New #jellyfin is out and I continue to not "appreciate" their acceptance of #llm #genai contributions: https://jellyfin.org/posts/state-of-the-fin-2026-05-24/

I'm guessing there aren't any other decent #opensource alternatives, but if there are, please reply!

Alt...

The Jellyfin Team is made up of a lot of different people, and everyone has different levels of acceptance of/interest in code that an AI agent has contributed to. This policy has been made to try and help find a path that everyone can at least appreciate, even if they don't fully agree.

Wir haben noch Platz für ein paar Open-Source-Projekte, daher bewerbt euch gerne. Dies ist eine sehr gute Möglichkeit, dieses Projekt der Open-Source-Community vorzustellen.

Happy #BrothersDay from the sibling who runs on absolutely everything (yes, even the family toaster)! 🚩🍞

Taking a moment to send some love to my Unix-like family today:

To FreeBSD 😈: Thanks for always bringing the heavy-lifting and server muscle. Nobody I’d rather share a kernel subsystem or network stack with! 💪

To OpenBSD 🐡: My brilliantly paranoid sibling. Don't worry, I double-checked the locks, audited the code, and closed the blinds before posting this. Stay secure! 🔒

And a special shoutout to our loud, monolithic cousin, Linux 🐧! You might be everywhere these days, but we still love having you at the FOSS family barbecue. Just leave some market share for the rest of us, okay? 🍔

Here’s to the entire open-source community. No matter what kernel you're running, we're all pushing the ecosystem forward together! 🧡

The requirements are pretty low:

• NO IPv4
• min. IPv6 /48 subnet routed
• Network (ARIN/RIPE/…) should be personalized (netname, abuse,..)
• Optionally: BYOIP
• ARPA delegation for the net to my nameservers
• min. 2x 500G disk space (SATA SSD or better)
• min. 48G memory per node
• bandwidth doesn’t really matter (100Mbit is fine)
• Remote MGMT to systems

Happy Weekend! In a few hours, Open Source Conference 2026 Japan in #Nagoya will be held at the Fukiage Hall in Chikusa Ward:

https://event.ospn.jp/osc2026-nagoya/

One of their talks is from the Nagoya #BSD Users Group, and seems to target #NetBSD in particular. That sounds pretty awesome, and definitely one of the ones I'm going to attend.

I wonder what the chances are I'll find anyone from Fedi in there? Anyone feeling like dropping by "boring city" on a Saturday? :P

Sardet back too: we all talk about #interoperability but no users are changing and everyone just procures from hyperscalers. ABSOLUTELY! https://joanna-bryson.blogspot.com/2021/05/neither-interoperability-nor-data.html no one believed me, I guess I should send that to him :-) #DMA

Happy International Day for Biological Diversity! 🌱

A diverse ecosystem is a strong ecosystem. In the tech world, NetBSD brings vital diversity by proving that clean, portable, and secure code can run on virtually any architecture. This adaptability keeps computing open and accessible to everyone.

Let's keep the digital ecosystem diverse. Consider supporting the NetBSD Foundation today by contributing code, writing documentation, or making a donation! 💻🚩

#Disturbing that Bambu behaved this way. They're ≈37% of #3Dprinting market. My discussions w/ experts indicate that Bambu leapfrogged *precisely* b/c they violate #AGPLv3.
#baltobu initiative is a sprint right now, but in the next few weeks, it'll become a marathon. It will take us time, but we will liberate the users' right to repair that #Bambu took away.

Have you used an LLM to scan for vulnerabilities in an Open Source codebase?

Yesterday, I published an article on some of the rights that you can exercise in software freedom *even if* your upstream has violated the #copyleft license. While their violation *will* limit your options, ∃ many useful activities that you still have rights to pursue.

While recent events inspired this, other situations are similar.

IANAL & TINLA.

With the recent news about Bambu Studio's AGPL violations, this advice on how to handle a protracted period of “incomplete-ccs” from a vendor is very much needed.

The UK Government, for all its faults, is pretty good at publishing contracts it has awarded. That's why I get depressed when I see rage-bait nonsense about how companies have been award "Top Secret" deals.

Right now you can go to https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk and search for whichever bête noire has you riled up. You …
