#digitalsovereignity — Public Fediverse posts

Let us have a thousand servers, a thousand networks. Let us flood them with possibilities until they run out of time and money to pursue and persecute us.

While the #Grünen might have resources, most of them are tied up in defensive battles right now. Germany currently faces a two-pronged propaganda attack from Russian-sponsored and American-sponsored fascists (not that there is much difference, these days), and while the fascists aren't running either the federal or any state-level governments yet, the latter might occur before the year is over.

And the Greens _are_ the primary political target of the fascists - that is to say, the fascists attack the Green Party more than any other parties (including attacks on party offices, although fortunately this was limited to property damage... so far).

I don't _think_ German political parties sponsor #FOSS projects directly, though others might know more about this than I do. Perhaps @netzbegruenung knows more.

However, if in government they can certainly provide public funding for such projects - I believe #Mastodon has accessed such funds in the past. And the Greens certainly are in favor of #FOSS projects and projects, which has become all the more important for #DigitalSovereignity these days. It has _not_ gone unnoticed how the USA has treated members of the #ICC , and the overreliance of Europe and Germany on US digital infrastructure is now seen as a major security risk.

From Code to Process: agentic AI turns open source code and traces into BPMN models that steer how we work.

The loop: traces inform diagrams, diagrams reveal what to improve, improvements produce new traces.

The irony stings: 'Digital Sovereignty' tied to foreign app stores, and 'security' meaning surveillance.
👉 These contradictions do demand deeper explanation.

To what degree is this translating into action, with organizations migrating away from US cloud providers? “The interest is gigantic."

@FusionPartyAus Hmm.. first I've seen a political party post about this! Do you guys support a gradual transition to #FreeSoftware / #OpenSource / #gnuLinux in Australian public and education sector?

Also, curious if any of you happen to be daily driving #Linux on either PC or phone?

Thanks.

Starting from the top, #EU implements #digitalsovereignity
--- #Qwant will replace #Google as default search engine on European Parliament computers,” officials told lawmakers in an email. The change is being made “in line with the Parliament's commitment to digital sovereignty and the protection of users' personal data.”

As I've said, I want to make a version of my "My Tech"-site, but this time not for country of Origin, but Open vs. Closed Source.
But before I start, I need two emojis for both. Any ideas? I really think the emojis are important and they should be easily recognizable. What can I use for #OpenSource and what for #ClosedSource?

Best news of #today, and probably of the recent period. Our government is blocking the sale of the hoster of #DigiD after all!

All our fighting to keep the data of milions of #Dutch citizen outside of foreign hands has paid of. Time to party 🥳🎉🎉🎉 .

Important contribution by #HateAid to #rp26, reminding us how civil society needs robust #EUAlternatives in tech, finance and social media to maintain their independence.

#Europe needs to stay united, apply its the tools like the #DSA consistently. The adversities we face indicate to me that we are on the right path!

We need more and more people and companies working on digital solutions that don't come from Palo Alto California USA.

Definitiv nicht #neuHier, aber jetzt mit einem eigenen beruflichen Profil.

Nachdem ich mich über die toten, kalten Augen der Leute auf der letzten DevOpsDays Konferenz amüsiert hatte, als ich sagte, dass ich weder bei LinkedIn noch bei Xing bin, fiel mir dann aber auch auf, dass ich außer meiner E-Mailadresse keinen echte öffentliche Kontaktmöglichkeit habe und vor allem nicht im schönen Fedi. 🥰

Deshalb poste ich jetzt hier über meine Arbeit als Senior DevOps Architect bei der devoba GmbH. Da unterstütze ich meine Kund*innen in den Themenbereichen Infrastructure-As-Code, Automation, CICD, Clouds etc.

Gerade stoße ich in die Richtung Digital Sovereignity vor, um Kund*innen bei der Unabhängigkeit von BigTech zu unterstützen oder sie mit sauberen Lösungen bei dem Weg zurück nach onprem zu begleiten.

Zudem bin ich schon seit Langem in der Open Source-Entwicklung und -beratung verwurzelt und poste hier dann auch mal über meine kleinen privaten Projekte in dem Bereich und wie Kund*innen Open Source effizient einsetzen können.

Ich freue mich über einen interessanten und schönen Austausch.

Allgemein bin ich unter anderem interessiert an folgenden Themen:

Mistral CEO Mensch has repeatedly touted sovereignty and #Europe's independence from American #AI companies as central to Mistral's open-source strategy, saying recently that governments increasingly want AI systems they can control independently of US tech giants. #bigtech #digitalsovereignity

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).

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.
