Do you Patch machines regularly? Even when your bandwidth is constrained take the time to patch them and be safe.

In this example I photographed the patching of one of the micro SD Cards of the SBC.

I've patched all of them.

For the X86 machines the Os on the main 2280 SSD is patched. Other SSD and HDD will follow. The BSD HDDs need patch Love 💕 too. They will get it

I think that there isn't an existing off-the-shelf model.

The idea of separating "good" commercial copying and re-use from "bad" commercial copying and re-use has long done the rounds in free software circles, and it has always come up against two things:

1. How does one define "good" and "bad"?

1. Such distinctions are against the principles, held by many of the founders of these ideas, that freedom is for everyone.

https://gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html#selling

https://opensource.org/osd#persons-or-groups

There's almost certainly an on-going debate about excluding large (language) models from "free to copy and use" rights. But it's just another case in a long-standing argument about trying to exclude various "bad" categories of users; and the people on the prevailing side, when coming up with "free" and "open", have long rejected this.

So you're not going to find something from CC or GNU or some such that you can just pull off the shelf for achieving such an end.

The last new #Linux #kernel for 2025 was just released and there are some really cool changes all around. One of the new additions is detection for FreeBSD's #bhyve #hypervisor. Wicked cool!

From the article:

"In what might be a sign of the quiet continued spread of FreeBSD, the kernel can now detect and handle that it is running under FreeBSD's built-in bhyve hypervisor. Coincidentally, FreeBSD 15.0 just appeared as well, and in this release bhyve supports over 255 virtual processors [PDF] in a VM. Now Linux can handle that configuration."

The juicy details are here:

What Brings People to FreeBSD?

Recent comments on our community post showed just how diverse the paths into FreeBSD can be. Some users have been running FreeBSD since the 1990s for its stability and predictable behavior. Others found it through TrueNAS, books, mentors, user groups, or simply curiosity.

Thank you to everyone who shared their experience. These stories help newcomers see the many ways FreeBSD supports real-world work.

GNOME has had that system for more than two decades or so IIRC {if I recall correctly} they're 27 ATM.
I had seen it in the first couple of years of GNOME spawn and development, when the programmers chose the route of less configuration & more dictation

🦀 APT Rust requirement raises questions // @lwn

｢ Julian Andres Klode's declaration that APT would require Rust in May 2026 means that a few of Debian's unofficial ports must either acquire a working Rust toolchain or depend on an old version of APT. This has raised several questions within the project, particularly about the ability of a single maintainer to make changes that have widespread impact ｣

Happy Disability Pride Month everybody :)

During the past few weeks, there's been an overwhelming amount of progress with accessibility on GNOME Calendar:

• Event widgets/popovers will convey to screen readers that they are toggle buttons. They will also convey of their states (whether they're pressed or not) and that they have a popover. (See !587)

• Calendar rows will convey to screen readers that they are check boxes, along with their states (whether they're checked or not). Additionally, they will no longer require a second press of a tab to get to the next row; one tab will be sufficient. (See !588)

• Month and year spin buttons are now capable of being interacted with using arrow up/down buttons. They will also convey to screen readers that they are spin buttons, along with their properties (current, minimum, and maximum values). The month spin button will also wrap, where going back a month from January will jump to December, and going to the next month from December will jump to January. (See !603)

• Events in the agenda view will convey to screen readers of their respective titles and descriptions. (See !606)

Accessibility on Calendar has progressed to the point where I believe it's safe to say that, as of GNOME 49, Calendar will be usable exclusively with a keyboard, without significant usability friction!

There's still a lot of work to be done in regards to screen readers, for example conveying time appropriately and event descriptions. But really, just 6 months ago, we went from having absolutely no idea where to even begin with accessibility in Calendar — which has been an ongoing issue for literally a decade — to having something workable exclusively with a keyboard and screen reader! :3

Huge thanks to @nekohayo for coordinating the accessibility initiative, especially with keeping the accessibility meta issue updated; Georges Stavracas for single-handedly maintaining GNOME Calendar and reviewing all my merge requests; and @tyrylu for sharing feedback in regards to usability.

All my work so far has been unpaid and voluntary; hundreds of hours were put into developing and testing all the accessibility-related merge requests. I would really appreciate if you could spare a little bit of money to support my work, thank you 🩷

After two weeks of writing, revising, and trying to make everything as digestible as possible, I finally published "GNOME Calendar: A New Era of Accessibility Achieved in 90 Days", where I explain in detail the steps we took to turn GNOME Calendar from an app that was literally unusable with a keyboard and screen reader to an app that is (finally) accessible to keyboard and screen reader users as of GNOME 49!

I've had such a fabulous time at the TYPO3Con over the last two days. Lots of great conversations with agencies who are increasingly finding they're being asked to provide marketing stack services and delighted to find @mautic as an open source alternative to the many proprietary tools out there. Almost lost my voice from all the talking!

Can't wait for the next day, and the awards event tomorrow .. even got my posh frock dusted down!
