Do you know of Open Source projects that need help with being translated into german?

I've been using some of my free time to translate whatever projects I find online that lack translation and am eager to do some more translating...

Still looking how to balance your VMs in #Proxmox clusters? #ProxLB 1.1.9 is here!

This release adds features that were requested during the #DutchProxmoxDay2025 which was hosted by our friends Tuxis (tuxis.nl). I'm hearing your feedback and all your feedback from the community and user base is important to me, so let me introduce the following new features:

* Add an optional memory balancing threshold
* Add affinity/anti-affinity support by pools
* Add pressure (PSI) based balancing for memory, cpu, disk
* Pressure (PSI) based balancing for nodes
* Pressure (PSI) based balancing for guests

You can simply upgrade via APT or by obtaining the latest Docker/Container image. PSI based balancing (still in beta) requires Proxmox VE 9 or greater.

Thanks to my employer
@credativ (https://credativ.de) who provides me the required time to work at this.

After jailbreaking my #kindle I decided to see what else I can do. Since it runs on #linux I was able to create a fetch utility to show some of the system information.

The project README is non existent at the moment but I’ll get that added when I get a chance.

Pretty good article on the state of the libre software ecosystem today: https://paragraph.com/@holonic-horizons/the-stallman-paradox-how-web3-became-the-ultimate-open-source-theater

It does a stellar job pointing out the problems (first 2/3), but less so the solutions. Some good points even there, though.

Donated to Bonfire.

@bonfire is like Lego you can use to facilitate different types of online spaces & communities.

@publicspaces wrote about them in '22:

https://publicspaces.net/2022/12/14/bonfire-social-on-your-own-terms/

Now they've launched #Bonfire Social 1 .0 & are busy working on Bonfire Open Science Network. These apps share code, but the focus of each ‘flavor’ of Bonfire is slightly different. If you have the opportunity to support them, it would be greatly appreciated!

I took a bye last month on account of it being the busiest week of my life, but I'm back with two #50forFOSS donations this month to make up for it. It's a double feature!

Psst...#50forFOSS is a monthly community pledge. If you want to join in, just pick a free/open-source project you appreciate and send 'em some cash. $50 is suggested, but any amount is great.

We at @credativde are launching our very first & free open-source virtualization gathering in Germany, Mönchengladbach.

This new community event brings together everyone who’s passionate about open virtualization technologies, whether it’s Proxmox VE, XCP-ng, bhyve, Harvester, or any of the countless projects that make open infrastructure thrive. It’s about sharing experiences, learning from each other, and connecting with those who build and rely on open platforms every day.

We start the evening with two talks:

* "Enterprise-Ready? How people use Proxmox VE & Ceph" by Ronald Otto from Tuxis B.V.

* "BoxyBSD – Creating a free VPS hosting platform" by Florian Paul Azim Hoberg from credativ GmbH

Afterwards, the space opens up for discussion, networking, and casual chats. If you like to join with a talk, please feel free to reach out to me.

More details can be found here:

💾 From Duplicity to Borg — a backup journey

After more than a decade with Duplicity, I finally switched to BorgBackup — and wow, that difference.

📂 Source data: 719 GB in my /home
📦 Packed size: 419 GB
📉 Actual storage: 390 GB after compression

That’s more than a 45% reduction, and the upload to remote storage is much faster now.
For someone who handles geospatial and scientific data daily, this is huge.

It’s not just about saving space — it’s about making the workflow lighter, faster, and more sustainable.

🧠 Curious — what backup tools do you trust most?

I want to propose Commons Based Peer Production as an economic model capable of representing #opensource work, #carework, #volunteering and similar efforts, where traditional #capitalism can not.

Would this allow us to describe a path towards a #solarpunk #postscarcity future?

As of Fedora Linux 43, would you make Fedora your go-to recommendation for someone's first Linux distro? Please check the response that most closely fits what you think.

Feel free to share your thoughts in the replies!

#Incus impressed me as a #Proxmox alternative, but #IncusOS? That’s the next evolution!

IncusOS comes with all the missing things like ARM64 (aarch64) support, boot safety, full disk encryption, immutable images (read-only and signed) and fully locked down to operate in API only mode.

For me, it’s a mix of #Talos, #Harvester and Proxmox where it merges the best features of all ones!

Curious about the latest trends in Open Source, GitHub, and AI? I recently had a great conversation with GitHub’s @alacolombiadev and @kedashakerr about this year’s Octoverse Report! We discussed how AI is shaping programming language preferences, the evolving approach to security in open source projects, and what these changes mean for developers.
Tune in to hear our thoughts and takeaways!

Our democratic public sphere needs open networks!

Together with @offene_netzwerke we demand that public money be invested into Free Software and in open, decentralised infrastructures.

There's lots of talk about "digital sovereignty" – but what does that exactly mean? Well, avoiding vendor lock-in and economic dependency for starters.

Not wasting anymore time and heart advocating for Firefox and forks, they're doomed.

"Opensource" is sadly not enough to keep me ignoring the awful organization and their individuals parading like they wouldn't just throw you under the bus the moment they get a break
