How much IP data should you use for geolocation?

Matomo lets you choose.

🟢 Green visit: all four IP bytes were available for geolocation.
🔵 Blue visit: only the first two IP bytes were available for geolocation.

Same laptop. Same actual location in Germany. Different geolocation precision.

You can choose the balance between location accuracy and IP anonymization that fits your requirements.

🤖 KI ist weder Heilsbringer noch Teufelszeug – sie ist ein Werkzeug.

Kaum ein technisches Thema wird derzeit so emotional diskutiert wie Künstliche Intelligenz.

Auf der einen Seite werden enorme Erwartungen geweckt. Auf der anderen Seite wird teilweise bereits die bloße Nutzung von KI pauschal verurteilt.

Ich finde: Beides hilft uns nicht weiter.

Für mich ist KI zunächst einmal ein Werkzeug. Eines, das inzwischen erstaunlich nützlich sein kann.

Bei der Fehlersuche auf einem Server. Beim Analysieren von Logdateien. Beim Programmieren. Bei der Recherche. Um komplizierte Zusammenhänge verständlicher aufzubereiten. Oder manchmal auch einfach für eine kreative Spielerei.

Aber wie bei jedem Werkzeug gilt:

Benutze das Werkzeug, das dir bei der Lösung eines Problems hilft – aber verstehe, was du damit tust.

Denn KI kann Fehler machen. Sie kann Dinge erfinden. Und sie kann falsche Antworten mit einer Überzeugung präsentieren, bei der man zweimal hinschauen sollte. 😉

Gerade deshalb ersetzt KI für mich weder Wissen noch Erfahrung oder eigenes Denken.

Genauso wenig sollten wir die berechtigte Kritik ausblenden: Energie- und Ressourcenverbrauch, Trainingsdaten und Urheberrecht, Datenschutz, Abhängigkeiten von großen Konzernen und die gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen dieser Technologie sind wichtige Themen.

Darüber müssen wir reden – sachlich und durchaus kritisch.

Was mir dagegen zunehmend schwerfällt, ist die pauschale Einteilung in „KI ist großartig“ oder „KI ist grundsätzlich schlecht“.

Zwischen blinder Begeisterung und vollständiger Verteufelung gibt es ziemlich viel Raum für einen vernünftigen Umgang mit dieser Technologie.

Und am Ende bleibt für mich ein entscheidender Punkt:

Ein Werkzeug nimmt uns die Verantwortung für seine Verwendung nicht ab.

Genau darüber habe ich im Admin-Blog etwas ausführlicher geschrieben:

➡️ KI im Werkzeugkasten des Admins – weder Heilsbringer noch Teufelszeug

Mich würde interessieren, wie ihr das seht: Welche Rolle spielt KI inzwischen für euch? Nützliches Werkzeug, etwas, das ihr bewusst meidet – oder irgendwo dazwischen?

Corporate AI is just a fancy wrapper for data extraction and control. If we let a few companies own the weights, we lose the ability to audit how these systems think.

The #Laravel head schema builders are genuinely well-designed. We built a `Schema::` abstraction on top. Breadcrumbs on 7 page types, dynamic FAQ on plugin detail pages, WebSite + Organization on the homepage. All wired through `Head::schema()`.

But we kept OG image generation custom (the package doesn't render images), and our model-level SEO accessors still live outside the package.
My article covers where the package shines and where it stops.

Next milestone achieved 🍾

Merged into Symfony core.

max_depth was counted per runtime class name. A Doctrine proxy is a subclass of the entity, so it got its own counter, and a graph with max_depth 1 serialized two levels deep instead of one.

The depth key now falls back to the parent class when the parent declares the same MaxDepth. Proxy and entity share one counter.

The issue was opened in October 2024. 685 days in the tracker before someone got to it.

Landed in 6.4 LTS, merged by nicolas-grekas, upmerges to 7.4 and 8.1 next.

Чому ми вирішили зробити власний форк пошукової системи замість готового рішення.

Варіантів було небагато: платити за чужий API і залежати від лімітів та політики постачальника, або будувати з нуля роками. Обрали третій шлях: взяли відкритий рушій YaCy як базу і почали переробляти під власні задачі.

На сьогодні код змінений на 20-40 відсотків від оригіналу, і це не косметика.

Повністю переробили візуал і кабінет веб-майстра. Додали векторний пошук для релевантніших результатів замість простого збігу ключових слів. Побудували алгоритм, який відстежує запити без результату і використовує це для пріоритезації індексації. Впровадили систему виявлення неетичного контенту ще на етапі індексу.

І це далеко не весь список.

Готове рішення дає швидкий старт, але забирає контроль над найважливішим: як саме працює пошук для твоїх користувачів.

VLC starts very slowly on Windows 11? It takes ages to appear when you open a file?
Some users reported that the issue could be caused by a security conflict with Windows Defender!

Workaround until the bug is fixed:

1. Open this official Microsoft support page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-US/Windows/Security/Threat-Malware-Protection/virus-and-threat-protection-in-the-windows-security-app
2. Scroll down and click on the blue "Virus & threat protection settings" button;
3. In the Windows Defender window, click on the link manage the settings and add an exception for the plugins.dat cache file in the VLC installation folder (only exclude the specific plugins.dat file!). If you have difficulty reaching this step or the button does not work, go to START → Settings → Privacy & security → Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Manage settings → Exclusions;
4. Backup your VLC settings (if necessary), then close all windows of VLC, and manually quit the application using the context menu if a tray icon or any plugin widget is still visible on the screen;
5. Download an up-to-date version of VLC from the official website of the VideoLAN organization: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/
6. Install VLC, overwriting the existing installation;
7. Reboot, start VLC and check whether the delay has improved.

Power users: steps 5 to 7 are optional, because VLC also includes a dedicated command line tool (vlc-cache-gen.exe) to regenerate the VLC cache.

WE REPORT FEWER INSTALLED APPS NOW. THAT IS THE FIX.

That number on the card went from 3,981 to 791 and it is the thing I am proudest of in this release.

In 2018 I wanted a list of the apps installed on an iPhone. I thought that was one question. It is at least six, and no single artifact answers all of them.

So we tested it properly, iOS 12 through iOS 26, every registered test image we have. The old installed summary had been counting app extensions, malformed bundle IDs, and apps known only from container activity. Strip those out and the count drops by 80 percent. Nothing was thrown away. It moved to a table whose label says exactly what the evidence supports, and the historical view got bigger at the same time, 9,575 rows to 11,786.

The history got bigger. The claim got smaller. That is the trade I want every time.

My favorite detail: on one public test image, two apps being removed produced seventeen container destruction rows in nine seconds, because every app extension owns its own container. Read those rows as apps and you would report a phone shedding seventeen. It shed two.

An inventory and a stack of receipts are both useful. They are not interchangeable.

I have finally created my own image sharing website with end-to-end encryption! Feels so darn good

But to be honest, everything is built by me, but not the encryption on client side, management on server side, and to view the thumbnails in the gallery when logged in without breaking the encryption.

But I am very proud of the result anyway!

More info: https://pic.airikr.me

The source code can be found on my self-hosted Forgejo server since Codeberg are trying to fight to "get rid off" AI generated code. I understand them and I understand the risk, though.

But why AI? Without AI, I would not be able to create this project with end-to-end encryption at all since I suck at JavaScript.

I miss being part of a team. Very specifically, the collaborative energy of like-minded people in the #opensource community striving toward a common goal.

I don't say this because I'm looking for employment. At this point in my life, I just miss using my skills to help make a difference. You know?

That said, I wonder if I might find contentment volunteering for an open source project. Who out there needs help?

When it comes to my daily personal computer, i use #LinuxMint and really enjoy the experience. I use the cinnamon environment which just works with everything which i love.
I have tried other Distros like Bazzite, SteamOS, Ubuntu & Debian for my daily PC but they all required alot more tinkering then i prefer for a daily PC.
Now I want to move my Homelab off my daily PC and put it onto its own environment/Computer to have my own home server.
Question is, what Distro should i use for my home server?
Some of the options i been looking at are the following:
Linux Mint XFCE (Similar to my main Distro)
Ubuntu Server (Popular Choice)
Debian (Popular Choice + Familiar With The Environment)
These are just some of the options i been looking at but i never hosted a #homeserver before, so im unsure what would be the best for such an environment.
What is your opinion?

📢 Fediverse-Sprechstunde: Was sind eigentlich „Issues“ – und warum gehen sie uns alle etwas an?

Ihr nutzt Friendica, Mastodon, Hubzilla, Sharkey oder eine andere Fediverse-Software und plötzlich funktioniert etwas nicht so, wie ihr es erwartet? 🤔

Oder ihr denkt euch bei einer Funktion:
„Das könnte man doch besser machen!“

Vielleicht habt ihr auch eine Idee, die ihr gern den Entwicklerinnen und Entwicklern mitteilen würdet.

Dann fällt früher oder später ein Begriff: „Mach doch ein Issue auf.“

Aber was bedeutet das eigentlich?
Was gehört in ein gutes Issue hinein? Wo erstelle ich es? Welche Informationen brauchen Entwickler, um einen Fehler nachvollziehen zu können? Und muss ich dafür überhaupt technische Kenntnisse haben?

Genau darum geht es bei unserer nächsten Fediverse-Sprechstunde:

📅 Montag, 31. August 2026
🕢 19:30 Uhr
💻 Online

🔎 Was sind Issues und wie erstelle ich welche?

Für dieses Thema konnten wir Jens (@qbi ) gewinnen. Einige von euch kennen ihn vielleicht bereits aus unserer Fediverse-Sprechstunde zum Thema BookWyrm.

Jens ist Administrator und Entwickler und kennt Issues nicht nur aus der Theorie, sondern aus der täglichen Praxis. Gemeinsam wollen wir uns anschauen, wie aus einem beobachteten Problem, einer Idee oder einem Verbesserungsvorschlag ein Issue wird, mit dem Entwickler auch wirklich etwas anfangen können.

Dabei geht es ausdrücklich nicht nur um Entwickler oder Administratoren!

Denn freie und offene Software lebt auch davon, dass diejenigen, die sie täglich benutzen, Rückmeldungen geben. Niemand kann jeden Fehler selbst entdecken und niemand kennt alle Wünsche und Probleme der Nutzerinnen und Nutzer.

Ein gut beschriebenes Issue kann deshalb ein kleiner, aber sehr wertvoller Beitrag zur Weiterentwicklung einer Software sein. 🌱

Und vielleicht nehmen wir dabei auch ein wenig die Scheu vor Plattformen wie GitHub oder Codeberg. 😉

Ihr müsst dafür keine Programmierer sein und keinen Quellcode verstehen. Neugier und Fragen reichen völlig aus.

💬 Was ist überhaupt ein Issue?
🐞 Wie melde ich einen Fehler sinnvoll?
💡 Kann ich auch Ideen und Verbesserungsvorschläge einreichen?
📝 Welche Angaben gehören hinein?
🔍 Sollte ich vorher prüfen, ob es bereits ein ähnliches Issue gibt?
🤝 Wie erleichtere ich Entwicklern die Arbeit?

Und natürlich bleibt wie immer Raum für eure Fragen und den gemeinsamen Austausch.

Die Fediverse-Sprechstunde soll kein Frontalunterricht sein. Sie ist ein Treffpunkt zum Fragen, Erklären, Ausprobieren und voneinander Lernen – für Einsteiger ebenso wie für erfahrene Nutzer, Administratoren und Entwickler.

🌐 Mehr Miteinander statt Gegeneinander.

Gerade im Fediverse gehören Nutzer, Administratoren und Entwickler zusammen. Wenn wir besser verstehen, wie die jeweils anderen arbeiten und wie wir uns gegenseitig unterstützen können, profitiert am Ende das gesamte Fediverse davon.

👉 Montag, 31.08.2026 um 19:30 Uhr

💻 Konferenzraum:
campus.ws-12.de/rooms/8p9-mvy-…campus.ws-12.de/rooms/8p9-mvy-…

📢 Weitersagen und Teilen ausdrücklich erwünscht!

Vielleicht kennt ihr jemanden, der schon einmal einen Fehler entdeckt hat, eine gute Idee hatte – aber nicht wusste, wie und wo man sie den Entwicklern am besten mitteilt. Bringt ihn oder sie einfach mit. 😊

For free subscribers to my platform liberationtoolbox.io, all of these posts, articles, videos, and various mediums have been made available across my many platforms over the many years for free. And they are still accessible to all through those different platforms.

There are people who have the gall to be upset that I am actually compensated for my labor. If this is you, you should not be here. I do not recommend that you subscribe to the free or paid options of this Liberation Toolbox if you are one of these people.

Currently, on this site, Decolonize.Digital, I have put up the De-Google Your Life (Decentering Big Tech) series, Buildsheet: Community Building series, and the Opt-Out series. I will continue adding tools to each of these series over time. I have some exciting series and tools coming up.

Why now? Why this? When wielded by oppressors, everything, including technology, becomes murderous and rapacious, it becomes digital colonization.

There are better ways for technology. Finding these other liberatory ways, this is my life's work, to Decolonize Digital."

Late Night Linux artwork

I am getting really unhappy with how @e_mydata seems to evolve. It starts to push more @murena services unto it's users.

I have no need for Murena Password. Sorry, but I trust Bitwarden and Proton Pass way more. But I'm being forced to see dark patterns trying to tempt users to enable. I kinda accepted that a little bit, since it's their OS platform.

But now I discovered that SeedVault is gone and replaced with Murena Backup. I had a perfectly fine SeedVault setup which synced backup data in the background to my own backup server (which again is backed up, encrypted, to a server on a different location). Now I seem to need to sign up for a Murena Workspace account. With backup encryption keys tied to Murena Password. That's crossing a line I'm not going to accept.

That means I will need to cash out more to have a backup of my /e/OS devices. For something I already had setup and protects my data and privacy even further than what I believe Murena is willing to do. Yes, there is a free tier Workspace. It's limited to 1GB data, to my understanding. And I doubt their setup, software stack and client side apps has been through a full third-party security audit.

Either I have control of my backup data, or you can try to convince me using a data storage service after showing me your third-party, independent security audit report.

That just.means: NO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I have bought several phones, tablet and accessories from Murena over the years. That stops now. I can no longer recommend Murena to others, as they now seem to move towards a full vendor lock-in corporate model. That is unacceptable to.me.

It's been nice to be able to buy #Fairphone with pre-installed /e/OS. But now I'm going to test out @calyxos moving forward. Despite the firmware flashing inconvenience.

Same model. Same skill. Same task.
Completely different results.

I tested Keep the Why across 6 coding agents and 9 models.

The agent harness mattered far more than I expected.

Gemini: 10/10 in one agent, 0/10 in others.
Grok stayed consistently strong.
Some runs even fabricated compliance.

Don't benchmark only the model.

From Sept 11, the #CyberResilienceAct will require #opensource stewards to report certain incidents* through a portal of theirs.

I wondered how many people could do reporting on behalf of an org, considering the 72h timeline. ENISA answered:

> Only one primary AR can be created per manufacturer, for secondary AR we have put a limit of 20 Ars.
(AR presumably stands for “Authorised Representative”, the reporter)

* actively exploited vulnerabilities, org compromise. See https://www.enisa.europa.eu/topics/product-security/single-reporting-platform-srp

The GUI didn't make computing easier. It made you a passenger.

Type cd .. and you're navigating — you know where you are, where you're going. Click the arrow in your filemanager and you're following a path someone else designed. The first is writing. The second is a reflex.

Same logic from the Airbus that overrode its pilot to the spellchecker that corrects you without asking: the machine's judgment overrides yours, silently, automatically.

Not a feature. A philosophical manifesto.

And when writing came back — through the AI — it returned as supplication, not sovereignty. The closed-source GUI and the undisclosed LLM are the same thing.

Had some more time to play around with the newly acquired #PineNote from @pine64

I got a new user account setup using systemd-homed which gives you an encrypted storage for that user. This will require you to log in with a password each time you fire it it up. I consider that a good thing! I also registered my public SSH keys into the systemd-userdb, which then allows me to log into the device with this user account. During the SSH login, you'll be asked for a password too - which is used to decrypt the home directory. Logging out, and the home directory is locked again.

Also played around with various apps, especially #Xournal++ and #Rnote. Both highly capable.

What currently irks me the most is that the #GNOME desktop environment is really not designed for monochrome displays. There are so many different shades of grey everywhere making it really hard to read the screen. This is even with "High Contrast" enabled. GNOME really need a different working mode for eInk displays.

#Flatpak seems to work fine, but recommend to install apps using the command line and add the --user argument to flatpak install. The user data partition has more storage space available.

Next up will be to get #Syncthing and #OpenVPN setup properly (openvpn3-client installed easily). Considering if I want to setup e-mail on this device or not. With that plus backup (I'll be using #PikaBackup) set up, its getting ready for some real daily use.

I personally haven't got expertise in development of the network and stuff.

But no one outside BCH takes it seriously even when you give them a feedback. And we cannot make a change while we are a minority.

Many things in the world of technology don't make technical sense. But that's how things are. And when we are a minority, we cannot define the rules. We have to go with the rules till we get big enough. Then we'll be able to rule how we want. Like technically sound.

I love open source. I self-host quite a lot, and I'm pleased that I can do that.

But I get frustrated at how often documentation only covers the initial set up. Earlier today I looked at documentation for a service I was considering self-hosting.

It had instructions for installing, but nothing about how to upgrade an existing installation. But it's important to me that I know how to upgrade when a new version is released.

I've seen desktop programs where the documentation has "How to make your first in five minutes". Then the rest of the documents assume a deep understanding, with apparently nothing to help you get from new user to wizard level.

Forked rust-analyzer, deleted 2.3k lines of proc-macro and cargo metadata crates, kept only the LSP features I use daily. Now it peaks at 380 MB instead of 1.2 GB on my M1 Mac.

Rust-glancer is a lightweight alternative for memory-constrained setups. Hover docs, go-to-def, diagnostics, all there. Everything else fails gracefully.

I just released ptrclassify is a small, dependency-free Python library and CLI that infers likely IP usage from reverse-DNS PTR hostnames.

It is intentionally heuristic and multi-label. PTR naming is operator-controlled and is not authoritative evidence of how an address is actually used. The output therefore includes a confidence score, the text that matched, and the rule IDs that produced each label.

To summarize, the library is trying to guess usage (and a bit location) of an IP address based on its PTR records. It's based on a set of rules which can be updated easily.

RT @Itsfoss: Linus Torvalds hat gerade KI eingesetzt, um einen Linux-Kernel-Bug zu beheben. Dies ist ein seltenes Ereignis. Selten, weil Torvalds nicht mehr am Linux-Kernel codet. Er prüft nur Code und Merge-Pull-Requests von Mitwirkenden. Daher ist dies eine seltene Gelegenheit in jüngster Zeit, bei der er selbst einen Kernel-Patch erstellt hat. Und diesmal hat er Unterstützung durch KI in Anspruch genommen. Der Bug befand sich im Intel-Xe-Grafiktreiber für Battlemage-G21-Karten. Er verursachte, dass GDM, der Display-Manager, sich endlos neu startete. Die Fehlersuche erforderte 24 Debug-Patches und 18 Kernel-Boots. Als Ursache erwies sich eine einzelne Zeile, in der roundup() statt rounddown() hätte stehen sollen. Die KI „hat die Schufterei für Torvalds erledigt": Hinzufügen von Debug-Instrumentierung, Ausführen von Analysen und sogar Schreiben der finalen Commit-Nachricht. Aber es war nicht alles ein leichtes Unterfangen. Die KI sagte Linus immer wieder, dass das Problem „unmöglich und unlösbar" sei. Jedes Mal widersprach Linus und ging weiter. In seinen Worten: „Ich vermute, dass diese Dinge von Menschen trainiert wurden, die vielleicht nicht so stur sind wie ich." Das ist erneut das, was wir immer sagen. KI ist nur ein Werkzeug und sie ist im Wesentlichen nützlich, wenn ein fähiger Mensch den Prozess steuert. Überlassen wir sie ihren eigenen Schlussfolgerungen, würde sie diesen Bug als unkorrigierbar bezeichnen und sich zurückziehen. Aber Linus Torvalds hat Erfahrung. Er konnte verstehen, was die KI richtig oder falsch machte. Der Patch ist nun in Linux 7.3 und wurde in stabile Kern…

RT @Italianclownz: Ich arbeite an einem separaten iu4-Code, der ausschließlich auf ROCmFPX unter Strix Halo funktioniert. Ich werde ihn schrittweise veröffentlichen; er wurde bereits auf RDNA 3.5 getestet. Theoretisch sollte er auf jeder AMD-Hardware funktionieren, die über einen iu4-Pfad verfügt. Dieser Code entstand in Zusammenarbeit zwischen Claude Code (hauptsächlich) und mir. Das Ziel war es sicherzustellen, dass ROCmFPX ebenfalls einen iu4-Pfad nutzen kann, falls dieser auf der AMD-Hardware vorhanden ist. Es handelt sich um experimentellen Code, der langsam unter der MIT-Lizenz zusammengeführt wird. Er sollte direkt innerhalb von ROCmFPX laufen, jedoch gibt es einen Quantisierungspfad, falls benötigt, der als ROCmi4 bezeichnet wird. @ciruai hat ebenfalls einen eigenen Ansatz erstellt, der einen separaten Runner verwendet und zusätzliche Funktionen mit Sidecars bietet, was ich gespannt ausprobieren möchte. Sein Ansatz nutzt ebenfalls einige ROCmFPX-Codebestandteile (auf der Quantisierungsseite). Der iu4-Pfad in ROCmFPX ist jedoch fundamental anders: keine Sidecars, kein separater Runner. Wir befinden uns in den aufregendsten Zeiten der Technologie und KI, da so viele Menschen daran arbeiten, sie für alle besser zu machen. Ich wurde von vielen Menschen motiviert und inspiriert: Tom Turney (Turboquant), PK (Cyber Security), Paris (unterstützt meine Ideen immer), Ciru (Inferenz-Meister), Sandro (Luce Box), Davide (Luce Box), Donato (Genie), Mr R0b0t0 Ahmad, alle ROCmFPX-Mitwirkenden und viele weitere.

Open source parametric tools like FreeCAD break the monopoly of expensive software. Hardware design should not be gated by monthly subscriptions. When the tools are free, anyone can iterate on physical products. This is how we actually democratize manufacturing.

RT @Dan_Jeffries1: Prediction: There's a 65% chance that the strongest model available to you by the end of 2026 will be open source. There's a 75% probability it'll be Chinese model unless Reflection comes out swinging like Tyson or Meta really goes hard into open source again to round out the percentages. Oh don't get me wrong. If it goes like this, closed source American labs will still have better models. You just won't be able to use them. You'll read about them on Lab blogs. Why? Because they scared the government and regular people so much that they can't release them and so those models will be locked behind closed doors. The only wild card here that keeps this prediction from being something like 75% is Elon and Grok and his massive reach and single handed power to raise capital, buy businesses and apparently train amazing models. He alone seems able to buck the trend on data center building and has enough power to say, yeah, I am not submitting to the "voluntary" testing regime. But he is likely to get tangled up in whatever non-voluntary one is coming and be a target for it too. So Elon is our wild card. As usual it seems like the entire American innovation system, from space to data centers to clean electric cars stems from one guy and that's just not a wonderful thing for us. We need a dozen daring doers to ensure the next American century. All this is incredibly bad for American AI. There is no current business model that does not involve selling lots and lots of tokens to 100Ms of businesses. The models are not yet strong enough to own to create a British East India style super…

RT @Itsfoss: Linus Torvalds hat gerade KI eingesetzt, um einen Bug im Linux-Kernel zu beheben. Dies ist ein seltenes Ereignis. Selten, weil Torvalds nicht mehr am Linux-Kernel codet. Er prüft nur noch Code und merged Pull Requests von Contributoren. Daher ist dies ein seltener Anlass in jüngster Zeit, an dem er selbst einen Kernel-Patch erstellt hat. Und diesmal hat er sich von KI assistieren lassen. Der Bug befand sich im Intel-Xe-Grafiktreiber für Battlemage-G21-Karten. Er verursachte, dass GDM, der Display-Manager, sich endlos neu startete. Die Fehlersuche erforderte 24 Debug-Patches und 18 Kernel-Boots. Als Ursache entpuppte sich eine einzelne Zeile, in der roundup() statt rounddown() stehen sollte. Die KI „hat die Schuftarbeit für Torvalds erledigt": Debug-Instrumentierung hinzugefügt, Analysen durchgeführt und sogar die finale Commit-Nachricht verfasst. Doch es war nicht alles ein leichtes Unterfangen. Die KI sagte Linus immer wieder, dass das Problem „unmöglich und unlösbar" sei. Jedes Mal widersprach Linus und ging weiter. In seinen Worten: „Ich vermute, dass diese Dinge von Menschen trainiert wurden, die vielleicht nicht ganz so stur sind wie ich." Das ist genau das, was wir immer sagen. KI ist nur ein Werkzeug und sie ist im Wesentlichen dann nützlich, wenn ein fähiger Mensch den Prozess steuert. Überlässt man ihr ihre eigenen Schlussfolgerungen, würde sie diesen Bug als unkorrigierbar bezeichnen und sich abwenden. Aber Linus Torvalds hat Erfahrung. Er konnte verstehen, was die KI richtig oder falsch machte. Der Patch ist nun in Linux 7.3 und wurde in stabile Kernel-Zweige zur…

GAAS - Git as a Storage

Im sure im not the first consider this approach, but i would like to share a demo for clarity and transparancy. No need to debug, its far from finished and there is much to do.

Im working on a P2P messaging app and generally up until recently i thought in such a system, if a peer is offline, you cant send a message... It wouldnt be "decentralized" if there was some central queue of messages.

It took embarassingly long, but then it hit me... git... just regular git is a decentralized database. Github/Forgejo isnt decentralized, but git can have multiple remotes that can act as redundencies.

In my setup i need the ability for others to be abe to read and only i should be able to write to it. That functionality is out-of-the-box in git.

Git is also pretty standardized so there are many providers if users want to move away from Github.

The storage requirements for my project are fairly small. Typically small text messages. The data itself thats publicly readable would be encrypted (aiming to keep aligned to Kerkhoffs principles).

Code: https://github.com/positive-intentions/git

Demo: https://positive-intentions.github.io/git/demo/gui/git/storage

There is much more to improve and consider there for things like encrypting the data at rest.

I have concerns around if providers like GitHub, Codeberg and Gitlab might see the way my app works as fundamentally violating their terms-of-service. I'll have to consider providing a backend service for this which I've generally tried to avoid.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: This is open source for transparency, testing and demo purposes only. it is still a work in progress and far from finished. You should not use it on any sensitive repositories. There WILL BE breaking changes. Use responsibly.

I like that TuxedoOS has decided to shift towards supporting a community based distro, such as Debian.

So with TuxedoOS migrating to Debian, I wonder if Linux Mint will start to prioritize development of LMDE over standard Ubuntu based LM.

Claude insisted I couldn't optimize libJudy for php-judy 2.6.0. 🤔

By pushing back on its broken profiler math and applying strict research discipline, I uncovered a silent GCC -O3 compiler bug, fixed a circular Zend GC crash, and got 11–32% lookup speedups anyway 🤷‍♂️
