FreeCAD Day Europe 2026.
On the 30th January 2026 we once again held our pre FOSDEM fringe meet up event FreeCAD Day. Once again we met at the fabulous Les Ateliers des Tanneurs venue, where, fuelled with plenty of coffee and tea, we had an excellent day of talks and discussions.

Super Vortrag heute von Bruno Schöb zum Thema "Open Source als wichtiger Träger der Digitalen Souveränität", organisiert von eGov-Schweiz Innovation and Network und moderiert von Dominik Steiner.

Open Source Prinzipien, offene Standards und Open Source Software sind zentrale Voraussetzungen für digitale Souveränität. Die Unabhängigkeit von einzelnen IT-Anbietern – und damit die Sicherstellung digitaler Souveränität – wird durch eine vielfältige Anbieterlandschaft sowie den konsequenten Einsatz offener Standards gewährleistet.

Mit der aktuellen Strategie Digitale Schweiz 2025 wird der Einsatz von Open Source Software in der Bundesverwaltung gefördert
https://digital.swiss/de/

💡 Gerade heute ist es wichtiger denn je, konsequent auf Open Source umzusteigen.

RAG works… until it doesn’t. Most failures aren’t crashes.
They’re silent: weak grounding, partial answers, confident hallucinations.

I wrote a hands-on guide showing how to measure RAG quality in Java using Quarkus + LangChain4j:
– faithfulness
– relevance
– retrieval quality
– reference-based checks

Local models. No hype. Production thinking.

Call for testing for a script that installs #KDE #PLASMA on a #FreeBSD desktop or laptop. Testing is aimed at users who already know FreeBSD, for example who can configure /etc/rc.conf and /boot/loader.conf.
I’m especially interested in feedback from people with NVIDIA GPUs, since I don’t have this hardware myself.

Discussion to figure out which packages to install and which configurations to use for #NVIDIA GPUs (for example x11/nvidia-xconfig, linux_enable="YES", and so on): https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-desktop/2026-January/007438.html

There was a pretty critical news segment by Nieuwsuur about @landesregierung 's move to open source alternatives. It shows a Higher Court user having issues with LibreOffice vs Microsoft Office, and using a scanner workaround. Also the email migration didn't go without issue.

To someone who has done this migration before; jup sounds familiar. But it's also something that can be solved. We're actually visiting SH next week to learn about their #opensource experience.

AI agents want your API keys. Don't give them your API keys.

Built a proxy that lets them read everything but queues writes for approval. I review it over coffee.

Self-hosted. Open source. Your data stays yours.
