Mais qu'est ce qu'est ce qu'un #Génocide ? 🤔

Un génocide est l'extermination physique, intentionnelle et systématique, totale ou partielle, d'un groupe humain en raison de ses origines nationales, ethniques, raciales ou religieuses.

Tel que defini dans la Convention pour la prévention et la répression du crime de génocide (adoptée par l'ONU en 1948). Plus de 150 pays ont ratifié cette convention au fil du temps pour s'engager à PUNIR et PREVENIR ce crime. La #France l'a ratifiée en octobre 1950.

Announcement: #Voxelibre multiplayer casual game today (Sat) for 4 hours in the late afternoon to evening (North America). That's in about 5 hours from now.

Creating minecart tracks (and of course minecart rides) will be a focus today, better linking up developed regions of the map.

Voxelibre is a free and #OpenSource crafting and mining voxel game, available in the #luanti game engine.

Damage has been turned off. People with #Autism, #ADHD or #AuDHD are invited. We also have a #Deltachat group for game-related discussion. More details here: https://
docs.autis.toque.im/

i make software specifically to help people move away from fascist and big tech organizations, and provide resiliency to small software projects trying to exist in an increasingly hostile digital landscape

i make these tools, provided for free, as a public service. but i'm not able to dedicate as much time to them as i would like, because i'm struggling to make ends meet financially. any tips, donations, or sponsorships will go directly towards helping me exist and continue to contribute software for fighting back against corporate and fascist capture of the digital commons :)

@jockr There are 2 public Canadian Deltachat servers that can be signed up to, here and now. One is https://toque.im, the other is https://chtml.ca.

Once one is signed up for (creating a new account doesn't require your email, phone number, name, nothing like that), the second can be added as a backup "relay" server, and it'll automatically fail over, *should the first server ever go down*.

It's free, there are no ads, and encryption is automatic and mandatory. For #dataSovereignty, it's a great start. #Canada #ElbowsUp

From what I glean, Dystopia is the most stable app, but I worry the developer is no longer active to continue developing the app.
The community in R/dystopia is very active, and recently, I brought up a suggestion to encourage the dev to open source the app.
I feel like making the app open source would allow for the community to take over the development and continue the life of the app, allowing Blind people continued stable access to reddit on iOS.

A backup is only useful if you can restore from it. For important files, keep at least three copies, use two types of storage, and keep one copy somewhere separate from your main device. Test the backup by restoring a few files occasionally.

What if your browser could run an LLM locally without sending the data to a server?

That’s exactly what Ben Houston explores with Three-LLM, a WebGPU-based inference engine built on top of Three.js.

The project demonstrates how Three.js can go far beyond 3D rendering by using its WebGPU capabilities to execute LLM inference directly on the user’s GPU. It supports models including GPT-2, SmolLM2, Phi, Qwen, and Llama-style architectures, loading standard Hugging Face checkpoints directly in the browser.

What makes this particularly interesting from an engineering perspective is the optimization work. By reducing GPU command submissions, avoiding unnecessary prompt logits, reusing prompt prefixes, and moving sampling operations onto the GPU, the project achieves significant performance improvements.

For example, one optimization increased TinyStories decode performance from roughly 120 to 566 tokens/sec, a 4.7x improvement.

The bigger takeaway: WebGPU is increasingly turning the browser into a viable compute platform for AI inference.

Running smaller models locally could have major implications for privacy, latency, offline applications, and AI-powered experiences that don’t require a traditional backend inference service.

And this is just the beginning. FP16, quantization, better prefill performance, and kernel fusion could push browser-based inference considerably further.

A fascinating look at where WebGPU, JavaScript, and local AI are heading.

The article specifically reports the 4.7× TinyStories improvement and explains how Three-LLM executes inference through Three.js TSL compute shaders and WebGPU.

Edited: I shouldn't be posting at 4:14 AM my time, finding typos after the fully send. I will probably be fixing those, so sorry for the edited alerts.

So, after looking at KeePassXC's Github and making note of their openness to LLM contributions and their own usage for small features (every addiction starts with just a little sniff or a few uses). The Copilot Commits were enough to put me off of KeePassXC. They haven't fully lost themselves to slop yet, but the "tool" is designed to instill dependence and deskill it's user.

I decided to install KeePass and it was dogwater, the quality difference was so unbalanced. It hurt my eyes, that motivates me to get better at coding and learn the specific language they use to make KeePass on Linux better. As damn, that was a poor showing. Some prompt buttons didn't even have text on them.

But then I found OneKeePass. No LLM Commits, people that are active and engaged with the project they are working on. OneKeePass has a quality UI, comes in AppImage form in addition to .deb, .rpm as well. Offline, the browser plug-in is in alpha, so I won't use it for the time being.

They are using a language that I am absolutely unfamiliar with. I am learning Python right now, C is on the back burner until I get more confident with Python. So, I'd not be able to contribute, but I could at least make use of it.

There's a lot of folks complaining (rightfully) about the money being thrown toward Omarchy while other FOSS projects are struggling for funds.

I'm not a tech billionaire or millionaire (thousandaire, maybe?) but all this reminds me I could do better at donating to things I use myself. So I'm going to throw some money at two projects I use, and try to remember to keep doing that more regularly. I humbly suggest other folks do the same. It'd be great to see a few FOSS projects report a big bump in donations as a protest against DHH.

A lot is being said about DHH's politics and the silliness of throwing money at what amounts to a pile of configuration scripts -- but there's something else at play here: it is an us-against-them play by a minority of wealthy folks who like keeping other people divided.

FOSS isn't about that: open source became mighty because of its community. If we lose that, we lose everything. A handful of people with too much money have managed to funnel something like $13 million into Omarchy for the next few years. What can millions of people do? Let's see.

Sharkey is generally no longer actively maintained. Much like IceShrimp, which shifted its focus from IceShrimp-js to IceShrimp.net, Sharkey is effectively in "maintenance mode only." This means it still receives critical security updates and required patches, but it generally no longer tracks upstream Misskey development.

Sharkey's latest release: 2025.4.7

Misskey's latest release: 2026.9.0

I had to laugh when, back on January 13, 2026, they titled a release "2025.4.5 — We'll catch up, we promise." The release right before that had been 6 months earlier. In all the time since, they've only pushed out 2 security updates. They are now well over a year behind Misskey's development.

If anyone has the time and skills, I hope someone builds a script to migrate Sharkey sites back to Misskey. Since Sharkey is a fork of Misskey (as was FireFish), it should be possible and is a smart precaution.

After working for years with Google Slides, opening LibreOffice just to see this... feels like returning back to the 1990's.

Let's **puke** all existing #UI elements at user and let them figure it out.

This is the app built for times long gone.

I support open source and Libre Office, but it absolutely needs gigantic overhaul and modernizing of the UI. Using it, compared to simpler online tools, sucks.

Follow-up on the honeytoken project: I tried to add Azure support to get feature parity with the AWS module — basically the same idea, just App Registration + Service Principal instead of IAM, and Event Grid instead of EventBridge.
The infrastructure part works fine. The detection part doesn’t. Azure Activity Log only records events that a resource provider actually processed, and RBAC rejects zero-permission identities before they ever reach one. I tested three real AuthorizationFailed calls just to be sure — none of them showed up in Activity Log.
The “real” fix would be Entra Sign-in Logs, which do capture failed auth attempts regardless of RBAC. But those require a P1 license, and every free path to them is currently closed. So the Azure module is marked experimental in the README instead of pretending it’s finished.

We had difficulties automatically classifying chats, messaging channels, and forums. So we tested several open-weight large language models for our use case. The benchmark is published below, along with a tool supporting the classification process.

This helps us avoid manually classifying channels collected from dark-web forums and social networks, while reliably identifying which channels can be discarded and which deserve further analysis.

Are there general purpose programming IDEs other than VS Code that don't absolutely suck?

PyCharm is okay but kinda bothers me (also I don't like needing to install multiple IDEs for different languages), and it won't use my terminal environment properly for some reason.

A lot of the other IDEs are actually just fancy text editors without language features.

I really am worried about the direction VS Code is headed with like all the AI features and other enshittification. I don't want to wake up one day and see they've ruined something else too. Any recommendations?

This stable release contains several months worth of patches, bug fixes, security updates, and more from new and longtime contributors.

Special thanks to Bruno Lopes, who has taken charge of backporting fixes from our development branch to the 3.2 stable branch.

Many bug fixes and improvements - see the announcement page!

I (@grimmy) am going to state this as clearly as possible here in the hopes it'll propagate quickly.

#Pidgin, and the other projects we maintain alongside it, have never and will never knowingly accept AI-assisted anything.

We proudly respect all licenses, #OpenSource and proprietary, and will not taint our license with whatever you think AI-generated code is licensed under.

A more formal document is now in the works in the hopes that our precious volunteer time will be spared.

I spent two days stress testing the engine and the API interface with Dex & Dalvik.

Even though there are already specialized tools out there for Android reversing, these two guys have some unique properties compared to the canonical architectures.

Dalvik is a bytecode based VM and it's designed to run Dex files.

Testing them exposed limitations in REDasm's API design where "Processor" and "Loader" plugins are isolated and cannot share data directly (there are ways to notify data though, eg. interrupts in x86).

The Dex loader is now expressive enough to map symbols, names, functions, etc. where Dalvik expects them.

This capability ultimately led to a much better type system.

It's been fascinating to catch snippets of other #opensource #developers coming together to establish common ground over the last week. We had to work through a number of negative emotions once we got word about parts of our own projects being associated to #fascist shitbirds.

But what I'm enjoying the most is how like minded people are coming together and discussing how to move forward together, with a lot of common goals. People are discussing the effectiveness of current software licensing (#agpl, etc) and whether we need to make new ones, vetting of 3rd party libraries, and above all else, keeping the aforementioned shitbirds out.

And we do need to keep them out. Because they are going to keep outing themselves as the horrible people they are.

So far in the last month, I've watched #tailwindcss, #laravel, and #digitalocean go deep into the abyss with either supporting fascism and/or aggressively shoving AI shit into every thing they do.

Those 3 things I just mentioned are the primary tools I use in the work I have done for over a decade. And with each announcement regarding them, they were dead to me in that same moment.

I'm determined to build out my own replacements for #css and #php framework. Just like the #indieweb, it's all about owning your works with a strong #diy ethos.

It appears the #technofascist reveal party we're going through has allowed for good things to happen. Much to their chagrin...

I'm not a #neovim user, but it was on my list of editors to test out - due to the praise it's gotten from a lot of people I know and trust, as well as all over the Interwebs.

But I lost interest after seeing how the Neovim maintainer handled this case:

https://github.com/neovim/neovim.github.io/issues/501

I mean, that's just cruel behaviour of the project lead and maintainer.

I'm just disappointed. And I don't even care what anyone else think about that. This just makes Neovim a completely unacceptable project for me to even look at any closer.

Damn, #Codeberg is really taking off! Just noticed a project that has 901 stars. Those are 901 people who went out of their way to give a star to a project they liked, which means there must have been so many more who are using the project but did not give a star. Good to see that Codeberg is being used by so many people, as GitHub is truly unusable these days, with pages that refuse to load and GenAI pushed down your throat everywhere.

One shared Markdown index, many developers and coding agents writing through separate Git branches.

The entries may be completely unrelated - but if they land at the same place, Git can still produce a merge conflict.

I solved this in Keep the Why by giving the index deterministic A-Z / 0-9 write areas from the beginning.

The nice part: this mainly solves the sparse-index problem. As the index grows, its existing entries naturally create more separation.

It also makes the structure easier for coding agents to search.

White French text across the top reads Le monde sait aujourd'hui que les Fascistes n'ont rien à offrir à la jeunesse... sinon la mort, followed by a script signature reading Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Good idea: Run your own personal cloud

https://cloudinabottle.org

Most of the software we use every day runs on someone else's computer. Cloud in a Bottle is an open source project that lets you run your own cloud server with one click app installs, just like a smartphone. It works on an old laptop, a cheap rented server, or a managed instance starting at $5 a month. The catalog already includes file storage, a password manager, media streaming, a private search engine, and more. Every app runs in its own security sandbox and all your data stays yours with no lock in. It's early days but the whole thing is open source and actively developed.

Open source tools like FreeCAD are okay for quick sketches, but the transition from traditional CAD is often overrated. The flexibility is there, but the workflow feels clunky compared to what I used for my projects in Kyiv. Most people push it for the price, but for a real architect, the logic of the space matters more than the software license. It is a tool, not a solution for better design.

Ich hatte ein Tutorial zu RethinkDNS angekündigt. Das kommt auch - allerdings erst nach der angekündigten Überarbeitung der Benutzeroberfläche. So kann ich die Anleitung direkt auf Basis der neuen GUI erstellen und muss sie nicht kurz danach wieder neu erstellen bzw. anpassen.

Migrated my website from Ghost to a custom Laravel build this week.

Same content, full control over everything. Also switched from GitHub to Forgejo + CrowsCI. GitHub was getting expensive with multiple deploys a day for danielpetrica.com and laraplugins. In the age of AI coding, frequent deploys are the norm, not the exception.

Verified SEO status with seo.danielpetrica.com before and after to make sure nothing broke.

Hey #kubernetes anyone that cares about zone aware downscaling for hpa?

We think about trying to #opensource a controller that would fix the gap. Anyone interested in this would be great to let me know!

I can't get over how some projects have AGENTS.md that are substantially larger and more well written than then CONTRIBUTING.md

As a new #FreeBSD user, I’ve genuinely come to love working in a TTY. There’s something incredibly satisfying about navigating, configuring, and using my OS straight from the terminal! 😍

#FreeBSD #tty #Unix #FreeSoftware #OpenSource

I posted in an open source community chat, where everyone seems to get an appropriate response, and I got the response too, but it kinda didn’t resolve what I expected to get. It said that everything supposed to work. I explained in next 5-10 messages how to reproduce it, but got nothing in response. Is it that obvious that I should create an issue instead of dumping it in the chat?

RE: https://floss.social/@Luanti/117236624063635761

I must admit that I am not privy to the particulars of this matter. However, Luanti's contributions to the FOSS community would be best served by his continuation in his role. Microsoft has expressed concerns that the Luanti interface bears a striking resemblance to Minecraft. However, it's important to note that Luanti does not resemble Minecraft at all. Instead of being a closed source, Luanti is an open platform that empowers individuals to create their own gaming experiences and modifications.

Imagine if Luanti were a lookalike of Roblox, but it was born as free software and was part of the FOSS community. This would allow users to do anything with it and would not limit the creativity of game developers.

It should be noted that one of Luanti's games, Mineclonia, is a result of cloning/reversing Minecraft. However, its results differ significantly from the original Minecraft. Therefore, in the event of Microsoft withdrawing their DMCA claim, it would be reasonable to conclude that Luanti should be allowed to live.
