OBS Studio on FreeBSD now supports Browser Source.
I've ported the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) to FreeBSD and got the obs-browser plugin working with it. That brings Browser Source and Custom Browser Docks to FreeBSD: web overlays, alerts, chat widgets and the rest of the things modern streaming depends on.

If you run OBS on FreeBSD, feedback and bug reports are very welcome.

Munich: Open Source is back
After the end of LiMux, Munich is once again relying on open source. New projects and an OSPO show the city’s transformation.

"openEuler is Revamping the Development Experience of the Open Source Community With an AI Toolchain"

Nothing sells a monopoly like an apocalypse.
I call bullshit on OpenAI and Anthropic using extinction fears to sell rules that could price out their competition.
You don’t have to ban open source to kill it. Just make compliance, liability and approval so expensive that only Big Tech can participate.
Make the rules proportionate to the risks. I’m not interested in renting intelligence from a handful of companies forever.

I hope this isn't actually a disguised attack on Open Source.
"AI models that are partially or fully open-source have led to a major surge in disturbing CSAM material online."
"The rapid rise of open source models, particularly from China, has sparked a major debate, with CEOs of leading AI firms arguing they should be reined in, citing concerns over national security."

Me: Finds new interesting open-source project, wow!
Looks inside: Claude AI slop built in less than a week…
We need more good open-source software built by humans, not AI.
Open Source is freedom.
Open Source is sharing.
Open Source is being free from obligations.
It's making your own kind of music.
That Open Source must use GitHub is blasphemy.
That those who do Open Source must use specific tools or solutions is an abomination.
And when that tool belongs to a company, it's just another form of embrace, extend, extinguish.
Open Source is a license, a free one, that protects the software and/or the people.
Everything else is corporate in disguise.

I've had my Nitrokey 3C for a few months now (alongside a Nitrokey 3A NFC). It's been setup as a backup key, and I've generally been happy with it. My only nit/gripe is how "NFC" was removed from the casing. It seems like someone took a black marker and tried hiding it that way, as opposed to not having it printed in the first place. I would also like to have a mobile application to get 2FA codes from the physical key itself (like Yubikey does).
When getting this backup setup, I had managed to forget the pin to my main key (don't recommend that), so, I was able to set both up at the same time.

I'm keeping an eye on Linux phones, and especially on the RK3588S SoC and the upcming RK3668.

As you might know, I've been sounding the alarm about the "end of Android" for a while now. Yes, yes, I know, AOSP is top notch on mobile compared to Linux, and GrapheneOS is the way to go.
For now. As long as it lasts.
But I'm quite convinced that the frog started to boil long ago already. We cannot hold high hopes for a platform which is, ultimately, too much controlled by Google. I think time is ticking, and we urgently need Linux alternatives to mobile.
"Won't happen, all apps are for Android and iOS already" is a lame point of view. We wouldn't have LibreOffice if people were "Won't happen, everybody is using MS Office already". Just make it happen!

Been a few months since getting my backup @nitrokey (3C without NFC). Really happy overall, and the cover is super handy!
My only nit on this particular model is how "NFC" was poorly covered. It seems like it was covered with a marker, instead of just not being printed on at all.

"A developer frustrated by Adobe's cancellation fees used Anthropic's Opus 5.5 model and pure Rust to rewrite the entire Creative Cloud suite as open-source alternatives. The seven applications — PhotoCraft (Photoshop), VectorCraft (Illustrator), FilmCraft (Premiere Pro), EffectCraft (After Effects), LightCraft (Lightroom), DesignCraft (InDesign), and PdfCraft (Acrobat) — were built from scratch using clean-room reverse engineering without touching Adobe's original code. Within the first week, the GitHub repository garnered 24K stars.
The apps run natively on macOS, Windows, and Linux, with some capable of running in browsers via WebAssembly. Shortly after, the same team (ArtCraft) released three Microsoft Office clones: GridCraft (Excel), WordCraft (Word), and DeckCraft (PowerPoint). All three replicate the familiar UI structures — cell layouts, document editing, slide masters, animations — and are completely free, open-source, subscription-free, and written in Rust."

Guten Morgen
Ein Dateisystem bestimmt, wie Daten auf der Festplatte geordnet werden. Es sorgt dafür, dass jede Datei einen Platz bekommt und später wiedergefunden wird, ähnlich wie Regale in einer Bibliothek. Namen, Ordner und Rechte werden darin verwaltet, und das System merkt sich, welche Bereiche belegt sind. Viele kennen nur eine Variante, dabei gibt es mehrere mit eigenen Stärken. Manche setzen auf Robustheit, andere auf Snapshots oder auf Tempo. Im Alltag merkt man davon meist nichts, solange alles läuft. Erst bei der Installation kommt die Frage auf, welche man nimmt.

Encrypted Messages Can Be Read Without Breaking the Encryption. All It Takes Is a Second Device
In January 2020, the couple handed over their cell phones to the German police. The police were supposed to examine the phones and take photos of their daughter's messages.
After a few weeks with Debian Stable, I decided yesterday to switch to Debian Testing after all. On more modern computers, it really does make a difference whether I have kernel 6.3 or 7.2 available or can use significantly more up-to-date packages.
Last month I also played around with Debian Sid, and it was absolutely stable for me, though the constant updates—often several times a day—were annoying. So Testing is the perfect compromise for me.
Let me just say this: I still consider Fedora to be the best Linux distribution from a technical standpoint—the absolute gold standard. But unfortunately, in 2026, the world looks like this: Fedora = Red Hat = IBM = Big Tech = USA = Trump. And I absolutely don’t want to use anything from Trump’s shithole country anymore.

🚀 AI-Powered Open-Source Alternatives Are Taking on Microsoft Office
The developer behind ArtCraft, a project creating free alternatives to Adobe software, is expanding into Microsoft’s productivity suite with three new open-source applications built with AI assistance.
• GridCraft: An alternative to Microsoft Excel
• DeckCraft: An alternative to PowerPoint
• WordCraft: An alternative to Microsoft Word
The developer, Brandon Thomas, used Anthropic’s Claude to help build these applications and has made them available through GitHub.
The project reflects a growing trend: AI coding tools are enabling developers to build software that once required significantly larger teams and budgets.
Why this matters:
• Open-source alternatives could reduce software licensing costs.
• Cross-platform compatibility could give users more flexibility, including on Linux.
• AI-assisted development is lowering barriers to building complex applications.
• Subscription-based software vendors may face increasing competition from community-driven alternatives.
⚠️ These applications are still works in progress and are not yet full replacements for their commercial counterparts. Security, reliability, feature completeness, and compatibility will be critical to their long-term success.
As AI-assisted development continues to evolve, how will traditional software vendors differentiate themselves beyond features that independent developers can increasingly replicate?

⚠️ Dzisiaj podjąłem decyzję o usunięciu Bitwardena z mojego katalogu narzędzi (https://eteryu.space/narzedzia/katalog/).
Nie stoi za tym żaden medialny szum czy polityka, a czysto inżynieryjne realia. Projekt zmierza w stronę modelu komercyjnego, w którym nowe funkcje będą lądować wyłącznie w zamkniętych buildach. Oficjalne aplikacje ze sklepów i tak od zawsze zawierały telemetrię typu Firebase, a teraz to właśnie te skażone komercyjnie wersje stają się priorytetowym kierunkiem rozwoju.
Trzymanie tego narzędzia w zestawieniu opartym na bezkompromisowym, wolnym oprogramowaniu przestało być spójne.

YouTube Alternatives in 2026: Where to Publish, Where to Watch, and What Has Changed
For most people today, YouTube is an integral part of the Internet. It’s not as if it has no competition.
Ich betreibe RollenspielMonster neben Job und Alltag. Ich speichere nur das Nötigste: Nutzername und E-Mail-Adresse. Mehr nicht.
Heute kam ein Löschantrag. Er war ein vorformulierter Paragrafen-Marathon mit Art. 17, Art. 12, Art. 19, Fristsetzung und der Androhung von Beschwerde und „rechtlichen Schritten“. Ohne Nutzernamen und ohne Namen, nur mit einer Alias-Adresse.
Eine kurze Nachricht wie „Hey, bitte lösch mein Konto“ hätte gereicht. Das hätte ich in zwei Minuten und mit einem Lächeln erledigt.
Verstehen mich nicht falsch: Das Recht auf Löschung ist wichtig und gut so. Aber nicht jede Anfrage muss wie ein Rechtsstreit klingen. Vor allem nicht bei ehrenamtlichen Projekten, die ohnehin das Beste aus ihren Möglichkeiten machen.
Mein Appell: Fragt erst freundlich. Wenn das nicht klappt, ist die DSGVO immer noch da.

With AI vibe coding something has been buggjng me. Probably not an original concern buy I haven't seen it mentioned much. For now let's forget about the moral or environmental damage AI causes.
Is vibe coding going to be the death of open source software?
Recent news has some developer vibe coding a replacement for the Adobe Suite. You can't tell me that a litigious scumbag company like Adobe doesn't have lawyers lined up down the street willing to kill anything that hurts their business.
I can already see Adobe lawyer in front of a judge asking the 'developer' to provide the history of the code. He won't be able to. Neither will Claude. Then Adobe simply has to show that the code appears to be proprietary.
This could set a precedent against all vibe code including code in the Linux kernel and other major open source projects.
Am I wrong?

Hi everyone.
I’ve been working on something over the past little while: a plugin for Jellyfin that streams the content from the AudioVault on demand.
Headline features include:
• Every AudioVault movie and show is searchable in Jellyfin, and integrates with Jellyfins metadata providers and other systems, even before getting downloaded.
• Press play and it downloads that title, so nothing is downloaded until someone wants it.
• Plays on any Jellyfin app, and stays cached.
• Each user uses their own AudioVault account, and the plugin keeps to AudioVault’s download limits.
It’s free and open source. You need Jellyfin 12.2 and an AudioVault account.
For installation instructions, and other docs, visit the repo https://github.com/JessicaTegner/jellyfin-plugin-audiovault

Cześć! W końcu rozkminiłem jak postawić własny DNS w chmurze bez trzymania serwera w domu i bez ciągłego włączania VPN. Złączyłem automatyczne pobieranie list na GitHubie z Cloudflare Workerem. Wyszło niesamowicie lekko, a największą zaletą jest pełna wolność w doborze własnych źródeł blokowania i zero kosztów sprzętowych.
Jasne, rozwiązanie ma też minusy, bo wymaga chwili na własną konfigurację i nie oferuje podglądu urządzeń w sieci domowej tak jak klasyczny Pi-hole. Za to jako uniwersalny punkt DoH w domu i w podróży działa genialnie, pasując idealnie do idei cyfrowej higieny z eteryu.space. Jeśli ktoś chce podpatrzeć kod albo pogadać jak to poskładać, śmiało dajcie znać.

Microsoft has open-sourced #TauGrid, a cloud-native AI infrastructure platform designed to make running GPU workloads on Kubernetes easier.
TauGrid brings several pieces together into a single stack:
• A CLI for submitting and managing AI workloads
• Kueue for workload queueing, quotas, and scheduling
• KubeRay for distributed AI workloads
• GPU health monitoring and node diagnostics
• Integrated observability for clusters, GPUs, and workloads
It supports workloads across data preparation, distributed training, fine-tuning, batch inference, and model serving.
The interesting part is the separation of responsibilities. Researchers can submit and monitor workloads without needing to manage Kubernetes directly, while platform teams retain control over compute, capacity, identity, policies, and infrastructure.
For organizations running GPU-intensive AI workloads, this could provide a more standardized way to manage shared Kubernetes-based AI infrastructure without building all of the integration glue themselves.
TauGrid is MIT licensed and designed for self-hosted Kubernetes environments.

Ich bin mit Windows groß geworden und habe mir damals wenig Gedanken über meine Daten gemacht. Es lief eben, und daran gewöhnt man sich. Mit der Zeit wurde uns allen klar, dass es bei Windows keinen echten Datenschutz gab, an vielen Ecken wurde mitgesammelt und man erfuhr kaum, wofür. Erst als ich mich mit freier Software beschäftigte, sah ich, wie viel im Hintergrund passiert, ohne dass man es mitbekommt. Ich bin nur Anwender und kann den Code nicht selbst prüfen, aber viele andere tun es, und davon profitiere ich. So kann ich die Kontrolle behalten, ohne selbst alles durchschauen zu müssen. Heute ist mir beides wichtig, weil ich wissen will, was auf meinem Rechner läuft und wohin meine Daten gehen. Es geht mir nicht um Angst, sondern um die Möglichkeit, selbst zu entscheiden. Freie Software gibt mir das Werkzeug dafür in die Hand.
Worauf achtest du bei deinen Programmen?

Which #Discord communities/"servers" for the following Open Source software projects, would you most like to see re-established/migrated into an #OpenSource , non-walled-garden forum software (such as their own dedicated #Flarum website)?
**Check all that apply**
Note 1: Community membership sizes may be listed as approximates, may be out of date (Qwen knew from 2024), but none the less, give a useful ballpark. **Were any fairly large Open Source communities in Discord missed? Please reply, stating so.**
Note 2: Flarum 2.0 will be coming out soon, **has great mobile support** (important to younger-generation adoption), and is also lightweight. An #RSS feed add-on/plugin, Open Source, is also offered. 👍 Having said this, I approve of any Open Source, non-walled-garden forum software, such as #Discourse (but it requires a beefier server, uses node.js, alas, and runs in #Docker)

Hi! A quick survey for screen reader, speech synthesizer, and Braille display users in the open-source communities.
I'd like to know what assistive technologies you use. Fenrir? Speakup? Orca with a speech synthesizer and/or a Braille display? BRLTTY?
Do you use the virtual console, desktop environments such as Xfce, GNOME, KDE, or a combination of these?
The goal of this survey is to gather feedback and ideas from the community and help provide the best possible accessibility solutions for FreeBSD as well.
Thanks for sharing your experience!

An analysis by a Redditor, published on sheets.works, counted regular contributors on 23 core open source projects and found 11 had only one or two in the past year. xz, which shipped a backdoor in 2024 (CVE-2024-3094), again has one: Lasse Collin wrote 97 percent of its 2025 changes, and the analysis found no new funding. Eight projects, including SQLite, zlib and bash, show no grant from four named funders.
