Successfully migrated a #Linux server running in a data centre from CentOS 7 via AlmaLinux 8.10 to AlmaLinux 9.8 using those ELevate tools (see link below).

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)

-->

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
AlmaLinux release 8.10 (Cerulean Leopard)

-->

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
AlmaLinux release 9.8 (Olive Jaguar)

Nice one 💪 !

Mint a "hostile downstream" for refusing to work with them

Linux Mint ships an outdated GNOME Calendar but directs users to the upstream, leading to confusing bug reports.

Mint refused to rebrand or remove upstream links and closed the ticket, showing uncooperative downstream behavior.

Upstream devs face a lose-lose: being polite stalls fixes, being harsh gets ignored, and defending work can villainize them.

Today I talked about GNU Guix at MashhadLUG, our local Linux User Group. I’ve published the presentation files on GitHub. (Sadly, GitLab is unavailable for my country due to sanctions, and Codeberg is blocked by the Iranian government, otherwise I would have preferred to host them there.)

I’m a big fan of Emacs and Org mode. This presentation was written in Org and delivered using org-tree-slide. It was a really enjoyable experience :)

📡🌐 NetworkManager 1.58 a fost lansat: Suport extins pentru Wi-Fi 6 GHz, integrare CLAT și protocoale GENEVENetworkManager, daemonul standard folosit de majoritatea distribuțiilor Linux pentru gestionarea conexiunilor de rețea, a primit o nouă actualizare majoră: NetworkManager 1.58. Această versiune aduce îmbunătățiri substanțiale atât pentru utilizatorii de desktop-uri moderne, cât și pentru administratorii de sistem care gestionează infrastructuri complexe de rețea.Iată cele mai importante noutăți și caracteristici introduse în NetworkManager 1.58:🔹 Suport nativ optimizat pentru banda Wi-Fi de 6 GHzOdată cu adopția pe scară largă a standardelor Wi-Fi 6E și Wi-Fi 7, gestionarea frecvenței de 6 GHz a devenit esențială.NetworkManager 1.58 rafinează scanarea și conectarea la rețelele de 6 GHz, asigurând o tranziție mult mai lină între benzile de 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz și 6 GHz (band steering).S-a îmbunătățit stabilitatea conexiunilor pe chipset-urile wireless de ultimă generație, eliminând deconectările aleatorii la comutarea punctelor de acces (AP-uri).🔹 Suport nativ pentru CLAT (Customer-side Translator)Tranziția globală către IPv6 continuă, iar tehnologia 464XLAT joacă un rol crucial în furnizarea accesului la servicii vechi IPv4 peste infrastructuri pur IPv6.NetworkManager adaugă suport direct pentru CLAT, permițând dispozitivelor Linux să traducă transparent traficul IPv4 local într-un format IPv6 înainte de a trimite pachetele prin rețeaua furnizorului de internet (ISP).Această funcționalitate este extrem de utilă pentru rețelele mobile (LTE/5G) sau ISP-urile care folosesc conexiuni IPv6-only.🔹 Integrarea protocolului GENEVE (Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation)Pentru mediile de virtualizare, centrele de date și infrastructurile cloud (cum ar fi OpenStack sau Kubernetes):NetworkManager 1.58 adaugă suport nativ pentru crearea și gestionarea interfețelor GENEVE.Protocolul GENEVE este un standard de încapsulare flexibil, conceput să înlocuiască protocoale mai vechi precum VXLAN sau NVGRE, oferind performanțe superioare în rețelele virtualizate create software (Software-Defined Networking - SDN).🔹 Alte optimizări și îmbunătățiriGestionare mai bună a fișierelor de configurare: Instrumentul de linie de comandă nmcli primește opțiuni noi de filtrare și raportare a erorilor de rețea.Performanță VPN: S-a optimizat modul în care sunt gestionate rutele de rețea la activarea și dezactivarea rapidă a conexiunilor VPN (precum WireGuard sau OpenVPN).Această lansare consolidează NetworkManager ca o soluție completă, capabilă să gestioneze atât conexiunile wireless rapide de zi cu zi, cât și tehnologiile avansate de rețea enterprise.#OpenSource #NetworkManager #NetworkManager158 #WiFi6GHz #IPv6 #Networking #Linux #SysAdmin #TechNews #Linuxiac

🚀 IPFire 2.29 Core Update 203 aduce o schimbare majoră pe partea de DNS!

Distribuția firewall open-source IPFire renunță la vechiul resolver Unbound și trece la Knot Resolver, oferind mai multă flexibilitate, performanță și securitate avansată.

✨ Ce este nou în această versiune:
🔒 Redirecționare DNS-over-TLS (DoT) pentru interogări criptate
🛡️ DNS Firewall nou: blocare de malware, reclame și categorii de domenii la nivel de rețea
🔍 Forțare SafeSearch pe marile motoare de căutare și YouTube
⚡ Cache persistent care rezistă la reporniri și este partajat eficient între nucleele CPU
📶 Suport Wi-Fi 6E / Wi-Fi 7 (banda de 6 GHz) pentru modul Access Point
☁️ Suport IMDSv2 pentru instanțele din Amazon Web Services (AWS)
📦 Actualizări de securitate și pachete majore: Suricata, OpenVPN, BIND, microcod Intel și multe altele.

⚠️ Notă de compatibilitate: Zonele redirecționate (Forwarded zones) nu mai acceptă nume de domenii (FQDN), ci necesită adrese IP directe.

Hello People.

This is my first fediverse post, featuring my first #assembly64 program in #linux. I am a #student who is just getting into #cybersecurity and love contributing to #infosec, #lowlevel stuffs and #linuxkernel.

I love to program in #c, and use #archlinux btw. Looking for people to connect. I installed LinkedIn a few days ago for connecting with people and figured out that it was a #scam in jobmarket, just data feed into companies. (No offense, just in my opinion).

I was suggested to start learning #assembly64 by a random reddit user when I asked some questions about #c programming and how to get better at it. Currently learning #syscalls in linux, and I guess assembly programming alongside with c programming is helpful - I can understand syscalls and registers (for some extent).

Looking forward for friends to connect. Follow me and I will follow you back - provided that we have same or similar interests. I am also interested in #russian arts, languages and techs - I am not a Russian btw.

I need suggestions \ #help on how to get started in fediverse, cybersecurity and low level stuffs. You can see my profile for more information.

🔒 Cybersecurity Monday
One of the simplest ways to improve your security is to keep your software up to date.
Updates don't just add new features—they fix vulnerabilities that attackers actively look for.
✔️ Install security updates promptly. ✔️ Update your operating system and applications. ✔️ Don't forget your router and other network devices.
A few minutes today can prevent hours of recovery tomorrow.

A clean cybersecurity awareness infographic on a white background titled "Cybersecurity Monday – Patch Today, Protect Tomorrow." A laptop displaying "Update Complete" sits at the center, connected to a smartphone, server, router, and tablet, each showing update icons to emphasize keeping all devices current. A large green shield symbolizes security, with a faint map of Canada in the background. A checklist reminds users to update their operating system, applications, browser, router, remove unused software, and back up important data. A comparison at the bottom illustrates that unpatched vulnerabilities can be exploited, while updated systems are protected. The official Linux Association of Canada logo appears in the bottom-right corner.

Windows 10のサポートが切れて、まだ使えるパソコンをどうしようかと悩んでいませんか。

40年近く教壇に立ち、年金暮らしの今も愛用のノートPCを手放せずにいる僕が試したのは、USBメモリ1本だけで作る「設定もファイルも保存できる」持ち運びLinux環境でした。
