I've just moved a number of large files that I do not use often from an active partition to a backup partition.

What is odd is that the access speed to the active partition has increased significantly. Since that should not be possible, that must have to do with the manner in which the active partition is accessed by the Android operating system. Some research required.

@eniko To my mind, Luanti hits it just right, targeting low-spec hardware. Even an 8-year-old laptop with a weak Intel video chip will play it just fune. A #luanti server will run on a $5 US/mo server. #Voxelibre is the most fun #OpenSource game I've ever played, BTW.

Consider contributing to the already-existing Luanti community, instead of undertaking a new project that will likely take years to finish. They could use help with the most basic things, like cleaning up documentation, etc.

Consider advocating its inclusion into default #Linux installs, becoming the new Solitaire or Minesweeper.

I'm making a #browser #extension for #firefox is pretty cool!

But something that isn't listed anywhere, is how when you reach 10k users, all of the updates you make have to be manually reviewed by the #Mozilla #addon team.

Usually, I'd be fine with this, but how long do you think it took for an update that was just approved today?

Well, it took a little bit over 3 weeks for this one! With no position in queue whatsoever in the developer dashboard. It's quite a long timeframe, if there's a critical bug for example you need to be able to update fast!

Apparently itns because there's a huge amount of malicious vibe-coded #AI submissions. I wonder what could be done to improve the review times? (Because ranting is useless unless you have a solution in mind!)

Maybe increase team size? But that will cost lots of money. Use an AI to filter malicious submissions? But then you'd have people tricking it, and false positives. I don't really see a way...

Erster Post -- endlich.

Ich bin Andi, Geschäftsführer von ACNTCP aus Mannheim. Informationssicherheit und Datenschutz -- das ist mein Alltag.

Warum eine eigene Mastodon-Instanz? Ehrlich gesagt: weil ich's kann und weil ich's wollte. Das reicht mir als Begründung.

Die Instanz ist geschlossen, keine öffentliche Registrierung. Ich möchte die Kontrolle behalten wer dort aktiv ist. Wer Interesse hat, kann mich direkt ansprechen.

Dieses Konto wird halb beruflich, halb persönlich sein. NIS2, ISO 27001, Datenschutz -- aber auch was mich sonst noch beschäftigt. Ich bin kein Fan von Unternehmensaccounts die sich anfühlen wie automatisierte Pressemitteilungen.

Freue mich auf den Austausch hier.

I'm fascinated with fractal mathematics

>The Mandelbrot set (/ˈmændəlbroʊt, -brɒt/)[1][2] is a two-dimensional set that is defined in the complex plane as the complex numbers c {\displaystyle c} for which the function f c ( z ) = z 2 + c {\displaystyle f_{c}(z)=z^{2}+c} does not diverge to infinity when iterated starting at z = 0 {\displaystyle z=0}, i.e., for which the sequence f c ( 0 ) {\displaystyle f_{c}(0)}, f c ( f c ( 0 ) ) {\displaystyle f_{c}(f_{c}(0))}, etc., remains bounded in absolute value.[3]

Today I donated a few bucks to an open source project that I have fallen in love with.

I was a bit disheartened after searching around a bit to see many people discussing how they've never donated to an #opensource project, even if they use it daily.

So here's a gentle reminder: We think nothing of spending $20 a month to subscribe to a megacorp, so how about instead you take a minute to donate five bucks to an #OSS project you use and enjoy. If everyone did that, the impact would be huge.

Mein neuer bester Freund im Terminal? Die KI! 🐧💻

Ich muss es einfach mal sagen: Bei der Einrichtung und im Terminal hilft mir KI aktuell extrem weiter. Komplexe Befehle verstehen, Configs anpassen oder einfach mal nachfragen "Was macht dieser Flag eigentlich?" – das spart unglaublich viel Zeit und Nerven.

Aber Hand aufs Herz: Ein gewisses Grundverständnis bleibt Pflicht. Man darf nicht jeder Config und jedem Befehl blind trauen, denn unfehlbar ist die Technik leider noch nicht. Wer den Output versteht und kurz gegenprüft, hat aber das ultimative Power-Tool an der Hand. 🛠️

Nutzt ihr KI auch schon als „Live-Support“ direkt in der Konsole oder tippt ihr noch alles klassisch?

Easter test weekend, initial findings. 😎

On Fedora 44 Beta GNOME Edition, the file manager crashes every time I try to access my NAS. There are also frequent freezes with apps that weren’t included by default and were installed later.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS also comes with GNOME 50, and unlike Fedora, it already includes kernel 7.0, which is great—especially for the latest hardware. This beta also seems to run more smoothly and stably than Fedora’s beta.

However, it’s impossible to install or get Flatpaks to work, even though I installed the feature myself.

It was also absolutely impossible to install the Nextcloud client, neither as a Snap nor as a Flatpak. I couldn’t get AppImage to start, even after making it executable.

Nevertheless, both distributions already make a great impression and leave me wanting more as soon as they become stable. Ubuntu, in particular, has positively surprised me after many years; major strides have been made, whereas with Fedora, hardly any major changes are noticeable—they’re more under the hood. 👍

There is now a fork of #OnlyOffice
called Euro-Office.

A few times I’ve heard some people express doubts about whether OnlyOffice is truly #OpenSource. At first glance, the question seems easy to answer: OnlyOffice is released under the AGPLv3.

But the developers believe they’ve found a way to prevent forks:
https://www.onlyoffice.com/blog/2026/03/onlyoffice-flags-license-violations-in-euro-office-project-by-nextcloud-and-ionos

They write that the AGPLv3 allows for the addition of “additional conditions” to the license. However, Section 7 refers to “Additional permissions”:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html.en#license-text

“Conditions” is not the same as “permissions.”

If OnlyOffice were to prevail with its interpretation, then AGPLv3 would not be an open-source license.

"This Month in #KDELinux" brings the news that...

You should never deploy alpha software in production machines 😬! A systemd bug broke booting an updated system, a systemd update broke Discover, but the good news is everything has been sorted and hardened now.

On the plus side, KDE Linux users get friendlier feedback, better connectivity with Apple devices, and improved multi-language support.

#introduction

Hello Mastodon ! Je suis nouveau sur Mastodon. Je suis ingénieur informatique et chercheur en recherche opérationnelle. Je suis (grand) partisan d'#openSource et #scienceOuverte. Je m'intéresse à de nombreux sujets mais surtout #durabilité #vieprivee #lowtech #epistemologie.

Je suis un peu un fan de #typesetting (composition d'après Wikipédia) donc j'utilise #LaTeX (ou #TeX), et #Typst. Je suis responsable de deux paquets Typst: glossarium et algorithmique.

J'ai du temps libre avant le début de mon prochain travail, donc je parcours lentement ma pile de projets personnels...

Au plaisir de rencontrer des gens ici!

#introduction

Hi Mastodon! I'm Pascal and new to Mastodon. I'm a computer engineer and a researcher in operations research. I'm a (fairly) strong advocate for #openSource and #openScience. I'm interested in many topics but mostly #sustainability #privacy #lowtech #epistemology.

I'm a bit of a #typesetting nerd, so I #LaTeX (or #TeX), and #Typst. I maintain two Typst packages: glossarium and algorithmic.

I have some free time before my next work contract starts, so I have been slowly going through my personal projects backlog...

Looking forward to meet people here!

Google Gemma 4 Apache 2.0 debate heats up: open weights ≠ open source. You cant verify or modify the model itself, only use the weights. As one Mastodon user put it: Its impossible to verify or modify an open weights model. The Apache 2 license is window dressing. The open source AI definition debate continues. 🤖⚖️

For hackathon.lu, I was initially unsure what my main project would be, but I ultimately decided to focus on implementing the future GCVE BCP-10.

GCVE-BCP-10: Improved Common Platform Enumeration for GCVE

The idea is combine it with the cpe-guesser and have a registry to facilitate the interaction with the CPE values to handle vendor and product references.

varias personas en #Cuba reportan que de repente no tienen acceso a su #WhatsApp

no se para que la gente sobre todo los cubanos usan WhatsApp, los de WhatsApp se la pasan secuestrandote el chat y bloqueandote acceso hasta que actualices y cosas asi, de la nada, y ahora esto, de repente pierdes acceso total a todos tus chats y mensajes mandados de la noche a la mañana

porque una cosa es que no te deje mandar mensajes más y no se conecte más y otra que completamente te tome la lista de chats y mensajes y no te deje leerlos, no se dan cuenta que no tienen control alguno sobre sus propios mensajes??? mientras tanto en Delta Chat tú eres el dueño de tu información y nadie puede privarte de acceso a tus mensajes, puedes irte a vivir offline a una cueva y vas a poder seguir leyendo tus mensajes

tus mensajes viven en tu bolsillo, no en "la nube" de un monopolio mal intencionado

For real, many people asked me for their smaller and mid-sized environments, how to handle remote syslog of their nodes. I had some ideas (some of you may have already found my Rust interpretation of this) but I think having this included in #PegaProx as a centralized management interface makes more sense.

So, PegaProx comes with an own syslog server (ipv4/ipv6, udp/tcp, encrypted/unencrypted support) and is wired to the interface within the resources tab. Providing a quick overview of all your logs and filter options. The next thing is wiring it to the notification system of PegaProx, allowing automated alerting. Might be nice to quickly identify when the quorum got lost - all built-in into PegaProx!

@rickf @tinker correct. There are basically 3 alternatives to MS Office in the #opensource market atm:

1. Nextcloud based: think OpenDesk, Euro-Office, the Good Cloud, office.eu, IONOS and many others. Choice of Collabora or OnlyOffice. Some with Nextcloud Talk, others like Opendesk with OpenTalk.
2. LaSuite based: the French gov suite, via Mosa.cloud, lasuite.coop, Linagora and Openburo.eu as a collective. Self built, very lean apps.
3. Alternative offering: like Proton with their own suite.

Google released Gemma 4 open AI models under the Apache 2.0 license—a significant shift from the previous custom license. Apache 2.0 is one of the most permissive open source licenses, meaning genuine commercial freedom for self-hosters and developers. While competitors keep tightening their licenses, Google is making a genuine open source play in the model space.

European companies Ionos and Nextcloud forked OnlyOffice into Euro-Office for digital sovereignty—and OnlyOffice is furious. The GitHub readme claims OnlyOffice is a difficult company to collaborate with. OnlyOffices AGPL license makes forking legal but the public spat reveals the fault lines in European open source governance. When your sovereignty pitch is we forked it because the original maintainers are hard to work with, thats not sovereignty—thats community breakdown.

systemd contributor faces death threats over an optional birthDate field. No verification, no surveillance—just an empty optional database field for distros to optionally comply with age verification laws. The Linux community went from code review to doxxing and death threats in 24 hours. Open source governance requires disagreement, but the bridge from code review to death threats shouldnt exist. Toxicity is the real vulnerability.

Thanks to all the other OpenSSH contributors too!

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' OpenSSH to 10.3p1 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/32001

GitHub's Continuous Integration checks passed, it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

I also submitted an article to undeadly.org but I will let one of the other editors give it a second look and publish it in case I introduced any errors (I mean, I know I did inadvertently, but I think I corrected them all? Hopefully!)

This part of the release notes:

" sshd(8): fix condition intoduced in openssh 10.2p1 stable branch
here a PAM module that changed the requested username between
SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST messages during authentication could
confuse the PAM stack and let it proceed with a different
understanding of the active username than the rest of sshd.
Reported by Mike Damm."

Makes me wonder if that maybe fixes this which was recently reported: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/73757 (so next I guess I will update that Trac issue and see if that user can test 10.3p1 and see if that resolves their issue).

Regardless, awesome work! Thank you again!

Vim's Partial Patch Problem: 14+ Heap Overflows Left Behind After CVE-2026-28421

One (int) cast was fixed. At least 14 identical truncations remain across ex_getln.c, memline.c, terminal.c, session.c and others.

size_t → (int) cast silently truncates values > INT_MAX → undersized alloc → heap buffer overflow (CWE-190 → CWE-122).

Trigger vectors: swap files, undo files, session files, terminal output — all accessible via shared filesystems and repos.

Vim's lead maintainer closed the GitHub Security Advisory and threatened to ban the reporter.

The fix is trivial: remove the redundant (int) casts. alloc() already accepts size_t.

I was bad... so damn bad! I went against my own principles! Out of curiosity, I broke my sacred vow NEVER to use something like artificial intelligence. Especially not for meaningless stuff, like most people use it for.

But then... I was looking for a new profile picture for myself.... and then... I got curious to see if all this artificial intelligence hype had any substance... if this AI is really as good in certain areas as many claim... so I tried out an image AI for the first time... and this is what came out: me as a UNIX Viking... I’m ashamed! So, judge me for my weakness!

But on the other hand: it does kind of look cool, doesn’t it?

Jahresplan für mehr digitale Souveränität!

Monat April 2026

Backup & digitale Notfallvorsorge

Resilienz beginnt dort, wo Daten nicht mehr vom Zufall abhängen
Es gibt Monate, die sich nach Technik anfühlen. Der April gehört nicht dazu. Der April ist ein Monat der Resilienz. Ein Monat, in dem es nicht darum geht, das nächste Tool zu testen oder den hundertsten Workflow zu optimieren, sondern darum, eine Frage zu beantworten, die wir alle viel zu lange vor uns herschieben: Was passiert eigentlich, wenn plötzlich alles weg ist?

Diese Frage stellt sich niemand gerne. Sie ist unangenehm. Sie riecht nach Paranoia, nach dem Gefühl, man müsste sich auf Katastrophen vorbereiten, die wahrscheinlich nie eintreten werden. Aber dann gibt es diese Momente. Der Laptop startet eines Morgens einfach nicht mehr. Das Smartphone rutscht aus der Tasche und ist weg, vielleicht im Zug, vielleicht auf der Straße, vielleicht für immer. Ein Wasserschaden in der Wohnung macht nicht nur Möbel unbrauchbar, sondern auch das Gerät, auf dem alles war. Oder es trifft einen ganz anders: Diese eine Schadsoftware, die sich einschleicht und plötzlich jedes angeschlossene Laufwerk verschlüsselt, als wäre jemand gekommen und hätte einen Schlüssel herumgedreht, den nur er besitzt.

🚀Erfolgreiche Chemnitzer Linux-Tage am vergangenen Wochenende

Open Source & Linux sind längst im Mainstream angekommen – das war deutlich spürbar. Für uns war die Messe ein voller Erfolg 💪

Viele tolle Gespräche, neue Kontakte und spannende Impulse! Highlight: der Workshop von unserem Kollege Thomas Liske zum Thema „Internet-Routing ohne Default Gateway“, gemeinsam mit dem DD-IX e.V.

Danke an alle für den Austausch 🙌
