ANOTHER #Linux LPE: CVE-2026-43503

If only Linus wasn't so obsessed with calling #OpenBSD developers "masturbating monkey" 18 years ago and actually took security seriously. 🤔

I'm starting to not like the direction that (some parts of) Linux appear to be heading.

The "some of" part is important, I think. Ultimately the foundation is a kernel. If the kernel stays OK, and people care enough and are willing to learn, can't Linux be steered in any direction we care to go? 🤔

You know that we non-flash people can just buy it on DVD-ROM from places like the Linux Shop, right?

#Linux

@nixCraft

#NeXT / #Apple had the right idea.

* User homes are in /Users

* Each app is in /Applications and looks like a regular file but is actually a folder (i.e. you can cd into it and examine the contents)

* The operating system is in /System

* Files shared among apps (except files that come with the OS), including configuration files, are in /Library

* Static libraries, debug info, C headers, OS API reference docs, etc go in /Developer

I'm learning (the hard way) that the wrong microSD card in the RPI4 will absolutely kill i/o performance.

For this weekend project I needed to just use what I had lying around but this will need an upgrade.

What are your preferred performance friendly microSD cards for use in RPI?

Another great shout out to @vermaden for this thorough introduction to #FreeBSD, especially if one is coming from #Linux. It may be several years old but much of the info is still relevant today.

The FreeBSD Handbook is great but the additional details and context for the topics covered are where this document really shines.

This needs to be required reading for anyone curious about the OS.

Ah, yes, the two types of #Linux users.

Here's some #vintage #tech for you. This is the Data General Nova 2. These 16-bit #minicomputers were very popular in the 1970s. Coincidentally this #photo was taken in the office of my last job, the #basement of a #government #research facility. I didn't take the photo but the link to the post is below.

I spent just over two years here managing #Linux and #Solaris servers. My #cubicle was just around the corner from these #machines, below flickering fluorescent lights. Exactly what you'd expect from working in the basement of a government building.

While these systems haven't been in use for decades and should have been in a museum, they were still on the books and inventoried annually. 🤦‍♂️

haha. Joke asides, there are few ways to ignore bash aliases. For example, to ignore python alias, type the `command` followed by alias name:
```
command python ...
```
Both \ and " symbols allows you to run real python command and ignore python alias at the CLI:
```
\python ...
"python" ...
```
Or just full path:
```
/usr/bin/python ...
```

This is meme about Linux or Unix CLI especially alias feature offered by bash. An inmate in prison asks a small fellow inmate, "What you in for?" The small inmate replies that they added 'alias python=echo "bash: python: command not found"' to a friend's .bashrc file. The large inmate backs away in terror, yelling, "Dude, WTF?!"

Why Drawing Tablet Brands Won't Collaborate on Linux FLOSS Drivers

After investigation; Gaomon, XpPen, and Huion won't collaborate on open-source drivers because of outdated naming conventions. Here's what I learned from direct contact with their technical teams, and what I plan to do to move forward.

It happened.

I don't know WHEN it happened, sometime recently, I suppose, but I now find myself opening terminal windows to do things instead of using graphical apps.

I'm typing in commands - with flags - from memory.

Commands are working on the FIRST TRY instead of the third...or twelfth.

I can edit config files and understand the syntax and structure.

I'm making my own aliases.

I want a new keyboard.

Holy shit!
