Greg Kroah-Hartman, Fellow at the The #Linux Foundation!
We could think of no one more deserving of this Award than Greg - who has ensured through maintaining of different kernel subsystems and the Linux kernel stable releases that thousands of devices function seamlessly and securely.

"Open source is not free, we need to invest. If we want to build a strong leader in Europe, we need to inject money!"
Marc Palazon of Smile Group spotlights the need for investment in his closing statement.
Open Source alone won't deliver digital sovereignty. Europe must fix procurement and fund those who actually build it.Dries Buytaert

#StroongeCast E72: You've Changed youtu.be/1LisvaFbVTA
This week we're discussing how we've changed both as a couple and individually. It's hard to see change when you've been together for a long time, but when we actually sat down and talked about it, we did notice some things that we were surprised to realise.
Change is so gradual when you live with someone else, that it may not always be glaringly obvious that it's even occurring at all.

Did you noticed that there is a new Social Media App called "upscrolled"?
It turns out that there are a lot of anti-Semitic and Islamist people hanging around there, and some hateful, anti-Semitic texts have already been deleted.
Somehow, it was clear to me that various artists, for example from Bluesky, can now be found there.
I think it would be cool to have a server for Jewish artists. Everywhere you go as an artist, you encounter boycott, exclusion and hostility.
You have to constantly justify yourself.
People who give commissions tend towards zero because they don't want to be associated with you as an artist.

Sensitive content
Manchmal fühle ich mich bei so Sachen an die 90iger erinnert. Ein Großteil derer, die in den Jahren davor im Osten für eine andere Gesellschaft eingetreten sind, wurden durch eine Mehrheit mit anderen Zielen quasi überrannt... Da ist bei mir etwas Ernüchterung, nat. auch Enttäuschung, geblieben.
Technik löst solche menschlichen Probleme wohl nicht, trotzdem versuche ich mir mit Technik zu behelfen. 😆
Schon in Twitterzeiten hab ich #Listen intensiv genutzt, später auch bei Mastodon und seit ein paar Jahren mit Sharkey.
Die normale Timeline checke ich nur sporadisch, aber auch nur die der Follower. Die allg. Timeline betrachte ich so gut wie nie.
Und in den Listen habe ich überwiegend ReToots ausgeschaltet.
Baue ich mir damit eine heile Welt?
Ich denke, man muss sich darüber Gedanken machen, welche Ziele man verfolgt, und abwägen, was man leisten kann und möchte, auch Kräftemäßig.
Vielleicht ist dann eine positive Begegnung mit Einzelnen durchaus auch weitreichender.
Ich nehme den Vers aus dem Evangelium Wo zwei oder drei.. immer seltener als Entschuldigung für die Wenigen, als vielmehr als Ermutigung für die Kraft der Wenigen wahr ...
Yes, sorry about that. The server has been under heavy load the past few days due to thousands of bots trying to scrape the website, leading to increased timeouts.
It's bad timing, as this latest wave has coincided with the XMPP summit and FOSDEM in Brussels this week. But we're working on finding a solution!

@Tutanota Hey! Ich hab eine kleine Frage wie das bei Euch mit importierten E-Mails läuft.
Folgendes: Ich bin seit ca. einem Jahr auf dem Legend-Plan.
Da mein Speicherverbrauch aber immer nur zwischen 200 und 300MB oszilliert, hatte ich überlegt, auf Revolutionary downzugraden.
Ich hab gesehen, dass z.B. beim Switch auf einen Free-Plan auch alle importierten Mails aus dem Postfach gelöscht werden. Würde das beim Wechsel auf Revolutionary auch passieren? Da gibt's den Import ja (noch) nicht.
It seems like the era of DNS-based adblocking is over.
All the streaming & video sites work around or punitively block it. Recipe and news sites do the same. And because it was always a side channel, there’s no escalation for DNS-based systems to get on top again. The information is no longer being provided by the use of specific domains anymore (or their being null routed is easily detected).
This means active browser Adblocking is basically the only pub left in town.
This means commercial app environments like on phones and TVs are getting pretty hard to avoid ads in.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Yesterday, I got a Korg Monotron Delay. If anything can be said to be a synth fidget toy, that might be it, or at least a good start.
Gotta say, though, it's really, really noisy, which might actually be by design, at least in part, and very unshielded. It was picking up a bunch of digital hash from something which came and went as I moved it around. Turns out, it was my Airpods Pro.
Anyone have any experience with @Tutanota?
I created an account while on VPN and was told they needed to manually approve my account because people try to abuse their system using VPN.
Totally understand that. I was patient. Days later they denied me. Not with a notification, but by simply closing the account. Never even got to use it.
