The AI-designed car is taking shape

@buersten
Also ich kann Euch nur zu diesem Schritt gratulieren!

Ich bin hier schon lange einen "Schritt weiter" gegangen, und hoste seit mittlerweile 25 Jahren meinen Mailserver für privat und Unternehmen/Beruf selbst, und habe damit absolut keine Probleme.
Seit dieser Zeit arbeite ich sowohl privat als auch im Unternehmen ebenfalls fast ausschliesslich auf #Linux und anderen #OpenSource Produkten.
Angefangen hat es bei mir mit dem Ersatz von MS Office; ich bin um die Jahrtausendwende auf #StarOffice umgestiegen (welches ich davor schon unter #DOS genutzt hatte).

Atlassian Data Center is reaching its end in 2029.

For some teams, cloud is fine.
For others, especially with hosting or compliance constraints, it’s not.

So the question is: What’s the alternative?

What replaces what?
What changes in practice?
What are the trade-offs?

A useful white paper from Open Source Experts (with XWiki & Tuleap) breaks this down:

Pro-Grade Ham Radio Displays: Integrating OpenHamClock into PiSignage

758 words, 4 minutes read time.

A Helping Hand Needed for a Fellow Programmer

I’m reaching out to see if you can lend a hand to a talented software developer who’s currently on the job hunt. With over 30 years of experience in C#, .NET (Core/6–8), REST APIs, SQL Server, Angular/Razor, Kubernetes, and cloud CI/CD, he’s a seasoned pro with a proven track record of leading modernization projects and delivering production systems.

Some of his notable accomplishments include DB2 to SQL migrations, building real-time SignalR apps, and developing full-stack API and frontend projects. Based in Southeast Michigan, he’s looking for senior engineering, architecture, or technical lead roles that will challenge him and utilize his skills.

If you’re in a position to help, you can check out his resume and portfolio at http://charles.friasteam.com.

Let’s all look out for each other – if you know of any opportunities that might be a good fit, could you please consider passing this along to your network?

If you are a ham radio operator, you know that a HamClock is the ultimate shack companion. But what if you want to move beyond a dedicated small screen and integrate that data-rich display into a professional digital signage environment?

By using PiSignage, you can rotate your HamClock with other station metrics, weather, or club announcements. However, getting a clean, secure, and “pop-up free” experience requires a few tricks.

In this post, I’ll show you how to deploy OpenHamClock using Docker and how to strip away the UI clutter for a seamless kiosk experience.

The Setup

To follow along, you will need a PiSignage server instance. I personally run mine as a Docker container, which keeps the server stack isolated and easy to back up.

1. The Docker Compose Configuration

PiSignage and modern browsers often require secure contexts (HTTPS) for certain features. Since the standard HamClock output is HTTP, we’ll use a two-service setup: the clock itself and a lightweight SSL-wrap sidecar using socat and openssl.

docker-componse.yml

 services:    openhamclock:      image: ghcr.io/accius/openhamclock:latest      container_name: openhamclock      expose:        - "3000"      environment:        - CALLSIGN=<CALL SIGN>        - LOCATOR=<Grid Square Locator>        - THEME=dark        - UNITS=imperial      restart: unless-stopped     ssl-wrap:      image: alpine      container_name: hamclock-ssl      ports:        - "3000:3000"      command: >        sh -c "apk add --no-cache socat openssl &&                openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /tmp/key.pem -out /tmp/cert.pem -days 365 -nodes -subj '/CN=localhost' &&               cat /tmp/cert.pem /tmp/key.pem > /tmp/combined.pem &&               socat OPENSSL-LISTEN:3000,cert=/tmp/combined.pem,verify=0,fork,reuseaddr TCP:openhamclock:3000"      restart: unless-stopped

2. Silencing the “What’s New” Pop-ups

When using HamClock as a signage element, you want it to be “set and forget.” The “What’s New” slide-ins are helpful for desktop users but ruin a clean kiosk display.

While there is a formal change request pending for a toggle, you can currently “force” these elements to stay hidden by injecting a bit of CSS directly into the distribution files. Run this command within your app environment:

find /app/dist -name "*.css" -exec sh -c 'echo "div[style*=\"whatsNewSlideIn\"], div[style*=\"backdrop-filter\"] { display: none !important; }" >> {}' \;

3. Setting Up the Slide in PiSignage

Once your containers are humming along, you need to tell PiSignage how to display the clock.

Create the Weblink Asset

  1. Log in to your PiSignage Admin Panel.
  2. Navigate to Assets > Add > Weblink.
  3. Fill in the details:
    • Name: OpenHamClock
    • Link Address: https://<YOUR-HOSTNAME>:3000/?kiosk=true
  4. Click Save.

Pro Tip: The ?kiosk=true suffix is critical. It tells HamClock to hide its own internal menus and headers, giving you a dedicated, high-contrast dashboard perfect for a wall-mounted display.

Deploy to Your Player

  1. Go to Playlists and add your new “OpenHamClock” asset.
  2. Set the Duration: Set this to 0 for a permanent display, or a high number (like 300 for 5 minutes) if it’s part of a rotation.
  3. Go to Groups, select your player, and deploy the playlist.

Your screen should refresh and show a beautiful, clean HamClock interface within seconds!

Running PiSignage in Docker?

For those of you looking to keep your entire server stack contained, running the PiSignage central server in Docker is the way to go. It keeps your host OS clean and makes management a breeze.

Call to Action

Getting this stack to play nice wasn’t a “one-and-done” install. It was a hard-fought process that took multiple attempts to finally crack the code on bypassing those “What’s New” screens and forcing a clean kiosk display. But the victory is in the uptime.

Don’t just lurk. If you’ve got the guts to show how you’re rebuilding your station on the wreckage of the old ways, drop a comment below. How are you occupying the victory today?

The Shared Library Trap
You launch a program and get error while loading shared libraries: libxml2.so.16 or similar. I have seen many of those lately on Reddit.
You know something is missing, but you have no idea which package owns that specific file.
Simply run Mend. It will find it and offers to install it immediately. Don't reboot into a black screen; fix the dependency while the terminal is still open.

Why your bash config behaves differently

If your aliases or variables work sometimes and fail sometimes, it’s usually not random.

It’s the shell type and which file got loaded.

This breaks it down simply.

Het is 2026 en voor het bouwen van een data pipeline zijn Azure en AWS opeens uit de gratie omdat we onze data uit handen van een autocraat willen houden. Maar wat zijn de alternatieven?

Op de NLUUG voorjaarsconferentie van 7 mei 2026 gaat Marcel-Jan Krijgsman ( @MarcelJan ) bespreken hoe je een datalakehouse kunt bouwen in de Europese cloud. En meer: PySpark, notebooks en datavisualisatie. Is dat allemaal mogelijk?

Kijk voor het hele programma op nluug.nl/evenementen/nluug/voo
Schrijf je in voor deze dag en we zien je op de voorjaarsconferentie!

#NLUUG is dé vereniging voor (professionele) gebruikers van UNIX/Linux, #OpenSource, #OpenSystemen en #OpenStandaarden in NL.
