L’épisode 3 du TP #serveur #web #Linux, édition 2026, spécial débutants en #sysadmin aura lieu exceptionnellement lundi 23/02 à 18h #twitchfr #twitchstreamer #TwitchStreamers #debian #ubuntu #virtualisation #nginx #php #mariadb #wordpress

Just added another sensor to #sysinspect — "procnotify".

In this very short demo: as long as a new process is "bash" (use "zsh", LOL), #sysinspect SIGKILLs it.

Key points:
1. procnotify detects a new process
2. a model is getting triggered (in this case just a process killer)

Currently:
Native: #linux, #netbsd
Others: external fallback path.

Shipped out the first two rehabilitated Thinkpads this morning. These have SSD drives, upgraded RAM and are running Linux Mint instead of the usual bloatware/spyware. Light and lean. Yay for repairability. 🛠️

If there's someone in your life that needs decent laptop for general use, let me know. I will refresh and ship one at no charge. (Donations are welcome, to cover the cost of shipping.)

These books are over 20 years old. Obviously much has changed since they were released but I still hang onto them since many of the concepts are still relevant.

On a side note: I'd probably find some masochist level of joy running these ancient OSes as daily drivers. 🤣

Vim v9.2 is released. There are many magnífico features I look forward to use. VIM is a Swiss Army Knife for editing Source Code & text.

The features are too many to mention, no really I don't know them all; NOBODY DOES!
Just like with the GiMP I know the functions I need and learn more when the requirement arizes. VIM has an extensive help system which Bram Molenaar et all developed over the decades that VIM exists.

History
VIM was initially coded on the Amiga computer systems of which I own an A4000T with a Cyberstorm 060 and Max Ram, with RTG card (Picasso 96), a A1200 vanilla with a stock HDD & an A500 with stock RAM (chip and fast) and 3 FDD 2x 3.5" 1x 5 1/4"

Bram wrote VIM in such a way that it runs on the A500 with just 512kB RAM!

There are people who love EMACS. To them I say

<flame bait>
EMACS can't hold a candle to VIM
</flame bait>

Of course that is just humour. In the Open Source world choice is what makes us all work and play well on whatever hardware we have with whatever tools we love

New Features in Vim 9.2

Comprehensive Completion: Added support for fuzzy matching during insert-mode completion and the ability to complete words directly from registers (CTRL-X CTRL-R). New 'completeopt' flags like nosort and nearest offer finer control over how matches are displayed and ordered.
Modern Platform Support: Full support for the Wayland UI and clipboard has been added. On Linux and Unix-like systems, Vim now adheres to the XDG Base Directory Specification, using $HOME/.config/vim for user configuration.
UI Enhancements: A new vertical tabpanel provides an alternative to the horizontal tabline. The MS-Windows GUI now supports native dark mode for the menu and title bars, along with improved fullscreen support and higher-quality toolbar icons.
Interactive Learning: A new built-in interactive tutor plugin (started via :Tutor) provides a modernized learning experience beyond the traditional vimtutor.

Vim9 Script Ecosystem & AI Integration

The maturity of Vim9 script's modern constructs is now being leveraged by advanced AI development tools. Contributor Yegappan Lakshmanan recently demonstrated the efficacy of these new features through two projects generated using GitHub Copilot:

Battleship in Vim9: A complete implementation of the classic game, showcasing classes and type aliases. [GitHub]
Number Puzzle: A logic game demonstrating the efficiency of modern Vim9 for interactive plugins. [GitHub]

^Z

I wonder why they have LLM support?

Note
The download page looks horrible on mobile so you'd be wise to view it on desktop

If this is your first time using VIM and you didn't bother to read the help file with `:h`
Just exit VIM type `:wq` to write & exit or type `:q!` to exit without saving the file

My primary laptop is still on Fedora 42, so I need to take a bit and refresh it. I usually do a full backup and fresh install rather than upgrades.

Debating whether to go to #Fedora 44 once it hits beta, try #Arch or #CachyOS, or move to #Debian Trixie on this machine. I'd lean toward Debian right now, but I'd have to start compiling #niri on my own since it's not available in Debian Trixie, nor does the project supply Debian packages.

Thoughts?

Lenovo
TIl about an interesting OS option by Lenovo, on their notebook computers. Logical yet interesting and expected

You get an *Open Source* OS by default from Lenovo. No more win64 as default

If you want closed source you have to **ask** for it and pay the _hefty premium_ that microSoft's microslop demands, for their LLM infected, malware like OS. Lenovo wants to sell it's notebooks for the best price possible if you want an OS, and microsoft does not meet those demands anymore (for a while)

Loss per unit USD47 with win64
Profit extra per unit USD89 with Open Source Linux OS. The decision is logical

Happy #ilovefs day, everyone!

A huge thank you to all the amazing free software community members who build and distribute the software we use everyday.

A special thank you (because I like and use these projects) to the Xfce team, the GrapheneOS developers, the Fedora and openSUSE community, the LibreOffice community, and the wonderful people behind the BSDs.

On another year of awesome free and open source software.

For running Linux apps on macOS there's now this Wayland compositor that's native to Mac. The demo video features Fuzzel by @dnkl and Niri by @YaLTeR

https://youtu.be/VS3vQp5i8YQ?si=u52YycbIYc5458GK

Looks like the expected way to use it is to run Linux apps on a remote machine and use "waypipe" to display them natively on macOS.

It's novel in that's there's no VM involved.

Celebrating #WorldRadioDay with the most portable OS on the planet. 🌍

Whether it's the embedded controller inside a vintage radio or the legendary NetBSD Toaster 🍞, the ham/ 📻category in #pkgsrc has you covered.

Why just make toast when you can transmit packets over the airwaves at the same time?

For those who want to start some new project in response to the #Discord thing, I applaud your determination and good intentions, but please just be honest that you have a good **decade or two** of work ahead of you if you want to start from scratch. If that feels like it's too far into the future, you might instead want to consider throwing in your efforts to **existing** projects, and doing whatever you can to lift up whatever weaknesses they have, having gotten to know them well for their strengths and weaknesses. This takes time - to gain a sense of the ecosystem. Whatever ugly legacy they have, please do your best to tolerate it (say, #XML) **if it's working**, and not creating ongoing problems.

Voltaire famously said: "Perfect is the enemy of good". Alas, huge numbers of #OpenSource geeks have a very hard time learning this lesson.

Many good, existing projects need help **marketing**!! They need help with grassroots efforts to build more of a userbase. They need help getting into classrooms, getting into school curriculum, getting into a default install of #RaspberryPi OS, #Debian, getting into the "Welcome Wizard" app shown after a fresh install.

"Open" LLM models are almost never Open Source.

They are "Open Weights." This means the company allows you to run the model, but you have no right to see how it was made or what data it was trained on.

We need to stop letting companies redefine "Open Source" to mean "available for download." Words have meanings.

If a company claims they are open source but plans to "someday" release the code, or hides the training data, they are a poser. This is "Open Washing." They are co-opting the term to earn the community's goodwill for marketing without actually respecting the four freedoms.

Sony's introduction of the PS2 Linux Kit caught the attention of researchers at NCSA. They combined 70 PS2 consoles in 2003 to form a supercomputer, highlighting its ability to perform complex scientific calculations.

I thought it might be fun to share the current Terminal Tilt workload and the state of things for February 2026.

We recently crossed 1000 subscribers (currently at 1033) and 100,000 views since starting the channel in December. That is pretty amazing and it shows there is a thirst for honest #NoAI Linux based videos that explore all things technology (especially privacy).

The "Sovereign Authentication" Series Video 0 of the hardware security key series is already live (published Feb 9!). Today was a heavy production day, I recorded the voiceovers for 3 of the 4 remaining videos. I have one more VO to capture, and then the heavy lifting begins in Kdenlive.

Each video usually takes me between 2 and 8 hours to edit. I’ve already finished the thumbnails, so once that final recording is done (hopefully tomorrow, depending on life in general), I’m jumping straight into the timeline.

Once the security series wraps, I am looking at my 4-year-old Keychron Q1 V2. I have heavily modified it, lubed Gateron Ink v2 Blacks, custom padding, and keycaps. That video will serve as a primer for future keyboard reviews, followed immediately by a look at the Epomaker TH99 Pro currently sitting in the box next to my desk.

In the future, I am also working on:

A look at the Divoom Pixoo 64 (pixel art display) and the Fanttik E2 Ultra electric screwdriver.

A giant overview of ~50 Debian-based (non-Ubuntu) distros. I have had requests for "shiny" trend chasing distros like CachyOS, but I am resisting chasing the views.

I am researching Linux-friendly networking equipment for future reviews, probably going to look at a few switches.

I am also exploring the potential of doing live streaming. I have concerns about doing it on YouTube as their algorithm can penalize your long-form videos when you post VODs from past streams. I might just start streaming on Twitch, but that audience doesn't seem to fit what we are building. OwnCast would be ideal but I don't think my homelab is ideal for that setup. I could stream on PeerTube but I am also worried about filling up my allotted storage with VODs on my instance.

Some ideas I have had for a live streaming are things like maintenance of my Thinkpad by cleaning and reapplying thermal paste, or we could do "Sysadmin Sundays Mornings" where I update and maintain all of the systems I am responsible for, or even blindly exploring obscure and unique distros together. We could also just do some Linux Gaming. We will see, no promises.

I have a .md file overflowing with ideas, so there is plenty more to come. Thanks for following the journey!
