Super popular game (Arc Raiders), deployed on k8s.

I have a Pixelbook Go that I managed to shoehorn Fedora on bare-metal. It makes a surprisingly awesome little #Linux machine. Not super fast, not a lot of storage (128GB,) but ergonomically may be the best ultrabook ever made.

🐞 Linus Torvalds says AI-powered bug hunters have made Linux security mailing list ‘almost entirely unmanageable’

“So just to make it really clear: If you found a bug using AI tools, the chances are somebody else found it too. If you actually want to add value, read the documentation, create a patch too, and add some real value on *top* of what the AI did. Don't be the drive-by ‘send a random report with no real understanding’ kind of person. OK?”

How does Fedora process patches for security vulnerabilities? The short answer is that we work to stay on top of the news to implement patches, working in the community and with Red Hat for updates.

The long answer: https://fedoramagazine.org/how-fedora-is-responding-to-recent-kernel-vulnerabilities/

At the end of the day, the best thing you can do is keep your system updated. :)

I had an amazing time at the #linux app summijt, here's my talk on GNOME OS and KDE Linux.

It's awesome to see the energy around buildstream, and I'd like to thank all the people who helped put Dakotaraptor together.

Sometimes as a builder, you just know when you've made something special. And it feels even better when you know you've picked a kickass tech stack.

Seven years of running FreeBSD on ThinkPads alongside Linux — lessons I'd give my younger self

<https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1tedyva/seven_years_of_running_freebsd_on_thinkpads/>

＂I daily-drive Linux at work and FreeBSD on my personal ThinkPads (T480 & P52 currently). Both laptops and both operating systems, every day. I'm the kind of person who reads freebsd-update output and Phoronix benchmarks in the same hour.

＂Recently saw the "is FreeBSD really that goated" thread and it brought back the timeline of my own journey. Started with a rough —call it version 0.9 — build that barely had X11 working, evolved through five iterations, landed on something I'd call "production-stable personal desktop" around version 2.0 on FreeBSD 15.0 with a heavily customized MATE, ZFS boot environments, BastilleBSD jails for microservices, WireGuard tunnels and PF.

＂If I could send a packet back in time to my earlier self, here's what I'd put in the payload: …＂

The image here is for <https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1tedyva/comment/om1t5mg/> because we can all agree that em dashes make scintillating conversation.

My prompt to ChatGPT: Draw a unicorn that has been genetically combined with a dolphin. The creature is flying across a rainbow whilst a gentle rain falls on lush green Welsh meadows beneath the rainbow. The sky, in the background, is an unnaturally vivid shade of purple. Below the rainbow: a quaint cottage with a person stood at the front door. The person is the mascot for BSD (Beastie). On the lawn in front of the cottage: a badly broken old IBM ThinkPad. In the sky, to the left of the rainbow: instead of a golden sun, place the FreeBSD logo (a red orb with horns).

grep/find/sed/awk/make/ssh/git/nvi often compose better than many modern “integrated” environments.

Small programs connected together still scale surprisingly well.
