With #SVG and the tabbed user interface active, #libreOffice looks (at least) as pretty as #microsoft #office and probably runs a lot more stably (as has been my general experience; there is never any problem with #Linux, and it's always #windows that requires attention).

Since it's also free and does not "phone home", I'd recommend everyone to switch. #software #opensource #foss

One thing that influenced my decision to use the iPhone with the Apple Watch as my main device instead of the Pixel with GrapheneOS for health reasons is this: I feel absolutely, ABSOLUTELY bad about it!

On the one hand, of course, because of the data protection issue, but since Trump, I also have the problem that most Europeans have: that you are becoming dependent on a big tech company from the US. A country that is clearly drifting toward fascism, where fundamental rights are being undermined by a mentally ill president with the cognitive development of a toddler, where freedom, an independent judiciary, and democracy are being thrown out the window to give free rein to his hubris.

The example of Microsoft and the chief prosecutor in The Hague showed how quickly one can be cut off from US digital services at the snap of the fascist dictator's fingers. Not to mention that these criminals then have access to all of our data as Europeans. Is that worth the accurate recording of my health data for my doctors and therapy? Because if I have this data, then so do the criminals in the US administration.

What's the point of using open source and free software on all your devices if you betray all that on the most personal device there is, the one you carry with you around the clock—your smartphone?

All of this has been keeping me awake at night for days, and I think I'm going to switch back to GrapheneOS. But I had to try it anyway, otherwise I couldn't make an objective decision.

btw: I liked the USA and Americans – but what Trump and MAGA have done to this wonderful country, to the great people there (but also to the rest of the world and former friends and allies) is a crime. Hate, incitement, persecution, megalomania, and lies. And no resistance to the tyrant anywhere. I can't understand it, no decent European understands it... Americans, take a leaf out of the brave Romanians' book in 1989!

Der erste Schritt: Kalter Entzug 🚫

Jahrelang war ich im Microsoft-Käfig (Win11, Office365 Familienabo). Bequem, aber fremdbestimmt. Mein Ziel: Echte digitale Souveränität. Also: Kündigung. Alles. Sofort. ✂️

Mein erster Reflex war Ubuntu. Lief gut, fühlte sich "frei" an. Doch die Ernüchterung folgte schnell: Hinter Canonical stecken zu starke US-Einflüsse. Ich wollte keine andere Abhängigkeit, sondern Unabhängigkeit. 🇺🇸❌

Nach tieferer Recherche fiel die Wahl auf openSUSE Tumbleweed. 🦎 Rolling Release, transparent, community-getrieben. Keine US-Cloud-Agenda im Nacken.

Es war ein steiniger Weg, aber ich sage euch: Ich gehe nicht zurück. Die frische Luft schmeckt zu gut.

Fortsetzung folgt...

Teil 4: Mobile Unabhängigkeit 📱🔓
​​Nachdem der Desktop befreit war, ging es an das schwierigste Thema, das Smartphone mit Google Android 🚫
​Die Hardware-Wahl überrascht viele: Ein Google Pixel 8 Pro.
Warum? Weil es (paradoxerweise) die einzige Hardware ist, die uns erlaubt, den Hersteller komplett auszusperren.
​Das Zauberwort heißt GrapheneOS. 🛡️
​Die Installation: Web-Installer, USB-Kabel, 10 Minuten Angstschweiß, fertig. Kein Hexenwerk.
​Der Alltag: Kein Google-Konto Zwang. Kein Tracking im Hintergrund. Keine Spyware funkt.
​Die Apps: F-Droid für FOSS, Aurora Store für den Rest. Und wenn eine App zickt (Banking), läuft sie in einer Sandbox ohne Rechte.
​Es ist mein Gerät. Meine Daten. Mein Pixel gehört endlich mir.

So... in the end, I switched to the iPhone as my primary device after already having to use it as a secondary device alongside my Pixel 9 with GrapheneOS.

Before you stone me, let me say first and foremost that I love GrapheneOS and its almost perfect privacy features! But certain circumstances made a switch more or less necessary.

On the one hand, I don't want to constantly carry around two smartphones – especially when I don't want to lug around an extra backpack, wallet, and/or other bags, but just my keys and phone. Then there's the issue of two phone numbers.

On the other hand, I use “ID Austria,” Austria's digital government service (they can only dream of such technical achievements in Germany, muahaha!), and like my banking, it doesn't work, or only works poorly, without Play Services installed. The same goes for digital tickets for public transportation.

And finally, there's the logging of my health data with Apple Watch, as I have a heart condition, among other things, and Apple Health records all these values very well and perfectly prepares and presents all the relevant data for my doctors. In the end, my health is a little more important to me than data protection. At least I can convince myself that Apple is a little better and more trustworthy here than the data octopus Google.

And: the symbiosis between Linux and Apple now works very well. The iCloud calendar can be easily integrated into GNOME or KDE calendars, and that's what my entire daily organization revolves around. That was the most important point for me. And with Localsend, I have a perfect Airdrop alternative for data exchange, and Nextcloud also works smoothly on both platforms. So, apart from my health, I'm currently more than satisfied with how things are going!

Have you ever wanted to have Theo de Raadt give you his fortune in your GNU Emacs session? I made a package some time ago which serves exactly this purpose. You can find the package, as well as it's history on Codeberg with the following link. It is currently my only Emacs package, but I plan to make more when it becomes useful to.

https://codeberg.org/amadaluzia/theo.el

Appending to the history after the package was published onto Codeberg, I ended up in a call where me and @izder456 were talking about theo.el. I believe in that call, it was also reposted in the OpenBSD room on Matrix. I also remember being suggested to put it on MELPA, so that is exactly what I did.

After creating the pull request and fixing all of the issues that stopped it from being pushed into MELPA, it couldn't make it on as it was a pretty repetitive package, and there were about 5 other `fortune`-esque packages with much more customisability. However, I now have a better package because of MELPA's guidelines, and I believe that I can still give attention to the package, even if not through MELPA.

That's why I wanted to talk about it here, because maybe you are interested in having a fortune package for your GNU Emacs. If so, and assuming you have straight.el, you can simply copy the following snippet into your init.el. After that, you should have it installed.

https://gist.github.com/amadaluzia/be96e325326a9d66619543af410e4bf4

Let me know how the package goes for you. I would love to improve the GNU Emacs ecosystem further, as a GNU Emacs user.

The Art of Pivoting - Techniques for Intelligence Analysts to Discover New Relationships in a Complex World

This open source book explores how intelligence and cyber-security analysts can uncover hidden links between threat actor infrastructure and ongoing investigations by pivoting on both classic and unconventional indicators — many of which are often overlooked. The material is grounded in empirical, field-tested strategies used in cyber-security, digital forensics, cyber threat intelligence, and intelligence analysis more broadly.

I released the first version of this book following the @firstdotorg CTI Conference 2025 in Berlin, where the initial idea for the project emerged.

Fabienne Verdier (born 1962) is a French painter who works in France after years of studies in China. She was the first non-Chinese woman to be awarded a post-graduate diploma in fine arts by the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in Chongqing, China. The photography was taken by Alexandre Dulaunoy at Poétique de la ligne, exposition de Fabienne Verdier au Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire, 2025. I chose an image from Fabienne Verdier’s Poétique de la ligne because it visually echoes the essence of pivoting. Her work is not about representing objects, but about tracing lines that connect forces, movements, and spaces that would otherwise remain separate. A single line can bridge different scales, different energies, and different worlds. This is precisely what pivoting aims to do in intelligence analysis: to trace meaningful lines between data points that appear unrelated at first glance, and to move across technical, human, and contextual domains. Just as Verdier’s line is both deliberate and exploratory, pivoting is an act of disciplined intuition—following a connection far enough to see whether it reveals structure, meaning, or truth. The image serves as a reminder that analysis is not only about accumulation, but about connection: the art of drawing lines where others see fragments.

133 Mio $ an Mitgliedsbeiträgen und Spenden sind wirklich viel.

Besonders wenn die kleinen Familienunternehmen wie

- Meta
- Google
- Microsoft
- IBM
- AWS

und viele andere sich das vom Munde abgespart haben.

Wohltätigkeit, denn dieses Linux-Ding nutzt denen ja direkt nichts.

Ist ja nicht so, dass deren Clouds und Produkte vollgestopft mit Opensource-Code sind.

Da kann man schon "großzügig" sein.

Immerhin gibt die LF 180 Mio $ für "Project Support" aus.

Was immer das heißt.

Die direkte Bezahlung wie bei Torvalds und Kroah-Hartman ist es sehr selten.

Emotionaler Support?

An den Ausgaben kann ich höchstens 16 Mio $ für Events kritisieren.

Für mich sind die Einnahmen das große Problem.

grep is a very important command. grep is considered complex by many for no well funded reason.

Why this bold statement?

There are not only man pages available, for all POSIX Operating Systems, but also very good tutorials, even in de Linux documentation project.

Don't think that you'll be able to learn high level grepping in just two, to five minutes. grep is a tool great at doing one thing in a great manner, pure Unix wise.

However

ls -R ~/your_dir | grep string

is already a simple level of grep usage

"Politics" isn't only about institutions. It's about organizing large numbers of people to do something they wouldn't otherwise do. Corporations organize large numbers of people to do things they probably wouldn't do if they weren't paid and/or didn't need the money to live. 10,000 people wouldn't spontaneously get together and spend the best hours of their days for months building a commercial jet airliner if there weren't corporate structures in place and a society that keeps them close enough to deprivation that they will do this in exchange for money.

Wir rennen sehenden Auges in ein massives Abhängigkeitsproblem.
Behörden erzwingen faktisch Microsoft-Software – Windows, Office, proprietäre Formate.

Jetzt kommt die nächste Eskalationsstufe: Secure Boot, TPM, Pluton, „Secured-Core PCs“.
Verkauft als Sicherheit – real bedeutet es Kontrolle über die Boot- und Vertrauenskette.

Wenn es nach Microsoft geht, läuft auf deiner eigenen Hardware künftig nur noch Software,
die Microsoft signiert und erlaubt.
Schlüssel können geändert oder revoked werden – auch nachträglich.

#Vendor-Lock-in auf Hardware-Ebene.

Echte Sicherheit gibt es nur mit:
offenen Standards, offenen Dateiformaten, Open Source
und Kontrolle über die eigenen Master Keys.

Deutschland war mal bekannt für kluge Köpfe.
Technisch gibt es sie noch – politisch sieht man die Abhängigkeit nicht,
weil das Brett vor dem Kopf „Windows“ heißt.

ITT: Thoughts, re Mozilla.

First, and most obviously, time for me to get off Firefox. Time to find out where everyone is going.

This coincides with another wave of reordering my digital life, to get off of YouTube, off the streaming model, and further eliminate ads from my daily life.

Sadly, it seems the time has come for Mozilla to die. I don't know much about this CEO, but it seems he fundamentally does not understand the domain he's in.

Why it matters to create and maintain open-source infrastructure for security monitoring including collection of forums and malicious communication channels.

This is a strong example (Google dark web report is discontinued) of the risks of relying solely on commercial vendors. If a capability does not align with their business interests or generate sufficient revenue, it can be discontinued at any time. Open-source infrastructure helps ensure continuity, transparency, and long-term access to critical monitoring capabilities that are essential for the security community.

If you want to run your own "darkweb" monitoring, we develop open source tooling supporting such monitoring

Something that’s been bothering me for years in the security world: why do researchers demand bug bounties for vulnerabilities in open source projects, when the very contributors maintaining and fixing those issues get nothing, just goodwill?

It feels deeply unfair. The burden falls on unpaid maintainers, yet bounty hunters get rewarded. If you want a paid bounty, maybe help fund the people who actually fix the mess too.
