I've been in the fediverse since 2017 already, however with the recent growth in users and the switch to my own instance, I figured it is time for an #introduction.

I am a #Statistician and #DataScientist from Germany. I am also passionate about Free and #OpenSource #Software and am deeply involved in hosting, developing and advocacy of privacy friendly FOSS tools.

Besides above two topics, I share posts & ramble myself about #politics in Germany and the EU, #feminism, #veganism, #selfhosting, #rstats, #linux and whatever is currently happening. Posts are typically in English, shares are often in German as well.

If you have further questions, you are free to ask any time. You can find further contact info (incl. PGP) on my website https://www.jayvii.de

I wasn’t convinced Claude could really replace me until I watched it trigger fail2ban while configuring fail2ban and lock itself out, just like I would have. 🫡

Headlines like this remind me so much of crypto shit from a few years ago.

My never ending quest to redefine my news reading habits have fallen back to old school newspaper reading, but with a twist!

Using a pretty cool RSS aggregator that writes into templates of arbitrary formats in combination with some RegEx foo and a full-page scraper, I am now able to read "newspaper" every morning either on the phone, PC or ebook reader and be done with it for the rest of the day.

I realised that I fall into the habit of checking news constantly, even when using classic RSS readers for it. During my test-flights in the past week, this hacky project appears to work-for-me(TM)

Gleichzeitig werden Rufe nach einem kostenlosen OpenDesk für Universitäten laut.

Mein Vorschlag: Wir nehmen digitale Souveränität ernst – nicht nur reden, sondern handeln! Wir erarbeiten einen Plan, wie wir die öffentliche Verwaltung in den nächsten Jahren auf Freie Software umstellen können, und schnüren ein Paket von 481 Mio. Euro pro Jahr, die dann in die deutsche/europäische Open-Source-Wirtschaft fließen. Ich bin mir sicher, da kann man dann auch die Universitäten mit reinpacken... Problem gelöst... Deal? 🤔💡

Schleswig-Holstein macht es vor und kann dem Bund bestimmt den einen oder anderen Tipp geben.

The European Commission told TikTok to “change several key features, including disabling infinite scrolling, setting strict screen time breaks and changing its recommender systems. The demand follows the Commission's declaration that TikTok’s design is addictive to users.”

Now do the same for the US services!
