Last post for today because I got #EasterEggs in the wild just screaming at me to be found.
I don't know much about #Linux, but on #CDNdid it's appropriate to highlight a Canadian version with a great Canadian name - Maple Linux. Sweet...

It's the 1st Sunday of the month and so we celebrate #DigitalIndependanc3 Day in Canada. What have you done this past month to secure your personal data? Did you exit X or flee Facebook? Did you #DeGoogle or switch to an #OpenSource software alternative?
Tell us what you accomplished and encourage others to take action. Start small and regain control over your data a little bit at a time.

Okay, I just ran into a similar issue which re-prioritized it higher for me to implement... But hey, here it is! You can now also use ACME with any other ACME compatible CAs rather than just Let's Encrypt. In this example, you can see it with my own Certificate Authority (CA) "gyptazy open-source solutions", which is operated by StepCA.

I'm really happy to see how PegaProx becomes better and better every day... Over Easter, several new cool features took place!

Bei der Rechtsauffassung zur AGPL von OnlyOffice verstehe ich jetzt jedenfalls in Ansätzen, warum man eine Zusammenarbeit mit denen schwierig finden könnte.

For real, many people asked me for their smaller and mid-sized environments, how to handle remote syslog of their nodes. I had some ideas (some of you may have already found my Rust interpretation of this) but I think having this included in #PegaProx as a centralized management interface makes more sense.

So, PegaProx comes with an own syslog server (ipv4/ipv6, udp/tcp, encrypted/unencrypted support) and is wired to the interface within the resources tab. Providing a quick overview of all your logs and filter options. The next thing is wiring it to the notification system of PegaProx, allowing automated alerting. Might be nice to quickly identify when the quorum got lost - all built-in into PegaProx!

New Podcast: FreeBSD with John Baldwin

In this episode of Software Engineering Daily, FreeBSD developer and contributor John Baldwin joins Gregor Vand to explore the origins of FreeBSD, how its governance model differs from other open-source projects, its role inside systems like Netflix’s CDN and PlayStation 4, and the challenges of maintaining a 30-year-old codebase.

Improving documentation in #OpenSource projects opens doors for new contributors and strengthens the communities working on those technologies. There are still a few days to apply for the 2026 #SovereignTechFellowship documentation sprint. Up to six technical writers can apply to make short-term, focused contributions to critical open digital infrastructure.

🎗️ Apply by Monday, April 6, 2026, to make knowledge more accessible in #FOSS!

Good #documentation is key for sustainable #opensource projects. It helps create clarity, empowers new contributors, and makes knowledge accessible.

As part of the #SovereignTechFellowship, we’re hosting a documentation sprint: up to six additional spots for technical writers to work short-term on critical open digital infrastructure in 2026. Apply by April 6, 2026. Find out more about the docs sprint:

Are licenses part of a "used future"? I'm not sure, but I really don't think that intellectual property gymnastics can save the internet a second time.

Okay, folks, gather 'round, because you are not going to believe this one. My friend who is working at NASA told me this confidential news , but i can finally spill the beans: NASA is officially running NetBSD.

Yeah, you heard that right. Turns out, when you need an OS that can literally run on a potato *and* survive the vacuum of space without a hiccup, you do not mess around. They have been working under wraps with their deep space division on something they are calling "AstroBSD."

Apparently, the Perseverance rover on Mars? Yeah, it is not just taking pretty pictures; it is crunching data with a custom NetBSD kernel.

This just proves what foundation has been saying forever: "Of course it runs NetBSD!" From your ancient router to a rover on another planet.

Triggering a break clause with Palantir's NHS contract shows we can ditch Big Tech.

But when they go, they take the systems with them. That's what you get by contracting suppliers who exclusively own the product.

The UK government must back interoperable open source software, so we can switch suppliers without changing systems.

This week I had a chat with Michael Winser about securing open source at scale

We recorded prior to the events of the last few weeks, everything Michael talks about with securing our infrastructure is spot on

We touch on package repositories, Alpha Omega, foundations, and more. Michael is doing some really interesting work

The feedback was honestly amazing. Many were impressed by how PegaProx brings essential enterprise grade features to Proxmox clusters that are still missing today. We can clearly see the gaps that were fixed by #ProxLB, #ProxSnap, #ProxCLMC, #ProxPatch and many other ones! Keep in mind, PegaProx is free and fully #opensource!

That said, we know there's always room for improvement. Whether it is major enhancements or small quality of life tweaks, every detail matters. Over the weekend, I took your feedback from the calls seriously and integrated a number of improvements to make PegaProx even more intuitive and powerful.

Your input drives this project forward. If you feel something is missing or could be improved, let us know!

PS: Pegaprox also support #XCP (#XCPng) ans corss-cluster / cross-hypervisor migrations. So, you can quickly jump over to XCP 🙂

PegaProx Web-Frontend as a multi-cluster Proxmox manager with Enterprise features

Euro-Office is a new open-source project with the objective of building an online office suite that can open & edit Microsoft Office documents (DOCX, PPTX, XLSX) & OpenDocument formats (ODS, ODT, ODP) used by LibreOffice & OpenOffice.
There's some doubt cast in the article about cooperation between Euro-Office & LibreOffice which hopefully is untrue or disappears. Every solution needs to work together to displace Microsoft.
