 This (longer than expected) post explains how to transfer files securely between your device and an external storage. The first part may be useful for you if you only have little knowledge of terms like (S)FTP(S) and want to learn something about widely used technologies. The second part will help you to mount an external storage so you can manage all files as if they are on your local device and the third, fourth and fifth part will concentrate on easing the mounting process by the help of hostnames, Private/Public Keys and a shell script.

 Yesterday I’ve been asked by a good friend of mine why I am investing so much time in the [FSFE](https://fsfe.org) (Free Software¹ Foundation Europe) instead of putting more energy in other organisations with more focus on privacy issues. The background of his question is that I’m quite concerned about governmental and commercial surveillance and the lack of really private ways to communicate with each other and the impact this has on our online and offline behaviour. With Laura Poitras‘ recent movie „Citizenfour“ awarded with an Oscar, I use the media attention as an icebreaker to talk with my friends about these topics if the situation allows it.

 Wie Ihr vielleicht schon mitbekommen habt, ist am 1. August die Welt etwas freier geworden. Nun nämlich ist das [Gesetz für Endgerätefreiheit][1] in Kraft, welches endlich erlaubt, dass Kunden deutscher Internetanbieter einen Router oder ein Modem ihrer Wahl an ihren Anschluss klemmen dürfen. Die [FSFE][2] hat sich von Anfang an für dieses Recht eingesetzt und schlussendlich haben wir diesen großen Erfolg errungen, der den [Routerzwang][3] endgültig abschaffen soll.

 summary: Im Deutschlandfunk-Magazin "Computer und Kommunikation" sprach ich über das Ende des Routerzwangs in Deutschland und was die neue Regelung für Verbraucher bedeutet. Nach jahrelangem Kampf war es gelungen, ein Gesetz durchzusetzen, das Kunden die freie Wahl ihres Routers garantiert – ein wichtiger Sieg für Verbraucherrechte und technische Selbstbestimmung. Der Deutschlandfunk erreicht ein breites, auch nicht-technisches Publikum, dem ich erklären konnte, warum dieses scheinbar technische Thema für jeden relevant ist.

 Seit dem 1. August herrscht – auch dank der langfristigen Arbeit der FSFE – gesetzlich [Endgerätefreiheit][1] in Deutschland, sprich alle Kundinnen und Kunden eines DSL- oder Kabelanbieters sollen die Freiheit haben, ein Modem oder Router ihrer Wahl anzuschließen, ohne systematisch benachteiligt zu werden. Doch halten die Anbieter das wirklich ein? Die FSFE testet das mit Hilfe großartiger Freiwilliger, denen wir alternative Testgeräte zuschicken. Und davon sind aktuell wieder ein paar verfügbar und warten auf neue Tester!

 Last weekend, I visited Oberhausen to participate in [OpenRheinRuhr][1], a well-known Free Software event in north-western Germany. Over two days I was part of [FSFE][2]’s booth team, gave a talk, and enjoyed talking to tons of like-minded people about politics, technology and other stuff. In the next few minutes you will learn what coat hangers have to do with flat irons and which hotel you shouldn’t book if you plan to visit Oberhausen.

 The benefits are manifold: saving time, reducing costs, more collaboration, transparency, interoperability, innovation, and independence from software vendors. On the often-cited security concerns, I explained:
 
-> It's actually better for security if software is transparent and the source code is published, because it's easier for security experts to see what's going wrong in the software. Malicious people will figure it out anyway, but more people can review the code. We've seen this with Linux. It is stable, secure and transparent, and we don't see a disadvantage in the fact that it's Open Source.

 The keynote argued that the current model, where public administrations pay vendors to develop software but then cannot share it with other public bodies, is economically inefficient and technologically counterproductive. I presented the FSFE's "Public Money, Public Code" campaign as a policy framework to address this: require that code developed with public funds be released as Free Software. The benefits extend beyond cost savings to include improved security (through transparency and auditability), reduced vendor lock-in, and the ability to build on each other's work rather than repeatedly reinventing similar solutions.

Most of the remarkably many replies have been positive and a pure joy to read, but some were a bit sceptical and critical. These came from Free Software contributors who are maintaining and helping projects that they think nobody knows and sees – not because these software projects are unused, but because they are small, a building block for other, more popular applications.

-In the 11th episode of the FSFE Software Freedom Podcast, I joined my colleague Bonnie Mehring to discuss the [REUSE initiative](https://reuse.software) and the newly launched REUSE Booster programme. This marked the first time that an FSFE staff member appeared on the podcast, and it was a great opportunity to provide an accessible introduction to REUSE for listeners who might find software licensing complex and intimidating. As the FSFE programme manager responsible for REUSE and one of the REUSE tool's maintainers, I shared insights into how REUSE makes licensing easier for both developers and users.
-
-The conversation covered the fundamentals of REUSE, a standard for modern licensing of Free Software projects that has been widely adopted by Open Source communities like KDE and a number of companies. I explained how REUSE's three simple steps remove the ambiguity and friction from Free Software licensing. We discussed the development of the community around REUSE, the tools we've built to automate compliance checking, and how major projects have successfully implemented REUSE practices.
-
-A key focus was the newly launched REUSE Booster programme, which we announced just weeks before this podcast episode. This activity offers hands-on support to Free Software projects wanting to adopt REUSE, providing direct assistance from our team to make the transition as smooth as possible. The podcast positioned REUSE Booster as the perfect entry point for projects that understood the value of clear licensing but weren't sure where to start. By making licensing best practices accessible and practical, REUSE helps the entire Free Software ecosystem build more sustainable, legally clear projects.

Alongside Lucy Harris from the Digital Public Goods Alliance and Bernhard Kowatsch from the World Food Program Innovation Accelerator, we explored how Open Source principles can unlock digital cooperation and help achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. As lead of FSFE's "Public Money, Public Code" initiative, I shared perspectives on how Free Software thinking applies to the digital public goods space.
 
-The episode built on the previous discussion about Open Source licenses and digital cooperation, diving deeper into practical applications. We discussed how the "open principle" can be applied to innovation ideas, what clear definitions and checklists exist for better achieving SDGs through public goods, and how this concept both helps and challenges innovation startups. The conversation highlighted the importance of Open Source not just as a development model, but as a foundational approach for creating truly public digital infrastructure.

 I have been invited to talk about Software Bills of Materials (SBOM) in SAP's Open Source Way Podcast, hosted by Karsten Hohage and with SAP's Sebastian Wolf as co-guest. We had an interesting conversation about the growing importance of SBOMs in the software industry and their role within Deutsche Bahn. We also discussed the limits of SBOMs and how they can be complemented with other approaches to better understand and manage risks.
 
-> In this episode, our host Karsten Hohage talks to Max Mehl and Sebastian Wolf about Software Bills of Materials or SBOMs. An SBOM is a detailed record of all components within a software application, including Open Source libraries, third-party dependencies and licenses. Max and Sebastian discuss the importance of SBOMs as well as some challenges and unanswered questions of the state of the art. They also speak with Karsten about SBOMs within SAP and Deutsche Bahn and the importance of SBOMs when it comes to Open Source.

 summary: In this article, I explain why DB Systel relies on Open Source for strategic collaboration and how we approach Open Source at Deutsche Bahn. An essential tool for that is the OpenRail Association, a neutral platform for the railway industry to share and collaborate on Open Source software. The article also highlights the importance of community involvement and how DB Systel fosters a culture of openness and collaboration within the company.

-> Organizations relying on open-source software have a wide range of tools, scorecards, and methodologies to try to assess security, legal, and other risks inherent in their so-called supply chain. However, Max Mehl argued recently in a short talk at FOSS Backstage in Berlin (and online) that all of this objective information and data is insufficient to truly understand and address risk. Worse, this information doesn't provide options to improve the situation and encourages a passive mindset. Mehl, who works as part of the CTO group at DB Systel, encouraged better risk assessment using qualitative data and direct participation in Open Source.
