Very interesting @fosdem talk about risk misalignment for EU policy regarding digital sovereignty and free and open source software. It's a policy problem, not a technical problem!

I also really like the general bit of wisdom at the end:

"If we want to move somebody, [we must] first understand them. And this means standing where they stand, and not where you want them to stand."

Fundraising for Mission:Libre's relaunch continues to give me a stabbing headache.

Has anyone outside the major #freesoftware and #opensource foundations managed to raise a significant amount to do _activism_ work?

I might be on uncharted ground here.

I’ve snazzed up the #PowerDashboard for the #SolarPanels and #Batteries on #HomeAssistant There is actually some duplication but I can see everything I need on one page now. The built-in #EnergyDashboard is useful for cummulative energy through the day. (I reduced the page font and images to get all the graphs and data onto one screenshot.)
