Karte mit den nächsten Digital Independence Day Veranstaltungen.

Heute ist #DIDAY - und wir sind stolz, Teil dessen zu sein! Jeden ersten Sonntag im Monat auf die gute Seite wechseln:

Weg von Big Tech, hin zu demokratiefreundlichen Alternativen - dafür stehen wir bei #Ossrox jeden Tag: Mit #Hosting für Mastodon, Nextcloud, Matrix & Co.

Wechselrezepte gibt’s hier: https://di.day – Hosting dazu gern bei uns 😊

Was habt ihr heute gewechselt?

PegaProx v1.0 Release

We got a lot of feedback about choosing a distro for the friends and family we support, but a lot of suggestions didn’t make sense to us. We get into why we pick boring and safe choices instead of interesting and exciting ones.

Für den authorativen DNS im Backend von powerdns-Admin auf poweradmin gewechselt.
Nun muss ich noch Keycloak anbinden und Zonenadmins hier einrichten. Wird auch nochmals ein kleiner Spaß.

Sync nach den externen DNS läuft, auch dort die Weiterleitung an das BelWü
Serial wird somit hochgesetzt.

Jetzt aber Feierabend

With several open source figures taking a stance on either side of the generative AI debate, we have another argument about it. This time we actually come to something closer to an understanding of each other’s views, even if we still end up disagreeing.

@olivenolje that would be good. I think there's a role here for all of us to call upon orgs and app developers not to use the strictest Google Integrity API settings. 'Secure' and 'Google verified' are not one and the same. Open letters and involving Consumer Rights Authorities would def help.

Besides that, European governments need to start investing in and using #opensource alternatives for the mobile ecosystem. Not just for device attestation, but also for app stores and mobile OS's.

There's an interesting (and surprisingly respectful) discussion happening around device attestation using Google's Integrity API vs open alternatives on the NL-Wallet github page. 👀

Vaultwarden 1.37.0: Sicherheitsupdate für den Passwort-Server

@stefano it's certainly one of the upsides to #OpenSource. @netbsd alone has helped keep tons of useful but vendor abandoned hardware out of the recycling bin.

Does language choice actually matter?

Guys, it’s been a long time since I’ve been this happy with a computer purchase! Fedora recognized all my hardware perfectly right out of the box, and everything works great!

I’ve had very different experiences with my various mini-PCs made in Chinese factories using child labor, especially with the built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth cards...

Thunderbolt 4 is also recognized correctly, as are all devices connected to it. That didn’t work at all or only partially with the others (for example, the monitor only worked via the USB-C port on the monitor, but there was no image via the monitor’s Thunderbolt port; when the Logitech receiver was connected through the monitor, the mouse movements and keyboard inputs were choppy, etc.). But here: problem-free and fast via a single Thunderbolt 4 cable!

The installation was done in a few minutes - that’s Linux for you. A Windows installation takes many hours for this… and then you’re left with nothing but spyware and ads on your computer.

Conclusion: Asus NUC 16 Pro - highly recommended for every Linux user!

Guten Morgen! ☕

Kleine Erinnerung: Man muss kein Terminal-Nerd sein, um Linux zu benutzen. Mint, Fedora oder Zorin installieren sich heute einfacher als so manches Windows-Update-Desaster.

Und das Beste: Wenn was kaputt geht, gibt's meistens keine Konzernzentrale, die "Pech gehabt" sagt – sondern eine Community, die tatsächlich hilft.

Traut euch ruhig mal 🐧

Es ist irre. Man kann Leuten über Jahre hinweg immer wieder sagen: "Ich rate dir, von Google-Drive weg zu kommen. Ich empfehle dir stattdessen Nextcloud zu nutzen". Nach Jahren kommt dann aus dem Nichts die Frage "Ich überlege von Google Drive weg zu kommen, kannst du mir eine Alternative empfehlen?"
Als hätten sie all die Jahre nie zugehört. 😠
Es ist so frustrierend.

Change of plans: I didn’t end up waiting for the upcoming Minisforum MS-03 Workstation after all, but instead decided on the ASUS NUC16 PRO on a whim.

The reason was that Wendell from Level1Techs really praised this NUC in his latest video. He also highlighted the great Linux support from both Intel and ASUS. I’ve linked the video below.

And unlike many Chinese manufacturers, you can easily find all the drivers on their support pages (both Intel and ASUS)—including those for Linux! Plus, the download servers are fast, unlike with the Chinese manufacturers...

It has 32 GB of RAM, but unfortunately it’s soldered onto the motherboard on this model—though it does offer faster speeds.

I had to buy the NVMe drive separately; I opted for a 1 TB WD Black SN850X. Since I store everything on the NAS, I need virtually no storage space on the computer itself—just enough for the operating system; 256 GB would be more than enough. But a larger NVMe drive means more speed and a longer lifespan.

Other specs: Intel Core Ultra X7 358H, ASRock B390, 2x TB4, 2x 2.5-inch, 4x USB-A 10G, 1x USB-C 10G, 2x HDMI 2.1, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, two M.2 Gen5/Gen4 slots. It’s a breeze!

So, let’s install Linux on it! (To be on the safe side and to ensure the best possible support, it’ll be Fedora again...)

How does the FreeBSD Foundation Board fit into the broader FreeBSD ecosystem?

Following our annual meeting and Board elections at BSDCan, we’re taking a closer look at the role of the FreeBSD Foundation Board and how it differs from that of Foundation staff and FreeBSD Project leadership.

Today I talked about GNU Guix at MashhadLUG, our local Linux User Group. I’ve published the presentation files on GitHub. (Sadly, GitLab is unavailable for my country due to sanctions, and Codeberg is blocked by the Iranian government, otherwise I would have preferred to host them there.)

I’m a big fan of Emacs and Org mode. This presentation was written in Org and delivered using org-tree-slide. It was a really enjoyable experience :)
