#freesofware — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #freesofware, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Back in 2022, surrounded by colleagues who were infused with "open source scepticism", I wrote "Open Source in Enterprise Environments - Where Are We Now and What Is Our Way Forward?" nxdomain.no/~peter/opensource_ as an explainer.

    Hopefully a useful thing for others too, with links therein #freesofware #opensource #enterprise #openbsd #freebsd #netbsd #linux

  2. There will be a "Network Management with the OpenBSD Packet Filter Toolset" at AsiaBSDCon in Taipei Thursday, March 19 2026.

    Yours truly and Max Stucchi teaching networking goodness.

    Details soon to emerge at 2026.asiabsdcon.org/ #asiabsdcon #freebsd #openbsd #networking #conference #tutorial #pf #packetfilter #security #firewall #freesofware #libresoftware @stucchimax

  3. 🔥 La fondation #Mozilla en pleine dérive (selon moi) :
    ➡️ Financement à ~85 % par #Google (pas nouveau)
    ➡️ Évolution inquiétante de la privacy notice de #Firefox en 2025
    ➡️ Firefox bientôt dopé à l’#IA, annoncé par le nouveau boss de la fondation
    🤷 De + en + difficile de faire de #Firefox une vraie alternative aux navigateurs des #GAFAM.
    🚀 Mon combo actuel grâce à 2 forks : #LibreWolf (desktop) + #Fennec (mobile)

  4. Happy Deepavali!

    💻✨🎆🪔

    May the light of Libre Software shine bright this Deepavali — spreading knowledge and freedom, and driving away the darkness of unethical proprietary software!

  5. "Recent and not so recent changes in OpenBSD that make life better (and may turn up elsewhere too)" nxdomain.no/~peter/recent-and- and "The Impending Doom of Your Operating System Going to or Past 11, Versus the Lush Oasis of Open Source Systems" nxdomain.no/~peter/blog_wild_w - two 2021-vintage pieces of mine that are still relevant, unfortunately/fortunately #openbsd #windows11 #freesofware #libresoftware #softwarefreedom #sovereigncomputing

  6. #LibreLocal meetup in Switzerland: meet other #freeSofware enthusiasts, learn more about the #FSF and its campaigns and try a #GNULinux system on the occassion of the GNULinux Presentation Day and set up your local currency with #GNU #Taler.

  7. I always conclude my bug reports to #opensource projects, or even my first followup message to a bug report filed by others, with a sentence like: "Thanks a lot for maintaining PROJECT, it's amazing!".

    It's a little gesture, but it goes a long way.

    When you use #freesofware made by others, remember that it is first of all a *gift* that they are giving to all humanity (and you among them), and only second a software product with defects and avenues for improvement.

  8. New Linux-libre releases are here! Versions 6.12.5-gnu, 6.6.66-gnu, 6.1.120-gnu, 5.15.174-gnu, 5.10.231-gnu1, and 5.4.287-gnu1 are now squeaky-clean & freedom-respecting! Together, we're proving software freedom is unstoppable. Let's rally for the FSF's fundraiser to hit $400,000 by Dec 31: fsf.org/appeal 🌟 Every donation fuels freedom's future! Keep hacking, keep sharing, and keep being free! fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linu #FreeSofware #SoftwareFreedom #FSF #GNU #Linux

  9. #RightToRepair is cool. It means you have rights to own and reuse what you buy, but also to understand how it works. It means you can create job opportunities and have a better impact on sustainability and escape vendor lock-in and planned obsolescence. Plus, most things can be repaired at home with just a little bit of skills and tooling. As a #FreeSofware person this is something I fully appreciate. #PhotoMonday #MastoArt #Photography flic.kr/p/2qs7nom

  11. Reach the @EUCommission to ask for sustainable funding for #freesofware ‼️

    As individual, contacting European representatives is helpful to shift opinions. As the allocation of funds for #HorizonEU 2025 is still going on, there is still a chance to get funds available for @EC_NGI

  12. Ready for @FrOSCon? We cannot wait to see you there!

  13. #Debian just published a press release with updates about Daniel Pocock's campaign of aggression against @debian and #FreeSoftware #OpenSource contributors.
