The first point-release for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is now available | GamingOnLinux
Canonical announced the release of Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS which brings together an updated download with all the bug fixes, updated apps, driver upgrades and more. Users will now also be prompted to update from earlier versions of Ubuntu, or automatically as part of update scheduling.
Since this is an LTS release (long term support), it will see updates until April 2027.
While not a major new distro release, it's worth noting since this is the first proper big update since the release of Ubuntu 22.04. A long list of the changes can be seen on their official Discourse forum like NVIDIA driver updates, Mesa driver updates for AMD / Intel, various crash-bug fixes for desktop users, Snap upgrades, kernel and firmware updates and much more.

What's new with Ubuntu 22.04.1? | TechRepublic
After a slight delay due to an installer issue, the first point release for Ubuntu 22.04 has been officially released. Although point releases are often overlooked by users, because they aren’t major upgrades, this time around you should certainly run the upgrade immediately.
The biggest reason is that this point release combines all of the security fixes and improvements that have been added since the initial release of Jammy Jellyfish. So, if you haven’t bothered to upgrade Ubuntu 22.04 since you first installed it, which you should have been doing all along, this point upgrade will add everything you’ve missed in one fell swoop.

Open Source OSINT Tools and Techniques
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is the practice of collecting information from published or publicly available sources for intelligence purposes. The term ‘Open Source’ within OSINT refers to the public nature of the analyzed data; publicly available information includes blogs, forums, social media sites, traditional media (TV, radio, and publications), research papers, government records, and academic journals. The scope of this information is almost infinite, concerning various people, companies, and organizations. Individuals who leverage OSINT can span from IT security professionals and state-sanctioned intelligence operatives with ethical intentions to malicious hackers with unethical intentions.

New Alert Sounds - Even a Stopped Clock
Sounds created for GNOME 43 were generated on a mini-computer called Teensy (currently unavailable due to the global chip shortage), running software called Dirtywave Headless written by Timothy Lamb. The software includes other synthesizer engines, but majority of the sounds were made using the 4 operator FM engine. To further complicate things, my favorite algorithm is No.16 where all of the 4 oscillators are carriers, effectively being equivalent to a 4 oscillator analog synth.

To form a complete circle, and to my genuine surprise, my old friend Noggin from the Jeskola Buzz days has composed a great track using only samples from the gitlab issue (my involvement with music trackers predates GNOME or Free software in general. An old friend indeed).
