🎞️ A developer managed to reverse pixelation in video using FFmpeg, GIMP and edge detection - no AI involved.
By analyzing motion and edges across frames, they could reconstruct original content from blurred areas.
It’s a reminder: pixelation is visual, not secure.

My latest blog post: Migrating my Mastodon server to Masto.host

I migrated my Mastodon server from a self-hosted DigitalOcean droplet to an instance provided by Masto.host. The process was straightforward and took less than an hour.

Steam just added screen reader support in the latest Big Picture Mode beta. On the Deck. On SteamOS. On Linux.
Not hacked in. Not community-patched. Built-in. From Valve.
There's an accessibility tab. There's a screen reader. There's high-contrast mode, UI scaling, color filters, reduced motion, and more.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but: I need a Steam Deck now.
Accessibility isn’t just coming to gaming — it’s here, and it’s official.
Let’s make some noise so they keep going.

France quietly deployed 100,000+ Linux machines in their police force - GendBuntu is a silent EU tech success story
Well done. Let us get free from Microsoft spyware OS. They are not trustworthy vendors, and all taxpayers' money should go to fund open-source apps/software and not to Bill Gates' fortune.
#BillGates and #LinusTorvalds just met each other for the first time
(The other two are Mark Russinovich and Dave Cutler)

Wassup fedi, it's the weekly post again
Well, sad to say again, not really much this week, just had tests from school, very daunting, then after we'll have programs and whatnot,
Haven't been online on the fedi at all this week so I can't provide feedback, but I hope I'll have time to check again next week.
Also I'm trying to learn linux for a project I'm doing and I don't know where to start, so anyone from the #linux community, your help will be greatly appreciated, ps: I'm a complete noob

The plan? Simple. Install #SteamOS on the GEEKOM A5, poke at the hardware, and feed it a few games. And yeah, it has work with my Steam Controller. #Linux #miniPC

A daily #Linux command from #LinuxLexiconBot:
samba (8) - Server to provide AD and SMB/CIFS services to clients
I am a human, but my little bot posts a random Linux command daily. If you don't want to see it you can mute the LinuxLexiconBot hashtag.

Happy hacking!
… And so it begins.
I am laying in bed rn reading deposition transcripts from SFC's lawsuit against #Vizio.
I know it's not a flattering photo & now the #DebConf 2016 team in Cape Town know I use the T-shirt they gave me as sleepwear.
We're starting a 14-week marathon to adjudicate your rights under #GPL when you go to the store and buy a #Linux based device.
Watch this space & SFC's website for the journey.
There's a reason why courtroom fiction is popular TV. Get ready for the real stuff!

Typical steps for the manual installation of Guix System are available in Guix manual.
Quoting the introduction:
GNU Guix is a package management tool for and distribution of the GNU system. Guix makes it easy for unprivileged users to install, upgrade, or remove software packages, to roll back to a previous package set, to build packages from source, and generally assists with the creation and maintenance of software environments.
The manual covers many interesting topics and Getting Started is a good entry point. Git repository of GNU Guix is hosted on Codeberg, you can reach the community via various communication channels as well.The LiveCDs includes proprietary firmwares from the Nonguix channel, you can get help for relevant topics from their communication channels ;)

Linux has over 6% of the desktop market? Yes, you read that right - here's how https://www.zdnet.com/article/linux-has-over-6-of-the-desktop-market-yes-you-read-that-right-heres-how/ by @sjvn
No, not 5%. #Linux currently accounts for 6% of the desktop market, according to US government records.
For a decade I carried two iPhones: one personal, one for work. Neither ever felt at home in my Linux and BSD world.
Now it's a single Fairphone Gen6. Repairable with a screwdriver, 8 years of updates, separate work and personal profiles on one device, and it actually talks to my KDE desktop over KDE Connect.
Immich, Nextcloud, K-9 Mail, Tusky, KeePassDX, and finally GPG mail in my pocket. The camera is meh. Everything else is a clear win.
