Another great talk from Michael Winser at @openssf / about the terrible economics of package registries like

fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event

Some charts from different registries are at go.xwind.io/registry-research-

The slide below is a take on some of the common "solutions" that people come up with for funding registries (also applicable to non-registry products with large numbers of downloads) and what might happen if you choose them

Can we price per download? Bandwidth? Charge publishers? Offter chargeable enterprise features?

🍝 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님, 절 구하소서.
😋 저의 주님, 어서 오셔서 저를 도우소서.

영광이 미트볼🧆과 소스🥫와 성면(the Holy Noodle)🍝께.
처음과 같이 이제와 항상 영원히. 라-멘 🍜

🍝 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님께서 당신 뜻과 함께 하는 사람들을 언제나 도와주고 계시니, 감사드리는 마음으로 기도합시다.
😋 저의 주님, 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님, 저희에게 은총을 베푸소서.

"17. 휴식 중에도 주님의 소스가 저희 영혼을 양분하시어, 내일의 선행을 할 힘을 얻게 하소서."

저의 주님, 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님,
이 몸을 편히 쉬게 하시고, 우리가 오늘 애써 뿌린 씨가 영원한 열매를 맺게 하소서.
라-멘 🍜

The social media giant cited alleged violations of the platform’s intellectual property and trademark rules.

The suspension places the account at risk of permanent deletion unless successfully appealed within 180 days.

나한테 '몰카'는 (물론 출연진들이 고생한 거와는 별개로) 이경규 씨가 진행한 프로그램과 거기서 파생된 여타 프로그램 및 비슷한 상황을 뜻하는 단어였는데 성범죄자들한테 빼앗기고 '깜짝카메라' 같은 듣도 보도 못한 조어를 써야했던 게 너무 억울하고 짜증남 몰카충들 싹다 범죄는 범죄대로 물론 처벌 받고 이걸로도 추가 처형시키고 싶음

‘성소수자 운동 발상지’서 무지개 깃발 내린 트럼프 [플랫] www.khan.co.kr/article/2026... "조란 맘다니 뉴욕시장은 “뉴욕은 현대 LGBTQ 인권운동의 발상지이며, 어떠한 역사 지우기 행위도 역사를 바꾸거나 침묵시킬 수 없다”면서 “우리 시는 이러한 유산을 존중할 뿐만 아니라 그에 부응할 의무가 있다”고 성명을 통해 밝혔다. 척 슈머 민주당 상원 원내대표도 “스톤월 국립기념물에서 성소수자 인권을 상징하는 무지개 깃발을 제거한 것은 매우 부당한 행위”라며 즉시 철회를 요구했다."

Started the day with a call from a client's intern, a bit full of himself: "Hey, you need to fix this... the network is pretty slow this morning, can you check?"

I take a look: lots of local IPs pulling heavy data from Apple servers. Me: "macOS 26.3 just dropped, are all your Macs updating at once?"
Him: "Well, obviously. It's an important update. We're doing our iPhones and iPads simultaneously too."

That’s 27 devices updating at the same time on a connection that caps out physically at 60 Mbps.
I explain the bottleneck.
His reply: "Can't you just ask Apple to use 'extra bandwidth' to push them through? They need to be done by 09:30 because that's when the real work starts and we want updated machines."

Me, confused: "No. However, I can prioritize work traffic and throttle the updates to use the leftover bandwidth. But they will definitely not be done by 09:30."

I broke his brain.
He kept insisting on "extra bandwidth" as if it were a premium feature to toggle on demand.
I explained that in their case, bandwidth is a physical limit (FTTC degraded to 60 Mbps), not a software cap, and certainly not controlled by Apple.

He finally understood, thanked me, and closed with a cryptic gem: "Sorry, I'm not an IT guy, but by now I've learned that tech products usually have limits imposed by price, not by physics, which are usually way ahead."

Basically, the technical limitations of the past have been overcome, only to be replaced by commercial ones.

And they call it evolution...

While many nations occasionally resort to a “state of exception” to deal with temporary crises, Israel exists in a permanent state of exception. This Israeli exceptionalism is the very essence of the instability that plagues the Middle East.

The concept of the state of exception dates back to the Roman justitium, a legal mechanism for suspending law during times of civil unrest.

The Sovereign Tech Agency is exploring how to better support open source maintainers and contributors who are actively working on technology standards relevant to their open source infrastructure projects.

Open standards are foundational to a healthy open source ecosystem. They enable interoperability, enhance digital sovereignty, foster competition and innovation and ensure that critical digital infrastructure remains accessible and serves the public interest.

The European Union approved the acquisition of the Israeli cybersecurity company Wiz by the American company Google in a deal valued at approximately 32 billion dollars, making it the largest in Google's history.

The deal came after a review by the European Commission for Competition, which concluded that it would not harm competition in the European market in the areas of cloud computing and cybersecurity, and it was approved without any regulatory conditions.

Wiz was founded in 2020 and focuses on providing protection solutions for digital and cloud infrastructures. The company’s team will continue within the division after the merger.

The deal has sparked criticism due to the company’s involvement in mass surveillance projects targeting Palestinians and its testing in connection with Israeli crimes against Palestinians.

Apparently my Fedi promo video is giving error messages on YouTube (shocker).

So I just logged on YouTube Studio for the first time in months to see what's going on... and found some interesting comments.

I'm not caffeinated enough to deliver zingers but I hope my response was adequate.

On the upside, I also saw a few comments of people who set up new accounts here, so yay.

As for the unplayable problem: no clue. But this is why I LOVE and on my website I'm using the PeerTube embed

A comment by a user that says: "Elena, congratulations on exposing yourself as the villain(cause) of all this. I genuinely hope big tech buys the Fediverse. I love how how everyone, here and big tech are going to lose." My response below: "Joke's on you because the entire point of the Fediverse is that it's made up of thousand of independent servers... it's basically billionaire-proof, nobody can buy it. Sure a billionaire could technically set up their own server but it would take seconds for people to defederate from it. That's what I love about the Fediverse: by the people, for the people, you're in control"
