fedi.caserio.de is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
It’s the ten year old computer challenge! Can we daily drive a desktop or laptop from 2016? There’s only one way to find out!
The EU Cyber Resilience Act is bringing new requirements for software, and open source developers, organizations, and businesses need to be ready.

There is something deeply satisfying about true data sovereignty.
No rate limits, no third-party APIs snooping on prompts, and zero cloud lock-in. Just raw self-hosted inference pulling 154 tok/s with an absurd 0.11s TTFT on local silicon.
Running Qwen with reasoning enabled, NVFP4 quantization on Blackwell, and SGLang speculative decoding. Crisp, private, and blazingly fast.
The future of AI belongs on your own hardware.

Last week, Jim Huang Chen wrapped up his internship with the FreeBSD Foundation!
We’re grateful for Jim’s contributions and the curiosity and persistence he brought to his work throughout the summer.
Read our intern spotlight to learn more about Jim’s projects, his experience with the FreeBSD community, and his advice for students interested in contributing to open source:

The first version of my #musicassiatant Remote for my son is working successfully.
I have planned some software improvements, such as faster artwork rendering and a settings menu. After these improvements, I will make the model and code #opensource.
Of course, I have to buy more Audio CDs for my son. 😉

Neue Oberfläche für die Nextcloud:
"Nextcloud Native" ist ein noch junges Projekt, das ich gerade mit meiner "Sorglos Nextcloud" ausprobiert habe. Macht schon jetzt einen sehr guten Eindruck!
Zwei Konzerne entscheiden, welche App auf meinem Telefon läuft. Alternatives Android? Verweigert manche App den Dienst, obwohl deren Hardware-Attestierung strenger prüft als Googles Play Integrity. Begründung trotzdem: Datenschutz. Ein Monopol im Sicherheitskostüm.

Einladung zum NExT Community-Treffen #OpenSource: Wie können wir an Open Source zusammenarbeiten?
Am 25. August tauschen wir uns in einem offenen NExT-Netzwerk-Treffen zur erfolgreichen behördenübergreifenden Zusammenarbeit an Open-Source-Lösungen aus: Wir sammeln Themen und Fragen zu Ausschreibungen, zur gemeinsamen Entwicklung, zur Finanzierung oder Nachnutzung und diskutieren Lösungsansätze in Break-out Sessions.

Hi Mastodon! 👋 As a developer of Parch Linux (https://parchlinux.com), I need some advice. Does anyone know how DistroWatch tracks updates, or how to properly reach out to Linux news sites? It's FOSS reviewed us once, but we’ve made massive changes since: new custom tools, a rewritten installer UI, and more!
Tomorrow marks our 5th anniversary! 🎉 But despite publishing our updates, we're facing total radio silence. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but after 5 years, it honestly feels like a media boycott simply because of our project's origin (Iran). I didn't choose my nationality, and despite heavy restrictions, our team has built something we're proud of.
We even have Server and Mobile editions in active development, yet the mobile efforts seem ignored even here among FOSS enthusiasts.
How can we break this silence? Any advice is appreciated! 🐧❤️

Guest hosts @GreenSysAdmin from Linux After Dark and @SNThrailkill from Hybrid Cloud Show tell Joe and Félim about bootc desktop Linux distros, how they build, deploy, and update them, and why this modern approach is so powerful. Plus another system information tool, cutting edge upscaling on the Steam Deck, and why Chris has switched to the KDE Plasma desktop.
Did you know that we have a podcast about developing software for and with Linux where professional developers talk about various aspects of the craft? Did you know that we don't talk about using generative AI, and instead talking about writing code the human way?
Check it out at https://linuxdevtime.com/
Or search for Linux Dev Time wherever you get your podcasts.
It’s a forced positivity episode! We all come up with some positive things to say about Linux and open source.
