As the year ends, I’m realizing what a roller-coaster it’s been. I wrapped a long, rewarding, but eventually toxic career chapter in February. Then I pivoted away from big tech, moved toward ethical tech, & connected with people building privacy-focused, FOSS & open-source tools. I’ve heard honest stories, hopeful & stuck. The barrier isn’t the tech. It’s knowing where to start & who to trust. Thanks to those daring to take the first steps with me.
Exciting year ahead!

According to news on November 21, today, the 2025 Open Atom Developer Conference opened in Beijing. The conference focused on the deep integration of artificial intelligence and open source technology, and fully demonstrated the core value of open source ecology in promoting industrial innovation and cultivating new quality productivity. https://harmonyoshub.com/open-atom-open-source-foundation-there-are-2-27-million-active-open-source-developers-in-our-country-and-open-source-openharmony-and-open-source-openeuler-have-become-the-first-batch-of-graduation-p/ #HarmonyOS #Huawei #OpenHarmony #tech #technology #opensource #China #innovation #productivity @board
Another day, another twinge of sadness after discovering a useful open-source library that was abandoned sometime in the last five years.
This isn't some niche thing. It's linked directly in the documentation of an influential JavaScript framework, and you can't even install it anymore because it's out of date with said framework.
I don't think we've fully realized the scope and impact of this trend.
An opinion piece I wrote on why you should move away from GitHub to something like Forgejo (try Codeberg if you want something hosted for you) for development. Applies to companies and open-source devs.

On Thursday, @gyptazy provided a talk about #BoxyBSD at the "Virtualization Gathering" at @credativde.
@gyptazy provided some more information about the BoxyBSD project, but also about the history and infrastructure including the switches of #FreeBSD #Jails, #bhyve and #Proxmox (#kvm). Afterwards, additional information about the #Sylve project were shared and why this is so important and interesting and could make BoxyBSD return to bhyve based #virtualization.

It is my personal and professional opinion, not to fund or further trust the Starkey Development.
I am out 1,000 bucks and that is my own doing. My fault. My stupidity.
But the development may be toxic with some not so nice individuals. The software, I like. You're likely using the software too (It's good, isn't it? I think so). But I do believe there are some toxic people you may not want to be associated within the development.

Hi :)
I'm here to show you the (current) entire process of creating your own skill effect inside the engine!
Lots of work is still needed on the graph system, but it's a start! =)

Spread the word. #streisandthis #followerpower #nextcloud #owncloud #opencloud. It wasn't very #opensource what happened to me over the last two years. And it did cost a lot, but I didn't back down with my articles, neither did my publishers. Thanks to all of them. And the Regensburg court was very clear. If you ever are in similar trouble, I can help and report.
Thank you, #NoSlapp for your assessment on this case. In particular, thank you, Philipp Wissing!

TIL again, about low ram footprint editors in OpenSource environments.
In the period where the following commands were valid
ATX3DT
ATA
Such editors were standard. I'm talking about vi. Over extremely noisy POTS lines without error correction, vi was the only editor you could use safely. I remember switching from editing mode to reading mode as frequently as possible, because the 2400 BPS modem from the SR University, had difficulty to keep the line as noise free as possible due to the archaic hardware infrastructure of the phone company.
The editor I'm learning again about is nvi
I'm going to take a deep dive into this, because one thing I love is using the least memory as possible while computing

Okay it’s probably obvious/I’m over-thinking it, but I really like that every word in the @roost.tools acronym carries weight.
