2026 Open Source Security and Risk Analysis Report – Software Governance in the AI Era – Black Duck Software, Inc.

― a direct link to the freely-available report that's mentioned in the joint statement from Apereo Foundation, Open Source Initiative (OSI), Open Source Technology Improvement Fund (OSTIF), and FreeBSD Foundation.
"The “Open Source Security and Risk Analysis” (OSSRA) report has been the industry’s definitive look at the state of open source code for a decade. Each year, we analyze anonymized findings from commercial codebases audited by the Black Duck Audit Services team, and this provides an unmatched, real-world view of how open source is used—and sometimes misused—across every major industry. This year’s findings document a pivotal moment: The explosion of AI-assisted development has fundamentally altered the risk landscape for software and the baseline for compliance with new regulatory initiatives such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). …"
Very behind on toot notifications, but I'll respond when able. XD
Got stuck in an #ADHD #Hyperfocus vortex trying to code my own version of Linux' free(1) in #ksh, because the free in the pkg repo isn't great.
I think I was at it for two hours until half an hour ago. 🤦♂️ 🥱
And NOW I just realized that the free I've been using in #FreeBSD is one of my own scripts as well, which I probably could have just adapted for OpenBSD with maybe minimal fuss, LOL.
Codex integration with the Hetzner Storage Box works well with the Finder. Syncing, uploading and deleting files all work well. Next I can add that to Aster to sync files back to FreeBSD in my file manager, cool!

Playing around with #FreeBSD on an old Celeron machine, trying to figure out how best to boot into a natively encrypted zfs zroot.
Mainly basing my approach on this article https://klarasystems.com/articles/openzfs-native-encryption/ but trying to get my head around the whole boot process at the same time!
After @daniel published an article on sending Jabber / XMPP messages via HTTP I decided to see if I could get Grafana alerts sent to an XMPP MUC. It turns out to be possible with some additional @prosodyim modules. Here is my post with details of what you need to do in Prosody and Grafana to make it work: https://deburen.co.uk/5/7/.
The instructions are for a #FreeBSD / @BastilleBSD system, but should be applicable on any other Grafana / Prosody environment.
To have my “second brain” (#orgmode on my #FreeBSD laptop) available on my mobile phone as well, I've been using #orgzly-revived for a while now. However, issues with the experimental Git synchronization made me want to switch to WebDAV.
Since I wanted a lightweight solution, I’ve now set up #Caddy with the #WebDAV plugin, and I’m pretty happy with it so far.
When I’m on my home network, I run a small script that opens the relevant ports in the firewall on my laptop and starts Caddy. After syncing, I stop the script, which stops Caddy and also closes the firewall. Done.
Of course I kept my Org files under Git version control.
One thing that drives me a bit batty is that GRUB is not able to see the FreeBSD EFI boot partition.
But allegedly Windows’ BCD can?!?
Am I going to have to make Windows the primary boot device just to easily access FreeBSD vs jumping through the UEFI boot menu?
