Kleiner Nachmittagstipp: Wenn ihr `rm -rf` tippt und kurz zögert – hört auf diese Stimme. Sie hat schon Karrieren gerettet. 😅

Pro-Tipp: `alias rm='rm -i'` in der .bashrc, dann fragt das Ding wenigstens nochmal nach. Oder gleich `trash-cli` installieren, dann gibt's auch unter Linux einen Papierkorb auf der Kommandozeile.

Wer hat noch so kleine Sicherheitsnetze im Terminal? 👇

Curious how common/popular it is to use #LVM partitions instead of standard #Partitions these days. I was just looking at the Arch Wiki page for [LVM](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/LVM) and I was surprised by all of the disadvantages they called out. I feel like I had assumed it was mostly all advantages. I guess looking at the list of disadvantages, the only one I'm wondering about is the "potentially worse performance".

On your laptops or desktops, do you typically use:

🚨 A third Linux kernel local-root flaw has been disclosed: Fragnesia. 🚨

Like Copy Fail & Dirty Frag, Fragnesia gives root on all major distributions. Every supported AlmaLinux release is affected.

Help us test the patched kernels: https://almalinux.org/blog/2026-05-13-fragnesia-cve-2026-46300/ #linux

A cartoon character standing in front of a sign that reads “DAYS WITHOUT LPE IN LINUX” and has a zero next to it. The character is replacing the zero with a zero.

Copy Fail, Dirty Frag and now Fragnesia...

Upside: if you have already ripped out esp4, esp6 and rxrpc for Dirty Frag, you already have the mitigation in place for Fragnesia.

Is there anyone out there running an AMD 5650GE based system running Linux or BSD?

Can you tell us your CPU and GPU idle power numbers as displayed in btop?

Maybe this is an "easy button" of sorts to reduce power on an existing AMD AM4 system without going through the machinations of new mobo, ram, etc., etc. Get most of the way there?
