#Debian LTS contributors released 56 DLAs fixing 877 CVEs in May, a larger number than usual. The Kernel team deserves a special mention for handling the disclosed vulnerabilities on #linux regarding Local Privilege Escalation with public proof-of-concept exploits. On the LTS side, the Front Desk team also triaged a significant flow of high severity CVEs and notable security updates were released for exim, gnutls28, krb5, lemonldap-ng, imagemagick, openjdk-11, openjdk-17, php7.4, python3.9 and more.

Several patches were prepared by Catalyst for #Samba 4.17 shipped with Debian 12, to fix vulnerabilities disclosed in May, thanks to Freexian's partnership with them to extend the support.

LTS team also contributed with updates to the latest Debian releases, #bookworm and #trixie.

Linux ported to Sega’s Mega Drive

If you have a Sega Mega Drive, you obviously want to run Linux on it. That's something you can do now. You do need to have an EverDrive, but don't worry, the port in question contains a custom fork of Qemu for those of us that don't.

I don't know what else to say, other than I wonder why nobody did this sooner.

#Linux

@ChuckMcManis @AnachronistJohn @f4grx I'm oretty shure @pid_eins didn't start #SystemD "for the lulz", but because #SysVinit #Linux took longer to boot on a midrange laptop in 2007 than it took me to get out of bed, get dressed, brush my teeth and eat breakfast back then…

#occ2027 #vintage #Linux #Unix #FOSS

So I might have managed to organize a "Linux & Open-Source" interest group at work.

Who do I know that would like to visit the Norwegian state broadcaster and talk about Linux or FOSS this autumn?

In Go we format with gofmt. In Python we use black. What do we do in JavaScript?
I have tried installing oxfmt, but it says "not in #OpenBSD".
It should preferably work on all platforms, and be recent enough to include #ES6.
I prefere it to be strict.

@lproven I strongly agree that an update of the "Raspberry Pi Desktop" for x86 PCs would be very welcome. I have an old notebook PC which I only use when travelling. It works great with RPD, but I worried that was getting too old, so put a newer Debian on it. This led to great difficulty with WiFi etc., so now I have reinstalled RPD.

New blog post!

I've only used it for a few weeks, however I've quickly come to ❤️ Void Linux.

I show the choices I make to create an encrypted Root-On-ZFS minimal Linux system with "just enough" to provide a solid foundation to build upon further: whether that be setting up a desktop, laptop, or server.

https://www.dwarmstrong.org/void-linux-install-zfs/

So I wanted to share with you this little project of mine. I delved into "retro-necromancy" and reanimated one very old UNIX utility called ile written by Robert Pendleton in 1988. I found it on one of the Walnut Creek source code CDs from 1994.
What it does is simply works like an input line editor (hence ile) for shells and programs that do not support interactive line editing. To put it simply, it adds Emacs-style keybindings like ^A, ^E, ^K, ^U and so on and command history that you can easily navigate.
Of course, these days it's hard to find a shell that doesn't support line editing.
But this little tool can still be usable, for example, with ed. It's nice to have Emacs-style editing in ed.
It can work like shell replacement or just run like a "middleman" between any given program. It respects terminal settings and doesn't get in a way. Keybindings are configurable.
Needless to say, the code from 1988 wouldn't run on any modern system. It was written in K&R style because there was no ANSI C standard yet! And #UNIX was quite a different beast back then.
So I ported it to modern systems, rewrote outdated bits (like sgttyb ioctls and brutal utmp handling).
Currently it builds and runs on #Linux, #OpenBSD, #FreeBSD and #NetBSD. Hopefully without too much bugs.
You can find it on Codeberg:
https://codeberg.org/chesheer/ile

Currently installing #Debian #Buster in a VM in hope that I can mount a #UDF disc with a big spare table, because apparently #Linux decided to *enforce not supporting* spare tables bigger than one block rather than *start respecting* the UDF standad that says such tables are valid.

DON't ask me how I know.

... and it was all for naught, because even pre-5.10 #Linux kernels cannot read a #UDF filesystem with a bigger-than-one-block spare table. Anyone got an idea how to read such a filesystem? Some #BSD system maybe?

I tried to SSH into my #Linux server but kept getting “Permission denied (publickey)”.
Story of my life. even my own machine doesn’t trust me 😒

@evan @riverpunk @alice @blogpost

While from one point of view (yours) a hashtag is just a hashtag and this is just using them in a creative way that the system permits, in reality they have meaning and in this case meaningful personal attributes that are not at all like #history or #linux. That's where judgement, discretion and care are exercised in curation. Your tool removes that judgement, discretion and care, and in Alice's case thereby removes their agency which is why it's upsetting.

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. 🤔

and KaOS Linux:

I wish them well! There's always room for more diversity in operating systems.

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? 🤔

Hey, Linux perverts; if you want mainstream normies to use your OS you need to make it a LOT easier to install. I am happy torrenting an ISO, checking the hashes, flashing a USB stick, and all of other nonsense because I am a greybeard nerd. Most folks? Not so much. It's got to get easier or it will only ever be a niche of a niche. #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.

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

It's a minimal system information utility for Slackware, inspired by the philosophy of ufetch while providing a few extra details such as installation age, glibc version, and Flatpak package count.

The goal is to keep the code small, readable, and easy to hack.

One of the special functions we have in @Vivaldi is single key keyboard shortcuts. Off by default, this allows you to bind just about any key to a function. My personal favorites are Z and X for going back and forth in history and 9 and 0 to zoom.

Why we have it? It is all about speed of operation and accessibility.

We had this in Opera as well. I think I even implemented the first version myself.

We got great feedback from users that used this extensively, including users using this for accessibility.

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.

Wie aus einem Backup-Problem BackupPilot entstand

BackupPilot entstand aus dem Wunsch, die Nutzung des Proxmox Backup Clients für Linux-Anwender einfacher zugänglich zu machen. Der Artikel erzählt, wie aus einem internen Werkzeug der OneSystems GmbH ein Open-Source-Projekt für Desktop- und Server-Systeme wurde.

Wegen Systemüberlastung hab ich vorhin den Rechner leider mit eingesteckter ext. Festplatte notausgeschaltet. Hatte sich aufgehängt.

Jetzt komme ich immer nur bis zu diesem Bildschirm hier und wenn ich Manjaro anwähle, kommt lange nichts (schwarz), dann wieder das hier.

Mit Stick booten geht. Bevor ich den Rechner aber neu aufsetze, frsge ich mich und euch: Was könnte ich noch probieren?

Starten lässt sich unterbrechen, aber was ich dort machen könnte, weiß ich grad nicht.

My first company, Opera, was built on word of mouth. The same applies to my 2nd company, @Vivaldi. We have never had the means that Big Tech has. In the case of Vivaldi, we have even avoided investors, to not end up like Opera.

We have also made it harder for our selves. We likely could have generated more funds through adding stuff like Crypto, AI or just plain old data collection in the browser, but we choose not to. We are also not an Ad company like most of our larger competitors. Instead we have added a wealth of features and customization.

Now people are starting to understand that just going with Big Tech may be easy to start with, but ends up not being worth it. In fact we now have governments and companies thinking that they need to move away from Big Tech and quickly.

We welcome you all.
