Så har jeg endelig modtaget min Sailfish mobiltelefon, som kører Linux og Android apps i simulator-sandbox. Det spiller bare. Under opsætningen blev jeg spurgt om jeg ville bruge Android apps og der var sat et flueben ved Android AppSupport. I bunden kunne jeg så tilføje et flueben ved Aurora Store og F-Droid, hvilket jeg gjorde. Derefter kunne jeg installere Android apps og bruge dem, da jeg lige var blevet fortrolig med at navigere i Sailfish brugerflade. #sailfish #linux #mobiltelefon
Wondering how many homelabbers bother with #SSL certificates for local network stuff. I have tried so many times over the years to figure out how to do this and I can never seem to get them to work. I feel like every guide I find is always missing some part or something that I just can't sort out.
Do you use self-signed certs or a local certificate authority on your local network?

I would like to escape from systemd. Two options considered were Artix and Void, but Artix is on Twitter and Void is heavily reliant on M$ GitHub. But a plus is that the latter is on Mastodon as well.
Are there more progressive options? I'd prefer rolling release, fairly bleeding edge and ideally precompiled packages are available. Main socials are in the fediverse and hosting is e.g. forgejo/gitea/codeberg. A policy against LLMs would be great, too.

Weil meist auf Mint und Ubuntu, CachyOS (Archbasis) und auf MX und andere Debian-Derivate verwiesen wird, will ich hier OpenSUSE-Linux empfehlen. Mit SUSE startete ich 1998 in Linux, jetzt habe ich einen HP Laptop mit OpenSUSE Leap und KDE Plasma aufgesetzt. Installation lief ebenso smooth wie bei anderen Distros. Man darf nur nicht vergessen Plasma vorab auszuwählen.
Sehr gut vorkonfiguriertes System. An Zypper gewöhne ich mich (bye, Yast!)

For Linux users on servers/personal computers, do you use full disk encryption (FDE), if so did you know about these performance tweaks? #luks #linux
I found out after using full disk encryption on my Linux devices for a long time that there are these tweaks that make it soo much more efficient and fast (as in throughput and latency).
I am talking about `no-read-workqueue`, `no-write-workqueue` and `discard`. Most distros do not set these options when you check to encrypt your drive at instalation, and using these tweaks really makes a big difference, try it for yourself.
I wrote a post on it: https://cosipa.dev/posts/full-disk-encryption-tweaks/
As always no AI used in the making of the post and no tracking/cookies or anything like that.

Zapscape (CVE-2026-64561) is another reminder that the hypervisor boundary is only as strong as the code implementing it.
The vulnerability is a guest-to-host escape in Linux KVM's x86 Shadow MMU. The root cause is a stale-root validation ordering bug that allows the page fault handler to continue using an invalidated shadow MMU root after quota reclaim, ultimately leading to a use-after-free primitive. Public research demonstrates a complete guest-to-host escape chain, although exploitation requires privileged code execution inside an L1 guest and nested virtualization exposure.
I put together a deep technical analysis covering the Shadow MMU internals, nested virtualization, exploitation stages, cross-cache reallocation, KASLR bypass, AMD vs. Intel trigger conditions, the upstream fix, and why simply moving a stale-root check eliminates the entire exploitation chain.
Interested to hear how others assess the practical risk for multi-tenant KVM deployments where nested virtualization is enabled.

I love this old behemoth. It's the Stag Solar ROM burner. I also have one of them crappy and lame USB burners too, but this is just so much cooler.
It runs with StagCom 95. The 95 meaning it's not any of those tired old Windows 3.11 programs, but the new 32 bit Windows 95 ones! And in 2026 it runs just fine under Wine in Linux, although from the last time I had used Wine, it had gone through an evolution of being split into 32 and 64 bit versions, so I had to recover the StagCom installation.

@subm3rge Having a 1.5kg laptop with 24 cores is "nice", and arguable more *powerful* than an ARM SoC with ~50nm die.
However, the actual usefulness diminishes sharply behind typical deskwork tasks that can absolutely be done in a performant way on 4 cores in a lean #linux #distro.
And all of that has been reverse engineered to the X so big tech really has no moat against people doing their own thing.
Shai-Hulud strikes again: CHAINDROP worm hits 400+ npm packages
On August 4, 2026, a sophisticated supply chain attack compromised the keyv npm package maintainer, deploying CHAINDROP, a self-propagating worm that automatically backdoors packages using stolen npm credentials. Over 400 npm packages were infected, affecting more than 1.3 billion monthly downloads. The worm executes via preinstall hooks, deploys across Linux, macOS, and Windows platforms, and harvests credentials from over 300 patterns targeting AI tooling, cloud providers, GitHub tokens, and npm credentials. CHAINDROP uses Ethereum smart contracts for C2 resolution and propagates by publishing trojanized versions of packages the compromised maintainer can access. The payload is heavily obfuscated and contains Dune-themed references consistent with previous Shai-Hulud campaigns.

Ein NoGo, dass #Microsoft damit das sichere Booten für #Linux Systeme in der Hand hat. Wenn Microsoft sich entschließt morgen keine Linux Bootloader mehr zu zertifizieren, können die nicht mehr mit #UEFI gebootet werden. Man kann das abschalten, kein Problem. Aber hier geht es um das Prinzip. Mit Schuld sind die PC Hersteller, die nur MS Zertifikate im BIOS installieren. Auf neueren PCs teilweise sogar nur die neueren von 2023 und nicht mehr die Alten von 2011, was dann zur Folge hat, das alte Kernels nicht mehr booten.
Ich würde mal sagen das System ist „broken by design“
Linux muss einen Weg finden sich hier aus der Geiselhaft von Microsoft zu befreien. Und die PC Hersteller sind ein Schlüssel dazu. Aber die haben wahrscheinlich alle die Hosen voll, weil sie, wenn sie das unterstützen, Repressalien von Microsoft befürchten müssen.
Das ist auch der Grund, warum so gut wie jeder neue Rechner mit MS Lizenz ausgeliefert wird und der Käufer kämpfen muss das zurück erstattet zu bekommen.

Desktop Linux just cracked 10% market share - and Windows 11 is mostly to blame
https://zdnet.com/article/the-linux-desktop-finally-cracks-the-10-market-share-barrier/ via @ZDNet & @sjvn
Windows is in decline, and both Macs and #Linux are gaining ground at its expense.
#Linux adoption is likely to be higher even than that, because some Linux-users configure their browsers to identify as Windows for reasons of either compatibility or privacy. (For instance, if you enable #Firefox's "resist fingerprinting" setting, as I have, it identifies as Windows, regardless of OS.)
Anyone with a amazon #kindle paperwhite 3 (2015, 7th Gen) who would be interested in installing #Linux 6.15 and getting rid of nearly all the Amazon bits?
I'm now looking for brave alpha testers to dig out their old kindle and test installation scripts (there is a chance of bricking which could be rescued by tapping the serial lines)
Let me know if you are interested.
@PabloMartini
Until it's possible to fix/repair problems without EVER having to touch the Terminal/CLI, #Linux will NEVER become the dominate OS. 😞
Despite having used Linux for 20 years, Windows is still my primary OS.
(Another problem: Too many Linux variants that aren't cross-platform compatible.)
@MugsysRapSheet @PabloMartini Sadly, I don’t think that’s ever going to happen, since there are some things that are easier and/or quicker to do in the terminal/CLI regardless of operating system.
For example, it’s easier for me to perform pings and traceroutes in terminal.
Plus, GUI programming is difficult in the #linux space in general, especially because of different frameworks and those different frameworks not all having the same components.

Linux, reinstalação do CachyOS [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Gosto de GNU/Linux, mas me espanto com algumas situações. Exemplo: um erro durante atualização do kernel motivado por falta de espaço no SSD. Uso partição btrfs com snapshots, mas quando reiniciou, sumiu foi tudo! E, como estava sem kernel, não tinha muito o que fazer. Não perdi dados, mas deu uma trabalheira para reinstalar.
Aproveitei para testar o KDE Plasma. É visualmente lindo, mas como uso muito o teclado, logo esbarrei nuns bugs com atalhos. Instalei novamente e vi que o CachyOS permite cumular Xfce4 + i3wm (print em anexo).
É o mesmo "setup" que usei antes de o sistema quebrar, mas como marquei ambos na instalação, tenho a impressão que a integração ficou bem melhor, com o i3wm aplicando os temas escuros, por exemplo. Vamos ver agora se vai corrigir um bug / conflito chato com apps padrão e no download / upload com navegadores comuns.
Preciso aprender o básico de Linux no que se refere a uso de terminal, permissões de arquivos e pastas etc. Mas como é bom ter um sistema customizado nos mínimos detalhes e uma memória "muscular" dos atalhos de teclado personalizados.
