For all people here that use #Squeezebox and Lyrion Music Server. There is a community firmware update for Squeezebox Radio, Touch and Controller. I wrote a blogpost why and how to update to the latest version: 8.5.0.

@m_j De nos jours je dirais que ce serait probablement plutôt https://www.openpaper.work/fr/ mais je ne l'ai pas essayé plus que quelques minutes par curiosité, j'ai du mal à me départir de l'idée de tout gérer dans mon système de fichiers.

Disroot (@disroot) is honestly one of the most underappreciated organisations. Their transparency, one of the best privacy policies and the amount of services they offer is really phenomenal

Say you wanted to spin up an internationalist, remote-first, tech-worker collective, but then you think about bureaucracy and The Fear stops you in your tracks.

Is there a procedural, flow-chart like resource out there?

simounet, to opensource

Do you know a good hosting provider for a demo instance of a FLOSS PHP software?

#FLOSS #OpenSource #PHP

simounet,

@koen It would be a demo instance for a PHP/MySQL app:

@simounet sounds like something we could back. What would you need to do that?

A virtual machine with some resources?

⚠️ GitLab Security Flaw (exploit) ⚠️

No matter if you host your own copy of GitLab Software or use GitLab's servers directly, you should enable 2-step Verification - NOW (right now, do not wait). There is a current exploit that allows someone to hijack GitLab Accounts, who are not using 2-step verification.

The state of Schleswig-Holstein in #Germany has renewed their de-Microsoft efforts by announcing that they will be switching the state administration's approximately 30,000 employee's PCs to #FLOSS solutions and moving towards “digitally sovereign IT workplaces”.

This was agreed upon by the state's cabinet, who have decided to replace Microsoft Office with #LibreOffice as the first of six key pillars that are part of their digitally sovereign IT workplace plan.

@gubi they did the same in Munich, then switched back to Microsoft because employees had compatibility issues with OpenOffice back then.

I don’t know what’s the status in Munich now.

@oblomov@sociale.network avatar

@chainofflowers @gubi they switched back because Microsoft opened new offices the and bribed the new local administration.

#OpenSource #FLOSS: "People asked what Red Hat could do to get me interested in Enterprise Linux again. It's simple: stop treating people who don't bring revenue to the table like garbage. Freeloaders are part of open source—whether they're running homelab or a competing business.

Companies who want to befriend open source devs need to show they care about more than just money. Unfortunately, the trend right now is to rugpull to juice the quarterlies, because money line always goes up!

But you know what? I'd just prefer honesty. If revenue is so dependent on selling software, just... make the software proprietary. Don't be so coy!

But to anyone who's not a multi-billion dollar corporation, don't be a victim of the next rugpull. The warning signs are clear: Don't sign a CLA. Stay away from projects that require them.

Stick to open source licenses that respect your freedom, not licenses written to juice revenue and prep a company for a billion-dollar-buyout.

Maybe it's time for a new open source rebellion. Maybe this time, money won't change company culture as new projects arise from the ash heap. Maybe not, but at least we can try."

Hey #journalists if you're going to use an open source project as an example of a hack, can you at least let them know in advance you're about to do something reckless so they can prepare?

K. Thanks! 🙄

This doofus used inkscape and wireshark's live gitlab for a bit of a demo hack: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/gitlab-affected-by-github-style-cdn-flaw-allowing-malware-hosting/
