🎞️ 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.

🌟 Quando l'open source diventa poesia!
Una vittoria per tutti i sognatori che credono nei beni digitali condivisi: oggi celebriamo Flow – capolavoro nato da @Blender, strumento libero che crea emozioni globali! 🎥
Questa vittoria agli #Oscar non è (solo) di un film: è il trionfo di chi costruisce ponti, non muri. Dimostra che con codice aperto, grande passione e poche risorse anche un team indipendente può sfidare i colossi dell'animazione!

My latest blog post: Migrating my Mastodon server to Masto.host
https://mikecoats.com/migrating-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??? 😱
Hasta la vista, baby.

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.

new release of #Fedialgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, counts the number of times each hashtag appears in your timeline even if people don't use a "#" character to give you a better sense of what people are talking about in the Fediverse.
there's a little bit of art vs. science here because some strings are disqualified from this kind of counting (e.g. a word like "the" should not be counted even if some maniac decided to make it a hashtag) so let me know if you see any weirdly high counts.

Time for a new #introduction!
I'm a former #geographer & #mapmaker, now working on a #PhD project in digital #archaeology, between #Prehistory and #openSource #geospatial.
I used to work as an #artist, I'm into #sailing (I was #livingAboard during a few years) and #musicMaking is my happy place. I'm also a happy #dad and I'm fluent in fr, en & es.
Finally, I'm the proud admin of https://Mapstodon.space, a great #Mastodon instance dedicated to maps — & full of decent and interesting people!

(€) Ich habe über die letzten Jahre viel recherchiert, selbst bei @ownclouders gearbeitet, auch bei @mailbox_org, die heute @OpenCloud betreiben. Und ich war Speaker auf der #nextcloud conference. Letztere hatten immer wieder Probleme mit Aussagen von mir, man traf sich vor Gericht, der Vergleich war für uns sehr erfreulich. Egal. #opensource #linux hat so viele spannende Geschichten zu erzählen, die von #owncloud und #nextcloud und #opencloud ist eine davon.
