OpenSearch
OpenSearch is a community-driven, Apache 2.0-licensed open source search and analytics suite that makes it easy to ingest, search, visualize, and analyze data.OpenSearch
https://ostechnix.com/opensearch-project-joins-the-linux-foundation/
We are proud to support the launch of the OpenSearch Software Foundation, a community-driven initiative that will support OpenSearch and its search software, which is used by developers around the world to build search, analytics, observability, and vector database applications. Hosted by the Linux Foundation, the OpenSearch Software Foundation will work with community maintainers and developers, as well as founding member organizations, to support the continued growth of OpenSearch.
Established in 2021 and previously hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS), OpenSearch has recorded more than 700 million software downloads and participation from thousands of contributors and more than 200 project maintainers. With the launch of the OpenSearch Software Foundation, AWS has transitioned OpenSearch under the Linux Foundation. The OpenSearch Software Foundation will focus on supporting OpenSearch as it continues to be adopted by organizations around the world to power business-critical workloads.

Ergänzung zum VIM Cheatsheet Blog Artikel - Navigation in Multilines
- j und k bei diesen runter und hoch “Movement” Bewegungs-Tasten ist noch wichtig zu wissen, dass sie immer Zeilenweise interpretiert werden.
Wenn also eine Multiline, also eine Zeile, die wegen ihrer Länge mehrfach umgebrochen wird, vorhanden ist, dann springt der Cursor visuell mehrere Zeilen runter oder hoch! Aber soll der Cursor visuell zwischen den Zeilen bewegt werden und damit im Prinzip innerhalb EINER Zeile, so geht das mit der zusätzlichen Taste g und damit mit gj und gk . Hier ist visuell nicht mit dem VISUAL Mode von vim zu verwechseln.

We used to write good documentation... (w/The Taylor and Amy Show)
In this unscripted episode of Veronica Explains, I hang out with my good friends Taylor and Amy from @TaylorAmyShow and we rant/rave about documentation, and compare the (often sorry) state of today's Linux/FOSS docs against the (often fantastic) documentation we had when vintage computers were just called computers.

I am somehow surprised that the actual Brazilian government still doesn't have an instance of some software compatible with activity pub.
Before leaving Brazil, I was part of a group engaged in open government data and civic hacking. I really hope these groups are still strong as they were a few years ago!
By the way, in 2011, I was advocating the City Council of São Paulo to have an identi.ca server, instead of Twitter. This didn't work, but at least I could open up some government data.

Ein Prozess, der Excel enthält ist kaputt.

Ein #OpenSource projekt das #Discord als discussionsplatform benutzt…
Ganz ehrlich .. das Programm Paperworks als Dokumentenverwaltung für kleine Betriebe zu empfehlen grenzt schon an passiv-aggressiv.
Das ist zwar nett, weil es Texterkennung und ein paar Sachen automatisch macht, aber sobald du über 50 Dokumente kommst, dann ist das Ding einfach komplett unübersichtlich. Als Spielerei oder als Proof of Concept für einen Nachmittag, um zu sehen, was damit gemacht werden kann = Super. Aber dann nimmt man eine Software die auch MENGEN in übersichtlicher Form darstellen kann. Aber niemals für den ernsthaften produktiven Einsatz. Das Ding skaliert Null!

@fsfe @openssf and @nlnetlabs are concerned that the term 'supplier' includes economic actors publishing #FOSS that are not a suitable counterparty for the type of reqs the draft imposes on NIS2 entities in their relation with direct suppliers.

Supply chain security obligations for NIS2 regulated entities vs. developers of open source software
How do supply chain security obligations under the European NIS2 legislation affect those that develop the Free and Open Source Software used by "essential providers" of digital infrastructure? An overview of the response to the public comment period…Team NLnet Labs (The NLnet Labs Blog)
The @EUCommission wants to know if their Digital Europe funding programme is working. The consultation is open to the public. You may want to comment on their attitude to #OpenSource, to #Federated systems or other aspects of emergent digital culture that company lobbyists won't be mentioning.
Ohne verpflichtende finanzielle Kompensation für Ausfälle oder schwerwiegende Sicherheitsvorfälle werden sie wie immer nur mit Marketing und minimal notwendigen Schritten reagieren. Das hatten wir bereits.
Wenn ihr wirklich mal etwas bewegen wollt, dann braucht es Lobbying für ein digital souveränes Europa, das massiv auf #FOSS (#opensource) setzt & entsprechende Gelder dort investiert.
Alles andere ist langfristig sinnlos, wie wir in Jahrzehnten gelernt haben.
I had an interesting conversation with some #Docker executives on Friday, in which they highlighted some changes to their terms of service / business model. TL;DR: enterprises are now expected to pay for a full Docker subscription for *any* access to any "Docker Platform" features, including Docker Hub, regardless of pull rate.
So, for example, if you're a company with > 250 employees or > $10M revenue, and you have a Linux box pulling one open source image a week from Docker Hub, you must buy a Docker subscription for that box. And any others.
Previously, their website verbiage was focused solely on usage of Docker Desktop by enterprises.
If you are an #OpenSource maintainer and you're publishing container images on Docker Hub, they are monetizing your images, and they're doing so via a flat monthly rate regardless of consumption level. (IMHO that rate is too high, but YMMV, I guess)
This is obviously their prerogative. Really my only request/suggestion to Open Source maintainers who publish container images would be to consider also publishing them on GitHub's container registry (aka GitHub Packages) or any other registry, rather than single-sourcing with Docker Hub.

I signed an open letter to the @EUCommission requesting continued funding of open source software innovation and maintenance via the @EC_NGI program.
Free and open source software is not free. Supporting it is vital to the EU economy and innovation competitiveness.
