De ongeveer 30.000 werknemers van de lokale overheid gebruiken nu niet langer Microsofts mailserversoftware Exchange en mailclient Outlook. Het gaat om ambtenaren op alle niveaus, maar ook om politiemensen en rechters. De minister van Digitalisering Dirk Schrödter verklaart dat de deelstaat onafhankelijk wil worden van grote techbedrijven en de digitale soevereiniteit wil waarborgen. "Nu kunnen we ook zeggen: missie geslaagd op het gebied van e-mailcommunicatie."

Duitse deelstaat voltooit migratie van Exchange en Outlook naar opensource
De Duitse deelstaat Sleeswijk-Holstein is voor de eigen e-mailomgeving geheel over van Microsoft Exchange en Outlook naar Open-Xchange en Thunderbird. De migratie weg van Microsoft is in april vorig jaar ingezet en heeft volgens de premier van deze deelstaat een voorbeeldfunctie.

Fine-grained CDN Delegation
The use of Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) has significantly increased over the past decade, with approximately 55 million websites currently relying on CDN services. Emerging solutions, such as Delegated Credentials (RFC 9345), lack fine-grained definitions of many critical aspects of delegation, such as the length of delegation chains, revocation mechanism, permitted operations, and a well-defined scope for said delegation. We present Delegation Certificates (DeCerts), which modify X.509 cer…

Accelerated prediction of dielectric functions in solar cell materials with graph neural networks
We present an atomistic line graph neural network (ALIGNN) model for predicting dielectric functions directly from crystal structures. Trained on $\sim$7000 dielectric functions from the JARVIS-DFT database computed with a meta-GGA exchange-correlation functional, the model accurately reproduces spectral features, including peak intensities and overall line shapes, while enabling efficient high-throughput screening. Applied to the recently developed Alexandria materials database, containing ove…

ISTB University of Vienna on Instagram: "We are deeply honoured and delighted that the South Asian, Tibetan, and Buddhist Studies Library has been selected as one of the distinguished institutions to receive the eighty-volume commemorative edition of the Tipitaka, published in Thailand in 2016 to mark the seventieth anniversary of His Majesty King Bhumibol’s accession to the throne. The Thai monarchy has long upheld a well-established tradition of commissioning, presenting, and receiving editions of the Pali Canon. In 1893, King Rama V commissioned the first printed edition of the Tipitaka in Thailand, which was subsequently presented as a gift to institutions in more than twenty-five countries. The 40-volume “King Bhumibol Edition” allows monks and Buddhist laity worldwide to chant the Tipiṭaka in a consistent, rule-based manner. It is accompanied by the 40-volume “Queen Sirikit Edition” which reproduces King Rama V’s use of Syām-Pāli annotation with additional notes. The ISTB library provides an ideal home for this new edition of the Tipitaka. With a collection of more than 70,000 volumes in over ninety Asian languages, it serves as a vital centre for research and teaching in South Asian, Tibetan, and Buddhist Studies at the University of Vienna."

Der lustigste Fakt zum Hamburger Klima-Volksentscheid ist, dass die Handelskammer Hamburg offenbar schon vorher theoretisch dafür war, bis 2040 klimaneutral zu werden, aber dann irgendwie die Dialektik schaffen musste, zu begründen, warum sie natürlich trotzdem auf jeden Fall gegen den Volksentscheid sind und dessen Folgen ganz schlimm wären.

Accent-Invariant Automatic Speech Recognition via Saliency-Driven Spectrogram Masking
Pre-trained transformer-based models have significantly advanced automatic speech recognition (ASR), yet they remain sensitive to accent and dialectal variations, resulting in elevated word error rates (WER) in linguistically diverse languages such as English and Persian. To address this challenge, we propose an accent-invariant ASR framework that integrates accent and dialect classification into the recognition pipeline. Our approach involves training a spectrogram-based classifier to capture …

Free to Move: Reachability Types with Flow-Sensitive Effects for Safe Deallocation and Ownership Transfer
We present a flow-sensitive effect system for reachability types that supports explicit memory management, including Rust-style move semantics, in higher-order impure functional languages. Our system refines the existing reachability qualifier with polymorphic \emph{use} and \emph{kill} effects that record how references are read, written, transferred, and deallocated. The effect discipline tracks operations performed on each resource using qualifiers, enabling the type system to express owners…
