💡 Today is a perfect day to exercise your independence from #BigTech, and #GiveUpGitHub.
☣️ #GitHub is the equivalent of #Twitter and #Facebook for software development -- creators of the most enticing proprietary walled garden ever made for #FOSS developers.
Don't be stuck when Microsoft decides to change the rules on you.

I came home last night and my home screen looked different. There were more recommendations and now a quick access row. I turned both of them off, but my home screen still looked different.
I'm not certain, but I think the home screen icon area got smaller, and the advertising area bigger.
Ugh. I need to replace roku with something #FOSS. We really need an easy solution. I mean, #syncthing-easy, not nextcloud-self-hosting-easy.

For nearly two decades, a handful of companies have shaped how we communicate online. They decide what we see, how we interact, and often how creators earn a living.
Today, a new generation of social networks is emerging. Built on open standards, community ownership, and user freedom, decentralized platforms offer a different vision of the internet.

Cześć! 👋 Przeprowadzka z mastodon.com.pl zakończona. Czas na nowe rozdanie i pełne wdrożenie na #infosec.exchange.
Dla tych, którzy widzą mnie po raz pierwszy: analizuję rzeczy głębiej, niż nakazuje zdrowy rozsądek. Interesuje mnie szeroko pojęte #cybersecurity z perspektywy praktyka.
W wolnym czasie bawię się w:
📱 Hardening i bezpieczeństwo mobile (mój bastion to GrapheneOS)
🌐 Zaawansowaną segmentację sieciową i kontrolę ruchu u źródła (#VPN / #DNS)
🐧 Ruch #FOSS, suwerenność cyfrową i dekonstrukcję modeli zaufania
Zawsze chętnie patrzę poza utarte schematy, stale szukając nowych horyzontów. Swoje analizy, testy i technologiczne śledztwa regularnie opisuję na blogu:
Dzięki za każde podbicie (boost) i do zobaczenia w dyskusjach! ☕

Hi everyone! 👋 My migration from mastodon.com.pl is complete. Time for a fresh start here on #infosec.exchange.
For those seeing my profile for the first time: I tend to analyze things deeper than common sense dictates. I'm deeply interested in #cybersecurity from a practical perspective.
In my free time, I focus on:
📱 Mobile security & hardening (GrapheneOS is my daily driver)
🌐 Advanced network segmentation & traffic control (#VPN / #DNS)
🐧 The #FOSS movement, digital sovereignty, and deconstructing trust models
I always strive to look beyond conventional frameworks, constantly seeking new horizons and expanding my knowledge in every area of security. I regularly write about my analyses, tests, and tech investigations on my blog:
Thanks for every boost, and looking forward to some great discussions! ☕

I am currently conversing in a forum thread about Linux Audio, and a couple of developers are saying that it is not worth it to develop for Linux. They are complaining that Linux users are only a tiny fragment of the population, and it is a waste of development time.
Is there developer here in the Fediverse that can give me some positive quotes of their experiences in Linux Audio development that I can give to balance the argument a bit?
As part of @silex leaving GitHub, I’m also looking for a new forge
Not just a libre one: an accessible one
We tested a few options, and sadly accessibility in free software is not automatic
A forge is where contributors spend a lot of time. If it’s not usable by everyone, it’s not good enough
Recommendations welcome
@manland @menelion @silex @WeirdWriter @Codeberg @forgejo @crew @ow2 @forge
Update on our new forge hunt 🙏
Good news on pub.solar (@crew): as far as I can tell, it runs Forgejo behind Keycloak, so no CAPTCHA for signup like on Codeberg
@menelion @WeirdWriter (and anyone!), two asks:
1. Would you double-check whether git.pub.solar's login + UI feel accessible to you?
2. Would some of you be up to help maintain + moderate a self-hosted, accessibility-first forge?
I see some try to claim that the use of LLMs for software development is "bad for FOSS".
I don't see it. Here's some input from Torvalds:
"The [Linux kernel] project maintainers saw a surge in pull requests ahead of the 7.1 release, resulting in more commits during preparation than in any previous release. However, it became apparent that the surge in pull requests was due to AI use rather than increased interest in the new release, as Torvalds initially thought.
Still, as he noted, contributing to the kernel is a good thing with AI, and that very difficult process has been largely supported and, in many cases, augmented with AI tools. As he noted, there was a roughly 20% increase in submissions overall with the current Linux kernel release."

Hmm, über die Erreichbarkeit von GitHub wird gern gescherzt, aber um ehrlich zu sein: Codeberg ist in den letzten Monaten auch nicht wirklich in Form.
So sehr ich Codeberg mag für das was sie tun: Würde mir wünschen, das würde besser.
Nicht so sehr, weil Leben davon abhingen - eher, damit man ein Argument mehr gegen GitHub hat ;)

I always used Xfce or cobbled together some *box setup because I had underspec'd hardware. Recently, I tried Fedora with Gnome on an old Ideapad and was seriously impressed with the performance. I last used Gnome maybe 15 years ago and it would grind my machine to a halt. Also, the whole Gnome environment feels very polished. (I've been a Mac user for ~20 years.) #Linux #FOSS
Linux on Older Hardware: The Complete Revival Guide (2026)

Revive your old PC with Linux in 2026. I tested lightweight distros, zram tuning, SSD upgrades, and browser optimization on a 2014 ThinkPad to show you exactly what works.
I’m speaking at FOSSY 2026 in Vancouver! I’ll be presenting on the recent PHP license update.
This is @conservancy’s 4th year doing the conference and my first time attending; I’m pretty excited about it.
New song day.
One line from this one stayed with me while finishing it:
"So ignore the haters, let the whispers stay
in the noise of a radio far away."
How loud someone objects has never said much about whether they're right. So… ignore the haters 😉

Switched to FOSS, Linux, and decentralized social media (Mastodon, Lemmy, PeerTube) a few months ago and honestly? it's been life-changing.
no more doom-scrolling Instagram or Facebook. no more anxiety about missing out. no more comparing myself to people's highlight reels. the constant itch to check Snapchat? gone.
using tools that respect my privacy and attention—instead of mining them—has made me feel genuinely awake again. less envy, less FOMO, less addiction pulling at my brain.
turns out when you're not being algorithmically manipulated, you actually feel better. who knew? 🙃

Don’t use #Meta products anymore, but I have in the past. Today, I got an email from the company, and this was the first sentence: “The setting to disconnect your off-Meta activity is going away.” Because…of course it is. This continued #enshittification of the #internet in general and social media specifically is predatory corporate BS - and #TechBros are making it harder and harder to opt out - without taking drastic steps. #SurveillanceCapitalism is predicated on collecting our data to use against us in the marketplace, and lately…to use against us in the political arena as well. It didn’t have to be this way. Thank goodness for the #fediverse, for #FOSS and for those hardy souls who continue to resist #CorporateGreed and #CorporateTerrorism.

Since evaluating possible #Mattermost replacements and settling (more or less) on @nextcloud Talk, I realised there basically isn't any #webhook support in the way you usually think of it (create a hook, copy the secret URL, push messages to it). So I made this:

You just download the script to a 'webhooks' directory in your #Nextcloud deployment, change a few lines and copy the provided #NGINX config to your vhost.

Dear @fdroidorg,
The “AI” taint on F-Droid is starting to get absurd.
Today I found LeanType, a “Privacy-focused keyboard with AI enchantments”, which was for me an immediate contradiction.

I just now replaced #OrganicMaps with #CoMaps
I exported all the bookmark-lists as .kmz files and opened each one of them with CoMaps. No issues, all the bookmarks are there. Then I enabled automatic backups, weekly, keeping 3 versions 👌🏽
This was very smooth 😄
Any lightweight app where I can download maps from open street maps, put markers for myself (basically bookmarks) AND automatically back them up or sync them to some place remote?
#OrganicMaps only allows manual backups it seems 🤔
"Free" in English is almost a double entendre when it comes to software. While we know what F in #FOSS means, we need to reach users out there who don't. #FLOSS was created so the focus is moved from monetary value back to "freedom".
Software is not created in a void, it takes contributor time and attention to be able to maintain, update and improve it.
The #OTF grant allowed #FDroid to explore how to get sustainable funding and report our findings to all.
