📣 More Dutch companies are making their Android apps inaccessible on alternative mobile devices, by using the strictest Google Play Integrity API settings. 📣
After Funda and Rabobank, now a public collective for emergency controlrooms has made their app inactive on open source OS's. Caught by @rikviergever from @murena .
We can't keep being dependent on two US big tech companies. If we want more digital sovereignty, we'll need to invest in mobile alternatives.

Some time ago, I started looking for a Braille display to help implement Braille display support in #FreeBSD
Update: I managed to get a used one from the United States, and it should arrive by the end of the month.
If your country has websites that sell used items, I'd really appreciate it if you could keep an eye out for affordable Braille displays and let me know if you find any. Thank you!

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.

Was ist digitale Souveränität?
Digitale Souveränität bedeutet nicht, alles zu besitzen, sondern sicherzustellen, dass nichts Wesentliches weggenommen werden kann.
Diese Aussage klärt mehr Streitigkeiten, als man zunächst vermuten würde, denn sie widerlegt die beiden vorherrschenden Positionen in der Debatte. Die eine Seite versteht Souveränität als Kontrolle, die andere als Wahlfreiheit. Beides sind leere Worte.

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
https://linuxnews.de/vaultwarden-1-37-0-sicherheitsupdate-fuer-den-passwort-server/ #vaultwarden #security #opensource #linuxnews
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 🐧
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...)
