I'm not sure why, but it seems as if the GitHub Continuous Integration checks are just... hanging? They were queued for a really long time and I stopped looking and when I checked again it was like "running" or whatever for 9 hours, but clearly probably nothing is actually happening.

Builds locally OK!

It's been a couple of days since I submitted that PR, and my apologies for lagging upstream as well. My life has been kinda, off.

I'll probably get around to emailing the MacPorts' dev mailing list if it still seems to be stalled and no one else beats me to it. Presumably, eventually, it will get merged!

Thanks again to you and others (e.g. dandelions, postscriptum, piefed) for the continued improvements!

Jeff Geerling got the brunt of YouTube wrath when he showed people how to host their own media {media that they legally own, which means that they either have the originals, or have paid for whatever digital version they have} with the power of Open Source tools
Jeff explicitly made sure that he never ever told people how to circumvent subscriptions or worse. Nothing that could harm YouTube bottomline was ever discussed in this video.

Yet for reasons obvious to Open Source people like me YouTube gave him his second strike.

3rd Strike and you're gone. This is how Google / this is how Alphabet is treating their Golden Geeze.

Creators like Jeff are very valuable both to the people who follow them and to YouTube. However Google seems to be at Super odds with Open Source, needing it to run their data centers but hating it because they have to share the code again that they've worked upon.

Google is a paradoxical Company which is being controlled by Alphabet, a schizophrenic Entity drunk on power Ads and control

To me you're a star @geerlingguy keep Shining

The image shows a screenshot of a webpage with a black background and white text. The title reads "Self-hosting your own media considered harmful" and is dated June 5, 2025. Below the title, there is a paragraph explaining that the author received a second community guidelines violation for a video demonstrating the use of LibreELEC on a Raspberry Pi 5 for 4K video playback. The screenshot includes a warning message from YouTube's Studio interface, indicating a violation of community guidelines for "Harmful or dangerous content." The warning message is dated June 5, 2025, and includes a link to the video in question. The author mentions avoiding demonstrations of tools that circumvent purchasing media content or automatically slurp up YouTube content. The webpage's URL is "jeffgeerling.com/bl," and the browser's address bar shows the URL "studio.youtube.com/channel/UCR-DXtvoobSnhAcvRz2hg."

Happy to announce, that there'll be a talk about my #ProxLB project at the Dutch #Proxmox Day 2025!

In "The Art of Balance – Dynamic Load Management in Proxmox with ProxLB", @formorer (from our company @credativde speaks about the opportunities by integrating such solutions into your Proxmox cluster!

Thanks to the Tuxis Team for providing us this opportunity!

Feel free to join the Dutch Proxmox Day - 25.09.2025!

Git is a tool I like, a lot. Before git, you could do RCS {& some others} which is a totally different tool set.

In this video Linus Torvalds talks about the way he created Git two+ decades ago.

What immediately Springs into view, is the fact that Linus gave control of the git project to someone else, as soon as he could he did not want to stay with the project for too long.

Git was created because of pure necessity; it was vital for kernel revision control

Two individuals are seated in a room with a warm, brownish background. The person on the left is wearing a white shirt and blue jeans, while the person on the right, Linus Torvalds, is dressed in a gray jacket and blue jeans. They are seated on chairs with a small table between them, which holds two glasses. The room has a cozy atmosphere with plants and a painting on the wall. The video player interface includes typical controls such as play/pause, volume, and a progress bar, along with icons for sharing, liking, and starring the video.

The screencap shows Linus Torvalds sitting at a table in a warm, indoor setting with large windows that allow natural light to fill the room. He is wearing a gray hoodie and has gray hair. The man is gesturing with his hands, suggesting he is engaged in a conversation or explaining git. The table has a glass container, possibly a water bottle, and a brown leather chair is visible. The background features a blurred view of greenery outside, indicating a peaceful environment. The overall atmosphere is calm and relaxed.

@marcevers This is probably the 'vitamins' in our small arsenal of posts. I wonder if it will attract more feedback here than on #LinkedIn ... It was fun #OpenSource ing it anyaway. Always good to have another look at the layout and (lack of) explanation (we do that in person usually). I wonder if anyone on here finds the easter egg.

Here are my personal recommendations for apps on GrapheneOS:

* App Stores: Sandboxed Google Play, F-Droid (with IzzyOnDroid repository), Accrescent (installable via GOS App Store), Obtainium (for APKs)

* Phone: Default AOSP/GOS phone app
* SMS: Default AOSP/GOS messenger app
* Contacts: Default AOSP/GOS contacts app
* Camera: Default GrapheneOS Camera app

* Browser: Vanadium (default), Vivaldi browser (Play/Obtainium), Firefox/Fennec (Play/F-Droid)

* File manager: Fossify File Manager (Play/F-Droid)
* Gallery: Fossify Gallery (Play/F-Droid)
* Notes: EasyNotes (Accrescent/F-Droid)
* Calculator: OpenCalc (Obtainium/F-Droid)
* Weather: BreezyWeather (Obtainium/Play/F-Droid)
* Mastodon: Moshidon (Obtainium/Play/F-Droid)
* Matrix: Schildichat (F-Droid, own F-Droid repo)

* Sunup: For apps that support UnifiedPush as notification service (Obtainium/Play/F-Droid)

Today I learned the following. Journaling and journaling are two separate distinctly separate manners of keeping file systems in Sync.

When microsoft talks about journaling in NTFS you should never, ever think about the robust journaling system that Ext4 has

In comparison EXT4 journaling is a god while en NTFS journaling is not even an ant

I have EXT4 file systems connected to an extremely unstable machine. This thing crashes to green screens more than 64 times a day.

{It's a Gigabyte Mini PC in case you're interested never buy those. The machine came with overheating errors from the beginning. The factory installed a fan for the APU which is not even suitable for a GPU that was made a decade ago}

I've not even lost one bit of data on those EXT4 file systems.

Those NTFS file systems with journaling? I lost all of them. All NTFS file systems were lost

I didn't lose data because I have backups the file systems just keeled over simply because the machine kept rebooting

Thank you for being so robust EXT4

Proxmox for Enterprises: Imagine DRS-Like Guest Load Balancing!

ProxLB automatically rebalances VMs & Containers across a Proxmox cluster based on memory, CPU, and local disk usage, and can suggest the best nodes for further automation within CI/CDs. It supports maintenance mode, affinity and anti-affinity rules, and integrates seamlessly with the Proxmox API and ACL system. No SSH, just pure API! The best - it's free & #opensource

@onepict @dean36963 @beasts Well, to be fair, both of my significant attackers over the past 24 hours are openly declaring themselves. But it doesn't feel remotely fair.

I'm going to at least have to raise my log analysis game (because I haven't, up to now, been routinely analysing git traffic) and spend more of my time monitoring traffic.

It will drive at least some small #OpenSource developers off the net.
