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

Ist Deutscher Mieterbund e.V. oder Mieterschutzbund e.V. sinnvoller?

Comitis Capital hat den Kauf von Threema vereinbart – final abgeschlossen ist das laut Mitteilung noch nicht (Closing im Jan. 2026 geplant).
Und ja: Threema bleibt weiterhin in der Schweiz (Sitz), aber „Schweizer Souveränität“ ist am Ende auch eine Frage von Eigentümerstruktur, Governance und Transparenz.

"The power of the Gestapo was used to focus upon political opponents, ideological dissenters, career criminals, the Sinti and Roma population, handicapped persons, homosexuals, and, above all, the Jews.

Those arrested by the Gestapo were often held without judicial process, and political prisoners throughout Germany—and from 1941, throughout the occupied territories under the Night and Fog Decree—simply disappeared while in Gestapo custody.

Contrary to popular perception, the Gestapo was actually a relatively small organization with limited surveillance capability; still it proved extremely effective due to the willingness of ordinary Germans to report on fellow citizens."

sure: the main reason is decades of being forced into austerity and making profits by the CxU and SPD instead of major government investments into our infrastructure

I think during the past year, Kill The Newsletter and Morss became one of my favorite service that I use daily but really would not like to selfhost. They are both great, though if you are a fan of #RSS

The Helix editor using the light-background Alabaster theme viewing a sample Rust file.

The Helix editor using the dark-background Alabaster theme viewing a sample Rust file.

Published my port of the Alabaster theme family for Helix.

Alabaster is a minimal syntax highlighting approach by Nikita Prokopov (tonsky) - only 4 semantic colors: strings, constants, comments, and definitions. Everything else stays plain text because code structure is already clear from formatting.

I've ported all 6 variants (light/dark × standard/BG/mono) from the original Sublime theme (staying as close as possible to the original). Also submitted a PR to ship these with Helix upstream!

Original theme: https://github.com/tonsky/sublime-scheme-alabaster
Read tonsky's essay: https://tonsky.me/blog/syntax-highlighting/
My port: https://github.com/wolf/alabaster-for-helix

I tried to duplicate the original exactly, however Helix has multiple selections so I made the colors distinct between "selection" and "primary-selection".

If you ever think technology evolves too fast, remember that in 2026 UTF-8 is still not fully implemented.
