I got a PineTime #OpenSource smartwatch to monitor my heart rate on hikes and bike rides. I've had it for a couple months now. I like it a lot, and it's an amazing deal. Finding an app to record heart rate was the hardest part, but it turned out OsmAnd, already my favorite Android mapping app (#FOSS and uses #OpenStreetMap), does a great job. Big thumbs up for both #PineTime and #OsmAnd.

"It’s never a waste of my time to turn an enthusiastic and incompetent contributor into an enthusiastic and competent contributor, it’s an absolutely critical part of building a healthy project…
…If I spend time reviewing LLM-generated code when it would have been faster to write it myself (which, to be clear, is the case on 100% of LLM-submitted PRs I’ve seen so far), then that’s just a time sink."
One of the open source projects I used to (many years ago, so I am not really affected anymore) has recently decided to allow AI contributions. One of their arguments is that they judge submissions on quality, not tools used.
Back when I was an active contributor (to the project and maintainer of some other parts of the surrounding ecosystem), I got a lot of submissions that were bad.
The thing is, I absolutely loved getting these because they always came from super-enthusiastic junior people. Reviewing them and giving feedback often too much longer than implementing the feature myself. The same was usually true for the next contribution too. But that shifted over time. After a few months, I started getting patches where I didn’t find anything beyond the cosmetic that I wanted to change.
Going back further, I was one of those people when I started contributing.
Measured as code contributions over the short term, maintainers working with submitters of poor-quality PRs is a waste of time. You’re taking time away from writing code to do something that produces code more slowly.
Measured over the long term, the results are very different. Far more code in that project and closely related parts of the ecosystem has been written by people who I mentored when they came along with some bad code than by me.
It’s never a waste of my time to turn an enthusiastic and incompetent contributor into an enthusiastic and competent contributor, it’s an absolutely critical part of building a healthy project. I wouldn’t have got nearly as much out of F/OSS on a personal level if I hadn’t encountered a lot of people with the same opinion when I was one of the enthusiastic and incompetent newcomers.
But LLMs are not like that. If I spend time reviewing LLM-generated code when it would have been faster to write it myself (which, to be clear, is the case on 100% of LLM-submitted PRs I’ve seen so far), then that’s just a time sink. It’s also taking away time I could be spending helping new contributors who want to actually improve, rather than just take the review comments, feed them into an opaque system, and give me back the results.
🎉 Drift — Share to Mastodon is officially live on the Chrome Web Store!
Yesterday I wrote about why I built Drift. Today, version 1.0.0 is approved and available for anyone to install.
Drift makes one of my common Mastodon workflows a lot easier:
🔹 Highlight a passage on a webpage
🔹 Click Drift
🔹 Get an editable draft with the passage, title, and link
🔹 Add your own thoughts
🔹 Choose your Mastodon server
🔹 Review and publish from Mastodon itself
It also supports right-click sharing, multiple saved servers, tracking-link cleanup, temporary draft recovery, keyboard shortcuts, and light/dark mode.
No Mastodon password. No API token. Nothing gets published automatically.
It’s free and open source.
Chrome Web Store:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/gfngoampnddkablfoplbllkdcfkifnij
I wrote more about how it works and the privacy decisions behind it here:

If you try it, I’d genuinely love to hear what you think.

OpenInfra Europe, the European hub of the foundation behind OpenStack, has warned that its artifact server was compromised. An Artifactory authentication bypass disclosed on 28 August was being exploited by the 31st, the day the server fell. It was noticed on 15 September, when a legitimate user was locked out. Anything downloaded in between is treated as potentially compromised.
The uncomfortable part: this was no zero-day, but a known flaw on internet-facing plumbing that other people build software from. An artifact server is a distribution point. Tamper there and every downstream pipeline inherits it.
Open source infrastructure is critical infrastructure. Its plumbing deserves the same patch clock and monitoring as the things it serves.

This explains very well why "bad" code contributions by enthusiastic people can still be very worthwhile in the long run.
Also LLM's will not share a drink with you at a conference reminiscing about that time you collaborated on a piece of code, or sharing stories about stuff happening in their life.
Opensource projects dismissing these social aspects are doomed in my view.
One of the open source projects I used to (many years ago, so I am not really affected anymore) has recently decided to allow AI contributions. One of their arguments is that they judge submissions on quality, not tools used.

A codebase is more than code.
It is the result of decisions, rejected alternatives, production constraints and workarounds that made sense at the time.
With Keep the Why, that reasoning lives as plain Markdown in the repository and can reference reasoning in other repositories.
Once those links exist, something interesting emerges: a web of project rationale you can actually walk.
Families show where reasoning belongs.
Friends show where projects relate.
Thoughts show how decisions connect over time.
No graph database.
No central index.
No account.

Microsoft has open-sourced #TauGrid, a cloud-native AI infrastructure platform designed to make running GPU workloads on Kubernetes easier.
TauGrid brings several pieces together into a single stack:
• A CLI for submitting and managing AI workloads
• Kueue for workload queueing, quotas, and scheduling
• KubeRay for distributed AI workloads
• GPU health monitoring and node diagnostics
• Integrated observability for clusters, GPUs, and workloads
It supports workloads across data preparation, distributed training, fine-tuning, batch inference, and model serving.
The interesting part is the separation of responsibilities. Researchers can submit and monitor workloads without needing to manage Kubernetes directly, while platform teams retain control over compute, capacity, identity, policies, and infrastructure.
For organizations running GPU-intensive AI workloads, this could provide a more standardized way to manage shared Kubernetes-based AI infrastructure without building all of the integration glue themselves.
TauGrid is MIT licensed and designed for self-hosted Kubernetes environments.

New GLEAPP companion: the Map Downloader cuts an area of the Protomaps planet basemap into one .pmtiles file on an online machine, for GLEAPP's offline maps.
Only the tiles inside the area are downloaded. The server sees which area you ask for.

What starts as importing a PS Vita from Japan quickly turns into booting modern Linux and launching a new open source initiative.
In this video, I unbox a Japanese Vita, hack it, and kick off the LinuxOnVita project to get Linux running properly on the hardware.

> "Ist ja kein Problem wenn die Entwickler massenweise Code aus dem LLM commiten! Das Projekt ist OpenSource, du kannst dir ja jederzeit ansehen was der Code tut!"
Das mit dem Fremdcode lesen hat früher nie funktioniert.
Noch nie haben Nutzer nennenswert die Sicherheit und Funktion von #OpenSource eingeschätzt. Das war schon immer ein leeres Versprechen ohne jeglichen Wert für Endnutzer. (Was aber funktionierte: wenn man als Dev einen neuen Browser entwickeln wollte, konnte man anhand des Codes grob einschätzen ob man lieber WebKit oder Netscape als Basis forken sollte)
Das neue an der Situation ist dass da sehr schnell, sehr viel Code mit fraglicher Qualität entsteht. So viel Code dass selbst die ursprünglichen Entwickler ihn nicht mehr lesen oder zumindest verstehen.
Und wenn der Hersteller nicht versteht was er ausliefert, muss einfach der Endanwender das technische Verständnis und den Zeitaufwand aufbringen?
LOL!

📱 Signal ohne Telefonnummer: Es geht tatsächlich los.
In der aktuellen Android-Beta lässt sich ein neues Signal-Konto erstmals komplett ohne Telefonnummer anlegen. Statt SMS-Verifizierung erhält man eine 32-stellige Account-ID und einen 64-stelligen Recovery-Key.
Die Registrierung kostet einmalig rund 3 US-Dollar bzw. einen länderspezifischen Betrag. Laut Signal wird die Zahlung durch Zero-Knowledge-Technik nicht direkt mit dem neuen Konto verknüpft.
Wichtig: Gehen Account-ID und Recovery-Key verloren, gibt es keinen Fallback über eine Telefonnummer – das Konto ist dann weg. 👇

We were very happy to participate in Vulnopticon 2026 and to meet so many people interested in vulnerability identification, publication, coordination, and management.
The discussions during the conference and just as importantly, the conversations around and outside the formal sessions brought a lot of useful feedback, new ideas, questions, and potential directions for GCVE. These exchanges are especially valuable for a project such as GCVE, where openness, federation, interoperability, and experimentation are at the core of the initiative.

Linux, local AI, and a Slimbook EVO optimized to work together 🚀
Florin has shared the release of BRGV-OS, an independent Linux distribution based on Void Linux, with an edition specifically optimized for Slimbook EVO with AMD Strix Point.
The project focuses on local computing, making use of the EVO’s NPU and GPU to run AI tools and models locally, while also including engineering and productivity applications.
Florin has also prepared this video showcasing the project and the result of his work:

Thanks, Florin, for sharing your work with the community and for exploring what’s possible with the EVO 🙌
GrapheneOS Confirms Its First Phone Beyond the Pixel Line. The Motorola Signature 27 Is Set to Get Support
In early September, I wrote that GrapheneOS was expanding beyond the Pixel lineup. At the time, the project announced that the first supported Motorola phone would arrive…

Certainly worth checking out.

It's 01:44 am, so naturally I'm working on my "The Future is Decentralized and Federated" talk for @oscl .
I'm at the part where I explain the need for decentralized (and federated) platforms and the adverse effects of centralized platforms.
Besides the obvious examples of big tech shutting down services, I'm considering including the hostile take-over of TikTok by Oracle, a private equity firm, and an Abu Dhabi based VC firm.

Ich nutze schon sehr lange Karten von OpenStreetMap als Grundlage für meine Navigation. Als mein altes Fairphone 2 für die App OSMAnd+ aber zu schwach wurde, habe ich nach Alternativen geschaut.
Über Organic Maps bin ich letztlich bei dessen Fork CoMaps gelandet. Auch wieder Karten von OpenStreetMap, auch wieder Offline-Karten. Aber viel schlanker. Damit konnte mein Fairphone 2 tatsächlich wieder flüssig navigieren 😅 Und die meisten Funktionen von OSMAnd+ habe ich eh nicht genutzt. Da ist die deutlich aufgeräumtere Nutzungsoberfläche von CoMaps ein weiterer Vorteil.
Und @CoMaps ist auch hier im Fediverse aktiv 😃

Yesterday we were talking with Viktor on #Marginalia Discord. I was thinking the bottleneck in crawling is bandwidth. Viktor said something else:
The bottleneck is not BW, not most of the time. But the problem's that a) the crawler is polite. So I don't send so many requests to the same host concurrently. For instance, so many websites on wordpress.com, geocities, github.io and similar.
And b) Too many open connections will drive the network switch mad and it'll be problematic.
Since yesterday, I'm using #wget to download websites for offline usage and later index them using #yacy. By default, wget is a polite crawler. I am fetching about ~10 websites concurrently. And the average BW usage is just 1MB/s. Fetching some websites is not done since yesterday till now...

🤔 Question: what would you do if you want to release an open source project, but not want to have it feed the AI machine?
It is clear that I am not the only one struggling with this. Curious if we can come up with creative ways to reward humans and grant them access, while at the same time stopping the AI overlords.
Suggestions or ideas?
