Why use a CLI for VirusTotal? 🤔💻

VirusTotal's `vt-cli` gives power users full VirusTotal access right from the terminal: fetch file/URL reports, launch YARA RetroHunts, search with advanced filters, or download files securely. All it needs is an API key.

      For those processing pushing a new EULA that changes the ecosystem into a thoroughly-slopped VC nightmare... I have had wonderful results from devices:

      Now, I have heretofore simply loaded the Arduino IDE and used Teensyduino to do the uploads, and clearly that is all over, because Arduino is over.

                My experience attempting to contribute to :

                1. Submit an additional pr
                2. Contributor A asks me to fix a lint err my editor didn’t pick as it’s not often used.
                3. Find out that the lint error would normally make the entire codebase error, except that it only checks the latest changes.
                4. Attempt to fix the issue systematically, as the current contributor said not to have much knowledge in the language.
                5. Contributor A merges the pr 🚀
                6. Contributor B jumps in and reverts the merge, asks me to submit better commit messages

                Don’t do it people it’s not worth it, fork their stuff and use it. Contributing back gives only pedantic bs.

                  Y’all, using #Signal is a Bad Idea™, because it is centralized. Centralized platforms are

                  • vulnerable to changes in management (see Twitter/X),
                  • vulnerable to downtime (see Cloudflare and Amazon outages making large parts of the Internet inaccessible)
                  • at greater threat of backdoors, DDoS, and government pressure, since there’s much more to be gained than targeting smaller servers on federated networks

                  You’re using a federated social network, the Fediverse. I recommend you also use a federated platform for chat and calls - it’s called #Jabber a.k.a. #XMPP.

                  The easiest way to start using it is to install Quicksy (Play Store, App Store, F-Droid) or Prāv (Play Store, F-Droid). They use your phone number for registration and contact discovery, similar to Signal, Telegram, and WhatsApp.

                  You also have many apps and servers which do not need a phone number - see my quick and easy user’s guide to XMPP to learn more.

                  And, as with anything I recommend, they are #FreedomRespecting software a.k.a. #libre software (sometimes mistakenly called #OpenSource or #FOSS) - the only kind of software that is trustworthy and resistant to monopolies.

                  PS I don’t know who needs to hear this, but please do better than just following the herd and installing whatever the people in your circle did. That’s how every abusive centralized big tech platform gets its power.

                    In open source, do you ever feel like you're wearing too many hats? Juggling roles—contributor, employee, community lead—can create more confusion than clarity. It's often better to pick one hat and stick with it.

                    In my latest post, I reflect on my experiences at Red Hat and in the Fedora and CentOS communities, and why I chose to represent a single "voice" to avoid ambiguity. It’s a tough choice, but it leads to clearer conversations.

                      Consider these questions when evaluating your linting setup:

                      - Does this rule prevent actual bugs? If not, consider removing it.
                      - Would a new team member understand why this rule exists? If you can’t explain it in one sentence, it might be too complex.
                      - Are we spending more time configuring tools than solving problems? If yes, you’ve gone too far.
                      - Do our linting rules reflect our team’s actual coding standards? Rules that everyone ignores or works around are worse than no rules. Remember, the best code is code that works, is maintainable, and can be understood by your teammates. If your linting setup supports these goals, great. If it becomes an obstacle to them, it’s time to reassess.

                                                      Qualcomm-owned Arduino quietly pushed a sweeping rewrite of its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and the changes mark a clear break from the open-hardware ethos that built the platform.
The new documents introduce an irrevocable, perpetual license over anything users upload, broad surveillance-style monitoring of AI features, a clause preventing users from identifying potential patent infringement, years-long retention of usernames even after account deletion, and the integration of all user data (including minors) into Qualcomm’s global data ecosystem. Military weird things and more.

Several sections effectively reshape Arduino from an open community platform into a tightly controlled corporate service with deep data extraction built in. The most striking addition: 

users are now explicitly forbidden from reverse-engineering or even attempting to understand how the platform works unless Arduino gives permission. That’s a profound shift for a brand long embraced by educators, makers, researchers, and open-source advocates.

L'accessibilité de Linux est inacceptable pour en faire une plateforme d'éducation des enfants.

Dans ce cas-ci, il faut *d'abord* investir en accessibilité de cette plateforme, et puis « s'intéresser » à quoi que ce soit.

                                                                                                                                                    Ein Problem der @Endof10@floss.social-Bewegung liegt darin begründet, dass sich ein Haufen Menschen finden, die den Wechsel von Win10 auf Linux, Backups, Reparaturen und Schulungen gratis geben.

                                                                                                                                                    In der kommerziellen IT-Welt bezahlt man Windows, die Office-Produkte, Wartung & Service, Backups.

                                                                                                                                                    So schön Repaircafes auch sind, führt das zu Lohndumping, dann wird nicht einmal Mindestlohn gezahlt. Open Source IT wird zu Carework II. Unbezahlte Arbeit führt überall zum selben Problem.

                                                                                                                                                    Gratisarbeit führt auch dazu, dass ein Dienstleister diese Nichteinnahme an die Autoren der Software nicht weiterleitet, etc.

                                                                                                                                                    IT scheint in die selbe Schiene "geistiger" Arbeit zu wandern, in die auch Online-Journalismus wandert. Online lesen ist gratis, eine Papierzeitung musste man kaufen. Die Kosten für den Druck waren nachvollziehbar, die Kosten für Hosting, Lizenzgebühren für Domains, Speicher etc sind eben nur virtuell.

                                                                                                                                                    Im Gegensatz zum Internet der Dinge bezahlen Menschen aber ihre Smartphones, ihre PCs, die Peripherie, USB-Sticks, Speicher, Festplatte, LEDs.

                                                                                                                                                    Und genau an dem Punkt regt sich dann auch der Widerstand in der (IT-)Industrie, die Produkte zu wechseln.

                                                                                                                                                    Oder wie sehen eure nachhaltigen "kommerziellen" Modelle aus?

And the best? You can even create this over different locations/countries to provide you more flexibility.

                                                                                                                                                                        You can simply assign any RFC1918 addresses on your new additional network interface on both sites and communicate in your own private network - even miles away.

                                                                                                                                                                            For one thing, it might be a viable replacement for BookWyrm. For another, it is apparently a project developed in , which is admittedly not a country I had on my scope for major projects - most such projects I am aware of come from Europe and North America.

                                                                                                                                                                            But that's always the problem - the limits of my own awareness rarely represent the totality of facts. Thus, when I notice gaps in my knowledge, it is my responsibility to do something to rectify them.

                                                                                                                                                                            So can anyone tell me about the state of Open Source development in China?

These apps share code, but the focus of each ‘flavor’ of Bonfire is slightly different. If you have the opportunity to support them, it would be greatly appreciated!

If you want to join in, just pick a free/open-source project you appreciate and send 'em some cash. $50 is suggested, but any amount is great.
