This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. In this episode, I discuss my ongoing project aimed at mapping the dependencies municipalities have on major third-party digital services, particularly focusing on Microsoft and Google , given their dominance in the market. The aim of this research isn't about debating the quality of these products—it's assumed that with thousands of employees, these services meet most quality expectations. Instead, the focus is on the critical implications of widespread dependency and potential risks related to service interruptions or supply chain attacks. Why is this important? Supply Chain Attacks : High dependency means higher vulnerability to targeted disruptions. Business Continuity : Significant risks were illustrated by incidents such as the CrowdStrike outage in July 2024 , which forced Brussels Airport back to pencil-and-paper operations temporarily. My Research Approach: Primarily, I analyze the DNS MX records of municipalities: MX records typically reveal if mail services are hosted on Microsoft (Office 365/Exchange Online) or Google (Workspace). A high probability that using these providers for email also means municipalities likely depend on the respective cloud office suite (e.g., Word/Excel/SharePoint or Docs/Sheets/Drive). Preliminary Observations: Belgium, Finland, Netherlands : Over 70% of municipalities rely heavily on Microsoft mail services, a significant warning sign of dependency. Germany, Hungary : Fewer than 5% of municipalities use Microsoft or Google explicitly via MX records, though caution is necessary. Here's why: Challenges Identified: Local MS Exchange Servers : Municipally hosted local installations aren't externally identifiable via MX records. Mail Proxies : Some municipalities use mail proxy services (spam/phishing filters) obscuring the actual mail service used behind proxy domains. Techniques Tested: SPF Records : Often reveal the underlying email service, though they may contain outdated information, lowering reliability. Telnet EHLO Commands : Municipalities commonly obscure their SMTP headers, limiting usefulness. Cloud Provider IP-Ranges : Investigating if mail servers run on Google, Amazon, or Azure infrastructure. Even if identified, this alone doesn't clarify if proprietary or replaceable services are used. TXT Records : Occasionally contain subscription keys or mail-related settings (e.g., MS subscriptions, Mailjet), but again, could be historical remnants. Unfortunately, none of these get to show me all of the third party services. Community Call: I'm reaching out to listeners and the broader community for ideas or techniques on reliably fingerprinting the actual digital service providers behind mail servers. Specifically: How to accurately determine if servers run Microsoft or Google services ? Any ideas to detect deployments of Nextcloud or similar open-source alternatives? Resources: Project Webpage : jurgen.gaeremyn.be/map.html Source Code : gitlab.com/jurgeng/mxcheck I'm looking forward to all your suggestions in the comments! Provide feedback on this episode.

Small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are increasingly turning to third-party service providers to enhance their capabilities in artificial intelligence (AI) and hybrid cloud solutions. A recent Forrester report, commissioned by Crayon, indicates that 31% of surveyed leaders from Australia, New Zealand, India, and Southeast Asia plan to combine in-house teams with external providers to improve their AI capabilities within the next year. The report highlights a significant interest in AI, with 83% of respondents experimenting with free AI tools, although many are still in the exploration phase rather than implementation. Additionally, 87% of businesses are increasing their budgets for third-party services, signaling a shift towards advisory and pilot projects rather than traditional managed services.In Europe, there is a growing trend among customers to seek alternatives to U.S. cloud service providers due to concerns over reliability, pricing, and data security. Discussions at the recent KubeCon EU event revealed a tripling of inquiries for local cloud solutions, with companies like NextCloud gaining traction. The dominance of major players like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, and Google, which control about 70% of the European cloud market, is being challenged as organizations question their control over data and consider a transition to trusted local providers.Meanwhile, U.S. manufacturing sentiment is declining, with many manufacturers bracing for recession-like conditions amid ongoing trade tensions. Surveys indicate a significant drop in optimism among factory owners, with the New York Federal Reserve reporting one of the lowest outlooks in over two decades. Although manufacturing output saw a slight increase in March, the overall landscape remains volatile, with future hiring intentions at their lowest since 2016. This juxtaposition of rising output against declining sentiment underscores the complexities facing the manufacturing sector.Lastly, Synology is tightening its grip on hardware by implementing restrictions on the use of third-party hard drives in its future network-attached storage devices. Starting in 2025, only Synology-branded drives and those certified by the company will be supported for full functionality. This move raises concerns about vendor lock-in, particularly for managed service providers (MSPs) who have relied on Synology for its reliability and ease of use. Additionally, a cautionary tale emerges from U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's misuse of Signal for sharing sensitive military information, highlighting the importance of operational security and the need for a strong cybersecurity culture within organizations.

The Good Cloud biedt een privacyvriendelijk alternatief voor grote cloudproviders zoals Apple, Google en Microsoft. In deze aflevering spreken we met Kay Eeftink, directeur van The Good Cloud, over hoe hun platform werkt, waarom ze zijn gestopt met het overtuigen van mensen en waarom een privacybewuste cloud nog steeds een lastig verkoopverhaal is.Naast de technische kant van cloudopslag bespreken we hoe geopolitieke ontwikkelingen de adoptie van privacyvriendelijke oplossingen beïnvloeden en waarom mensen nog steeds geneigd zijn om voor gemak te kiezen, zelfs als ze privacy belangrijk vinden.Kay deelt zijn visie op de toekomst van open-source cloudoplossingen en hoe The Good Cloud balanceert tussen gratis diensten en een duurzaam businessmodel. Ook duiken we in de technische mogelijkheden: van bestandsopslag tot Nextcloud-integraties voor e-mail, agenda's en documenten.
Met De Technoloog maken we deze week onze eigen cloud. Daarvoor te gast is Bert Hubert. We hebben al Europese cloudproviders, zoals Nextcloud, OVHcloud en Scaleway, maar voldoen die wel? Wat mist er nog om een volwaardig alternatief te bieden voor de dominante Amerikaanse techbedrijven? Een cruciale vraag is wat een cloud eigenlijk soeverein maakt. Moet de infrastructuur fysiek in Europa staan? Welke hardware en software gebruiken we, en waar halen we die vandaan? Zelf ontwikkelen of inkopen? En hoe zorgen we voor schaalbaarheid, redundantie en multitenancy? We onderzoeken wat er nodig is om een Europese cloud op te tuigen die zowel technisch als economisch haalbaar is. De primaire klanten van zo’n cloudoplossing zouden waarschijnlijk overheden en de gezondheidssector zijn. Maar hoe zit het met de financiële sector? Is het überhaupt realistisch om banken en grote bedrijven van de Amerikaanse cloud te laten overstappen? En welke certificeringen zijn daarvoor nodig? Ook software speelt een grote rol. Wat is de balans tussen open source en commerciële software? Welke tools zijn nodig voor bijvoorbeeld workloadverdeling en gedistribueerde dataopslag? En hoe zorgen we ervoor dat alle hardware efficiënt met elkaar communiceert? Beveiliging en encryptie zijn vanzelfsprekend, maar welke andere operationele aspecten zijn essentieel, zoals incident management en een robuust backupbeleid? Dan is er nog de geopolitieke dimensie. Hoe kan de Amerikaanse overheid het ons moeilijk maken? Welke machtsmiddelen hebben zij om een Europese cloud te belemmeren? En wie binnen de Europese politiek ziet het gevaar van afhankelijkheid van Amerikaanse Big Tech nog steeds niet? Welke argumenten worden gebruikt om de status quo te verdedigen? Tot slot kijken we naar de grotere context. Hebben we één Europese hyperscaler nodig, of juist een netwerk van kleinere aanbieders? Hoeveel grote spelers zijn er nodig om tegenwicht te bieden aan de VS? En sluit ons beleid wel aan bij de realiteit? Open source is het uitgangspunt van de overheid, maar wordt dat ook echt nageleefd? En zijn er bedrijven die deze uitdaging willen en kunnen oppakken?

So many Nextclouders - from enterprise and education to activists and families - decide to self-host their privacy-focused IT infrastructure. What exactly motivates us to self-host? Is this inherently an increased data security risk? What of the grit needed to host your own digital infrastructure? The answers to these questions may surprise you! Lea Gröber, PhD student in Usable Security @ CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security, shares insight from two recent studies exploring motivations in self-hosting and Nextclouders specifically. We explore the topic of Usable Security and how, in terms of security, the human aspect of your digital infrastructure may be the most important, and yet the least understood. Afterall, "Users are not the enemy."

With a rich history throughout the Linux and open source world - from KDE to openSUSE, GNOME and more - Jos' insights into the power of community make it clear why the Nextcloud community is an essential aspect of our vision. With so many key community projects getting integrated and supported fully into Nextcloud, the open source lifestyle runs deep in Nextclouders' culture. Jos and Brent explore a wide range of topics, including: AI's impact on Nextcloud and its ideals How Nextclouders approach AI with ethical and thoughtful consideration the beautiful chaos important and necessary in open source communities How security disclosure culture and processes leverage HackerOne's bounty program The careful blending of business and community in the world of Nextcloud How Nextcloud evolved from file sync & share to a fully integrated content collaboration suite. If you're curious about the inner workings, personalities, history and friendships at Nextcloud - this episode has it all! A thank you to Jupiter Broadcasting for the collaboration on this episode, where Frank and Brent's conversation originally appeared in part on LINUX Unplugged and here today in full.

We're on the ground live at NixCon and SCaLE. We catch up with old friends, and discover how Nix is devouring the Linux world one function at a time.
Chris spends the week in a VR desktop, revealing the glitches, gains, and VR's open-source future.
Deploying Nextcloud the Nix way promises a paradise of reproducibility and simplicity. But is it just a painful trek through configuration hell? We built the dream Nextcloud using Nix and faced reality. Special Guest: Alex Kretzschmar.
Chris tries out Spatial Computing using a $3,200 trick, and Mike has a Rails treat you won't want to miss.
Some uncomfortable truths about using Linux, and then we introduce a new segment: Will it Nix?
