Förderaufrufe NLNet FOSS Frist 01.02. max. 50.000 Fördersumme
Ich bin nicht sicher, inwiefern das schon bekannt ist, bin aber auf diese wirklich offene Fördermöglichkeit zu Projekten im #fediverse heute erst zufällig gestoßen, es gibt auch noch eine zu #commons soweit weitere zu GNU usw.
Frist 1.02., man muss keine juristische Person sein, wer Interesse an #foss #opensource #gemeinwohl. hat, vielleicht lohnt sich ein Blick.

Jeff Bezos is saying the quiet part out loud. They want to kill local computing.
You will own nothing and be happy. You will rent your computing power from the cloud. You pay a subscription for the privilege of using a computer.
AI demand is artificially spiking DRAM prices and Big Tech is pushing "AI PCs," the squeeze is on to force us into a rental model.
Reject this future.
Keep your hardware local.
Run #Linux.
Own your data.
The "cloud" is just a landlord for your data.

Ko-Fi really wants me to make an account on the hell site, but I’m drawing a line in the sand.
As a disabled and omnisexual creator, I refuse to spend my energy in a place that feels increasingly hostile to my communities just for the sake of self promotion. I believe we can build successful brands right here on the #Fediverse without compromising our ethics or our safety. 🏳️🌈 ♿️
I am here to focus on what I love: GNU/Linux, open source, and high-quality ethical technologies. Speaking of things I love... I’ve officially set up a Ko-Fi goal to support my caffeine addiction! ☕️
I’m a bit of a coffee snob, even brewing at home is getting pricey with tariffs and inflation. If you appreciate a queer, disabled perspective on the #Linux world, I’d love your help reaching my $50 goal!

So uhhh... KDE 1 on Slackware 15, anyone?
I just switched here, after creating the instance! Time for a re-introduction.
I believe in:
🍁 Canadian digital sovereignty
🌐 Building the gardens, not the walls
🪨 Imagining Sisyphus happy (even when the boulder has ML capabilities)
I also host the https://northtube.ca platform!
If you're interested in #Django, #Fediverse infrastructure, #Philosophy, #Absurdism, or just #Canadian things, let's connect.
Some people in the #Python community seem to have some people upset at the PSF taking money from Anthropic. This baffles me a great deal because one of the biggest issues facing the OSS community in general is that big companies make their money from the hard work of the volunteers who build the OSS. This is a company - yes, a somewhat distasteful one but, IMO, no worse than Amazon, Google, or Meta - giving back to the community. This is what we are asking for.

Why run servers at home in 2026? For me, it comes down to three things: learning, privacy, and data ownership.
In my latest blog post, I walk through the current state of my homelab. I cover how I'm using NixOS to keep maintenance low, how I handle backups with Borg, and other goodies you may find interesting.

The new year has also brought new innovations in BastilleBSD.
1) The BastilleBSD ISO is progressing. Slated to track releng/15.1.
2) Development on a bastille-api is coming along. We're testing and validating with multiple web interface options.
3) Updates to the bastillebsd.org website including more blog content and community resources.

European Commission gathering feedback on the importance of open source
The European Commission recently launched a call for evidence on a newer initiative about the importance of open source, and their reliance on non-EU countries.

Pre-released Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-alpha.0-3: https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mastodon-bird-ui/releases/tag/4.0.0-alpha.0-3
tl;dr: It now includes a build system and is much lighter than the previous versions. Only compatible with Mastodon 4.6.0 alpha versions.
Brussels plots #opensource push to pry #Europe off #BigTech
According to the Commission, dependence on foreign vendors makes it harder for Europe to control its digital stack, potentially opening the door to security and resilience issues in sensitive sectors. Open source offers a way out of that bind by underpinning "a diverse portfolio of high-quality and secure digital solutions" that can act as viable alternatives to proprietary platforms, the EC said. https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2026/01/11/eu_open_source_consultation/

The first two versions of Google's #AlphaFold software (to predict protein folding) were #OpenSource, including the one that earned its developers the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. There were no restrictions on commercial use. But the third and most recent version blocks free commercial use, and is poised to earn $100+ billion from partnerships with #pharma companies. Then three MIT students reverse-engineered AlphaFold 3 and released their OSS model, called #Boltz, with no restrictions on commercial reuse. Like Red Hat, the Boltz team is making good money selling services while leaving the software free and open.

The EU, as well as every country in the world, should be taking seriously the importance of sovereign systems for communicating and disseminating information.
The ActivityPub protocol is proven and makes many platforms compatible and accessible to each other, allowing for effective information sharing and communication.
The only reason many people do not leave X is that many important services and public figures remain on that platform. Therefore, if countries truly care about digital sovereignty and resilience, they should adopt and promote the use of open source platforms and networks based on the ActivityPub protocol, whether it is Mastodon, Pleroma, Vebinet, or another platform.

I myself don’t believe my own plans until they actually happen but…
I’ll be at #FOSDEM !
I won’t bring a talk (unless someone invites me to improvise one on the spot 😛) but I’ll be there to listen, meet friends, and talk to folks interested in #OpenSource #AI, #agents, and what
@MozillaAI is doing.

🚀 새 오픈소스 프로젝트: hwplibsharp를 공개합니다!
.NET에서 HWP 파일을 다루고 싶었던 적 있으신가요? 저도 그랬습니다.
지난 3주간 Java 기반 hwplib를 .NET으로 완전히 포팅했습니다.
641개 파일, 50,000줄 이상의 코드, 54번의 커밋으로 .NET Standard 2.0, .NET Framework 4.7.2, .NET 8 이상을 지원하며, 크로스 플랫폼 (Windows, macOS, Linux)까지 고려한 것이 특징입니다.
AI 코딩 어시스턴트와 Visual Studio 2026의 에이전트 기반 디버거 덕분에 혼자서는 엄두도 못 냈을 규모의 프로젝트를 3주 만에 완료할 수 있었습니다.
특히 VS 2026의 디버거가 스스로 브레이크포인트를 설정하고, 변수를 추적하며, 문제의 근본 원인을 찾아주는 경험은 시니어 개발자와 페어 디버깅하는 느낌이었습니다.
이 프로젝트는 neolord0(박성균)님의 hwplib가 없었다면 불가능했습니다. 오픈소스 생태계는 이렇게 서로의 어깨 위에 서서 성장합니다.
Sad to see this happening: #Google will now publish #AOSP only in Q2 and Q4, instead of every quarter before. See the note on https://source.android.com (thanks to
