schmonz.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
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. 🤣

[$] Open source security in spite of AI
The curl project has found AI-powered tools to be a mixed bag when it comes to security reports. At FOSDEM 2026, curl creator and lead developer Daniel Stenberg used his keynote se [...]

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?
| Fedora 44: | 11 |
| Debian Trixie: | 16 |
| Arch or CachyOS: | 10 |
| Another option I'll explain as a comment: | 4 |
Linux tip: Use “ps aux --forest” for a neat process tree view. The parent-child relationships make it easier to find root causes of system load issues or zombie processes.

Several reasons why Ubuntu Is not a standard Linux experience
You are:
- Outsourcing understanding to system defaults
- Learning Ubuntu-specific syntax not Linux concepts
- Embracing bloat with Snap packages
- Settling for corporate meddling

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.

So I have a Digi CM48 terminal server, it’s pretty cool and uses an embedded Linux. Unfortunately its embedded Linux is ancient.
What’s worse, though, is that Digi says it’s sufficiently out of support that they “can’t” give me a link to the source code they’re required to provide under the terms of the GPL.
