  • LinuxFest Northwest 2018 — LinuxFest Northwest, an annual Open Source event co-produced by Bellingham Linux Users Group and the Information Technology department at BTC. LFNW features presentations and exhibits on free and open source topics, as well as Linux distributions & applications, InfoSec, and privacy; something for everyone from the novice to the professional!
  • Disappearing files ZFS On Linux Bug — Data loss when copying a directory with large-ish number of files. For example, cp -r SRC DST with 10000 files in SRC is likely to result in a couple of "cp: cannot create regular file `DST/XXX': No space left on device" error messages, and a few thousand files missing from the listing of the DST directory.
  • The offending commit — Trying to solve an issue for case insensitive filesystems They limited the attempts to expand the ZAP to 2, which is not enough.
  • Valve's Pipe Has Something Linux in it... — We also have other Linux initiatives in the pipe that we're not quite ready to talk about yet
  • NVIDIA will end 32-bit OS GeForce support this month — It will halt GeForce GPU driver support at the end of April, meaning users will lose access to new GeForce Experience features and game ready updates. Moreover, NVIDIA will end security updates by January 2019, so continuing to use your 32-bit OS with a GeForce card beyond that date could actually put it at risk.
  • The New HandBrake is Great! — The HandBrake Team is pleased to present HandBrake 1.1.0. This major release includes new features, as well as bug fixes and improvements for issues affecting previous HandBrake releases.
  • Plasma-Vault — Plasma applet and services for creating encrypted vaults
  • Offline Vaults for an extra layer of protection
  • Latte-Dock — Latte is a dock based on plasma frameworks that provides an elegant and intuitive experience for your tasks and plasmoids
  • Falkon — Cross-platform Qt Web Browser

  • Valve has removed the Steam Machine section from Steam — In a move that's not exactly surprising, Valve has quietly removed the Steam Machine section from Steam.
  • Apple Is Looking For Linux Kernel Developers — For reasons unknown, Apple is looking to hire Linux kernel developers in both Texas and California.
  • Canonical's Snappy Now Supports Latest Nvidia Drivers on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS — Snapd 2.32.2 is now available to download and should be coming soon to the stable software repositories of your favorite, Snappy-enabled GNU/Linux distribution. What's exciting about this release is that it enables Snappy the use Nvidia's most recent proprietary graphics drivers in Snap apps on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and similar operating systems.
  • lsof to graphviz — A small utility to convert Unix lsof output to a graph showing FIFO and UNIX interprocess communication.
  • Old CPUs losing support in Linux, cutting size by 500,000 lines of code — The architectures which will become deprecated are Blackfin, CRIS, FRV, M32R, Metag, MN10300, Score and Tile. Although not being deprecated, the Unicore32 and Hexagon architectures are also at risk but their maintainers are working on improving the situation so their support can be continued.
  • Juno Progress for March – elementary OS — You get more features, and you get more features, and you get more features!
  • GnuCash 3.0 Released — GTK3!
  • Qubes OS 4.0 has been released! — Version 4.0 includes several fundamental improvements to the security and functionality of Qubes OS
  • oragono — Oragono is a modern, experimental IRC server written in Go. It's designed to be simple to setup and use, and it includes features such as UTF-8 nicks / channel names, client accounts with SASL, and other assorted IRCv3 support.
  • A Radical Proposal to keep your personal data safe | Richard Stallman — The surveillance imposed on us today far exceeds that of the Soviet Union. For freedom and democracy’s sake, we need to eliminate most of it. There are so many ways to use data to hurt people that the only safe database is the one that was never collected. Thus, instead of the EU’s approach of mainly regulating how personal data may be used (in its General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR), I propose a law to stop systems from collecting personal data.
