I bloggered a post.

It's about shortcomings of FLOSS and a possible next thing.

My Next Project Won't be FLOSS:
https://pointless.one/my-next-project-wont-be-floss/

#FLOSS #FOSS #FreeSoftware #OpenSource #GNU #GPL #OSI #MIT #BSD #BTPL #PolyForm

First, accept that no matter what phrase you use — atomic vs. immutable — someone will claim you’re using the wrong term. There’s still disagreement in the tech community about the correct terminology for this type of Linux distro.

That said, for the average consumer (home users — most of you reading this), these types of distros are still “new.” By new, I mean they are still establishing themselves. Having said that, if your overall goal is to have a Linux distro that is rock-solid, automatically updates itself, can automatically recover itself, and you mostly just want a basic system — meaning you primarily plan to browse the web, work with documents, stream movies and music, and print or scan files — then an immutable/atomic distro will be fine for you. You should also be comfortable accepting that most apps will come from the app store (Flatpak) rather than installing them manually.

Yes, you can technically add layers to such distributions and customize them to your heart’s desire. You can geek out just as much as you would on any other system. But understand that this requires extra effort, and it’s generally not the primary focus of these systems. The main goal is for users who want a “set it and forget it” system that just works out of the box with a GUI (graphic user interface)

Assuming you are coming from Microsoft Windows, you should first decide between KDE Plasma and GNOME. I recommend KDE Plasma, as it will be the more visually familiar and include the most easily found, easiest-to-use graphical interface settings and options — keeping everything simple and “point-and-click.” Out of the box, it will look closest to Windows 10 or Windows 7. If you prefer a layout more like Windows 8, while still offering many easy-to-use settings (though fewer than KDE), GNOME would be a better choice. GNOME may also be a better option if you’re using a device with a touchscreen, just as Windows 8 was better suited for touchscreens.

Next, it all comes down to what you're looking for from your system.

I am digging through my old work from Linode and Akamai to build a new portfolio, and I stumbled on this illustration I did to announce that Linode had one-click app deployments.

A vibrant, whimsical illustration set against a sky backdrop with clouds and a sun. In the scene 1. A stylized blue whale, representing Docker, floats on the water. 2. On the whale, a butler dressed in a suit and carrying a sommelier's napkin on his forearm, symbolizing the Linux tool 'Jenkins'. 3. A torch with a flame, representing Prometheus, burns on the tip of the Docker whale's nose. 4. A flag with "LEMP" written on it, which stands for Linux, Nginx, MySQL, and PHP, a common web stack for web servers. It is attached to a buoy that bears the NGINX logo. 5. A stylized sun with rays, representing the open-source community's energy and collaboration. 6. The Grafana logo 7. A small dolphin creature, symbolizing MySQL, is playing by balancing the Grafana logo on its nose. 8. Paper airplanes flying in the sky, which represented ShadowSocks, a VPN tool used at the time to bypass the great firewall of China. The overall theme conveys a sense of unity, innovation, and collaboration within the open-source ecosystem.

I've just installed OpenCloud, and it's pretty good. A new self hosted open source cloud sync server. It's still lacking features and a bit basic, but the backend is written in Go, and the front in Vue / Typescript, so it's really light and snappy - compared to similar apps written with PHP.

https://opencloud.eu/en/features

I have it running alongside Nextcloud, and haven't decided yet if I'm replacing it. Though, the reason I went looking for alternatives anyway, is because Nextcloud has been feeling more and more bloated and sluggish.

I hope it's only a temporary glitch, but suddenly the UBS home banking login page does not seem to work on Firefox anymore (it works with Chrome). This also happens with a fresh Firefox install (no addons, mods, anything).

If this is true, then this means that from now on, the largest Swiss bank only allows customers to use their home banking with either their proprietary app (which of course requires Google Play Protection and does not work on Graphene OS), or with a hardware token plus a US-megacorp controlled browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari).

The EU, as well as every country in the world, should be taking seriously the importance of sovereign systems for communicating and disseminating information.

The ActivityPub protocol is proven and makes many platforms compatible and accessible to each other, allowing for effective information sharing and communication.

The only reason many people do not leave X is that many important services and public figures remain on that platform. Therefore, if countries truly care about digital sovereignty and resilience, they should adopt and promote the use of open source platforms and networks based on the ActivityPub protocol, whether it is Mastodon, Pleroma, Vebinet, or another platform.

No one tells you just how much work goes into a small YouTube channel. For me, Terminal Tilt is a labor of love, but it is a massive undertaking:

Research and Writing: This is the largest portion. Not just diving into topics, but finding ones truly worth your time.

Filming and Privacy: I have chosen a "headless" approach (screen-only). It respects my privacy and helps me manage the workload, but it still requires a lot of setup.

Voiceovers: This is the hardest part for me. Managing social anxiety while recording is a constant hurdle, but it is one I am getting better at with every video.

Editing: I am currently spending 8–12 hours per video (since last video). As I learn more techniques, the complexity grows, but so does the quality.

The small Stuff: Learning GIMP for thumbnails and managing promotion. Those little things really do add up.

I am disabled and currently navigating the long road to SSDI approval. My goal is to grow Terminal Tilt into something sustainable, a way to support myself while advocating for ethical, #NoAI, and #deGoogled technology. I am taking this seriously and I am having a lot of fun building this.

If you value independent, human-made tech content, there are a few ways to help keep the terminal open:

I self-host some things. I outsource others. Not because one is morally superior, but because defaults matter.

Convenience scales faster than consent.
Data outlives intent.
And “free” usually means “opaque”.

I’m interested in systems that respect users by design, fail in understandable ways, and let you leave without drama.

That applies to software. And to platforms.

You can think what you want about Apple, its business model, and its crazy pricing policy and rip-offs—I'm definitely not a fan either—but one thing fascinates me: since November, I've had an iPad Mini 7 Cellular so I can read the news, watch the occasional YouTube video, or quickly and conveniently reply to an email while on the go or in bed at night.

Very compact, very practical, it fits perfectly in my small shoulder bag or in my smartphone holder next to my bed.

But what impresses me most is the incredible battery life! With my moderate use, the battery actually lasts a whole week. Remarkable. As are the performance, the pen support (great for editing and signing documents!) and the rather unique form factor. And that also eases my conscience a little, knowing that there is no free alternative. Unfortunately.

I hacked together a Python + GTK project to inhibit/uninhibit sleep via a simple GUI.

This was put together in 3 hours and I am very proud of this janky code.

My blog goes into the background for this as well as its implementation.

Every time I cancel a bloated SaaS subscription and replace it with a lightweight, open-source tool or a 50-line script I wrote myself, I feel my soul heal a little bit.

We over-complicate our workflows because we've been sold the idea that professional means expensive. Usually, it just means vendor lock-in.

This week we're spending some time looking into governance models for #opensource , e.g., foundations that ensure the ongoing funding and development of software.

Famous ones include Signal Foundation, Linux Foundation, Mozilla Foundation, Blender Foundation, etc.

Any good examples we should look into? Especially if they're less well known but have managed to be resilient and keep the software relatively free of corporate influence. Thank you in advance!

How to absolutely *not* do #OpenSource: require people to commit to work on other issues with your project in order to file bugs. So, sorry, #Typer, I won't be filing bugs. You figure out how you messed up your release yourself.

Also, please don't use #FastAPI. They are clearly bothered by the fact that people dare use their projects and waste their precious time with support requests.

Hello dear Fediversers,

My students want to improve their home lab backups and have come up with the idea of storing their offsite backups with each other instead of in the cloud.
My question is, does anyone know of any software or solutions for this? It doesn't have to be open source, but it would be best if it were. The option to encrypt the backups is not essential, but would be preferable.

Please boost.

Many thanks for any tips.

For a project to be truly #OpenSource (not to mention #FreeSoftware), it really needs to:

1. Have a *public* issue tracker that enables you to browse and search through issue reports *without* having to create an account.

2. Accept issue reports, with no strings attached. Yes, expecting registration is fine. Yes, expecting some effort to file a good bug report is fine. No, expecting people to ask permission, donate or otherwise put a lot of extra work to report a problem is not.

3. Do not close issue reports as "stale". Yes, it's fine to close a report if you really believe it was fixed, or if you asked for something and the user didn't reply for a long time. It's not fine to run a bot expecting users to jump every month so that the issue report that *you are ignoring* doesn't get closed.

If a project doesn't meet these, it's just a glorified throwaway code.

@mgorny You might have to redefine both #OpenSource and #FreeSoftware for that to be true : )

@mgorny
What @opensourceopenmind says.
This also shows, again, the separation between technically being open source as defined in the relevant definitions and the hidden social expectations / contracts behind the terms.

While I agree that a pure compliant publication of 3rd party notices and code packages or code could could be seen as "throaway code" or "throw it over the wall" publication by some, we also have to accept that this is still proper, compliant open source behavior.

Small to large troubles arising from the lack of skills and knowledge in navigating these hidden expectations and aligning them with your corporate interests and strategy is what I keep seeing regularly in my work.
This is a problem that we can and should also chalk up to the universities as there's virtually no useful standard curriculum content on the realities of the open source material that most graduates will see in their life past graduation.

Sometimes we try to juggle too much and the little things slip. Best we can do is reevaluate, reprioritize and retry.

Some regressions slipped into Rocinante recently and broke some template functions. These have been fixed now in GitHub.

Thank you for your patience. Even the best intentions sometimes have unexpected consequences.

Lots to love about #Codeberg right now.

#Zig moved to it. LibreWolf is using it. Many #Fediverse projects use it including the FEP process. #Fedora set up their own Forgejo instance (the underlying software for Codeberg).

Now #Gentoo is switching from GitHub to Codeberg!

I've migrated most of my projects there as well.

Every one of these stories is a win for #OpenSource and a middle finger to #Microslop, which is a win-win all around. 😊

thinking about foss stuff, and I know I've groused about licensing stuff before, and how I feel like my only way out is to just Parity7 everything and fall into obscurity but...

...I think we need a different movement around open source, with new terminology, that clarifies the intent and opens doors to more pro-social behavior and capabilities (up to and including the potential for "ethical licensing").

I've been spitballing the terms Common Software and Community Software. The core idea is that things that count as Community/Common Software can't enter the realm of the proprietary (so, strong copyleft a-la AGPL and Parity, virality not necessary). What's the difference from "Free Software"? We get rid of "freedom zero", aka "the freedom to run software for any purpose". Common Software licenses may have Non-Commercial clauses, Anti-Particular-Industry clauses (such as anti-MIC stuff), etc.

I think "freedom zero" was a grave mistake. I get where it came from--a desire to remove discrimination--but what it resulted in was a hijacking of Free Software by the corporate "Open Source" wing to exploit an otherwise healthy community of people openly sharing their creations... for an enormous profit that we can't even quantify right now.

We need a strong return to copyleft, and we need to gather together and grow its existing ecosystem, away from the MIT/BSD poison that our world has turned towards.

Your thoughts are welcome on this. I want to have a conversation about this stuff and maybe eventually record all this in a longer-form blog post. If you know folks who have had similar thoughts please link them so we can chat, too.
