Most foundational model AI companies in the US don't offer custom models. Thus, it's no wonder that researchers and smaller companies default to open source. The sole focus on cost shouldn't be a sufficient explanation, esp. given that Llama models would still cost nothing.

Es hat eigentlich ganz harmlos angefangen. So harmlos, dass ich heute nicht mal mehr genau sagen kann, welcher Moment es wirklich war. Vielleicht ein Artikel, den ich irgendwo überlesen habe. Vielleicht dieses leise, nagende Gefühl nach einer Werbeanzeige, die mir viel zu genau gefolgt ist. Jedenfalls hatte ich nie das Gefühl, besonders viel von mir preiszugeben. Ich war nie der Typ für Facebook, habe Google Accounts gemieden, wo es nur ging, und Werbung hat mich schon immer auf eine eigenartig persönliche Weise genervt, als würde jemand ungefragt meinen Teller umräumen.
Also habe ich das gemacht, was wahrscheinlich viele tun, die sich zum ersten Mal ein bisschen ernsthafter mit dem Thema beschäftigen. Ich habe angefangen, Dinge abzuschalten. Tracker blockieren, Cookies einschränken, ein paar Erweiterungen installieren, deren Namen ich erst buchstabieren lernen musste.
Am Anfang fühlt sich das gut an, fast so, als hätte man plötzlich den Schaltplan des ganzen Systems durchschaut. Als wäre man nicht mehr Besucher, sondern jemand, der hinter die Kulissen gegangen ist und jetzt weiß, an welchen Hebeln man drehen muss.
Und dann kommt dieser Gedanke, leise, fast unschuldig, aber mit einer Sogwirkung, die man nicht mehr loswird. Wenn ich das schon mache, wie weit kann ich eigentlich gehen?

I vibe-coded a small self-hosted tool that turns YouTube channels/playlists into a Live TV experience inside Jellyfin (or any other IPTV player) no downloads, no storage, just a lightweight proxy running on a Raspberry Pi 4.
How it works:
→ You paste a YouTube URL into a small web UI
→ yt-dlp resolves the stream on demand
→ Jellyfin sees it as a real IPTV channel, with EPG guide built from actual video titles and durations
→ Channels persist across restarts, add/delete from the browser
Built with Python/Flask + Docker. Since this was vibe-coded with Claude, the code is functional but I wouldn't call it production-grade.
Do you think would anyone actually use this? Should I clean it up and put it on Codeberg, GitLab, or GitHub? 👀
Big news! Today we’re launching the GNOME Fellowship: funded positions for contributors to work on the GNOME project’s long-term sustainability. 🎉

For a while, deploying apps meant a familiar ritual: SSH in, pull the repo, pray nothing breaks, repeat for every service.
Manual.
Fragile.
Exhausting.
This week I finally consolidated everything into a proper self-hosted control plane.
The stack:
→ aaPanel as the central dashboard which I heard about from a friend
→ Docker for containerised app isolation (absolute cancer)
→ PostgreSQL for database management (with per-app panels and log visibility)
→ DuckDNS handling dynamic DNS + automated HTTPS via Let's Encrypt (stayed up until 3AM on Sunday for this btw)
→ Netlify on the frontend side cuz it's easy to deploy
The difference is hard to overstate. One dashboard. Full log access across services. Deployments that don't require me to remember 12 steps in the right order at 11pm.
It's not a perfect setup, aaPanel is proprietary-ish and Netlify is clearly not self-hosted, but it's a defenitely a step away from "I'll fix it manually when it breaks" territory.
Curious if anyone here has migrated from this kind of hybrid setup toward something fully FOSS.
Always looking for the next rabbit hole.

OpenZiti is a self-hosted zero-trust networking platform that lets you access services without VPNs or exposing ports.
Each connection is identity-based, end-to-end encrypted, and limited per service.
Instead of full network access like traditional VPNs, it only allows access to specific services -- reducing attack surface.

I'm looking for full-time work!
I work at the intersection of social and technical systems, and specialize in building up people, programs, partnerships, and organizations around open source.
I have a deep track record in complex community relations, am fluent in the nuts and bolts of many technologies, and have spanned governance, org development, nonprofit and people management, comms, marketing, events, and beyond.
Let's fly! 
I built 7 MCP servers connecting AI agents to security tools: Wazuh, Zeek, Suricata, TheHive, Cortex, MISP, MITRE ATT&CK.
The protocol layer was the easy part. Context design was where the real engineering happened. Security telemetry is noisy. Dumping raw logs into a model gives you vague summaries. Filtering, scoping, & ordering the data before it hits the context window make the analysis actually useful.

No proprietary bridges, no cloud, no vendor lock-in. Just some free and open source software (Zigbee2MQTT / Home Assistant) and a tiny USB dongle (ConBee II) as a network coordinator.
All meshing nicely and every grid-powered device effectively extends my network's range by relaying datagrams.

A quick note on Nolto.
On 15 March 2026 its creator Jonathan Tensetti intentionally closed the service and deleted his Fediverse account.
What he built - Europe’s second decentralised LinkedIn alternative on ActivityPub - was gloriously vibecoded but effective. It showed, with hard data and testimonials, that the demand for a sovereignty-respecting professional platform is real.
I had been working in parallel: detailed research on technical choices, product mechanics, business-model viability under distributed/FOSS conditions, and how to test everything in practice for such a product. Nothing yolo — but nothing yet proven in production either. Jonathan precluded me by just yolo'ing the Nolto MVP. Thanks for that.
To move from proven demand to a solid, maintainable product I need proper capital, runway and possibly 1-2 additional people.
I'm looking for European-aligned funding - preferably from Germany, Poland or Denmark - networks that value independence and data protection without the usual bureaucratic overhead.
If you know the right people in those circles, please connect me with them before the current momentum fades.
Serious replies and boosts appreciated.

@newsgroup 🔥 The Illusion of "Free" Speech on Centralized Networks
Wake up. Look around. The situation is absurd.
Almost every network that isn't decentralized has become a real threat to freedom of speech. A handful of hired bots — worthless, faceless algorithms controlled by corporations — can destroy any large account simply because:
They spoke the truth
They promoted decentralization
They fought for humanity's right to freedom
Think about where this is all heading.
The algorithm shows you:
10-100K views and reactions on OnlyFans content
Millions of impressions on gossip and celebrity nonsense
Endless streams of useless entertainment
But it HIDES:
Articles about how your credentials are stolen
Investigations into how corporations sell your data
Content about digital dictatorship
And when you try to share real information? You get blocked. Shadowbanned. Silenced.
Who benefits from this? They do. The corporations. The elites. The ones profiting from your ignorance and digital slavery.
This isn't free speech. This is surveillance and control disguised as freedom.
Every centralized platform is a vulnerability. Every "free" service comes with a price — YOUR DATA, YOUR PRIVACY, YOUR VOICE.
The solution is simple: Decentralize everything.
That's why projects like Mastodon, Yacy, F-Droid, and other open-source, decentralized alternatives matter. They're not controlled by billionaires. They can't be shut down by corporate pressure.
If you care about real freedom, you have to stop supporting systems designed to enslave you.
Stop scrolling. Start thinking. Join the decentralized web.
The choice is yours. Choose wisely.
#Mastodon #FreedomOfSpeech #Decentralization #DigitalResistance #FOSS #NoMoreCensorship #CorporateControl #PrivacyMatters #OpenSource #FuckCentralization
🚀 This image highlights my love for the Mastodon network!
The moment you publish important information for humanity, you become inconvenient for corporations. I've already been blocked 2 times on Twitter, 2 times on X, twice on Facebook, once on a Mastodon server, and 3 times on Instagram.
It all starts when I, as a Ukrainian, post about things that concern me — for example, about forced mobilization of men in Ukraine — and suddenly bots hired by the authorities flood in with mass complaints against my account. Because it's an inconvenient truth that doesn't allow them to steal more money 😅
I was also blocked during COVID when I provided evidence that humanity was being deceived. Facebook and Instagram were the first to block my accounts. Why? Because Bill Gates and others wanted to make their billions, and many people like me were silenced — everyone who asked uncomfortable questions.
That's why I, as a software developer, support everything decentralized. We create our own solutions and improve existing major projects. One of our recent initiatives is to completely rewrite the Yacy search engine for our needs. This is a decentralized network that gives freedom to users. Nobody will monitor what you search for.
We also support the F-Droid team, which champions the right to free and open-source software.
Join us! Share this post if you stand for:
✅ Freedom of speech
✅ Freedom of action
✅ Free software
✅ Decentralization
Thank you to everyone who has already joined and shared their thoughts and suggestions!

La prolifération d'outils MCP open source introduit des risques opérationnels et de sécurité critiques.
https://thenewstack.io/ai-programming-languages-future/
I don't know who this "senior developer advocate" ho over at GitHub is in real life. I am taking issue with what they're saying here:
“And I think that says a lot,” Griffiths says. “The gravitational pull of existing ecosystems is enormous — libraries, tooling, community knowledge, production infrastructure. A new language doesn’t just need to be better for AI. It needs to justify abandoning everything developers already have, and that shift is not [going to] happen overnight.”
This is another MicroCrap person and serious Wintel user (Windows + Intel) who is using their lofty position at Github (which is for all intents and purposes a real monopoly in the software repository world) to tell the rest of us older developers — who were and are still today responsible for a majority of the upkeep with supporting the continued maintenance of good software (the Open Source kind of software) — that we don't mean anything. That's a bullshit take, Andrea.
Re-read what they wrote. "[N]eeds to justify abandoning everything developers already have..."
Fuck no, Andrea. And fuck *you* and GitHub for thinking that the rest of us outside of your corporate fiefdom do not matter one iota since in your worldview where perfunctory globalisms dictate the terms of your existence that all human software engineers will be replaced by AI with its data fully backed up by Microsoft's Azure services, no doubt.
The change in software in general and the slow encroachment of AI is a two-fold problem with solutions and problems which can create additional problems.
On the one hand, we have idiots and corporate-funded naysayers such as Andrea Griffiths at GitHub, which is still to this day owned and operated by Bill Gates' brainchild: Microsoft. They blithely tell us that we will not ever amount to anything as real software creators because some great magical force will come down from the sky and do all of the developers' jobs for us.
That's how Elon Musk thinks. He wants to use Starlink to wipe every broadband company off the map in North America and use Starlink to provide satellite-based internet service across all 50 states.
That is how crazy the richest man in the world is. That's neither feasible nor realistic. Goes to show that people who have shit tons of money are not necessarily the best tools to use from your toolbox.
Some of us developers are really tired of these cultural wars. It's not just the really sour and malignant politics in North America today.
It's crap such as what Andrea Griffiths at GitHub is promulgating by using their position to "pull a fast one" or hoodwink the rest of us into submission.
Our first mission is our clients. Or call them our customers or user base. Or it would simply be answering to our bosses — whose careerist job is to plainly answer in a reasonable and effective way customers' questions and inputs through support and marketing channels and avenues.
Microsoft lost their way a long time ago. They missed the smartphone revolution and tried to blame Apple. That fell flat on its face.
Now people such as Andrea Griffiths feel that they're still relevant in the #OpenSource world. Meh. Not so much to people such as me. Microsoft has a long, storied history of initially accepting, then outright refusing, then bringing back Open Source components into their software libraries much too late in the game and without enough proper focus and ongoing support for more open libraries and toolchains.

“Germany has strictly standardised its digital document requirements. The Deutschland-Stack (in Deutsch), the country’s new sovereign digital infrastructure framework, names just two document formats that public administrations are allowed to use: ODF and PDF/UA.”
When public administrations run on proprietary document formats, they end up dependent on the vendor that controls those formats, with no real way out without significant disruption and cost.
This would help Germany ensure they could switch between various open standard office suites without losing access to their documents in future. This gives freedom of choice and more competition in the market.

The Tiiny AI Pocket Lab: Goodbye Cloud Subscriptions! Hello, 120B Parameters in My Pocket🛠️🦾
I just got my hands on the Tiiny AI Pocket Lab, and it’s officially breaking the “Cloud dependence” loop.
120B Parameters? Locally.
Internet? Not needed.
Privacy? 100%.
While everyone else is paying $20/month to let Big Tech read their prompts, this 300g beast is running Llama 3 and DeepSeek locally at 20+ tokens/sec.
It’s got 80GB of RAM (yes, in a pocket device) and runs at just 65W. Guinness World Record holder for a reason. 🏆
The Tiiny AI Pocket Lab is the first credible challenge to the cloud-only AI model. For enterprises and researchers, the value proposition is simple:
Security: Zero-latency, zero-cloud data processing.
Cost: No per-token fees or monthly subscriptions.
Power: 80GB LPDDR5X RAM in a 300g form factor.
This isn’t just a “mini-PC.” It’s a shift toward Edge Intelligence. When you can run a 120B model locally at 65W, the “setup tax” of AI disappears.
The future isn’t in a data center; it’s in your palm.
Is your organization ready for the shift from Cloud AI to Private AI?

Was ich täglich erlebe: Menschen, die denken, sie seien „zu unbegabt" für Technik.

So regarding Linux needing age verification/attestation and systemd, well... if this is true, this is incredibly fucked.

🔧 Tool: Malwoverview v8.0 — Release and Repository Metadata
Malwoverview is presented in the release artifacts as at version 8.0 with the codename “Revolutions.” The repository metadata highlights the author as Alexandre Borges and states the software license as the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 3 or later. Release badges included in the repository metadata indicate recent activity metrics such as latest release by date, last commit, release date, license, GitHub stars and monthly/total download counters.
Repository automation is evidenced by a CodeQL code scanning badge. The release bundle appears to include multiple screenshots illustrating the project UI or outputs. A clear privacy-related statement appears in the release notes: Malwoverview does NOT submit samples to any external endpoint by default, explicitly noting respect for possible Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). The release text is truncated in the provided input where it begins to reference specific options that explicitly ... but the available text confirms there are configurable options affecting sample submission behavior.
From the available metadata, key observable points are: the project is actively versioned (v8.0, Revolutions), it is published under GPLv3 terms, the maintainer/author identity is declared, automated code scanning is integrated, and the project communicates a conservative default around handling malware samples to avoid involuntary data sharing. The presence of download statistics and release badges signals user distribution telemetry is being tracked and surfaced.

Hey infosec folks 👋
I’ve been working on **GhostIntel** — a free, open-source OSINT & threat-intelligence CLI framework written in Python.
MIT licensed — fork it, modify it, integrate it into your workflow.
The idea was simple: during investigations I kept jumping between multiple OSINT sites and tools, so I started building a CLI that could enrich indicators directly from the terminal.
Drop almost anything into GhostIntel and it will try to figure it out automatically:
→ username · email · phone · domain · IP
What it can do right now:
👤 Username → checks 100+ platforms in parallel
📱 Phone → carrier + region intelligence (ID · US · UK · MY · IN)
📧 Email → MX · SPF · DMARC · Gravatar · disposable detection
🌐 Domain → DNS records + HTTP status inspection
🌍 IP → geolocation · reverse DNS · RDAP (ARIN · RIPE · APNIC · LACNIC · AFRINIC) · proxy detection
📊 Reports → export investigation results to JSON · HTML · TXT
Async-powered so lookups can run concurrently.
No API keys required.
No configuration needed.
Everything uses publicly available OSINT sources.
Built from Indonesia 🇮🇩 for the global OSINT / infosec community.
If anyone here works in:
• threat intelligence
• OSINT investigations
• SOC / DFIR
• bug bounty research
I’d genuinely appreciate your feedback.
→ What sources should be added?
→ What would improve your investigation workflow?
→ Anything broken or behaving weirdly?
Suggestions, criticism, and PRs are all welcome.
Before submitting one or more talks to @passthesaltcon 2026, I wrote a blog post based on my 2024 presentation: Bring Back RSS for Operational Security.

I've gotten a nice present with the recent version of audacity as presented in MX Linux my desktop distro of choice. The latest is version v3.7.7 just wait for the version the current one on in MX Linux is v3.7.5.
This version has new file format based features, which of course means the data files are not backward compatible
Master effects
Audacity has master effects! Master effects are effects which apply to the entire project at once. More information can be found at Audacity Support: Using master effects & realtime effects.
New compressor / limiter
A new compressor and limiter have been added, replacing the previous versions.
A gain reduction history has been added to these effects when they’re used as a realtime effect.
Factory Presets suitable for a wide range of use cases for these effects have been provided by Vladislav Isaev and Marek Iwaszkiewicz, available via the Presets & Settings button.
New themes
Audacity has new and improved dark and light themes.
switch between themes via Preferences -> Interface.
The theme previously used still is around as Classic theme, and themes even older than that can be optionally installed as custom themes.
Updated instructions on creating custom themes can be found here [link]
Increased performance
Audacity is now quite a bit snappier than before, especially when working on larger projects and on larger screens.
BUGS
What I do is simply record past the rollover, do everything live, meaning make no mistakes and chop the project into pieces if something has to be edited in post production. It's an annoyance but it works
I currently have a project which is aimed at 120 hours. I will keep you posted on the bug

1 of 3 GitHub Continuous Integration checks passed (the other two are queued, but hopefully will complete without issues).
Not really much new here, more just syncing with upstream, which tagged a new release version for 7.9-beta.
tbh, I think this signify fork can probably ditch a lot of the OpenBSD keys? MacPorts (which also uses signify, from an older fork) does the same thing too. I looked into cleaning up that code a little bit to sync MacPorts' built-in signify, with this, but didn't get very far with it last time I gave it a go (there are some functions OpenBSD has, which older versions of OS X don't and someone else already did the heavy lifting for MacPorts' built-in signify a while ago and re-creating their work was more than I was able to bite off and chew on a Friday night the last time I went looking).
Anyway, assuming the other CI checks pass, it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

I got into #FLOSS because it was a community-driven approach to making computers empower people. Now, #opensource means "free training data for someone else's LLM."
I could ask, "What is the future of open source software," but I think that's the wrong question. I'd rather contemplate what community-driven, human-centering computing can look like in the era of scraping and slop.
Do all of you remember and understand the fundamental meaning why #opensource and any GPL related licenses?
The meaning of "free" in here is not about "gratis", not as free as beer, but freedom, like free as speech.
You can use the others if you don't like. Even u can fork and modify if u want.
Yes, it's our right too to criticize, but please do in ethical ways. Honour their works. Not just spreading hates.
Blind hates just showing you're a fool.

@ActuallyAutistic after a false start (thanks for your patience @murdoc ), I have the #Voxelibre server set up now.
My sense is to not just leave it up all the time, but rather only run it for a set, loosely agreed-upon, recurring period of time each weekend. This is so that people can expect to see each other over time in a friendly way. This is instead of making it available 24/7, and people rarely ever pop by, never form any sense of familiarity with anyone else.
I'm thinking a fixed period time every Sunday night (the fixed period pattern starting next week) would be most suitable. BTW: Luanti works in #Android (find it in F-Droid), so it can be played even from a smartphone or tablet:
https://f-droid.org/packages/net.minetest.minetest
What do you think? A recurring 4-hour period is proposed here:
https://docs.autis.toque.im/#timing/
Having said this, the Voxelibre server is up for *all* this weekend, for those who want to try it (a chance at early familiarization).
More details are in this little documentation wiki I wrote (explains if and how to connect):
https://docs.autis.toque.im/
PS: I worked hard on this! It was suprisingly tricky to set up.
