Just a quick note: on first boot, the laptop didn’t connect to Wi-Fi because the driver (iwlwifi module – https://man.freebsd.org/iwlwifi/4) was missing.
If you run into the same issue, just enable USB tethering on your smartphone, load urndis (https://man.freebsd.org/urndis/4), and simply run # fwget (https://man.freebsd.org/fwget/8).

🚀 I launched my latest security research project — RBAC Atlas — to deepen my understanding of Kubernetes and evaluate the security posture of the open source ecosystem.

🧭 RBAC Atlas is a searchable, visual index of risky RBAC policies across Kubernetes-based OSS projects. Through this research, I analyzed:

1. 100+ popular open source projects
2. Hundreds of Roles, RoleBindings, and their granted permissions
3. Risk categories like CredentialAccess, SecretExposure, PrivilegeEscalation, and more

This project was built to help platform teams, security engineers, and OSS maintainers identify and reduce RBAC misconfigurations — one of the most overlooked Kubernetes security risks.

If this sounds useful, connect with me — or feel free to share it with anyone on your team who might be interested.

I switched to Apple Music a couple of years ago, getting frustrated with Spotify's UI and playlist-focused listening approach. Most of the time, I just want to listen to something. I know it sounds lazy, but I have a massive music collection. I like to think my listening habits aren't platform-dependent.

Then I discovered this open-source tool called Spicetify, which allows me to modify the Spotify UI and features freely. Feels nice to be able to make the UI a bit more tolerable.

I have taken the following variables as having these values;

• One HDD or SSD divided into several partitions.

• A boot manager

• Knowledge of the rEFI utility, which enables you to manage several EFI systems on multiple drives.

Under these conditions it is a matter of installing both Operating Systems on their separate partitions, while managing them with either just the boot manager or the combination of the boot manager and the rEFI manager. With rEFI you have the flexibility of also going to multiple drives

Proton can get hacked any time, like any other company, and also the new Swiss law can force them to hand over all that personal data in plain text, so you can mess up your privacy really badly. I'm not pointing fingers at Proton, but I think this update wasn't quite a good idea, it puts too much responsibility on them.)

After the transformation away from US services and products, it's time to go one step further.

As I have already announced, I will soon be replacing my Pixel 9 with Graphene OS with a Fairphone 6 with /e/OS from Murena.

Although I personally really appreciate Graphene OS and am an avid user, I'm not sure what the future will bring under the fascist Trump. As I said, he can force US companies to hand over data of European users or turn off their services for Europe with the stroke of a pen. Or whatever other stupid things this orange psychopath can think of. Pixel devices from Google are another point.

However, I'm still considering a Framework Laptop 12 for my future laptop because of its sustainability and reparability.

Framework? AN US COMPANY??? Yes, unfortunately there is no European equivalent in this field, but unlike software and internet solutions, I am relatively independent after the purchase. The worst case would be if I could no longer buy current components. But then the Framework would be just like any other computer, which is generally almost impossible to repair or upgrade. But I want to keep that option open.

And I hope - like the rest of the world - that the fascist and criminal spook in the USA will soon be over and the situation there will return to some semblance of normality. Hope dies last...

I got yet another Mac. It's a Macbook Air 13" from 2012, got it for $120. I love these old Intel Macs. Obviously the old MacOS was deleted to make space for an updated Linux Mint. Everything worked great, except the b43 wifi driver, which made the laptop not to wake up from sleep. I blacklisted 2-3 drivers it was pulling along with it, and I now use a tiny wifi dongle with great success. Overall, very happy.

If you are an open source maintainer and you want to give a big middle finger to #AI and #LLM code generators: introduce breaking changes where you can. Make it so the very latest version of your library/software/etc will fail badly if it is used like it was in 2022.

AI code assistants will always write code based on the 2021-2023 way of doing things. But they are also likely to “use the latest version” (whatever that means in context). So if the 2025 version of something is incompatible with how code was written in 2021-2023, the AI will write code that breaks when used with the latest version. And no matter how the user desperately begs, the AI is not going to generate working code until the model is trained on enough examples of the new API/data structure/protocol/etc.

Breaking changes in APIs, data structures, etc are the sand in the gears of the supposed LLM coding revolution.

Anyone who really does own a major OSS project (I don’t) will recognize the other side of this: the users of that library will be annoyed. Breaking changes are hard on legit users, too. People using LLMs will come to hate that library because their AIs can’t write code that works with it. HOWEVER: AI code writers will never produce a viable alternative that works better. You have to know the problem and know the solution space to write good software, and AI code authors rarely are that.

So this is a way to push back against the LLM based code generators: keep adding features and making new ways of doing things. Even creating new libraries with new names or renaming old libraries to new names is probably enough.

🇫🇷 GendBuntu – 100.000 PCs com Linux na polícia francesa

Anos atrás, a gendarmaria francesa implementou algo que muitas vezes ainda é apresentado como impossível na Suíça: ela gradualmente converteu seus computadores do Windows para sua própria distribuição Linux.

Como o objetivo foi alcançado?
Passo a passo, os aplicativos comerciais foram substituídos por produtos de código aberto:
2004: O OpenOffice substituiu 20.000 instalações do Microsoft Office.
2006: A mudança para o navegador Firefox começou.
2008: Foi tomada a decisão de migrar completamente para o Linux.

Nos anos seguintes, os computadores Windows foram continuamente substituídos por sistemas com a distribuição Linux interna GendBuntu. Os serviços de suporte também foram convertidos em código aberto (por exemplo, monitoramento com nagios)

Em junho de 2024, 97% de todas as estações de trabalho – um total de 103.164 PCs – estavam executando o GendBuntu.

📄 Mais sobre o projeto na Wikipedia: https://lnkd.in/dSbMmtt6

Apesar do grande sucesso, esses projetos Linux de longo prazo são falados muito raramente.

#loops #FOSS #fediverse #fosswashing #opensource #pixelfed #informedconsent #freeinformation

Loops has many users and got a ton of funding way back in June 2024 (9 months ago) but I don't see any development , app side or back end side for federating code to even become 'stable enough' to implement federation. They are not currently federated despite labelling themselves as such in their KICKSTARTER to get funds and in their grant with the EU. Of course there's been no current backend code released in 3 months, so there's no way to see if they're actually working on it or not. Again, loops is not actually open source. Which begs the question, how do you know if it's stable or not, let alone that it exists or that they're not misusing funds? I'm not a software developer so if I missed where they'd be working on it, let me know. Otherwise, I call it as I see it: scammy.

#loops #pixelfed #opensource #fediverse #activitypub

I believe Dan plans to never #federate , revoke federation, or at least retain the ability to do so. See term 2 on Loop's website: https://loops.video/legal/terms-of-service
which says such things as "under this license you may not:...use the materials for any commercial purpose, or for any public display (commercial or non-commercial);.....transfer the materials to another person or "mirror" and the materials on any other server...This license shall automatically terminate if you violate any of these restrictions and may be terminated by Loops at any time." and "Loops may revise these terms of service for its website at any time without notice" Loops' terms are not open source and could be used to justify #defederation or changing policy on federation. And considering how dan behaves with peers who disagree with him, I could see him deciding federation isn't what he wants to do with Loops, which he treats not as an #opensource thing but as #proprietary
NO #FOSSWASHING

“The reality is also that money doesn’t solve all problems, unfortunately. It can create wrong incentives, it can increase stress and pressure, it can rip communities apart, it can do good in the short term but harm in the long term. We need to take all of these factors into account, if we want to channel support into our shared digital infrastructure, into #OpenSource communities.”

Mein Anwalt meinte nach der Verhandlung: "So kann ein Vergleich sich auch anfühlen wie ein totaler Sieg." 🙂
Mir egal, ich finde es immer schade.
Übrigens: wenn Menschen teuere Anwälte bemühen, nur um andere zum Schweigen zu bringen, nennt man das SLAPP. Hilfe bietet da die #noslapp Initiative https://www.noslapp.de/
Die Anwälte hier kosteten wohl >600€/h und erfüllten (so mein Anwalt "alle Kritierien von SLAPP"). Geld, das Menschen für #opensource zahlten.

All the code I write is open source. I do that because I don't want others to have to sweat through the same challenges. I want them to learn from it, change it, make it better. Be part of the community, and hoping that those that use my code give back.

I think we need a new GPL license that says "if this code is used by AI to generate new code then that code must also be GPL4"

Yes, the gpl should already be doing this, but maybe something more explicit is due.

After Linux Mint and Cinnamon looked a bit old-fashioned and dusty, I gave Cinnamon a facelift following these good instructions. Now it looks really cool and modern!

https://youtu.be/OwBKbuy7U8s

#linux #linuxmint #cinnamon #opensource #freesoftware

My complete setup is currently as follows:

Linux Mint and FreeBSD on all my computers and notebooks
Pixel 9 with Graphene OS (but will be replaced by a new Fairphone 6 with /e/OS from Murena in the future)
Connected via KDE Connect
Office with LibreOffice
My own Nextcloud for files, photos, calendar and contacts
Hardened Firefox with uBlock Origin
Freetube and Newpipe instead of YouTube
Ecosia search instead of Google
Proton Mail and Tutanota Mail
Simple fitness tracker with watch, Pedometer, sleep tracker and calorie counter without Bluetooth and app connection instead of spying smartwatch and "health apps" such as Fitbit, Apple or Samsung Health
Manual recording of my health data such as blood pressure, blood sugar, sleep, steps and more in a LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet, can be easily converted into a PDF for my doctors to evaluate

Am I missing anything? Absolutely not! This setup works just as smoothly and conveniently as previous ecosystem solutions from Apple, Google or Samsung. Only with significantly more privacy, without tracking and surveillance by US Big Tech

#linux #unix #freebsd #linuxmint #opensource #freesoftware #nextcloud #privacy #grapheneos #murena #fairphone #eos #libreoffice #protonmail #tutanota #firefox #kdeconnect #ecosia #google #newpipe #youtube

Yes, I am a very political person. And that's why the unbelievable has happened in the last few days: as an old Linux and Unix user since the 1980s, I've switched from Fedora to Linux Mint... (and I'm still using FreeBSD too)

Technically a step backwards, as Fedora is far more up-to-date and modern, but politically and morally a step forward. Why?

Here in Europe, since the fascist, racist, narcissist, uneducated primitive moron and would-be dictator Trump became president again, the debate about dependence on US big tech has flared up. And it has finally dawned on Europe to become digitally independent of the USA. What is a difficult and long-term process for politicians and companies (but the main thing is that it finally gets rolling) is much easier and quicker for private individuals - if only they want to.

Fedora = Red Hat = IBM.
I was a fan of Red Hat and Fedora for decades. That has changed since the IBM takeover.
And now that a fascist is in power and can ban US companies from offering their services and products in Europe or requesting data from European users in a minute with “executive orders”, I can no longer justify the use of a US distribution for myself and can no longer recommend it to anyone, but only an independent, European distribution such as Mint.

I woke up to a comment so smug, so perfectly soaked in gatekeeping and faux-righteous posturing, it earned its own blog post.
You want freedom? You want GNU/Linux to mean something?
Then maybe start by not telling disabled users to go fuck themselves with a smile.
This commenter thought they were defending "software freedom." What they were really doing was kicking people out of the room. Dismissing accessibility. Mocking effort. Pretending that cruelty is some kind of rite of passage. They quoted Stallman like it was scripture, ignored real-world experience like it was noise, and wrapped it all in condescension dressed as virtue.
I’ve spent over a decade in this ecosystem. Writing patches. Rebuilding broken stacks. Helping blind users boot systems upstream doesn’t even test. I didn’t "just install Arch and whine about the terminal." I lived in it. I survived it. I held it together when maintainers disappeared and no one else gave a damn.
But apparently, because I didn’t call it GNU/Linux™ and because I dared to talk about how this OS chews people up and spits them out, I’m lazy. I’m weak. I should "get a dog."
So I wrote a response. Line by line. No mercy. No euphemisms.
This isn’t just about one comment. This is about every time someone’s been told they don’t belong because they couldn’t learn fast enough, code well enough, or survive long enough. It’s about everyone who was pushed out while the gatekeepers patted themselves on the back for "preserving the spirit of free software."
You want a free system? Start by making it livable. Because freedom that demands you crawl bleeding through a broken bootloader isn’t freedom. It’s abandonment dressed in ideology.
And if this kind of gatekeeping is your idea of community?
You can keep it.
