If you are a journalist, blogger, YouTuber, or someone you know who is and you are interested in writing an article about the next #kde Plasma 6 release, let me know. We finished working on the release announcement with all the juicy information, and I'll happily share a secret link with you and answer any of your questions.

The dm-vdo target hit #Linux-next and thus is slated for inclusion in #LinuxKernel 6.9:

"'"The dm-vdo target provides inline deduplication, compression, zero-block elimination, and thin provisioning. A dm-vdo target can be backed by up to 256TB of storage, and can present a logical size of up to 4PB. This target was originally developed at Permabit Technology Corp. starting in 2009. […] "'"

The three million toothbrush botnet story isn’t true.

Here’s the original source of the story: https://archive.is/2024.01.30-203406/https://www.luzernerzeitung.ch/wirtschaft/kriminalitaet-die-zahnbuersten-greifen-an-das-sind-die-aktuellen-cybergefahren-und-so-koennen-sie-sich-schuetzen-ld.2569480

It’s simply a made up example. It doesn’t exist. It starts talking about NoName Ddosia, too, which also isn’t toothbrushes.

My 1st FOSDEM talk is now online, too. An exciting hour of me rambling about our TPM future, with a focus on what's in store for distributions:

I reposted @bluca's FOSDEM talk about soft reboot earlier already. Unfortunately Mastodon doesn't allow reposting with a comment, so let's post the video a 2nd time here so that I can comment on it: I think this talk is particularly interesting as it shows a soft-reboot based online OS update on the actual Azure fleet. And that's not just technically exciting I think, but also a first: that you can actually look over Microsoft's shoulder how they make Azure work. Enjoy!

I wrote about security policies in an attempt to get some general ideas together with the hope to help other FOSS projects adopt a security policy:

So long #fosdem! To the next year.

Watch https://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/download/tables/fosdem/ to see which talks got videos already. And slides.

And if you have hints and/or corrections to https://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/2019/10/15/how-to-survive-fosdem/ post (other than lack of quiet room in H) then please feel free to comment. Many people found it useful and helped them to experience event more.

STUDY: Cars are rewiring our brains to ignore all the bad stuff about driving. “A new study reveals how unconscious bias leads us to neglect negative externalities of driving. You may call it ‘car brain,’ but this research team calls it motonormativity.” https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/31/23579510/car-brain-motornormativity-study-ian-walker

What could go wrong??
Most Top News Sites Block AI Bots. Right-Wing Media Welcomes Them
Nearly 90 percent of top news outlets like The New York Times now block AI data collection bots from OpenAI and others. Leading right-wing outlets like NewsMax and Breitbart mostly permit them.

Hurray! The xdg-toplevel-drag Wayland protocol was just merged - for some applications, this is a massive improvement and makes these apps properly usable on Wayland.
Thanks to everyone who made this happen!
