Our work advances with MidoriVPN, a private and secure system that uses #wireguard Multiple instances and mesh technology. Soon to be integrated into #midoribrowser.
I'm excited to go eat some lobster rolls... err, I mean that I am excited to announce that I will speaking at DevConf.US, August 14th - 16th, in Boston, USA 🦞
I will also be staffing an Ubuntu community booth as well alongside my fellow yinzer @AKernelPanic. If you're in the Boston-area and interested with helping with the booth, or picking up some limited-edition Noble Numbat swag, check the link below! Hope to see you there! 👇
Meiner Meinung nach wird in der Open-Source Szene die IT-Sicherheit nicht versprochen, sondern meistens rasch umgesetzt und frei verteilt. Auch wenn das hier nun anders ist.

Die IT-Sicherheitsbehörde CISA warnt vor aktiven Angriffen auf eine Linux-Lücke. Angreifer verschaffen sich damit root-Rechte.«
Looking for recommendations on beginner-friendly #Linux distributions.
I don't need any novice help, this is for a friend who wants to move away from Windows.
They need the usual productivity software, web browser, mail, Word, Excel, etc. which will probably be easy to replace. I advised them to start working with #LibreOffice now, to see if they feel comfortable with it. They also need some more exotic software, but I'm confident it will work fine with Wine. We'll test that out soon.
They're also very privacy-sensitive, so I'm currently discounting #Ubuntu.
@ehrba My answer not as a #GIS professional but enthusiast and long time #Linux user: Any distro you feel comfortable with. If you're expecting the latest releases, try some rolling release. Otherwise, my usual suggestion, #Ubuntu, has been misbehaving a little with #snap (#chrome sometimes not being able to launch or access user's files because of a technical issue), so probably not that. I'm a #Debian user, so my personal suggestion is Debian stable or testing.
@bananabob@mdione@ehrba I was just thinking about that, actually, but I like that LM gives you access to almost anything already refined for #Ubuntu, but there's also reason I'm not using Ubuntu, and it's not the desktop design. What I think I will actually do is, once I get more comfortable, move to #Debian + gnome, but I need to learn the system way better before I can handle that! I can't even understand the instructions manuals for Debian yet!
So I've just been doing some tidying in the garage and I found this old #Compaq#Netbook. I've put it on charge, but do we think it will boot, and what OS do we think it's running?
