I'm ready for the next eclipse! 🤓

Wir wurden von @Obstturnier gefragt, ob wir etwas zum #Eisturnier beisteuern können. Und ja, wir sind fündig geworden:

Ob es Schoko, Erdbeer oder Vanille ist, können wir nicht sagen. Fest steht aber: Am meisten Speiseeis wird innerhalb der EU in Deutschland produziert. 608 Millionen Liter waren das 2025. Damit lag Deutschland vor Italien (549 Millionen Liter) und Frankreich (525 Millionen Liter) an der Spitze der EU-Staaten.

Hättet ihr das gedacht?


Frequently Asked Questions

1. what the fuck

I’ve been working on this one for a few weeks. Let me know what you think!

#OSS #Burnout

Thankfully I found what actually makes it work, but that means I really can't reproduce the issue (and also can't see how it could ever happen either).

Hooray? 😅

It has been 0 days since I looked at a bug, then looked at the implementation details and wondered why things EVER worked the way they did (and still do!)

Obviously a case of "You are missing something crucial here, Gina", but that's going to require some detective work...

One of the most realistic things about Stardew Valley is how a single, short social event can eat up your entire day.

Großartiger Vortrag von @foosel auf der @FrOSCon. Wer einmal einen Einblick haben möchte, was es bedeutet, Maintainer eines #FLOSS-Projektes zu sein, sollte sich das anschauen oder anhören.

Und: Ceterum censeo GenAI esse delendam

@foosel I debate how to talk about chatbots in Latin here https://www.bookandsword.com/2026/03/25/what-should-we-call-the-appeal-to-chatbot-in-latin/

„Link in neuen Tab öffnen“?
Bei den RAM-Preisen?

Need some advice/opinions/ideas:

This account's purpose is to promote self-hosting, community hosting and managed hosting, in order to encourage independence from giant tech corporations.

But some of the FOSS that these self-hosting platforms run on are now being generated by LLMs. It's making FOSS dependent on corporations and unethically created software, when the purpose of FOSS is to be independent and ethical.

I'm not sure how to proceed as so many FOSS projects are allowing LLM 😞

And just after giving my second talk of the year at @FrOSCon, the recording of the first one at @pycon back in late May, "Basic Security for Open Source Maintainers", finally dropped 😊

If you are wondering what that latin phrase was that I ended my talk with:

"Ceterum censeo genAI esse delendam"

Translation: "Furthermore I'm of the opinion that genAI needs to be destroyed"

This is in reference to "Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carthago_delenda_est

I thought long and hard about including this. And then I pondered whether I should go with "genAI" or "BigTech". I chose based on this specific talk's content. This might become a thing in my future talks.

RAIN!

Man muss sich Sisyphos als glücklichen müden nassen abgekühlten Hund vorstellen…

Gerade die #froscon Keynote von @foosel nachgeschaut.
Nach einem entzückend nervösen Beginn ein sehr solider, sehr empfehlenswer Talk.

Back at home after a lovely #FrOSCon (with no delays this time!). Yet another event where I'll have to watch all of the talks I planned to go to on media.ccc.de, because the very interesting Hallway track wasn't recorded 😅

Was great meeting so many old and new friends. I'm also extremely happy about the good feedback I got on my keynote 😊

BTW, you can find that recording here: https://media.ccc.de/v/froscon2026-3673-adventures_in_open_source_development and also here: https://youtu.be/2F9jiQgS5KM

And thus ends my summer vacation...

My keynote at #FroSCOn went well, despite being nervous AF 😊

My watch noticed the latter 😬

Great keynote by @foosel at @FrOSCon - thanks a lot!
