@bagder Thx for sharing this. Our products are not OSS, but I'm in the process of gathering all sorts of information about the upcoming #CRA and this might be helpful.

Hey Fedi! What's a short list of best practices for writing or configuring software to:

1. Not be a source of a DDoS attack
2. Be more resilient to a DDoS attack

I know basics (e.g. disable recursive DNS resolution, use as few resources as possible on incoming connections till verified as legit) but I would like a complete list and, boy howdy, all the search results are someone providing a DDoS protection service.

This is for the CRA OS standard, funded by EFTA and the EC

Hier ist das Recording für meinen Talk auf den #datenspuren am Wochenende, der dazu anregen soll, kleine dezentrale Serviceprovider um ein oder mehrere Open Source Komponenten zu bauen, in Antizipation des #CRA.

Ich hatte davor und danach einige interessante Gespräche mit Feedback von Maintainer:innen, und frage nun hier nochmal: Was denkt ihr dazu? https://media.ccc.de/v/ds25-587-verteilte-scharniere-zwischen-maintainer-innen-und-industrie

No more vibecoding. The CRA (Cyber Resilience Act) is coming and you'd better be prepared. @pitrh has written a very good article about it, recommended read.

The EU is doubling down hard on the nonsense we've had to tolerate way too long

🔔 Software Freedom in Europe 2025! 🚀🎉

This year we remained engaged in enforcing the #DMA, intervening in the Apple vs EC legal case; we participated in the debates around the #CRA and public procurement to ensure that #FreeSoftware is embedded in Europe’s digital future.
We continued providing legal support and improved REUSE, while involving teenagers with YH4F, and we reached new audiences with the new Ada & Zangemann movies.
