It is one thing to convince your friends to use XMPP, it is another to have them easily be able to sign up their friends too.

https://txw.ca/mod-signup-keyword/

This is a mod for ejabberd which allows in-band registration with a fixed pre-shared key. It replaces the standard mod_register.

So your friends can pass this PSK to their trusted friends, and they can sign up for an account, and pass it to their trusted friends.

An XMPP Client needs to surface a UI element for the PSK to be entered, and returned to the ejabberd server. I’ve tested it with my hobby client, Mach.

Viste le recenti derive sulla privacy sto sempre più prendendo in considerazione di utilizzare un sistema Android libero.
Purtroppo, mi sembra di aver capito, questi sistemi non hanno una grande compatibilità hardware per cui riescono a girare solo su alcuni dispositivi.
Acquistare un FairPhone potrebbe essere una delle soluzioni ma probabilmente non per tutte le tasche.
Avete esperienze in merito?

So now I'm hearing about so-called Open Source projects closing PR contributions from the outside world because it's easier to "generate the code" from within their org just based on people's bug reports or whatever.

**Mask off moment.**

These people never cared about #OpenSource or #LibreSoftware. They just cared about marketing & free labor. Now that they can get "free labor" from slop machines faster, they'll do that.

RT @ihtesham2005: Ein Mann namens Shin hat Palantir kostenlos als Open-Source-Projekt veröffentlicht. Es heißt OpenPlanter. Palantir hilft Regierungen und großen Unternehmen, verstreute Daten über Menschen, Unternehmen, Verträge und Geld zusammenzuführen. OpenPlanter könnte diese gleiche Macht den normalen Menschen zugänglich machen. Man füttert es mit Unternehmensakten, politischen Spenden, Offenlegungen der Lobbyarbeit, Regierungsaufträgen oder anderen öffentlichen Dokumenten. Seine KI-Agenten durchsuchen alles, identifizieren dieselben Personen und Unternehmen über verschiedene Datensätze hinweg und verwandeln die Verbindungen in einen live Wissensgraphen. Man kann auf eine Entität klicken, ihre Beziehungen verfolgen und die ursprünglichen Quellen hinter jedem Fundstück überprüfen. Die Desktop-App funktioniert bereits auf macOS, Windows und Linux. Sie unterstützt OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter und lokale Modelle über Ollama. Aber OpenPlanter ist immer noch ein Projekt in der frühen Phase. Es ist bei Weitem nicht so weit entfernt von den Daten, Ressourcen oder der Reife von Palantir. Dennoch ist die Idee enorm. Mächtige Institutionen haben Jahre damit verbracht, Daten zur Untersuchung der Öffentlichkeit zu nutzen. Jetzt könnte die Öffentlichkeit endlich ein Werkzeug erhalten, um sie zu untersuchen.

Open sourcing the codebase does not make X part of the fediverse. Worth saying plainly.

Fediverse is about the protocol, not the license (obviously). ActivityPub lets my server and yours talk to each other. A public GitHub repo does not, X stays exactly as centralized and walled off as before, just with visible source.

Lie or not, I honestly do not know yet. What I know is a promise is not a mechanism. No timeline, no reproducible build process, no way today to check that the binary in production matches anything published.

For us here, this changes nothing. Still one company, one server, one decision maker.

EU project proposals have become a bureaucratic endurance test.

The application process is painfully long, the evaluations often opaque, and rejection letters can feel almost dismissive. Even when a proposal succeeds, far too much of the budget disappears into compliance, coordination, reporting, controls, and audits.

When roughly 60% of resources go to administration rather than impact, something is fundamentally broken.

Europe cannot afford to turn innovation into paperwork. We need a serious reform of EU funding: simpler applications, transparent evaluations, proportionate controls, and more funding directed to actual delivery.

🤖🚫 Flathub interzice aplicațiile de tip „AI Slop”: O decizie radicală împotriva conținutului de slabă calitate generat automat

Flathub, cel mai mare magazin de aplicații pentru ecosistemul Linux bazat pe pachete Flatpak, a adoptat o politică extrem de dură și inovatoare: interzicerea totală a aplicațiilor catalogate drept „AI Slop” (conținut de calitate slabă generat în masă prin inteligență artificială).

Decizia vine în urma unei explozii de aplicații apărute pe platformă care nu aduc nicio valoare reală utilizatorilor, fiind de fapt simple „ambalaje” wrapper în jurul unor API-uri de generare de text sau imagini, create doar pentru a genera profit din reclame sau donații.

Iată principalele detalii din spatele acestei măsuri și modul în care datele au influențat decizia celor de la Flathub:

🔹 Ce reprezintă fenomenul „AI Slop”?
Termenul de „slop” (lături/resturi de mâncare) a devenit un standard în industrie pentru a descrie avalanșa de conținut web nereglementat, de calitate extrem de slabă, creat artificial. Pe Flathub, acest fenomen s-a tradus prin sute de aplicații copy-paste: de la generatoare banale de rețete sau poezii, până la instrumente care promit să îți rezolve temele sau să îți editeze codul, dar care în realitate livrează rezultate halucinante sau eronate.

🔹 Datele din spate: De ce a intervenit Flathub?
Conform analizelor de date efectuate de administratorii platformei, proliferarea acestor aplicații a început să afecteze grav experiența utilizatorilor (UX):

Zgomot în căutări: Utilizatorii care căutau un editor de text legitim sau un instrument de productivitate erau inundați de zeci de clone „AI-powered” care promiteau marea cu sarea, dar nu funcționau corect.

Riscuri de securitate și amprentă de carbon: Multe dintre aceste aplicații rulau scripturi obscure în fundal pentru a colecta telemetrie sau date de utilizare, irosind totodată resursele de calcul ale serverelor Flathub pentru compilarea și găzduirea unor pachete inutile.

🔹 Noile reguli de moderare: Ce este interzis?
Flathub nu interzice software-ul care folosește inteligența artificială într-un mod legitim și util (cum ar fi un editor foto care are o funcție de eliminare a zgomotului bazată pe rețele neuronale). În schimb, regulamentul blochează:

Aplicațiile a căror funcție unică este de a fi o interfață pentru un LLM (Large Language Model) terț, fără a aduce modificări sau optimizări majore.

Software-ul generat automat de AI și urcat pe magazin fără a trece printr-un proces riguros de QA (Quality Assurance) uman.

Instrumentele care folosesc elemente de branding înșelătoare pentru a mima aplicații oficiale OpenAI, Anthropic sau Google Gemini.

Prin această măsură, Flathub devine unul dintre primele magazine majore de aplicații din lumea open-source care pune piciorul în prag împotriva degradării calității software-ului din cauza hype-ului AI, protejându-și utilizatorii și menținând standardele ridicate cu care comunitatea Linux este obișnuită.

🦁🔒 FreeBSD a atins un reper istoric: Sistemul de bază este acum 100% liber de software licențiat sub GPL

Fundația FreeBSD și comunitatea de dezvoltatori din spatele acestui legendar sistem de operare de tip Unix au anunțat finalizarea unui efort monumental care a durat mai bine de două decenii: sistemul de bază al FreeBSD este acum complet lipsit de software licențiat sub GPL (General Public License).

Această realizare reprezintă o victorie ideologică și juridică majoră pentru proiect, îndeplinind un obiectiv strategic pe termen lung: oferirea unui sistem de operare de înaltă performanță protejat exclusiv de licențe permisive, de tip BSD sau similare.

Iată de ce această schimbare este crucială pentru ecosistemul tech și ce implică ea:

🔹 De ce a vrut FreeBSD să elimine GPL?
Spre deosebire de Linux, care folosește licența GPL (ce obligă companiile să distribuie public modificările aduse codului sursă — conceptul de copyleft), FreeBSD folosește licența BSD. Aceasta este mult mai permisivă, permițând oricui (inclusiv marilor corporații) să preia codul, să îl modifice și să îl integreze în produse comerciale închise, fără obligația de a face publice modificările.

Prezența unor instrumente vechi cu licență GPL în sistemul de bază crea o zonă gri din punct de vedere juridic pentru companii precum Apple (care folosește bucăți din BSD în macOS/iOS), Sony (pentru sistemul de operare al consolelor PlayStation) sau Netflix (pentru infrastructura de streaming).

🔹 Cum s-a realizat această tranziție istorică?
Pentru a curăța complet sistemul de bază de GPL, comunitatea a trebuit să înlocuiască manual sau să rescrie de la zero utilitare fundamentale care făceau parte din ecosistemul GNU:

Înlocuirea compilatorului (GCC -> LLVM/Clang): Pasul cel mai greu a fost eliminarea compilatorului GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). FreeBSD a trecut complet la LLVM/Clang ca mediu de compilare implicit, o tehnologie modernă cu licență permisivă (Apache 2.0 / BSD).

Rescrierea utilitarelor de sistem: Toate instrumentele mici de sistem, bibliotecile (cum ar fi libdialog) și utilitarele de diagnosticare care încă rulau pe versiuni vechi de cod GNU (menținute la versiuni arhaice precum GPLv2 pentru a evita restricțiile stricte din GPLv3) au fost înlocuite cu alternative moderne scrise sub licență BSD sau licențe similare de tip MIT.

🔹 Ce înseamnă asta pentru utilizatori și dezvoltatori?
Pentru utilizatorii obișnuiți: Din punct de vedere al utilizării zilnice, experiența rămâne neschimbată sau chiar îmbunătățită, deoarece noile instrumente sunt mai moderne, mai rapide și adaptate arhitecturilor hardware actuale.

Pentru companii și industrie: Acesta este cel mai mare avantaj. Companiile pot prelua acum imaginea de bază a FreeBSD și o pot modifica pentru routere, servere sau dispozitive hardware proprietare, având garanția juridică absolută că nu încalcă nicio clauză de tip copyleft.

Programele GPL pot fi instalate în continuare: Este important de menționat că această eliminare este valabilă doar pentru sistemul de bază (base system). Utilizatorii pot instala în continuare fără probleme orice aplicație licențiată GPL (cum ar fi GCC, Bash sau utilitare GNU) prin intermediul sistemului de pachete (pkg) sau al colecției de porturi (ports).

Prin acest pas, FreeBSD își consolidează identitatea unică în lumea open-source, oferind o alternativă pur permisivă și ultra-stabilă la ecosistemul Linux.

🎨🐧 KDE Plasma 6.8 a fost lansat: Adaugă umbre pe server (server-side shadows) pentru aplicațiile fără decorațiuni

Ecosistemul KDE Plasma continuă să își rafineze experiența vizuală și consistența sub protocolul Wayland. În noua versiune majoră KDE Plasma 6.8, dezvoltatorii au implementat o funcționalitate extrem de solicitată de către designeri și utilizatori deopotrivă: suportul pentru umbre generate pe server (server-side shadows) pentru aplicațiile fără decorațiuni de fereastră (undecorated apps).

Această actualizare rezolvă o problemă vizuală istorică legată de consistența interfețelor grafice moderne pe Linux.

Iată detaliile acestei noutăți și celelalte îmbunătățiri majore:

🔹 Umbre perfecte pentru aplicațiile fără margini
Multe aplicații moderne (cum ar fi unele jocuri, playere video în mod minimalist, terminale personalizate sau aplicații electron care folosesc ferestre personalizate) aleg să își ascundă decorațiunile standard ale ferestrei (bara de titlu, butoanele de închidere/minimizare).

Problema din trecut: Sub Wayland, când o aplicație dezactiva decorațiunile managerului de ferestre KWin, aceasta își pierdea adesea și umbra fină de fundal, lăsând marginile ferestrei să se confunde direct cu tapetul sau cu alte aplicații din spate.

Soluția din Plasma 6.8: Managerul de ferestre KWin este acum capabil să aplice umbre elegante direct de pe server (server-side rendering) chiar și peste aceste ferestre fără decorațiuni. Rezultatul este o interfață mult mai curată, cu un efect de profunzime tridimensională aplicat uniform pe întregul desktop.

🔹 Consistență vizuală îmbunătățită
Prin această mișcare, Plasma elimină discrepanțele vizuale dintre aplicațiile native Qt (care folosesc decorațiunile KWin) și aplicațiile GTK sau Electron care își gestionează singure marginile (client-side decorations). Acum, indiferent de toolkit-ul în care este scrisă o aplicație, comportamentul umbrelor pe ecran rămâne complet unitar.

🔹 Optimizări pentru performanța KWin
Deși adăugarea de efecte vizuale poate ridica semne de întrebare privind resursele, implementarea din Plasma 6.8 este extrem de bine optimizată:

Randarea umbrelor se face nativ prin GPU utilizând compozitorul Wayland, asigurând un consum neglijabil de energie și menținând fluiditatea animațiilor la rate de reîmprospătare ridicate (120Hz, 144Hz+).

KDE Plasma 6.8 demonstrează încă o dată atenția obsesivă a comunității pentru detalii, transformând desktop-ul Linux într-un mediu nu doar extrem de puternic și personalizabil, ci și incredibil de finisat din punct de vedere estetic.

🤖💻 Frame: Un nou server grafic X11 pentru Linux scris în întregime în Assembly

Într-o epocă în care industria Linux migrează masiv către Wayland și dezvoltă software complex în limbaje moderne, un proiect incredibil vine să zguduie status quo-ul prin tehnica pură: Frame. Acesta este un server grafic compatibil X11, scris de la zero în întregime în Assembly (ASM).

Proiectul reprezintă un tur de forță ingineresc, demonstrând ce se poate obține atunci când elimini complet straturile intermediare de cod, compilatoarele greoaie și dependințele masive, vorbind direct pe limba procesorului.

Iată caracteristicile uluitoare ale acestui proiect minimalist:

🔹 Performanță brută și latență zero
Deoarece codul este scris direct în Assembly, Frame ocolește toate optimizările (sau limitările) pe care un compilator de C sau C++ le-ar impune.

Latență minimă: Timpul de răspuns între input-ul utilizatorului (mouse/tastatură) și randarea pe ecran este redus la minimul absolut permis de hardware.

Fără supraîncărcare (Zero Overhead): Serverul nu încarcă biblioteci externe gigantice, scăzând drastic numărul de instrucțiuni executate de procesor pentru fiecare cadru (frame) randat.

🔹 Dimensiune microscopică a binarului
Spre deosebire de serverul clasic Xorg, care are nevoie de zeci sau sute de megabiți de biblioteci și dependențe pentru a funcționa, binarul executabil al Frame ocupă doar câțiva kilobiți. Întregul server grafic poate fi stocat pe o veche dischetă, fiind probabil cel mai mic server de afișare funcțional creat vreodată pentru Linux.

🔹 Compatibilitate cu protocolul X11
În ciuda naturii sale experimentale și a limbajului de nivel jos în care este scris, Frame implementează elementele de bază ale protocolului X11. Acest lucru înseamnă că poate, teoretic, să comunice cu clienți X standard, permițând rularea aplicațiilor grafice de bază din ecosistemul Linux direct pe această fundație ultra-ușoară.

🔹 Eficiență extremă a resurselor
Consumul de memorie RAM al serverului se măsoară în câțiva megabiți (sau chiar mai puțin în modul idle), făcându-l o opțiune fascinantă pentru:

Sisteme integrate (Embedded): Dispozitive cu resurse hardware extrem de limitate, unde fiecare octet de RAM contează.

Sisteme de restaurare și recuperare: Medii de boot minimale care au nevoie de o interfață grafică rapidă, fără a încărca RAM-disk-ul.

Frame este un proiect manifest dedicat programării retro-futuriste, o dovadă vie că optimizarea extremă nu a murit și că bătrânul protocol X11 poate fi reinventat în cel mai pur mod cu putință.

🎮🐧 DXVK 3.0.2 a fost lansat: Aduce optimizări majore și corecții dedicate pentru jocuri de top

Pasionații de gaming pe Linux prin intermediul Wine sau Proton au motive de bucurie. DXVK, stratul de translatare bazat sursă deschisă care convertește apelurile grafice DirectX 9, 10 și 11 în instrucțiuni Vulkan, a primit o nouă actualizare de mentenanță: versiunea DXVK 3.0.2.

Această lansare se concentrează pe rezolvarea unor probleme specifice de randare, eliminarea artefactelor vizuale și îmbunătățirea stabilității într-o serie de titluri populare.

Iată principalele corecții și optimizări introduse în DXVK 3.0.2:

🔹 Corecții dedicate pentru jocuri (Game-Specific Fixes)
Dezvoltatorii au lucrat la remedierea unor bug-uri specifice care afectau experiența de joc în titluri cunoscute:

Jocuri afectate de probleme de memorie sau randare: S-au rezolvat diverse prăbușiri (crashes) și probleme legate de alocarea defectuoasă a memoriei video în titlurile care folosesc intens DirectX 11.

Remedieri pentru randarea umbrelor și texturilor: Anumite jocuri care prezentau artefacte vizuale, pâlpâieli ale texturilor sau umbre randate incorect sub Vulkan rulează acum impecabil.

🔹 Îmbunătățiri ale performanței și gestionării resurselor
Optimizări pentru memoria cache a shaderelor: DXVK 3.0.2 îmbunătățește modul în care shaderul compilează în fundal, reducând apariția micro-întreruperilor (stuttering) în timpul primelor minute de joc.

Gestionare mai eficientă a resurselor Vulkan: Stratul de translatare comunică acum mai curat cu driverele grafice moderne (Mesa/RADV pentru AMD și driverele proprietare NVIDIA), oferind un consum ușor redus de resurse de procesare în scenariile de stres hardware.

🔹 Corecții generale pentru DirectX 9 și 11
Au fost remediate câteva probleme de regresie introduse în versiunile anterioare din seria 3.0, îmbunătățind compatibilitatea cu jocurile mai vechi bazate pe DX9.

S-a optimizat comportamentul în modul ecran complet (fullscreen) și la comutarea rapidă a ferestrelor (Alt+Tab), prevenind blocarea jocurilor în modurile de afișare hibride.

Această actualizare consolidează DXVK ca fiind pilonul central al gaming-ului pe Linux, asigurându-se că titlurile din colecțiile de pe Steam sau GOG rulează la un nivel de performanță și stabilitate extrem de apropiat (sau uneori chiar superior) celui de pe Windows.
