Die unsichtbare Architektur des Lock-in-Effekts:
Ein ausgeklügelter Mechanismus, durch den proprietäre Technologie-Ökosysteme Nutzer und Institutionen an sich binden – selbst dann, wenn diese glauben, freie Entscheidungen zu treffen, offene Standards zu nutzen und eine unabhängige digitale Infrastruktur aufzubauen. Dies geschieht nicht durch Zwang, sondern durch eine subtilere und dauerhaftere Strategie: mit den Ebenen der Abhängigkeiten – erläutert hier im Blog:

I am currently conversing in a forum thread about Linux Audio, and a couple of developers are saying that it is not worth it to develop for Linux. They are complaining that Linux users are only a tiny fragment of the population, and it is a waste of development time.

Is there developer here in the Fediverse that can give me some positive quotes of their experiences in Linux Audio development that I can give to balance the argument a bit?

#Linux #LinuxAudio #MusicProduction #Plugins #VST3 #FOSS

I've oft had copyleft v. non-copyleft debates—usually heated—in public since USENIX ATC '98.
The *argument* wastes time. Sadly, #FOSS has 2 entrenched policy camps: 1 ultra-libertarian& 1 socialist-democratic;the philosophies are mutually exclusive.
Do: Advocate copyleft! Criticize billionaire-class(eg: #Microsoft &its #Github) on their 25yr anti-copyleft campaign! Write #copyleft sw! Fork non-copyleft sw!

I see some try to claim that the use of LLMs for software development is "bad for FOSS".

I don't see it. Here's some input from Torvalds:

"The [Linux kernel] project maintainers saw a surge in pull requests ahead of the 7.1 release, resulting in more commits during preparation than in any previous release. However, it became apparent that the surge in pull requests was due to AI use rather than increased interest in the new release, as Torvalds initially thought.

Still, as he noted, contributing to the kernel is a good thing with AI, and that very difficult process has been largely supported and, in many cases, augmented with AI tools. As he noted, there was a roughly 20% increase in submissions overall with the current Linux kernel release."

Introducing ZenZX v0.2.0

a ZX Spectrum emulator in Go, first public release.

Emulates 48K, 128K, +2 and +3, based on the zen80 Z80 core.
Two builds: a GUI emulator, and a CGO-free headless mode that boots a machine model, runs N frames, and dumps PNG screenshots — handy for testing Spectrum software without a display. Many games are known to work already (Bruce Lee, Head Over Heels, Batman, Jet Set Willy, Manic Miner, tested... "for science"). Known issues: snapshots, fast load, and sound are bad.

#Linux #Hitze #FOSS

What I'm curious about is if the driver's overhead is noticeable for normal games and if, how much. Because, if you want squeeze up the last frame, Linux is a better choice for the driver support; but today "squeeze" framerate means gaming at 4k, stuff that just some do.
What about "normal" gaming with more common 1080p (or less) screen, that I bet most still have and are ok with?
That's what I want see by myself.

I always used Xfce or cobbled together some *box setup because I had underspec'd hardware. Recently, I tried Fedora with Gnome on an old Ideapad and was seriously impressed with the performance. I last used Gnome maybe 15 years ago and it would grind my machine to a halt. Also, the whole Gnome environment feels very polished. (I've been a Mac user for ~20 years.) #Linux #FOSS

Linux on Older Hardware: The Complete Revival Guide (2026)

https://www.fosslinux.com/158206/linux-on-older-hardware-revival-guide.htm

Revive your old PC with Linux in 2026. I tested lightweight distros, zram tuning, SSD upgrades, and browser optimization on a 2014 ThinkPad to show you exactly what works.

One thing about the vibe coder that was whining his contribution to emacs was blocked only because he was "honest". If you actually take a look at his patch, it does nothing of what he says it does. It supposed to cache `NSColor` objects to reduce allocations but it *still* allocates every single time. It is unmitigated slop that would not be merged even if he lied about using LLMs.

People think the #Matrix was about robots. It wasn't. It was about operating systems.

#Windows is the blue pill.

You take it, and everything stays comfortable. Pretty icons. Friendly sounds. A setup wizard asking if you want to save your soul to the #cloud. Updates appear at the worst possible moment like a Marvel post-credit scene nobody asked for. Your #PC reboots. You cry. #Microsoft thanks you for improving your experience.

#Linux is the red pill.

You wake up. You see how deep the #RabbitHole goes.

At first, it is terrifying. The #terminal stares at you like Darth Vader asking if you know the power of the #CommandLine. You type one wrong character and feel like you accidentally launched nuclear missiles.

But then something changes. You realize your #computer actually belongs to you.

No ads in the Start Menu. No #AI assistant spying harder than a reality TV producer.

No mysterious background process eating half your #RAM like Pac-Man after three energy drinks.

You choose what gets installed. You choose when #updates happen. You choose what your #desktop looks like.

You are Neo.

Windows #users are still sitting in their pods, downloading the latest mandatory #update called KB-Whatever-Again, wondering why their printer suddenly speaks ancient Sumerian.

Linux is not perfect. Sometimes Wi-Fi drivers behave like a side quest in Dark Souls.

Sometimes you spend two hours fixing a problem just to feel smarter than everyone else.

But that is the point. The red pill was never about comfort. It was about #freedom.

And freedom means occasionally reading a forum post written by a Finnish guy in 2007 who solved your #problem and vanished forever like a #Jedi master.

Welcome to Linux. There is no spoon. Only #sudo.

I managed to install FreeBSD on my main pc, with a caveat. I picked the 16-Current because it supports the Lan chip of my motherboard, that lacks in the 15-1 STABLE.
It is not ideal, but picking the Stable would had mean doing some moves between partitions for the drivers, and Freebsd is here for tests and isn't really an issue.
So here what is all about.
🧵

#bsd #freebsd #linux #pcgaming #retrogaming #FOSS

I don't find nothing serious about gaming on FreeBSD, mostly just an "it's work" and nothing else.
I got the curiosity to test deep the gaming experience on this platform, all the tools are here, Wine for Windows-only games, and the Linux layer of FreeBSD for the Linux releases.

I put FreeBSD 16 on a small partition and I plan to run some games and do a comparison with Linux on another one on the same disk and machine.

First, installing FreeBSD is a bit like installing Arch, but simpler. The installer gives you a base and later you add what you need, Xorg or Wayland + a DE.
At opposite of Linux, FreeBSD team cares just of the base system, setting up and configuring the desktop is an user task, and what is installed in the begin is really a small set. If you use a different language than English, you need to set up the locales too.

#bsd #freebsd #linux #pcgaming #retrogaming #FOSS

Done this, if you don't know what is under the hood, you would not tell that you are running FreeBSD.
The difference for the desktop user is the repository. Is larger than seems, and is quite updated, maybe not quicker as Arch, but you haven't dusty versions like on Debian, and you have much more than on Debian and possibly other distros without rely on third part repositories.
Is rich that I don't feel I missing flatpak for now.

#bsd #freebsd #linux #pcgaming #retrogaming #FOSS

Example, I love put Xscreensaver on any system I use. Debian is stuck at 6.09, while both FreeBSD and Arch have the 6.15.

https://pkgs.org/search/?q=xscreensaver

Librewolf and Amiberry are missing on Debian, while they are in FreeBSD without external repos. Arch cheats using AUR.

The ports could, however, miss something because most soft is thought for Linux, therefore check if fits also in your requirements.

More about gaming of FreeBSD.

Is better than many would tell, really. The inconvenience is mostly when they do linux-only stuff, that is the same bad when they do windows-only stuff.
The pick at the end if is you like the underlying system.
Is like Debian but much less obtuse and more slim.

I could still suggest to run a double boot for when Linux is needed.

Don’t use #Meta products anymore, but I have in the past. Today, I got an email from the company, and this was the first sentence: “The setting to disconnect your off-Meta activity is going away.” Because…of course it is. This continued #enshittification of the #internet in general and social media specifically is predatory corporate BS - and #TechBros are making it harder and harder to opt out - without taking drastic steps. #SurveillanceCapitalism is predicated on collecting our data to use against us in the marketplace, and lately…to use against us in the political arena as well. It didn’t have to be this way. Thank goodness for the #fediverse, for #FOSS and for those hardy souls who continue to resist #CorporateGreed and #CorporateTerrorism.

Neue Aufgabe fürs Wochenende freigeschaltet:
Alternative zu TrueNAS finden, installieren und alle Daten erneut kopieren.

TrueNAS ist toll in der Bedienung und so, aber in einer VM läuft es absolut unrund.

Zweimal ist es eingefroren, einmal ist es eingefroren und hat den kompletten Homeserver lahmgelegt und heute Nacht ist es eingefroren und hat alle VMs lahmgelegt. Jetzt lassen sich weder TrueNAS noch Homeassistant ohne Reboot des Nodes starten 😑

Irgendwer Ideen/Vorschläge?
Nur NAS Funktion, soll in Proxmox VM laufen. OpenMediaVault? Was anderes?

It has been a lifelong dream of mine to have my own library - to that end i have been collecting books most of my life.

One thing that i've always wanted to add is a catalogue - preferably one that allows me to loan books to friends and keep track of it (because why have books if not to share!)

I have googled around but have not found anything great - tbh, i'm considering just doing a shared spreadsheet at this point.

But if you have your own library catalogue or have used any such software, I am VERY interested to know and hear any tips and tricks you might have!!

as always, bonus points for #FOSS but interested in hearing about anything that works.

@brynet nothing shameful about it. I would prefer #foss dev to signal their needs indeed.

especially if it can prevent them to become another fucking youtuber.

Switched to FOSS, Linux, and decentralized social media (Mastodon, Lemmy, PeerTube) a few months ago and honestly? it's been life-changing.

no more doom-scrolling Instagram or Facebook. no more anxiety about missing out. no more comparing myself to people's highlight reels. the constant itch to check Snapchat? gone.

using tools that respect my privacy and attention—instead of mining them—has made me feel genuinely awake again. less envy, less FOMO, less addiction pulling at my brain.

turns out when you're not being algorithmically manipulated, you actually feel better. who knew? 🙃

Since evaluating possible #Mattermost replacements and settling (more or less) on @nextcloud Talk, I realised there basically isn't any #webhook support in the way you usually think of it (create a hook, copy the secret URL, push messages to it). So I made this:

You just download the script to a 'webhooks' directory in your #Nextcloud deployment, change a few lines and copy the provided #NGINX config to your vhost.

I am planning to build home server on an extremely tight budget.

Target spec:

• Intel Core 2 Quad (LGA 775) — Rp. 50K
• G41 motherboard — Rp. 100K–150K
• 4GB DDR3 — Rp. 50K–75K
• 450W PSU (used) — Rp. 75K–80K
• ATX case (used) — Rp. 30K–75K

Total target: under Rp. 350K

Planning to run it headless on Linux for personal FTP, a lightweight fedi server, and self-hosted services. For storage, I just need to buy M.2 SATA to convensional SATA converter (as since I already have SSD on my laptop to use it). Sometimes the old hardware is all you need. 🖥️

I got triggered by recent discussions about #FOSS and #LLMs. They tie into much more broad concerns I have about the communities, and so I finally caved and wrote... well, not a manifesto.
