On August 8, a new batch of 60 free and open source projects was selected for the NGI Zero Commons Fund.
We want to thank these project teams for working on the digital commons and contributing to open, secure and trustworthy digital infrastructure for all.
This brings the total of grantees within the programme to 494 projects. There are still two more calls currently under evaluation for the program.
Meet the projects! https://nlnet.nl/news/2026/20260808-60-new-projects.html

Adding NoAI and NoImageAI robots meta tags to your Joomla 4 website
As well as blocking CCBot and GPTBot using robots.txt
In reaction to robots freely crawling the web and incorporating every valuable asset they find into (closed) AI models, creatives (platforms) have introduced new robots meta tags to denote that they do not want their content to be worked into these models.
One reason is that creators consider "incorporating into an AI model" in itself as an infringement of their copyright. Another reason is that AI models are known to sometimes be able to produce (clearly) recognizable parts of the original works, which then become part of work produced by users of the AI model.
In this article we show how you can add the 'robots noai' and 'robots noimageai' meta tags (invented by DeviantArt) to your Joomla 4 website.
We also show you how to stop OpenAI's web crawler from processing (parts of) your site, using the robots.txt file.

Configuring MAME on Fedora Linux
Finally sat down to properly configure MAME on my Fedora workstation.
Here is what I did and found out:
- MAME contains only emulators (machines), no games (ROMs), so the default ROMs directory
/usr/share/mame/roms/is empty - as an ordinary user, you create your personal ini file
~/.mame/ini/mame.ini(start with a copy of/etc/mame/mame.ini) and add your directory$HOME/.mame/romsto therompath, which allows MAME to find your ROM files
Adding an arrow icon to external links in Joomla
Many websites automatically add an arrow icon to links pointing to external addresses. Most notable example is Wikipedia, but there are many other sites that do the same.
Here is what I did to add similar arrows to my Joomla-based website.
Programming in R: adjusting USD prices for inflation
Unfortunately, adjusting daily USD prices for inflation in R is not as straightforward as one might hope. It requires the download of the monthly Consumer Price Index statistics (CPI) from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) using the blscrapeR library. And then some fiddling with the dates before the inflation factors can be merged into the price table.
