@lexinova @nextcloud To be fair, we have also ‘thought about it' for a long time. The ongoing AI enshitification has accelerated this process though.

Yet, reworking our extensive use of GitHub Actions and achieving feature parity for all the runners on our various platforms only became viable recently. See this post for context https://hachyderm.io/@alexband/115961574869660535

#OpenSource has a problem. There are many under-supported or even abandoned open-source programs that are still widely used, but there’s no one at the driver’s wheel.

In our journey to #DigitalSovereignty, here's where we are:

- Domain registration: TransIP and Prolocation 🇳🇱
- Email, calendar, collaborative writing, and more: mailbox.org 🇩🇪
- Document store: Tresorit 🇨🇭
- Critical infra hosting: Hetzner 🇩🇪
- Discourse hosting: Communiteq 🇳🇱
- Security: 1Password.eu 🇨🇦/🇪🇺 and Yubico 🇸🇪

Next up: GitHub —> Codeberg 🇩🇪

To-do: Slack —> Zulip, Matrix, Mattermost?

#OpenSource #DNS #BGP

@graaff Given the amount of people we have and services we depend on, this is all handled per service. Personal and shared credentials are handled in 1Password. For critical credentials and software signing we have a Yubikey-based process.

"Fun” fact: our security posture is pretty strong, but we don’t have a formally documented and verified process and thus no ISO27001 certification. This is becoming increasingly problematic dealing with (potential) customers. #DigitalSovereignty #OpenSource

It's time to talk #migration. At #FOSDEM, "The Great Migration" explores why now is the moment to push for #Linux desktops across governments and institutions. Politics, cost, sovereignty; it's all on the table. #Endof10 #openSUSE #opensource https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/PHKFZF-great-migration/

Wie können wir Kinder und Jugendliche für digitale Souveränität durch #FreieSoftware sensibilisieren? Freue mich jetzt schon darauf, im März gemeinsam mit @annabonnie und vielen anderen Expertinnen, Lehrkräften und pädagogischen Fachkräften darüber nachzudenken und zu diskutieren!

The EU wants to know how it should build upon its past #opensource activities such as Next Generation Internet to support open source communities and businesses. You can give your input until February 3! https://github.blog/news-insights/policy-news-and-insights/help-shape-the-future-of-open-source-in-europe/

Small UX improvement: I'm adding an "Open" button to the forms overview, saving you a few clicks if you want to test or share a form. #buildinpublic #opensource #uxdesign

@thomasjorgensen @ronnylam For a little more context: when I deal with @nlnetlabs contracts and NDAs, I don’t get around having a Microsoft 365 subscription. There is no reasonable way that I know of to Track Changes, review and annotate while preserving all formatting in anything else than native MS Word.

But, the final result is not stored in OneDrive but either a local git repository or Tresorit.

It amuses me no end that musicians and artists can come out shouting against their work being used by fascists and murderers and are applauded.

And when one suggests that that might be a good position to take publicly for "us", inevitably someone comes out of the woodwork with "well actually then it would no longer be Free or Open Source because of the four freedoms"
