The #Lenovo #ThinkPad P14s (Ryzen version) running #Fedora #Linux is my absolute jam for a work laptop.

Just a few days ago a #multikernel architecture was proposed for #Linux kernel. Separate from that proposal from #MultikernelTechnologies, it turns out #Bytedance has been working on their own solution called #Parker. Today Bytedance lifted the lid on Parker as their solution for running multiple kernels simultaneously on the same hardware/system.
It looks like several firms are now pursuing multi-kernel experiments for better dealing with today's high core count systems

Somewhere in a desert... Girl and Penguin are eating breakfast. Penguin: "Morning, slept well?" Girl: "mhmhmhm" Penguin: "What's today?" Girl checks her school schedule. It's Monday, morning class - history. Girl: "History. Penguin, unenthusiased: "Sounds exciting."

Alt...

Classroom. Fish begins the lesson. Fish: "I wanted to call this class mythology, but Purple said history suggests that some of it might actually be true. Nobody remembers how long ago, but as you know, the world ended. While the inheritors of the ravaged land learned to adapt to their predicament, three brothers, successors of those who brought about the end, set out into the destroyed world to ruin it some more." LAST REMAINING MATACORPBUNKER B_73; three brothers "Well, gentlemen, we ate all the women, children and uly. The water purifier is busted and the only person who could fix it was Parkinson."

"I think it's time to do what our great great great grandparents spoke of - Go outside and restart civilization." "Ugh..."

Here’s a fun one. How do you run `perf` on demand targeting specific pids running in a discrete namespace which also contains the symbols, not using ssh?.

Other constraints:
- immutable os
- is effectively just a kubelet
- network connectivity and acls can be mutated if needed
- some form of authNZ (okta, iam, etc)

I think best bet would be wiring together all the privileges to run this as a container and being able to mount the symbols as a vol. Still not sure tho.

Returning to the Valley from SF, feeling mostly quite tired (in a generally good way). Will soon depart, then work, then sometime in the evening decided whether to install a MikroTik CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe, or a Mellanox CX-5 2x25G (OCP v2 form factor) mounted on a PCIe converter card. 🤔

This announcement is a few months old, but #GNOME 49 is now placing stronger dependencies on #systemd.

This means distros that don't support systemd, including the BSDs, will need to incorporate work-arounds. The post also outlines what would be necessary to make that happen.

Reason 5 To Choose Linux 😍

Education!

Learn how your technology works! #Linux 🐧 empowers anyone to learn their systems and experiment.

Linux is #FreeSoftware #OpenSource. The source code is open for all, and you are encouraged to explore and contribute.

With proprietary software, you need permission to access the code that runs your digital life.

Linux? The software is available to learn from and improve. For everyone. Always.

Reason 6 To Choose Linux 😍

Gaming … yes, gaming!

Can I play games on 🐧 #Linux? Yes you can, and it has never been easier!

Using a #SteamDeck? You are #gaming on Linux already 🚀

#LinuxGaming has entered a whole new era over the past decade. Thousands of popular AAA games run seamlessly on Linux and, in many cases, performance is equal to or even better than on #Windows, especially on older hardware.

Reason 7 To Choose Linux 😍

You decide when to install updates and reboot your computer!

Security updates are critical. They should be done early and often to keep your computer safe.

But you don't want your device to force an update - and then reboot - while you're working.

With #Linux, the decision when to update is yours.

Reason 9 To Choose Linux 😍

No AI bundling! You decide if you want generative #AI / #LLM tools on your operating system.

There are many reasons to use or not use #genAI.

These tools are powerful, but also power-hungry in training and use.

With a critical eye they may speed up productivity, while feeding you confabulations / hallucinations.

With #Linux 🐧 the choice to have AI on your OS is yours!

Being thankful is important, esp. when you use opensource software.

I'm thankful to the coder(s) of gping a command which sends a nice graphical output in *sh when you invoke it of the ping reponses of your favourite server

In the same line I again want to thank the coder(s) of httping which can send you ping responses in an awsome way

The image shows a computer screen with a terminal window open, displaying network latency data. The terminal window is titled "mocp" and shows a ping test to the server "ftp.sunet.se" with various latency measurements in milliseconds, such as 277.41ms, 262.225ms, and 247.04ms. The background of the terminal window features a green digital rain effect, which is a visual representation of data being processed. Below the terminal window, there is a timestamp indicating the time as 11:49:09, and a video player interface is visible at the bottom, showing a timestamp of 11:49:24. The video player is paused, and the video displays a rural scene with a structure resembling a gazebo and trees. The overall color scheme of the image is dark, with green text and graphics contrasting against a black background.

The image shows a detailed network performance analysis tool interface, likely from a command-line application. The interface displays various metrics and graphs related to network activity. At the top, there are columns labeled "latest," "mocp," "avg," "max," "sd," "mc-a," "cur," "cafe," and "RemAD," with data such as "resolve," "connect," "ssl," "send," "request," "close," and "total" presented in numerical values. The graph at the bottom shows a timeline of HTTP responses, with green bars indicating successful responses (200 OK) and red bars for failed attempts. The HTTP response code is "200 OK," and the SSL fingerprint is "n/a." The "Last-Modified" timestamp is "Thu, 10 Apr 2025 15:18:21 GMT," and the "Expires" timestamp is "Tue, 23 Sep 2025 15:08:53 GMT." The "Content-Type" is "text/html; charset=UTF-8." The interface also shows the run time, which is "2025/09/23 12:07:33.408," and the total number of requests, "4341751." The graph indicates a high frequency of successful responses, with a few failed attempts. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B 🌱 Energy used: 0.903 Wh

Spent my morning figuring out why Nginx was dead on a server with many days of uptime. No reboot, no kernel panic. Just... down. Ubuntu 24.04.

The cause? An automatic unattended-upgrade of libc6. This prompted systemd to work its magic, wisely deciding to restart every running service to apply the patch. Fine.

The problem is, in the exact same minute, the systemd timer for certbot decided it was time to renew certificates.

The result:

- systemd stops Nginx.
- Port 80 becomes free.
- certbot, in standalone mode, immediately grabs it for validation.
- systemd tries to restart Nginx, which fails with "Address already in use".

The web server was knocked offline by its own certificate renewal script.

I swear, this is the kind of cascading failure that has never happened to me in years of running *BSD. With a classic cron job, certbot would have failed, logged an error, and tried again the next day. The web server would have remained untouched.

systemd was doing its job, but something failed because of the interactions.

Sometimes, too much automation and too many interconnected parts just create more spectacular ways for things to break.

@_anon It’s good you listed a #linux distro in your introduction. I don’t think people are allowed on here if they don’t have opinions on Linux.

😜 welcome.

Well as expected, eventually this instance of #linux on the desktop, has started acting weird out of the blue. running #Bazzite / #universalblue with KDE plasma, where the plasmashell (??) will just try to restart it self then just die.

Don't know if its a #kdeplasma problem or a Bazzite problem but will now I gotta nuke this entire install all over again and try CachyOS. What a PITA.
