🔔 Hubzilla-Freunde & Hubzilla-Neugierige aufgepasst!

Der nächste Hubzilla-Workshop steht an – und das Thema ist so umfangreich, dass wir es auf zwei Termine aufteilen. Ideal für Einsteiger und Fortgeschrittene! 🚀

🧩 4. Hubzilla-Workshop
📅 Mittwoch, 28. Januar 2026
🕢 19:30 Uhr

Thema:
👉 Das Berechtigungssystem von Hubzilla – Teil 1

Hubzilla verfügt über eines der ausgefeiltesten Berechtigungssysteme im gesamten Fediverse. In Teil 1 schauen wir uns die Grundlagen an:

• Identität = Kanal
• Profile
• Whitelist-Prinzip
• Die Stufen des Berechtigungssystems
– Kanalrolle
– Kontaktrolle
– Berechtigungs-Einstellungen

------

🧩 5. Hubzilla-Workshop
📅 Mittwoch, 11. Februar 2026
🕢 19:30 Uhr

Thema:
👉 Das Berechtigungssystem von Hubzilla – Teil 2

In Teil 2 gehen wir tiefer und zeigen, was mit Hubzilla wirklich möglich ist:

• Helfer: Privacy-Gruppen
• Helfer: Privacy-Einstellungen
• Ein eigenes Berechtigungssystem konfigurieren
• Berechtigungen extrem – aber eigentlich gar nicht so extrem 😉
• Inhaltsfilter, NSFW & Superblock

✨ Neugierig geworden?
Wenn ihr verstehen wollt, wie mächtig das Berechtigungssystem von Hubzilla ist und wie ihr alle Features sinnvoll nutzen könnt, solltet ihr euch diese Workshops nicht entgehen lassen!

A recent comment on one of my videos reminded me that some people think switching from Windows to Mac is somehow escaping their masters.

You are leaving one cage for another.

The Mac experience is great until you want to do something Apple has not pre-approved. True freedom is not just about a stable UI. It is about hardware repairability and software sovereignty, two things Apple has always fought against.

As Benjamin Franklin said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Don't trade your sovereignty for convenience.

Running Mastodon on FreeBSD? Stop using wrapper scripts that break service status.

I've refactored the init scripts for Sidekiq, Puma, and Streaming to be fully production-grade:

- Clean privilege dropping (no su wrappers)
- Native signal handling for log rotation
- Correct PID tracking & status reporting.

I published the scripts and the reasoning behind them in my Codeberg gists:

https://codeberg.org/Larvitz/gists/src/branch/main/2026/20250115-FreeBSD_Mastodon_rc.d.md

Microsoft is inciting fear everywhere that it is impossible to get the services you need by using open source tool or agnostic services to cover all the needs of an organization. In most situations this is utter bullshit.

It pisses me off.

It is up to every organization to choose how to deliver facilities / tools. Just start to use the available knowledge and willingness of people to help you to achieve an agnostic and mostly open source ecosystem.

It was great having a video call with @josschuurmans - nice to meet you! We chatted for almost two hours about open source.

Ob es in absehbarer Zeit wirkliche Unabhängigkeit geben kann, weiß ich nicht. Alternative Angebote sind hier essenziell wichtig.
Einen großen Teil gibt es diesbezüglich schon, z.B. Messenger wie #Signal und verschiedene für Matrix (#SchildiChat, #Element).
Ferner #Linux statt Windows, #OpenSource statt MS Office, Mail-Anbieter wie #posteo und #mailbox_org und #Proton. Anbieter für Cloudspeicher wie #Nextcloud und #Ionos.

Ganz wichtig, denke ich, ist es auch, dass wir Nutzer bereit sein müssen, uns umzustellen und Neues zu lernen. Und vor allen Dingen nicht erwarten, dass uns alles auf dem Silbertablett serviert wird. Eigeninitiative und selbstständiges Erarbeiten sind für mich entscheidende Stichworte.

Jeff Bezos is saying the quiet part out loud. They want to kill local computing.

You will own nothing and be happy. You will rent your computing power from the cloud. You pay a subscription for the privilege of using a computer.

AI demand is artificially spiking DRAM prices and Big Tech is pushing "AI PCs," the squeeze is on to force us into a rental model.

⚠️ Digitale Souveränität in Gefahr?
US-Behörden können unter bestimmten Umständen auf europäische Cloud-Daten zugreifen – auch bei Microsoft. Fachleute warnen seit Langem vor genau diesem Risiko.
Umso unverständlicher ist die Ankündigung, Bayerns Verwaltungen umfassend mit Microsoft-Lizenzen auszustatten.
Angesichts der aktuellen globalen Sicherheitslage ist eine kritische Neubewertung der IT-Strategie dringend erforderlich.
Statt neuer Abhängigkeiten braucht es jetzt eine Stärkung europäischer Anbieter und echte digitale Souveränität.
👉 Hoffnung bleibt, dass Bayern diese Entscheidung noch einmal überdenkt.

Some people in the #Python community seem to have some people upset at the PSF taking money from Anthropic. This baffles me a great deal because one of the biggest issues facing the OSS community in general is that big companies make their money from the hard work of the volunteers who build the OSS. This is a company - yes, a somewhat distasteful one but, IMO, no worse than Amazon, Google, or Meta - giving back to the community. This is what we are asking for.

I haven't followed Thunderbird Pro development super closely, but it *looks* like they've locked in a price. Is this a new detail? At any rate, I'd definitely pay $9/month for a hosted Thunderbird email plan with 30GB of storage, 15 email addresses, and 3 custom domains. (The 300GB of Send Storage also feels fair).

Great work by @jcs.org for a HUGE improvement to #BlueSCSI Wi-Fi Speed- will be in the next release but did a quick pre-release build with his branch if you want to try it out today!

> The result of all that debugging is a 691% speed-up in #EtherTalk speed when going over BlueSCSI Wi-Fi - via jcs

Oh and @twvd already merged these fixes into SnowEmu for a much faster experience there as well!

I wrote a blog about some thoughts I had on modern day #opensource

There used to be the Cathedral and the Bazaar, but now we have Megachurches also

If we look at many of the things that started out in the Bazaar but got big and needed infrastructure, they didn't build cathedrals, they built megachurches

Have you paid your tithe this year?

And honestly, without lying: I don’t have a knack for design so yes, I use AI tools for logos because I’m not even slightly into design. Sad!

As Frank said, the better way would probably be by providing alternatives and contributing to projects instead of ranting. Ranting is easy, long-term contributing isn’t!

@vonpearly @zendis Dieses Sabatical nicht. Aber München hat damals das Projekt #LiMux gehabt. Umstellung der Verwaltung auf #OpenSource. Das Projekt war Ende 2013 abgeschlossen, ein Erfolg und sparte Geld.
Es gab dann einen eMail-Blackout. Verursacht durch eine kommerzielle Software. Es lag nicht an #OSS. Dennoch wurde #FOSS in Frage gestellt.
#Microsoft zog dann den deutschen Hauptsitz 2016 um nach München. 2017 fiel im Stadtrat die Entscheidung alles zurück auf Windows.
Das zeitliche Zusammentreffen der letzten beiden Punkte zu beurteilen überlasse ich jedem selber. Ich weiß, was ich daraus schließe.
2020 beschloss die Stadtregierung dann zurück zu OSS zu gehen. Dieses wurde aber nie gemacht. Wer den Beschluss ignorierte und dagegen handelte ist mir nicht bekannt.
Ab 2022 kam dann auf alle Rechner #Windows und MS Office. #Libreoffice sollte dann bis 2023 auch wieder vollständig verschwinden.

Having redundancy is important on many levels.

If we specifically look at the FediVerse, all of us need to realize the following:

* There is no cloud it is somebody else's computer.
* Having that server online costs money.
* cash is deliberately kept scarce by those in power.

At the end of December 2025 I received a dreadful message from the maintainer of a FediVerse server owner. It is the second of such dreadful messages. The owner had to shut down the server because the costs to keep it online where unbearable.

This particular case jumped out because the costs were about two and a half thousand dollars per month!

I immediately ask myself what kind of configuration was run, in order to justify that heavy amount of money to run the server. USD 2500 is on the amount of a monthly salary of skillful people living in highly developed countries.
In my country people have to make do with pennies in comparison for a full month's work

I have an internet friend who runs FediVerse servers setups, using freeBSD tools on VMs which cost him just EUR 4 a month per VM. If those two people had only met at the time that the second one was creating a server he would have stayed online for years, with just one month of his spending; 625 months to be exact. Per year that would be 7500 months which would be 625 years much longer than the lifespan of all of us reading this.

Alas they've had no contact and another one bit the dust.

All of us who are users on different servers, need to realize that somebody is always paying the bill

It can vary from just EUR 4 but can even climb to astronomical levels of USD two and a half thousand as I learned then.

I'm fortunate enough that I'm from a period where everything needed to be done from scratch

I'm one of the three persons who set up the foundation of the internet in my country. Back then we had a 9600 BPS fax modem from the brand of Telebit donated by the OAS. Linux did not exist. We used waffle as our BBS front end on a single tasking os.

When you wanted to fetch an image you had to go through Archie for search, FTPmail at decwrl.dec.com, to transfer the file, learn scripting languages, before you could get one image from nasa.gov.

You had to Binary convert and uuencode the jpeg file hack it into 64kB pieces, and revert the process at arrival, before you could see it.

All connections were once a week where you needed to dial internationally to upr2.clu.net which cost a hefty amount of money almost bankrupting the director of the University computer center who initially payed out of pocket.

I know how much the internet can cost when you need to run a server.

Always be thankful and grateful when you're allowed to work on someone else's computer on the internet

Realize that on walled Gardens you pay with your data, personal uniquely identifiable data. Walled Gardens sell your data for about USD 4000 a person.

Make accounts on different FediVerse servers so that you are not cut off, when one bites the dust.

Use your own offline storage for your important documents toots.

Used triple tier backup systems.

Remember that someone always pays a bill for whatever you do on the internet.

Deno installation on Linux is luckily also trivial. I did it in Debian based distributions, on X86 and ARM.

Deno is needed for ytdlp because a full JavaScript stack needs to be invoked to tame the Beast of YouTube. Ytdlp does not need deno anywhere else.

It's still the only way to ensure that Alphabet gets the least information possible from you, when you have to fetch some data that is served from there. Thanks to ytdlp I play with typescript in deno

@aredridel While I don't use or like TailwindCSS as a tool, I think it's nice to see community tools like this develop & succeed. And finding ways to monetize open source as a creator is what the industry needs.

But #OpenSource is an ideal that's really at odds with human nature. The licenses that became standardized for OSS really needed to have clauses for commercial use or use over $x of revenue needing to contribute back financially. It becomes unsustainable at scale. 💔

There are many ways to multi material….
