github.com/BaffiSan/HOLogram/issues
Prior art we're aware of:
▸ Kloak (Whonix) — OS/kernel level, requires root, Linux only
▸ MouseFaker (CHIIR 2021) — mouse only, research proof-of-concept
HOLogram is browser-native, cross-platform, and defines a formal open standard (HLP/HCT/RFC process) rather than a standalone tool.
These are complementary layers, not competing solutions.
Sábado à noite aqui e eu fazendo uma volta ao "passado" (2021 foi ontem!) e pesquisando sobre uma história curiosa: para quem não sabe, a rede social do Trump, Truth Social, usa o código do Mastodon como base e quando foi lançada não deu os créditos devidos.
O Mastodon é um software livre publicado sob a licença #AGPLv3, que exige que qualquer serviço que o utilize torne seu código-fonte e quaisquer modificações nele acessíveis publicamente. Significa que se alguém quiser copiar o Mastodon e criar uma outra plataforma baseado no código dele, precisa também abrir o código-fonte para todo mundo ver e usar. O princípio é mais ou menos o de que, se vc usa o código (trabalho) alheio gratuitamente, concorda em compartilhar o resultado do seu trabalho com todo mundo também.
O Eugen, conhecido como Eugênio no mundo lusófono, o criador do Mastodon, precisou notificar a empresa do Trump para que eles dessem os créditos e abrissem e publicassem o código-fonte da plataforma Truth Social.
Veja a assimetria da relação: um dos mais conhecidos projetos do Fediverso fazendo frente com o presidente dos EUA pedindo para eles respeitarem a licença do software. Significa que a empresa do Trump que dizia que eles mesmo tinham feito a Truth Social, foram obrigados a reconhecer que copiaram o código da mais conhecida rede social alternativa, o Mastodon. Feito por uma pessoa e mantido por uma comunidade que tem absoluta rejeição à pessoa do Trump e a tudo o que ele representa.
Hoje é possível encontrar uma seção na rede trumpista que menciona os dois projetos de código aberto em que a plataforma Truth Social se baseia (Mastodon para o backend e Soapbox para o frontend) e, nessa página, é disponibilizado um arquivo ZIP com o suposto código-fonte.
Digo "suposto" pois não significa que aquele código é o que realmente está sendo usado atualmente.
Mas sempre tem gente muito bacana nesse mundo, né? E o Evan Boehs decidiu investigar o que tinha nesse código-fonte e comparar com a plataforma online. Óbvio que o código não batia - o arquivo zip não estava atualizado. Ele notificou a empresa do Trump e depois de alguma demora, ele recebeu o código "atualizado". Segue o link para o código-fonte de 2022: github.com/boehs/truthsocial/t…
E outra pessoa muito bacana chamada Jasmin pegou esse novo código e comparou com o do Mastodon para saber o que a equipe do Trump mudou, e em breve vou postar um resumo em português aqui que é bem interessante. Spoiler: eles excluíram a conexão com o resto do Fediverso, entre outras coisas.
Capitalism is already grinding us down every single day... it’s wild that DHH is out here acting like a class traitor, getting way too comfortable in the #NiX #community while completely disrespecting the NiX Code of Conduct. People like this need to be completely iced out.
My guy, if you don't want to respect minorities, trans men and women? if you don't want to respect people? build it from scratch on your own. get fucked.
Schleswig-Holstein geht weiter konsequent in Richtung "Digitale Unabhängigkeit": Bis auf wenige Ausnahmen sind inzwischen alle Arbeitsplätze in der Kieler Staatskanzlei vom Betriebssystem Windows auf die offene Lösung Linux umgestellt.
We talk a lot about digital sovereignty.
But who controls the vulnerability intelligence our infrastructure depends on?
Who owns the identifiers? Who controls the databases? Who decides when information becomes public? Who controls the models interpreting it?
Maybe sovereignty starts with the data.
👉 I’ll be discussing this through Vulnerability-Lookup, @gcve, open AI and the Fediverse at @oscl October 7.

Introducing HOLogram — an open protocol to protect people from AI behavioral tracking in the browser.
Every page you visit runs JavaScript that reads your behavioral signals in real time — keystroke timing, pointer trajectories, scroll dynamics. These are fed to AI classifiers that identify you without cookies, across VPNs, even on Tor.
HOLogram intercepts these signals at the browser layer before JS can read them and replaces them with a synthetic behavioral profile — functionally identical, behaviorally unidentifiable.
Local-only · Zero-retention · MIT license · Reference implementation not yet built — looking for contributors.

🔐 Digitale Souveränität Track an der DINAconCH 2026
Können US-amerikanische Behörden auf unsere persönlichen Daten zugreifen oder uns sogar aus digitalen Diensten aussperren? Seit Donald Trumps zweiter Amtszeit ist diese Frage aktueller denn je und der Begriff "digitale Souveränität" in aller Munde.
An der DINAcon beleuchten wir die verschiedenen Schichten digitaler Souveränität.🔍 Was euch konkret in diesem Track erwartet:
▪️ Anwendungen – mit Peer Heinlein
▪️ Betriebssysteme – mit Philippe Gervais
▪️ Cloud – mit Tobias Brunner und Aarno Aukia
▪️ Blick in den Maschinenraum – mit Torben Stephan
Dazu gibt's konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen für Verwaltung, Politik und privatrechtliche Organisationen.
👉 Mehr Informationen: https://dinacon.ch/2026/09/15/um-was-geht-es-im-track-souveranitat/

After many many hours and much internal panic, I released my micro php framework for public alpha on source.tube .
Built mostly for me, but maybe others like me that do things a little different than normal devs. I’ve still got a bunch of stuff to build for it, but where it’s at right now I can use it for actual projects I have planned
Also there’s a demo site. And it’s basically the docs too because I can’t be bothered to build a doc site
More retro Nintendo goodies for you with The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess reimplementation Dusklight version 2.0 bringing major new features.

I've been tinkering with #marmaladeTTS on #grapheneos which has some pretty useful features like the ability to assign specific voices to an app. I can also disable network permissions after I downloaded the engines with different voices.
Previously I've been using #SherpaTTS which has been a life saver in the #opensource #TextToSpeech space. Marmalade is easier to test and configure the voices to get natural sounding voices, but it's limited to English. Sherpa TTS is still going to be the go to for other languages.

Wyniki badania „DeGoogle Mobile Telemetry Study 2026”
Co faktycznie wysyła telefon z Androidem, gdy się go nie dotyka?
Zespół badawczy przez 72 godziny z rzędu rejestrował pakiety sieciowe z telefonów pozostawionych w laboratorium, w stanie bezczynności.
Chcąc sprawdzić co faktycznie wysyła telefon z Androidem, gdy się go nie dotyka skonfigurowano kilka starych telefonów Pixel 8 w izolowanej sieci VLAN za sprzętową zaporą pfSense z uruchomionym programem Wireshark. Wszystkie urządzenia były podłączone do zasilania i pozostawione bez ingerencji przez 72 godziny bez przerwy.
Ile danych telefon potajemnie wysyła do Google, gdy nie korzystasz z niego?
Oto surowe dane porównujące fabryczny system (stock) i GrapheneOS:
Pixel 8 w wersji fabrycznej – ustawienia domyślne: 348,4 połączeń wychodzących na godzinę (ponad 8 300 dziennie). Najczęściej odwiedzanymi adresami docelowymi były checkin.gstatic.com (skanowanie pobliskich identyfikatorów BSSID sieci Wi-Fi) oraz device-provisioning.googleapis.com.
Standardowy Pixel 8 – wszystkie opcje prywatności wyłączone: 194,2 połączeń na godzinę. Wyłączenie lokalizacji i diagnostyki w ustawieniach powstrzymuje jedynie około 44% żądań w tle.
GrapheneOS – Google Play w piaskownicy: 12,1 połączeń na godzinę (wyłącznie sygnały kontrolne powiadomień push przez port 5228 dla aplikacji wyraźnie zatwierdzonych przez użytkownika).
GrapheneOS – brak usług Google: 0,0 połączeń wychodzących na godzinę w całym 72-godzinnym okresie.

If you really want to tell disabled people to use an open source or alternative thing instead of the proprietary thing, you better make damn well sure that open source or alternative thing is at least screen reader friendly as a bare minimum when it comes to disability access if you're the developer.
If you're a user of the open source or alternative thing, encourage the developer to do better than the proprietary developers on all disability developments, even when the developer tries to make the excuse that they are not a large corporation and can't afford the accessibility developments.
If you can't figure out why disable people continue to use proprietary thing when open source or alternative thing exist, shut the fuck up and do a lot more reading instead of replying.

Tired of drafting vulnerability advisories from Git patches?
We developed patch2vuln to facilitate the creation of security advisories directly from Git patches.
With a single command, patch2vuln can assist an analyst throughout the advisory creation process: analyzing the patch, drafting the vulnerability title and description, identifying CWE and CAPEC mappings, proposing a CVSS v4.0 vector, extracting affected versions, remediation information and credits, and generating a structured CVE/GCVE record.
The analysis can run entirely locally using an LLM via Ollama, while deterministic processing is used for elements such as CVSS scoring and structured output validation.
The goal is not to replace the security analyst, but to remove much of the repetitive work and provide a solid structured draft for human review and publication.
patch2vuln v1.0 is now available as open-source software under the @gcve Lab initiative.
Thanks to David Cruciani for the tests and Jeroen Pinoy for the initial feedback.

One thing I used to hate about #OpenSource projects on GitHub was complicated the setup with dependency issues, environment conflicts, and all kinds of other problems. I used to spend days just to get something going and often ended up giving up. Now I just give #AI #agent a repo URL and ask it to set everything up. It reads the docs, figures out what it needs, installs all kinds of crap, and gets everything running so I can just try it out. lol
I've turned off pull requests from non-members for Flask, Werkzeug, Jinja, and Click this week, and have enjoyed not waking up to a fresh wave of AI junk every morning. I think I'm going to update our contributing guide to say "introduce yourself and how you use the library in chat first if you want to contribute pull requests". Sad that we had to go here, but aside from conference sprints we weren't really getting outside contribution anyway (which is also sad, but that's been the case a lot longer than AI has been around). #python #flask #opensource

Anthropic just introduced Claude Code Projects - with persistent shared memory across coding sessions and worker threads.
I think that makes another question increasingly important:
- Where should project memory actually live?
- In a conversation?
- In a database?
- In a vendor-specific memory layer?
Or in the project itself - versioned, reviewable and distributed with Git?
That's the direction I've been exploring with Keep the Why.

🤖 Et si on arrêtait de cacher que notre code est construit avec l'aide de l'IA ?
L'IA fait désormais partie du quotidien de nombreux développeurs.
Pourtant, lorsqu'on arrive sur un projet open source, il est souvent impossible de savoir comment elle a réellement été utilisée.
Pour écrire les specs ?
Pour générer le code ?
Pour faire la review ?
Et surtout : quel niveau d'expertise humaine était derrière tout ça ?
J'ai créé built with ai. pour rendre cette information explicite.
Le projet permet de générer un badge SVG à intégrer directement dans le README d'un projet, en déclarant simplement :
L'idée n'est pas de déterminer si utiliser l'IA est « bien » ou « mal ».
L'idée est beaucoup plus simple : assumer et documenter son usage.
Le projet est open source, et les contributions / retours sont évidemment les bienvenus.

FeedEcho exists because I used and loved Echofeed, the little service that cross-posted your RSS feed to Mastodon, Bluesky, and more. When it was announced that it was shutting down, I knew I would miss it, so I built a service inspired by it.
FeedEcho watches your RSS or Atom feed and sends new posts wherever you want: Mastodon, Bluesky, micro.blog, Matrix, Discord, email, or a plain webhook. Images and alt text come along, multi-image posts work on Mastodon and Bluesky.
It's open source if you want to self-host, and there's a paid hosted version at feedecho.net if you'd rather just point it at your feed and move on. Thanks, Echofeed, for the inspiration and the years of quiet, reliable service.
