Da Pope has dropped an #encyclical. An encyclical is a pastoral letter issued by the #Pope.

Historically encyclicals serve as a key instrument of the Pope’s ordinary magisterium to guide the faithful on matters of faith, morals, devotion, or social discipline, they are generally not infallible pronouncements ex cathedra.

I’m still reading and digesting, but a quick skim suggests that this is the biggest thing to drop from the #Vatican in my lifetime.

There’s, #AI, there’s transhumanism, there’s social contract, he apologizes for the Church’s blind eye to #slavery, he declared that “just war” is no longer a thing…in a change of policy held since the Crusades. He calls for #OpenSource, he quotes #Tolkien. (I like Da Pope.)

There’s a lot. You can read it here. It’s gonna take me a while to map it all out.

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.

So bad-news/good-news

Both California & Colorado are going ahead with their HORRIBLE Age-verification bills, however, both are now specifically excluding Open-Source OS's.

IMO the bill should not exist in the first place, and should not pass, and is a giant publicity stunt that will cost tons of time, effort, and money, but ultimately fail to do a single thing to protect kids.

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

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.

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.

🟢 That green light glowing in the dark is a mesh radio, GPS receiver, AI assistant, and emergency communications terminal — all running on battery inside a weatherproof aluminum box I built from scratch.

Meet the Cochrane Device — S/N 001.

After Hurricane Maria knocked out communications across Puerto Rico for months, I wanted a way to keep my family connected when everything fails. No cell towers. No internet. No power grid.

So I built one.

📦 Inside the IP66 aluminum enclosure:
→ Meshtastic LoRa mesh radio — encrypted, 15km range per hop
→ GPS with 3D fix in 18 seconds
→ WiFi hotspot so your phone becomes a node
→ Linux computer running full service stack
→ AI assistant that writes scripts on demand in the field
→ Remote access via Tailscale from anywhere on earth
→ 6-8 hours battery, solar chargeable

This is S/N 001 — the prototype. Every lesson learned here makes the next one better.

"Open Printer is an open-source, repairable inkjet printer designed for makers, artists, and anyone tired of throwaway hardware. Built with standard mechanical components and modular parts, it’s easy to assemble, modify, and repair. You can print on standard sheets or paper rolls and choose between black or color cartridges, refillable at your convenience.

"This project aims to reclaim our everyday tools. As such, it features no proprietary drivers, no cartridge DRM that locks you to a single vendor and is designed to never become obsolete. The Open Printer is built for longevity and customizability, ensuring that it remains fully under your control."

Most Google alternatives require technical knowledge most people don't have.
Self-hosting. VPN configuration. Steep learning curves.
The privacy tools exist.
They're just not accessible to people without technical backgrounds.
That means privacy is effectively only available to people who can already code.
Everyone else stays in the ecosystem because leaving is too hard.
That's the gap worth closing.

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.
