Clarifying Costs of Running the Fediverse with Jerry from Infosec.Exchange
I decided since I don't understand how all of this works, I will just simply ask Jerry personally about all of this data and technical details, so that people will no longer be confused about all of this.
Includes an exclusive interview with Jerry.

We are building an emergency legal aid app to connect people with lawyers during ICE raids, police encounters, and situations where vulnerable communities face harassment. Video calls within minutes when people need legal help most.
Response has been incredible! Flutter developers, legal experts, and lawyer connections joining the team.
Still looking for:
- Go backend developer (video calling infrastructure, real-time connections)
- Outreach coordinator (connecting with pro bono legal organizations, finding hosting/infrastructure funding)
DM if interested. Boost for reach!

🎞️ 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.
#0ad is possibly one of the most advanced #foss games. It's a multi-platform #RTS historical #game, and there's currently an appimage for #Linux users found at #github (in case #flatpak isn't to your liking).
Plays really smoothly, although it eats my 2015's #Macbook Air's battery (running Linux #Mint) for lunch. We're talking that it has about 30 minutes of overall #gameplay before I need to recharge. CPU utilization is at about 50-60%. @play0ad

🎉 Huge shoutout to two amazing contributors from Korea's #OSSCA program who've made excellent contributions to #Fedify!
👏 @gaebalgom tackled a tricky terminal compatibility issue in PR #282, fixing the fedify node command's favicon display on terminal emulators without truecolor support (#168). His solution elegantly detects terminal capabilities and falls back to 256-color mode when needed—ensuring a great experience across different environments.
🌟 @joonnot enhanced Fedify's #WebFinger functionality in PR #281 by adding a configurable maxRedirection option to the lookupWebFinger() function (#248). He transformed a hardcoded limitation into a flexible, user-customizable parameter while maintaining perfect backward compatibility.
Both delivered thoughtful, well-implemented solutions that showcase the quality of contributions coming from the OSSCA program. Welcome to the Fedify community!

Never thought I'd be writing official docs for a major open source project begging LLMs to stop fabricating surreal vulnerabilities.
Is this the future??? 😱

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.
I think it's really good if open source projects set up their own Gitlab server, to have full control over their project.
But it's super annoying to register for each,if you want to report a bug. Especially if there is no registration with Github or Gitlab sign-on.
