Pretty cool to be able to #test 15 different #linux #distributions for the #pinephone on one #sd #card ! https://xnux.eu/p-boot-demo/ Hopefully this #demo #image is #automated and kept #updated !
Interesting, #mips are making better #progress in the #riscv space: https://www.mips.com/ Maybe they could have a comeback, maybe not. We'll have to keep an eye on it. The most important thing will be getting #linux #support and getting some #dev #boards out there. MIPS used to be massive in the #router space.
Any incredibly #complex and #intricate #stack -based #integer #overflow #exploit for the #linux #kernel https://lwn.net/ml/oss-security/1b176761.. These people are nothing short of #genius - I honestly would not know where to begin with this.
Hmm, seems like the #librem 5 #linux #smartphone finally arrived after 4 years running #pureos , and it's #halfbaked https://incoherency.co.uk/blog/stories/l.. I would go further and say that it doesn't really #compare to #pine 's #pinephone or #pinephonepro offerings.
Ouch, an extremely #serious #linux #zeroday #backdoor in #modern #kernels called #dirtypipe https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/se.. Don't worry, a #patch is incoming: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ker..
Very cool #conversion from the #linux #desktop to a #windows 98 #clone https://lunduke.substack.com/p/make-linu..

#microsoft gets shittier by the day. Once you #purchase your #license for Microsoft #windows (which you cannot opt out of if you run #linux ), you then go out and #buy Microsoft #office . Then, at your cost, you get shown #ads in your #start #menu #panel and #outlook #email https://twitter.com/louisnicholls_/statu..

Okay, I want one: https://shop.simulavr.com/ #simulavr is an #ar / #vr #headset for using #linux on the go: https://shop.simulavr.com/ I have wanted such a thing for a long time! Hopefully it doesn't cause eye/head strain! It's a little too expensive for now, but looking forward to #cheaper #alternatives !
Nice #discussion over on #tuxphones about how #linux #desktop #environments are concentrating on #convergence https://tuxphones.com/convergent-linux-p..

#pine 's #pindio #stack as written about by #jf is pretty exciting! https://codingfield.com/blog/2021-12/fir.. Great to hear that it could make the basis for a new #pinetime ! It could even be possible it runs some for of *very small* #linux / #unix #kernel ! It has #lora , #gps , #wifi , #bluetooth , #memory , #heartrate #sensor , #compass , #usb - this little thing is simple insanely well equipped!
A #minimal #viable #linux #terminal that #theoretically could cost as low as $15 #dollars https://hackaday.com/2022/02/04/the-fift.. Honestly I think it might be better off without the #keyboard , maybe #replace it with a #numpad T9 #layout and have a #touchscreen instead. The #idea certainly has legs though!
Interesting #update from #linmob https://linmob.net/weekly-update-4-2022/ More people discussing the $15 #linux #device https://bbenchoff.github.io/pages/LinuxD.. #danct #released a new #arm #kernel that works nicely: https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pi.. I got my #pinetab #wifi #driver fixed again and #updated it. Some nice #updates all around!
Damn, a massive #vulnerability in #pkexec in #linux allowing #privilege #escalation from #user to #root ! https://hackaday.com/2022/01/26/major-bu.. Well damn!
Very interesting #insight from #drewdevault on how #pine should be spending their #time and #money - and what their #responsibilities are: https://drewdevault.com/2022/01/18/Pine6.. He also interestingly makes the claim that #manjaro #linux are known to be #corrupt and spend money questionably... A very strong claim! I can't find anything #online to back that claim either.
