Good news to break the mess of the past day: Work on federating #Forgejo is ongoing. We are now one step closer to federated stars: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/1680

Federation is a key to resilient networks. We are looking forward to it.

Uhh, now what kind of device could be running mobian there??? 😉

Is this @fairphone really a #FairPhone5 ?!

Linux Mint has released version 21.3. This updates the Cinnamon desktop to version 6.0; improves programs such as Warpinator and Hypnotix; adds experimental Wayland support; and more. 21.3 is still based off kernel 5.15 but there are Edge versions which chip with kernel 6.5 for those who need a newer kernel than 5.15. Linux Mint is a very user friendly distro and a great starting point if you are looking to switch from Windows or Mac to something more privacy and security focussed. Linux Mint currently ships with options for the Cinnamon desktop as well as Mate and XFCE.

The Linux Libre kernel has been updated to version 6.7. A whole bunch more blobs had to be removed to keep it fully libre. This continues to be one of the best kernels to use if privacy and security are your top concerns as it keeps closed source blobs to a miniumum that do God knows what.

Linux distro "Solus" has released version 4.5. Aside from various package updates there are other changes like an updated version of the Calamares installer that gives you extra file system choices such as BTRFS; offering the XFCE desktop as an option; dropping the Mate desktop; replacing PuleAudio with Pipewire; and more. Solus is an independent distro meaning that it isn't based on any other distro. You can download editions that ship with Budgie; Gnome; XFCE and Plasma. Solus is a curated rolling release which means that they won't have things that are bleeding edge but will be only a couple weeks behind usually. More up to date packages than a point release but less so than some other distros.


The project's main website can be found here:

Solus does have a Mastodon presence:

The PDP-6 mainframe turns 60 years old this year. The legendary Incompatible Timesharing System (ITS) from MIT was born on this chonky 36-bit beast. The architecture paved the way for the later PDP-10, to which ITS also moved, which helped built out the early ARPANET days.
