New nail art!
Iran did interfere in the 2020 + 24 elections but it didn’t do much. Those of us working on the Election Integrity Partnership pointed it out at the time. This same right wing bullshit machine alleged that our work was a “censorship industrial complex” and we were attacked by Jim Jordan, Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger who said there was no such thing as disinformation. The FBI task force that worked on this was disbanded as “censors”. Chris Krebs at CISA was fired and smeared.
Back in 2022, surrounded by colleagues who were infused with "open source scepticism", I wrote "Open Source in Enterprise Environments - Where Are We Now and What Is Our Way Forward?" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/opensource_enterprise_notes.html as an explainer.
Hopefully a useful thing for others too, with links therein #freesofware #opensource #enterprise #openbsd #freebsd #netbsd #linux
Since the original came out, I have made updates here and there, and added references to some newer material.
You could see "EU CRA: It's Later Than You Think, Time to Engineer Up!" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/eu_cra_its_later_than_you_think_time_to_engineer_up.html as a further development in response to the real world (or at least the EU parts) moving forward.
CfP is coming up for EuroBSDCon 2026 in September!
https://2026.eurobsdcon.org/
17 new VMs were added and 68 VMs were renewed.
We donated €1190 to the #OpenBSD Foundation, €63385 since we started.
Thank you, our users, and OpenBSD developers for an awesome OS!
Stay safe & healthy!
#RUNBSD in 2026
Is FreeBSD us or international project?

There is an assumption that joy and work are different things.
If something is extremely boring or annoying with a task at work, it's treated as an "oh well, that's life" by most people and most bosses.
I think that's fundamentally flawed.
I also don't think joy means to make things easy. Some of the most delightful and creative experiences I've ever had are when I had to work in constraints.

It’s possible that these vehicle swarms we’re seeing are more along those lines: making a show of “investigating” and arresting the regime’s political undesirables.
I’ll also repeat my guess that they’re going to keep trying to pump up their abduction count by targeting places like prisons and farms and industrial sites where the kidnappings won’t get filmed.
They wouldn’t be buying up all those concentration camps if the didn’t think they’re going to fill them.

@inthehandsPaul Cantrell You can’t have the largest law enforcement budget in the US and have ICE do *nothing* with it.
They will use that money, one way or another.

The creator of Nearby Glasses made the app after reading 404 Media's coverage of how people are using Meta's Ray-Bans smartglasses to film people without their knowledge or consent. How it works:

my big tomcat Siberian cat trying to be even bigger, when he met a dog-slash-lion the other day.
I hope you have a restful weekend and that next week makes it up to you!

Are Western Digital drives trustworthy these days. If I want to buy a pretty big non-flash hard drive for "backup and throw in a drawer" purposes, is this a good choice

Finished my mail-in ballot for the #Munich city council election. 1 vote for the next mayor. 31 votes for the local council, 80 votes for the city council. In total around 2 square meter of paper. Uffa. Democracy is work. Especially for the brave citizens that will count the votes. You have my biggest respect!

What if I could convince you that taking the same time to explain detailed requirements and carefully validate results with a junior colleague instead of a chatbot would not only give you two people who understood the code instead of zero, but if you do it a few times in a row you eventually get a senior colleague out of the deal for free.

Im Landkreis Harz arbeiten Schüler:innen auf gebrauchten Business-Laptops mit #Linux-OS.
"Ich unterrichte keine Marke, sondern ich unterrichte Kompetenzen. Textverarbeitung, Textstrukturierung oder Tabellenkalkulation können mit #LibreOffice genauso vermittelt werden wie mit #Microsoft Office." - Lehrerin Johanna Müller
Genau so geht #digitaleSouveranität und selbstbestimmte Techniknutzung! Keine überteuren Lizenzen, keine Schaffung von (Pfad)abhängigkeiten bereits im Kindesalter, keine Produktwerbung, für die auch noch gezahlt wird. Stattdessen nebenbei kritisches Denken fördern, während vordergründig Bürosoftware gelernt wird.
