Was your favourite AI product bought out recently by a Big Tech company?
We've seen this story many times before, and it didn't work out great (it's how we ended up with the word 'enshittification').
This time is different though, because the open-source alternatives are already just as good. And this time, as a final favour, the product you used to love will actively help you to migrate.

Decided to give #PikaBackup a little donation today. Simply because it's an awesome backup client which just works smoothly - even as a Flatpak application. Including doing backup jobs automatically in the background.
It is an incredibly easy backup application to use, compared to most other alternatives. It backs up the data you would expect it to backup. And accessing your backup data is super easy.
This is simply how a backup tool should work. Simple to install, setup and configure ("Backup" tab in the app). Runs easily automatically (visit the "Schedule" tab). And super easy to dive into your backup data ("Archive" tab)
If you're on a platform where PikaBackup is supported, look no further! And the really nice icing is that it is just a GUI wrapper around @borgbackup. So you have more ways to access your backup data, even if PikaBackup would helping you out (like, if your GUI desktop is inaccessible).
And since PikaBackup has saved me a few of times, making it easy to restore files I "destroyed" ... I just felt they really deserved a donation today. PikaBackup has saved my time and quite some extra work.
Thanks a lot @sophie w/team! You're doing an outstanding work!

Haack's Networking
✅️ I am currently in my 20th year in education and over the years I've worked in both secondary and college. I've been a sysadmin longer, having started at the NM Coalition for Literacy in 2000 while finishing college on the "long plan." I pivoted in 2018 back to the private sector and then back again to education in 2022. I've maintained this side company/DBA, Haack's Networking, throughout the entirety and I still have clients to this day that I began with in the early 2000s.
✍️ I've always been struck by the prohibitive cost of software. As a young kid, I remember my father purchased me MetroWorks CodeWarrior for learning C for my LC475 68K mac. I read somewhere in 1992 that I should learn C so that's why I asked for it. Over those next few months, it's hard to explain the frustration I felt at trying to keep the abstractions separated. Open firmware, vs. mac's OS at that time, vs., the IDE and C I was supposed to be learning. It helped at disambiguating abstractions, but was useless at teaching me C. I still suck at C. The package was pretty costly nevertheless.
📻️ While in my early days as a sysadmin, I remember the Adobe suites, Microsoft suites, etc., that we were obligated to keep up to date and purchase for our non-profit. We also had tons of macs, 5 laser printers, early flat panel displays, an early NAS, and a hard firewall (Sonic something). It was not sustainable for this non-profit whatsoever. After the prior Director left - who I still consider a mentor and friend to this day - others took over who made an effort to reduce spending and keep the tech lifts in line with reality. It was slow and painful, but/and I learned that costly is not better.
🔗 Public Services: https://haacksnetworking.dev
💡 It turns out that costly is still not better. In the link above, I share floss-based services I freely host for the community. Registration is open; there are associated and differing TOS/COC. I welcome community members to come by and/or join. We have a nice Matrix community and a small but dedicated Masto #community - Costs should not prohibit end users from using compelling solutions.

@arcanechat Now that I think about this a bit, I have to admit #Deltachat has gotten further into the highly difficult #iPadOS ecosystem than #XMPP has managed to: a working video call. Even if it's only a one-way call (iPadOS must initiate it, at present).
This is breakthrough is something to celebrate, even in its imperfection. #OpenSource Nice work, Deltchat devs!!
PS: even though the Signal *client* is open source, it can't really be compared to what XMPP and Deltachat are trying to do: the full stack, including the server, in OpenSource

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@deepfryed/117203975441085657
At first glance I tend to agree.
However, there is a more insidious problem: LLMs amplify bias, so using them for analysis with any regularity could ruin projects, given enough time. I think that is just what they are likely to do: they will shift the code of independent projects in broken or unhealthy ways because that is what the oligarch designing the LLM prefers. The 'fixes' they offer will increasingly demand trade-offs that compromise the independence, security or viability of independent projects.
The problem is, when we say 'No' to these trade-offs, the LLMs (esp. 'agentic') are poised to conduct PR offensives in the form of issues and pull requests against those of us who refuse too often.
The saner approach might be to just say 'No' to all of it. Or at least to impose strict limits such as special 'LLM recon' periods lasting only days or weeks, where the devs are specially focused on dealing with LLM input and its biases. Then shut down the process at the end of the period. (No, I do not think that restricting anytime LLM use to trusted individuals will work; that is just a recipe for compromising your trusted devs.)

I genuinely worry about a world in which general-purpose computing is locked down by corporations and governments.
I worry about a world where people are deliberately discouraged from understanding even the basics of the computers they depend on. Where everything happens inside gated communities and walled gardens, and the manufacturer (or the operating system vendor, or, Bastet forbid, a government) decides what you may install, change, create, or even understand.
Computers are wonderful things. They can be tools of creativity, curiosity, communication, education and liberation.
But only if they remain free, accessible, understandable, and truly under the control of the people using them.
A computer you are not allowed to control is increasingly becoming something done to you, rather than a tool that belongs to you.
And frankly, that worries me. Quite a lot. 🖥️🏴☠️

And those orgs creating that closed source shit don't give a fuck about if LLMs are bad.
I'm firmly into "we should disallow that", but I see no way how we'll get out of this shit unharmed.
This might be as bad as the current trend for devices getting walled-gardened.

Ein Issue ist ein strukturierter Eintrag in der Projektverwaltung einer Software. Damit können Nutzer, Administratoren und Entwickler beispielsweise Fehler melden, Verbesserungen vorschlagen, Wünsche einbringen oder konkrete Aufgaben diskutieren und verfolgen.
Wofür werden Issues genutzt?
einen aussagekräftigen Titel haben
Nicht: „Friendica funktioniert nicht“
Besser: „Bilder können beim Erstellen eines Beitrags nicht hochgeladen werden“
das Problem möglichst genau beschreiben
Was wollte ich tun? Was ist stattdessen passiert?
reproduzierbar sein
Welche Schritte führen zu dem Fehler?
wichtige technische Angaben enthalten
Zum Beispiel Software-Version, Browser, Betriebssystem, verwendete App oder Serverumgebung – soweit für das Problem relevant.
Fehlermeldungen und Logs enthalten
Wenn vorhanden, aber vorher unbedingt auf Passwörter, Tokens, IP-Adressen oder andere sensible Daten prüfen.
vorher die Suche nutzen 🔎
Vielleicht wurde das Problem bereits gemeldet. Dann ist es oft hilfreicher, ein bestehendes Issue um zusätzliche Informationen zu ergänzen.
Problem entdecken → vorhandene Issues suchen → Informationen sammeln → Issue erstellen → Rückfragen beantworten → gemeinsam Ursache finden → Lösung → Issue schließen
Wichtig dabei: Ein Issue ist keine Bestellung an die Entwickler. Bei vielen Fediverse-Projekten arbeiten Menschen freiwillig in ihrer Freizeit. Ein freundlicher, sachlicher und möglichst vollständiger Bericht erleichtert ihnen die Arbeit erheblich.
Open-Source-Software lebt von Beteiligung. Man muss nicht programmieren können, um zur Entwicklung beizutragen.
Ein gut geschriebenes Issue kann bereits ein wertvoller Beitrag sein. Nutzer kennen Probleme aus ihrem Alltag, Administratoren sehen die Auswirkungen auf ihren Instanzen und Entwickler können daraus technische Lösungen entwickeln.
Issues verbinden damit Nutzer, Admins und Entwickler. 🤝
Fehler finden ist keine Kritik am Projekt – einen Fehler nachvollziehbar zu melden kann aktive Mitarbeit am Projekt sein.
Vielleicht hilft diese kleine Zusammenfassung dem einen oder anderen dabei, beim nächsten entdeckten Fehler, einer Idee oder einem Verbesserungsvorschlag selbst den Weg zum Issue-Tracker zu finden.
Denn auch ohne selbst programmieren zu können, können wir mit guten und aussagekräftigen Issues einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Weiterentwicklung freier Software leisten. 🤝🌐

dropQbsd porting from OpenBSD to FreeBSD almost complete: testing phase now. Same scripts run on both systems. mksh adopted for full BSD portability. Next challenge: include NextBSD.
The philosophy stays the same: few lines of code, no virtualization, dead-simple configuration. Compartmentalization without virtualization, built on BSD primitives. Most threat models, minimal attack surface.

What if the best AI model for your product is the one you *didn't* train for two years?
That's exactly what we discovered while building a new version of SPOT, our free geolocation verification tool.
Furthermore, SPOT is now officially out of beta: better search, broader OSM coverage, and new tools that make geolocation verification easier than ever.
Full story in our blog, written down by Ruben Bouwmeester.

🌐 Die Fediverse-Sprechstunde ist für heute zu Ende – und es war wieder ein richtig interessanter und informativer Abend! 😊
Ein ganz herzliches Dankeschön an Jens @qbi für seinen gut vorbereiteten und verständlichen Vortrag zum Thema „Was sind Issues und wie erstelle ich welche?“. 🐞💡
Vielen Dank auch an Karin @gunchleoc für ihre Ergänzungen und die hilfreichen Einblicke aus der Praxis und Entwicklung. Gerade die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven haben noch einmal gezeigt, wie wichtig gute und aussagekräftige Issues für die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Nutzern, Administratoren und Entwicklern sind.
Und natürlich ein großes Dankeschön an alle Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer! 🤝
Eure Fragen, Erfahrungen, Ergänzungen und die daraus entstandenen Gespräche haben die Sprechstunde wieder zu einem gemeinsamen Austausch gemacht. Ich denke, wir konnten heute einige interessante Einblicke gewinnen – und vielleicht ist bei dem einen oder anderen auch die Hemmschwelle gesunken, künftig selbst einmal ein Issue zu erstellen. 😉
Aber wie heißt es so schön:

AI Agents in Container Security: Practical Experience
Zero-CVE images through Agentic AI: Red Hat’s Hummingbird project shows how AI agents automate container security – and where humans remain indispensable.

«Kernel.org — 98 Prozent des Linux-Kernel-Archiv-Traffics sind wohl keine Menschen:
Bots scrapen die gesamte Sammlung an Kernel-Commits und -Forks. Schließlich ist der Linux-Kernel eine exzellente Quelle menschlicher Arbeit.»
Weshalb erinnern.mich die KI's an den Bots seit je her? Die sind also so intelligent, dass die den menschlichen Arbeit schamlos beklauen (ich weiss Linux ist Open Source aber trotzdem)

I don't often listen to corporate broadcast radio, but today one of the stations in my market were using the phrase "guaranteed human" on most of their bumpers.
Maybe 2 out of 3 yards in my neighborhood have anti AI/data center signs in their yards.
Very few things unify people to this extent. Free software "leaders" are on the wrong side of history on this issue and need to get out of the house more to understand why.
Just removed
from my little profile list of "essentials" and from my last workstation.
The act of doing so does not bring me joy.

Frage: Wer ist aus Eurer Sicht die "deutsche Karen Hao" oder der "deutsche Cory Doctorow", wenn es um das Thema KI geht?
Gesucht wird eine Speaker:in, die kritisch beleuchten kann, wie sich KI wie Claude etc. auf die Softwareentwicklung insbesondere im Open-Source-Bereich auswirkt. Es geht um Fragen wie "Was ist Open Source in Zeiten von Agentic Engineering?" und "Wie wirkt sich der Preisverfall bei Softwareerstellung auch auf die Open-Source-Branche aus?"
Please repost 🔄, danke!

We’re currently working on Parch Immutable, an immutable edition of Parch GNU/Linux that is planned to become the foundation of our future commercial project, Apadana.
Right now, Parch Immutable is built around bootc, and we’re testing its potential as a stable, lightweight, and modern operating system for personal desktops.
In the initial beta release, software installation will primarily be handled through Flatpak. We’re also shipping Distrobox and Waydroid by default, allowing users to run additional Linux software and Android applications without compromising the base system.
Our primary desktop environment remains KDE Plasma. We’ve also made contributions to KDE from time to time, particularly around Persian localization and translation.
We’re planning to bring the same architecture to Parch Mobile as well, with an experimental build coming soon for testing.
We’d genuinely appreciate your technical feedback, ideas, and suggestions that could help us improve Parch Immutable and, more broadly, contribute to the growth of the free and open-source software ecosystem in Iran and internationally.
