Io sono notoriamente una puttana informatica: al lavoro pretendono io dica sempre "sì"¹ senza lamentarmi. E sviluppo software finanziario da decine di milioni di € per quel tipo di multinazionali che "non possono fallire". Pure proprietario. E gira su Linux solo perché ormai anche #ed ² devi farlo girare sul suo pod #kubernetes.

Ho anche scritto (ERESIA!!! una licenza software odiata dai migliori #gatekeeper dell'#OSI!

Dunque sono quanto di più lontano si possa immaginare da un "purista del software libero". O dell'open source.

Ma qui non si tratta di ideologia o rigore morale (che pure sono ottime qualità), bensì di consapevolezza cibernetica e autodifesa.

D'altro canto, la consapevolezza costa fatica: il cervello umano costituisce il 4% circa della massa del corpo ma consuma fino al 25% dell'energia!
Per questo, da sempre, deleghiamo il pensiero.
E per questo c'è chi è ben felice di essere trasformato in un ingranaggio alienato che pensa, compra e vota come "deve" perché "i servizi di #Google sono così comodi!", "#WhatsApp lo usano tutti!", "mica vuoi togliere ai ragazzi #Instagram!", "tanto non ho nulla da nascondere!" etc...

¹ ho infatti perfezionato rapidamente l'antica arte del rispondere "non lo so fare" oppure "io ci metterei 6-8 mesi con un team di 3 persone, ma se trovi qualcun'altro in azienda che sia disposto a provarci, gli spiego volentieri come fare" 😇

You might like the #HackingLicense that

* has already been adoped by a group of activists fighting agaist #BigTech in Italy
* scared as hell corporate gatekeepers from #OSI
* proved Irene's point about unsubstantiated corporate #FUD against "license proliferation" and "risks"
also proved that developers are still mick more open-minded and can read and accept a clear and simple #software license** for themselves as several contributors did back then

ETHZ and EPFL announced the release of a Large Language Model (LLM) developed on public infrastructure: Trained on the “Alps” supercomputer at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) in 8B and 70B parameters configurations, using open-source training data, respecting web crawling opt-outs during data acquisition, and natively fluent in over 1000 languages. Quoting: "The model will be fully open: source code and weights will be publicly available, and the training data will be transparent and reproducible".

I don't know how good it's going to be, but if true for me this is the real definition of "open-source" in AI (not the ridiculous, corporate-promiscuous definition by the Open Source Initiative).

Компьютерные сети для самых маленьких

Эта статья предназначена для тех, кто только начинает разбираться в IT и пока путается в терминах вроде IP, маски подсети, ISO, свичей, роутеров, TCP и UDP. Мы разберём основы максимально простыми словами — без углубления в детали. После прочтения вы сможете увереннее общаться с коллегами и понимать, о чём идёт речь, когда говорят про сети. Начнём с терминов, постепенно систематизируем знания и сведём всё к моделям OSI и TCP/IP. ⚠ Предупреждение для сениоров с чувствительной психикой: академические термины будут объяснены через простые аналогии. Базовые термины Сначала разберем термины, которые могут вам встречаться в документации, литературе и от "очень умных" коллег. Link (линк) – это просто соединение между двумя компьютерами. Чаще всего — обычный провод: витая пара (рис. 1) или оптоволокно.

OSI Policy Team

#OSI gave feedback to an #EU consultation on the #CyberSecurityAct (the law that created the EU Agency for Cybersecurity, #ENISA) We propose:

⚠️ Aligning the EU Vulnerability Database with the #CVE system, moving towards federated vulnerability reporting.

🧰 Expanding ENISA's public resources, especially Cybersecurity advice & Open Source Software recommendations.

💶 Supporting security audits, pentesting & bug bounties for core Open Source projects.

Our feedback: h1.nu/15r4X

@jmaris from the #OSI #EU policy team is present in Berlin today at the meeting of European Standardisation organisations on the #CyberResilienceAct.

Our aim is simple: make sure standards around the #CRA are written with the #OpenSource community in mind!

@osi But when will you publish the unredracted election results? codeberg.org/OSI-Concerns/elec @rakulang and #Perl foundation, @gnome with the rest of the #FOSS #FLOSS #OSS community demand that you publish them, why the silence? Several former #OSI directors too .. and #OSI members.

Jordan Maris 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 #NAFO

Really glad to see the #OSI's efforts highlighted here.

I worked as a Parliament staffer during negotiations on the #CyberResilienceAct, and can say with confidence that if it weren't for OSI, it's educational work, and its efforts to connect lawmakers with Open Source developers, the CRA would have been extremely harmful for the #OpenSource community.

saw some #networking curriculum just now that still includes the #OSI model and manual binary/hex conversion.

maybe it's because i haven't been a pure network tech/engineer for over a decade but i can count on one hand the number of times i needed to convert binary or hex and i had a computer with me for that. i never once needed to reference the OSI model for anything.

why are these relics still drilled so hard?

Alfred M. Szmidt

@osi Did you inform these 50 maintainers of how you refuse to publish the unredracted 2025 election results? That hundreds of #FOSS hackers have signed a petition for you to do so, including several foundational organizations -- @gnome @debian? codeberg.org/OSI-Concerns/elec #OSI #OpenSource #OpenSourceInitiative

I haven't talked with @mikemcquaid in a while, but I know him to be an honorable person & I am sure if he'd known about the #OpenSource Initiative's election debacle & their refusal to publish election results, he'd not have written this article for them.

That is the center of @osi's bad behavior: the cover-up is much worse than the crime (it's at least true for non-violent crime).

#OSI has succeeded in getting traction for their false narrative; I don't blame
@mikemcquaid for not knowing …

@mikemcquaid Can you help putting pressure on the @osi to publish the unredracted 2025 election results that the #OSI have refused to publish despite calls from the #FLOSS #FOSS #OSS community? codeberg.org/OSI-Concerns/elec the #OpenSourceInitiative has published the results since the start, but this year they refuse to be transparent in their election process. @downey @richardfontana @bkuhn
