The EU needs a corporate “open source contribution tax” to fund open source maintainers

Open source, the thing that drives the world, the thing Harvard says has an economic value of 8.8 trillion dollars (also a big number). Most of it is one person. And I can promise you not one of those single person projects have the proper amount of resource

Heading to EuroBSDCon 2025 in September ?

Don’t miss the FreeBSD Developer Summit, taking place September 24–25 in Zagreb, Croatia, colocated with EuroBSDCon. This event brings FreeBSD committers and community contributors together to plan, collaborate, and shape the future of the Project.

Travel info and hotel options can be found on the EuroBSDCon travel site

⚠️ News/Changes:

BoxyBSD will bring in a feature for more advanced users for our free boxes. Instead of only selecting a set of pre-defined BSD based images, you'll soon also be able to create your install simply from scratch with full remote access to your box. This lets you perform custom installations of #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #MidnightBSD but also of some other niche systems like #illumos

Unfortunately, this might still take some time and fully relies on the spare time of @gyptazy.

📣 Hello! We've formally sent a proposal to the GNOME Foundation and KDE e.V. leadership for a unified Linux App Summit (LAS) that would merge GUADEC, Akademy, and the current LAS into a single event.

We're sharing it with you as an open letter. Our goal is to create a more efficient, cost-effective, and impactful conference for everyone. We invite you to read the full proposal and share your thoughts.

Is that not easily determined by sending a

httping

to the server, before that sending a httping to the nearest router, and then setting a httping to the Gateway behind it. Before that running

ip -c a
ip r 

to see the route?

Then run

httping -Kv {server IP/name} 

Amaze yourself with the output.

If your server is approached from a wireless device run

sudo horst

and analyze the WiFi network surrounding your server. Maybe that Ubiquiti device on the ceiling finally started to act up and just kicked the bucket

Responding for your friend.

Oops now you also know what I like to do for fun ;)

Reason 7 To Choose Linux 😍

You decide when to install updates and reboot your computer!

Security updates are critical. They should be done early and often to keep your computer safe.

But you don't want your device to force an update - and then reboot - while you're working.

With #Linux, the decision when to update is yours.

What was your first contact with free (as free speech) softwares?

For me, I think it was in 2003 with (The) GIMP and OpenOffice.
Heard about the first one back in 1999/2000 with a CD full of softwares you can find with some magazines, and the second one at my high school as some PC were equipped with it to save some money.
