So the CEO of Microsoft says if people stop using Windows, the AI bubble will burst…
Hello, have you heard the good word of Linux? #Linux
I want the ability to manually control when my laptop connects to my bluetooth speaker - so disabling autoconnect. I usually play music from my phone so the laptop autoconnecting can result in it taking over the phone.
The Internet says the way to do this is to "Untrust" the speaker, but then I get this dialog like 5-10 times after turning on the speaker, it's incredibly annoying to have to keep pressing deny.
Any ideas how to stop this? #Linux #EndeavourOS #ArchLinux
PH4NTXM Lone Wolf Mode Update:
We ran a test using p0f (passive OS fingerprinting) against PH4NTXM’s Lone Wolf mode.
Result?
Only a local loopback connection to Tor was visible — no meaningful OS fingerprint, no external signature, no identifiable pattern.
In Lone Wolf mode, traffic is encapsulated early. What observers see is Tor behavior, not the underlying system.
Lone Wolf doesn’t try to look like something — it disappears into Tor.

A #Linux distro should not comply in advance. It would be better to block downloads to deranged nanny state jurisdictions, than compromise security and privacy for everyone else on the planet.
Blocking downloads is a good way to handle this. It sends the right message, to those who could complain to their representatives to repeal the stupid laws.

Maybe you are using a distribution that is based on Debian and this is useful.

When I come home and my phone connects to the wifi that my Linux (Gnome) PC is also connected to, I would like all my new photos to be automatically sent from my phone to my PC.
I would like this to happen without:
- sending the photos via any third party on the internet
- using any proprietary apps
- having to set up Syncthing or anything similarly difficult
Is this even possible? If not, what's the second best alternative?
Thank you!

This week's Linux and FOSS news:
LINUX NEWS
Ageless Linux aims to openly oppose the California age verification law, will provide instructions about how to remove age verification mechanisms if they get implemented:
https://agelesslinux.org/
https://agelesslinux.github.io/
(It's a bit confusing though that they have two websites, with slightly different content.)
They also report the status of age verification:
https://agelesslinux.org/distros.html
https://agelesslinux.github.io/age-reporting/distro-specific.html
(Systemd laying the ground work is pretty worrying, I wasn't against Systemd until now, but I feel like it might be better to get out, and use some Systemd-free distros, will look at the options out there. Artix openly opposing and doing nothing is good to see, hopefully Devuan, Gentoo, Alpine, Slackware, etc. will do the same, although if a specific distro implements it, it will probably be relatively easy to remove it, Ageless Linux is pretty likely to provide some useful instructions for it, the Systemd thing is more worrying though.)
(Surprised about Kicksecure/Whonix, it's a distro which is used by people with especially high threat model, so implementing the age verification crap probably defeats the whole purpose of the distro.)
(I'll probably also download binaries for the programs I use, just in case Flathub also decides to comply with the App Store Accountability Act. It sucks pretty much that most programs don't have a built-in update mechanism, have to rely on package managers (except for Brave and a few others). It can also be pretty bad for YouTube frontends/downloaders like FreeTube and yt-dlp which break pretty often, quickly become unusable if they can't be updated... And of course, using a browser without updates is also a huge security risk.)
(Might be useful to download some webpages too, before they start requesting the age bracket.)

We are always trying to make @Vivaldi better and our latest release is another example of that. This time our focus was on hiding the UI. Why we do that? Because some of you have been requesting a minimal UI and that is what we have now delivered, but with the UI always close and also fully under your control. Try it out and you will understand! It can be accessed from a button in the status bar or through CTRL F11. Hint : Try associating it with fullscreen (F11), for an even better experience! There is a setting for that, of course.
Another function we added is follow tab. Tie together two tabs side by side. Click a link on the left side and view it on the right side. Great for going through search results without having to go back and forth or viewing images or the like.
Let me know what you think! I hope you like it!

The worst disgrace for Linux is have seen Red Hat aspiring to become the new Microsoft, and everybody "oh cool. Everything fine here!".
Who's behind SystemD? Pulseaudio (that took years before working seriously)? Wayland? Pipewire?
Guess who: Red Hat.
And who brought Red Hat?
IBM.
Yes, Wayland and Pipeware are promising, but the pressure to push aside well tested software is what Red Hat is doing.
And they are making life harder for evertybody isn't in their boat.
Sempre aparece alguém querendo profetizar o fim do pinguim, mas a realidade é que o Linux está mais forte do que nunca.
Wait, those open source heroes in the Linux world who valiantly sell enterprise software and provide the infrastructure for surveillance capitalism are preemptively complying with fascism?
Why, say it ain’t so!
Two weeks in. 23 containers. $0 hardware. Built from e-waste in a 40ft fifth wheel.
Here's what's running and where it's headed.
WHAT'S LIVE:
Suricata + Zeek — dual IDS watching every packet
Wazuh — SIEM + forensics
CrowdSec — crowdsourced threat intel
AdGuard + Unbound — private DNS chain
Node-RED + MQTT — automation nervous system and sensor bus
Local LLMs on a salvaged GTX 1050 Ti
Custom AI memory system — persistent context across sessions
TTS engine — she talks back
Grafana + InfluxDB — dashboards and telemetry
WHAT'S COMING — THE RV BECOMES SENTIENT:
Every light, shade, lock, and climate system on the MQTT bus. ESPHome sensors on every surface — doors, windows, water tanks, chassis vibration, air quality. Zigbee mesh throughout. Frigate NVR with local AI object detection on cameras. Presence tracking via Bluetooth beacons — the AI knows which room you're in and adapts around you.
Power monitoring on every circuit. Weather station on the roof feeding solar predictions. Water quality sensors on the freshwater input. TPMS on every wheel. GPS geofencing so the rig starts warming up when the truck gets close.
All local. All self-hosted. All orchestrated by one AI brain that never sleeps.
BUT HERE'S THE PART THAT KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT:
A weatherproof helipad and charging station on the roof. A coordinated drone fleet. Not one drone doing laps — multiple birds working together, redistributing tasks if one returns to charge.
Drone-to-drone mesh communication. They talk to each other. If comms drop, failsafe protocols bring them home.
Routine perimeter inspections of my own property on schedule. Spot checks triggered by IDS alerts. Aerial inspection when the network sees something unusual. Systematic grid mapping with thermal imaging. Site photogrammetry when parked somewhere new — build a local map before I even step outside.
Ground-deployed sensor packages — temp, air quality, gas detection. Instant remote monitoring posts without leaving the rig.
The IDS sees an anomaly. The AI evaluates. Drones launch under operator authority. Live feeds processed on-stack. Drones dock, charge, wait.
A 40ft fifth wheel with its own air force. Controlled by an AI that runs on a machine someone threw in the trash.
All on cellular. No fixed address. No cloud. Self-hosted everything on a machine someone threw away. Self-taught everything from scratch.
No reason. Just wanted to see if I could.

PH4NTXM Update:
Dynamic Network Drift Engine — Operational
We’ve successfully implemented and deployed the PH4NTXM network drift subsystem.
Live tc/netem manipulation is now active across interfaces, introducing controlled delay, jitter, packet loss, duplication, and reordering — all dynamically adjusted over time.
System behavior is no longer static.
Adaptive Profiles: Network parameters (TTL, RTT, window sizes, retries, etc.) are now randomized and adjusted per profile (linux, windows, android) with persistent seeding and jitter control.
State-Aware Drift: The system maintains lightweight RTT mapping and uses it to influence future behavior, avoiding unrealistic patterns.
Continuous Mutation: A timed drift loop continuously reshapes network conditions, preventing stable fingerprinting and deterministic signatures.
This marks the transition from static tuning → active behavioral obfuscation.
PH4NTXM now mutates its network presence in real time.

"Upgraded" an old MacBookPro10.2 (early 2013) from Debian to Alpine Linux. Bit a pain remembering how to get the Broadcom B43 driver installed but not a big deal (Thanks, Alpine Wiki!).
Nice, snappy little machine with a fantabulous screen. It's ancient (Ivy Bridge i5-3230M!) but still very usable for light duty computing.
This machine will probably live in the garage so I can stop using my big, "good" laptop for connecting to OBD ports and flashing crap and whatnot.
With the recent age verification stuff on Linux, be assured all users on machines i control will at least be 400 years old, just in case.
Hey @kde with the recent birthdate field being introduced into systemd and the lead developer being obnoxiously stupid about it, Plasma desktop relying more on systemd feels wrong.
Given the circumstances, I urge you to please reconsider systemd dependency on KDE platform and if possible, please think of alternatives.
When you said X11 is getting axed from the codebase, I was ok with because Wayland has improved significantly over the years and offers more almost all the functionality from X11; systemd is different.
This post is an attempt to make my case as a (happy and satisfied) KDE Plasma user for few years so please think again about getting in bed with that project.
It’s the weekend! Be sure to download ISO images of your favorite #Linux distribution before some #ageverification bullshit gets added to it…
Also, our birthday is 1970-01-01.

Just did my first distro hop from Fedora to MX Linux (with KDE Plasma ofc) :D (i had tried openSUSE first, then Devuan, both of which didn't like my hardware)
there was nothing wrong with Fedora, just figured i should try out at least one other distro before deciding to settle since Fedora was my first and only distro i had tried
so far MX Linux is looking good!
unfortunately i did forget to back up my Terraria save so there goes 130 hours worth of progress 😭

What you're referring to as 'UNIX', is in fact Berkeley Software Distribution, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, BSD UNIX. BSD is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another component of a fully functioning UNIX system made useful by the BSD corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Nobody will invite you to a "Mac Install Party", it doesn't require that kind of effort. Turn it on and click thru. Done.
