@vermaden has hit the nail on its head, when he talks in this article about a simple, yet extremely efficient protocol, to distribute software and data

I'm not going to spoil which protocol it is even though you can see it in the link
What I will ask you is read, not just with an open mind, but read what Vermaden has written _between_ the lines

There are many things you can learn from him

Bcachefs file system apparently remains stagnant in Linux

Bcachefs will probably remain in the kernel after the spat, but will not be developed further – This enables trouble-free updates as long as users do not cheat.

Sometimes technology changes slowly, almost without notice. One small change here, one new requirement there... and suddenly you realize something important is gone. That something meant to be free and open starts looking like something completely different.

Google announced that every app - even those outside the Play Store - will have to be signed by a verified developer. Officially, it's about security 🛡️ Malware, phishing, scams - all real threats. And yet, something about this decision doesn't sit right with me

Because if every app must be linked to a verified identity, submitted to and approved by , then this is no longer a neutral environment. It's a centralized control structure, leaving no room for anonymity, independence, or alternative ways to develop software ⛓️

This isn't about users - they just want things to work ⚙️ It's developers who face the problem. Even if they don't want to give their data to a corporation, they'll be forced to. Formally, this change affects only certified devices, but in practice - no one is going to build apps just for custom ROMs. This is a system-wide shift. A forced one ⚠️

And it's just one sign of a bigger issue.

For months, hasn't published the Android 16 drivers for Pixel devices - something that used to be standard. No official reason. No communication. Just closed doors 🚪 This is a clear limitation of access and a lack of transparency for users and developers alike. Actions like this damage the trust that used to be the foundation

@grapheneos - a project built around 🔐 privacy, 🛡️ security, and 🌐 independence - has relied on Pixels as the base hardware for years. But today, they say it clearly: we don't want to be completely dependent on one company. That's why they've started working with another manufacturer, so they can support new devices in the future. Pixels will still be supported, but the future doesn't look as certain as it once did.

On top of that, Android's development process has already changed. The source code now lands in AOSP only after the official release - and not as a full repo with commits, but as a snapshot 📸 This practically eliminates the ability to track changes in real time or take part in the process.

And what about AOSP itself - what's left of open Android? I tested it myself, installing an unofficial build on a Raspberry Pi. It works surprisingly well, but it's instantly clear how many components have been stripped out. So many features, services, and systems could be open - but simply doesn't include them. AOSP is now just a base - and without more, you can't build a real alternative.

So what's next? Is it time for Linux Mobile?

I don't think so - not yet. Android - despite being more and more centralized - still offers a level of 🛡️ security that Linux in its basic form can't match. But if this trend continues, if control keeps growing at the cost of openness, we'll have to seriously consider that path sooner or later.

For those interested - I'm including a few screenshots at the end from my AOSP install on It's not a fully functional environment, but it definitely gives you something to think about

Open Austin: Reimagining Civic Engagement and Digital Equity in Texas

#OpenSource

Het enige verzoek dat er aan het bestuur gedaan wordt is om een werkgroep in te stellen die een advies gaat geven aan het bestuur op welke manieren de partij en fracties gebruik kunnen gaan maken van social media die los staat van big-tech en hierin mee te nemen hoe het beste gebruik gemaakt kan worden van initiatieven zoals Mastodon, Pixelfed en PeerTube.

Volledig in lijn met wat er letterlijk in het verkiezingsprogramma staat, namelijk meer inzetten op open source, minder afhankelijk worden van BigTech en zolang BigTech zich niet gedraagt (lees manipuleert, censureert en surveilleert) ontmoedigen we het gebruik ervan en wijzen op privacy vriendelijke alternatieven.
Helaas. Het bestuur wil, op aangeven van de social media strategen van de partij, nu nog geen werkgroep instellen, want dat schept verwachtingen die ze nu nog niet kunnen waarmaken vanwege een beperkte beschikbaarheid aan geld en mensen om nieuwe dingen te implementeren en de inspanning wordt nu liever gestoken in onze standpunten uitdragen op platformen waar het bereik het grootst is.

De motie 👉 https://schrijfselsvansjaan.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/motie-de-digitale-toekomst-is-van-ons.pdf
2/x

#PvdD #PvdDCongres #DigitaleToekomst #eXitX #BigTech #OpenSource

Dat is natuurlijk een non argument. De werkgroep is juist bedoeld om het bestuur werk uit handen te nemen als zij kennelijk te druk zijn om over een breder social media palet na te denken. De aanbevelingen zullen echt niet alleen over de Fediverse gaan. En nergens staat dat we direct met een eigen Mastodon server moeten komen. Verder is het bestuur van mening dat er dan ook een social media strateeg van de partij (lees de Tweedekamer fractie) in die werkgroep moet zitten. En die hebben geen tijd, en zien ook de meerwaarde van de Fediverse nog niet, dus daarom kan de werkgroep ook niet. Ten eerste is het helemaal niet noodzakelijk dat die social media strateeg in de werkgroep zit, zonder die deelname kunnen er ook prima aanbevelingen geschreven worden. En ten tweede kun je je afvragen, maar dat is mijn persoonlijke mening, wat de meerwaarde van zo’n ‘strateeg’ is als die zich met oogkleppen op blind staart op het gegeneerde bereik, aantal volgers en interactie op Facebook, Instagram en X en niet het vermogen heeft om zich met een meer helikopterview ook te verdiepen in de meerwaarde van de Fediverse.
3/x

#PvdD #PvdDCongres #DigitaleToekomst #eXitX #BigTech #OpenSource

In het huidige ‘gangbare’ social media systeem is relatief weinig kennis van de Fediverse. Juist daarom is zo'n werkgroep zo belangrijk. Een werkgroep die advies geeft op dit gebied is juist zeer waardevol voor de Partij voor de Dieren en de social media strategen.
Door die eenzijdige focus op de Big Tech platformen, en dat staat ook bij de constateringen, geef je leden en andere geïnteresseerden in de partij geen keuze maar dwing je ze haast om deze platformen te gebruiken. Zonder account begin je op Instagram helemaal niets. En zelfs met account kom je niet uit de voeten met alleen een browser. Wil je alle functionaliteit kunnen benutten, dan moet je de app installeren. En ook daar vindt de partij iets van in het verkiezingsprogramma 😉
4/x

#PvdD #PvdDCongres #DigitaleToekomst #eXitX #BigTech #OpenSource

Dan de motie eXit X

Hierin wordt gevraagd dat het congres zich uitspreekt dat een aanwezigheid op X niet langer past bij de idealen waar de Partij voor de Dieren voor staat en dat ze hierbij de partij en de fracties waar dit nog voor van toepassing is oproepen om hun accounts op X op te heffen of op zijn minst te bevriezen en er geen nieuwe content meer te plaatsen.

Het bestuur ontraadt deze motie met het argument dat het bereik en de interactie op X (63.000 volgers) nu nog dusdanig groot is in vergelijking met BlueSky (7500 volgers) en Mastodon (3000 volgers) dat we er niet weg kunnen. Alle journalisten zitten daar nog, dus wij kunnen ook niet weg. (En ondertussen denken de journalisten, alle politici zitten daar nog, dus wij kunnen ook niet weg.)
Gaat de kwantiteit van de interactie boven de kwaliteit? Is haatzaaierij een interactie die je wilt?

Er zijn heel wat constateringen en overwegingen te maken. Die kun je allemaal teruglezen in de motie 👉https://schrijfselsvansjaan.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/motie-exit-x.pdf

Maar de bottomline is, ook nog even voor de mensen achterin:

Met je aanwezigheid op X verleen je legitimiteit aan een nazi-kanaal. Punt.

You're on the right track. But there's a huge capability gap here. Lumo and Leo work fine for basic chat, but they're nowhere near frontier models for complex tasks like coding or analysis. You end up trading a lot of functionality for privacy promises.

The opportunity is open source models you can verify and run yourself. Same privacy benefits, but you control the entire stack. Companies are already hosting these models where you can see the actual training data and model weights.

Regulation won't fix surveillance capitalism. It typically helps incumbents who can afford compliance costs while crushing smaller alternatives.

The solution is supporting companies building transparent, verifiable AI infrastructure. Not perfect privacy promises.

#OpenSource #Privacy #Verification

The good thing about open source is that there's an endless amount of stuff to try, explore, and study. It's wonderful.

The bad thing about open source is that as soon as you stop trying, exploring, or studying something, another thing will come along right away. And another. And another...
And not always in a series.

The choice isn't "use AI or stop AI." It's "let surveillance capitalists control AI or build privacy-respecting alternatives."

Open source models run locally without data harvesting. That's the pushback that matters. Building better tools, not refusing all tools.

Your scientific applications point shows why blanket rejection fails. AI helps decode proteins and predict climate patterns. Abandoning that hands everything to Big Tech.

I loved this post I came across today on HN: "Open Source is one person" Yes, it opened my eyes a little wider to the risk, but mostly made me want to find and support these maintainers and get them whatever they need. We better hope they're mentoring others too.

@loop0 This is a *good* question.

Timeshift is for backing up your installation, which is very useful, but I haven't found something that hassle-free backs up my personal files. I have honestly just be manually drag-and-dropping them ALL every few weeks. Not a good system.

I would dearly love something like Time Machine for Linux.

Anybody else got any tips?

@david_chisnall @aparrish great post. I agree. The Unix philosophy (which is to make small, modular CLI tools that you can pipe into each other) holds back such a comprehensive vision from appearing: a complete RAD GUI IDE - the sort that only a fairly large budget and team, headed by a benevolent dictator, not a committee - could create (like Delphi).

The Unix philosophy falls on its face when it's time to create an OpenSource Delphi *that everyone would want to use, and gains traction*, a sizeable and formidable undertaking (not to mention any credible threat to Active Directory). This failing does not go unpunished: along comes Microsoft with their Visual Studio Code, filling the gap, and leading impressionable, naive #OpenSource newcomers astray to #Microsoft technologies like Azure, C#, etc.

The EU needs a corporate “open source contribution tax” to fund open source maintainers

Open source, the thing that drives the world, the thing Harvard says has an economic value of 8.8 trillion dollars (also a big number). Most of it is one person. And I can promise you not one of those single person projects have the proper amount of resource

Instead of only selecting a set of pre-defined BSD based images, you'll soon also be able to create your install simply from scratch with full remote access to your box. This lets you perform custom installations of #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #MidnightBSD but also of some other niche systems like #illumos

Unfortunately, this might still take some time and fully relies on the spare time of @gyptazy.

@aparrish let the record state that it's 2025 and there's no official Delphi-like #OpenSource RAD IDE for, say, #python. (Python's official GUI toolkit is laughably TCL/Tk). Not even $5 million can be scrounged for funding this, by, say, the #Linux Foundation, which is a sum of money which is next to nothing for them.

Dieser Kommentar auf @golem von Tim Elsner - "Hingewurschtelt in Germany" - trifft viele Nägel auf den Kopf: https://www.golem.de/news/ki-aus-deutschland-hingewurschtelt-in-germany-2508-198985.html

Auch wenn ich nicht an jeder einzelnen Stelle zustimme, finde ich die Analyse der Lage richtig. Zum Beispiel: Das #Teuken #LLM ist zwar #opensource und teuer gewesen, aber unbrauchbar (im Unterschied zu #olmo2 und vielleicht bald dem #swissai Modell der ETH).

Innovative Forschung ist schon allein aufgrund des lästigen Förderwesens der Wissenschaft in Deutschland mit seinen langen Schleifen im Bereich #KI nicht zu erwarten und Projekte, die Mittel erhalten, scheinen sich auf Prüfsiegel und Vermarktung zu konzentrieren, die man auch sehr viel günstiger hätte haben können.

Natürlich wird viel zu selten nach einem Endprodukt gefragt, das einen innovativen Mehrwert liefert. Auch die Gutachter:innen lesen Abschlussberichte mit einem Übermaß an Wohlwollen, oder

#KI #Schule #Bildung #LernenmitKI

Alt...

Ein solches Projekt alleine, ohne Partner in der Wirtschaft, zu stemmen, ist für eine deutsche Universität nicht nur preislich schwierig, sondern allein durch Bürokratie oft einfach unmöglich: Bis ein genau spezifizierter Projektantrag mit entsprechenden Geldern bewilligt wird, ist er oftmals entweder inhaltlich veraltet oder ursprünglich beantragte Hardware nicht mehr der Gipfel der Leistungsfähigkeit

Alt...

Überspitzt gesagt hat das Projekt Millionen Euro allein an Rechenpower verbrannt, ohne ein Produkt zu liefern, das innovativ oder kompetitiv irgendeinen Vorteil bietet. Im Gegensatz zur Konkurrenz ist die Kontextlänge dabei sogar auf nur etwa 4.000 Tokens beschränkt, also kein Vergleich etwa zu der Llama-Familie, die teilweise Millionen von Tokens verarbeiten kann. Komplexere Dokumente lassen sich also zum Beispiel nicht mit Teuken zusammenfassen.

Alt...

Dabei scheint besonders beim BildungsLLM viel Augenmerk auf das nicht-technische Marketing gelegt worden zu sein: Die Sicherheitsfeatures werden ebenso beworben wie die tieferen Erklärungen und das achtsame Verhalten der KI und ihre Kenntnisse der deutschen Sprache. Alles zweifelsohne wichtig für den Umgang mit Schülerinnen, aber auch alles bereits zumindest initial Bestandteil von Llama 3.3. Zumindest für einige Beispiele, die DeutschlandGPT selbst liefert, schneidet die ursprüngliche Version von Llama 3.3 ziemlich ähnlich ab.

Alt...

Böswillig könnte man also vermuten: Vielleicht wurde hier einfach nur ein neues Etikett draufgeklebt, damit man sich an das Budget von Schulen und andere Bildungsträger besser dranhängen kann, statt diesen einfach das frei zugängliche Modell von Meta mit ähnlichen Qualitäten zu empfehlen. Schüler bekommen so auch noch den Eindruck, dass hier echte Didaktik statt zweifelhafter KI-Logik hinter Aussagen steckt, weil ein TÜV-Logo daraufklebt und eine gezielte Entwicklung mit Extratraining für Schulen dahintersteckt - egal, ob das am Ende zweckdienlich ist. Ich kann mich natürlich auch irren und werde das hier gegebenenfalls richtigstellen, wenn die versprochenen Benchmarks in der angekündigten Veröffentlichung mich eines Besseren belehren.

Is that not easily determined by sending a

httping

to the server, before that sending a httping to the nearest router, and then setting a httping to the Gateway behind it. Before that running

ip -c a
ip r 

to see the route?

Then run

httping -Kv {server IP/name} 

Amaze yourself with the output.

If your server is approached from a wireless device run

sudo horst

and analyze the WiFi network surrounding your server. Maybe that Ubiquiti device on the ceiling finally started to act up and just kicked the bucket

Even with the Ribbon UI, LibreOffice's interface still feels a bit behind the times, more like something from 2007.
I think a complete UI redesign is needed to make it truly modern, fresh, and welcoming to new users.

LibreOffice's Ribbon UI

I truly appreciate the power and functionality of LibreOffice, but I feel the UI could use a major refresh.
It's starting to look a bit dated, and a more modern, intuitive design would make it even more user-friendly for everyone.
Just some constructive feedback!

What do you think guys ?

What makes AWS STS OIDC Driver stand out? 🤔🔐

AWS STS OIDC Driver is a tool that enables Kubernetes workloads to authenticate with AWS services directly using OpenID Connect (OIDC). It eliminates the need for long-term IAM credentials by leveraging temporary AWS Security Token Service (STS) tokens tied to your OIDC identity.

Open source providers: BSI sows uncertainty in politics and business

How realistic is digital sovereignty in Germany? Claudia Plattner and her critics want it – and contradict each other on key points.

Can you explain to a non-coder (like, is it even possible) why it's apparently difficult in Linux to create programs so that they take on the design/format of the DE they're in?

This may be a *stupid* question, but I'm curious, so if you feel like waxing poetic, I'd be grateful.

@hazelnot uhmmm... I'm going to say, how does that square with #EU #DataSovereignty, now that the #US has made clear that the US government can demand **any** data held on **any** US company's servers, no matter where those servers may physically be?

It seems to me that a fully EU — or genuinely #OpenSource #NonProprietory phone operating system — is now inevitable.

Kommentar: Microsofts DocumentDB sucht Schutz bei der Linux Foundation

Die Linux Foundation nimmt DocumentDB unter ihre Fittiche. Das sichert der NoSQL-Datenbank die Offenheit, schützt sie aber auch vor rechtlicher Verfolgung.

🚨 SurrealDB is sacrificing data durability to make benchmarks look better

｢ TL;DR: If you are a SurrealDB user running any SurrealDB instance backed by the RocksDB or SurrealKV storage backends you MUST EXPLICITLY set SURREAL_SYNC_DATA=true in your environment variables otherwise your instance is NOT crash safe and can very easily corrupt ｣
