If you use the ebook reader Calibre and don't like AI stuff on your device, be advised that the most recent update (at least on Arch Linux) is pulling in machine learning packages to power Calibre's AI features.

Found this out after trying to determine why my computer suddenly wanted to install ML stuff.

In unrelated news, I'm in the market for a new Linux ebook reader.

So, I have spent 30 days with a #Linux phone (#Ubuntu Touch): here are the apps I used, what I tweaked, what worked well, what was hacky, what didn't work at all, and why I'll be sticking with it.

Microsoft macht jetzt Linux. Und nein, das ist kein Ausweg.

Azure Linux 4.0 ist da: quelloffen, Fedora-basiert, sauber gehärtet und komplett von Microsoft kontrolliert. Ich habe es mir auf meinem Proxmox angeschaut. Ein Blick auf die Distribution, die aussieht wie Freiheit und funktioniert wie eine Leine. Reden wir drüber!

Hey, #Linux Bubble, ich habe hier eine Frage einer Lektorin, die gerne mit Linux arbeiten möchte, aber ein konkretes Arbeits-Tool-Problem hat. Sie braucht etwas, um präzise Textkorrekturen in PDFs vorzunehmen (wie im Acrobat: Buchstaben durchstreichen, einfügen, ersetzen) sodass alle Änderungen in einer Kommentarspalte aufgeführt werden. Habt ihr Vorschläge? Gerne RT. Danke!!! #Schreiben #Lektorat #Überarbeiten

Windows ist nicht dein Schicksal. Linux ist der Ausweg.

Windows 10 ist tot, Windows 11 sortiert funktionsfähige Rechner aus, und Microsoft drückt Nutzer*innen immer tiefer in Konto-Zwang, Telemetrie und KI-Funktionen. Zeit, Linux nicht mehr als Nerd-Spielzeug zu behandeln, sondern als das, was es ist: der saubere Ausweg. Reden wir drüber!

I am wary of forums for #Linux / #FOSS (mostly because of obnoxious fossbros berating noobs for fun), so I ask here. I am using Eye of Gnome (47.0) under #Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS. Until a couple of weeks ago, while scrolling through images in a directory using the left and right arrow keys, I was able to simply hit the "delete" key to delete images I don't need. Now I get the error message "Error on deleting image filename.jpg Couldn't access trash." How can I fix this?

Hey uhh #wine #linux #midi

(hopefully that combination helps the rotten grape fans to move on quickly, I need leet Linux nerds who know about wine and midi passthrough)

I have a pedal with a win/mac software controller, which uses midi to communicate with the pedal. I would like to attempt to run this under wine; is passing through midi a difficult thing with wine?

I don't even need the timing to be particularly good, as all the software is doing (for me, anyways) is managing presets, so I can have the correct PC sent for various songs.

If you’re a #Linux admin just entering holiday mode, you’ll be excited to find out there’s a new local privilege escalation Linux kernel exploit, no workarounds ☺️

https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-46242

New job and new place means new #introduction post!

Hi, I'm Doro!
I'm a #Physics PostDoc at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics near #Munich, Germany! I play with ultracold atoms in lattices of laser light to simulate other quantum systems!
I'm also a fan of open source software (#FOSS), #Linux, and I code in #python for work and for fun!
I love SciFi in all forms, especially #StarTrek and #DoctorWho.
No tolerance for discrimination of any kind.

Whereas DirtyClone exploits a kernel module (which can be tackled by unloading and blocking it), Bad Epoll (CVE-2026-46242) does not.

Oh great, new kernels, "all users must upgrade", except that their CDN is still completely broken and you can't fetch sources to upgrade to. Love the idea of responsible disclosure.

Oh, and #Gentoo has already patched the previous versions, so no risk to our users.

#Linux

A newly disclosed Linux kernel vulnerability called Bad Epoll lets an unprivileged local user gain root access on affected Linux systems and Android devices.

The flaw is notable because it exists in the same kernel code where Anthropic's AI model Mythos previously found a different vulnerability, but missed this one. A patch is available, and affected systems should be updated.
