Ruth_Mottram - This is so cool! Not bad, strong swiss showing thanks to proton, but android is definitely the elephant in the room, and of course, the backend and lack of eurostack needs to go in there somewhere.

[email protected] - Ever since reading "Getting off US tech: a guide" by @parismarx last year, I wanted to build a little website where you could check the #software you're using and get some shareable text, showing how much is from the US. Now it's finally done 👇🏼🥳

What do you think? Will somebody use this? What did I miss, what is wrong? Any ideas?

"Cyberspace and analog space aren't independent from one another, and never will be. Whoever claims that cyberspace is a separate world is simply selling a political project in which corporations make the rules that govern our lives."

I'm going to have to revisit this again after I let it soak in a bit. Lots to digest here (for me, at least).

Even without seeing the talk at Minnebar by Paul Cantrell (@inthehands), this review/reflection/meditation by Matthew Tift (@mtift) moved me deeply.

In particular, I want to share it with my EU friends as they develop and revise their national tech and energy infrastructures to reduce their, um, supply chain risks.

Die Dokumentation meines #Stalwart-Upgrades 🚀 von Version 0.15.5 auf Version 0.16.2 ist nun verfügbar.

Und bitte beachten: Dass das so viel Aufwand ist liegt daran, dass hier größere Umstellungen in Hinblick auf die kommende Version 1.0 stattfanden. Normalerweise, und das soll dann auch zukünftig wieder so sein, ist das nur das Austauschen eines Binaries - fertig.

AI infrastructure is no longer a software problem. It is constrained by energy, water, and network realities.
This paper introduces the Feasible Sovereign Operating Region (FSOR), where AI can actually run under physical and regulatory limits, with joint optimization of compute and networks.

Upgrade auf neueste #Stalwart-Version erfolgreich 🚀🎉

Nach ein paar Fehlschlägen, weil der Port 443 mit anderen Diensten über einen vorgeschalteten HAproxy geteilt ist, läuft nun alles wieder 🤩

Mal sehen was ich nun zuerst mache:
- Upgrade-Doku blogen
- Stalwart-Vortrag für Samstag neu machen

Vielleicht sieht man sich ja in #Augsburg beim #LIT2026 der @lug_augsburg. Ich kann schon mal verraten es bleibt dabei - das Setup eines Mailservers mit Stalwart bleibt auch mit der neuen Version überraschend einfach!

Habe für das 📈 Upgrade (m)eines #Stalwart 📧 Mailservers auf v0.16.0 meine Vorbereitungen dokumentiert 📝.

Wegen der anstehenden v1.0 ist das nicht ganz so "easy-going" wie erhofft. Es wurde aber vom Entwickler zugesagt, dass Upgrades dann in Zukunft einfach sind.

Weitere Upgrade-Doku folgt dann noch zeitnah.

Practical #digitalsovereignity in #Europe::
- Governments in France, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Belgium have started rolling out in-house messaging services for officials to exchange sensitive information, in an effort to stop staff from using US-controlled apps and switch to local alternatives they can control.

I've said it before an I'll say it again: This entire project of identity verification with Apple/Google-account bound mobile devices is going to lead the continent down a dark, dark path into full technological submission to the US

Right in time for today's Digital Independence Day I am celebrating my one-year-anniversary of self-hosting this @gotosocial  instance and fediverse account.

Small resource footprint, easy to self-host and with a cute sloth as mascot + in combination with an awesome web client, @phanpy => an unbeatable duo:

Oh what a week in office land: not only #OnlyOffice vs. #EuroOffice (don't get me started on this one).

But also #collabora, main contributor to #LibreOffice, is kicked out of #TheDocumentFoundation, which leads them focusing on #CollaboraOffice. Not an April fool's joke although it sounds exactly like (a bad) one.

See Michael Meeks' post on this: https://www.collaboraonline.com/blog/tdf-ejects-its-core-developers/

Not exactly optimal, where we have a great window of opportunity to push further for #Digitalsovereignity

Headline in my TL: Google is making it easier to import another AI’s memory into Gemini

My head: Of course they are. 🤷‍♀️ #Google is an advertisement company making billions off every bit of data they can possibly get from each and every one of us. Their #Gemini #AI is Old-Google on steroids.

Context: https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/902085/google-gemini-import-memory-chat-history – I wouldn't recommend doing that. #TeamDatenschutz #DataPrivacy #DigitalSovereignity

Trump wants to cut all trade with Spain. Well: Does this also go for digital products from Microsoft, AWS, Google etc? And what does this mean for actions in terms of #digitalsovereignity for (other) european countries? www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...

Heute ist wieder Di.Day, der dritte digitale Unabhängigkeitstag. Und im Februar gab es eine Umstellung bei meiner E-Mail-Nutzung. Ich habe mich vom US-Dienst #Gmail abgekoppelt.

Meine E-Mails laufen jetzt über einen Server in einem deutschen Rechenzentrum. Somit bleiben alle Nachrichten, die ich mit anderen deutschen oder europäischen Servern austausche, in Deutschland bzw. Europa. Alle ein- und ausgehenden E-Mails werden zusätzlich nur noch TLS-gesichert übertragen.

Für alle, die auch zu einem deutschen oder europäischen E-Mail-Anbieter umsteigen möchten, gibt es hier ein einfaches Wechselrezept:
