The European Union surpassed the United States as the first source of pushes to public Git repositories on GitHub, and that doesn't count the alternatives like Gitlab and Codeberg where I assume there's an even larger fraction of European contributions. https://innovationgraph.github.com/global-metrics/git-pushes #OpenSource #OSS #FOSS

Jan Ainali joined us at #FOSSBack 2026 with "FOSS behind the scenes - the center stage is not enough." A talk that highlights how relying on proprietary platforms contradicts open source values, and more importantly, what you can do about it.

"FlatPress is much more than its code. The project lives through the people who report bugs, contribute translations, develop plugins and themes, help others in the forum, or simply share their experiences." So true!

I built MeshLive, an open-source Android app for voice/video calls and live broadcasting over Bluetooth, without internet or servers. Nearby phones can also relay broadcasts to extend their reach. Inspired by internet shutdowns in India. It's still a buggy, experimental beta, but I'm releasing it for testing and contributions rather than keeping it private.

Pondering whether I should fork and try to maintain that abandoned tool that has been useful to me and I've found no suitable alternative for so far. #opensource #foss #fork

The second anniversary of this post is coming up, and surprise surprise these little "end of life" laptops are continuing to run well with #linux and do what we need them to, which includes spending less on tech so we can buy more actual books for the school library. #schooltech #endof10 #edtech #foss #reading #kidlit

Hi, I’m Marijn, a Dutch software engineer living in the Czech Republic and a firm believer in European tech independence and digital sovereignty. I’m building Vault42, EU-hosted Git hosting based on Forgejo. Expect posts about self-hosting, Forgejo, infrastructure, and moving off US platforms. #introduction #Forgejo #SelfHosting #DigitalSovereignty #FOSS #EU

Just added direct file level restore INTO the guest VM object in #PegaProx for #Proxmox VE based systems. Directly restore files from backup to VMs in #Proxmox with #PegaProx! No more awkward workflow where you first have to download the file to your local machine and then upload it back into the VM. Requirements: The initial implementation has a few requirements and limitations: Backups must be stored on a Proxmox Backup Server. Local backups are currently not supported.The VM must have the QEMU Guest Agent installed and enabled.The VM must be running while the restore operation is performed.This feature probably takes place in version 1.4.0 which might make it right to the #Proxday. You can also meet Nico and me there! #pve #opensource #homelab #enterprise #foss #community

Time for a new #introduction

Been offline for some time now but getting tired of Instagram again so here we are.

• #union member and #activist from #germany ( #igmetall )
• #coding on #macbook #m1
• Google pixel 7 running graphene os
• lover of #foss / #opensource
• #selfhosting my own services
• #traveling europe in my #oldtimer caravan #vanlife

Wanting to post on #privacy, #coding, #selfhosting. Lobbying for open software and real social networks with organisations, unions, councils etc.

Some politics may slip in here or there, wanted to do two different accounts but don't have the time to maintain one.

Happy to meet you all!

@mookie@bunnymotorsports.com @keepassxc@fosstodon.org and it is **fab!* i only discovered it a few months ago [after using #KeePassXC for many years] just when i was becoming curious about "hey i wonder what this #TOTP thing is i see some peeps mentioning?", & then i fell hard for it. around that time i also removed the few remaining passwords in my Foxes & installed the KPXC AddOn, & ever since it's all just bliss, heehee. aren't we so lucky to have all these #FOSS treasures?

Part 3: Let’s install NextCloud" 🔗 : https://blog.elenarossini.com/a-newbies-guide-to-self-hosting-with-yunohost-part-3-lets-install-nextcloud/ And sorry for repeating myself, but the path to digital independence and empowerment is easier than you thought. My self-hosted #NextCloud has fully replaced WeTransfer, Google Drive and Dropbox for me... and it's only the tip of the iceberg. I hope this visual guide will help fellow newbies. #SelfHosting #YunoHost #MySoCalledSudoLife #FOSS #blog #resist

Here is how I wasted the last 30 minutes with #mozilla #thunderbird Suddenly, the "add attachment" dialogue window stopped appearing. I could not attach memes to my emails anymore. I messed a bit around, unsuccessfully. Nothing appears anywhere in logs. I also checked #bugzilla , but that bug tracker is a huge mess and I can't wrap my head around it. Defeated, I tried #ai , which, I have to admit, helped. But not immediately. It went carefully through discarding possible culprits one by one, starting from the most common issues, until it found the cause. The culprit, in my case, is a ridiculous #bug (anyone feel free to report it, I won't touch Bugzilla with a stick) I deleted the last directory which I had last used to attach a file from. This path remains stored as default "last used" directory. Thunderbird did not find the directory anymore and decided to FREAK OUT SILENTLY instead of doing something sensible, like defaulting to my home, or at least alerting me that the directory could not be found. I want my 30 minutes back :( #rant #linux #opensource #foss #floss

Hello. This is the account for Mise, a privacy focused browser I have been building, mostly for my own daily use. It has workspace isolation, a built in ad blocker, tab hibernation, split view, a PDF reader, dark mode, and a userscript engine among other things. Close to a 1.0 release now. Happy to answer questions, and always interested in which sites trip the fingerprint protections if anyone runs into that. https://rakosn1cek.github.io/Mise-browser/ #Introduction #FOSS #OpenSource #Privacy #Electron #Linux

"A guide to running a stand at FOSDEM"

Here's a very useful blogpost from @rubenwardy@hachyderm.io, especially for anyone who has not staffed a FOSDEM stand before.

If I could add just one thing, it would be "and wear a decent mask; pack a spare / replacement filter". Air flow was dreadful, and it was rammed with people.
