📦 New FeedEcho destination: GitHub. One user asked for it, so here it is.
FeedEcho can now publish feed items as markdown files straight into a GitHub repo. Connect a repo with a fine-grained PAT, then set a file path template and body template per echo. Front matter renders like any other template text, so your feed's tags land in the file. Existing files update in place, never duplicated.
Self-host or use the hosted version: https://github.com/jcrabapple/feedecho and https://feedecho.net

Hi BizzFed. I'm Jürgen. I got into IT in 1989 by writing software
documentation, before I owned a computer. I never stopped writing.
At LakeDrops, a small Drupal agency, I maintain ECA, a workflow engine on more
than 25,000 websites. Since July 2025 almost all my working time has gone into
open source. The community never got an invoice for that. In September it did.
More on that later.
So far I've only written for the Drupal crowd. Here I'm looking for people who
have never installed Drupal and still ask the same questions. How do I automate
work without chaining myself to a vendor? Which AI tools do I actually control?
Who pays for the open source my business runs on?
Who should I follow here who has nothing to do with Drupal?

Good day! Upcoming episode of Fireside Fedi!
Special Guest: @gabek@social.gabekangas.com
My name is Gabe and I'm here to say, I'm rockin on the mic every two or three days. I'm the maintainer and primary developer of Owncast. I'm generally always happy to talk to you about the project, it means a lot to me. I'm not on Mastodon, I'm on the Fediverse. So are you.

Hi Fediverse! I'm building Poweur ID, an open ID you hold yourself: a readable name (mine is romanman.poweur.net, or one on your own domain) with keys on your devices.
The same ID signs you in to apps (OIDC/IndieAuth), receives end-to-end encrypted messages and shares encrypted folders. Relays federate like email, and you can self-host one.
Pre-1.0, not audited, critique welcome: https://www.poweur.org

Hi everyone!
This is my first post here in the Fediverse.
Most of what I am and I do is already covered in my Bio, so I'll keep this short: I'm a FOSS developer and very often I'm into low level, reverse engineering and retrocomputing stuff.
Since 2017, I've been working on my own disassembler engine written in C to challenge myself and learn what it's like to build reverse engineering tools instead of just using them.
I'm looking forward to learning more and sharing knowledge with you all!

👋 Ciao Mastodon! Siamo Magazine Experiment, un magazine dedicato alla tecnologia raccontata con curiosità e spirito critico.
Parliamo di #AI, #WordPress, sviluppo web, #Cybersecurity e innovazione digitale, con analisi, guide ed esempi concreti.
🔎 Meno hype, più approfondimento.
🌐 https://magazine.andreaparenti.it
Non vogliamo solo condividere articoli: vogliamo confrontarci con voi.
💬 Quali temi tecnologici vi appassionano di più?
#Introduction #OpenSource
🌍 The EU has just published its "Tech Sovereignty" package, and Open Source is at the heart of the strategy!
The European Commission has finally placed free and open-source software at the center of its digital ambitions. This is a historic recognition of the values we defend every day on the Fediverse. 🏛️
What if you joined the conversation on a platform that concretely embodies this digital sovereignty?
👉 European Network Dynamics is a federated, open-source social network powered by Friendica, offering you what major platforms simply cannot guarantee:
✅ Your data belongs to you, hosted on independent servers
✅ No advertising algorithm dictates what you see
✅ You are connected to the entire Fediverse (Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Hubzilla, and many more)
✅ Friendica respects open standards ActivityPub and OStatus
✅ An engaged community, with no lock-in and no commercial surveillance
💬 Because talking about technological sovereignty on an American proprietary platform is a bit contradictory, isn't it?
Join us now and be part of a decentralized, open, and European internet, true to the open-source values that the EU itself recognizes today. 🚀

Don't summon the dark forces—just run NetBSD! Portable, clean, and reliable enough to wake the dead (or at least that 20-year-old ThinkPad in your closet). 💻🚩
Happy Halloween to all the BSD daemons out there! 😈🎃

Hi, I'm Wilson. I build Draugr, an open-source CLI that runs the security scanners you already use (Trivy, Semgrep, Gitleaks, govulncheck and others) and ranks what they find by how exposed and how critical each part of your app is. CISA KEV and EPSS can push up what's being exploited, or likely to be. Here to talk vulnerability management, AppSec and cutting down scanner noise.

Why is it so difficult to escape Android and build a truly open smartphone operating system?
On a PC, installing Linux is relatively straightforward. On a smartphone, it's a completely different story.
Proprietary drivers, closed firmware, locked bootloaders, vendor restrictions and hardware dependencies make it incredibly difficult for independent developers to build alternatives.
Android may be open source, but that doesn't mean the entire smartphone is open.
Projects like GrapheneOS, /e/OS and postmarketOS are working to change that, but they face significant technical and hardware limitations.
Understanding these obstacles helps explain why we still have so few real alternatives to mainstream mobile operating systems.
https://theprivacydad.com/why-is-it-so-difficult-to-build-an-alternative-operating-system-for-a-smartphone/
Should manufacturers be legally required to unlock bootloaders and document their firmware?

Even schaamteloos eigen werk promoten (voel je vooral niet verplicht te klikken). Ik heb na de #PHP-ellende van vorige week voor @NRC@nrc.social een verhaal gemaakt over #OpenSource en de financiering daarvan. Drie keer raden waar het lukte om contact te leggen met de hoofdpersoon @edorian@phpc.social. Dank ook aan @ronnylam@mastodon.social en @Brenno@mastodon.social https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/10/29/opeens-moest-de-slecht-gefinancieerde-stichting-achter-programmeertaal-php-keihard-aan-de-bak-a4939870 @wlaatje@social.edu.nl

The FreeBSD Foundation's AI-Assisted Vulnerability Discovery Project continues to explore ways to strengthen FreeBSD's security processes through improved tooling, automation, and community collaboration.
In the August and September 2026 project update, we share progress on several initiatives.

I had some thoughts on how to promote the #Fediverse, specifically with #stickers.
Here's my new blog post evaluating all the stickers for the #Fediverse and #Mastodon I could find: https://bammerlaan.nl/posts/Fediverse_promotional_stickers
There is absolutely no ill intent here—just some honest notes so our community-led promo stuff can hopefully compete better with Big Tech marketing budgets.
Tagging some of the creators I mention: @raphael@post.lurk.org @tommi@pan.rent @FediverseSymbol@typo.social @Mastodon@mastodon.social @municipaladhesives@kolektiva.social @andypiper@macaw.social @PaulaToThePeople@climatejustice.social @annie@social.lol
