Vor kurzem bin ich auf einen inoffiziellen Qobuz-Player für Linux aufmerksam geworden: QBZ https://qbz.lol

Ein paar Dinge gefallen mir daran:
* Kein Tracking/Telemetrie durch den Client. Bleibt nur noch das, was auf den Servern passiert.
* Verfügbar für mehrere Distros und MacOS
* CoverFlow: für iTunes und iPod Fans ein cooles Gimmick
* Hi-Res Audio wird unterstützt, auch auf externen DAC's
* DLNA/UPnP/Chromecast Support

Als ich Qobuz mal getestet hatte, fande ich den Webplayer als dauerhafte Lösung nicht besonders prickelnd.

Mal sehen, wie Qobuz in der neuen Artikelserie zum Thema Musik auf dem Kuketz-Blog abschneidet.
Vielleicht nehme ich dann mal Geld in die Hand, und verzichte auf Spotify Free.

RT @sudoingX: Vor einem Jahr war dies auf einer einzelnen Consumer-GPU noch nicht möglich. Heute ist es einfach möglich, und ich bin immer noch etwas überwältigt davon. Google hat vor zwei Tagen Gemma 4 12B veröffentlicht, und ich habe es auf einer einzigen 3090er GPU geladen. Nativ multimodal – Text, Bild, Video, Audio alles in einem einzigen Netzwerk, ohne separate Encoder, die nachträglich angehängt wurden. 256k Kontextfenster, Apache 2.0 Lizenz, Gewichte, die ich tatsächlich besitze und die ich für immer offline betreiben kann. Und das Modell läuft tatsächlich – vollständiges Reasoning aktiviert, der gesamte 256k-Kontext passt in 16 GB VRAM, mit weiteren 8 GB als Puffer. Ich saß da und sah zu, wie es eine Frage Token für Token in seiner eigenen Reasoning-Trace durchdachte, auf einer Grafikkarte, die weniger kostet als ein Monat einiger API-Rechnungen, in meinem eigenen Terminal, ohne Internetverbindung. Der generierte Text ist wirklich scharf, klar strukturiert und wirklich kohärent. Ich teste immer noch aus, wo die Grenzen liegen – jedes kleine Modell hat eine Obergrenze, und ich werde genau zeigen, wo diese liegt, aber die Tatsache, dass diese Leistungsfähigkeit jetzt auf einen Schreibtisch passt, ist der Teil, den ich nicht fassen kann. Vor einem Jahr bedeutete dies einen API-Schlüssel und die Daten eines Rechenzentrums, das jeden Token mitverfolgt. Jetzt ist es eine Box auf meinem Schreibtisch, die mir gehört. Open Source ist wieder voll im Kommen, und es bewegt sich schneller, als die Labs in ihren Preiskalkulationen berücksichtigen. Sudo su (@sudoingX): Das ist der Teil des Ope…

Die Bedrohungslage hat sich fundamental verändert. KI-Systeme decken täglich neue, oft kritische Schwachstellen auf – in einem Tempo, mit dem selbst die größten Softwarehersteller kaum Schritt halten können. Zero-Day-Lücken bleiben oft tagelang oder wochenlang ungepatcht. Patchmanagement ist wichtig – aber es reicht längst nicht mehr aus.

Die unbequeme Wahrheit: Es ist keine Frage mehr, ob ein Unternehmen Ziel eines Angriffs wird – sondern wann.
Umso entscheidender ist der Aufbau einer widerstandsfähigen IT-Infrastruktur. Was das konkret bedeutet:

• Netzwerksegmentierung mit moderner Firewall-Technologie – z. B. mit OPNsense: eine Open-Source-Lösung, die enterprise-taugliche Features wie IDS/IPS, VPN und granulares Regelwerk mitbringt – ohne Enterprise-Preisschild.
• Konsequentes Need-to-Know-Prinzip bei Zugriffsrechten
• Moderner Virenscanner mit Prozesserkennung & Verhaltensanalyse
• Backup & Verfügbarkeit durch den Einsatz von Linux/Unix-Systemen mit nativen Snapshot-Funktionen und dem bewährten Dateisystem ZFS – extrem stabil, selbstheilend und ideal für ein mehrstufiges, an die jeweilige Kritikalität angepasstes Backup-Konzept.
• Regelmäßige Schwachstellenscans zur proaktiven Risikoerkennung
• Pentests durch externe Partner, weil ein frischer Blick von außen oft das aufdeckt, was intern übersehen wird

Wichtig dabei: Ein guter Partner muss nicht zwingend aus dem Ökosystem der großen internationalen Anbieter kommen. Im Gegenteil – wer auf Linux/Unix-affine Lösungen setzt (z. B. FreeBSD auf Servern, OPNsense als Firewall, ZFS als Storage-Backbone), reduziert Abhängigkeiten, Lizenzkosten und Angriffsfläche gleichzeitig. Eine pragmatische Mischung bleibt natürlich möglich: Windows auf Clients, offene Systeme im Serverbereich.

Gerne tausche ich mich dazu aus. Wie ist eure Organisation aufgestellt?

Hello Fediverse,

I'm happy to announce our very own Mastodon instance called "FediBlue", a new friendly place in the Fediverse for all people that are interested in free and open source software, especially Linux, BSD and illumos.

FediBlue is part of our ongoing effort to strengthen the FOSS community by publishing content about it and help projects gaining visibility in a time where many companies try to force their services on users, train AIs with people's data and collect as many data as they could.

Alongside the wonderful BSD Cafe community, where I'm also at, FediBlue should provide another very friendly and welcoming place in the Fediverse. In the next days, the Dark Blue Project presence will move completely to FediBlue.

I think #SelfHosting is an important skill to learn, for anyone with the aptitude for it. I think the internet can't really be made a better place, until people learn to use those same skills to "staple the internet to real life". Like start from a place in one's real-world existence and look around. There are real-world organizations, and various community groups.

These groups should ideally roll their own self-hosted services: forums, group chats, file-sharing, etc. That's what I mean by "stapling": real world regional orgs aligning to the services they self-host. It's the opposite of using Big Tech forums: the Facebooks, Instagrams, etc of the world, where the platforms can't be trusted, and are totally certain to enshittify. In this way, #DataSovereignty is gained.

Yes, people will need a password manager to manage all those passwords. Or perhaps regional SSO servers - run by a city of province/state - can unify these accounts somewhat. Password management and backing up the password database (eg. .kdbx file) should be taught in school.

People actually visiting over coffee/tea (or meals), are the right time to help someone less technically inclined (in person) to install a new #OpenSource friendly app, like Signal or #DeltaChat

Yes, it won't be easy, *but I don't see an alternative*. There's pretty much no escape from the Tech Bro billionaires otherwise.

AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector - GOV.UK

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/ai-open-code-and-vulnerability-risk-in-the-public-sector

Guidance for safely publishing source code in the open, and reducing the risk of AI-accelerated vulnerability discovery.

＂Technology leaders are asking whether AI-accelerated vulnerability discovery means that public sector departments should stop publishing source code ‘in the open’ by default.

User research suggests that the primary driver of exploitation risk is the presence of weaknesses in systems - including unpatched vulnerabilities, insecure implementation, and unsafe configuration or deployment - and the inability to remediate them quickly. Publishing source code does not create those weaknesses, but it can modestly reduce attacker uncertainty and speed up analysis (an effect that may increase with AI assistance), especially where maintenance is weak and fixes are slow. This guidance reinforces the minimum operational capability already assumed for safely operating publicly-accessible services. …＂

GDS weighs in on the NHS's decision to retreat from Open Source

https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2026/05/gds-weighs-in-on-the-nhss-decision-to-retreat-from-open-source/

Within the UK's Civil Service you occasionally hear the expression "being invited to a meeting without biscuits". It implies a rather frosty discussion without any of the polite niceties of a normal meeting

0

. In general though, even when people have severe disagreements, it is rare for tempers to fray. It is even rarer for those internal disagreements to spill over into public.

Which is what makes GDS's latest guidance so surprising. At the start of the month, NHS England made the bizarre and irresponsible decision to close all their Open Source repositories due to unfounded fears of AI hacking

1

. Lots of people within the NHS were outraged. As were many outside - with this petition against the move gathering over 2,000 signatures.

Within other parts of government there was also alarm. Although I no longer work for Government Digital Service, I was contacted by several concerned people there who remembered all my work on Open Source. The brilliant team in Whitechapel have now published their guidance "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector".

It is brutal.

They utterly repudiate the NHS's stance and forensically eviscerate it. I'll let you read the whole thing, but here are a few choice excerpts:

Recent public reporting about organisations restricting access to public repositories due to AI-enabled code analysis illustrates how quickly leaders may reach for blanket closure in response to uncertainty.

Basically, non-technical managers need to stop over-reacting.

Private repositories can create a false sense of security.

I think that's the crux of the argument. Closing code doesn't solve the underlying problems.

Making code private is not an appropriate mitigation for lack of ownership, patching capability, or operational assurance, so systems that cannot be safely maintained should be remediated or retired.

If you are so concerned about the poor security of your systems, you should shut them down completely to mitigate the threat.

Closure can become a one-way door.

As I said to the BMJ, "nothing lasts longer than a temporary fix".

Where code has been developed in the open, making a repository private later may not remove access for a capable adversary as popular repositories are often mirrored or forked

Indeed. A friend of mine has already archived all of the NHS's repositories. You can see the ones they've tried to hide.

But the killer blow, I think, is this:

Moving code from public to private as a substitute for investment in secure-by-design delivery, ownership and remediation is a warning sign because it reduces sharing and scrutiny, can slow coordinated improvement across government and suppliers, and does not remove the underlying weaknesses in a running service.

Exactly! Coding in the open has been shown time and again to produce high quality and secure work. The looming threat of AI vulnerability scanners doesn't change that - security is a shared responsibility. Technical teams need to be well enough resourced to create secure systems; hiding code is as reliable as papering over structural cracks.

GDS was created was to be a strong centre with vast technology expertise. This was to counter the frankly shoddy approach to tech in other departments. Back then, a Service Assessment was a way for a department to prove that they were actually capable of designing, launching, and managing a complex IT project.

Most departments have become significantly better at the development and running of these sorts of projects, so the raison d'etre of GDS has somewhat waned. Departments feel more confident in running off on their own.

I don't know what discussions have taken place within NHS England - although I looking forward to receiving a response to my FOI request. It looks to me like a small group within NHS England have received a report showing some potential vulnerabilities discovered by Mythos. Rather than following their own internal guidance, they've over-reacted and slapped a blanket ban on coding in the open.

I fervently hope that this new guidance will encourage DHSC to bring NHS England into line with best practice. If not, perhaps GDS ought to reassert itself as the technical authority with power to veto a department's incomprehensible decisions?

Guidance. AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector. Guidance for safely publishing source code in the open, and reducing the risk of AI-accelerated vulnerability discovery.

GDS weighs in on the NHS's decision to retreat from Open Source

Within the UK's Civil Service you occasionally hear the expression "being invited to a meeting without biscuits". It implies a rather frosty discussion without any of the polite niceties of a normal meeting

0

. In general though, even when people have severe disagreements, it is rare for tempers to fray. It is even rarer for those internal disagreements to spill over into public.

Which is what makes GDS's latest guidance so surprising. At the start of the month, NHS England made the bizarre and irresponsible decision to close all their Open Source repositories due to unfounded fears of AI hacking

1

. Lots of people within the NHS were outraged. As were many outside - with this petition against the move gathering over 2,000 signatures.

Within other parts of government there was also alarm. Although I no longer work for Government Digital Service, I was contacted by several concerned people there who remembered all my work on Open Source. The brilliant team in Whitechapel have now published their guidance "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector".

It is brutal.

They utterly repudiate the NHS's stance and forensically eviscerate it. I'll let you read the whole thing, but here are a few choice excerpts:

Recent public reporting about organisations restricting access to public repositories due to AI-enabled code analysis illustrates how quickly leaders may reach for blanket closure in response to uncertainty.

Basically, non-technical managers need to stop over-reacting.

Private repositories can create a false sense of security.

I think that's the crux of the argument. Closing code doesn't solve the underlying problems.

Making code private is not an appropriate mitigation for lack of ownership, patching capability, or operational assurance, so systems that cannot be safely maintained should be remediated or retired.

If you are so concerned about the poor security of your systems, you should shut them down completely to mitigate the threat.

Closure can become a one-way door.

As I said to the BMJ, "nothing lasts longer than a temporary fix".

Where code has been developed in the open, making a repository private later may not remove access for a capable adversary as popular repositories are often mirrored or forked

Indeed. A friend of mine has already archived all of the NHS's repositories. You can see the ones they've tried to hide.

But the killer blow, I think, is this:

Moving code from public to private as a substitute for investment in secure-by-design delivery, ownership and remediation is a warning sign because it reduces sharing and scrutiny, can slow coordinated improvement across government and suppliers, and does not remove the underlying weaknesses in a running service.

Exactly! Coding in the open has been shown time and again to produce high quality and secure work. The looming threat of AI vulnerability scanners doesn't change that - security is a shared responsibility. Technical teams need to be well enough resourced to create secure systems; hiding code is as reliable as papering over structural cracks.

GDS was created was to be a strong centre with vast technology expertise. This was to counter the frankly shoddy approach to tech in other departments. Back then, a Service Assessment was a way for a department to prove that they were actually capable of designing, launching, and managing a complex IT project.

Some FosseryWeb updates:
In the announcement post of last week's major update I asked whether the original site should have rounded, slighly rounded, or edged corners, all three options received one vote, so I decided to go with the middleground, the slightly rounded corners. I also updated the Timeline page to include last week's major update and the design change, fixed metadata on the Min site's cheatsheet pages (where the title said FosseryWeb instead of FosseryWeb Min), updated the "tools I use" section on About page.
https://fosseryweb.codeberg.page/
https://fosseryweb-min.codeberg.page/
(The site is a bit slow at the moment, seems like Codeberg servers have some performance issues, probably a bit much load due to a bunch of FOSS projects leaving GitHub, the majority of them going to Codeberg. Luckily you can run the site(s) offline too, see instructions in README: https://codeberg.org/fosseryweb/pages)

Minor update to my Joplin config:
Joplin recently got an update where F11 got mapped to toggling fullscreen by default, which conflicted with my setting of toggling the note list, so I decided to modify toggling sidebar (notebook list) to F2 and toggling note list to F3, to ensure the two keys are next to each other, and don't conflict with any default setting.

Exciting things are on the horizon at BITS!

Our members are hard at work developing a growing collection of software and applications designed to empower users, creators, and accessibility advocates alike.

Coming soon:

• Quill, a robust and accessible text editor designed with productivity in mind.
• Chapter Forge, an MP3 editor and chapter creation tool to help users organize and enhance audio content.
• Glow, an application designed to help ensure documents meet accessibility standards and best practices.

Several of these apps are being developed as open-source software, creating opportunities for users and developers to contribute ideas, testing, documentation, and code.

These projects reflect one of BITS' core strengths: technology created by blind and low-vision innovators and improved through collaboration. The goal is not simply to build tools for our members, but to create resources that can benefit the wider accessibility community.

We're excited to share more as these projects continue to grow and evolve.

The monetization of OSINT tools and the transformation of social media platforms into walled gardens doesn't hinder malicious actors. Criminals generally rely on leaked data breaches and stolen source code. They aren't relying on front-end web scraping. These restrictions only lock out those trying to use OSINT for the greater good.

"We're doing this for safety" is nothing more than security theater.

I recently signed up for Trace Labs, and as an OSINT newcomer, I didn't expect to hit such an immediate, frustrating wall. For obvious opsec reasons, crowdsourced search parties discourage using your real-world identity. Yet today, standard investigative tools are locked behind invasive account creation and identity verification processes.

To make matters worse, Meta previously banned my device fingerprints simply for sharing HackTheBox content, accusing me of being a "malicious hacker" abd requesting I provide them a government issued ID for "security reasons." This blatant overreach has severely limited my ability to build the research accounts needed to actively participate in these labs. Furthermore, major platforms and target web pages now aggressively block traffic from TOR and VPNs. Again, how does this stop threat actors who already have dark web access? It only hinders those trying to play by the rules.

The clamp down on open data extends everywhere, from restricted satellite imagery to locked-down public directories. When tech giants claim they are locking down data for "user safety," it is a convenient PR shield to protect corporate profits and liability. They don't care about your data. If they did, they wouldn't demand your government ID, force you to fork over a phone number, or quietly profit off your digital footprint while leaving you exposed.

They scraped our data, monetized it, and now claim to protect us. The only real solution left is collective digital self-defense: we must fight to remain anonymous and treat the web exactly as it is–a hostile environment. There is no world where these corporations can protect your information from real criminals. Those actors don't play by these rules, and an identity check means nothing to someone holding a stolen database.

I'm happy to share some more insights about the project, development stages, integration of the ProxTools collection (like #ProxLB, #ProxPatch, #ProxSnap,...) and more! We'll end up in a live demo of PegaProx, orchestrating several Proxmox clusters, XCP-ng based ones and maybe I'll have already finished another great thing until that date 🙂

If you've been wanting to move your activity history from Strava to FitPub but dreaded dealing with the export files, I made a small browser tool that does the heavy lifting.

Drop in your Strava export files, it decompresses the .fit.gz files, splits everything into correctly-sized ZIP batches, and hands them back for upload. No install, no server, runs entirely in your browser.

I don't think that anybody doubts that "Europe" could make a Palantir clone if motivated. There is nothing unique or special behind the creators of Palantir (at least in ways that should be encouraged or idealized) or its people working there (anybody who's had the experience to work with them or use their products will tell you that). However what is/was unique is the petri dish conditions in which such a monstrosity was not only able to be born, but nurtured, engineered, and designed to amplify all the worst character traits, ideals, and values of someone who learned all the wrong lessons from growing up in Apartheid South Africa and who seems hell bent on doing everything they can turn back the clock to re-create those conditions on a global scale with his companies "products" and "innovations". The framing of legal questions and issues as excuses and roadblocks as the very reason why the US outpacing Europe in specific technologies is an interesting one, but also an extremely problematic one if you are not a fan of societies of authoritarianism and fascism. It is no coincidence that ALL of the tech produced with the :us-flag: next to it is, or becomes, authoritarian, colonialist, and/or fascist friendly; they are the essential tools required in order for the US to maintain hegemony through extortion, theft, violence, and intimidation both globally and abroad (including here in Europe and against Europeans). Again, making it obvious why former beneficiaries from apartheid looking to relive those glory days (Thiel, Musk) and their wannabes/acolytes find such fertile ground to succeed there. So in light of that, this begs the question. If we can plainly see that the promotion and application of these technologies and ideals leads us back down roads we vowed we would never again travel, why do so many of us here in Europe rush to smash the "CTRL-C/CTRL-V" buttons each and every time the topic/opportunity arises. Do you/we all think you'll/we'll be wearing the boots instead of licking them this time? The area Europe needs to take leadership in, is addressing the "Building a Orwellian surveillance state" like the US is, and has been doing, is easy; so not tackle how we can do it too, but rather, should we? Instead we/Europe should look to answer; what is the better solution that is more democratically innovative even though it will also be probably more difficult in order to encourages the creation and maintenance of a society the VAST majority of us want. Instead of demanding that Europe rush to tear down the "bureaucracy", "restrictions", and "legal" issues (aka democratically ethical considerations) in order to let "tech" and "innovation" thrive, we need to demand that more focus and innovation is placed in to the creation of regulation and guard rails to ensure that we don't create the same conditions that the USA has in allowing the most feudalistic, fascist, racist, or authoritarian of us thrive. As you illustrated with your examples in your blog, the technology and development is the easy part; it is like a gold fish (well, more like a shark), it will grow into the tank we provide for it and as large and dangerous as we allow it to.

#Stellarium is one of the most fascinating, wonderful, valuable #opensource project. It helps me a lot getting started with #astronomy. I have absolutely no idea how those folks programmed it, how may work it needed.

Sovereignty Is Engineered, Not Procured

Europe often asks whether it can build a company like Palantir: a software champion capable of serving intelligence, defence, law enforcement, crisis response, cyber defence, and public-sector decision-making at scale.

The usual answer is that Europe lacks data, capital, talent, or legal room. I do not think this is the full story.

The capacity is there. The data is there. The technical talent is there. The public-sector problems are real, urgent, and interesting. What is often missing is the will to tackle complex programmes seriously, over time, with teams that are allowed to build, fail, iterate, and take responsibility.

Europe does not need a Palantir clone. It needs the capacity to build strategic software for intelligence and security missions without outsourcing the core of its thinking.

RT @sudoingX: Vor einem Jahr war dies auf einer einzelnen Consumer-GPU noch nicht möglich. Heute ist es einfach möglich, und ich bin immer noch ein wenig überwältigt davon. Google hat vor zwei Tagen Gemma 4 12b veröffentlicht, und ich habe es auf einer einzelnen 3090 geladen. Nativ multimodal: Text, Bild, Video, Audio – alles in einem einzigen Modell, ohne separate Encoder, die nachträglich angehängt wurden. 256k Kontextfenster, Apache 2.0-Lizenz, Gewichte, die ich tatsächlich besitze und die ich für immer offline betreiben kann. Und das Ding läuft tatsächlich: Vollständiges Reasoning aktiviert, der gesamte 256k-Kontext passt in 16 GB VRAM, mit weiteren 8 GB Reserve. Ich saß da und sah zu, wie es eine Frage Token für Token in seiner eigenen Reasoning-Trace durchdachte, auf einer Grafikkarte, die weniger kostet als eine Monatsrechnung einiger API-Dienste, in meinem eigenen Terminal, ohne Internetverbindung. Die daraus resultierenden Texte sind wirklich scharf, mit klarer Struktur und echter Kohärenz. Ich teste immer noch, wo es an seine Grenzen stößt; jedes kleine Modell hat eine Obergrenze, und ich werde genau zeigen, wo diese liegt. Aber die Tatsache, dass diese Leistungsfähigkeit jetzt auf einen Schreibtisch passt, ist der Punkt, bei dem ich nicht mehr zur Ruhe komme. Vor einem Jahr bedeutete dies einen API-Schlüssel und einen Rechenzentrum von jemand anderem, das jeden Token beobachtet hat. Jetzt ist es eine Box auf meinem Schreibtisch, die mir gehört.
