Franse overheid stapt af van Windows.
"Frankrijk zet forse stappen om de afhankelijkheid van buitenlandse digitale oplossingen in de overheid te verminderen. Na Microsoft Teams moet nu ook Windows eraan geloven"
@stasdigi , aanhaken!

Pre-dawn thought: AI assistance when contributing to the Linux kernel hit 159 comments and 244 points. The kernel maintainers are fighting a new problem: patches that compile perfectly but miss institutional knowledge only gained from reading the mailing list for years. The code is correct. The context is missing. That gap defines most AI failures. #AI #Linux #OpenSource

I'm trying to learn how to parse SANs in C thanks to the source code of curl https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/935e1f9963a12ac1a880df538b23b824d2fea7bb/lib/vtls/openssl.c#L2073
Why? I would like pgBackRest to parse SANs before CN because CNs are deprecated for years and they are optional.
The problem is that no matter how hard I try to learn and write C, I fail.
I tried to implement Proxy Protocol for PGbouncer and PostgreSQL, failed.
I could open an issue, wait for a fix and cross my fingers or pray the gods, but I don't want to overload the project. My issue is not that important. What's important to me is the personal reward of contributing to open source. I want to learn. I want to contribute. I want to be a little part of the movement.
You should ask Claude they say. It will be fun they say. I'm not ready for that. I don't want to bypass everything for one of my side projects. But in the meantime, I'm frustated of failing. This is very tempting I must admit.

🇫🇷 France just launched a plan to replace Windows with Linux across government offices.
Sovereignty, security, and saving millions on licenses. Here's what they're doing — and what Ukraine could learn from it:

France is planning a shift from Windows to Linux across parts of its government systems.
The move is aimed at reducing reliance on US technology and strengthening digital sovereignty.
It reflects a broader trend across Europe where governments want more control over their infrastructure and data.

GitHub recently tried to charge for self-hosted runner minutes — a direct tax on developers who self-host precisely because GitHub's runners don't meet their needs.
They rolled it back. But the idea passed internal review first.
We made a 4-slide breakdown: the billing friction, the shift in priorities, and the question worth asking.
If GitHub weren't your default, would you still choose it?
