SelfPrivacy 0.13.0 is out now, and it finally brings Single Sign On support, powered by Kanidm under the hood.
New servers will have it enabled by default, but for existing ones there are some caveats: please read our blog post for more info: selfprivacy.org/blog/2025/04/2…
We've also added a new service to our catalog: the to-do app @vikunja. It supports SSO out of the box.
This release is made possible thanks to the support from @NGIZero, thank you very much!
The desktop team in Red Hat has another open position. We’re looking for someone to work on Flatpak automation, for someone who enjoys working on infrastructure. Although the job description states 2+ years of experience, it’s suitable for juniors. Formal experience can be replaced by relevant open source contributions. Being onsite in Brno, Czech Republic is preferred, but not required. We’re open to hiring good candidates elsewhere, too.
If you’d like to know more about the job before formally applying, don’t hesitate to contact me on Mastodon, Signal, Matrix (@eischmann at fedora.im), or email.
Company Description At Red Hat, we connect an innovative community of customers, partners, and contributors to deliver an open source stack of trusted, high-performing solutions.
I quickly read the job offer, and it didn’t seem to me that there was the answer to the following question: when you talk about “Flatpak automation”, do you talk about the possibility of automating the installation of flatpaks on an entire computer park (with the building of versions customized by the administrator), or is it a question of improving all the building process of Red Hat’s Flatpak repository?
onsite is preferred (it's a company policy to rebuild site communities), but not required. However, the budget for the position is for the Czech Republic which makes it really difficult to meet demands of candidates from high income locations.
onsite would be a clear no-go for anyone I know who's even remotely talented, even if they were within communting distance.
Corporations forcing people to socialize is cringe af. Either one has a good culture and people want come together or not.
Not to mention it's ableist af to any non-neurotypical or disabled person.
This ain't like TechSupport onsite at clients' datacenters or plumbing where it makes sense to have personnel onsite to be able to reach clients AFAP.
It's not a matter of money either. I did reject a position paying 50% higher... All I'd care is getting legally employed under German law for healthcare and tax reasons.
Still wishing only the best of luck and success at filling said vacancy!
I understand, but the policy isn't something I can directly influence. However, it's a very soft preference. Our engineering has always been very distributed with many people working remotely, especially the desktop team where most people work remotely. I don't think it's a major obstacle. If we have two very similarly qualified candidates, we may prefer the one who can be in Brno, otherwise we'd just pick the better one no matter where they work from.
Right, so. Chrome is a horrible browser with a huge marketshare. It's well known that it spies on its users. They've recently decided that ad-blockers are bad so they released a new version of the add-ons system so ad-blockers can't work as effectively. Google has used it to forece through its own standards and practices despite anything that happens in the W3C standards body. Right, okay. So Chrome must die.

Small correction: The crimson suite was created in 2023 already. See e.g. this librem5-base upload: source.puri.sm/Librem5/librem5… and lots of packages were uploaded afterwards. There was a stall in between but the foundations for crimson are about 1y older.

sth seems wrong here, maybe a version was build incorrectly (though that's very unlikely), could you provide me with the direct link of the file that you downloaded?
Also maybe you still had the old version open, make sure you quit delta chat completely and then open the new version.
@simon @fireborn It's no better than when I made my video, and all support emails have gone unanswered since last August. I know how to make it work for me, imperfect though it is.

@fireborn @BorrisInABox @simon I concur with this. I'm a Rossmann viewer myself and heard about the LTT Honey situation through him. The reports about their company morals from a few years ago didn't sound too good either.
@dangero @fireborn @BorrisInABox @simon Rossmann gets on his own high horse about shit though, jumping into things that have nothing to do with him, yelling at people with his angry face. It's sad. If he stuck in his own lane, right to repair, he'd do alright.

The process of importing the #EV is finally over. It was pretty smooth on the Czech side except for a little drama at the technical inspection. Since I was buying it from an official dealer, I just checked the VIN code on the windshield, but the technical inspection needs to check the one sealed in the chassis and they couldn't find it. I had to call the German dealer and they had to ask the mechanics. It was under the carpet in the back of the trunk. 😅

With bluesky (mostly) going down for a few hours today, I got to wondering about how decentralized the fediverse really is in terms of where its servers are hosted. I grabbed a server list from fedidb, with network information coming from ipinfo.io .
These stats are by the number of *servers* not the number of *users* (maybe I'll run those stats later).
fedidb currently tracks 2,650 servers of various types (Mastodon, pixelfed, lemmy, misskey, peertube, etc)
The fediverse is most vulnerable to disruptions at CloudFlare: 24% of Fediverse servers are behind it. Also note that this means that I don't have real data on where this 24% are located or hosted, since CloudFlare obscures this by design.
Beyond CloudFlare, the fediverse is not too concentrated on any one network. The most popular host, Hertzner, only hosts 14% of fediverse servers, and it falls off fast from there.
Here are the top networks where fediverse servers are hosted:
504 Cloudflare, Inc. 356 Hetzner Online GmbH 130 DigitalOcean, LLC 114 OVH SAS 56 netcup GmbH 55 Amazon.com, Inc. 55 Akamai Connected Cloud 36 Contabo GmbH 33 SAKURA Internet Inc. 32 The Constant Company, LLC 31 Xserver Inc. 28 SCALEWAY S.A.S. 24 Google LLC 23 Oracle Corporation 16 GMO Internet Group, Inc. 14 IONOS SE 14 FranTech Solutions 11 Hostinger International Limited 10 Nubes, LLC
Half of fediverse servers are on networks that host 50 or fewer servers - that's pretty good for resiliency.
There is even more diversity when it comes to BGP prefixes, which is good for resiliency: for example, the cloud providers that have multiple availability zones will generally have them on different prefixes, so this gets closer to giving us a picture of the specific bits of infrastructure the fediverse relies on.
75% of fediverse servers are behind BGP prefixes that host 10 or fewer servers, meaning that the fediverse is *very* resilient to large network outages.
Top countries where fediverse servers are hosted:
871 United States 439 Germany 156 France 148 Japan 75 Finland 57 Canada 49 Netherlands 38 United Kingdom 26 Switzerland 26 South Korea 21 Spain 19 Sweden 18 Austria 17 Australia 15 Russia 12 Czech Republic 10 Singapore 10 Italy
We're the trusted source for IP address information, handling 50 billion IP geolocation API requests per month for over 1,000 businesses and 100,000+ developers
One thing that's interesting to me in this data is that there is actually *much* more consolidation on a few cloud providers in Europe than there is in the US. This is actually somewhat concerning. 81% of fediverse servers in Germany are at Hetzner, 73% of the servers in France are on OVH. By comparison, the most popular American provider, Digital Ocean, hosts only 14% of servers in the US. I don't know how representative this is of cloud usage overall (eg. Digital Ocean is definitely not the top cloud in the US) but it does certainly suggest much more centralization in Europe as compared to the US.
That is even more cocerning given the fact that Hetzner, for example, can block your account without any explanations (google for a Reddit thread about it, it's quite at the top of search results).
