Time for a new #introduction

Been offline for some time now but getting tired of Instagram again so here we are.

Wanting to post on #privacy, #coding, #selfhosting. Lobbying for open software and real social networks with organisations, unions, councils etc.

Some politics may slip in here or there, wanted to do two different accounts but don't have the time to maintain one.

Happy to meet you all!

Here is how I wasted the last 30 minutes with #mozilla #thunderbird Suddenly, the "add attachment" dialogue window stopped appearing. I could not attach memes to my emails anymore. I messed a bit around, unsuccessfully. Nothing appears anywhere in logs. I also checked #bugzilla , but that bug tracker is a huge mess and I can't wrap my head around it. Defeated, I tried #ai , which, I have to admit, helped. But not immediately. It went carefully through discarding possible culprits one by one, starting from the most common issues, until it found the cause. The culprit, in my case, is a ridiculous #bug (anyone feel free to report it, I won't touch Bugzilla with a stick) I deleted the last directory which I had last used to attach a file from. This path remains stored as default "last used" directory. Thunderbird did not find the directory anymore and decided to FREAK OUT SILENTLY instead of doing something sensible, like defaulting to my home, or at least alerting me that the directory could not be found. I want my 30 minutes back :( #rant #linux #opensource #foss #floss

Mein erster richtiger Fehler unter Linux war ein gelöschter Bootloader. Ich hatte damals keine Ahnung, was GRUB eigentlich ist, und dachte, ein paar Dateien in /boot wären Ballast. Der Rechner startete danach nicht mehr, und ich saß vor einem schwarzen Bildschirm ohne Plan B. Was mir damals geholfen hat, war die Gemeinschaft. In einem Forum hat sich jemand die Zeit genommen, mir ruhig zu erklären, was ein Bootloader macht und wie ich das System von einem Live USB wieder zum Laufen bringe. Ich habe eine Nacht dran gesessen und dabei mehr gelernt als in den Wochen davor. Heute weiß ich, dass genau das Linux für mich ausmacht. Fehler sind kein Weltuntergang, weil es fast immer einen Weg zurück gibt und jemanden, der ihn kennt. Aus meinem schlimmsten Moment wurde so einer der besten. Hattest du auch schon so einen Moment, bei dem ein Fehler dich weitergebracht hat? #CachyOS #Linux #OpenSource #neuhier

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' OpenSSH to 10.6p1 here: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/35346 GitHub Continuous Integration checks passed OK. It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it. (I am less certain what to do about the sandboxing support removal mentioned by @brynet@bsd.network believe it or not, I kinda despise Apple and macOS; yet I figure down streaming things for others since I am doing it myself is hopefully beneficial? If I am going to have to get more into the internals of a proprietary for-profit OS from a company that has trillions [plural] in its market cap? I kinda feel as if they may actually be able to afford to employ folks to do this stuff and I am less certain I want to be among them? Particularly given that supposedly in recent years, Apple has become subsumed to some degree by Unit 8200 [e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc-iH5GEPJ8&t=480s] like the politics and optics of all that are, awful [Unit 8200 are Israeli spies, essentially]; and probably also a big part of why the new Apple Watch is Big Brother "always listening" as just one example of how the company professing to be privacy focused, in practice: is more like 1984's double-speak in 2026. If you can, I would sincerely encourage you to use OpenSSH on OpenBSD!) #OpenSSH #MacPorts #SecureShell #macOS #Encryption #OpenSource

｢ Projects that continue to prohibit AI-generated vulnerability reports are no longer suitable dependencies for GNOME, and should be developed someplace other than GNOME GitLab. We don’t have to tolerate bad issue reports, but AI use alone should not be disqualifying ｣ https://blogs.gnome.org/mcatanzaro/2026/10/02/the-era-of-software-quality-or-the-era-of-ostriches/ #gnome #ai #redhat #opensource
Michael Catanzaro's Blog

The Era of Software Quality, or the Era of Ostriches?

Humans are bad at writing secure code, and GNOME developers are no exception. GNOME is primarily written using unsafe programming languages where simple mistakes in our code lead to devastating consequences for our users, and we make these mistakes all the time. No matter how much we try, GNOME developers will fail write secure code...

Hello. This is the account for Mise, a privacy focused browser I have been building, mostly for my own daily use. It has workspace isolation, a built in ad blocker, tab hibernation, split view, a PDF reader, dark mode, and a userscript engine among other things. Close to a 1.0 release now. Happy to answer questions, and always interested in which sites trip the fingerprint protections if anyone runs into that. https://rakosn1cek.github.io/Mise-browser/ #Introduction #FOSS #OpenSource #Privacy #Electron #Linux

West Coast, with penguins: Aaltoverb on Linux; Aalto 2 coming soon - CDM Create Digital Music

Madrona Labs' patchable West Coast synth is one of the most playable, exploration-friendly, unique instruments around -- a piece of software to last. And it comes with a reverb companion, now on Linux, too as a free demo you can beta-test. The big news: Aalto 2 is coming this fall for macOS, Windows -- and Linux, too.

Pixelfed is choosing its mission over a quick payday. Despite receiving major offers, the project is staying focused on building a social platform designed to last — one that can grow to 100M+ users while creating a sustainable model for creators and admins. In a social media world driven by profit, choosing independence is a powerful statement. Maybe the future of social media can be built differently. #Pixelfed #Fediverse #SocialMedia #Creators #OpenSource
