🇪🇺 Ist „Buy European“ ein sinnvolles Konzept, um digitale Souveränität in der öffentlichen Beschaffung zu verankern?

🎤 Darüber haben wir auf dem IT-Vergabetag vom DVNW Anfang Juni diskutiert.

Auf dem Panel waren sich von Google bis OSBA alle einig, dass „Buy European“ NICHT zum Ziel führt, denn digitale Souveränität wird nicht durch Abschottung erreicht.

    💡 Wir finden: „Open Source First“ trägt deutlich mehr zur digitalen Souveränität in der Verwaltung bei, als ein pauschaler Ausschluss von außereuropäischen Unternehmen.

    Denn Open Source ist global, transparent und kann unabhängig betrieben werden. 🌍

    Auch mit Open Source kann lokale Wertschöpfung gestärkt werden, z.B. indem für Betrieb, Hosting, Anpassungen oder Weiterentwicklungen lokale Anbieter genutzt werden. Also „think global, act local“!

                            RT @sudoingX: Die USA haben ihre besten KI-Chips nach China gesperrt, um das Land in der KI-Entwicklung um Jahre zurückzuwerfen. Ich glaube, dies wird als eines der törichtesten Eigentore in der Geschichte der Technologie in die Annalen eingehen. Hier ist, was tatsächlich geschah. Abgeschnitten von Nvidia hatte China zwei Optionen: aufgeben oder eigene Lösungen entwickeln. Sie entschieden sich für den zweiten Weg. Und diese Woche liegt das Ergebnis vor. Meituan, im Wesentlichen das „Doordash“ Chinas – ein Food-Delivery-Unternehmen – hat gerade ein KI-Modell vorgestellt, das mit den besten Lösungen aus dem Silicon Valley konkurrieren kann. Es heißt LongCat-2.0 und verfügt über 1,6 Billionen Parameter. Das Modell hatte bereits zwei Monate lang unauffällig an der Spitze des größten KI-Marktplatzes gelegen, unter einem Codenamen, von dem die meisten Menschen nicht wussten, dass es chinesischen Ursprungs war. Meituan gibt an, dass das gesamte Modell auf inländischen chinesischen Chips trainiert wurde – ohne Nvidia im gesamten Prozess. Anschließend stellten sie es der Öffentlichkeit zur Verfügung: Open Source, kostenlos zum Download für jeden. Setzen Sie sich mit dieser Tatsache auseinander: Sie versuchen, einen Rivalen von den besten Werkzeugen zu isolieren, woraufhin dieser seine eigene Produktionsstätte aufbaut und dann die Baupläne der gesamten Welt kostenlos zur Verfügung stellt. Das Verbot hat China nicht aufgehalten, sondern dazu gezwungen, unabhängig zu werden – das eine Ergebnis, das Sie am wenigsten erwartet haben. Sie können einen Chip blockieren. Sie können jedoch nicht ein Land au…

                              📚✍️ Calibre 9.11 a fost lansat! Managerul de e-book-uri aduce export HTML pentru adnotări și marcaje 🚀📖

                              Pentru pasionații de lectură digitală și utilizatorii de dispozitive e-reader care se bazează pe Calibre ca pe instrumentul suprem de gestionare a librăriilor de cărți electronice, versiunea 9.11 aduce o funcție extrem de utilă, cerută de mult timp de către utilizatorii avansați și cercetători: exportul nativ în format HTML al adnotărilor.

                              Calibre continuă să evolueze rapid ca o aplicație open-source robustă și cross-platform (Linux, Windows, macOS), iar acest nou release se concentrează pe flexibilitatea datelor salvate de utilizator în timpul lecturii.

                              Iată principalele noutăți incluse în Calibre 9.11:

                              🔹 Export HTML pentru adnotări și sublinieri:
                              Cea mai importantă adăugire din versiunea 9.11 este posibilitatea de a exporta toate notele, marcajele (bookmarks) și sublinierile făcute în interiorul cărților electronice într-un fișier unificat de tip HTML. Această funcție este ideală pentru studenți, scriitori sau profesioniști care extrag citate și idei, permițându-le să vizualizeze sau să integreze cu ușurință adnotările în alte programe de productivitate sau pe site-uri web personale, păstrând formatarea textului original.

                              🔹 Îmbunătățiri pentru E-book Viewer (Vizualizatorul integrat):
                              Modulul intern de citire din Calibre a primit o serie de optimizări de finețe:

                              S-a îmbunătățit viteza de randare a paginilor în fișierele complexe de tip EPUB 3 care conțin elemente multimedia sau tabele mari.

                              Navigarea prin tastatură și gesturi în modul ecran complet (fullscreen) a fost rafinată pentru o experiență mai fluidă pe laptopurile cu ecrane tactile sau pe tabletele hibrid care rulează Linux.

                              🔹 Actualizări ale motorului de conversie și corecturi de metadate:

                              Sistemul de descărcare automată a metadatelor (copertă, descriere, autori) a fost ajustat pentru a gestiona mai bine modificările recente de API de pe marile platforme precum Google Books sau Goodreads.

                              Motorul de conversie a documentelor (ex: din PDF în EPUB sau AZW3) a primit patch-uri pentru a procesa mai corect fonturile încorporate și stilurile CSS personalizate.

                              Calibre 9.11 își consolidează astfel poziția de lider de necontestat în nișa sa, oferind utilizatorilor independență totală asupra modului în care își consumă și își gestionează colecțiile de cărți. Noua versiune este deja disponibilă pentru actualizare și poate fi instalată pe majoritatea distribuțiilor Linux prin intermediul scriptului oficial de instalare sau prin pachetele de tip Flatpak de pe Flathub.

Această suită cuprinde sute de aplicații, biblioteci și plugin-uri care definesc experiența completă a desktop-ului KDE Plasma. Fiind un release axat exclusiv pe stabilitate și finisare, accentul a fost pus pe eliminarea crash-urilor raportate de utilizatori și pe optimizarea performanței de zi cu zi.

                                                                                                  Iată principalele îmbunătățiri aduse în ecosistemul de aplicații KDE:

                                                                                                  Dolphin a primit corecturi importante legate de manipularea corectă a rețelelor Samba (SMB) și a partajărilor de fișiere de mari dimensiuni. De asemenea, a fost rezolvată o problemă vizuală care bloca uneori previzualizările miniaturilor (thumbnails) pentru anumite formate video.

                                                                                                  Utilitarul de arhivare Ark oferă acum o stabilitate sporită la deschiderea și extragerea arhivelor de tip .tar.gz sau zip-urilor protejate prin parole complexe, eliminând închiderile intempetive ale aplicației.

                                                                                                  🔹 Kdenlive și Utilitarele Multimedia:

                                                                                                  Puternicul editor video open-source Kdenlive beneficiază de patch-uri cruciale care previn crash-urile în timpul randării proiectelor 4K ce folosesc accelerare hardware pe plăci grafice AMD și Nvidia. Sincronizarea audio/video pe timeline a fost și ea rafinată.

                                                                                                  Playerul media Haruna și vizualizatorul de imagini Gwenview au primit optimizări pentru sesiunile Wayland, afișând corect culorile și profilele ICC pe monitoarele cu suport HDR.

                                                                                                  🔹 Suita de Productivitate (Kontact & KMail):
                                                                                                  Utilizatorii care depind de KMail, KOrganizer și suita Kontact pentru managementul e-mailurilor și al calendarelor vor observa o viteză crescută de sincronizare cu serverele Exchange și IMAP. Au fost rezolvate bug-uri vechi legate de indexarea textelor și căutarea rapidă în arhivele masive de mesaje.

                                                                                                  🔹 Kate (Editorul de Text Avansat):

Noile pachete sunt trimise deja către managerii de depozite ai distribuțiilor rolling release (cum ar fi Arch Linux sau openSUSE Tumbleweed) și vor ajunge foarte curând pe toate sistemele compatibile.

                                                                                                    Echipa de dezvoltare din spatele OpenVPN, una dintre cele mai utilizate și de încredere soluții open-source pentru crearea de rețele private virtuale (VPN) din lume, a anunțat oficial lansarea versiunii 2.7.5. Acest release are un caracter critic, fiind axat aproape în întregime pe securitate, și repară nu mai puțin de șapte vulnerabilități (CVE-uri) descoperite recent în codul sursă.

                                                                                                    Deoarece OpenVPN este o componentă de bază în securizarea infrastructurilor enterprise, a serverelor de cloud și a conexiunilor private pentru milioane de utilizatori, această actualizare este considerată obligatorie.

                                                                                                    Iată detaliile principale despre problemele rezolvate în OpenVPN 2.7.5:

                                                                                                    🔹 Remedierea a 7 vulnerabilități de securitate:
                                                                                                    Actualizarea închide mai multe portițe care ar fi putut fi exploatate de actori malițioși. Printre cele șapte vulnerabilități remediate se numără:

                                                                                                    Breșe de tip Denial of Service (DoS): Atacatorii puteau trimite pachete de date special modificate către un server OpenVPN pentru a provoca prăbușirea instantanee a serviciului (crash), blocând astfel accesul tuturor utilizatorilor legitimi.

                                                                                                    Scurgeri potențiale de memorie și execuție de cod: Anumite erori logice în gestionarea buffer-ului și a sesiunilor de autentificare au fost corectate pentru a preveni citirea neautorizată a datelor din memorie sau manipularea fluxului de execuție.

                                                                                                    🔹 Corecturi specifice pentru procesul de rulare:
                                                                                                    Pe lângă patch-urile pentru CVE-uri, versiunea 2.7.5 aduce optimizări în gestionarea certificatelor SSL/TLS și îmbunătățește stabilitatea conexiunilor atunci când se folosesc protocoale de autentificare complexe în medii enterprise. De asemenea, au fost rezolvate mici bug-uri care afectau reconectarea automată a clienților în cazul unor micro-întreruperi ale rețelei.

                                                                                                    🔹 Compatibilitate și actualizare:
                                                                                                    OpenVPN 2.7.5 păstrează compatibilitatea deplină înapoi cu versiunile anterioare din seria 2.x, ceea ce înseamnă că administratorii de rețea pot actualiza serverele fără a perturba configurările clienților existenți.

                                                                                                    ⚠️ Recomandare fermă: Având în vedere numărul mare de vulnerabilități adresate în acest release, administratorii de sistem și utilizatorii care rulează propriile servere VPN sunt sfătuiți să aplice acest upgrade imediat.

                                                                                                    Pachetele actualizate au început deja să fie distribuite în depozitele oficiale ale marilor distribuții Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat, Arch Linux etc.) și sunt disponibile pentru descărcare direct de pe site-ul oficial al proiectului OpenVPN.

                                                                                                          So I built a tool that flags suspicious patterns before you run `npm install`: blocklisted packages, typosquats, missing hashes, `postinstall` scripts that fetch/execute.

                                                                                                          One known gap: the typosquat check skips scoped packages (`@org/name`) ; comparing them against unscoped names threw too many false positives, so `@anguler/core` slips through.

                                                                                                          Anyone solved scoped-name matching cleanly?

                                                                                                                                                                                                        O schimbare importantă se pregătește pentru viitoarele versiuni ale distribuției Fedora. Suita de stocare Stratis, soluția inovatoare de gestionare a volumelor de disc dezvoltată de Red Hat, va fi integrată direct în interfața grafică a instalatorului Anaconda, permițând utilizatorilor să configureze această tehnologie avansată încă din faza de instalare a sistemului de operare.

                                                                                                                                                                                                        Până acum, deși Stratis era disponibil în Fedora, configurarea sa ca partiție de boot sau sistem de fișiere principal trebuia realizată manual, din linia de comandă, un proces destul de tehnic și greu accesibil utilizatorilor obișnuiți.

                                                                                                                                                                                                        Iată de ce această integrare reprezintă un pas mare înainte:

                                                                                                                                                                                                        🔹 Ce este Stratis și cu ce seamănă?
                                                                                                                                                                                                        Stratis este un demon de stocare (storage daemon) care își propune să aducă funcționalitățile avansate din sisteme precum ZFS sau Btrfs (cum ar fi instantaneele/snapshots, alocarea dinamică a spațiului sau thin provisioning, și extinderea rapidă a pool-urilor) în zona sistemelor de fișiere tradiționale din Linux. Stratis funcționează ca un strat de management peste tehnologiile existente din kernel: XFS (pentru sistemul de fișiere), LVM (pentru volumul de date) și dm-thin / dm-cache.

                                                                                                                                                                                                        🔹 Configurare simplă prin Anaconda:
                                                                                                                                                                                                        Odată cu această actualizare, ecranul de partiționare avansată din Anaconda va include o opțiune nativă pentru a crea un „Stratis Pool”. Utilizatorii vor putea selecta mai multe unități de stocare (SSD-uri/HDD-uri), le vor putea grupa într-un pool comun și vor putea genera volume logice dintr-o interfață grafică curată, fără a mai atinge terminalul.

                                                                                                                                                                                                        🔹 Avantajele utilizării Stratis la instalare:

                                                                                                                                                                                                        Scalabilitate dinamică: Spațiul de stocare nu mai este blocat rigid la o anumită dimensiune fizică. Volumele cresc automat pe măsură ce adaugi date, utilizând un concept de „stocare virtuală virtualizată”.

                                                                                                                                                                                                        Instantanee (Snapshots) rapide: Poți crea puncte de restaurare instantanee pentru sistemul tău, un lucru extrem de util înainte de a face actualizări majore de sistem sau experimente software.

                                                                                                                                                                                                        Monitorizare automată: Stratis se ocupă în fundal de optimizarea scrierilor și detectarea problemelor de alocare a spațiului.

                                                                                                                                                                                                        Această decizie reflectă strategia pe termen lung a celor de la Red Hat și Fedora de a oferi o alternativă puternică, modulară și modernă la sistemul Btrfs (care este în prezent cel implicit în Fedora Workstation), oferind administratorilor de sistem și utilizatorilor avansați mai multă flexibilitate direct de la prima pornire a calculatorului.

Gestionare mult mai sigură și stabilă a actualizărilor de firmware pe Linux 💻⚡Proiectul open-source fwupd — utilitarul de bază folosit în Linux pentru actualizarea automată și sigură a firmware-ului componentelor hardware (de la BIOS/UEFI, la SSD-uri, mouși, tastaturi și hub-uri USB) — a primit o nouă actualizare majoră: versiunea 2.1.6. Această iterație se concentrează pe rafinarea motorului intern de detecție și pe eliminarea unor erori ce puteau bloca procesul de scriere a codului pe dispozitivele conectate.Iată principalele îmbunătățiri introduse în fwupd 2.1.6:🔹 Gestionare îmbunătățită a erorilor la scriere:Actualizarea aduce un plus de siguranță în momentele critice ale rescrierii firmware-ului. Procesul este acum capabil să intercepteze mult mai precis micro-întreruperile de comunicare cu dispozitivul sau instabilitățile de tensiune de pe magistralele USB, prevenind eșecurile catastrofale care ar putea lăsa un periferic nefuncțional (starea de brick).🔹 Suport extins pentru hardware modern:Fwupd 2.1.6 extinde baza de date cu noi profile de identificare (GUID-uri) pentru o gamă largă de componente de ultimă generație lansate de producători mari precum Dell, Lenovo, HP sau Intel. De asemenea, a fost optimizată interacțiunea cu dispozitivele ce folosesc protocoale speciale de stocare de tip NVMe și Thunderbolt.🔹 Optimizări pentru daemon-ul de fundal și interfețe grafice:Consum redus de resurse: Serviciul de fundal (fwupd.service) scanează acum magistralele sistemului într-un mod mai eficient, reducând numărul de treziri ale procesorului (CPU wakeups) atunci când calculatorul se află pe baterie.Integrare mai curată cu magazinele de aplicații: S-au rezolvat problemele de sincronizare din cauza cărora manageri grafici precum GNOME Software sau KDE Discover raportau uneori eronat succesul sau eșecul unei actualizări de firmware încapsulate în capsule UEFI.Prin parteneriatul extins cu serviciul LVFS (Linux Vendor Firmware Service), fwupd continuă să fie un pilon indispensabil pentru securitatea ecosistemului Linux, permițând utilizatorilor să își păstreze sistemele protejate împotriva vulnerabilităților hardware fără a părăsi sistemul de operare. Versiunea 2.1.6 va fi integrată rapid în depozitele marilor distribuții Linux în perioada următoare.

Vine cu Linux Kernel 7.0.14 și scriptul archinstall 4.4 🚀💾Echipa de dezvoltare din spatele celebrei distribuții rolling release Arch Linux a publicat oficial instantaneul (snapshot-ul) ISO dedicat lunii iulie 2026. Concepută ca un punct de pornire actualizat pentru noile instalări, această imagine încorporează cele mai proaspete pachete de sistem, scutindu-i pe utilizatori de descărcarea a gigabiți de update-uri imediat după configurare.Iată principalele noutăți incluse în imaginea ISO archlinux-2026.07.01-x86_64.iso:🔹 Propulsat de Linux Kernel 7.0.14:Noul ISO vine echipat direct din fabrică cu stabilul Linux Kernel 7.0.14. Acest lucru garantează un suport extins și stabil pentru componentele hardware de ultimă generație, optimizări de securitate de tip upstream (inclusiv protecții native împotriva exploit-urilor recente precum DirtyClone) și o gestionare superioară a consumului de energie pe laptopurile moderne.🔹 Instalare mai simplă prin archinstall 4.4:Pentru utilizatorii care vor să evite configurarea manuală, lungă și complexă a sistemului de fișiere de la linia de comandă, utilitarul de instalare ghidată în modul text, archinstall, a fost actualizat la versiunea 4.4.Noua iterație archinstall 4.4 aduce:O logică internă îmbunătățită pentru detectarea și configurarea corectă a partițiilor de tip Btrfs și encodărilor criptate prin LUKS.Suport rafinat pentru instalarea și selectarea automată a driverelor proprietare Nvidia sau a profilelor moderne pentru monitoare cu rată de reîmprospătare ridicată sub Wayland.Corecturi importante de erori care preveneau crash-urile neșteptate ale scriptului în momentul configurării rețelei Wi-Fi sau a serverelor audio (PipeWire).🔹 Pachete proaspete și actualizări de securitate:Pe lângă kernel și installer, imaginea conține cele mai noi versiuni ale pachetelor de bază pentru rețea (systemd, iw, dhcpcd), compilatoare actualizate și utilitare de sistem esențiale pentru faza inițială de boot-up și mentenanță.💡 Notă pentru utilizatorii existenți: Dacă ai deja Arch Linux instalat pe calculatorul tău și funcționează normal, NU este nevoie să descarci acest ISO. Datorită modelului rolling release, poți aduce întregul sistem la zi (inclusiv noul kernel) rulând o singură comandă în terminal:Bashsudo pacman -Syu
