Ich habe mir selbst ein super Geschenk gemacht: Einen Presenter!

Der Logitech R500s hat einen eigenen USB-Empfänger. Den habe ich ins Ubuntu-Laptop gesteckt und sofort hat es funktioniert.

Das Ding kann aber auch Bluetooth-Low-Energy. Wenn man es in den Paring-Modus versetzt, findet Ubuntu den R500s nach ein paar Sekunden und auch hier hat das Hin- und Herklicken in einer Text-PDF und einer Impress-Präsentation haben sofort funktioniert.

Aber vor allem: die Katze findet den eingebauten Laserpointer seeehr unterhaltsam!

De BIT-cultuur

Wij zijn geen trendvolgers. Integendeel, wij lopen vaak voorop met de technologie die we gebruiken. En als het nodig is, dan maken we die technologie zelf. Deze insteek heeft al geleid tot een aantal heel succesvolle producten.

Met een relatief klein, maar ontzettend hecht team staan we iedere dag weer klaar om onze gezamenlijke passie voor internet te delen, met elkaar én met onze klanten. Er heerst een open, innovatieve en collegiale werksfeer die leidt tot doelgerichte oplossingen en tevreden klanten.

Ich überlege mir einen E-Scooter zu kaufen.
Laut unterschiedlicher Bewertungen steht Segway ganz gut da, doch wie sieht es mit der Software aus?
Anscheinend kann man diese Scooter auch ohne Smartphone verwenden, doch um Updates zu machen etc. ist es zu empfehlen. Ich nutze GrapheneOS mit Sandboxed Google Play, daher sollte die App verfügbar sein, doch läuft sie auch richtig?

Nutzt jemand GrapheneOS und eine App für E-Scooter und kann mir von Erfahrungen berichten?

Gibt es alternative bzw. open source Apps?

Top 10 News 2025 – The trends on iX Developer: Little AI, lots of security

What our readers found particularly interesting: The Top 10 News of 2025 were dominated by security, open source, TypeScript, and Delphi.

I fine-tuned a 24B parameter cybersecurity LLM. It's free. And I need the security community's help.

After years of benefiting from open security tools, research, and community knowledge, I wanted to give something back.

What I built: nova:24b - a domain-adapted LLM trained specifically for cybersecurity tasks.

The training data (40K+ examples):
- 16,000 examples extracted from 407 security PDFs (threat modeling, cryptography, incident response, adversarial ML)
- ISO 27001:2022 controls (93 Annex A controls with implementation guidance)
- ISO 27005 threat catalog (48 threat categories)
- Energy sector threat database (3,386 scenarios from critical infrastructure analysis)
- Thousands of security Q&A pairs covering vulnerability analysis, secure coding, and compliance

What it's good at:
- Threat modeling and risk assessment
- Control mapping and gap analysis
- Security architecture discussions
- Incident response playbook generation

Where I need help:
The security community has datasets, red team scenarios, and domain knowledge that could make this model genuinely useful for defenders.

If you have:
- Security training data you're willing to share
- Ideas for white hat use cases
- Feedback on what security practitioners actually need from an AI assistant

Reach out. I'll share the model with anyone who wants to test it or contribute.

This isn't a product. It's an experiment in building security AI that serves the community that built my career.

Model: https://huggingface.co/pki/nova-24b-cybersec

#cybersecurity #AI #infosec #LLM #opensource

Built a cybersecurity NER model. 13 entity types. 1,500+ security entities. It's on HuggingFace.

Spent months extracting and annotating cybersecurity entities from real job postings, threat reports, and compliance docs. Turning it into a tool anyone can use.

What it extracts:
- Security roles (CISO, SOC Analyst, Pen Tester)
- Certifications (CISSP, OSCP, CEH)
- Tools (Splunk, CrowdStrike, Metasploit)
- Threats (APT, ransomware, phishing)
- Attack techniques (SQLi, XSS, RCE)
- CVEs, frameworks (MITRE ATT&CK, NIST), regulations (GDPR, PCI-DSS)
- Technical skills, acronyms, compliance terms

Built for:
- Threat intel parsing
- Security talent matching
- Skills inventory extraction
- Compliance doc analysis

The tech:
- RoBERTa transformer, domain-adapted on 40K security texts
- spaCy pipeline for easy integration
- 69% F1 score (and improving)

Where I need help:
- More annotated security text (CVs, job posts, threat reports)
- Edge cases the model misses
- Ideas for entity types I haven't covered

Und weil ich so fresh bin, habe ich das Linux Mint Desklet auch gleich noch als KDE-Plasmoid (Desktop-Widget) umgesetzt. Immerhin teste ich parallel zu meinem geliebten Linux Mint aktuell KDE Plasma und will möglichst alles so einrichten, wie ich es mag 🥰 Läuft bei mir!

Allerdings hätte das niemand ohne Programmierkenntnisse nur mit KI hinbekommen. Gemini in der kostenpflichtigen Pro-Variante verrennt sich ebenso wie Chat GPT ständig in unsinnigen Endlosschleifen, die man nur mit ausreichend Kenntnissen und Erfahrung aus der Praxis in die richtige Richtung lenken kann.

Die KI ist halt immer noch eine "Inselbegabung", mit der alleine man nicht ans Ziel kommt, mit Ihr aber rasend schnell sein kann.

I love using Debian. I think it is so interesting that so many distros have been or currently are based on Debian. While I prefer vanillia Debian, I wanted to list all of the Debian based distros (non-Ubuntu) I know of and categorize them based on what makes them unique.

Ease of use:

Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) - Default for Windows refugees.
MX Linux - MXTools is cool.
Deepin - Beautiful, preconfigured DE.
Peppermint_OS – Lightweight, cloud integrated

Modern/Atomic (New Technologies):

Vanilla OS - Immutable, atomic updates, ability to run apps from Fedora/Arch via Apx. Friendly to new users.
Nitrux - Immutable, no systemd (OpenRC), heavy reliance on AppImage

Performance and/or Old Hardware:

Siduction - Based on Debian Sid. Rolling release, newest kernels.
antiX - No systemd, runs on a toaster (256MB RAM)
Sparky Linux - Debian testing w/better support for drivers/gaming.
BunsenLabs - minimalist OpenBox
Elive - Enlightenment desktop, high-end looks for 20 year old hardware.
Window Maker Live - NeXTSTEP look, fast, polished, and based on Debian 13.

Multimedia/Creative:

AV Linux (MX Edition) – Preconfigured w/low-latency kernel for audio production.
Neptune OS – Polished KDE with excellent media support.

Toolbox Distros:

Kali Linux / Parrot OS - Penetration tools preloaded, think hackerman.
Tails - Anonymity, amnesic, no trace
Whonix – Highly secure via dual-VM setup.
Proxmox VE - Server, machine host for VMs
TrueNAS SCALE - NAS, built for ZFS storage and applications.
OpenMediaVault – Turn old hardware into a NAS
Grml/Finnix/Knoppix - The "oh shit" buttons
Raspberry Pi OS - built for Pi's
VyOS – Router OS
BashCore - Ultra minimalist, stealth, CLI focused, live environment, zero branding.

Protest Distros:

Devuan - dislike for systemd
PureOS – FSF endorsed, 100% free software, privacy-focused

Global & Educational:

Endless OS – Designed for developing world for offline content.
Emmabuntüs – Reviving donated PCs for schools in Africa.

You could also consider Debian Pureblends, like Debian Med and Debian Edu.

Did I miss any? Please let me know, I will edit the list. Thank you!

Well, folks, I'm signing off for this year and taking a few days' vacation. I wish everyone a happy New Year and all the best for 2026! May the coming year be a good one for Linux, open source, and free software and services!

I don't usually express my political views here, but with the orange criminal becoming increasingly erratic and escalating his behavior:

May the spirit of insight enter the minds of responsible politicians in Europe and everywhere outside the Fascist States of America, so that we may begin to free ourselves from the grip and scourge of US surveillance big tech - the dangerous dependence on US corporations such as Google, Microsoft or Palantir, and the danger posed by powerful tech oligarchs such as Thiel, Musk, and Zuckerberg!

And I also wish the American people insight into what a criminal, insane, fascist liar, megalomaniac, and fraud they have been taken in by, and that they correct this in the midterms (if free elections are still possible then...)!

Such a beautiful, great country with mostly wonderful people must not fall for the tricks of a small group of right-wing extremist pied pipers! As a non-American, it is simply incomprehensible that the good people there simply do not realize what a crazy criminal pig Putin's puppet and sex offender Trump and his MAGA clique are!

With this in mind: Make America human and free again. May humanity find its way back to reason and peace.

I want to mention Continuwuity Matrix homeserver, which I've just installed to replace Synapse. It's still in beta, with v0.5 just released, but which does feel stable and quite close to production ready.
Matrix is something I've wanted to get into, and a year or whatever ago, I tried Dendrite, but homeserver projects tend to get abandoned, so I ended up with Synapse anyway, like most people do. But then I didn't do anything with it.
Continuwuity is written in Rust, and is a hard fork of a hard fork, and in active development. As a single user, I prefer something like this running, and hope to see this project evolve into its own thing, and be important.
I think it's a project worth trying, or at least keeping an eye on.

Did you know that #Abbott caused the deaths of seven diabetics this year?

Some of Abbott's continuous glucose monitors (ironically named the #FreeStyle #Libre 3 Plus) incorrectly reported low blood sugar — a grave & dangerous error for insulin-dependent #diabetes. I fortunately wasn't injured, but Abbott's refusal to allow public examination of the technical details of their devices is tantamount to a cover-up.

This is a huge enabler for LLM-assisted troubleshooting. It can read logs, check the journal, inspect systemd units, and pull hardware info in real-time.

Hat zufällig jemand ne Idee wie ich die Upload-Funktion von Synology Photos mit #OpenSource-Mitteln im Zusammenspiel mit #OpenMediaVault abbilden kann?

Sprich automatischer Upload von #Android mit Ablage im Homeverzeichnis des Users auf dem NAS im Ordner Photos, mit dem korrekten Datei-Owner, idealerweise noch mit Einsortierung in Datums-Ordner.

Probleme bei bisherigen Ideen:
- Nextcloud: eigenes Datenverzeichnis für alle User mit gleichem owner
- Immich: siehe Nextcloud
- Syncthing-Instanz pro User: ist am Vielversprechendsten, hat aber bei der Android-App aktuell ein Geschmäckle. Und keine Sortierung in Ordner.

found this launcher last week and I’ve been playing with it since.

It still works with “muscle memory” but instead of placement, it’s the gesture (or direction) that triggers the action. With time it can become quicker and easier, i think, than lawnchair, eblan &c or search based launchers

With #SVG and the tabbed user interface active, #libreOffice looks (at least) as pretty as #microsoft #office and probably runs a lot more stably (as has been my general experience; there is never any problem with #Linux, and it's always #windows that requires attention).

Since it's also free and does not "phone home", I'd recommend everyone to switch. #software #opensource #foss

One thing that influenced my decision to use the iPhone with the Apple Watch as my main device instead of the Pixel with GrapheneOS for health reasons is this: I feel absolutely, ABSOLUTELY bad about it!

On the one hand, of course, because of the data protection issue, but since Trump, I also have the problem that most Europeans have: that you are becoming dependent on a big tech company from the US. A country that is clearly drifting toward fascism, where fundamental rights are being undermined by a mentally ill president with the cognitive development of a toddler, where freedom, an independent judiciary, and democracy are being thrown out the window to give free rein to his hubris.

The example of Microsoft and the chief prosecutor in The Hague showed how quickly one can be cut off from US digital services at the snap of the fascist dictator's fingers. Not to mention that these criminals then have access to all of our data as Europeans. Is that worth the accurate recording of my health data for my doctors and therapy? Because if I have this data, then so do the criminals in the US administration.

What's the point of using open source and free software on all your devices if you betray all that on the most personal device there is, the one you carry with you around the clock—your smartphone?

All of this has been keeping me awake at night for days, and I think I'm going to switch back to GrapheneOS. But I had to try it anyway, otherwise I couldn't make an objective decision.

btw: I liked the USA and Americans – but what Trump and MAGA have done to this wonderful country, to the great people there (but also to the rest of the world and former friends and allies) is a crime. Hate, incitement, persecution, megalomania, and lies. And no resistance to the tyrant anywhere. I can't understand it, no decent European understands it... Americans, take a leaf out of the brave Romanians' book in 1989!

@licho @nextcloud If govts use OSS they will still share your data with corporations I hate to break it to you but the state exists to protect property rights for capitalists and increasingly personal data is considered a property right for capitalists because they make a lot of money from it, a good chunk of which goes back into the state apparatuse to legitimise that theft with "laws"

Just changing the software from google software to libreoffice isnt going to change that fundamental relationship

Der erste Schritt: Kalter Entzug 🚫

Jahrelang war ich im Microsoft-Käfig (Win11, Office365 Familienabo). Bequem, aber fremdbestimmt. Mein Ziel: Echte digitale Souveränität. Also: Kündigung. Alles. Sofort. ✂️

Mein erster Reflex war Ubuntu. Lief gut, fühlte sich "frei" an. Doch die Ernüchterung folgte schnell: Hinter Canonical stecken zu starke US-Einflüsse. Ich wollte keine andere Abhängigkeit, sondern Unabhängigkeit. 🇺🇸❌

Nach tieferer Recherche fiel die Wahl auf openSUSE Tumbleweed. 🦎 Rolling Release, transparent, community-getrieben. Keine US-Cloud-Agenda im Nacken.

Es war ein steiniger Weg, aber ich sage euch: Ich gehe nicht zurück. Die frische Luft schmeckt zu gut.

Teil 4: Mobile Unabhängigkeit 📱🔓
​​Nachdem der Desktop befreit war, ging es an das schwierigste Thema, das Smartphone mit Google Android 🚫
​Die Hardware-Wahl überrascht viele: Ein Google Pixel 8 Pro.
Warum? Weil es (paradoxerweise) die einzige Hardware ist, die uns erlaubt, den Hersteller komplett auszusperren.
​Das Zauberwort heißt GrapheneOS. 🛡️
​Die Installation: Web-Installer, USB-Kabel, 10 Minuten Angstschweiß, fertig. Kein Hexenwerk.
​Der Alltag: Kein Google-Konto Zwang. Kein Tracking im Hintergrund. Keine Spyware funkt.
​Die Apps: F-Droid für FOSS, Aurora Store für den Rest. Und wenn eine App zickt (Banking), läuft sie in einer Sandbox ohne Rechte.
​Es ist mein Gerät. Meine Daten. Mein Pixel gehört endlich mir.

So... in the end, I switched to the iPhone as my primary device after already having to use it as a secondary device alongside my Pixel 9 with GrapheneOS.

Before you stone me, let me say first and foremost that I love GrapheneOS and its almost perfect privacy features! But certain circumstances made a switch more or less necessary.

On the one hand, I don't want to constantly carry around two smartphones – especially when I don't want to lug around an extra backpack, wallet, and/or other bags, but just my keys and phone. Then there's the issue of two phone numbers.

On the other hand, I use “ID Austria,” Austria's digital government service (they can only dream of such technical achievements in Germany, muahaha!), and like my banking, it doesn't work, or only works poorly, without Play Services installed. The same goes for digital tickets for public transportation.

And finally, there's the logging of my health data with Apple Watch, as I have a heart condition, among other things, and Apple Health records all these values very well and perfectly prepares and presents all the relevant data for my doctors. In the end, my health is a little more important to me than data protection. At least I can convince myself that Apple is a little better and more trustworthy here than the data octopus Google.

And: the symbiosis between Linux and Apple now works very well. The iCloud calendar can be easily integrated into GNOME or KDE calendars, and that's what my entire daily organization revolves around. That was the most important point for me. And with Localsend, I have a perfect Airdrop alternative for data exchange, and Nextcloud also works smoothly on both platforms. So, apart from my health, I'm currently more than satisfied with how things are going!
