Uuuh, wir sind ein bisschen aufgeregt!
Heute findet der erste Termin statt an dem wir von der GoeLUG an eine Schule in #Goettingen gehen dürfen um dort mit den Schülis auf ein paar Laptops Linux zu installieren. Außerdem werden wir noch über FOSS, digitale Unabhängigkeit und Datenschutz reden.

Wir freuen uns sehr über die Möglichkeit und hoffen, dass wir das in Zukunft noch viel mehr machen können! Wir werden mit Sicherheit berichten!

Mit im Gepäck sind natürlich einige Flyer von @digitalcourage sowie Sticker und "Ada und Zangemann" von unserer geliebten @fsfe welche uns auch als Diskussionsgrundlage dienen sollen.

Open Source calendar platform goes proprietary under the delusion that "AI" means keeping their code secret leads to more secure software.

The move does absolutely nothing to increase the security of their product.

Do you really "own" your data? It depends – if it's stored in a proprietary, closed format from a single vendor, maybe not.

After reading this Ubuntu blog article, I decided to delete Ubuntu iso files and overwrite a Ubuntu USB live stick. I am going to get rid of filthy stuff. I don't tolerate them at all and I personally am very strict on not having anything affiliated with Nazi stuff or their sympathizers. I will never use Ubuntu. I will never promote Ubuntu.

Der Wahlerfolg von Peter Magyar (Tisza / EVP) über Viktor Orban in Ungarn 🇭🇺🇪🇺 erschüttert Rechtsdualisten weltweit. Denn Orban hatte auch die Kontrolle über fast alle Konzern- und Staatsmedien des Landes gewonnen, zudem die Unterstützung von Trump & Putin.

I’ve curated over 135 accounts dedicated to European digital Independence.
The pack includes distributions, software, and services developed or managed right here in Europe.

Centralized and corporate-owned social media hurts Native communities

Tech billionaires do not care about us; for them, our communities only serve to be exploited for capital gain... They’ve revolutionized the art of cultural appropriation, making algorithms that can steal Native art and use it without consent much faster than was ever before possible.

Okay, I just ran into a similar issue which re-prioritized it higher for me to implement... But hey, here it is! You can now also use ACME with any other ACME compatible CAs rather than just Let's Encrypt. In this example, you can see it with my own Certificate Authority (CA) "gyptazy open-source solutions", which is operated by StepCA.

I'm really happy to see how PegaProx becomes better and better every day... Over Easter, several new cool features took place!

Custom ACME Integration in PegaProx with gyptazy open-source solutions CA example

For real, many people asked me for their smaller and mid-sized environments, how to handle remote syslog of their nodes. I had some ideas (some of you may have already found my Rust interpretation of this) but I think having this included in #PegaProx as a centralized management interface makes more sense.

So, PegaProx comes with an own syslog server (ipv4/ipv6, udp/tcp, encrypted/unencrypted support) and is wired to the interface within the resources tab. Providing a quick overview of all your logs and filter options. The next thing is wiring it to the notification system of PegaProx, allowing automated alerting. Might be nice to quickly identify when the quorum got lost - all built-in into PegaProx!

Galilee, Japan. JJ: "I know all this nwe technology is frightening. I do! And it is true that some of it exists only to exploit you! But all of it can be made to serve you! Despite what the big tech priests lead you to believe, you do not need them or their services. They will do everything to stop you from realizing this truth. Japanese Peter: "Who is this kid?" Japanese John: "That's JJ, man. He's the son of the machine in the sky. He's gonna teach us how to run free software." JJ: "A war for your soul has already begun. Follow me and I will show you how to fight back."

The feedback was honestly amazing. Many were impressed by how PegaProx brings essential enterprise grade features to Proxmox clusters that are still missing today. We can clearly see the gaps that were fixed by #ProxLB, #ProxSnap, #ProxCLMC, #ProxPatch and many other ones! Keep in mind, PegaProx is free and fully #opensource!

That said, we know there's always room for improvement. Whether it is major enhancements or small quality of life tweaks, every detail matters. Over the weekend, I took your feedback from the calls seriously and integrated a number of improvements to make PegaProx even more intuitive and powerful.

Your input drives this project forward. If you feel something is missing or could be improved, let us know!

PS: Pegaprox also support #XCP (#XCPng) ans corss-cluster / cross-hypervisor migrations. So, you can quickly jump over to XCP 🙂

Finally, I managed to install and configure a graphical environment directly during a #FreeBSD installation session 🎉

Most of the friction was around GPU drivers, but the feedback and suggestions I received were incredibly helpful. A lot of people want to use FreeBSD on their laptops and desktops, and that really shows.

For now, the goal was to provide a simple option to install #KDE Plasma. If there’s interest and more requests, we can definitely expand this in the future with additional desktop environments and options.

Special thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for their support 🙌

Back in May 2019, we said goodbye to SVN and Bugzilla and migrated to Git and GitHub [1]. Since then, we accumulated 188 repositories. 🙀

We're now making a list to decide which ones we're moving to @Codeberg and which are going to be archived and left behind.

While we're doing that, we signed NLnet Labs up as a Codeberg e.V. member!

I'm Blake — reintroducing myself as I'm back on the timeline.

I'm a Cloud Engineer working in Site Reliability and DevOps in the healthcare industry. I design and build highly scalable, resilient infrastructure that powers modern healthcare systems. Day-to-day I work with .NET, JavaScript, and TypeScript to deliver reliable platforms.

Outside of work, I build with Go — creating tools that prioritize performance, privacy, and user empowerment.

A couple things I'm working on:

RideAware — A cycling training platform for building structured training plans, analyzing ride data, and completing indoor workouts all in one place.

Arcline Hosting — A self-hosted web hosting service for people who want to know exactly where their data lives. It runs on hardware I own and operate — no AWS, no Cloudflare, no third-party CDN. Shared, WordPress, and VPS plans with personal ticket and email support.

My core interests span SRE, cloud infrastructure, DevOps/automation, and network engineering. I spend a lot of time with Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and enjoy digging into routing, firewalls, and secure network design.

I'm here because I care about privacy, self-hosting, and building things that give people more control over their own data. Good to be back — looking forward to reconnecting with this community.
