If you're curious about Linux but hesitant to commit, a VM offers a safe, flexible solution. In case this is the first you're hearing of virtual machines, VMs are like a "computer within your computer," allowing you to run a different OS—like Linux—alongside your current one without making permanent changes. Every VM runs on top of an OS, which manages your computer’s hardware, software, and files. Popular OS options include Windows, macOS, and Linux.

If you’re not familiar with the Silverblue project, it’s a variant of Fedora that uses an immutable file system to allow for atomic updates and easy rollbacks. Silverblue also makes use of rpm-ostree, which delivers consistent versioning updates for Linux. One of the cool features of rpm-ostree package system is that it makes it possible to rebase your installation, so you can easily switch between Silverblue (GNOME), Kinoite (KDE Plasma), Sericea (Sway), and Bluefin (a customized version of GNOME). But we’re not here to talk about rebasing. Instead, let’s put Bluefin in the spotlight.

A closer look showed that its last release, version 1.1.1, happened in 2010. A few patches had accumulated in the Debian package, and I even noticed that I had passed on these patches to upstream five years ago. A handful crash bugs had been reported against the Debian package, and looking at the upstream repository I even found a few crash bugs reported there too. To add insult to injury, I discovered that upstream had accumulated several fixes in the years between 2010 and now, and many of them had not made their way into the Debian package. I decided enough was enough, and that a new upstream release was needed fixing these nasty crash bugs. Luckily I am also a member of the Xiph team, aka upstream, and could actually go to work immediately to fix it. * ⚓ Thorsten Alteholz ☛ Thorsten_Alteholz:_My_Debian_Activities_in_January 2025⠀⇛ § Debian LTS⠀➾ This was my hundred-twenty-seventh month that I did some work for the Debian LTS initiative, started by Raphael Hertzog at Freexian. During my allocated time I uploaded or worked on: o [DLA_4014-1] gnuchess security update to fix one CVE related to arbitrary code execution via crafted PGN (Portable Game Notation) data. o [DLA_4015-1] rsync update to fix five CVEs related leaking information from the server or writing files outside of the client’s intended destination. o [DLA_4015-2] rsync update to fix an upstream regression. o [DLA_4039-1] ffmpeg update to fix three CVEs related to possible integer overflows, double-free on errors and out-of-bounds access. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 480 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/09/Distributions_and_Operating_Systems_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/09/Distributions_and_Operating_Systems_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Distributions and Operating Systems (Leftovers)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 09, 2025 * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Rollback_if_broken_after_version_update⠀⇛ It happens.

The initrd has a boot menu: [...] * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ I_Love_Linux,_But_I_Daily_Drive_a_Mac_for_This_Reason [Ed: Focuses on "open-source [sic] license" to dodge aspects like Freedom]⠀⇛ Linux is a wonderful operating system, and its open-source license is commendable. But for day-to-day work, I can’t give up macOS. * § BSD⠀➾ o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Using_an_element14_Wi-Pi_[sic]_on_FreeBSD⠀⇛ With all my discussion last year about an ultraportable computer I can use on the train, I remembered that I bought a GPD Pocket in Akihabara back in 2018 for testing BSD hypervisors at conventions. It’s hinged, which isn’t ideal for commuting when standing, but I thought the form factor could be a good test case. * § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux Mint ☛ Linux_Mint_Monthly_News_–_January_2025⠀⇛ Hi everyone, We received donations from 852 people in December, for an all-time monthly record of $31,720! Every time this number goes up I think of it the same way. I imagine that many people in one big room, all there just for us. Imagine it for a moment. o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ I_Couldn’t_Boot_Ubuntu!_Here’s_How_I_Fixed_It_(And You_Can_Too)⠀⇛ Over the years, I've encountered various Ubuntu boot problems, from black screens to endless loading loops. Luckily, I've discovered several reliable methods to get Ubuntu up and running again.

You’ll need to feed that through a console-specific tool-chain, and there’s certainly going to be some hoops to jump through, but if everything goes as expected, you should end up with a ROM file that can be run in an emulator or played on real hardware if you’ve got the necessary gadgetry to load it. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 640 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/09/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/09/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Feb 09, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇bug_buster⦈_ * ⚓ Terrapin_Vulnerability_Scanner_for_the_Terrapin_attack_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ The vulnerability scanner requires a single connection with the peer to gather all supported algorithms. However, it does not perform a fully fledged SSH key exchange, will never attempt authentication on a server, and does not perform the attack in practice. Instead, vulnerability is determined by checking the supported algorithms and support for known countermeasures (strict key exchange). This may falsely claim vulnerability in case the peer supports countermeasures unknown to this tool. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Pop_PHP_Framework_-_toolkit_for_rapid_application_development_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ The Pop PHP Framework contains a group of core components and an additional 30+ components that serve as a toolkit for rapid application development. The focus of Pop is to provide a robust set of lightweight tools to assist developers with rapid application development. With a relatively small learning curve, Pop aims to help developers in getting the features they need into their applications so they can be up and running quickly. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Bochs_-_IA-32_(x86)_PC_emulator_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ The ‘typical’ use of Bochs is to provide complete x86 PC emulation, including the x86 processor, hardware devices, and memory. This allows you to run OS’s and software within the emulator on your workstation, much like you have a machine inside of a machine. It doesn’t use any host CPU virtualization features, therefore is slower than most virtualization (as opposed to emulation) software. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Melt_-_backup_and_restore_SSH_private_keys_using_memorable_seed_phrases -_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Melt is a utility that lets you backup and restore SSH private keys using memorable seed phrases. Only ed25519 keys are supported. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Cassowary_-_run_Windows_virtual_machine_on_Linux_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ With Cassowary you can run a Windows virtual machine and use Windows applications on Linux as if they were native applications, built upon FreeRDP and remote apps technology. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ qr-backup_-_paper_backup_of_files_using_QR_codes_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ qr-backup takes file(s), and outputs a “paper backup”: a printable black-and-white PDF full of QR codes. To back up your file, print the PDF. The pile of paper in your hand is now a backup of the file. If your file is lost, corrupted, deleted, etc, you can restore from your paper backup. qr-backup reads the QR barcodes using your computer’s webcam (or scanner) to get your file back. This is free and public domain software. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠀⠛⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣟⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠙⠻⢿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣶⠀⢂⠰⡆⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠘⣛⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠫⠉⠀⠀⠑⢽⠷⡹⠦⠤⢈⣱⣿⣿⣿⣟⣋⢩⢍⡙⣿⣻⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠱⠄⢀⢀⢀⠀⠰⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠠⡂⠀⠀⠠⠀⣠⡉⠃⠀⠀⢀⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣻⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⡃⣦⠁⣮⢔⠎⢴⢖⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢻⣿⢁⣃⠀⠀⣠⣞⡒⠃⠀⠀⠀⢘⡄⠀⢸⢿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⠀⠀⡀⠄⠂⢱⣿⣷⣏⠇⣃⣀⢘⣸⣾⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⢸⣷⠶⠷⠄⢺⠷⢂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠉⠘⠑⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠈⠰⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣄⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣖⣺⣩⣳⡀⠀⠋⠠⠁⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠔⣺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢶⡀⠀⠒⠀⠁⢠⣦⡴⠶⠰⣤⠆⠆⢶⠔⠖⠢⡴⠲⠔⡖⠲⠢⡴⠐⠰⡦⠲⠶⡴⠒⠶⢶⠒⠲⢦⣴⠀⠈⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠇⠄⢠⡇⠀⠠⡿⠠⠀⡼⠁⠀⢤⠇⠤⠤⠧⠤⠄⢽⠄⠠⢼⠤⠀⠼⡤⠤⠼⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⢰⡆⠀⢸⡿⠤⠤⡼⠤⠤⢼⠧⠤⢤⡧⠤⠤⠜⠤⠤⠤⠼⠤⠤⠼⡦⠤⠄⡧⠀⠄⢷⠄⠤⠄⠀⢸⡄⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⣰⣿⣷⠀⠀⣥⣤⣤⣧⣤⣤⣯⣤⣤⣼⣤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⣤⣷⣤⣤⣼⣤⣤⣼⣦⣤⡄⠀⣾⣷⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢠⣿⣿⣧⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣝⣿⣿⣿⣧⣬⣘⣃⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣬⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣀⣛⣁⣤⣬⣿⣫⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 782 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/09/FreeBSD_13_5_BETA1_Now_Available.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/09/FreeBSD_13_5_BETA1_Now_Available.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ FreeBSD 13.5-BETA1 Now Available⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 09, 2025 The first BETA build of the 13.5-RELEASE release cycle is now available.

Some are better suited for children than others. While Ubuntu is feasible, anything Arch-based probably won't go over well. My choice hinged on two things: stability and desktop environment. I wanted to run GNOME as the desktop environment. My kids both got their start on old eBay laptops running GNOME, and this desktop environment was intuitive enough for both. While GNOME may feel foreign to anyone who cut their teeth on old Windows 98 machines, it is easy to learn for the same reason most people are able to pick up and navigate a smartphone. I went with Fedora Silverblue. GNOME is the default desktop environment, and Silverblue is harder to break than traditional Linux distros. As an immutable OS, you can't break Silverblue by doing something as simple as killing power during an update or halfway through an app install—the kind of things kids are prone to do. The ability to roll back to previous versions is also a nice safety net in case something does go sideways following an update.

It’s often used to provide a scaffolding to build lots of similar project. I’ve seen it used to create Symfony projects and several cloud infrastructures deployed with Terraform. This tool was useful to accelerate the creation of new projects. Since these templates were bound to evolve, the teams providing these template relied on cruft to update the code provided by the template in their user’s code. In other words, they wanted their users to apply a diff of the template modification to their code. * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Hack_On_Self:_Quest_System_Basics⠀⇛ Whenever I play an RPG, whether it’s Fallout or Cyberpunk 2077, I complete every single quest available to me.

While Realtek continues to develop this out-of-kernel driver, it is important to note that it is not fully compliant with Linux Wireless Standards. This makes it more suitable for specialized use cases, such as embedded systems, rather than general desktop or server environments. For most users, adapters with in-kernel drivers are recommended due to their stability and ease of use. However, if you’re working with an adapter supported by this driver, here’s everything you need to know. * ⚓ TechRadar ☛ Changing_a_few_lines_of_code_in_Linux_could_apparently_save hyperscalers_billions,_research_claims,_but_I_am_not_convinced⠀⇛ Data centers reportedly account for between 2-4% of total electricity consumption around the world, something hyperscalers are understandably looking to reduce wherever possible.

Some of our servers are old, no longer powerful enough and have limited disk resources to meet the needs of developers. RPM manufacturing takes a long time and this is detrimental to the efficiency of maintaining and evolving the distribution. In short, the machines are well depreciated. This is why our infrastructure is first getting a makeover. Better adapted to new technologies, it will allow our developers to work faster and more efficiently. So where is this new infrastructure?

But I’d like to stress one point: this code requires no special permissions on Windows or Linux 2. If you’re on one of those platforms, any code a stranger gives you could be doing the exact same thing. If you want to be intellectually consistent, I think you should apply the same mindset to any other program whose source you haven’t read. At least my code is an easy to read open-source 200 line python script! * ⚓ Ben Hearsum ☛ A_Brief_History_of_Code_Signing_at_Mozilla⠀⇛ Mozilla has been signing Firefox in some form beginning with Firefox 1.0. This began with detached GPG signatures for builds, and progressed to Authenticode signing for Windows installers in Firefox 1.0.1. Since then it has evolved over time to encompass other platforms, other types of files within our products, and other ways that we ship (such as our own update packages). This post will provide a overview of the what, when, why, and how of code signing at Mozilla over the past ~20 years. * ⚓ Antirez ☛ We_are_destroying_software⠀⇛ We are destroying software by no longer taking complexity into account when adding features or optimizing some dimension. We are destroying software with complex build systems. We are destroying software with an absurd chain of dependencies, making everything bloated and fragile. * ⚓ Zig ☛ No-Libc_Zig_Now_Outperforms_Glibc_Zig⠀⇛ I feel that this is a key moment in the Zig project's trajectory. This last piece of the puzzle marks the point at which the language and standard library has become strictly better to use than C and libc.

Build tests are only done on 64bit OS’es nowadays. For obvious reasons: there are not so many computers left in the Western world that only support 32bit software. The thing is, there’s still a lot of old computer hardware in use outside of the wealthy West. Slackware is one of the few remaining Linux distros where the 32bit flavor is just as relevant as the 64bit variant. Yes, you may question the value of running really new software on really old hardware, but I think that is the users’ choice and if you happen to live in a country where a 2025 computer amounts to a year of salary, then I would want also those people to enjoy modern software and security patches. I can’t recall how many patches have been needed to make source code compile on 32bit Slackware for instance, but in most cases there would be a way to patch the source or circumvent the error. Patrick Volkerding does this for the distro core and I do something similar for the packages in my own repository. And we sigh and complain to each other when compilations fail due to the restrictive 32bit address space, the inability to specify either “lib” or “lib64” as the LIBDIR, the use of architecture-specific assembly code and CPU instructions, etcetera.

If so, you can disable them by installing a GNOME Shell extension. Now, notifications are helpful—heck, vital when they inform, alert, or indicate that something requires our immediate attention or actioning. But “app is ready” notifications? I don’t find them anything other than obvious. I’m not amnesic; I know the app is ready – I just opened it!

The school, which serves 5,000 students across three campuses, said the attack began on February 2 and impacted all online applications including email platforms and systems used for classwork. All online classes were cancelled. * ⚓ TechCrunch ☛ PowerSchool_data_breach_affected_16,000_students_in_the UK⠀⇛ PowerSchool hasn’t confirmed how many international students have been affected. However, in an emailed statement to TechCrunch, PowerSchool spokesperson Beth Keebler confirmed that four schools in the U.K. were affected, with hackers accessing the data of “approximately 16,000 students.” In a letter sent to impacted individuals outside of the U.S. and Canada, seen by TechCrunch, PowerSchool said that data accessed includes students’ contact information, dates of birth, limited medical data, and “other related information.” * ⚓ TechCrunch ☛ What_PowerSchool_won’t_say_about_its_data_breach_affecting millions_of_students_|_TechCrunch⠀⇛ PowerSchool, which provides K-12 software to more than 18,000 schools to support some 60 million students across North America, confirmed the breach in early January. The California- based company, which Bain Capital acquired for $5.6 billion in 2024, said hackers used compromised credentials to breach its customer support portal, allowing further access to the company’s school information system, PowerSchool SIS, which schools use to manage student records, grades, attendance, and enrollment. “On December 28, 2024, we became aware of a potential cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to certain PowerSchool SIS information through one of our community- focused customer portals, PowerSource,” PowerSchool spokesperson Beth Keebler told TechCrunch. * ⚓ ABC ☛ PowerSchool_cybersecurity_|_State_attorney_general's_office investigating_school_software_breach⠀⇛ Across the country and in North Carolina, hackers were able to potentially access personal data like social security numbers, names, addresses, and medical information in some cases. Attorney General Jeff Jackson told ABC11 there is no lawsuit on the table right now. Still, they're working to investigate the company to find out what they were doing before the breach to protect peoples' data and privacy. * ⚓ Canada ☛ Update_on_PowerSchool_data_breach_|_Government_of_Northwest Territories⠀⇛ Two weeks ago, the GNWT shared that the breach impacted data for the Beaufort Delta Division Education Council, Dehcho Divisional Education Council, South Slave Divisional Education Council, Yellowknife Catholic Schools, and Yellowknife Education District No. 1 (YK1). Through an investigation, the GNWT has now confirmed that student and staff data from additional education bodies – the Dettah District Education Authority and the Ndilǫ District Education Authority – were also affected, as these education bodies are included within YK1’s PowerSchool account. The breach has now been confirmed to impact approximately 35,082 individuals, including 32,734 current and historical students and 2,348 current and historical educators/staff from the Northwest Territories. Impacted individuals will be notified by PowerSchool directly. * ⚓ NBC ☛ PowerSchool_data_breach:_Thousands_in_Mass._affected,_company says_–_NBC_Boston⠀⇛ While the company has not provided an exact number of affected individuals, they have started to file incident reports with several state attorneys general. In Massachusetts, companies are legally required to report data breaches affecting residents’ private data. And according to Massachusetts’ latest data breach notification report, on Jan. 28, Powerschool reported that 18,476 residents were impacted – with both Social Security numbers and medical records being breached. * ⚓ Sinclair Inc ☛ NC_attorney_general_launches_investigation_into PowerSchool_data_breach⠀⇛ A news release from the attorney general's office said a hacker gained access to PowerSchool in December 2024, potentially exposing sensitive information such as Social Security numbers, addresses, minors' names, medical information, and disciplinary information. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2325 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/09/Zellij_The_Modern_Terminal_Multiplexer_for_Linux_Users.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/09/Zellij_The_Modern_Terminal_Multiplexer_for_Linux_Users.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Zellij: The Modern Terminal Multiplexer for Linux Users⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 09, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Zellij⦈_ In the world of Linux, terminal multiplexers are essential tools for developers, system administrators, and power users, as they allow you to manage multiple terminal sessions within a single window, making your workflow more efficient and organized.
