  • News from this year:

    • virtualbox-ext-vnc >= 7.2.12-2 requires manual intervention (package won’t install)
    • Active AUR malicious packages incident (the AUR is locked)
    • Arch Linux 2026 Leader Election Results
    • Breaking changes for all users of varnish, which is renamed to vinyl-cache (it’s a proxy, only affects servers)
    • kea >= 1:3.0.3-6 update requires manual intervention (dhcp server, affects routers)
    • iptables now defaults to the nft backend (affects pretty much nothing)

    Repost.

    Also, my Mint install broke, uh, shit I don’t remember, 5 times? Arch broke zero times. Zero times not my own fault for forgetting I was installing something and shutting off the computer, of course. Except for the times I tried the fucking installer python script, but since I never even booted the install it doesn’t count.



  • Yeah, he did his thing once and he is remembered for that but nobody really cares about most of his opinions anymore.

    If we were to believe this piece of the OpenBSD lyrics explanation page isn’t satire:

    In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane. After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very close by, so we have an accurate story of the events.
