Today we launched https://code.overheid.nl: the NL government-wide code platform 🥳🥳

Code.overheid.nl is a pilot in which we are going to test @forgejo; an open source and sovereign alternative to GitHub/GitLab.

This is an initiative of @BZKopensource, in collaboration with our friends from team DAWO (SSC-ICT), @opensource , @developer , and a number of participating government orgs. 🤝

@tomootes from developer.overheid wrote a nice piece about it: https://developer.overheid.nl/blog/2026/04/24/we-gaan-samen-code-overheid-bouwen

TIL that the astrophysicist who coined the term #DarkMatter , Fritz Zwicky, also coined the term ‘spherical bastard’, meaning someone who is a bastard no matter how you look at them. 🍊 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_Zwicky

Oh wow! I wasn't expecting that! In fact, I wasn't expecting anything from this silly experiment...

Naive "pseudo lucky imaging" on M51:

~2 hours, 1428 frames of 5 (five) seconds each, with my small planetary camera on my newton 200/1000, gain to the max...

That's... My best M51 picture ever, by far...

This random thing I didn't mean to watch had me laughing out loud:

Some great combos there.

Tony: I don't give a fuck

We publish a major Citizen Lab report on Webloc, an ad-based mass surveillance system that monitors the movements and personal characteristics of hundreds of millions people globally based on data obtained from mobile apps and digital advertising.

Customers include ICE, El Salvador and Hungary.

Our research shows that ad-based surveillance is now used by military, intelligence and law enforcement agencies down to local police in several countries.
