Interesting talk by @jzb on the history of #OpenSource and parallelisms with other parts of history at the #cfgmgmtcamp

Very interesting talk by @richardfontana at #cfgmgmtcamp about freedom and Open Source licenses: why licenses are the way they are, and how the problem of Open Source AI should be thought to be more effective.

#FOSDEM 2026 Just started... It is going to be an interesting alcouple of days 🙂

I rewired my house with KNX, didn’t like existing automation stacks, and ended up building my own HTTP API + tooling for it.

🚀 New blogpost: I just renewed my Red Hat EX457 certification.

As an RHCA, it wasn’t a tough challenge, but it was interesting to see how the exam has evolved.

I recently moved fale.io to a different #DNS provider and started to use the #HTTPS resource record for my apex. This broke the #Matrix #federation on my domain, since I was leveraging the `/.well-known/matrix/server`, but the Matrix servers are not able to resolve the HTTPS resource record. I had to move to the SRV way, which has its own complexities. Hopefully the #Fediverse is more flexible on this :).

Today I discovered the RFC 9460 and therefore the SVCB and HTTPS resource records. Very interesting and useful innovation :)

Microsoft will delete your passwords from the Microsoft Authenticator in a month time (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/changes-to-microsoft-authenticator-autofill-09fd75df-dc04-4477-9619-811510805ab6). There is clearly a strategy at Microsoft to ensure their users understand they can not be trusted...

When buying a service, you're buying into someone's business model.

🧵 There's been a lot of noise about Fedora "dropping X11" — with some dramatic headlines and confusion spreading.
As a FESCo member involved in the decision, I want to clarify what actually happened, what it means (and doesn't), and address some common worries.

I've just migrated my #gts instance to a new machine... hopefully I've copied all data properly 😆

Very interesting the various maladaptive diagnostic cases at #cfgmgmtcamp

Today, at #cfgmgmtcamp at 16:00 room B.1.014, I'll be discussing how to leverage Event-Driven #Ansible to reduce your automation reaction time. Join me to discover how #EDA can help you too! https://cfp.cfgmgmtcamp.org/ghent2025/talk/BTV9U3/
