• Arch Linux takes a pounding as DDoS attack enters week two — For now, the Arch team is working to mitigate the attack's impact, which highlights a bootstrapping issue.

• DHH on X — "We're pulling AUR out of the Omarchy install hotpath. It's an incredible resource, but we actually only need a handful of packages for the initial setup, and we can just host those ourselves. AUR really needs a new mirror strategy to avoid this predicament."

• New NASA Black Hole Sonifications with a Remix — In some ways, this sonification is unlike any other done before because it revisits the actual sound waves discovered in data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. The popular misconception that there is no sound in space originates with the fact that most of space is essentially a vacuum, providing no medium for sound waves to propagate through. A galaxy cluster, on the other hand, has copious amounts of gas that envelop the hundreds or even thousands of galaxies within it, providing a medium for the sound waves to travel.

• IDMAPPED Mounts Aim For Linux 5.12 - Many New Use-Cases From Containers To Systemd-Homed — Idmapped mounts make it possible to easily share files between multiple users or multiple machines especially in complex scenarios. For example, idmapped mounts will be used in the implementation of portable home directories in systemd-homed.service(8) where they allow users to move their home directory to an external storage device and use it on multiple computers where they are assigned different uids and gids.
