I've just powered it on for the first time in 20 years or so. And it still works! I'll start up a VM with Windows 98 (apparently there is also an open source SDK for linux but many websites from the era are no longer up) and see if I can get write some new software for it now that I am finally good at writing C code. Maybe I can port REBOUND?

I'll give the probably engineer guy in the audience props for the most creative idea around the loss of implied patent grants.

It'll be the proverbial interesting times. Denying existence or usefulness of the LLMs won't get anyone anywhere.

Hearing all of the current thoughts in this matter sort of sounds to me like a slow convergence of the ideas of IP and patent law.

📰🐧 Retrospectiva lunii iunie 2026 în Linuxverso: Ce a fost bun, rău și interesant în lumea Open Source 🚀🌐
Luna iunie 2026 s-a încheiat, lăsând în urmă o avalanșă de noutăți, actualizări majore și evenimente de impact în ecosistemul Linux și al software-ului liber. Într-o analiză de tip rezumat, comunitatea trage linie și evaluează cele mai importante momente, împărțite în trei categorii clare: cel mai bun, cel mai rău și cel mai interesant lucru petrecut în Linuxverso.
Iată principalele repere ale lunii care tocmai a trecut:
🟢 Ce a fost bun
Explozia de performanță prin recompilări moderne: Lansări precum cea a Parrot OS 7.3 au arătat o nouă tendință excelentă în Linux: oferirea de imagini optimizate nativ pentru arhitecturile de procesoare moderne (x86-64-v3 și ARMv8.2-A). Câștigurile masive de viteză (între 20% și 50% în sarcini grele) reprezintă un uriaș pas înainte pentru utilizatori.
Maturizarea desktop-ului COSMIC: System76 a continuat să impresioneze cu versiunea COSMIC 1.2, demonstrând că un mediu grafic scris de la zero în Rust poate oferi un nivel excepțional de fluiditate, rafinament vizual și opțiuni avansate de tiling, devenind o alternativă solidă la monștrii sacri GNOME și KDE.
Autonomie record pe hardware nativ: Prezentarea noului laptop Lemur Pro (2026) cu o autonomie de până la 18 ore sub Linux dovedește că optimizările aduse la nivel de kernel și firmware open-source (coreboot) pot rivaliza sau chiar depăși eficiența sistemelor proprietare.
🔴 Ce a fost rău
Sperietura provocată de vulnerabilitatea „DirtyClone”: Descoperirea acestei breșe de securitate de mare gravitate în kernelul Linux (legată de apelurile de sistem clone) a pus în alertă administratorii de sistem din întreaga lume. Vulnerabilitatea permitea rularea de cod cu privilegii de root și spargerea barierelor de sandbox, forțând marii distribuitori precum Canonical (Ubuntu) sau Tails să emită patch-uri critice de urgență.
Problemele de Kernel Panic din VirtualBox: Versiunea 7.2.10 de la Oracle a introdus un bug sever care îngheța complet calculatoarele gazdă Linux la pornirea oricărei mașini virtuale. Deși rezolvată rapid în sesiunea 7.2.12, eroarea a perturbat activitatea multor profesioniști care depind de virtualizare.
🟡 Ce a fost interesant
Schimbarea istorică de guvernanță la MySQL: Decizia Oracle de a deschide modelul de dezvoltare al MySQL prin crearea unui comitet extins, format și din membri ai comunității open source, reprezintă o mutare strategică extrem de interesantă. Aceasta este văzută ca o încercare directă de a recâștiga simpatia dezvoltatorilor în fața ascensiunii puternice a PostgreSQL.
Progresele Asahi Linux pe cipurile Apple M3: Comunitatea a privit cu admirație cum driverul grafic AGX (Mesa) a reușit să spargă secretele arhitecturii grafice complexe de pe procesoarele M3 de la Apple, aducând suportul pentru Ray Tracing și Dynamic Caching tot mai aproape de o stabilitate perfectă pe Linux.
Integrarea Stratis în instalatorul Fedora: Decizia de a aduce managementul avansat de stocare Stratis direct în interfața grafică Anaconda arată dorința celor de la Red Hat de a standardiza o alternativă modulară și robustă la sistemele de fișiere de tip ZFS sau Btrfs.
Concluzia lunii: Iunie 2026 a demonstrat încă o dată dinamica incredibilă din Linuxverso. În ciuda provocărilor inevitabile de securitate și a bug-urilor software, viteza de reacție a comunității și inovațiile aduse pe partea de performanță hardware și interfețe grafice moderne mențin ecosistemul open-source într-o formă de invidiat.

📦💽 Fedora 45: Tehnologia de stocare Stratis este integrată direct în instalatorul grafic Anaconda 🚀🐧

O schimbare importantă se pregătește pentru viitoarele versiuni ale distribuției Fedora. Suita de stocare Stratis, soluția inovatoare de gestionare a volumelor de disc dezvoltată de Red Hat, va fi integrată direct în interfața grafică a instalatorului Anaconda, permițând utilizatorilor să configureze această tehnologie avansată încă din faza de instalare a sistemului de operare.

Până acum, deși Stratis era disponibil în Fedora, configurarea sa ca partiție de boot sau sistem de fișiere principal trebuia realizată manual, din linia de comandă, un proces destul de tehnic și greu accesibil utilizatorilor obișnuiți.

Iată de ce această integrare reprezintă un pas mare înainte:

🔹 Ce este Stratis și cu ce seamănă?
Stratis este un demon de stocare (storage daemon) care își propune să aducă funcționalitățile avansate din sisteme precum ZFS sau Btrfs (cum ar fi instantaneele/snapshots, alocarea dinamică a spațiului sau thin provisioning, și extinderea rapidă a pool-urilor) în zona sistemelor de fișiere tradiționale din Linux. Stratis funcționează ca un strat de management peste tehnologiile existente din kernel: XFS (pentru sistemul de fișiere), LVM (pentru volumul de date) și dm-thin / dm-cache.

🔹 Configurare simplă prin Anaconda:
Odată cu această actualizare, ecranul de partiționare avansată din Anaconda va include o opțiune nativă pentru a crea un „Stratis Pool”. Utilizatorii vor putea selecta mai multe unități de stocare (SSD-uri/HDD-uri), le vor putea grupa într-un pool comun și vor putea genera volume logice dintr-o interfață grafică curată, fără a mai atinge terminalul.

🔹 Avantajele utilizării Stratis la instalare:

Scalabilitate dinamică: Spațiul de stocare nu mai este blocat rigid la o anumită dimensiune fizică. Volumele cresc automat pe măsură ce adaugi date, utilizând un concept de „stocare virtuală virtualizată”.

Instantanee (Snapshots) rapide: Poți crea puncte de restaurare instantanee pentru sistemul tău, un lucru extrem de util înainte de a face actualizări majore de sistem sau experimente software.

Monitorizare automată: Stratis se ocupă în fundal de optimizarea scrierilor și detectarea problemelor de alocare a spațiului.

Această decizie reflectă strategia pe termen lung a celor de la Red Hat și Fedora de a oferi o alternativă puternică, modulară și modernă la sistemul Btrfs (care este în prezent cel implicit în Fedora Workstation), oferind administratorilor de sistem și utilizatorilor avansați mai multă flexibilitate direct de la prima pornire a calculatorului.

🛠️🔌 fwupd 2.1.6 a fost lansat! Gestionare mult mai sigură și stabilă a actualizărilor de firmware pe Linux 💻⚡Proiectul open-source fwupd — utilitarul de bază folosit în Linux pentru actualizarea automată și sigură a firmware-ului componentelor hardware (de la BIOS/UEFI, la SSD-uri, mouși, tastaturi și hub-uri USB) — a primit o nouă actualizare majoră: versiunea 2.1.6. Această iterație se concentrează pe rafinarea motorului intern de detecție și pe eliminarea unor erori ce puteau bloca procesul de scriere a codului pe dispozitivele conectate.Iată principalele îmbunătățiri introduse în fwupd 2.1.6:🔹 Gestionare îmbunătățită a erorilor la scriere:Actualizarea aduce un plus de siguranță în momentele critice ale rescrierii firmware-ului. Procesul este acum capabil să intercepteze mult mai precis micro-întreruperile de comunicare cu dispozitivul sau instabilitățile de tensiune de pe magistralele USB, prevenind eșecurile catastrofale care ar putea lăsa un periferic nefuncțional (starea de brick).🔹 Suport extins pentru hardware modern:Fwupd 2.1.6 extinde baza de date cu noi profile de identificare (GUID-uri) pentru o gamă largă de componente de ultimă generație lansate de producători mari precum Dell, Lenovo, HP sau Intel. De asemenea, a fost optimizată interacțiunea cu dispozitivele ce folosesc protocoale speciale de stocare de tip NVMe și Thunderbolt.🔹 Optimizări pentru daemon-ul de fundal și interfețe grafice:Consum redus de resurse: Serviciul de fundal (fwupd.service) scanează acum magistralele sistemului într-un mod mai eficient, reducând numărul de treziri ale procesorului (CPU wakeups) atunci când calculatorul se află pe baterie.Integrare mai curată cu magazinele de aplicații: S-au rezolvat problemele de sincronizare din cauza cărora manageri grafici precum GNOME Software sau KDE Discover raportau uneori eronat succesul sau eșecul unei actualizări de firmware încapsulate în capsule UEFI.Prin parteneriatul extins cu serviciul LVFS (Linux Vendor Firmware Service), fwupd continuă să fie un pilon indispensabil pentru securitatea ecosistemului Linux, permițând utilizatorilor să își păstreze sistemele protejate împotriva vulnerabilităților hardware fără a părăsi sistemul de operare. Versiunea 2.1.6 va fi integrată rapid în depozitele marilor distribuții Linux în perioada următoare.#fwupd #fwupd216 #LVFS #FirmwareUpdate #LinuxHardware #BIOS #OpenSource #TechNews

The 1000-perimeter Pythagorean triplet: one loop, then none

Open-sourced SindriKit, a C library for building offensive capabilities.

Instead of tightly coupling execution like traditional PoCs, it uses a DI model to completely decouple (for example) SSN resolution from invocation to evade call-stack telemetry.

What I personally think is the core feature, though, is the DX for MalDev. As you can see below, injection and reflective loading are just a couple of config setups (e.g., switching to direct syscalls instead of WinAPI) and then just one or two function calls.

Open to architectural feedback or code review: https://github.com/youssefnoob003/SindriKit

🐧 Als plötzlich Schluss war...

Vor wenigen Tagen besuchte ich wieder einmal OpenOS.at – eine Webseite, die ich seit vielen Jahren immer wieder gern genutzt habe. Statt der gewohnten Startseite erschien jedoch nur noch ein kurzer Hinweis:

„Diese Webpräsenz wurde am 26. Juni 2026 (nach 12 Jahren Betrieb) eingestellt.“

Damit endet nach zwölf Jahren ein Projekt, das für viele Linux- und BSD-Interessierte eine feste Anlaufstelle war.

Das erste Bild zeigt die frühere Startseite von OpenOS.at – mit aktuellen Distributionen, Nachrichten, Statistiken und Veranstaltungen aus der Welt freier Betriebssysteme. Das zweite Bild zeigt, was heute davon übrig geblieben ist.

Warum OpenOS eingestellt wurde, wissen wir bisher nicht. Vielleicht gibt es persönliche Gründe, vielleicht fehlte die Zeit oder Unterstützung. Vielleicht fand sich einfach niemand, der das Projekt weiterführen wollte. Solange es keine offizielle Erklärung gibt, sollten wir darüber nicht spekulieren.

Mich bringt das jedoch zum Nachdenken.

Viele von uns nutzen täglich freie Software, Webseiten, Foren oder Dienste. Wir freuen uns über aktuelle Informationen, hilfreiche Programme und funktionierende Server – oft ganz selbstverständlich und kostenlos.

Doch hinter all dem stehen Menschen.

Menschen, die ihre Freizeit investieren. Menschen, die Server betreiben, Inhalte pflegen, Fehler beheben, Updates einspielen und Fragen beantworten. Oft über viele Jahre hinweg und meist ehrenamtlich.

Gerade Projekte, die von einer einzelnen Person oder einem kleinen Team getragen werden, leisten Erstaunliches. Gleichzeitig sind sie aber auch besonders verletzlich. Wenn die Motivation nachlässt, das Privatleben mehr Zeit fordert oder gesundheitliche Gründe dazukommen, kann selbst ein langjähriges Projekt plötzlich enden.

Vielleicht erinnert uns das Ende von OpenOS daran, dass Open Source und freie Communities vom Mitmachen leben.

Nicht nur nutzen.

Nicht nur konsumieren.

Sondern auch einmal Danke sagen, Fehler melden, Dokumentationen schreiben, anderen helfen, einen kleinen Betrag spenden oder selbst mit anpacken.

Denn genau davon lebt unsere Gemeinschaft.

Ich möchte mich deshalb heute bei allen bedanken, die im Hintergrund dafür sorgen, dass freie Projekte überhaupt existieren – egal ob Entwickler, Administratoren, Übersetzer, Autoren oder Community-Mitglieder.

Ihr macht das Internet ein Stück besser. ❤️
