Self-Host Weekly (2025-05-16)
Controversies left and right, software updates and launches, a spotlight on #LoggiFly -- a log monitoring and #notification platform, and more in this week's recap!
I made this animation about sacrificial branches for my talk about #bonsai and #software #development next week.
What do you think? Does it make the process and advantages clear?
Is it a browser?
Is it a productivity tool?
Is it a personal statement?
Yes.

At #locaverdi, we believe that #IT needs to be put on an energy diet. Our world does not need more computational power, or #AI. Conserving energy and resources is vital to a healthy and liveable planet. #efficiency should be a main focus point in #developing #software and #hardware. #frugalcomputing. Do more with less energy and resources. Just that.

How can #research and #practice in #Agile #Software #Development move closer together?
This question will be at the heart of a dedicated workshop at XP 2025 – and I’m honored to join as a panel participant.
Workshop title:
"Towards a closer collaboration between practice and research in Agile Software Development – What we learnt; and what not?"
Agile has come a long way since the 1990s – from a niche software development approach to a catalyst for organization-wide transformation.
Yet two persistent gaps remain:
a time gap between fast-paced change in organizations and the slower pace of academic response
a theory gap regarding long-term adoption and cultural integration
This workshop, led by Michael Neumann, Maria Rauschenberger, Prof. Dr. Eva-Maria Schön, Tiago Silva da Silva, and Mali Senapathi, aims to address both. We’ll explore how to bridge the divide and build a shared, forward-looking agenda for agile research – grounded in both academic insight and lived practice.
I look forward to engaging with fellow researchers and practitioners at #XP #2025. Let’s turn collaboration into impact.

Just published update on the ongoing libogc license situation.
Before it looked like they had just copied BSD code without attribution, which was a relatively easy fix. But now there's evidence that GPL code from Linux 2.6 found its way in there -- which is a whole other story.

A section from a "Vibe Coding Intern" position. #software #development
Who would have thought that anyone would think it is a good idea to ban regulation of AI and algorithmic content? This is a seriously bad idea.
I continue to believe that we should ban user profiling and the use of user profiles for advertising and content algorithms. Given where we are, I think that is the right thing to do and I think more and more are seeing that as the only way to solve the issues we have today.

Warum das auch für uns in Deutschland relevant ist." https://correctiv.org/aktuelles/denkanstoss/2025/05/13/dieser-putsch-findet-mit-software-statt-und-nicht-mit-panzern/
