Ben jij een hostingprovider en ondersteun je moderne internetstandaarden? Dan is onze Hall of Fame er voor jou!

Moderne internetstandaarden maken het internet voor iedereen toegankelijker, veiliger en betrouwbaarder. Toch zijn het gebruik en de juiste implementatie ervan niet vanzelfsprekend.

Leveranciers zeggen soms: "Onze klanten vragen er niet om." Gebruikers weten vaak niet hoe kwetsbaar hun website en systemen zijn zonder deze standaarden.

Hi @EUCommission, great to see that many of the mentioned Mastodon EU accounts have now been added to the social media search tool of the EU (https://european-union.europa.eu/contact-eu/social-media-channels_en). Well done! 🙏 🎉👏

Few remarks:
1. DIGIT / Digital Services (@EC_DIGIT) shows up twice when filtering on "Mastodon". One of the entries links to their X account and not to their Mastodon account.
2. The Mastodon account of the EU Research Executive Agency (@REA) is missing. Note that their X account has an entry.
3. Maybe you could make clear that one of the Curia Mastodon accounts is French (@Curia_fr) and the other one is English (@Curia).
4. @EC_OSPO and @cert_eu are still missing.

Hey Windows (ab)users! Microsoft patched around 200 vulnerabilities in Windows etc today, a record Patch Tuesday batch. All indications are they fixed two of the zero-days dropped last month by the researcher Nightmare Eclipse, including "Green Plasma" and the "YellowKey" exploit that allowed local access to data encrypted by BitLocker. In response to today's Patch Tuesday, Nightmare Eclipse dropped an exploit for what they claimed was a zero-day bug in Windows Defender.

Nearly three dozen of the bugs patched this month earned Microsoft’s most dire “critical” rating, and exploit code for at least three of the weaknesses is now publicly available.

Hi @bjoernsta and @michael , I've noticed that https://european.social is hosted entirely by 🇺🇸 providers, i.e. GoDaddy as domain registrar, Amazon for DNS and web hosting, and Google for fonts.

Check:

- https://hosting-checker.net/websites/european.social

Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to lead by example and host this initiative with 🇪🇺 providers?

Al eens gewisseld van cloudprovider? Dat gaat vaak gepaard met veel gedoe. Daarom is een strategisch cloudbeleid met focus op dataportabiliteit essentieel.

Hoe voorkomen we bijvoorbeeld vendor lock-in? Op 24 juni verkennen we dit tijdens de CIO-dag in de sessie: Soevereine cloud in de praktijk.

Sprekers:
🔹 Fleur ter Borg (#CIORijk)
🔹 Marjan Vogel (Het Waterschapshuis)
🔹 Wladimir Mufty (@SURF)

We bespreken hoe de overheid regie houdt. Aanmelden voor de sessie kan hier: https://cio-dag-2026.yellenge.nl/soevereine-cloud-in-de-praktijk/

Just added an important note to #Odido's (english) Wikipedia page:

#IPv6 #IPv4

🚨 Say that I were to give a talk to EU policy makers and OSS communities at a very big conference tomorrow..

and that I want to spend half of my talk on how Google is locking down #Android through:
1. Device attestation
2. Developer registration
3. Age/identity verification

What should I absolutely include? 👀

Input is welcome, sorry for the short notice. Plain language + realistic calls to action pls.
