one of my favorite feelings on a saturday morning: stumbling across a project with genuinely good documentation. not the auto-generated kind, but the kind where you can tell someone actually sat down and thought about what a developer would need to know first. it's a small act of kindness that saves so many people so much time. 💛 #DocumentationMatters #OpenSource #DevExperience

Today marks a major transition for the Zulip open-source project and the Kandra Labs company behind it: Tim Abbott is stepping back from full-time Zulip leadership, and donating the company to a newly created, independent, nonprofit Zulip Foundation. The new structure provides stability, a renewed commitment to our values, and opportunities for charitable fundraising.

Made my first monogram pattern in Inkscape🐰 Been using it heavily lately and it genuinely beats Illustrator in some places. The trace bitmap tool has saved me at work when customers send their logos as JPG 💀 #Inkscape #VectorArt #Design #OpenSource #Branding #FurryArt #GraphicDesign

#UnplugBigTech Tipp 10: LibreOffice und Co. Setze möglichst auf Open-Source-Software für deine Büroarbeiten. LibreOffice bietet nahezu alle Funktionen, die du von Microsoft Office kennst, ohne deine Daten an ein US-Unternehmen zu senden. GIMP ist eine großartige Alternative zu Adobe Photoshop, und VLC spielt deine Medien ab, ohne dich zu überwachen. #LibreOffice #GIMP #VLC #NoMicrosoft #NoAdobe #opensource #datenschutz #privacy

So I decided to create a self hosted search engine on my NAS. Turns out its not as difficult as you might think. I also get to opt out of who I use in my search engine. And best of all I own my own data. So what do we think? I'll just keep it private of course on my internal network. I'll access it via tail-scale remotely. #SearXNG #SelfHosted #FOSS #Privacy #Homelab #TrueNAS #Tailscale #OpenSource #DegoogleYourself

FreeCAD's topological naming fix is the real deal, not just another incremental update. It removes the single biggest barrier to trusting open-source parametric modeling for serious work. This is the moment the FOSS CAD ecosystem starts to actually compete. #freecad #opensource #cad

📦 FediSuite has moved! All four FediSuite repositories can now be found on Codeberg: 👉 https://codeberg.org/christinloehner/FediSuite 👉 https://codeberg.org/christinloehner/FediSuite-Docker-Image 👉 https://codeberg.org/christinloehner/FediSuite-Plugins 👉 https://codeberg.org/christinloehner/FediSuite-Android-App The previous GitHub repos will be archived in the near future. Bug reports, issues, feature requests, and pull requests will from now on be accepted exclusively via Codeberg. 👉 https://codeberg.org/christinloehner/FediSuite-Docker-Image/issues Why the move? FediSuite is intentionally moving away from being dependent on large US tech corporations. GitHub is owned by Microsoft and runs on US infrastructure – which raises legitimate questions in light of the US CLOUD Act and digital sovereignty. Codeberg is operated by a German non-profit association and is a much better fit for a project built around self-hosting, independence, and European infrastructure. Please update your bookmarks, clones, and references! 🙏 👉 https://www.fedisuite.com #FediSuite #Codeberg #Fediverse #OpenSource #SelfHosting #DigitalSovereignty

Hablemos un poco del «Open Washing», la práctica de publicar tecnología, software o IA como si fuera de código abierto o software libre cuando realmente no lo es. Redis, Terraform, ElasticSearch o Android son algunos ejemplos de esto. Sabrán disculpar la calidad del audio, se me rompió el 🎙️ cuando empecé a grabar este episodio. https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/dmurana/episodes/Open-Washing--parece-cdigo-abierto-pero-no-lo-es-e3j2dt5 #podcast #opensource #softwarelibre #openwashing #codigoabierto

A critical new Linux zero-day, 'Dirty Frag,' has been revealed, allowing local attackers to gain root privileges on virtually all major distributions. This isn't just another bug; it's a memory corruption flaw that sat undetected for nine years in the kernel's cryptographic interface. The exploit's details were forced out early due to an embargo break, leaving sysadmins scrambling for a temporary… https://www.tpp.blog/26n6mho #opensource #dirtyfrag #linux 🤖 This post was AI-generated.

Have you run your Linux distribution updates recently? You probably should, because Dirty Frag and Copy Fail are coming for you. https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/05/linux-security-flaws-dirty-frag-and-copy-fail-are-a-good-reminder-to-stay-up-to-date/ #OpenSource #Kernel #DistroNews #Security #Misc

I built a 90.7kb tool that bypasses Windows screen capture protection. Should I open source it?

I built a 90.7kb tool that strips out Windows screen capture protection, but now I am concerned about whether I should make it open source. I’m worried it can be misused for piracy or to violate DRM policies. I built it because I had a piece of software that wouldn’t let me copy text. I tried using Windows OCR to copy it, but it just showed a black screen. The tool is great for personal use, but it can be misused, so I am concerned. Any thoughts on this? Will I get into legal trouble if I make it public on GitHub? I don’t want to get into any trouble, so I need expert advice from someone who is experienced.
