Hello Fediverse! 👋
VaeVictis OS is a hardened Debian 13 desktop (GNOME) for people leaving Windows.
Out of the box:
- closed firewall, no open ports
- full disk encryption
- sandboxed apps
- simple tools for VPN, system snapshots and NVIDIA drivers
- free guides and small tools at vaevictisos.org/learn
Honest note: it's a hobby project. The tools are written with AI and have not been independently audited. Feedback and code reviews are very welcome.
Replying to
Lots of nightly updates coming in today!
Most notable bugs:
- When you type a hashtag or at-person, the popout gets in the way
- Ultra Accessible themes for vision impaired have some font size issues
- Some hover states and element proportions, especially padding, have regressions from v5 and the new nightly theme
- Bugs in the advanced view
The latest changes are in the nightly branch, and work is still in progress. You can follow my work here: https://github.com/rollecode/mastodon-bird-ui/tree/nightly
Some of these are core issues and will probably be fixed or changed in Mastodon v5 stable. If not, fixes will go live in our fork.

Microsoft gaat haar licenties voor het onderwijs aanpassen: In de plaats van gratis modules komen er uitgeklede versies en betaalde opties.
Waarom zijn we niet verbaasd over deze verschuiving?
Daarom zeggen we: stap over naar open source. Dan ben je zelf in control

Europe depends on open digital infrastructure. Which technologies are critical, and where is support most needed? We invite maintainers and experts worldwide to share their knowledge to inform the design and investment priorities of the EU Sovereign Tech Fund pilot.
Take the survey by 30 November 2026 and share it with your networks: https://survey.sovereign.tech/eustf

Hello World !
Je débarque ici pour avoir une autre vision des RS.
Passionné par #Linux, l'#OpenSource, l'#AutoHebergement et le #DevOps, j'ai créer une chaîne Youtube, mais en ce moment je suis plutôt sec sur les publications.
Au plaisir d’échanger avec vous toot(s) 😀

Hi Mastodon! I'm Denys, a Ukrainian developer living in Spain. I'm building Vilna OS, a GNOME-based Linux for people who want privacy without the setup, and Gloxi, an open-source assistant that runs on your own computer. The cloud is optional, and text is masked and sent to EU servers only. Building in the open: github.com/StDenis1980/VilnaOS

Hello fediverse! I'm Tommy, an indie dev in Washington.
I built pŷr search: a free, open-source AI search that pulls sources first and answers from them with citations, so you can check every claim.
Bring your own model, local or hosted. AGPL-3.0, code on Hugging Face.
Try it: theopencodex.org/search
Feedback very welcome, especially on setup!

Hi Mastodon! 👋 #introduction
I’m Edgar, and I built Terra Tempora: a free globe where you can scroll through history and watch borders, empires and events change over time.
Pick a country, press play and travel through the centuries, or search for a battle or treaty.
It’s open source, with no ads and no tracking, and it’s available in English, French and Spanish.
🌍 https://terra-tempora.com/?ref=mastodon
Feedback and missing events are very welcome!

I wanna talk about the political movement of the Open Source community. If you spend enough time on fedi, you surely will have heard *plenty* of criticisms of what's going on in Open Source, and rightfully so.
So I'm curious, what do we think the Open Source community *should be doing* in order to achieve important progressive and anti-authoritarian goals? What should the next generation of programmers be thinking of and working on in this space?
A special rule: You're only allowed to say "don't X" if you have at least as many "do Y" recommendations. Preferably, I'd like to see more do's than don't's.
Boosts welcome

Every panel I go on: "Gina but isn't open source inherently less secure than closed source?"
Meanwhile, MS Paint does remote code execution now 💀

Hi Mastodon! I'm Juliano, founder of Shimpz and creator of https://easi.run secure browser sessions for you and your agents.
I build products and share the tools along the way. I'd love to connect with people working on developer tools, AI agents, browser automation and open source.
What are you building, and what should I check out here?

📦 New FeedEcho destination: GitHub. One user asked for it, so here it is.
FeedEcho can now publish feed items as markdown files straight into a GitHub repo. Connect a repo with a fine-grained PAT, then set a file path template and body template per echo. Front matter renders like any other template text, so your feed's tags land in the file. Existing files update in place, never duplicated.
Self-host or use the hosted version: https://github.com/jcrabapple/feedecho and https://feedecho.net

Hi BizzFed. I'm Jürgen. I got into IT in 1989 by writing software
documentation, before I owned a computer. I never stopped writing.
At LakeDrops, a small Drupal agency, I maintain ECA, a workflow engine on more
than 25,000 websites. Since July 2025 almost all my working time has gone into
open source. The community never got an invoice for that. In September it did.
More on that later.
So far I've only written for the Drupal crowd. Here I'm looking for people who
have never installed Drupal and still ask the same questions. How do I automate
work without chaining myself to a vendor? Which AI tools do I actually control?
Who pays for the open source my business runs on?
Who should I follow here who has nothing to do with Drupal?
