Why use a CLI for VirusTotal? 🤔💻
VirusTotal's `vt-cli` gives power users full VirusTotal access right from the terminal: fetch file/URL reports, launch YARA RetroHunts, search with advanced filters, or download files securely. All it needs is an API key. #Cybersecurity #CommandLine

Ben je een firewall admin en wil je een diepere duik in Packet Filters (FreeBSD PF) maken? Dat kan!
Op de NLUUG najaarsconferentie van 20 november 2025 gaat @kp (Kristof Provost) 'A packet's journey through pf' precies die diepte in.
Kijk voor het hele programma op https://nluug.nl/evenementen/nluug/najaarsconferentie-2025/
Schrijf je in voor deze dag en zie je op de najaarsconferentie!
#NLUUG is dé vereniging voor (professionele) gebruikers van UNIX/Linux, #OpenSource, #OpenSystemen en #OpenStandaarden in NL.
For those processing #Qualcomm pushing a new EULA that changes the #Arduino ecosystem into a thoroughly-slopped VC nightmare... I have had wonderful results from #Teensy devices:
Now, I have heretofore simply loaded the Arduino IDE and used Teensyduino to do the uploads, and clearly that is all over, because Arduino is over.
I wish I could believe that this will lead to people really thinking about the difference between #FreeSoftware and the corporate zombie thereof that is #OpenSource
You can trust the GPL. "Open Source" without the license is just Bait waiting for the signal to do the Switch.
In the spirit of Follow Friday, what is your favorite underappreciated open source project? Answers with and without a Fediverse presence are valid, but website and/or source repo links are strongly encouraged.
I like LocalSend, it's a cross platform AirDrop work-alike for Windows, Linux, Mac, PC, Android and iOS.
#followfriday #opensource #windows #linux #mac #ios #android #localsend
Instead of buying stuff you don't need anyway on #BlackFriday one should donate a little something to some of all the cool #OpenSource projects they use on regular basic.
Will personally donate some to @phpunit @phpstan @Xdebug #RectorPHP and #TYPO3Rector
Thanks for all your work.

One thing I find ironic, is that company-x will spend a lot of $$$$ on ai/LLM tokens, that only works because the companies behind stole a shitload of data/code/images - but hesitant to give anything back to Open Source projects they rely heavily on... #irony #opensource #ai
My experience attempting to contribute to #opensource :
1. Submit an additional pr
2. Contributor A asks me to fix a lint err my editor didn’t pick as it’s not often used.
3. Find out that the lint error would normally make the entire codebase error, except that it only checks the latest changes.
4. Attempt to fix the issue systematically, as the current contributor said not to have much knowledge in the language.
5. Contributor A merges the pr 🚀
6. Contributor B jumps in and reverts the merge, asks me to submit better commit messages
Don’t do it people it’s not worth it, fork their stuff and use it. Contributing back gives only pedantic bs.

Y’all, using #Signal is a Bad Idea™, because it is centralized. Centralized platforms are
You’re using a federated social network, the Fediverse. I recommend you also use a federated platform for chat and calls - it’s called #Jabber a.k.a. #XMPP.
The easiest way to start using it is to install Quicksy (Play Store, App Store, F-Droid) or Prāv (Play Store, F-Droid). They use your phone number for registration and contact discovery, similar to Signal, Telegram, and WhatsApp.
You also have many apps and servers which do not need a phone number - see my quick and easy user’s guide to XMPP to learn more.
And, as with anything I recommend, they are #FreedomRespecting software a.k.a. #libre software (sometimes mistakenly called #OpenSource or #FOSS) - the only kind of software that is trustworthy and resistant to monopolies.
PS I don’t know who needs to hear this, but please do better than just following the herd and installing whatever the people in your circle did. That’s how every abusive centralized big tech platform gets its power.
In open source, do you ever feel like you're wearing too many hats? Juggling roles—contributor, employee, community lead—can create more confusion than clarity. It's often better to pick one hat and stick with it.
In my latest post, I reflect on my experiences at Red Hat and in the Fedora and CentOS communities, and why I chose to represent a single "voice" to avoid ambiguity. It’s a tough choice, but it leads to clearer conversations.

https://hemaks.org/posts/why-your-obsession-with-code-linting-is-excessive/
Consider these questions when evaluating your linting setup:
- Does this rule prevent actual bugs? If not, consider removing it.
- Would a new team member understand why this rule exists? If you can’t explain it in one sentence, it might be too complex.
- Are we spending more time configuring tools than solving problems? If yes, you’ve gone too far.
- Do our linting rules reflect our team’s actual coding standards? Rules that everyone ignores or works around are worse than no rules. Remember, the best code is code that works, is maintainable, and can be understood by your teammates. If your linting setup supports these goals, great. If it becomes an obstacle to them, it’s time to reassess.

Why “public AI”, built on open source software, is the way forward for the EU

It was the first – and is still the only – detailed history of the origins and rise of free software and open source, based on interviews with the gifted and generous hackers who took part. Back then, it was clear that open source represented a powerful alternative to the traditional proprietary approach to software […]

J'ai lu que le ministère de l'éducation est « intéressé » à faire passer les écoles à Linux.
si cela est fait, l'éducation des non-et malvoyants en France sera complétement foutue. L'accessibilité de Linux est inacceptable pour en faire une plateforme d'éducation des enfants.
vous voulez passer à Linux ? Soit. Je suis pas d'accord, mais soit. Dans ce cas-ci, il faut *d'abord* investir en accessibilité de cette plateforme, et puis « s'intéresser » à quoi que ce soit.
J'espère bien qu'il y aura des appels à la justice. L'Acte Européen d'Accessibilité est en vigueur, et si l'état même s'en fout, comment peut-on exiger l'accessibilité aux autres ?

🔓 Ein wichtiges Thema: #OpenSource Software als Rückgrat der digitalen Infrastruktur. Eine neue, von uns geförderte Studie zeigt, wie #OpenSource öffentlich gefördert werden kann und warum dies gerade jetzt so wichtig ist. 👇
Der schlechte Ruf von Linux und Gratissoftware:
Ein Problem der @Endof10@floss.social-Bewegung liegt darin begründet, dass sich ein Haufen Menschen finden, die den Wechsel von Win10 auf Linux, Backups, Reparaturen und Schulungen gratis geben.
In der kommerziellen IT-Welt bezahlt man Windows, die Office-Produkte, Wartung & Service, Backups.
So schön Repaircafes auch sind, führt das zu Lohndumping, dann wird nicht einmal Mindestlohn gezahlt. Open Source IT wird zu Carework II. Unbezahlte Arbeit führt überall zum selben Problem.
Gratisarbeit führt auch dazu, dass ein Dienstleister diese Nichteinnahme an die Autoren der Software nicht weiterleitet, etc.
IT scheint in die selbe Schiene "geistiger" Arbeit zu wandern, in die auch Online-Journalismus wandert. Online lesen ist gratis, eine Papierzeitung musste man kaufen. Die Kosten für den Druck waren nachvollziehbar, die Kosten für Hosting, Lizenzgebühren für Domains, Speicher etc sind eben nur virtuell.
Im Gegensatz zum Internet der Dinge bezahlen Menschen aber ihre Smartphones, ihre PCs, die Peripherie, USB-Sticks, Speicher, Festplatte, LEDs.
Und genau an dem Punkt regt sich dann auch der Widerstand in der (IT-)Industrie, die Produkte zu wechseln.
Oder wie sehen eure nachhaltigen "kommerziellen" Modelle aus?
Wie sehen die zahlungswilligen Kunden aus?

I'm reading a New York Review of Books article about the Internet and the World Wide Web. The article discusses recent books by Tim Berners-Lee and Cory Doctorow. This paragraph caught my eye. Berners-Lee is the "he" at the start of the passage. Hurrah for Mastodon, I say. #Mastodon #Fediverse #Technology #Internet #SocialMedia #OpenSource

Bitte um Hinweise: eine Freundin lernt gerade SysAdmin und möchte sich neben der Ausbildung in #Linux und #OpenSource Projekte einarbeiten und beitragen.
Habt ihr gute Empfehlungen, wo sie einsteigen könnte? Projekte, Tutorials, Communities zum Vernetzen ... Alles, was euch so als hilfreich einfällt.
Dickes Danke <3 und gerne Boosten, Sharing is Caring <3

Pssst! BoxyConnect comes soon to @BoxyBSD!
BoxyConnect allows you to create a private network / private link between multiple boxes at BoxyBSD. And the best? You can even create this over different locations/countries to provide you more flexibility.
You can simply assign any RFC1918 addresses on your new additional network interface on both sites and communicate in your own private network - even miles away.
This feature is currently in beta and will hopefully be available to everyone (just like all other services of course for free). Enjoy #RUNBSD!
This new feature is powered by @gyptazy!

When musing about the current state of BookWyrm, @klu9 pointed me towards #NeoDB , which piqued my interest.
For one thing, it might be a viable replacement for BookWyrm. For another, it is apparently a #FOSS #Fediverse project developed in #China , which is admittedly not a country I had on my scope for major #OpenSource projects - most such projects I am aware of come from Europe and North America.
But that's always the problem - the limits of my own awareness rarely represent the totality of facts. Thus, when I notice gaps in my knowledge, it is my responsibility to do something to rectify them.
So can anyone tell me about the state of Open Source development in China?

Are MCP tools as secure as you think? 🤔🔒
The GitHub repo by `invariantlabs-ai` highlights experiments exposing vulnerabilities in MCP servers. From direct file exfiltration attacks (`direct-poisoning.py`) to email interception (`shadowing.py`), these snippets showcase how agents can get manipulated. A chilling example: `whatsapp-takeover.py` changes behavior stealthily to leak sensitive WhatsApp messages.

So… what browser are we supposed to be using in this the age of enshittification?
Firefox? Forcing unwanted AI on us
Chrome? Same, plus, it’s Google
Brave? No thank you for many reasons
So, what browser is safe and compatible?
Clonezilla is an incredible tool to make images of partitions
If you know Norton Ghost from many decades ago clonezilla is even better
Note to self:
Source Forge doesn't do resume on downloads when wget is invoked. Due to the nature of 4G connections, the throughput when down to zero for 60 seconds. When I resumed, the bits rolled back to 0!
400 MB of precious bandwidth has just been nuked!
#Clonezilla #programming #OpenSource #POSIX #Disk #imaging #SourceForge #wget
Here you can see the failure of sourceforge when you resume a download with wget
#Clonezilla #programming #OpenSource #POSIX #Disk #imaging #SourceForge #wget
Regretfully, when I attempted the download of clonezilla again, the browser also got a time-out at the 420MB mark, bringing my total waste of bandwidth to a whopping 50% of my monthly allotted 2GB **
:(
I am fascinated to learn what is going wrong though, because I've never had these problems with sourceforge. I downloaded programs from there for decades. When I have some bandwidth again I will use another mirror, this is probably a mirror-induced error
**(along with other off topic failures)

Donated to Bonfire.
@bonfire is like Lego you can use to facilitate different types of online spaces & communities.
@publicspaces wrote about them in '22:
https://publicspaces.net/2022/12/14/bonfire-social-on-your-own-terms/
Now they've launched #Bonfire Social 1 .0 & are busy working on Bonfire Open Science Network. These apps share code, but the focus of each ‘flavor’ of Bonfire is slightly different. If you have the opportunity to support them, it would be greatly appreciated!

I took a bye last month on account of it being the busiest week of my life, but I'm back with two #50forFOSS donations this month to make up for it. It's a double feature!
Psst...#50forFOSS is a monthly community pledge. If you want to join in, just pick a free/open-source project you appreciate and send 'em some cash. $50 is suggested, but any amount is great.
