"Face aux tensions géopolitiques et à la montée des préoccupations sur la souveraineté numérique, les deux principales municipalités du Danemark, Copenhague et Aarhus, se retirent des services de Microsoft. A la clé : une réduction des coûts et la volonté de limiter la dépendance à un acteur étranger dominant. Ce choix provoquera-t-il un effet domino parmi les villes européennes en quête d'alternatives souveraines ?"

Anubis is designed to protect websites from AI scraper bots, Anubis primarily focuses on parameters like the user agent sent with the request and looks for oddities in the connection. “Known good” and harmless clients are always accepted, and “Known bad” clients are always denied. Now the same tool is used to get protection from a DDoS attack: https://fabulous.systems/posts/2025/05/anubis-saved-our-websites-from-a-ddos-attack/
On 30 April 1993, CERN's Directors declared that the three components of Web software (the basic line-mode client, the basic server and the library of common code) that Tim Berners-Lee @timbl had first proposed in 1989, were to be put in the Public Domain.
We are grateful to CERN and to Tim for this world changing decision which has enabled the W3C community to create open, accessible, international web standards which make the web work, for everyone.

Hi, I ran a #Forgejo Contribution Workshop here in Aachen today, and it was pretty nice with four attendees - we got 2 PRs out of the way and a few WIP ones in-the-works. However, I did notice a bunch of things that might need fixing :D
For those that cannot attend IRL and are also interested in contributing - you can help me and many others massively by taking one of the following issues:

Meta aligning with Trump's false narrative that enforcing competition law is a "tariff” 🤢
"the Commission forcing us to change our business model effectively imposes a multi-billion-dollar tariff on Meta while requiring us to offer an inferior service”
When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.
@streetartutopia gorgious !
A verified ID is required to access AI models in OpenAI's API to prevent IP theft. 😂 They went from stealing everything from everyone to now claiming it's their original work, despite hundreds of pending copyright cases against them in the courts. Why is this even allowed? That's hypocrisy at best.

Over the past few months, I played around with OpenStreetMap a lot so as to learn some Blender basics. As there was a lack of a comprehensive guide out there on the Internet, I published something for the first time in ages.
