Super happy to see the open source sysdiagnose joining the hackathon.lu held in Luxembourg on April 8th and 9th, 2025.
sysdiagnose is an open-source framework developed to facilitate the analysis of the Apple sysdiagnose files and especially the one generated on mobile devices (iOS / iPadOS). In the light of targeted attacks against journalists, activist, representatives from the civil society and politicians, it empowered incident response team to review device behaviour and ensure th…

Yesterday I got for myself the #book "The Ecology of Freedom" (a Spanish translation, I quite liked this particular edition ).

We imported the data from Black Basta Ransomware group leak into AIL and there are many interesting aspects.
The federation network of Matrix servers (see the screenshot) used to communicated among the affiliates/group(s).
Activities in the chat room, especially the daily activity view in AIL. Guessing the location and timezone of groups or affiliates is an endless source of information.
They rely on many open-source and SaaS tools, including Googl…

Rant about PHP
You know a technology is declining when the most basic questions about its most bizarre quirks are left completely unanswered for years.
#PHP is like that. Every day I have many of these questions. I look for them. No one asked them before, no one wrote about them before.
I'm baffled by the lack of curiosity and proactivity of its community.
I know it sounds like me piling up on people I don't know anything about, but I used to invest a lot of time programming in PHP. I went to conferences, I made some open source libraries for it, like a PHP kernel for Jupyter Notebooks, I even made a library to work with dataframes, tensors and matrices in PHP (although I lost this one because my laptop was stolen before I released... and I didn't had it in me to rewrite it again).
Then, the ones who I admired the most in that space, like Nikita Popov, started leaving it to work in more intellectually vibrant communities... and it shows.
I'm sure Nikita Popov would be much more gracious than me when talking about it. I can only speculate about his motivations, but at least I can tell you about mine: It was precisely about that same lack of curiosity and creativity that I mentioned before, it felt unbearably grey and sad.

"Simultaneously to Steve Jobs’s introduction of the iPhone in January 2007, Google started publishing a series of blog posts called “Testing on the Toilet”. On May 15th, 2008, this series featured a famous issue: “TotT: Using Dependancy Injection to Avoid Singletons.” The writing was literally on the wall of toilets worldwide: Singletons are bad™®©. Sadly, the much more exciting idea of dependency injection contained in the article got lost in the minds of most readers."

Could anyone spare a "Like" for these kids who are trying to plant some seeds of Open Source in the USA Midwest?

Happy , today I deployed a #Forgejo instance to manage my private code projects. I won't be using #Github anymore for my stuff, only to contribute to 3rd party projects.
I still have some pending work to configure the CI workers, but I'll leave that for next week.
Along the way I've learnt some stuff about #OpenTofu and networking. Enough to know that I still prefer to be on the dev side of the "devops" .

#Tesla shares are kind of slowly recovering their past price.
I suspect it's not just people "buying the dip", but also "the market" reacting to boycotters being caught.
Please, be careful, be smart, don't get caught.
