The investment will be used to strengthen the structural reliability and security of KDE’s core infrastructure, including Plasma, KDE Linux, and the frameworks underlying its communication services.
Use of AI tools for research and reverse engineering purposes is permitted. However, contributors are expected to fully own and understand all code they submit. Any communication with the team — including code, code comments, and GitHub comments — must come from the human contributor, not an AI agent acting autonomously.
I just got the new rclone version v1.74.0. It got a new gui command (rclone gui) that runs a web based gui. Its awesome. You can interact with all kinds of storage in it and edit all of your local configs. Since it is web based, you can also use the gui on a remote server and simply tunnel the port via ssh to your local machine.
Biometrics are physical or behavioral human characteristics to that can be used to digitally identify a person to grant access to systems, devices or data. It has the potential to make authentication dramatically faster, easier and more secure than traditional passwords, but companies need to be careful about the biometric data they collect.
service-lookup lets you automatically port forward all the required Kubernetes pods that you need for local testing and updating your URIs in property YAML files recursively.
Learn what a firewall is, why it is important, how it works, and firewall best practices. Learn how a firewall can ensure the data is harmless and prevent data from being stolen or compromised.
Terence Eden reports that the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) is preparing to close almost all of its open-source repositories as a response to LLM tools, such as Anthropic’s Mythos, becoming more sophisticated at finding security vulnerabilities. He does not, to put it mildly, agree with the decision:
Ghostty, a modern GPU-accelerated terminal emulator developed by Mitchell Hashimoto, is transitioning its active development away from GitHub due to ongoing reliability issues that have disrupted daily workflows.
In these uncertain and divisive times, we appreciate Anthropic offering support to the Blender project in the form of a Patron-level membership. This enables the Blender team to keep pursuing projects independently, and to focus on building tools for artists and creators.
In NetNewsWire 7.0.5 we made a change to get the feed image from RSS via the image element.
Weren’t we already doing this? Seems surprising that we weren’t!
It’s because, historically, these images were often rectangular — but the app wants square images. These days, probably due to the influence of mobile apps, images tend to be square, which is great. It means we can use these.
Note to feed publishers We suggest checking your feeds to see if they are supplying an image URL.
Germany’s Sovereign Tech Agency (Sovereign Tech Fund) has provided critical financial resources to open-source software projects and maintainers the past several years. This has proven to be an incredible effort and today they announced their newest initiative as the Sovereign Tech Standards.
David Steele, maintainer of the popular pgBackRest backup and restore project for PostgreSQL, has archived the project and announced that it is no longer being maintained.
If you’re unfamiliar with Surf Social it’s a pretty simple concept: It allows you to make feeds that incorporate RSS, BlueSky and Mastodon accounts (and thus some Threads accounts), podcasts (yes, also RSS but formatted appropriately), inter-network hashtags, and YouTube (and maybe more, I don’t have an exhaustive list). Peertube also works via RSS.
A friend and I wanted to use a Wiimote as a PC remote for movie night. We have tried various existing software, but all had some issues: some were old Xorg-only programs, some didn’t have proper IR tracking, and all were abandoned by the developer. But most of all, no software (even modern remappers like InputPlumber) had any support for key combos. So, we set out to write our own.
I’m looking to move my dad, who is not versed in technology, from Windows 10 to Linux. Windows 11 is not supported on his old laptops and given his computer usage I think it’s not worth to buy a new laptop just to be on Windows 11 with Slopilot. He uses Excel a lot, but only basic functionality, which any office suite can do. The problem is he is accustomed to the Ribbon UI and although he has LibreOffice on his other computer, he seems not to like it, I think he’s lost in its UI/UX. I would like to find an office suite for Linux that looks like MS Office. It doesn’t need any bells & whistles, basic spreadsheet and document functionality is enough. I’d like to move all his Excel spreadsheets to that new program.
The Kubuntu team is thrilled to announce the release of Kubuntu 26.04 LTS, codenamed “Resolute Raccoon”!

Carl Richell, the founder of System76, has shared that Colorado’s Age Attestation Bill (SB26-051) is set to be amended to exclude open source software from its requirements.
brief is a knowledge base of 516 tools across 54 language ecosystems, with a single Go binary in front of it that does the lookup and prints JSON when piped or a human summary on a TTY.
New York’s state budget could pass within days. Buried deep in the text is a provision that has nothing to do with balancing the books. Part C of the budget bill would require every 3D printer sold in New York to run surveillance software that scans every design file you create, and blocks anything an algorithm flags as a potential firearm component . A separate provision would expose researchers, journalists, and educators to felony charges simply for possessing or sharing certain design files.
I am looking for an RSS reader that is web based and preferably FOSS, I am trying to move from Vivaldi to Waterfox but I am using the Vivaldi RSS reader and need to switch to something else.
so i’ve been searching for a long time for an image tagging software, there are some tools out there, some are electron based so no thanks, then there’s Hydrus which is actually very similar to what this does, but the GUI is horrible and the installation is way more complicated. I created a docker compose file and I was running Blombooru in a few minutes. So if anyone was looking for something like this to organize their system, please give it a try because it is really good!
We have launched our wiki and forum that is built around collaboration on Libre projects. The aim is to create a community built around genuine and lasting connections, where people can work together on various projects across various disciplines - from artists to software developers…we hope to create a hub for skill-sharing and project creation.
After five years as open source champions, Cal.com is going closed source. This wasn’t an easy decision, but in the age of AI-driven security threats, protecting customer data has to come first. Cal.diy will continue as an open option for hobbyists.
There are a few opensource games out there, but many aren’t in distro repos, or for windows, or released on itch.io requiring an account to download, etc.
What could a open source game store for opensource games for all distros look like?
I’ve been tasked with ensuring accessibility of various PDFs my org puts out. Acrobat has some accessibility checks, but I don’t want to have to boot into Windows every time I need to check that staff correctly put in alt text and labeled their sections.
fakecloud is a free, open-source local AWS emulator for integration testing and local development. It runs on a single port (4566), requires no account or auth token, and aims to faithfully replicate AWS behavior.
