💰 Slack is extorting us with a $195k/yr bill increase
｢ Salesforce (a $230 billion company) is strong-arming a small nonprofit for teens, by providing less than a week to pony up a pretty massive sum of money, or risk cutting off all our communications. That’s absurd ｣

Notre responsable du pôle infrastructure a fait un travail incroyable, mais il quitte notre merveilleuse région pour rejoindre un patelin paumé (Paris).
Si vous êtes convaincu que le libre est une bonne idée, si vous avez des compétences larges en systèmes et réseaux, si vous êtes cool et si rejoindre le service public vous tente, voici une opportunité rare.
Probably a problem for most projects, fwiw.
｢ Consensus-building wouldn’t be as much of a problem if the Steering Committee were willing to force through certain policies with a vote but many of the current Steering Committee members do not have the temperament to “disagree and commit”, which means that if any committee member raises an objection and/or filibusters then the issue typically dies in committee ｣

One of the best things to witness is seeing someone forget about their Windows partition. :)
Every success story shows that Fedora, and Linux in general, is continuing to push the desktop in the right direction - not only as an alternative to the mainstream options, but to what the desktop should have been all along.

🫠 Red Hatters to be Big and Blue whether they like it or not • The Register
"The experience might be different depending on the department, but there is nothing left from the open culture praised. We have now micromanagement, decision making from middle management that clearly have no idea of what we do and how and trying to implement ideas that they read somewhere, with no context, data and not giving answer or addressing feedback."

LinkedIn user? Starting November 3 posts will be used to train their AI. Unless you opt out, actively. Your text, your data, your choice! This should have been an opt-in, not op-out.
remarkably, after a decade of #activitypub / #fediverse and several years of #atproto / #bluesky protocols, LinkedIn is the only major social media platform type that doesn't face *any* competition from a decentralized, #opensource platform.
Not even a token effort. Interesting, no?

Hey #Proxmox community! I would like to hear your thoughts on how you usually update your Proxmox nodes and clusters. How do you handle minor Proxmox and #Debian package upgrades with #APT?
What would you think about a new API endpoint that lets you run unattended upgrades with a simple call like:
/nodes/{node_name}/apt/upgrade
At the moment you need to use the node’s HTML5 console to perform upgrades. Other methods exist such as running unattended Debian upgrade scripts, using patch management tools like #Spacewalk or #QualvoSec, or automating the process with #Ansible over SSH. My idea is to have an API based solution that relies on Proxmox authentication and authorization. This would also allow third party tools such as #ProxLB to provide automated patch management and even handle guest rebalancing in a way that is similar to DRS without requiring direct SSH access.I have already been running this approach on several internal clusters since the release of PVE 8 without issues. Now I am interested to hear if you would use unattended upgrades in general or if you are already running them today.

Do you care about #OpenSource and #Standards and have a US presence? You have until this Friday the 19th to submit feedback on the draft US Standards Strategy: https://www.ansi.org/standards-news/all-news/8-4-25-us-standards-strategy-2025-now-available-for-public-review-and-comment I suggest to call for 1) legal guarantees for open source implementations of standards, 2) ensure that open standards remain open when incorporated into standardization bodies and 3) a lower barrier for participation. I presented on the issues of standards in open source last week. Slides: https://lfenergysummiteu2025.sched.com/event/26J0P/challenges-in-using-iec-standards-in-open-source-nico-rikken-alliander

The whole iOS 26 discourse is interesting as very few people seem to realize that the problem is that they "bought" devices that they don't own.
#apple owns it.
Computing doesn't have to be this way.
Have you wondered how 3 cameras on the iPhone 17 Pro turn into 8 separate focal lengths? @bart helps me understand. Then the drilled off-centered @knightwise comes back to the show after a long hiatus to talk about how he uses all open source tools for his business, managing video conference meetings for his clients. It’s great to hear his voice again.
