At this point I'm very concerned about the open source industry relying so much on github. You have to remember that any project there can be swept away overnight because it doesn't fit into the agenca of a large company, for example.

DBOS revives the Database-Based Operating System approach, wants to compete with linux
Hey fellow linux enjoyers,
today I found this interesting article which talks about rethinking the underlying data structures of an OS. I was always very enthusiastic about DBFileSystems but this approach takes it even a step further.
It comes with some serious caveats though.

ListenBrainz - Track and share the music you listen to
Hello everyone
Yes I know, a few months ago a post with the exact same title was shared in this community by @test626@lemmy.ml. But this was at a time when lemmy was still quite small. I would like to give the topic new momentum.
From their wiki:
ListenBrainz is a project by the MetaBrainz foundation which allows you to publicly store a record of all of the songs that you listen to. Using this data, we provide statistics, recommendations, and a platform for you and other developers to explore this data.
Many of you probably use a music streaming service. You share your user data with the company anyway, and some of it with others. If you feel like it, you can make your data available to the general public and help other open source apps to build their services on this data.

ELI5: What is OpenStack? How to get started?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/10542663
Well to be precise:
- How does one install it? On a hypervisor? On a regular distro + KVM?
- Should I go with Proxmox/Debian/some other distro?
- I already installed Flatcar Linux, is this also suitable?

Solid - SSO (not only) for the fediverse
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/10530523
Hello folks,
TL:DR
- Solid enables a dencentralized, user owned data storage and SSO
- ActivityPods adapts its functionality to the fediverse
Slowly, things have smoothed out for the fediverse and it has become an everyday thing or even a new home on the internet for many of us. And yet I still don't feel that I can utilise the full potential of this network.
One of the biggest arguments in favour of the fediverse has always been that you can communicate with all other services regardless of which service you use and that it doesn't really matter where you register because you still receive all the messages. The reality is often disappointing.
Once registered with a service, you can communicate with all other services, but unfortunately often not in the format for which the other media were created. If you then try to log in to another instance with your acco

The "Steamboat Willie" debacle or: Why IP does us more harm than good
Hello frens,
As a great opponent of any form of IP, I have been following the event of Disney's Steamboat Willie entering the public domain with great amusement. The incidents where creators have been falsely demonetized on youtube for rightfully using this film is further underpinned by Disney's decades-long shameless practices. The linked article sums it up quite well I think.
To defederate or not defederate: user-based vs. server-based content filtering in the fediverse
Hello everyone
Since the announcement of threads to join the fediverse and the resulting discussions I have been thinking about the matter of content distribution and filtering in the fedi. Here is a possible solution to it.
In essence, one can distinguish between server-based
and user-based
content filtering.
server-based content filtering
regulates which instances federate with each other and which content is cached on the own instance.user-based content filtering
regulates what content the end user sees.
Content can also be categorized, for example, according to its origin. Sorted according to the quantity produced, there would be:
- instances
- communities/tags
- users/channels
From this I then derive the following behaviour:
server based content filtering
should be used when servers want to prevent certain content from being cached or when they want to set up a small exclusive gated community with a few selected federated instances.- `user-based con
Finally found a fix how to stop firefox downloading each PDF to your local drive
Hey guys
Today I got so annyed by firefox's default behaviour of downloading each and every PDF file to my disk that I went searching for a solution until I had the problem fixed. And it seems like I have finally found it. I have linked the solution but here is the fix in short:
- go to about:config
- change browser.download.open_pdf_attachments_inline to true
Thank you jscher2000 for the solution!

Cleaning up my digital presence - Meta endboss
Hey all
A few years ago, when I started my journey into the realm of open source, decentralisation and privacy as an ignorant, naïve young internet user, I had already registered with numerous companies without giving it much thought. I randomly signed up for services using my google and microsoft email addresses, which I opened when I was very young.
I have been struggling with this naivety and carelessness of my younger self for several years now. During this time I have gone through all the services I have ever registered for, requested my data everywhere, written dozens of emails, deleted my google account a year ago, then the amazon account, my apple account and yesterday now also the microsoft account, together with the email I have used the longest and replaced everything with open source, privacy respecting services.
Now there's only one big player missing, as you can imagine. Yes, Meta has me in its grip like no other company with its chat service WhatsApp. I myself would

Aye mateys, I wanted to share this with you as you may be interested in a discussion on having annas-archive linked to the fedi.

Hello everyone,
Books are still one of the most important sources of information we have as a human species. However, the media on which this information has been stored has changed considerably over time and with it its accessibility and influence on our society.
Nowadays you can find an enormous range of books and texts online. Most of the time, however, access to them is extremely fragmented, difficult to find, subject to a fee, incompatible with the software platform of your choice or, in the worst case, goes under with its provider over time.
To counteract this, annas-archive was founded to make the knowledge stored in the texts and books openly accessible and to preserve it for future generations. On the other hand, there are platforms such as Good

My list of services I still miss on the fediverse
Hello folks
I don't think I'm the only one here who thinks the fediverse is a great technology that connects people all over the world via a robust decentralised network. This network encompasses the widest range of interest groups and the most diverse ways of interacting with each other. Whether forum, video or image platform, whether books or music network, everything is part of one big whole.
Despite this diversity of possibilities, I personally still miss some services that I would like to share with you.
- dating apps - A decentralised, open source dating platform on which you can join instances according to interest groups or sexual preferences.
- git hosting - A platform where you can host your git repos and collaborate on software projects across instances. (Forgejo is already working on it)
- networking and personal profilation platform - A LinkedIn-like platform with instances by industry, interest or regio
