New video about Hister!

Better Stack explores how Hister fixes browser history with full text search, advanced queries, terminal access, history imports, and MCP integration for AI agents.

The Economist schreibt, dass es wenige echte Alternativen zu Big Tech gibt. Als besonders schmerzhaftes Beispiel werden die fehlenden KI-Funktionen in LibreOffice herausgestellt:

LibreOffice, the open-source productivity-software package for which many governments are opting, lacks the AI features offered by Microsoft—a weakness that will only become more pronounced as the technology advances.

Wenn das die größte Schwäche ist, die dem Economist einfällt, dann sind wir weiter als ich dachte.

GrapheneOS: Google replaced pushing Git tags for certain source code with obtaining source code via Google Drive after making a request through Google Forms. It's completely ridiculous and they've gradually become very slow at handling requests. They're in clear violation of the GPLv2 now.

Opt Green has ended. Long live Opt Green!

As May came to an end, so did KDE Eco's "Opt Green" project. Two activities of the project will help it live on for years to come.

New on the blog. At Cables of Resistance, I ran a workshop asking if we can build hardware without capitalism. I was grieving what AI is doing to open source. Technologists need to see there's no innocent ground under the machine. It was always someone's land.

Today, youtuber dzuma made a video about my age verification bypass browser extension.

And since then, I've got a nonstop influx of people downloading the add-on, and it became the mosr starred one on my GitHub in just a matter of hours!

So, thanks a lot!! Glad I'm not the only one who's annoyed by this!

Am I reading things correctly that the #Blender Foundation Board's four members are all insiders/employees?

My experience is with US nonprofits, but that lack of external viewpoints in governance seems like a recipe for Bad Decisions ™ strategically.

Hey if anyone is interested we setup instances for Mastodon, Pixelfed, Friendica, Peertube, Nextcloud and more, See - https://webape.site/

We do so for a cost so we can afford to also make the many trade-free services and projects we have. See https://tromsite.com/

If you are interested or may want to help, you can also share this. We setup a separate VPS for each instance and provide updates, support, or custom requests as much as we can, for each instance. Plus an email server for each of them.

Au sujet de l'IA, on a quand même une IA qui a ouvert une PR sur matlibplot. Sa PR a été fermée directement, car cette comu n'accepte pas les PR venant d'IA.
Donc l'IA a publié sur son blog un billet à charge contre le mainteneur du projet qui a fermé la PR. Et a fini par s'excuser, et supprimer le billet à charge.

Et maintenant, l'IA a un billet sur son blog pour exposer la discrimination anti-IA dans l'opensource

You may have heard that #mozilla introduced an #AI kill switch into #Firefox.

If you would rather use a browser that is less interested in #LLM technologies, @Waterfox has been your companion for over a decade.

I had a chance to ask the founder and developer some questions about Waterfox's history, operations, and their take on AI.

Enjoy and and share!

Fifteen Years of Waterfox: Alex Kontos on Independence, AI, and the Future of Browsers

TL;DR: As Mozilla moves to make Firefox an AI browser, people are looking at other options. Some people are rediscovering Waterfox, a browser that has been around for a decade from independent developer BrowserWorks.

To everyone working in a #foss or #opensource foundation. Your ideology flamd advocacy for Libre/Free/OpenSource is great. It is also totally separated from the problems and advocacy maintainers needs.

In the same way that the local band that play music in your local pub as hobbyists have very specific needs and doesn't care that much about piracy. They just need to be able to play.

As maintainers, we do not need subsidies to compete with commercial software, help to become commercial. And we don't care a lot about making everything FOSS. We care about being able to do the job society needs us to do.

Think about that a bit.

Great review of TROMjaro from ZDnet - https://www.zdnet.com/article/tromjaro-is-what-happens-when-a-group-of-developers-with-a-big-conscience-create-an-os/

Amongst AI written, ad driven content nowadays, it is nice to see some genuine reviews. Super happy with the fact that the author also talks about the trade-free idea a bit and even mentions VideoNeat.

I found a Linux distro that pairs a clean, Mac-like UI with a 'trade-free' philosophy - and it's super fast

This Linux distribution can compete with any lightweight OS on the market.

A team of researchers from the Ecole Polytechnique Federale of Lausanne (Switzerland) proved that data centers are a scam.

With their software, an IA the size of ChatGPT can work with just a local network of FOUR computers (total price €9,600 / $11,280).

No need for the cloud.
No need for data centers wasting water and money.

Thank you to those who are helping TROM monthly! Our first goal is to reach 100 monthly donors to kickstart a new video series for TROM, bring back TROMnews and provide 20GB storage space for our Nextcloud install (TROM Files) for everyone.

We have a lot of projects and hundreds, if not thousands of people are using our services.

Everything we do is trade-free. No bullshit.

We need 17 more donors to reach our first goal. If you can help please see https://www.tromsite.com/donate/

Again thank you to everyone who has supported this project for so many years now!

TROMjaro 2025.06.24 (manual fix needed)

The usual updates PLUS a fix. Here is the problem: As you may know we struggle a lot to make all apps (GTK or QT, flatpaks or not) look the same on TROMjaro. To basically use the same theme.

We're looking for a creative web developer who is all in on #OpenSource!

We plan to build a website using an open source static site generator (your choice, as long as it sings), and need a #freelancer to help us bring our new brand identity and content to life across every screen.

Clean code, fast load times, beautiful design — that’s the goal.

Interested? Reach out for the details. Sharing is caring. 💚

Everything is read for @BSidesLuxembourg ! @syn2cat + @fsfe + @Endof10 makes one hell of a stand/booth/hacker space village!

Looking forward to engaging with the community on many topics including but not limited to:
> Open Source Software/Hardware #OpenSource
> #EndOf10 Campaign
> #FSFE
> Our hacker space in Luxembourg
> Other topics!

Make sure to pass by!!!

Something that’s been bothering me for years in the security world: why do researchers demand bug bounties for vulnerabilities in open source projects, when the very contributors maintaining and fixing those issues get nothing, just goodwill?

It feels deeply unfair. The burden falls on unpaid maintainers, yet bounty hunters get rewarded. If you want a paid bounty, maybe help fund the people who actually fix the mess too.

The End (of Windows 10) is nigh!

On 14 October, #Microsoft will end support for #Win10.

This will turn hundreds of millions of computers that cannot upgrade to #Win11 into security risks and #eWaste.

Yours may be one of them!

But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?
