New video! I'm showing two (and a half) ways of getting the TL866 EPROM programmer to work in Linux.

One of the best things to witness is seeing someone forget about their Windows partition. :)
Every success story shows that Fedora, and Linux in general, is continuing to push the desktop in the right direction - not only as an alternative to the mainstream options, but to what the desktop should have been all along.

y'all ready for another #stream this Friday 7PM Central European Time?
more #IndieConsole stuff! this time w/ better hardware + software 👀
follow @watch to be notified when I go live, and catch up over on VODs over at @sideprojects_with_bram
I've managed to fire up a single board computer with better specs than our bootleg handheld! Will we be able to run our #GodotEngine UI and some games at a proper framerate? 👀

Hallo, #hatclan!
In der vor uns liegenden 36. Kalenderwoche werde ich wieder am Montag, Mittwoch und Freitag, jeweils um 19:30 MESZ (17:30 UTC), jweils für etwa drei Stunden, „Disco Elysium“ streamen.
EDIT: Disco Elysium wird immer unerträglicher. Deshalb gibts am Mittwoch und Freitag stattdessen „A Twisted Tale”.

Dear Masto-friends,
I'd like to start following people that aren't #linux enthusiasts, and don't talk about games all the time.
Any recommendations?
I miss when Websites where super personal. Neocities is awesome. I really recommend anyone to make your own Website!!!
Here is mine: https://peritia.space
Sth fun it is fully curlable for my #linux folk out there
On any page you can `curl`
Example: `curl https://peritia.space/links/`
If you have a website please send it to me :3
Would love to check it out
XeroLinux 
Hey y'all
I seriously need your help (again).
I’m facing some serious mental health challenges and will be moving abroad in October. Unfortunately, I can’t bring my current setup with me. I truly need your help to get new equipment there so I can keep working on XeroLinux.
Please boost this far and wide, as time is of the essence. Thank you so much !

Já está no repositório inicial da FSFLA/FSF a atualização 6.17.2 do GNU Linux-libre, porém, até ele ser replicado nos espelhos, precisamos aguardar.No espelho de pacotes deb https://daltux.net/freesh/ que criei este fim de semana também vai demorar a aparecer, pois ele também é sincronizado a partir dos demais, mas, pra quem quiser colocá-lo no /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freesh.sources, já funciona.
Não sabe do que se trata? Conheça GNU Linux-libre, o núcleo oficial do GNU, e seu repositório de pacotes deb prontos chamado Freesh.

I need a non-technical guide for installing and using #Linux in Spanish for my mother-in-law. Anyone know a good one?

Hallo, #hatclan!
In der vor uns liegenden 37. Kalenderwoche werde ich wieder am Montag, Mittwoch und Freitag, jeweils um 19:30 MESZ (17:30 UTC), jeweils für etwa drei Stunden, streamen.
Diese Woche steht weiterhin „A Twisted Tale” auf dem Plan.
Was danach kommt wird noch nicht verraten, denn ich weiß es selbst noch nicht. ;)

Literally me. 11 successful installations of Linux in my area so far, with zero complaints, and I will be doing a 12th soon.
This might be a longshot... but the fediverse might be the best place for me to post this and get the reply of fellow Linux friends.
One of my kid's buddies found an in-the-box Samsung SM-T113 "Tab." Doing searches, I see it may be possible to put something like PostMarketOS on it.
Anyone out there have experience in this?

Upgrade your systems now!
The xz package has been backdoored
https://archlinux.org/news/the-xz-package-has-been-backdoored/
I think a LOT of people are missing the fact that we got LUCKY with this malicious backdoor.
The backdoor was created by an Insider Threat - by a developer / maintainer of various linux packages. The backdoor was apparently pushed back on March 8th (I believe) and MADE IT PAST all QA checks.
Let me state that again. Any quality assurance, security checks, etc., failed to catch this.
This was so far upstream, it had already gotten into the major Linux distributions. It made it into Debian pre-release, Fedora rolling, OpenSUSE rolling, Kali rolling, etc.
This is an example of Supply Chain Security that CISOs love to talk and freak out about. This is an example of an Insider Threat that is the boogey man of corporate infosec.
A couple more weeks, and it would have been in many major distributions without any of us knowing about it.
The ONLY reason we know about it is because @AndresFreundTec got curious about login issues and some benchmarking checks that had nothing to do with security and ran the issue down and stumbled upon a nasty mess that was trying to remain hidden.
It was luck.
That's it. We got lucky this time.
So this begs the question. Did the malicious insider backdoor anything else? Are they working with anyone else who might have access to other upstream packages? If the QA checks failed to find this specific backdoor by this specific malicious actor, what other intentional backdoors have they missed?
And before anyone goes and blames Linux (as a platform or as a concept), if this had happened (if it HAS happened!!!) in Windows, Apple, iOS, etc.... we would not (or will not) know about it. It was only because all these systems are open source that Andres was able to go back and look through the code himself.
Massive props and kudos and all the thank yours to Andres, those who helped him, to all the Linux teams jumping on this to fix it, and to all the folks on high alert just before this Easter weekend.
I imagine (hope) that once this gets cleaned up, there will be many fruitful discussions around why this passed all checks and what can be changed to prevent it from happening again.
(I also hope they run down any and all packages this person had the signing key for....)
I'm installing Fedora on my PC now and I'm pleasantly surprised how modern and great the installation process is. And the USB drive live version can even recognize the AMD GPU and output 4K full resolution.
I use Linux every day at work but our IT is just too good so I haven't even gone thru any of these for over a decade! The most I've done is to install KDE plasma on work devices! 😅
Microsoft is killing Windows 10 and for many countries and users, updates will stop today. It is time to look for options.
@brucelawson has a suggestion for you. IMHO there are many Linux distributions to choose between and you will need to choose the one that works best for you.
I recently switched to Linux as my primary platform myself.
My plea, however, to the Linux community is to make it easy for people to switch to Linux, but also to make it easy to switch window managers, key chains and the like.
I switched to Ubuntu myself and I am finding certain things with Gnome were a pain. Thus I tried switching to KDE, but found that broke a lot of things. IMHO we should strive to make it easy for users to switch between window managers and desktops as well as applications, without breaking things. That requires the different players to work together to ensure that switching from one desktop to another, for example, does not need to mean loosing passwords.
Locking in is one of the things Big Tech is known for. Linux should not have that, IMHO.

For many people, the #Linux vs #Windows vs #Mac debate is a privilege — it assumes you can choose. But working with the Computer Upcycle Project, I've seen the real choice is often Linux vs no computer at all.
~95% of donated computers are "too old" for Windows 11 or macOS. Linux installs on them anyway, adding 10+ years of life to machines #Microsoft and #Apple called trash.
This isn't Linux vs Windows. It's Linux vs e-waste.
