@autistics There were 5 of us this week. It was super fun!

We decided to make a #deltachat group (specific to this server), as the "Talk" feature in Voxelibre is quite limited (as are Mastodon DMs when you have several people at once). A link to this "Voxelibre Chat" group is in the wiki for this server - see link in OP. #Voxelibre #luanti #OpenSource

Ein Ex-Teammitglied hat sich heimlich die Marke „MeshCore" gesichert. Plan: das offene Projekt zu seinem eigenen, closed-source Produkt umbauen.

Einfach umbenennen und weiterziehen? Falsches Signal. Dann lernt jeder Trittbrettfahrer: Open-Source-Maintainer kann man aus ihrem eigenen Projekt bullyen, wenn man nur dreist genug ist.

Das Kernteam wehrt sich rechtlich - kostet aber ~18.000 USD an Anwaltskosten.

Wer was übrig hat: jeder Betrag hilft, ein offenes Projekt vor genau dieser Art von Bullying zu schützen.

Zum heutigen #DiDay möchte ich auch einen Beitrag leisten. Da ich dem #Überwachungskapitalismus schon vor einigen Jahren begonnen habe den Rücken zu kehren und nie wirklich bei monopolistischen Platzformnetzen aktiv war, kann ich keine klassische #didit Meldung absetzen. Allerdings kann ich allen die noch nicht so weit sind mit meinen Erfahrungen zur Seite stehen.

Scheut euch also nicht fragen zu stellen, ich helfe gerne 😊
Nachfolgend eine kurze Auflistung der größten „Meilensteine“ zu denen ich die letzten Jahre Erfahrung gesammelt habe:

seit 2018: nur noch #Linux: erst #Ubuntu Mate, dann #manjaro jetzt #CachyOS

seit 2019: #LinuxGaming mit #nvidia , ja verrückt 😆

seit 2020:
- Kalender und Kontakte mit #nextcloud
- #librewolf statt #firefox
- #startpage

seit 2021: #eOS erst auf meinem GS290 seit knapp einem Jahr auf #fairphone 5

seit 2022: #GMX gegen #protonmail

seit 2023: #fediverse

Anfang 2026: Google das mein Konto demnächst gelöscht wird, wenn ich mich nicht mal wieder anmelde 🤣

🌌🐧 Noutățile din Linuxverso (Săptămâna 27 / 2026): Lansări noi pentru Drauger OS, AnduinOS și Slackel 🚀📦
În centrul atenției din această săptămână se află trei proiecte remarcabile: Drauger OS 7.8, AnduinOS 2.0.0 și Slackel 9.0 „MATE”.
Iată cele mai importante detalii despre fiecare lansare majoră:
🎮 1. Drauger OS 7.8 – Distribuiția axată pe gaming primește optimizări
Drauger OS este o distribuție specializată, construită special pentru utilizatorii care vor o consolă de jocuri video pe PC, lăsând la o parte aplicațiile tradiționale de birou în favoarea performanței brute în gaming.
Securitate cu Rust: Una dintre cele mai mari noutăți tehnice este implementarea simbolică a utilitarului sudo-rs (o rescriere mai sigură în Rust a comenzii sudo). Deși legătura este activă, echipa avertizează utilizatorii care folosesc scripturi complexe că anumite funcții mai vechi nu sunt complet implementate încă.
Suport hardware extins: Versiunea 7.8 aduce o compatibilitate superioară cu o gamă uriașă de periferice, de la tastaturi și mouși de gaming până la controllere și simulatoare de zbor complexe, facilitând configurarea rapidă a jocurilor.
🐧 2. AnduinOS 2.0.0 – Fluiditate crescută pentru productivitate zilnică
AnduinOS se concentrează pe oferirea unui desktop elegant, rapid și foarte stabil pentru fluxurile de lucru intense. Versiunea 2.0.0 vine cu imagini ISO pregătite atât pentru arhitecturile de procesoare x86_64, cât și pentru aarch64 (ARM).
Optimizări de sistem: Sub capotă, sistemul vine configurat din fabrică cu valori modificate pentru swappiness=10 și limite crescute pentru fs.inotify. Această ajustare garantează o gestionare mult mai eficientă a memoriei RAM și o fluiditate crescută a interfeței grafice chiar și sub sarcini grele de procesare.
Audio și Secure Boot: Include firmware-ul audio Intel SOF preinstalat pentru compatibilitate cu cele mai recente plăci de sunet, oferind toate acestea fără a compromite funcționalitatea de Secure Boot la pornirea sistemului.
⚓ 3. Slackel 9.0 „MATE” – Tradiția Slackware într-un format modern
Bazată pe Slackware și Salix, Slackel 9.0 aduce simplitatea și robustețea sistemelor de tip Slack într-o formă accesibilă datorită mediului grafic ușor MATE.
Instalator modernizat: Versiunea 9.0 introduce un utilitar grafic de instalare complet revizuit, capabil să configureze sistemul extrem de simplu nu doar pe SSD-uri/HDD-uri interne, ci și pe medii de stocare externe portabile (cum ar fi stick-uri USB rapide).
Dual-Mode: Imaginile ISO sunt hibride, permițând rularea sistemului direct în mod Live (fără modificări pe disc) sau pornirea procesului complet de instalare.
🌍 Alte lansări notabile din Săptămâna 27:
Pe lângă cele trei menționate, săptămâna a fost extrem de activă în depozitele globale, bifând și alte actualizări importante precum:
Kali Linux 2026.2: A doua mare iterație a anului pentru distro-ul de pentesting (cu bootare de 3 ori mai rapidă în mașini virtuale și integrarea GNOME 50).
ArchBang 010726: Noua imagine a sistemului ultra-ușor bazat pe Arch.
Ultramarine Linux 44: Lansarea oficială a aromei optimizate bazate pe Fedora 44.

@jon I liked the early web of course. I think I first got dial-up Internet connection about 1998/1999.
I used Netscape and tried Opera when it used to have an ad bar. I used to use #KMart's Blue Light free dial-up service back when #NetZero was around. I started with a 28.8kbps modem. My mother had call waiting at the time so sometimes my connection would get interrupted which was fine. I bought Red Hat 5.2 for I think $12.

I wish we had an advanced/realistic vehicle simulator. I always had plans and dreams but I couldn't make them real because they are too hard. I also had to learn about tech more first, like learning what is libre software etc.

Anyway, like realism should be our priority, sim should be coming with FPV only (first person view). No other views should be allowed.

Simulation should simulate human's senses like hot/cold temperature, making very hard brake should move camera, driving bad should move the camera, or flooring the gas pedal etc.

We should be able to click stuff inside the vehicle just like flight sims.

Sim must be compatible with PlayStation controllers as they are the best imo.

3D surround sound with headphones would be great.

Simulator should be libre too.

If we put support for maps/mods, the sim will get larger by community support.

Having AI traffic would be amazing too.

Driving simulators helped me A LOT with passing my driving exam.

#GUCAC negation and its uses.

Negation is proposed metadata for indicating the complement of a term's meaning.

GUCAC forms thoughts from inside to outside. The first four stages of thought formation are Creation, Description, Articulation and Specialization. These stages correspond to the four layers of a glyph. An optional fifth stage is negation which corresponds to unplugging the hub.

Negation comes last because positive logic tends to be less confusing than negative logic. Thus ideas are first constructed of positive thoughts and then revealed to be false and disbelieved as needed.

The hub is the triangle and circle in the center of the glyph as shown in this diagram.

Terminology and Graphic Conventions
The line segments (elements) within a glyph are further classified as radial spokes or circumferential laths in inner or outer layers, and are aligned in eight distinct directions (octants). Within each layer the elements are also grouped on either the right or left side. The central circle (hub, not an element) is positive or true when filled (plugged, the triangular plug is an element) and negative or false when empty (unplugged). These classifications are used to provide a symbolic superstructure which help a viewer to associate the state of the glyph (aspect) with its meaning (term).

The hub is always printed. This provides a reference for the placement of the other elements. Without a hub it is difficult to tell if a single spoke is above or below the center and whether it is an inner or outer spoke. The plug within the hub is a triangle that 'points' to the left. This is intended to show the orientation of a glyph (in case it is viewed upside down). The triangle points to the 'beginning' (the left inner spokes) of a glyph.

More, less, major, minor, active and passive (Yang and Yin) are common principals across the mental, social and physical realms. By tying these binary principals to the classifications described above, we hope to associate a glyph's aspect with an engram of an individual's experience and thereby imbue it with meaning.

Linus Torvalds put Linux under the GNU General Public License in 1992. The GPL lets anyone use, change, and resell the code on one condition: pass the same freedom on, source included. That is why Oracle can rebuild Red Hat's Linux package by package and sell it as Oracle Linux. Red Hat has no recourse. To own Linux you would first have to unwrite the license on every copy in the world. No vendor moats the base, only the service.

⚔️🏰 fheroes2 1.1.17 a fost lansat! Proiectul open-source aduce noi îmbunătățiri pentru fanii Heroes of Might and Magic II 🚀🕹️

Pasionații de strategie retro și nostalgicii erei de aur a jocurilor pe PC au un motiv excelent de bucurie. fheroes2, motorul grafic open-source reconstruit de la zero pentru a rula legendarul Heroes of Might and Magic II pe sistemele moderne, a primit oficial versiunea 1.1.17.

Proiectul continuă să rafineze jocul original lansat în 1996, oferind suport complet pentru rezoluții mari, ecrane late (widescreen), o inteligență artificială (AI) mult mai inteligentă și performanțe native pe Linux, Steam Deck, Windows și macOS, fără a altera farmecul vizual clasic. Pentru a juca, ai nevoie doar de fișierele de date originale (inclusiv cele din versiunea demo gratuită).

Iată principalele noutăți incluse în fheroes2 1.1.17:

🔹 Inteligență Artificială (AI) mult mai competitivă:
Echipa de dezvoltare a continuat să ajusteze logica computerului de joc. În versiunea 1.1.17, eroii controlați de AI iau decizii mai bune în timpul asediilor castelelor și folosesc vrăjile într-un mod mult mai tactic pe câmpul de luptă, oferind o provocare veritabilă chiar și pentru veteranii seriei, fără ca sistemul să „trișeze” cu resurse extra.

🔹 Rafinări ale interfeței (UI) și comenzi rapide:
Interfața grafică a primit ajustări de finețe pentru a îmbunătăți fluxul de joc (Quality of Life):

S-au adăugat noi scurtături de tastatură și elemente vizuale de asistență în ecranele de gestionare a castelelor și a armatelor.

Împărțirea trupelor între eroi sau în interiorul garnizoanelor este acum mai intuitivă și necesită mai puține click-uri.

🔹 Corecturi masive de bug-uri și randare audio/video:

Au fost rezolvate o serie de probleme istorice legate de redarea anumitor efecte sonore și piese muzicale în format MIDI/CD care se puteau suprapune sau opri brusc în timpul scenariilor lungi.

S-au remediat mici erori grafice de randare apărute la redimensionarea ferestrei pe monitoarele cu rezoluție 4K și pe ecranul consolei portabile Steam Deck.

🔹 Suport extins pentru localizare și traduceri:
Comunitatea a actualizat fișierele de limbă, îmbunătățind traducerile existente și reparând problemele de afișare a fonturilor speciale în diverse limbi, asigurându-se că textele din campanii și descrierile artefactelor sunt aliniate perfect în ferestrele de dialog.

fheroes2 1.1.17 demonstrează cum pasiunea comunității open-source poate păstra vie istoria jocurilor video, transformând un titlu vechi de trei decenii într-o experiență modernă impecabilă. Noua versiune poate fi descărcată de pe GitHub sau instalată rapid pe Linux și Steam Deck prin intermediul pachetului Flatpak de pe Flathub.

🏢📄 Collabora Office: Alternativa enterprise securizată la Microsoft 365 și Google Workspace, bazată pe open-source 🚀🛡️

Pentru companiile, instituțiile publice și profesioniștii care caută o suită de productivitate completă, dar vor să păstreze controlul absolut asupra propriilor date, Collabora Office reprezintă standardul de aur în mediul corporate. Această suită de birou, dezvoltată de gigantul open-source Collabora, reprezintă versiunea stabilă, optimizată și puternic susținută comercial a celebrului proiect LibreOffice.

Spre deosebire de versiunile comunitare, Collabora Office este creat special pentru a îndeplini cerințele stricte de securitate, compatibilitate și scalabilitate din segmentul enterprise, oferind implementări flexibile pe Linux, Windows, macOS și platforme mobile.

Iată principalele piloni și avantaje care definesc soluția Collabora Office:

🔹 Compatibilitate impecabilă cu formatele Microsoft (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX):
Una dintre cele mai mari provocări în tranziția către software open-source este păstrarea layout-ului documentelor complexe. Collabora investește masiv în inginerie pentru a garanta că textul, tabelele pivot, macrocomenzile și prezentările create în Microsoft Office se deschid și se editează în Collabora Office fără distorsionări vizuale sau pierderi de date.

🔹 Securitate la nivel enterprise și controlul datelor (Sovereignty):
Într-o eră dominată de cloud-uri proprietare americane, Collabora Office le permite organizațiilor să își mențină suveranitatea digitală.

Poate fi rulat complet pe infrastructura locală (on-premise) a companiei sau într-un cloud privat securizat.

Documentele sensibile nu părăsesc niciodată perimetrul controlat de echipa ta IT, eliminând riscurile legate de spionajul industrial sau nerespectarea reglementărilor europene stricte privind confidențialitatea datelor (GDPR).

🔹 Suport pe termen lung (LTS) și stabilitate garantată:
Spre deosebire de LibreOffice standard, care primește actualizări rapide ce pot introduce uneori mici erori de compatibilitate, Collabora Office oferă:

Cicluri de viață extinse pentru versiuni, cu patch-uri de securitate și corecturi de bug-uri livrate regulat, fără a altera funcționalitățile de bază pe care se bazează fluxul de lucru al angajaților.

Acorduri de nivel de servicii (SLA) și asistență tehnică dedicată 24/7 pentru echipele de sysadmini.

🔹 Integrare perfectă cu mediul Cloud (Collabora Online):
Collabora Office nu se limitează doar la aplicații tradiționale instalate local pe PC. Suita lucrează în strânsă sinergie cu varianta sa web, Collabora Online, permițând co-editarea în timp real a documentelor direct din browser, integrându-se nativ cu soluții populare de stocare de tip self-hosted precum Nextcloud, ownCloud, Seafile sau platforme proprietare.

Collabora Office demonstrează că se poate construi un mediu de lucru digital extrem de performant, modern și colaborativ, fără a face vreun compromis în ceea ce privește confidențialitatea datelor și independența tehnologică a unei organizații.

🚀📐 GNOME 51 Alpha: Toate noutățile din viitoarea versiune a desktop-ului Linux 💻🐧

Odată cu finalizarea versiunii 50, dezvoltatorii proiectului GNOME și-au mutat rapid atenția către următorul pas evolutiv. A fost lansată oficial versiunea GNOME 51 Alpha (purtând numele de cod „A Coruña”, după orașul spaniol care găzduiește conferința GUADEC 2026). Acest release instabil este dedicat testării publice și oferă comunității o primă privire asupra direcției tehnologice a desktop-ului.

Deoarece GNOME 50 a marcat tranziția istorică completă către Wayland (eliminând sesiunile X11 native), GNOME 51 se concentrează pe rafinarea masivă a acestei noi fundații, pe performanță brută și pe adăugarea unor API-uri moderne.

Iată principalele noutăți dezvăluite în faza Alpha:

🔹 API nativ pentru coduri QR și integrarea Clipboard-ului:

O adăugare importantă la nivel de platformă este introducerea unui nou API dedicat generării rapide de coduri QR. Acest lucru va permite aplicațiilor din ecosistem (cum ar fi partajarea Wi-Fi sau aplicațiile de transfer de date) să afișeze coduri QR fără a depinde de biblioteci software terțe.

A fost implementat suport complet pentru portalul de captură de intrare (Input Capture Portal), care permite utilitarelor avansate și instrumentelor de accesibilitate să interfațeze mult mai sigur și mai fluid cu clipboard-ul sistemului în mediile Wayland.

🔹 Screencasting și streaming video optimizat:
Înregistrarea ecranului și streaming-ul nativ au primit o actualizare majoră sub capotă. GNOME 51 Alpha introduce optimizări prin minimizarea fazelor de desenare (stage paints) și reducerea copiilor de memorie tampon (buffer copies).

Rezultatul: O reducere drastică a consumului de procesor (CPU) și plăcă grafică (GPU) în timp ce înregistrezi ecranul sau partajezi fereastra în apeluri video, oferind un framerate mult mai stabil.

🔹 Adio EGLStreams: Retragerea suportului pentru driverele NVIDIA vechi:
GNOME 51 face curățenie în codul vechi și elimină oficial tehnologia EGLStreams. Această componentă era folosită în trecut ca o soluție temporară pentru a face driverele proprietare NVIDIA să funcționeze cu Wayland. Deoarece NVIDIA folosește de mult timp standardul modern GBMC (Generic Buffer Management), această eliminare nu afectează plăcile grafice moderne, însă încheie suportul Wayland pentru hardware-ul NVIDIA considerat complet moștenit (legacy).

🔹 Controlul luminozității monitorului și suport Elogind:

Desktop-ul aduce acum suport complet pentru salvarea și restaurarea automată a luminozității monitoarelor externe și interne după repornire sau după revenirea din modul suspend, rezolvând o problemă iritantă raportată des de utilizatorii de laptopuri.

Pentru a extinde flexibilitatea distribuțiilor care nu folosesc systemd ca manager de inițializare (cum ar fi versiunile de Gentoo sau Void Linux), GNOME 51 introduce suport oficial pentru elogind ca furnizor alternativ pentru libsystemd.

🔹 Aplicații Core optimizate (GNOME Software & Calendar):

GNOME Software: Magazinul de aplicații a primit o logică îmbunătățită pentru pachetele Flatpak. Acum afișează o bară de progres mult mai clară pentru instalarea/dezinstalarea extensiilor (add-ons) și avertizează utilizatorul înainte de a instala aplicații care au ajuns la sfârșitul ciclului de viață (End-of-Life). De asemenea, interfața grafică pe ecrane înguste/mobile include acum pictograme cu descrieri dinamice (tooltips).

GNOME Calendar: S-a lucrat intens la remedierea crash-urilor apărute la schimbarea rapidă a datelor și la optimizarea afișării evenimentelor duplicat provenite din conturile Google sincronizate.

Conform calendarului oficial, faza Alpha va fi urmată de versiunea Beta în august, urmând ca lansarea finală și stabilă a GNOME 51 să aibă loc la mijlocul lunii septembrie 2026. Până atunci, entuziastii pot testa aceste noutăți prin intermediul imaginilor zilnice de GNOME OS.

⚓🛸 Ultramarine Linux 44 a fost lansat oficial! Propulsat de baza solidă Fedora 44 și medii grafice actualizate 🚀🌊

Pentru utilizatorii care apreciază stabilitatea și pachetele moderne oferite de Fedora, dar își doresc o experiență de utilizare mai prietenoasă, „out-of-the-box” și optimizată pentru desktop, comunitatea vine cu o veste excelentă: s-a lansat oficial Ultramarine Linux 44.

Această distribuție își propune să elimine micile bătăi de cap logistice de după instalarea unei imagini standard (cum ar fi configurarea manuală a codec-urilor media sau adăugarea depozitelor terțe), oferind un sistem finisat perfect, gata de productivitate sau gaming din primul minut.

Iată principalele caracteristici și noutăți introduse în Ultramarine Linux 44:

🔹 Sincronizat cu baza Fedora 44:
Sistemul moștenește toate avantajele tehnologice ale recentei versiuni Fedora 44. Aceasta înseamnă că utilizatorii beneficiază de o stabilitate de fier, de cel mai nou kernel Linux stabil (care asigură compatibilitate maximă cu plăcile grafice și procesoarele de ultimă generație) și de un management modern al pachetelor de sistem.

🔹 Medii de lucru (Desktop Environments) cizelate:
Ultramarine se remarcă prin modul în care își personalizează edițiile. Versiunea 44 aduce actualizări majore pentru toate aromele sale oficiale:

Ediția Flagship (Budgie): Vine cu cea mai recentă iterație a desktop-ului Budgie, oferind o interfață elegantă, rapidă și extrem de familiară pentru cei care fac tranziția de la alte sisteme de operare.

Ediția GNOME & KDE Plasma: Incorporează versiunile proaspete ale acestor medii, configurate cu teme native discrete și extensii care îmbunătățesc fluxul de lucru zilnic.

Ediția Pantheon: Ultramarine continuă să fie una dintre puținele distribuții care oferă o expriență curată și stabilă a mediului grafic Pantheon (preluat de la Elementary OS) direct pe o bază RPM/Fedora.

🔹 Tot ce ai nevoie, preinstalat (Out-of-the-box experience):
Spre deosebire de Fedora brută, Ultramarine vem din fabrică cu:

Depozitul RPM Fusion activat în mod implicit (facilitând instalarea instantanee a driverelor proprietare Nvidia sau a componentelor Steam).

Toate codec-urile audio/video necesare pentru redarea conținutului multimedia fără erori de format.

Integrare nativă îmbunătățită pentru pachetele de tip Flatpak, oferind acces direct la întregul catalog Flathub.

🔹 Performanță optimizată sub capotă:
Inginerii din spatele proiectului au integrat reglaje fine la nivelul managerului de memorie și al planificatorului de sarcini (scheduler), asigurând o latență scăzută în aplicații și o rulare mai fluidă a jocurilor video. De asemenea, procesul de instalare prin Anaconda a fost simplificat pentru a ghida utilizatorii noi mult mai eficient.

Ultramarine Linux 44 reprezintă opțiunea ideală pentru cei care vor să se bucure de puterea și inovația din ecosistemul Fedora, dar într-un format mult mai primitor, stabil și gata de atac. Imaginile ISO corespunzătoare fiecărui mediu grafic sunt disponibile acum pentru descărcare pe site-ul oficial al proiectului.

🛠️🦅 Woodpecker CI 3.16 a fost lansat! Introduce limite de concurență pentru fluxurile de lucru (workflows) 🚀🔄

Woodpecker CI — platforma open-source, modernă și ultra-ușoară pentru automatizarea proceselor de dezvoltare software (CI/CD), derivată inițial din comunitatea Drone — a primit o actualizare importantă prin versiunea 3.16. Acest release aduce o funcționalitate vitală pentru echipele de DevOps și administratorii de infrastructură care își doresc un control riguros asupra modului în care sunt consumate resursele serverelor de build.

Iată principalele noutăți incluse în Woodpecker CI 3.16:

🔹 Limite de concurență la nivel de workflow (Workflow Concurrency Limits):
Cea mai mare și așteptată funcție a acestei versiuni este capacitatea de a seta limite de concurență. Utilizatorii pot defini acum direct în fișierele de configurare YAML numărul maxim de instanțe ale unui pipeline care pot rula simultan.

De ce contează: Dacă o echipă face zece commit-uri succesive într-un interval scurt, sistemul nu va mai lansa zece build-uri paralele care să sufoce mașinile virtuale sau containerele (runners). În schimb, noile build-uri vor fi puse politicos în coada de așteptare (queue) sau vor înlocui automat execuțiile mai vechi, în funcție de strategia aleasă.

🔹 Gestionare îmbunătățită a cozilor de așteptare:
Logica din spatele serverului central Woodpecker a fost rafinată pentru a gestiona mai inteligent eliberarea sloturilor de compilare. Imediat ce un runner termină o sarcină, următorul workflow din coadă este preluat instantaneu, reducând timpii morți (idle time) din infrastructură.

🔹 Optimizări vizuale și log-uri mai rapide în UI:
Interfața web a primit retușuri de performanță. Redarea log-urilor masive în timp real, generate în timpul execuției pașilor din containere, folosește acum un algoritm de streaming îmbunătățit. Browserul nu mai agață și nu mai îngheță atunci când afișează mii de linii de cod de compilare.

🔹 Stabilitate sporită pentru execuțiile în Kubernetes și Docker:
Versiunea 3.16 repară o serie de erori legate de comunicarea dintre serverul central și agenții (runners) care rulează în medii izolate. Au fost rezolvate problemele de deconectare bruscă a containerelor în timpul execuției unor sarcini intense din punct de vedere al memoriei sau al rețelei.

Woodpecker CI 3.16 continuă să fie o alternativă modernă, curată și extrem de rapidă la soluții mult mai complexe sau comerciale, fiind ideală pentru echipele care doresc să ruleze propriul stack CI/CD în regim self-hosted fără un consum masiv de resurse RAM. Actualizarea este disponibilă ca imagine oficială de Docker și poate fi implementată rapid în mediile de producție.
