FLOSS #MaintainerLife public service advisory:
If you're filing a potential bug upstream in #GNOME, particularly on rapidly-improving apps like GNOME Calendar, please test the latest version, unmodified by third-parties. #Flatpak helps.
Don't come at me with a 4-years-old version cowboy-patched against our will by #Linux distros like Mint; I will send you downstream, like this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/1526#note_2640160

🎓 2025 Google Summer of Code participant Aaron Espinoza ran a project to test FreeBSD device drivers written in Rust. Here’s a short introduction to that piece of work.
Watch Aaron’s GSoC talk: https://youtu.be/y82-t1tDLWg?si=9n6X3uDZB_Hk3mDr
💻 Explore the code: https://github.com/Acesp25/rustkld
We’re grateful to Aaron, his mentors, and the FreeBSD/GSoC community for advancing this work.
👉 What are your thoughts on using Rust for FreeBSD driver development?

Hello dear Fediversers,
My students want to improve their home lab backups and have come up with the idea of storing their offsite backups with each other instead of in the cloud.
My question is, does anyone know of any software or solutions for this? It doesn't have to be open source, but it would be best if it were. The option to encrypt the backups is not essential, but would be preferable.
Please boost.
Many thanks for any tips.
Nowy rok, nowa energia, a to oznacza jedno: ruszamy z intensywnymi przygotowaniami do kolejnej Sesji Linuksowej!
Przed nami jubileuszowa, 20. edycja jednej z najstarszych imprez poświęconych Linuksowi i Open Source w Polsce.
Czekają na Was dwa dni merytorycznych prelekcji, inspirujących spotkań, integracji i… dużo więcej!
Już wkrótce zdradzimy więcej szczegółów – obserwujcie nas i bądźcie na bieżąco!

thinking about foss stuff, and I know I've groused about licensing stuff before, and how I feel like my only way out is to just Parity7 everything and fall into obscurity but...
...I think we need a different movement around open source, with new terminology, that clarifies the intent and opens doors to more pro-social behavior and capabilities (up to and including the potential for "ethical licensing").
I've been spitballing the terms Common Software and Community Software. The core idea is that things that count as Community/Common Software can't enter the realm of the proprietary (so, strong copyleft a-la AGPL and Parity, virality not necessary). What's the difference from "Free Software"? We get rid of "freedom zero", aka "the freedom to run software for any purpose". Common Software licenses may have Non-Commercial clauses, Anti-Particular-Industry clauses (such as anti-MIC stuff), etc.
I think "freedom zero" was a grave mistake. I get where it came from--a desire to remove discrimination--but what it resulted in was a hijacking of Free Software by the corporate "Open Source" wing to exploit an otherwise healthy community of people openly sharing their creations... for an enormous profit that we can't even quantify right now.
We need a strong return to copyleft, and we need to gather together and grow its existing ecosystem, away from the MIT/BSD poison that our world has turned towards.
Your thoughts are welcome on this. I want to have a conversation about this stuff and maybe eventually record all this in a longer-form blog post. If you know folks who have had similar thoughts please link them so we can chat, too.

manpageblog v1.6 just got released. It is a static blog engine concept that treats written content like classic Unix man pages. It puts content first without sacrificing style and delivers a clean, elegant reading experience free from JavaScript, infinite scrolling, and other distracting clutter. The result is a fast, focused, and genuinely enjoyable way to consume high-quality content which can easily be served on very low power systems and follows the pure minimalism concept.
manpageblog is written in Python and available for many systems, including #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD or #Solaris based ones like #Illumos but also on #Linux like #Debian or #Ubuntu.
Changelog v1.6:
The project source is available on GitHub at: https://github.com/gyptazy/manpageblog
You can find a real-life demo on my website at https://gyptazy.com

Little Bits: Issue #29 For September 2025
A fresh new issue is here overflowing with discovered little bits to explore and a message of personal reflection on the challenges of writing.
Are you into #opensource ? And in the #eu ?
There is a Call for Feedback by the European Commission for a 'European Open Digital Ecosystem Strategy' For strategic approach to #foss in Europe, and a framework for using open source within the European Commission. You can respond until 3 February. It is useful to respond even if your point has already been submitted by someone else. The number and repetition of arguments is used as a weight. https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/16213-European-Open-Digital-Ecosystems_en cc #fosdem
Plasma 6.5 is out! Look forward to cool interface re-designs (rounded corners! Automatic smooth light-to-dark transitions!), features (smart KRunner searches! Pinned clipboard items!) and tons of usability and accessibility improvements:
RE: https://androiddev.social/@MishaalRahman/115849772521760098
It’s worth repeating. Android is not a viable base for an independent or even just collaborative operating system. Android is Google and only Google’s project.
If you want to see an actually transparent, international, and collaborative system on phones, support @postmarketOS

Den Digital Independance Day finde ich toll. Allerdings werde ich mich nicht stur - auch wenn ich gebürtige Sauerländerin bin (uns sagt man ja Sturheit nach und häufig stimmt es) - an die Monatsregel halten, sondern mein eigenes Tempo bestimmen.
Ferner habe ich seit Anfang 2023 bereits sehr Vieles im digitalen Bereich umgestellt.
01/2023: Auf Nimmerwiedersehen Twitter.
01/2023: Hallo Fediverse via Mastodon.
03/2024: Proton VPN abonniert.
Herbst 2024: Auf Nimmerwiedersehen, Facebook.

🎥 Homelabbing - na co to komu? Jak serwować swoje usługi zamiast zdawać się na komercyjne chmury.
@stfn opowiada, jak uruchomić na własnym #RaspberryPi lub starym komputerze domowe centrum danych z wolnym oprogramowaniem, które zastąpi komercyjne, inwazyjne usługi — od prywatnego przechowywania zdjęć po własne repozytoria kodu.

Markdown support is coming to #LibreOffice! And a new dialog to edit table styles, Python and BASIC code auto-completion, Rust UNO language bindings, and more - all thanks to participants in the Google Summer of Code: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/10/22/libreoffice-and-google-summer-of-code-2025-the-results/ #foss #OpenSource
The EU is working on what is in essence a new Open Source strategy for Europe, and the call for evidence is now open. This is our cue to provide feedback and input to the strategy!
If you are involved in the Open Source community in any way, if you benefit (or could benefit) in any way from Open Source, or if you're simply interested in questions about digital sovereignty, please visit https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/16213-European-Open-Digital-Ecosystems_en for details on how to contribute.

We are excited to share our latest work on making secure messaging more decentralized!
We've developed DMLS – a new approach that brings fork resilience to the MLS protocol, solving a key challenge in distributed systems while maintaining Forward Secrecy.
This work was made possible by eQualitie, who funded it as part of the SplinterCon Breakout program.
