schmonz.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Today, I sent a bit of financial support to an Open Source project that I have a huge amount of respect for (and bought a cool t-shirt, too!). I'm not able to afford much, but I want to show the project in some way how much I appreciate all that they do. If you are able to support a project like this, please do! And of course, not all support has to be financial. Most of the people who work on software that we use every single day do it for free and in their own time.

#Google hammers another, extremely petty nail in the #Android #OpenSource Project’s coffin

«Google is clearly trying to kill whatever’s left of the Android Open Source Project’s rotting corpse, only barely technically complying with any license requirements only because they’re obligated to.»
@thomholwerda almost all Linux desktops appear to be slop-infested as per their own policy,, including KDE, GNOME, LxQt, XFCE, and more.
River is the only desktop project I've found so far that bans AI: https://codeberg.org/river/river#strict-no-llm-no-ai-policy But that one also needs a WM, where the only one alike a regular desktop is perhaps this one: https://gitlab.gwdg.de/leonhenrik.plickat/tarazed But doesn't even have a basic task bar, from what I can tell.
TL;DR: it's looking grim in beginner-friendly desktop land when it comes to LLM use.

Wer seinen eigenen Mailserver betreibt, kennt das Problem
Ich betreibe neben vielen privaten Domains auch meinen eigenen Mailserver, da hängt viel an einer sauber konfigurierten Domain: DNS-Einträge exakt, TLS sauber, SSH gehärtet. Wer das prüfen will, trifft auf ein Dutzend Scanner, die fast alle dasselbe tun: sich einen einzigen Ausschnitt anschauen und ab einem gewissen Punkt ein Konto oder eine Kreditkarte verlangen. Deshalb gibt es jetzt Secure Your Server: acht Kategorien von DNS bis PGP in einem einzigen Scan, dazu ein echter Mail-Zustellungstest, für immer kostenlos, ohne Konto, ohne Tracking. Teste deine eigene Domain, bevor es jemand mit weniger guten Absichten tut.

#GSOC2026: Port the Enlightenment desktop environment to NetBSD
「 Enlightenment desktop is a low on resources desktop environment without sacrificing on visuals. NetBSD support for this BSD-licensed desktop has been left a few years behind. The aim of this project is to port the newest version of the desktop to pkgsrc and commit upstream portability fixes when necessary to ease future versions updates for NetBSD 」
