I like this "simply by copying the same stacks and calling them European, doesn't change anything" - we have a stack, and it is open and commons-oriented @samvie #FOSDEM #SocialWeb

I think more #Fediverse developers should take a look at FEP-3b86 Activity Intents https://codeberg.org/benpate/fep/src/branch/fep-3b86/fep/3b86/fep-3b86.md #FOSDEM #SocialWeb
I earned a badge! BadgeFed @ #FOSDEM 2026 · Supporter issued by BadgeFed on 1/2026. Check it out: https://badgefed.org/grant/badgefedorg_150_12_1c344a6e6e1b171ee03c42405be53d0d
I'm happy to announce that my talk has been accepted at #FOSDEM 2026 in the Network devroom!
I'll be presenting my work on automating BGP peerings in the dn42 environment on Saturday, January 31st, 18:40-19:00 at Université Libre de Bruxelles, room H.1302. The session will also be streamed online.
dn42 is a community-driven overlay network that provides a real-world testbed for experimenting with Internet protocols like BGP, IPv4/v6, DNS and much more. I'll share how I built an automatic peering service that's helped my network (AS4242420263) reach rank #20 of all dn42 networks.
If you're curious about overlay networks, BGP or hands-on network automation, this is for you!

Excited to be supporting the Fediverse / Social Web track at #FOSDEM again this year! Here's the CfP -> https://socialwebfoundation.org/2025/10/31/fosdem-2026-social-web-devroom-call-for-participation/
Last week, I had an online meeting with the developers of #Gancio, #Mobilizon and #LAUTI. We either found out that we had already planned our trip to this year's #FOSDEM or were thinking about it. We spontaneously proposed a last-minute BOF, and I'm glad it was accepted. See you in Brussels! :) @fosdem
And directly afterwards there is the @nlnet meet and greet, great timing! :)
Just a friendly reminder that it's the #FOSDEM week 😀
7 rooms will be streamed over #PeerTube from VHSky.cz and MakerTube.net instances. Playlists here.

I'll be in Brussels later this week, and I'm looking forward to (re)connecting with community and friends at #FOSDEM!
This Sunday at #FOSDEM’26!
Centralised systems were designed with the best of intentions, but were turned against us anyway. And peer-to-peer systems will be exactly the same.
How do we make the next generation of protocols more difficult to weaponise?
This is the lens which I’ll use to look at Willow (https://willowprotocol.org), a family of publicly-funded, open source peer-to-peer protocols. Join me for a presentation of drawings, music, and insight gained from working in p2p for the past six years.

Let us know if you want to meet up :)
where can i get a menel-flavored monster somewhere around ULB? #fosdem
Great vibes at #fosdemStegodon is our small attempt at making fediverse hosting simpler and more self-owned — SSH-first, minimal, practical, resource-saving.Step by step toward infrastructure we actually control. 🐘
On stage now, @django — arguing for widespread adoption of ActivityPub client-server (C2S) protocol.
I agree with him.
At the very least, to make extension of ActivityPub through JSON-LD namespaces possible.
But also to decouple Fediverse client development from Fediverse server development.
And more.

Mentioned by @andypiper :
The Mastodon team is planning to release a universal "share" button.
(It wasn't clear to me if this was just for Mastodon servers — or if it would work with non-Mastodon servers, too. It was mentioned briefly from the audience.)
