Science requires criticism, but we need to work hard to stop it from becoming toxic. My thoughts on coaching people and its impact on mental health. merlijn.sebrechts.be/blog/2025-10-p…
Are you a researcher working on Webassembly, software distribution or sandboxing? Do you want to present at a premier venue with strong industry visibility? We're organizing the WACE workshop together the @bytecodeallies co-located with ACM Middleware bytecodealliance.org/wace2026
IEEE/IFIP WACE Workshop is coming! Co-located with NOMS, supported by #ELASTIC, @imec_int & @bytecodeallies. Explore #WebAssembly & Trusted Computing for cloud & edge. Dates: - Submission: Jan 17, 2025 - Notification: Feb 28, 2025 Learn more: elasticproject.eu/the-first-weba…
Are you an #Ubuntu Member? Remember to cast your vote while you still have time! Ubuntu Community Council elections voting ends on 2024-10-17 For more information please check this discourse post: discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-commu…
Introducing #ELASTIC partner @imec_int! @imec_int is enhancing #WebAssembly for secure & efficient #EdgeComputing and serverless environments. Learn more about their cutting-edge work in #AI, #IoT, & semiconductors: elasticproject.eu/imec/
Are you allowed to use Meta's #llama AI? The license prohibits many things, and takes away your ability to sue people copying your work with AI. You can't use it to change a website, for city planning, and many more things. Buyer beware! merlijn.sebrechts.be/blog/2024-08-0…
Feather received the Best Paper award at #CLOSER2024. A K8s-compatible orchestrator for tiny devices, supporting containers and MicroVMs. Created by Maxim De Clercq and Tom Goethals. Open sourced as part of @NatworkProject. 📰 dx.doi.org/10.5220/001253… 👩💻 github.com/idlab-discover…
We've recently started allowing students to use #AI for their master's thesis. Do you think it's the right approach? Did we miss something? All feedback is welcome! merlijn.sebrechts.be/blog/2023-05-0…
We need to stop saying math is fundamental to computer science. It scares away a lot of people, it makes it harder to teach programming, and it's not even true. I explained why at the Newline 2023 conference of Hackerspace.Gent youtube.com/watch?v=1ckHJq…
Interested in working in Open Source? ULYSSIS is organizing a job fair in Leuven, Belgium for companies that develop, support and/or heavily use Free and Open Source Software. Both students and professionals with IT skills are more than welcome. opensourcejobfair.be
The #newline2023 schedule is live! You can find it here: events.hackerspace.gent/en/newline2023… For more information have a look at newline.gent or feel free to ask! We hope to see you soon! (31 March - 2 April)
I've had 3 different self-hosted VPNs for my business. They're usually confusing to add/remove users and eat up too much of my time to manage. @mesebrec's Easy OpenVPN Server is by far the easiest and worth checking out if you want one less headache. github.com/IBCNServices/e…
#UbuntuSummit Prague kicks off this Monday! We're delighted to have brilliant community members sharing their knowledge and experiences in #opensource, with speakers from KDE, GNOME, Lorenzo's Music, ardour.org, and many more. Full agenda: events.canonical.com/event/2/page/2…
@popey Yes, but within reason. Community is important in open source software. If you are toxic, I will actively try to avoid your software.
@castrojo Many of these are available for Ubuntu as PPAs or similar, but I don't think I need to convince anyone why I avoid them.
@castrojo The second category is stuff that pulls in half the world including "dirty" dependencies like x86 libraries: sommelier (wine) and latexml (latex to html converter). Adding wine to my base system caused weird glitches in the past and requires x86_32 dependencies. 2/2
