It is not enough to deal with stupid people on the internet; now I have to contend with those who think everything online is a great threat, leading to endless discussions and bans.

I increasingly want to engage less with the #FLOSS world since there seems to be no cozy place to be.

Beim letzten Mal sind viele durch die Snowden Enthüllungen aufgewacht und wieder eingeschlafen...

Jetzt gibt es ein Trump/Musk Momentum...

Das nächste Erwachen kommt, wenn 80% in virtuellen Metaversen rumhängen oder das Neuralink Implantat zwickt

Besser gleich... #unfollowBigTech

@gedankenstuecke I don't see why it matters at all. Most people probably don't realize the OSI exists at all. Despite being a Linux user since 1998, I certainly don't check with the OSI before referring to something as open source or not.

@itsfoss yes, but only if they remove #cyberfacist, make it #FLOSS, #mandatory and choose #KISS over optics.

Gemeinsam mit @heinleinsupport, @mailbox_org und @OpenCloud waren wir auf den Chemnitzer Linux-Tagen. Danke an alle, die mit uns über freie, sichere Kommunikation und digitale Souveränität gesprochen haben!

Gerade jetzt müssen wir das europäische Open Source Ökosystem stärken. Lasst uns gemeinsam daran arbeiten!

Zwei Personen stehen vor dem Messestand der Heinlein-Gruppe. Die Person, die rechts steht, hält der anderen Person ein Mikrofon entgegen.

Eine Person steht in einem Hörsaal vor der Leinwand. Diese zeigt die Aufschrift "OpenCloud. Wir freuen uns auf viele gute gemeinsame Gespräche".

#RescueZilla is a beginner-friendly tool to backup, image, clone, restore and resize all sorts of disks from e.g. a bootable usb-thumbdrive.

It is under active development and based on #CloneZilla (among others) and #GPartEd.

Especially useful together with #Ventoy.

( Windows users mind that it does not support bitlocker encrypted #partition‍s).

Screenshot of RescueZilla's start-up window: It features five large buttons in two rows. First row has the buttons for Backup and Restore, second row buttons for Clone, Verify Image and Image Explorer (beta feature).
