Your decision to use Free/Open Source software doesn’t give you any moral superiority over others who make different choices. Conversely, you have no right to feel attacked when circumstances require you to use closed software. The real world is not for idealolgical hardliners
Hi! In case you missed, my #FOSDEM talk about creating a #rootless #container manager from scratch is available! We'll talk about the basic principles to build your own container manager, using #lilipod as an example: fosdem.org/2025/schedule/… #opensource #linux #distrobox
The whole “Rust in the Linux kernel” drama should be a lesson to all in Open Source The technology doesn’t matter Working with other people does Doesn’t matter if Rust is a gift from God, God doesn’t control what gets in the Kernel, maintainers do Technical arguments are moot
And there are chefs who don’t use Hamburger Helper

I’m not a fan of VLC. It’s got: - huge attack surface (anyone remember the arbitrary code execution from a malformed subtitle?) - bad tone mapping - bad subtitle rendering - high resource usage It's 2025. Use a MPV derivative, or madVR if you want to go wild.
And for the ones using #Distrobox on #Aeondesktop or #Bluefin (or anywhere else), here's a small new year gift: github.com/nunix/config/b… @LucaDiMaio11 @sysrich assemble 😇 The appsvenger Corsair 🏴☠️

Don't Fear the Reboot
"That's the deal. That's open source. I give you a gift of code, you accept the terms of the license. There cannot be a second set of shadow obligations that might suddenly apply, if you strike it rich using the software. Then the license is meaningless." world.hey.com/dhh/automattic…
bcachefs is quickly becoming a case study proving that in FOSS, technical ability can often be secondary to social ability Work well with others or else your code might as well not exist
Bcachefs Fixes Pull Once Again Frustrates Linus Torvalds - Two Choices Offered One option Torvalds is considering is to simply remove Bcachefs from the mainline Linux kernel. phoronix.com/news/Bcachefs-…
Just to add some additional clarity to the whole WordPress situation: Matt has publicly stated that WP Engine either had to give 8% of their revenue (which would be tens of millions of dollars per year) to his for profit corporation that’s raised nearly $1 billion dollars in…
So what’s the acceptable way of referring to that CMS which is on a rampage burning its own ecosystem? Voldapress? Wordmort? #WPEngine #wp
I've been using #WordPress for a really long time. Since about 2004 I think. Never have I seriously thought about moving to a different CMS...until today and this BS with blocking WP Engine sites. Matt is an existential threat to WordPress and the community.
What’s everyone’s recommendations for alternatives to Wordpress considering @photomatt seems determined to burn that entire ecosystem down?
Have your tried @AeonDesktop and feel like you're living in the future? 🚀 aeondesktop.org
Please don't buy into the "you never need to reboot Linux" meme, if you actually care about security, apply regular updates and reboot your system. Especially for a publicly facing server, every single system accessible with a public IP is constantly being attacked
When your #openSUSE Leap server runs more than 500 days without a reboot. 🛠️💚 How long has your #Linux system been going without a #reboot? get.opensuse.org/leap/
I recently raised concerns about possible data protection violations by an org that aspires to be a UK registered charity supporting FOSS Projects The response was that I should get involved and help them fix it Wouldnt that make me potentially liable for any future violations?
Yeah, this is where people go wrong in OSS. They assume people are acting altruistically and should give freely of their time and resources. When in fact most people are more selfishly doing what interests them for their purpose and then sharing it, often to further their purpose…
And what that is basically assuming you can fork and beat the community. Assuming you will build a new community. Assuming you have the resources to reinvent the wheel. @rawkode
