Tip: you can reduce the heat your laptop/desktop computer generates by limiting its CPU frequency.

To restrict all cores to 800MHz on Linux, run one of these two commands as root:

cpupower frequency-set -u 800MHz

echo 800000 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

PLEASE force companies to release flatpak packages alongside their windows and macos packages!

secureblue is the only OS on the desktop when my data really belongs to only me.

Please force them to support Linux via flatpak.

For anyone interested in #Linux security, a good explanation of a way to escape from the #Flatpak sandbox has been posted to the oss-security mailing list today: openwall.com/lists/oss-securit…

Upgrades to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS finally go live for those running 25.10 (users on 24.04 get to upgrade from August).

France ditched Windows for Linux across all government machines. The Gendarmerie alone is saving millions and their systems are more secure.

If governments are doing this, maybe there's something to it.

#Linux kernel exploit mitigation:

rm -rf /boot /lib/modules && reboot

Will mitigate all exploits, not just #DirtyFrag 🧐☝️

It's becoming less and less tolerable for the security of other operating systems to be so far behind those of smartphones.

→ Traditional Linux must catch up to Android Linux. All applications must be properly sandboxed.

The recent #Linux page cache write vulnerabilities only bypass one security layer, the traditional file permissions, right? So, any system they can be exploited on lacks defence in depth.

→ More userspace processes should run with NO_NEW_PRIVS.

#Linux support? Where is the actual link to the source code repository?

That being said, age verification is a terrible idea and I'm saying that as a parent of kids in the age bracket that you are so worried about! Regulate the huge social media corporations properly instead of acting like they're only problematic for minors.

I fear you'll just end up killing Linux on the desktop or smaller online forums or similar.
