So, a Linux distro community recommended that I go to Reddit to get support for that Linux distro. I just want to go to a Reddit-like platform again because it hurts me and I have trauma. It is not person-centred. This means the users are anonymous, and they take advantage of what they find—other users being trolls—to justify their trolling behaviour.

Steam stats suggest that gaming on Linux is more popular than ever, Wine improvements might entice even more gamers, Ubuntu might break things when it tightens up GRUB security and makes 6GB of RAM the minimum requirement for the desktop edition, and Ubuntu MATE is looking for new maintainers.

Hey fedi 
Does anyone know a good opensource firewall for a Linux server with an admin panel in web or tui?
I want to see recent tcp & udp connections, preferrably some info about their contents (e.g. compute JA4 fingerprint for TLS, extract domain from DNS request) and be able to immediately block by source/dest IP subnet, ASN, geoip, maybe even by JA4.
I guess i can just google it but i want to hear your recommendations. Firewall is a high-privileged software that have to be trusted anyway.
Thank you

I had not noticed that there was a new edition of "The Linux Command Line" until today.
If you use Linux, and perhaps especially if you are new to Linux, and want to get to grips with command line / terminal usage, it is well worth dipping into this free (CC BY-NC-ND) tome:

Recently, during a production incident response, I guessed the root cause of an outage correctly within less than an hour (cool!) and submitted a fix just to rule it out, only to then spend many hours fumbling in the dark because we lacked visibility into version numbers and rollouts… 😞
This experience made me think about software versioning again, or more specifically about build info (build versioning, version stamping, however you want to call it) and version reporting. I realized that for the i3 window manager, I had solved this problem well over a decade ago, so it was really unexpected that the problem was decidedly not solved at work.

Conclusion: Stamp it! Plumb it! Report it!
My argument is simple:
Stamping the VCS revision is conceptually easy, but very important!
For example, if the production system from the incident I mentioned had reported its version, we would have saved multiple hours of mitigation time!
Unfortunately, many environments only identify the build output (useful, but orthogonal), but do not plumb the VCS revision (much more useful!), or at least not by default.
Your action plan to fix it is just 3 simple steps:
Stamp it! Include the source VCS revision in your programs.
This is not a new idea: i3 builds include their git-describe(1) revision since 2012!
Plumb it! When building / packaging, ensure the VCS revision does not get lost.
My “VCS rev with NixOS” case study section above illustrates several reasons why the VCS rev could get lost, which paths can work and how to fix the missing plumbing.
Report it! Make your software print its VCS revision on every relevant surface, for example:

Running Podman 
in production for years now, and I don't miss the Docker daemon one bit.
I just published a deep dive on managing OCI containers the Unix way: daemonless, rootless, and natively integrated with systemd via Quadlets.
I cover:
- Real secrets management
- Auto-updates via systemd timers
- The Docker compatibility layer
This is the guide I wish I had when making the switch.

boostedI run 21 OCI containers with Podman (and Quadlets!) on my ARM aarch64 server on Netcup with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 10.1. Memory utilization is a bit high, but the system is working absolutely stable for months.
TLS certificates and ingress-routing is handled fully automatically by Traefik and labels, attached to the containers.
Having everything containerized, makes it really easy to clean up 🙂 There's some applications, that I don't even use anymore. Time to clean up.
Then I'll continue, replacing the old Authentik installation with Keycloak for my OIDC applications (Forgejo, Wallos etc.)

Das ist interessant und bedenklich - bezüglich des weitverbreiteten LibreOffice!
Auszug:
"LibreOffice ohne Collabora ist wie ein Auto ohne Motor. Die Karosserie steht noch, der Lack glänzt, aber bewegen wird es sich nicht mehr lange. Die Collabora-Entwickler haben nicht irgendwelchen Randcode geschrieben. Sie waren für die schwierigsten und wichtigsten Teile der Software verantwortlich - die Import- und Export-Filter für Microsoft-Formate, die Kern-Engine von Writer, das Build-System, das Performance-Refactoring. Das sind die Komponenten, die darüber entscheiden, ob dein DOCX-Dokument korrekt aussieht, ob dein XLSX-Tabelle richtig rechnet, ob die Software flüssig läuft oder bei grossen Dateien einfriert. Ohne die Leute, die diesen Code seit Jahren pflegen und verstehen, wird die Qualität unweigerlich nachlassen. Nicht sofort. Nicht morgen. Aber schleichend, Release für Release, bis irgendwann die frustrierten Foreneinträge überhandnehmen und die Distributionen leise anfangen, nach Alternativen zu suchen.
(...)
LibreOffice war für viele von uns mehr als eine Software. Es war ein Beweis dafür, dass das Open-Source-Modell funktioniert. Dass eine Gemeinschaft aus Freiwilligen und Unternehmen gemeinsam etwas aufbauen kann, das mit den Produkten der Tech-Giganten mithalten kann. Dass man Software schaffen kann, die niemandem gehört und allen dient. Dieser Beweis hat jetzt einen tiefen Riss bekommen. Nicht weil die Technologie versagt hat, sondern weil die Menschen dahinter versagt haben - oder genauer: weil die Strukturen versagt haben, die verhindern sollten, dass genau so etwas passiert."

"This Month in #KDELinux" brings the news that...
You should never deploy alpha software in production machines 😬! A systemd bug broke booting an updated system, a systemd update broke Discover, but the good news is everything has been sorted and hardened now.
On the plus side, KDE Linux users get friendlier feedback, better connectivity with Apple devices, and improved multi-language support.

@nielsa no, that's not what I'm telling you.
I prefer to believe that most people will be thoughtful.
＂… a huge number of bugs. I have so many bugs in the Linux kernel that I can't report because I haven't validated them yet. I'm not going to make some open source developer validate bugs that I haven't checked yet. I'm not going to send them potential slop … I now have … several hundred crashes that they haven't seen because I haven't had time to check them. We need to find a way to fix this …＂

#Linux... I'm sudo. I can write any file on this thing. Any age verification on here could be defeated/removed. How would they enforce it? Garuda even pointed out they're not based in areas with these laws.
If they want more than just typing it in, how does that work in a CLI only install?
What about machines with no hardware to scan things?

I wonder which of those has the easiest installer? I’m sure one of them is better than the others for a someone new to Linux.
