A good reminder that writing CUPS printer drivers doesn't have to be complicated.

Flatpak is at a crossroad I'd say. The project really needs to find a way to move forward.

This is a funny setup. It's not very expensive either.

It is indeed in a weird state on Linux to say the least. Make sure to follow the links there, they lead to more precise resources.

Nice new tool from the Tor project. Looks like it'll make it really easy to push traffic to Tor from the command line.

Nice table of the Linux syscalls. You can search for them based on ABI and version. It even points to their definition.

A bit of a rant, but since it looks like people are still trying to consider all those technologies are equivalent... I think it's good to have an explanation on what makes containers different.

Nice exploration of the important areas in the kernel.

Nice performance comparison of file handling in multithreaded context. It's surprising how slow MacOS seems to be there.

This is indeed forgotten features available in our desktop and browsers. It can be very convenient.

This is obviously all good news on the Wayland front. Took time to get there, got lots of justified (and even more unjustified) complaints, but now things are looking bright.

Due to NetworkManager you forgot how to setup an interface and the networking stack manually? Here is a good summary of the important steps.

Nice experiment in minimalism. It's nice to see we can still build tiny systems like that.

Nice chain of attacks. This shows more than one vulnerability needs to be leveraged to lead to root access. This provides valuable lessons.

The title says it all. This is very fragmented and there are several options to fulfill the task. Knowing the tradeoffs can be handy.

Yes, the governance of Open Source projects can be tricky. This is part of the job though, and properly embraced we all go further. An example from the Wayland space.

This one is definitely a bad one. Looks like CUPS is a weak part of the ecosystem, especially when coupled with zeroconf. I wouldn't be surprised to see macOS being affected too.

Despite the drama, Rust is slowly making its way into the kernel.

Wondering what io_uring is for? This is a good explanation.

Definitely good news if you have to maintain a real-time Linux system for industrial use. No more patches to carry over.
