Folge ist ein klassisches Ungleichgewicht, wenige Maintainer/innen tragen die Hauptlast, während viele kostenlos profitieren. Ohne ausreichende Unterstützung wird gemeinsame digitale Infrastruktur übernutzt, und langfristig geschwächt.

Spenden und Beiträge sind der Schlüssel, um diese Tragik zu überwinden und Open Source dauerhaft am Leben zu erhalten.

Wir zerstören gerade Open Source. AI-Bots fluten Issue-Tracker mit halluzinierten Bug-Reports und verbrennen die Zeit von Maintainern. Scraper treiben die Serverkosten von Projekten wie OpenStreetMap in die Höhe, ohne etwas zurückzugeben. Und Doku-basierte Geschäftsmodelle (wie bei Tailwind) brechen weg.

KI ist hochkapitalistisch, Open Source ist Solidarität.

Spenden und Mitarbeit in Open-Source-Projekten sind nicht nur „wichtig“, sie sind existenzielle Notwendigkeiten für das digitale Ökosystem, von dem wir alle abhängen.

Punkt 1. Open Source ist die unsichtbare Infrastruktur der digitalen Welt.

Fast alles, was online funktioniert, läuft auf Open-Source-Software, von Webservern (Apache, Nginx, Caddy) über Programmiersprachen (Python, JavaScript) bis zu Betriebssystemem wie (Linux). Diese Infrastruktur wird oft als „Gemeingut“ betrachtet, aber sie erhält sich nicht von selbst. Ohne Ressourcen verfällt sie, Sicherheitslücken bleiben offen, Projekte stagnieren, Entwickler/innen verschwinden.

I've just installed Cairo Dock in my SBC Raspberry Pi5, using pi-packages the Add/Remove software utility.

What a mess I created.

Cairo Dock could not work properly. The gfx output indicated that it rendered in a manner that Wayland does not like. I then proceded with sudo apt install cairo-doc from bash, after removal in pi-packages.
All dependecies were easily installed, but the rendering of my beloved Cairo dock still failed, making it still unusuable, in Wayland on the Pi5 SBC with 8GiB RAM

I will investigate, but for now I can't get the gorgeous Cairo dock to easily work on Wayland on the SBC Raspberry Pi5

One of the most difficult skills to develop as a long-term open source contributor is knowing when to step back and trust your colleagues.

At @fosdem this past weekend, watching fellow WordPress Core Committer Dennis Snell present on WordPress' HTML API work drove this home for me. His thoughtful research and care for users reminded me that our role as senior contributors isn't to weigh in on everything. It's to create space for others to lead and grow. #opensource

RE: https://mastodon.social/@itsfoss/116018939437877311

Is it just me, or has "It's FOSS" lost their way on the "FOSS" part?

I find it incredibly frustrating for FOSS resources normalizing the use of proprietary tools like Vivaldi and Chrome.

Looking at their recent "Better Linux User" graphic and half of the named options are proprietary (Chrome, Vivaldi). It feels like the brand is becoming a superficial site for Linux-lite rather than a resource for software freedom.

This is not the first time they have done this. Actually, they regularly post articles promoting proprietary tools. Here are a few I found just doing a quick search:

How to Install Opera Browser on Ubuntu: https://itsfoss.com/install-opera-ubuntu/

WPS Office: https://itsfoss.com/wps-office-linux

SoftMaker Office: https://itsfoss.com/softmaker-office/

InSync (Proprietary Google Drive client): https://itsfoss.com/insync-linux-review

How to Install Slack on Ubuntu: https://itsfoss.com/slack-use-linux/

How to Install Microsoft Edge Browser: https://itsfoss.com/microsoft-edge-linux/

They also promote the use of AI tools, like in these articles, which should have no home on the Fediverse:

Generate Linux Commands from English Text Using ChatGPT AI: https://itsfoss.com/linux-terminal-ai/

5 Open-source Local AI Tools for Image Generation: https://itsfoss.com/local-ai-image-tools

Also, that penguin art looks suspiciously like AI generation (I understand, I could be wrong about this). If you look at their recent social media and featured images, I think you can see the shift from human made graphics to AI-generated images with typical artifacts.

It is disappointing to see such a popular presence on the Fediverse prioritize clicks over principles.

Hey, ich bin @InaiMathi, he/him, 3x, aus #Köln, #NRW - und #neuhier! 🙃

Nachdem ich schon länger mit einem Wechsel ins #Fediverse geliebäugelt hatte, habe ich nun, da sich die Ereignisse "drüben" überschlagen, endlich die Reißleine gezogen und bin in die digitale Mammutherde migriert.

Worüber ich gern schreibe: #Gaming, #Effzeh, #Culture, #Tech, #Linux, #OpenSource.

Bin gespannt, wie die Community hier so ausschaut und freue mich auf einen spannenden Austausch mit euch allen! 😀

I've been doing some initial testing with @radicle ... https://radicle.xyz/

First thoughts ...

• it's an interesting idea, and I really like the concept.
• It's a lot of new concepts I need to get used to, learn a lot of new terminology
• I need to learn stop comparing more directly against how things works in Codeberg/GitLab/GitHub
• it's pretty fast after all
• Searching for existing projects on radicle seems to be an impossible task or based on pure luck. The rad:z3g..... strings identifying (needed for rad clone) are even worse to remember than IPv6 addresses. I'm missing a "DNS" equivalent for looking up those RID values.
• There seems to be more URLs out there pointing at documentation for various versions. Several of them are completely outdated and examples no longer work. In other words: Confusing documentation for newcomers.

I have so much to learn, and need to sit down and read the docs way more carefully. Just need to find the right ones.

Stell dir eine digitale Welt vor, die offen, sicher und fair für alle ist, geschaffen von Menschen, die an Freiheit glauben. Genau das ist freie Software. Sie steckt in deinem Browser, in deinem Handy, in den Systemen, die unsere Kommunikation und Infrastruktur am Laufen halten.

Doch dieses Fundament unserer digitalen Welt ist zerbrechlich. Hinter jedem Projekt stehen echte Menschen, Entwicklerinnen und Entwickler, Übersetzerinnen und Übersetzer, Dokumentationsheldinnen und Helden. Sie alle schenken uns ihre Zeit, ihre Kreativität und ihre Leidenschaft. Sie halten den Traum einer unabhängigen, demokratischen Digitalwelt am Leben.

Aber Leidenschaft allein schreibt keinen Code, bezahlt keine Server. Open Source braucht mehr als guten Willen, es braucht uns. Unsere Unterstützung, unsere Tatkraft, unsere Entscheidung.

Jede Spende zählt, ob klein oder groß. Sie verwandelt Ideen in Code, in Sicherheitsupdates, in Zukunft. Jede Stunde Einsatz hilft dabei, Projekte zu übersetzen, zu dokumentieren, zu testen oder Fehler zu melden. Und jedes Mal, wenn du dich bewusst für Open Source entscheidest, stärkst du die Gemeinschaft und gibst ihr Gewicht.

Freie Software lebt von uns allen. Sie ist kein Selbstläufer, sondern ein Gemeinschaftswerk voller Herzblut.

Lass uns zusammenstehen, für Offenheit, für digitale Souveränität, für die Zukunft. Gemeinsam machen wir freie Software stark.

Do any moots know someone who we might be able to consult about restructuring a mid-size FOSS project? Essentially to migrate from a BDFL model to a more flat-structured democratic organisation.

We are discussing how to restructure #postmarketOS so that it can continue to scale up and be a truly community-run project.

We have some idea of how co-ops like Igalia do this, but we have a lot of differences (like being largely volunteer run and having very different goals) which leave us with a lot of unknowns.

To give an example of the kind of structure we're thinking of (by no means final, there hasn't been any broad agreement on a new structure yet):

We have the relevant pieces in place to form an assembly (everyone listed on https://postmarketos.org/team/ ) which could then democratically form teams and delegate responsibilities to them (e.g. finance/budget, technical policy-making, maintainers for various OS components).

The assembly would then also be responsible for deciding on focus areas and long term goals for the project (e.g. improving reliability, building a production-ready immutable version of the distro)

We could then form working groups to enable cross-team collaboration to move towards our specific goals.

Currently we lack a lot of understanding of the potential implications of something like this, how we can ensure the project doesn't get hijacked, that we don't drift too far from our mission statement, etc etc...

If you have a background in sociology and/or relevant experience from other projects then I would love to reach out and be able to discuss this in more detail!

Quote from Hammer2 page

Because HAMMER2 is a block copy-on-write filesystem, the "atime" field is not supported and will typically just reflect local system in-memory caches or mtime.

The radix tree is dynamic in that each entry can dynamically control how many bits it chops off. This allows small files to be contained in just one or two levels regardless of the block seek positions. The depth of the radix tree is increased as needed via a splitting mechanism, and will also be recombined if it grows smaller. All block references are 64-bit aligned-byte-indexed references and thus portable regardless of physical sector size changes between underlying block devices.

Inodes are 1KB of which 512 bytes are used for the top-level radix tree OR 512 bytes of data. Any file less than or equal to 512 bytes stores its data directly in the inode. Files up to 256KB can be accommodated with direct inode block references.

Directory entries are hashed (semi-sorted hash algorithm), and directly embedded in the radix table's blockref structure for maximum performance. Files with very long filenames will contain a dataref, otherwise filenames are embedded in the directory entry itself. Because directory entries are hashed, seeking and lookups are able to use a radix search and no linear scan of the directory is needed.

The inode and directory entry structure is extremely well suited for any file size or directory size, from tiny to huge.

Because of the block-copy-on-write nature of the filesystem, the filesystem is able to create a snapshot trivially simply by copying the volume header's root block table (4 blockref entries). The directory topology actually starts with a SUPERROOT, and volume ROOTs are directory entries under the SUPERROOT. Though the entries are actually special-cased a bit and actually part of the root inode for each filesystem root. And since physical freeing of space is handled via a bulk meta-data scan, destroying a snapshot or volume can be done simply by wiping the inode and ignoring everything under it... the next bulkfree scan will reclaim any reclaimable space. Similarly with file deletions... the top-level data blockrefs can simply be removed. The inode can simply be removed from the radix tree.

Performance is very good. HAMMER2 uses a variable-sized block in powers of two, starting at 1KB, up to 64KB, for the last block of the file (straddling EOF). All earlier blocks in the file, if any, use 64KB blocks. The freemap is organized by domain to cluster various meta-data types together. Indirect blocks can be one of two sizes: 16KB or 64KB, allowing medium-sized files and directories to be optimally allocated. In addition, file data compression of a logical block can result in a smaller physical block. The physical layer always does 64KB I/O and can cluster the I/O on top of that.

DSpico Flash Cartridge by LHN Team, modified to use a USB-C type port.

Hello! I currently maintain a small/medium-small open source project. I know I have some active users. It’s been fun, but I no longer feel like I can properly maintain it. I’ve been considering two options: archive the project or transfer the ownership to someone else.

Does anyone have any experience doing either of these things?

Transferring the project to someone else who would actively maintain the project seems like a good option. However, what would that process look like? How do I vet or trust random people on the internet? What if I transfer it to someone and then they add a bitcoin miner a year later?

Have you recently noticed increased #Mozilla work on #firefox ? From small things like finally supporting .mkv files playing, through better linux support (things related to GPU support, XDG dir spec), AI stuff, AI stuff kill switch for anti-AI fetishists, to new GUI on Android.... Probably more.

Or is it just me?

I've read your responses to my toot twice. Thank you 💕 for reacting.

IMHO your though process does not justify the hate you've got for localsend.

Your hate towards, the for you unknown program, localsend is **unfounded*"

Cherish the fact that there is choice and diversity in OpenSource programming.

Stable release versions for synchronizing files exist since the 1970s, not the 1990s. You've clearly not been around long enough to realize that fact **

Ever since plain simple sh existed, such programs were coded. One such program was coded more than fifty years ago and is still in active use.

Please be so kind to use wisdom and intelligence when you react and respond to toots. You acted like a typical snobbish Linux user. Reactions like yours don't contribute anything positive, no one learns from toots like the ones you posted in this thread.

I've never had such responses from the people in the BSD range of Operating Systems.

Even here on the FediVerse the diverse responses from Linux only users and programmers were not of such nature and low caliber.

I'm surprised, yet paradoxically expected your motivational chain.

** If you have been around long enough, to know open source code from the 1970s, look in the mirror and ask yourself why you have reacted in such a manner .

I will still wish you a good day / night, wherever you may reside.

Website for Cairo Dock

https://www.glx-dock.org/

#KDE #Gnome #Cairo #library #Xfce4 #airdrop #localsend #kdeconnect #ftp #Linux #ARM #SBC #programming #opensource #technology

In extension of what I said here I want to expand on the joy I have with Cairo Dock coded by the GNOME team **

When you first spawn Cairo Dock it greets you with a friendly requester, asking if you want OpenGL or standard
FX created by your fully personizable Cairo Dock.

The dock defaults with a exeptionally usuable configuration out of the box. The first thing I did was seek how to spawn it from the keyboard. I only use Xorg for gfx output, of my code / programs; Im a sh warrior.

It was as straight forward as it can be
* open up the requester with right mouse
* click Cairo Doc
* choose configure
* tab on configuration
* click short keys

Every configuration tab has a logical layout and this is still in easy mode, just like VideoLan VLC has. You can later play in advanced mode and go super deep into finetuning your Cairo dock. It evan has _backgrounds_ to be confiured, if you choose to.
Cairo dock also defaults to fading out when a program of yours overlaps it, so it's out of the way, without you needing to manually hide it.

I configured a weather addon which uses https://Open-meteo.com I only needed to tell it the longtitude and lattitude of the districts I wanted in SR/SA and was done

Cairo Dock is a real fun dock to play with. Super configurable and customizable. I use it along side my XFCe4 panel and they peacefully co exist. I did much more but now want to move onto another subject

** Note:
Cairo-Dock was spawned in July 2007, when Fabounet proposed a first version on the ubuntu-fr.org forum.

This means Cairo dock has its own independent programming team. So I hereby correct myself

BTW: I entered this toot in a standardnotes window since the web viewport is too small and the android sucks at getting fast input. Nothing beats a physical keyboard

You can also go to localsend!

#airdrop #localsend #kdeconnect #ftp #Linux #ARM #SBC #programming #opensource #technology

I should note that you can not make the mistake of comparing KDEconnect extended capabilities with those of localsend.

They operate on totally different realms.

KDEconnect has a set of plugins which work like functional libraries. There so many that I will have to include a screenshot, just to give you a sample of what KDEconnect can actually do.

Local follows The Unix Principle; it does One thing in a does it very well.

In case you've gotten curious; you can install KDEconnect with its accompanying libraries on another working environment apart from KDE. You do not need to run a full KDE Desktop Environment.

Over here I run KDEconnect on machines which have Xfce4 running, while it's counterpart runs on a couple of Androids.
KDEconnect also runs on Ancient Android Operating Systems

The programming team of KDE does not care where you run it's wonderful software as long as you can enjoy it.

The same goes for The GNOME programming team. I run Cairo Dock and GPartED also on Xfce4. In fact I run many Gnome libraries in Xfce4 to have crucial functionality in many parts of the Xfce4 Desktop Environment. Without those wonderful libraries I would run a crippled version of Xfce4.

I will include screenshots from a desktop computer where I will show you that I run both GNOME software and KDE software in Xfce4 DE

Last weekend, I attended FOSDEM, the largest Open Source conference in Europe. The last time that I attended was exactly a decade ago, and I had forgotten what it was really about.

But this became instantly obvious when (nearly) the first slide during the Opening Remarks shouted loudly: "Open Source has always been political". The emotional introduction instantly brought home what Open Source is really about: Activism to break the chains of "big tech". Although big tech wasn't so big when they started the conference over 25 years ago, it is now more required than ever.

As I remembered that it can be really hard to get into the rooms where talks are held — FOSDEM can be really busy — I had made a plan to divide my two days up in roughly four blocks to follow talks in the same room. I also made sure I showed up a talk (or two before), to have a better chance of having a seat in the talks I wanted to attend.

I spend most of Saturday following talks in the Geospatial and Legal & Policy tracks. Although Geospatial, mostly through OpenStreetMap, is my fun open data involvement, the Legal & Policy tracks were good to see.

In From Policy To Practice; Open Source in The Dutch Government, I learned from Gina Plat how the (old and new) Dutch governments are now pushing ahead with Open Source. With the more volatile situation in the USA, where constant threats of tariffs and other economic measure, they seem to now have understood, that it is vital to build up their own stacks. Although there have been policy and plans before, there is now also funding available to reduce the liability on US big tech stacks and software. It's not perfect, but there is certainly progress.

After more geo fun in the afternoon, I attended Neil Brown's "Online Safety" laws: reflections for FOSS projects (video). Although I am familiar with the topic, and have written about this before to my MP, it was good to see Neil explain how this affects open source projects specifically. The main take-away here was that although you can follow the law(s) to the latter, it is likely going to be more important to check what risk there actually is for users, and for the project itself, when the regulator comes knocking on the door.

Talks on regulations, mostly in the EU form, is what my piqued my interest next, and I spend most of my Sunday morning in the Open Source & EU Policy track.

I arrived early enough to catch the Digital Omnibus: is the EU's tech simplification a Risk or Opportunity from Open Source. How EU Policy is created is often complicated. This talk critically explored the challenges that policymakers have to make the regulatory burden on EU projects and products lighter. At the same time, regulation should not get in the way of innovation and competitiveness, but also not be so light that the general protections towards user privacy and control are watered down too far.

I was mainly aiming to see "The Fediverse and the EU's Digital Service Act". Jordan Maris moderated this panel discussion, with Sandra Barthel, Alexandra Geese (MEP for the Greens/EFA group), and Felix Hlatky (executive director of Mastodon GmbH), answering questions. The whole discussion was interesting, my main takeaways were the explanations by Alexandra on the DSA.

The provisions under the DSA are frequently derided by the American tech bros and their government allies as "censorship". Alexandra eloquently argued that the provisions in the DSA are explicitly meant to do the opposite. The DSA requires large operators to explain what their algorithms do, and how they work, to (try to) prevent the doom-spiral towards hate speech and othering. These algorithms have been designed to keep users engaged so that they see more advertisements. And the best way to keep users on your platform is to make them feel angry about something — usually vulnerable groups of people.

While listening to the panel, the though occurred to me that the approach by the EU is very different from the approach across the ocean. Where there the mentality is "work fast and break things", with no regulation to protect people's rights succinctly, in the EU the approach is strong regulation to prevent harm.

But that does require that the provisions are properly enforced, with enough resources, and sometimes with enough political will to not kowtow to the Americans with their tantrums. I suspect that we will see more of these tantrums in a short while, now that the EU is more keen to show its fangs as well.

On this side of the pond all is not well either. The UK's Online Safety Act is already a sad state of affairs, especially now there are rumours that they are considering banning age gating VPNs as well. But Age Verification as a measure to "save the children" is popping up in many jurisdictions. Age Verification and Assurance are antithetical to the open nature of the Web and free expression, and will not work regardless.

Where the focus now mainly is on websites themselves, there is a distinct possibility that regulators will want to enforce age on service level (app stores/package managers), on browser level, and on operating system level. These all conflict with open source variants (F-droid, Firefox, Linux), unless you withdraw the freedom that users have on what to run on their devices.

Nobody has any idea how a wide roll-out of Age Verification and Assurance will work out. It's like going straight to a release without beta testing. Preventing the broadening of Age Verification and Assurance is where the next fight for the open web and freedom of expression now must be.

We don't have the luxury of sitting on our hands, and as the opening slides of FOSDEM indicated that "Open Source has always been political", the closing remarks were equally pungent: We can't afford to not be politically active, and that's why we must engage with politicians. FOSDEM has fanned the flames in me for doing more again. Stay tuned!

And remember: "If we lose our democracies, Open Source is irrelevant and goes away".

Ich freu‘ mich wirklich über jede Reaktion, die über das Fediverse in diesen Blog zurückfließt. Dafür habe ich ihn ja gebaut und deshalb schreibe ich (fast) jeden Tag. Aber all die „Favoriten“ und „Reposts“ sind nur Signale – die kann jede:r so interpretieren, wie es gerade genehm ist. Kommentare dagegen, sprechen für sich selbst. Deshalb bedeuten sie mir am meisten. Aber damit hört es ja noch lange nicht auf… Vor einigen Wochen hat dieser Blog schon wieder mal die Grenzen des Mediums (wenn ich das Fediverse mal für den Moment als solches bezeichnen darf?) überwunden. Und meine Freude darüber ist grenzenlos. (Blog)

Da hat er wohl recht, der @TheMorpheus Linux und die gesamte Open-Source-Bewegung haben in den vergangenen Jahren einen Breakpoint erreicht. Spätestens mit Ollama und Deepseek ist es endgültig und unbestreitbar die absolute Hochtechnologie in allen Bereichen, was Software betrifft. Es ist auch für Unternehmen und Forschungseinrichtungen oder allgemein gesellschaftliche Player keine Frage mehr, ob man das lustige Anarcho-Nerd-Projekt unterstützt, sondern man muss es nutzen, will man irgendwie konkurrenzfähig bleiben. Selbst die deutschen Beamten fahren ihre Ochsenkarren bald mit Linux auch wenn man es ihnen nicht sagen wird, damit sie nicht aufwachen (die Geschichte lehrt uns, dass ein aufgewachter deutscher Beamter eine echte Gefahr für die umliegenden Gemeinden darstellt).

Konnte man als interessierter Freund der Bewegung vor 10 Jahren noch gut informiert sein, welche Projekte gerade am Start sind, ist das heute unmöglich. FOSS ist in alle Bereiche vorgedrungen und die Superschurken haben es nicht gemerkt. So super können die dann nicht sein. Wir haben die Macht übernommen, weil es eine ganz andere Macht ist als die klassischen Machtverhältnisse, die immer zentralisiert sind und waren. Man kann eine demokratische Welt bilden, ohne König, ohne Parlamente, ohne Plenum, und trotzdem oder gerade deswegen auf die einzelnen individuellen Dinge eingehen, auch wenn sie sich widersprechen sollten. Das ist eine vollkommen neue Art, die Welt zu betrachten, und wir sind dabei. Žižek hat vor der Umnachtung immer gesagt „Es kommt darauf an, ihnen die Eier abzuschneiden.“ Und irgendwann schauen sie an sich herunter und fragen sich, wo ihre Eier sind. Und obwohl es schon zu spät ist, haben sie ihre Kastrierung noch nicht mal bemerkt und zombien herum..

Unfortunately #OpenSource is #US controlled anyway.

We can hope to sneak some patch in, as with #xzutils, but there's no way to make #Chromium or #Android development "sovereign".
Try hard fork them.

Same for "open standards": what if a standard (#QUIC?) only serves the need of US #BigTech #hyperscalers and surveillance (0-RTT?)

Then sure, while getting rid of US Tech it would be wise to get rid of proprietary software too.

But #DigitalSovereignty is about breaking free of an evil empire.

Just a gentle reminder that #Chromium, #Android, #Kubernetes and even Microsoft #DotNet are distributed under #OpenSource licenses.

Good luck at turing their evolution to an "international cooperation".

Unless #NATO is your model of such "cooperation", btw.
