#WSocial will open up their beta program today… and I have a SCOOP for you: it appears that they have quietly gone closed-source!

This is ironic, considering that the @EUCommission just unveiled their Tech Sovereignty Package, emphasizing the importance of #OpenSource. And yet they have migrated their main ATproto accounts to W Social - whose code can no longer be inspected!

My full article - with a great analysis by @aral:

Quick fact: if you've ever streamed content on Netflix, used a PlayStation, or sent a packet through a Juniper router, you've touched FreeBSD.

Many people still believe that Proxmox Backup Server is only meant for Proxmox VE environments and can only be used to back up virtual machines and containers. The reality is that the Proxmox Backup Client has been available for quite some time, allowing dedicated servers and desktop systems to benefit from the same centralized backup infrastructure.

The challenge? The client is powerful, but not necessarily the most user friendly tool for everyone.

That is where OneSystems GmbH (https://www.onesystems.ch) steps in with their #opensource project BackupPilot. It provides a modern and intuitive graphical interface that makes connecting Linux desktop systems to #ProxmoxBackupServer simple and accessible for everyone.

In my latest blog post, I take a closer look at BackupPilot and how it helps bring centralized backups to the desktop. If it fits from a time perspective, I'll also show a small live demo next to my other PBS and S3 talk at @credativde@mastodon.social's next virtualization gathering. Entry is free, feel free to join!

NetBSD turns 33 this Sunday! 🚩

To celebrate 33 years of clean code, portability, and zero bloat, Challenging the rest of the fediverse to help hit this year's funding goals.

Also do drop a screenshot of your uptime, uname -a, or a pic of the weirdest hardware you've got running NetBSD right now. (RockPro64 NPF routers or Pi's hooked up to retro CRTs highly encouraged).

Throw some money at the developers keeping the real UNIX alive:
