I start my holiday, during which I intend to do less computer-touching, but doing some holiday-related computer-touching with my mailserver.

✨ New blog post: “📱 FOSS Android Essentials: A Whole‑Phone Guide”
I got tired of random updates breaking my layout — so I rebuilt my phone setup from the ground up with FOSS tools I actually trust. All open, all mine. 💜
Take back control, one app at a time?

We have a choice to make: How we compute matters
I accepted Apple’s behavior for far too long. And then, one day, I said nope. Nope. Nope. NOPE. On some level, at some point I began to care about how they, a profit seeking company, were treating me as a human being. I simply had to stop pretending that it was okay for them to treat me in such a way. And that it was in my best interest to stop cooperating. We do not...
Beloved FOSS Community ❤️
You are simply the best!
We're only halfway through the year, and you have already registered 162 (!) events which is more than the total for last year (131).
The trust you put in our platform is priceless and keeps us motivated every day.
This platform is for you and it is only with your help that we can altogether maintain and update this collective, central resource for #FOSS fans in #Europe, fostering unity within and between our communities 🌻
Today, @richardfontana & I restarted, relaunched, & revitalized copyleft-next.
All versions & variants of #GPL are great licenses. But, today, #GPLv3 turned 18 years old & #GPLv2 turned 34 years old.
At least once in a generation, #FOSS needs a new approach to strong #copyleft.
These posts have details: https://lists.copyleft.org/pipermail/next/2025q2/000000.html & https://fedi.copyleft.org/@next/114769761806288554
I ask you to follow @next & check out our website at https://next.copyleft.org/.
FYI: I'll migrate this account to @bkuhn@copyleft.org later this week.

✨ New blog post: “Back to the Old Internet: A Personal Reboot”
Switching to Linux. Self-hosting. Fossifying my phone.
I thought the old internet was gone — turns out, it just needed a reboot.

Oh, wow! The German IT Planning Council decided yesterday to consolidate a bunch of disparate communication tools into a unified system based on Matrix and MLS.
Here's the record of their decision and the other options they considered: https://gitlab.opencode.de/it-planungsrat/fit-ab/zapuk/-/blob/main/Zielarchitektur/Architekturentscheidungen/ADR-0011-Kommunikationsschicht.md
Hello, Fediverse. I'm looking for embedded experts to help save #LEGO MINDSTORMS!
Background: https://pybricks.com/project/saving-lego-mindstorms/
I've made major progress, but I'd love to get some help! If writing an SPI flash driver or USB device implementation is your thing, I would love to hear from you 😀
I'll gladly donate an EV3 set for this. We can do this as a paid project too if that's a better fit. Let's discuss!

EDIT: Thanks all!! I'm passing along your suggestions.
Anyone know an open-source project, even a small one, that needs API docs created or improved? Asking for a #technicalWriting pro who wants more experience with API documentation. #FOSS #techcomm (bonus points if it hits interests like politics, food, beer, auto racing, mapping/OSM, civil engineering, social good...)
More self-hosting work this weekend:
I have seven open source projects currently hosted on GitHub; eventually I'll move them off, but that will take some effort. However, all of them have CI workflows which produce OCI (container) images which are used to run linters and tests (so that those operations will run more quickly and repeatably), and I'd been hosting those images on quay.io.
This weekend I reconfigured those processes to publish and consume images hosted on my Forgejo server (using its 'Packages' feature), and deleted my account on quay.io. I have a Fastly Delivery (CDN) service in front of Forgejo, so I had to do some learning about how to make that work, which I'll get published in a blog post Real Soon Now.
Images are now live at https://forge.km6g.us/km6g/-/packages, and while I haven't done a scientific experiment, it appears that the Actions jobs which use these images actually start faster than when the images were on quay.io.
Just going to nonchalantly shove in some awareness to my GitHub Sponsorship.
If you value my contributions to Open Source and Laravel, just leave a small tip or become a sponsor. It helps me pay the bills.

I'm attending the @EUCommission's #NGIForum25 in Brussels today and am super happy to finally see essential #FOSS digital service providers being better represented in the policy debates, e.g. with speakers from @Mastodon, @xwiki and @Taler@fosstodon.org-related projects. 🎉
You know a book O'Reilly needs to publish? "Writting Readable Terms of service" a lot of #foss projects could benefit from that
Exciting day for the #Fediverse! This morning at #UN #OpenSource Week, @haubles announced that @Mastodon has been named as a Digital Public Good for its work to empower communities, protect privacy, and foster authentic connections.

Remember that blogpost about our fully #FOSS adventure that I promised to write years ago? Welp, better late than never! 😂
"Building a fully FOSS environment – then and now." Basically everything I chose 7 years ago for a medium sized non-profit and what I would choose in 2025.
I have just recently learnt that Mozilla is going to deprecate and then shut down Pocket! This sucks.
I personally moved from Pocket to Wallabag last year for other reasons. It's working out great, and I wrote a Python script for the migration.
I meant to "make it good" and release it, but I've been busy and I haven't had the time to fix it.
Do people want it? It exports JSON and the imports to Wallabag. It's just a little manual on very large/old archives.

Hvis du er i København den 16. juni, er der filmpremiere og bogreception for fortællingen om Ada & Zangemann i Empire-biografen kl. 15:30!

wallabag is now available on @fsf website
I just stumbled upon https://www.gofoss.today
It's really well done and a good starting point for anyone interested in taking their online #privacy more seriously. Also, I love the domain! #foss
I just learned that #Codeberg only receives 350€ per week in donations at the moment. If you like #FOSS and/or you use Codeberg.org, consider donating. Its not GitHub backed by Microsoft, its a non-profit dedicated to providing great service for developers.
#EndOf10 "The Open Source alternative to forced obsolescence"
https://opensource.org/blog/end-of-10-the-open-source-alternative-to-forced-obsolescence
> Open Source isn’t just about code. It’s about community, sustainability, and autonomy. The “End of 10” campaign is a chance to show the world how powerful those values can be.
> We invite everyone—users, developers, educators, and advocates—to be part of this movement. Because the end of Windows 10 isn’t the end of the road. It’s a new beginning.
