🐧🤝🐐 Cyber 0k3! – Zwei Welten, eine Haltung.

Tux und GNU – mehr als Maskottchen: Freunde einer digitalen Kultur, die Freiheit nicht nur verspricht, sondern praktisch lebt.

Amiga-Nostalgie, Unix-Philosophie, BSD-Tradition und GNU/Linux treffen auf Hacker-Nerd-Kultur. Unterschiedliche Wurzeln, gemeinsame Werte: offene Standards, geteilter Wissensschatz, Gemeinschaft und Selbstbestimmung.

Free Software ist eine Frage der Freiheit. Copyleft macht diese Freiheit dauerhaft teilbar. Nicht das Copyright abschaffen, sondern seine Möglichkeiten umdrehen: Wissen darf genutzt, verändert und weitergegeben werden – und muss unter den entsprechenden Bedingungen frei bleiben.

Gegen digitale Abhängigkeit. Für neugierige Köpfe, solidarische Netze und eine Kultur des Miteinanders.

Cyber 0k3! Nicht nur Technik. Eine Haltung. 💚

🛠️ Tool
===================

Codync is a free, open-source client under Apache 2.0 that turns locally installed coding agents into persistent bots you can delegate to from a phone, desktop, or terminal. The README positions it as "the open-source Grok Bot alternative", using a bring-your-own-agent-and-subscription model with no paid tier. Everything below comes from the project README; I haven't tested the tool.

Key features:
• Agent coverage: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Pi, OpenCode, Grok Build, Gemini, Copilot, Hermes Agent, and roughly 40 more, each exposed as a messageable, persistent bot.
• Access surfaces: iPhone (iOS 18+, native App Store build), macOS 14+ (Apple Silicon and Intel DMG), Windows x64 installer, Linux AppImages for x86_64 and ARM64, plus any terminal.
• Distribution also available via Homebrew. The project ships a website, full docs, a comparison page and a Discord.

Technical implementation:
• The desktop host is written in Rust with an Electron front end.
• The iOS companion is built in SwiftUI.
• Agents keep running on your own machine, and model costs stay on your existing subscriptions; the app adds a chat-style remote layer on top.
• The README does not spell out how the phone-to-desktop channel authenticates or transports traffic.

Use cases:
• Dispatching a coding task to a specific agent while away from the workstation.
• Running several agents side by side from one interface instead of juggling terminal windows.
• Sending short follow-ups into an agent's existing session from a phone.

Installation, per the README: DMG for macOS (Apple Silicon plus Intel), x64 installer for Windows, AppImages for both Linux architectures, a Homebrew formula, and an App Store listing for iOS 18+.

Limitations:
• This is README-derived only; treat capability claims as unverified until tested.
• Bots inherit the local code-execution rights of the underlying agent, and the remote-channel security question above matters a lot on a dev machine. Review the architecture before pointing it at anything holding real credentials.
• Minimum OS requirements (iOS 18+, macOS 14+) exclude older devices.
• Per-agent behavior parity needs the project's comparison page, not the README.

One detail worth noting: the maintainers warn that @trycodync on X is their only official account, citing impersonators and scams around the project.

🛠️ Tool
===================

oh-my-hermes (OMH) is an open-source operating layer for Hermes Agent, the agent framework from NousResearch. It does not patch or replace Hermes. It takes over task routing: picking a skill and a model for each lane, running the work in parallel, and keeping every memory change on an explicit, written record. One install, then a single /dag-ulw command handles goal decomposition and execution.

Model routing by work category

Each lane is tagged with a work category: ultrabrain, deep, visual-engineering, quick, and others. The category determines that lane's model chain and reasoning effort, and every chain is editable. The useful part is failure handling: when a provider rejects a model, the chain moves to the next entry instead of silently downgrading. omh model opens a picker where category, head model, and effort are changed with arrow keys and -/+ adjustments.

/dag-ulw graph runs

A goal becomes a graph of small nodes. Ready nodes run in parallel, and nodes running at the same time never share a write scope. A separate node checks the goal, and failed nodes are repaired before the final report. That is the core scheduling claim of the project: parallelism with write isolation, plus an explicit verification step instead of a self-reported done.

Skills and LSP

The skill router ships more than a hundred omh-* specialists covering frontend, backend, Rust, security review, and verification gates. The user never calls them directly; the router loads the right ones into the run as tool calls. LSP integration is opt-in through the lsp_tools setting: definitions, references, and renames come from the language server rather than text search, so aliases, re-exports, and shadowed names are renamed by meaning. It ships off by default, which reads as a sensible choice until the feature matures.

Memory

Nothing is remembered silently. Each memory candidate is kept, refused, or deferred with a written reason. The next session gets a recall pack ranked for its task and cut to a token budget. OMH never reads or patches Hermes' own memory.

Native TUI

Bare omh opens OMH's own TUI on the Hermes gateway. /theme changes the launch look, and /dag-ulw prints the box graph plus a live lane tree showing each lane's model, effort, and token usage. Agents can be steered or interrupted from the agent list, and ! shell lines are supported.

Setup

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rlaope/oh-my-hermes/main/install.sh | sh
omh setup

Windows and other install paths are covered in the project documentation.

Use cases
• Multi-step coding work where subtasks deserve different models and reasoning efforts
• Refactors in codebases where text-search renames break on aliases or shadowed names
• Sessions where silent memory writes are a deal-breaker

Limitations

Everything above comes from the project README and docs. Scheduling behavior, write-scope isolation, and the repair flow are not verified in this writeup; the documentation at omher.app is the better reference. OMH targets Hermes Agent specifically, so it is not general agent middleware.

The people who bitch about big tech sponsoring #opensource, are not the people who are donating to fix the problem that literally nobody is donating besides big tech.

And nobody seems to point out this controversy, even though we would likely do huge damage to the thriving opensource ecosystem we have today if big tech stops donating- which, they would love nothing more than doing

They used to say "talk is cheap, send patches"; I just wish people would consider the bigger picture a little more

Für OpenCloud gibt es keinen offiziellen Linux-Client für ARM64.

Skandal?

Nein. Überhaupt nicht. Vernünftig.

Der Markt ist klein, Ressourcen sind endlich, und kein Unternehmen sollte einen Build-Zweig dauerhaft pflegen müssen, nur weil irgendwo ein einzelner Irrer mit einem Snapdragon-ThinkPad sitzt und ihn gern hätte.

Dummerweise war ich genau dieser Irre. 😉

Also habe ich mir den ARM64-Client selbst gebaut.

Und genau da wird aus einer technischen Randnotiz plötzlich eine ziemlich politische Geschichte.

Bei proprietärer Software heißt ein „Nein“ des Herstellers meistens:

Nein. Punkt.

Geht nicht.
Machen wir nicht.
Rechnet sich nicht.
Vielleicht irgendwann.
Aber eher nie.

Du darfst warten, bitten oder die Plattform wechseln.

Bei Open Source heißt dasselbe Nein:

„Heute nicht wir. Aber du darfst.“

Das ist für mich gelebte digitale Souveränität.

Nicht irgendein Strategiepapier.
Nicht „europäische Cloud“ auf einer PowerPoint-Folie.
Nicht ein neues Logo auf alter Abhängigkeit.

Sondern die ganz banale Fähigkeit, eine Lücke selbst zu schließen, wenn der Hersteller sie aus guten Gründen offenlässt.

Mein Lenovo ThinkPad T14s mit Snapdragon X Elite war eigentlich schon abgeschrieben.

USB-C-Display? Tot.
Firmware? Launisch.
Kernel-Updates? Überraschungsei.
HDMI? Je nach Kernel zwischen „läuft“ und „bitte nicht anfassen“.
Suspend? Gerne, wenn man morgens keinen Akku mehr braucht.

Als Linux-Arbeitsgerät bleibt die Kiste für mich 2026 eine Red Flag.

Und weil ich offenbar lernresistent bin, habe ich anschließend auch noch Ubuntu 26.10 „Stonking Stingray“ installiert – direkt an der Front.

Prompt war Bluetooth weg.

Natürlich.

Der vorherige Kernel bootete weiter, Bluetooth war wieder da, und ich konnte über meine eigene Hybris lachen.

Die Hardware bleibt eine Warnung.

Aber ausgerechnet dieses Warn-Gerät ist jetzt mein ARM-Build-Host für OpenCloud. WIe schön das doch ist.

Er heißt Ariel.

Und Ariel bleibt.

📢 **IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: System Requirements for Fedora 45 (Project "Red Hat Synergy")**

The Fedora Project, in collaboration with IBM, is proud to present the roadmap for **Fedora 45**. As part of our ongoing effort to harmonize enterprise ecosystems and implement strict corporate security standards, we are transitioning away from "legacy open-source chaos" in favor of a predictable, unified infrastructure.

Starting with Fedora 45, minimum hardware requirements for the Desktop Workstation edition will be officially elevated. These measures ensure maximum synergy with Red Hat cloud services and prevent the execution of Fedora on non-certified hardware.

---

### 🛠 **New System Requirements for Fedora 45:**

* **Processor:** 64-bit CPU (minimum 2.5 GHz, at least 4 cores).
* *Note:* Supported CPU models are now strictly whitelisted within the kernel. Intel CPUs older than 8th Gen (Coffee Lake) and AMD CPUs older than Ryzen 2000 are officially designated as legacy hardware. Booting Fedora 45 on unsupported CPUs will be blocked at the bootloader level with a `systemd-bsod` screen.
* **Security Module (TPM):** Hardware **TPM 2.0** with support for IBM Secure Enclave is mandatory. Without an active TPM 2.0, `initramfs` will halt immediately.
* **Secure Boot:** **Secure Boot** must be permanently enabled in the UEFI settings. Booting with custom/user keys or with Secure Boot disabled will force the system into a permanent Emergency Mode loop.
* **Memory (RAM):** Minimum **16 GB** (128 GB recommended). Due to deep GNOME Shell integration with IBM Watson AI engines and background telemetry daemons, 8 GB is no longer supported.
* **Storage:** High-speed NVMe SSD (with NVMe-oF support) with at least 512 GB of free space. Mechanical Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) are fully deprecated as their spindle speeds do not align with modern desktop performance expectations.
* **User Account:** An active **Red Hat Unified ID (RHSID)** corporate account with an attached telemetry subscription. Creating local-only offline accounts without telemetry reporting is no longer available in the installer.
* **Network Connectivity:** A continuous, high-speed Internet connection is required. Offline installations have been completely removed from the Anaconda installer — RPM packages are now fetched on-the-fly from enterprise edge repos, and local mirrors are flagged as untrusted.

---

### 💳 **New Licensing & Subscription Tiers:**

* **Freemium Journaling Limitations:** Access to system logs via `journalctl` is now restricted under the free tier. Free users can only view the last **20 log lines** per boot. Reading beyond 20 lines or retrieving logs older than 24 hours requires an active **Red Hat LogPass Subscription** ($4.99/mo).
* **System Updates Tier:** System updates, including critical security patches, zero-day kernel fixes, and DNF updates, are exclusively locked behind the paid tier. Unsubscribed installations will receive updates on a delayed "LTS Community Cycle" (6–12 months after release).
* **Fedora Total Support Tier ($199.99 / seat):** For the exact official retail price of a **Windows 11 Pro** license ($199.99), users can unlock the **Fedora Pro Complete tier**. This includes 24/7 OS stability guarantees, unlimited `journalctl` access, automated system recovery via cloud snapshots, and remote desktop troubleshooting by IBM technical support agents.

### 🔒 **Security Policy Enforcement:**

* **SELinux** is permanently locked to `Enforcing-Absolute`. Executing any binary not digitally signed by Red Hat will be flagged as an unauthorized security breach with real-time reports sent to compliance monitoring.
* **DNF5** has been replaced by *Red Hat Cloud Sync*, which automatically detects unapproved third-party software and replaces it with flatpak containers from the official curated registry.

You have to understand that discovering that #Linux and every bit of critical #opensource software (#Firefox, #libreoffice) have been slopped is like after finally ditching cars for public transport you discover that it’s been bought out by by a combination of private equity, EA, Nēstle, Monsanto, CocaCola, _and_ Lockheed Martin, whereupon they fired every qualified driver and replaced them with an Uber-like gig economy where your train driver today is Gareth who once played some weird Japanese train game on a PS2 emulator one time but has an “Outstanding” 97.6% rating.

I just wanted to get somewhere and get stuff done. This isn’t my fight, this isn’t my day job. I already did my part by ditching Windows and now you want me to sort out your problem you so utterly failed to prevent when you breathlessly announced the partnership as “Strengthening the Community”.

Fuck you and the rent economy you rode in on, I’m not your goddamned saviour and I certainly don’t contribute to fashtech, which you now are.

@penguinrebellion Signal is not good.

They seem to absolutely love/adore Google, Apple, and Amazon. So much that they even hide the APK page on their website and only promote Google Play Store or App Store. Try find it on their website without using a search engine. Spoiler: you will fail.

And when you finally find the download APK page, Signal states it is "safer and easier" to get Signal on Google Play Store or the App Store. Easier? Yes. But safer? Only in your dreams.

They love/adore Google and Apple so much that creating an account without a phone number requires you to give your full legal name, home address, phone number, and credit card information to either Google or Apple (depending on what device you use).

And Signal love privacy and values yours, too. Oh, the irony.

So no, I would not recommend Signal other than Signal Protocol. Good news: OMEMO (the encryption method in XMPP) uses Signal Protocol. So with that said, I recommend XMPP instead of the Big Tech loving Signal.

Four researchers built a tool to test the citations in a large number of scholarly articles. In this study, they used it to show how many fabricated citations they found in a random sample of 500,000 peer-reviewed articles.
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2623869123

I'm interested in the frequency of fake citations. But right now I'm more interested in the fact that the tool is not #OpenSource. One good reason is that it depends in part on #Claude. But the authors did not share their Claude prompts or any of the non-Claude code they wrote to supplement Claude.

They do make three gestures toward openness here though. (1) They wrote analysis code to help crunch their data, and they're willing to share that analysis code on request. (2) They offer to share the tool code with reviewers and editors on request, presumably to aid in the peer-review of their article. But they don't make the same offer to researchers who want to test the tool or use it for new studies. (3) In Appendix 01 they give pseudocode for the citation-testing tool, but not the actual code.

Motivated researchers could use the pseudocode to create their own tool. But it would likely differ in details from the tool used here, blocking attempts at precise replication.

More important, the lack of open code for testing citations prevents the critique and improvement of that code, and slows the evolution of standardized methods for testing citations.

Do really all those who generate security reports really expect the recipients to really read that wall of text they ship? Text they most likely didn't even care to read themselves?

What kind of stupidity are we racing towards? It's just so tempting to just flat-out reject LLM generated wall-of-text-reports these days.

Below is some really*valuable inforrmation* received in one such report ...

This report didn't kill just a kitten. It killed a village of kittens.

Security reports these days is a farse and pure tragedy. It just drains the last pieces of energy to care about processing security reports.

This wont work well for @fdroidorg, as it requires App Archiving support which #FDroid doesn't have. Additionally it would require newer target SDK versions, which is Google's way of locking people with older #Android out of newer apps. Additonally, it lets Google arbitrarily charge fees.

- : Say hello to BashBBS! : -

Is this just stupid? I've made a really small BBS using just Bash and whatever a bare-bones Debian install provides. Running on a rpi zero w (not 2 🤣 )

If you want to try it out, here is a form to fill out 😆 ☕ (I will approve requests as fast as I can.)

It's in early beta, but I would love it if someone wants to try it out!

Was going to try Organic Maps from Fdroid to see if I like them...but they have an Agents.md that is the bad kind, one with documentation for agents instead of a kindly fuck off (or telling the agent to act like a cat woman or man).

Will be bombing that thing off of my phone ASAP. At first, I was loving the interface, but they are down with the sloppiness and that is a shame. Glad that I didn't donate to the project, otherwise I would've lived with that regret for a while.

You know what would be a super awesome and useful thing to do with the AI that’s great at finding holes but sucks at fixing them?

What if instead of scanning code for vulnerabilities, we used #ai to scan for misuse of open source code and forced companies to pull products, release them for free, or got #eff or similar group to sue companies and use the proceeds to fund open source developers?

Even With All That Mess

Bologna, 2003. A messy room, a graduation approaching, a FreeBSD Handbook gone missing. Twenty-three years later, I look back.
