Hi BizzFed. I'm Jürgen. I got into IT in 1989 by writing software documentation, before I owned a computer. I never stopped writing. At LakeDrops, a small Drupal agency, I maintain ECA, a workflow engine on more than 25,000 websites. Since July 2025 almost all my working time has gone into open source. The community never got an invoice for that. In September it did. More on that later. So far I've only written for the Drupal crowd. Here I'm looking for people who have never installed Drupal and still ask the same questions. How do I automate work without chaining myself to a vendor? Which AI tools do I actually control? Who pays for the open source my business runs on? Who should I follow here who has nothing to do with Drupal? #introduction #OpenSource #Automation #DigitalSovereignty

New post: Keeping Ansible Passwords out of the File System I have used the HCL Connections automation project for years. I abandoned my own Ansible roles for deploying Connections and switched to it. The project works, but it misses some basic practices, it stores passwords in clear text, and its variable inheritance makes environment-specific settings … https://stoeps.de/posts/2026/ansible-vault-environment-passwords/ Reply to this toot to leave a comment - replies will appear below the article automatically. #omb #ansible #automation #security

U.S. authorities seized three domains and disabled QScan and QTRouter, tools allegedly used by a China-linked group to scan targets and conceal attacks behind infected devices. The action disrupted the platforms, but did not arrest their operators or reveal the full impact of every reported intrusion.

Canadian robotics companies caught up in U.S. ban on foreign-made bots Canadian robotics companies are warning they’re being swept up in a U.S. crackdown on foreign-made robots, as new restrictions threaten to shut them out of their largest market. #Science #CanadaUSrelations #Robotics

New toy for FreeBSD folks who run Ansible: a become plugin for mdo(1), the mac_do(4) counterpart to sudo/doas. The kernel decides whether the credential transition is allowed, so there is no password, no TTY, no doas.conf, and pipelining just works. Single file, BSD 2-Clause, tested against 15.1-RELEASE. https://github.com/chofstede/ansible-become-mdo Feedback welcome, especially from anyone already using mac_do in production. #FreeBSD #Ansible #RunBSD #DevOps #Automation
