Happy 34th birthday Linux!
I spent the early morning hours watching Brian Kerninghans talk at VCF East 2025 about the history of Unix (the grandfather of Linux)

There is more to #opensource than just the license and the IsItReallyFOSS website does an amazing job showing that in practice. If you're interested in #Sustainable #FOSS projects, check out my piece on @FOSSForce and share it with people who should know!

⚡💎 I needed an in-memory replacement for `Storage` (`localStorage` and `sessionStorage`) to use in unit tests and Storybook. StackBlitz has a #Vitest project template. The result is at https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitest-in-memory-storage

Wir freuen uns sehr, dass wir am Stand vom @zendis die Integration unserer #OpenSource Lösung #Nubus in openDesk zeigen können.
Und wir sind jetzt schon sehr gespannt auf die Gespräche mit IT-Verantwortlichen aus der Öffentlichen Verwaltung.
Denn das Thema Digitale Unabhängigkeit von Deutschland und Europa ist vor der geopolitischen Lage drängender denn je.

The Vulcan decoders are a fantastic addition to the Arsenal of ffmpeg. If a codec is specifically designed to run in parallel it can be implemented in the Vulcan 🖖 way
The speed up with these codecs can be significant

Daniel Stenberg, der Erfinder von curl ist gerade überall. Nicht nur Menschen die ihm schreiben viel Menschen. Leider viele Quatsch. Noch schlimmer Leute per AI bugs Reporten. Aber es gibt auch die sehr schönen Mails… #opensource #ossummiteu

Many apps have code that is closed and not visible publicly. Other apps like CoMaps, have code that anyone can see and use. What makes open-source apps great?
Transparency: You or any developer can peek under the hood, see exactly what happens and how your data is handled.
Community Power: Developers worldwide collaborate, spot bugs faster, and add cool features you’d never get from closed-source code project.
Innovation: Because anyone can improve or fork the project, ideas evolve quickly— crowdsourced creativity.
Freedom: No lock‑in, no hidden fees, and you keep control of your digital life.
Open‑source apps turn “users” into co‑creators, making software safer, smarter, and more adaptable for everyone.

This release of ffmpeg is the largest release to date.
Just reading over the features, all the new native decoders, a lot of work has been done. It is so much you just have to take the time to read it yourself
In case you did not know yet
Netflix uses freeBSD to stream their video data globally with ffmpeg as their master orchestrator
