  1. 🐧 SIGINT // Linux Watch — 2026-09-03

    7.1 is officially dead, so if you're tracking mainline on that homelab NAS, it's time to move to 7.2 before the CVE backlog starts pointing fingers at you specifically.

  2. 🐧 SIGINT // Ubuntu Watch — 2026-09-03

    Netfilter nft_compat ebtables emulation crash - NAT-relevant on ipv4/ipv6 bridges, so anyone running nftables with bridged containers or VMs should check kernel patch status before assuming this is fixed upstream.

  3. I finally made the switch away from my clanky little Arch Linux installation over to ElementaryOS. I'll be honest, it isn't exactly the most intuitive switch for *my brain*, but I think that the approach is correct. Elementary acts like a *normal desktop*. It's got a suite of built in software that all integrates really well into the desktop.

    You have an Online Accounts app that lets you connect your Gmail, for instance, and it will immediately import that into the email app, as well as grabbing your calendar into the calendar app and toolbar widget. It also imports your todo list into the Tasks app, and your contacts into the Contacts app.

    This kind of functionality, in my opinion, has been one of the biggest failures of Linux desktops so far, and Elementary is nailing it. Not without issues, but the approach is correct.

    Many Linux proponents will hyperfocus on the "UNIX philosophy" of modularity in apps, and thus totally neglect to consider a larger system going on, where apps all share information with some particular common source (like an account manager). This is really no different than relying on a system having an up-to-date Python interpreter or various system libraries.

  12. Muchos proyectos de #SoftwareLibre en #Linux están creando ramas (forks) sin ia.

    Gran parte de la comunidad del SL prefiere mantenerse leal a sus convicciones e ideas y toman otro camino.

    No se trata de atacar a quienes la aceptan o quienes la rechazan. Si algo celebran los monopolios tecnológicos bigtech es una comunidad enfrentada.

    Quien decide usar ia no es un enemigo, el enemigo son las #bigtech y su visión de futuro en donde el humano se subordina a la máquina (de ellos).

  17. CERN is dropping for . All 2200+ systems by the end of the year.

    The reason being is that the "-march=x86-64-v2" compiler flag default as "forced obsolescence" for old hardware.

    It's not without headaches, mostly due to "the lack of standard tooling for automated building and publishing of packages - a lot of gaps in the official tooling. There are also a number of tools not supporting multiple versions of the same packages."

  18. Our poultry house has been fully completed today.
    The next step is to introduce some birds (layers) that will help strengthen our programs in the communities.
    However, we hope to widen all our work after getting the land that we are raising for currently,hopefully we shall be able to make it by end of this year.

  23. Will containers replace VMs? That was once the debate.

    Today, containers often live inside VMs: Virtual machines provide infrastructure isolation, while containers handle application distribution and execution.

  24. Gerade beim Einrichten eines KI-Servers mit Debian 13... Und erstmal aufgehalten, den Nvidia-Treiber in mehreren Anläufen zu installieren. Klasskier.
    Manche Dinge ändern sich einfach nie :)

    Trotzdem finde ich Debian Weltklasse, vor allem als Server-System.
