Wer 8.8.8.8 nutzt, hat die Kontrolle verloren. Bequemlichkeit ist der Käfig, den Big Tech uns gebaut hat. 🤷‍♂️

Ich habe den Stecker gezogen. In Teil 3 des Project Rebel Homebase bauen wir echte Souveränität.

Kein „Zwei Pi-holes im DHCP“-Gebastel. Sondern High Availability mit Keepalived, Unbound & virtueller IP. Overkill? Vielleicht. Aber mein „Stormtrooper“ verfehlt sein Ziel nicht. 🎯

Die Anleitung zur Unabhängigkeit:

Der 'Rebel Cube' Homelab-Server im schwarz-weißen Stormtrooper-Design. Der Aufbau von oben nach unten: Ein ZimaBlade mit NVMe-SSDs, zwei Raspberry Pi CM4 Blades als redundanter DNS-Cluster, ein 2.5G PoE-Switch und ein 10G-Switch als Basis.

Neulich habe ich einen Bericht im Fernsehen gesehen, wo unter anderem die #OpenSource Minidrohne #Crazyflie von #Bitcraze gezeigt wurde. Fliegt indoor, wiegt knappe 30g, unter 10cm klein.
Ich dachte mir: Nettes Spielzeug. Mal schauen, was das kostet. Nur mal so for fun eine kaufen.
Die rufen doch für so ein kleines Ding allen Ernstes $285,60 auf. Denen brennt doch echt der Helm.

Deno installation on Linux is luckily also trivial. I did it in Debian based distributions, on X86 and ARM.

Deno is needed for ytdlp because a full JavaScript stack needs to be invoked to tame the Beast of YouTube. Ytdlp does not need deno anywhere else.

It's still the only way to ensure that Alphabet gets the least information possible from you, when you have to fetch some data that is served from there. Thanks to ytdlp I play with typescript in deno

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.

@BenjaminHCCarr Something like @mullvadnet's browser?

#Helium #Browser #Brave #opensource #webbrowser #ungoogled #chromium #privacy

Dunking on people and companies is more popular than saying anything positive, but, #mozilla with #firefox created the web as we have it today.

Without them, without Gecko, we might be trying to run Internet Explorer 6.1 service pack 15.

Y'all don't remember how broken the web was with ie6 as the only viable browser. ActiveX, VBscript. Transparent PNGs were <object>s!

Nothing worked outside of ie6.

Give them the benefit of the doubt. They want an open and usable web.

It's icy and cold out there, but what's knocking at the door? It's a new Continuwuity release!

Continuwuity 0.5.2 is out now with some handy new features! I think it's some some real hits this time. We now integrate with Meowlnir and Draupnir to perform server-wide invite anti-spam, so you don't have to lift a finger to deal with those unwanted invites. We've also added limited use registration tokens that you can create from the admin room, so you can let your friend create an account - or build a more complicated pipeline.

We've added more features to help secure your server - you can configure admins in your configuration file now, and disable all users in your admin room being administrators. You can also lock user accounts as well as logging out all sessions for an account using an admin command.

Full changelog: https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/releases/tag/v0.5.2

Is #Helium the #Browser #Brave Was Meant to Be?
Helium is an effort to escape the clutches of big tech's data-hungry ways: an #opensource #webbrowser, built on the foundation of #ungoogled #chromium, but with an array of privacy-boosting features thrown in. It's essentially what some are calling a "Better Brave than Brave", giving us all the #privacy benefits, and none of the controversial history.

A vibrant, whimsical illustration set against a sky backdrop with clouds and a sun. In the scene 1. A stylized blue whale, representing Docker, floats on the water. 2. On the whale, a butler dressed in a suit and carrying a sommelier's napkin on his forearm, symbolizing the Linux tool 'Jenkins'. 3. A torch with a flame, representing Prometheus, burns on the tip of the Docker whale's nose. 4. A flag with "LEMP" written on it, which stands for Linux, Nginx, MySQL, and PHP, a common web stack for web servers. It is attached to a buoy that bears the NGINX logo. 5. A stylized sun with rays, representing the open-source community's energy and collaboration. 6. The Grafana logo 7. A small dolphin creature, symbolizing MySQL, is playing by balancing the Grafana logo on its nose. 8. Paper airplanes flying in the sky, which represented ShadowSocks, a VPN tool used at the time to bypass the great firewall of China. The overall theme conveys a sense of unity, innovation, and collaboration within the open-source ecosystem.

Trotz Herausforderungen setzt #SchleswigHolstein konsequent auf #OpenSource in Verwaltung und Justiz.

Seit 2024 werden Systeme wie #LibreOffice, #Nextcloud und #Linux eingeführt, um digitale #Souveränität zu stärken und Abhängigkeiten zu reduzieren.

Der Umstieg sorgt für Kritik, etwa von Gerichten, zeigt aber laut #Digitalisierungsministerium bereits Einsparungen bei #Lizenzkosten. Auch international stößt der Ansatz auf großes Interesse.

EU is calling for comments on open source strategies. MAKE YOURSELF HEARD!

Even non-EU citizens have a voice here.

NOW is a time to stand up and stand out! YOU want to help the Fediverse? Here's just one way today that YOU can REALLY make a difference:

The European Open Digital Ecosystem Strategy will set out:

• a strategic approach to the open source sector in the EU that addresses the importance of open source as a crucial contribution to EU technological sovereignty, security and competitiveness
• a strategic and operational framework to strengthen the use, development and reuse of open digital assets within the Commission, building on the results achieved under the 2020-2023 Commission Open Source Software Strategy.

No one tells you just how much work goes into a small YouTube channel. For me, Terminal Tilt is a labor of love, but it is a massive undertaking:

Research and Writing: This is the largest portion. Not just diving into topics, but finding ones truly worth your time.

Filming and Privacy: I have chosen a "headless" approach (screen-only). It respects my privacy and helps me manage the workload, but it still requires a lot of setup.

Voiceovers: This is the hardest part for me. Managing social anxiety while recording is a constant hurdle, but it is one I am getting better at with every video.

Editing: I am currently spending 8–12 hours per video (since last video). As I learn more techniques, the complexity grows, but so does the quality.

The small Stuff: Learning GIMP for thumbnails and managing promotion. Those little things really do add up.

I am disabled and currently navigating the long road to SSDI approval. My goal is to grow Terminal Tilt into something sustainable, a way to support myself while advocating for ethical, #NoAI, and #deGoogled technology. I am taking this seriously and I am having a lot of fun building this.

If you value independent, human-made tech content, there are a few ways to help keep the terminal open:

Thank you all for the follows, the boosts, and the support. It means the world to have your backing as I build an independent channel focused on what actually works, not just what's trending.
