🏔 The Dyne.org mountain range needs your help.

~30 years of Free Software. Independent peaks (Frei0r, Tomb, Zenroom, Dynebolic) connected by shared values and open standards. Woven together by people, not a brand.

We won't be able to keep Dyne's developers on the payroll beyond Q1 2027. The open-source world is consumed by political fights and propaganda; funds are draining away from constructive projects. We need the community now more than ever.

Donating means supporting a world where tech means civic rights, cross-border collaboration, and resistance to information warfare. Code should be usable, inspectable, and safe, no matter who you are or where you come from.

💖 https://dyne.org/donate 🗞 https://news.dyne.org/the-dyne-org-mountain-range-needs-your-help/

We are free to share code, and we code to share freedom. Welcome to the range. Help dyne.org stay focused on hacking the planet!

📢 Open call: Open Technology Research is a global, multidisciplinary research symposium bringing academics and practitioners together to advance understanding of the role of open technologies in the modern world and produces policy-relevant research that helps decision-makers drive impact.

This year's Open Technology Research (OTR) Symposium, themed “Shaping the Open Transition”, moves from diagnosis to action: from mapping the landscape to charting the path forward. With keynotes anchored in what is already working, and sessions designed to translate research directly into policy recommendations and practice, the event is both a stocktaking exercise and a forward-looking call to build a more united, evidence-based global research agenda ON – one that strengthens open technology's role as a shared foundation for resilience and sovereignty, reinforces public interest governance, and mobilizes research and evidence to drive collective action.

The edge of the internet is closer than you think.

What if your community could exist without phone numbers, email addresses, or third-party websites? What if all it took was a sovereign identity and a local area network?

We have a working blueprint for digital autonomy, from local bars to neighborhood groups to small businesses. It runs on scarce resources, costs almost nothing, and leaves no one trapped. The escape hatch is always open.

Come see how we did it.

MOS: The Modular OS That Minds Its Own Business

Meet MOS, a Modular Operating System for #Servers and #Homelabs.

It's what happens when you ask: what if our infrastructure respected us back? Based on #Devuan, built for resourcefulness rather than resource hunger, MOS is a quiet rebellion against the age of appliances that report home, phones that listen, and clouds you can't touch.

What it does: A clean, modern web interface (Vue + Vuetify) gives you control over:

• Monitoring, storage, and shares
• Users and networking
• Notifications and a web terminal
• Docker, LXC, VMs, all modular, all extensible

What it doesn't do:

• No hidden services phoning headquarters
• No telemetry harvesting your homelab's secrets
• No forced cloud dependencies
• No "you must create an account to use your own server" nonsense

Features arrive as plugins. You decide what runs. The machine belongs to you.

Open source, AGPLv3. REST APIs. WebSockets. The kind of stack that doesn't lock you in, but sets you free.

Dyne.org is proud to announce our sovereign build of Google's longfellow-zk. This isn't just another open-source project, it's a move to secure Europe's digital independence. Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) are a game-changing technology for privacy and verification. But control of this tech is concentrated outside of Europe, creating a strategic vulnerability.

We're changing that. Our build ensures: ✅ European-led development & governance. ✅ A transparent, auditable codebase. ✅ A sovereign alternative for our critical infrastructure.

This is about owning our stack and our future.

The work is underway, and this is a community effort. We call on all European developers and innovators to join us in building this vital piece of our digital sovereignty.

For years, we have spoken about the decentralising power of technologies, of a "disintermediated" digital future in which we can interact "peer to peer," point to point.

For years, we have spoken about the decentralising power of technologies, of a "disintermediated" digital future in which we can interact "peer to peer," point to point. However, the world appears to be moving in a direction opposed to the many good intentions and experiments aimed at decentralisation, transparency, and horizontality on the web.

♾️ Beyond Broken Infrastructure

Amidst the digital equivalent of underfunded aqueducts and brittle bridges, dynes keep building. In S2025-E8 of Planet Dyne, we explore the foundations for what comes next: from re-imagining how innovation is funded, to forging anonymous age checks that protect rather than police, and the sovereign code that makes it all possible. Let's stop maintaining the ruins and start building anew.

Security enhancements will include Tor hidden-service integration and security hardening, such as Address Sanitiser (ASAN), static analysis, and penetration testing.

A Creative Triage for a Feverish Planet: PACESETTERS Summit Polyclinic of Creative Practice

This November, the @[email protected] consortium is not hosting a conference. It is opening a Polyclinic of Creative Practice—a five-day, live-diagnosis summit in Málaga for Europe’s cultural immune system.

https://pacesetters.eu/summit/

There is a widening consensus that research and innovation (R&I) funding in Europe is not working the way it is supposed to. The growing competition for R&I project grants overburdens the R&I system, generates bursts of activity leading to unsustainable results, and fuels the much-maligned growth of precarious labour.

This trend needs to be turned around, and not by means of the usual patchwork but through a fundamental rethinking of the system for R&I funding. We believe that a very promising avenue for such a turnaround would be a shift from project-based funding to continuous funding for R&I networks.

Can Europe sustain the growth of AI data centres, or does the already overcrowded electrical grid risk being clogged even more?

https://tv.dyne.org/w/xppgsSph2ydFntqswkuFCE

As the uptake of Artificial Intelligence (AI) increases in many sectors of the economy, all of that infrastructure has to be supported somehow: that is where data centres come in. The most advanced economies are rushing to scale up their digital infrastructure, yet industry laggard Europe is also behind in this aspect, compared to places like the US and China.

Switzerland, which is usually slow-moving, is taking the lead in the substantive debate around eID. Jammed between accelerationism and the fast-paced digital reality, electronic Identity is by no means an easy topic.

But at least, the Swiss experts and civil society have a say.

[ITA/ENG] Reality has a new author: the prompt. AI-generated video is no longer clumsy—it’s convincingly real. We’re building a world where seeing is no longer believing.
