  • The fixes for Meltdown and Spectre are drastically slowing the kernel down. The patches are meant to be deployed in the 4.20 release, but according to Linus the patches might not be completely enabled by default. But hey, it’s the 4.20 release so, let’s chill.
  • Ubuntu 18.04 is going to get 10 year support, and why not since RHEL already have it - or is it IBM/Red Hat now? If you wanna know what a 10 year old Ubuntu release feels like, try Hardy Heron.
  • If you want to give back to the open source community, check out 10 ways to give thanks to open source and free software maintainers. The list fails to mention mapping though.
  • Intel based single board computer Hardkernel Odroid-H2 sold out within 24 hours. It’s like a Raspberry Pi on ~~steroids~~ Celeron.
  • Some Amazon EC2 servers are running on Arm
  • You can now control your dildo from Emacs. Does it make it an RMS-approved GNU/dildo? There is a presentation video (not that kind of a video!). It’s, well, eye opening. Serious Mycroft opportunity here.
  • Plasma Mobile might soon be available on a Necuno mobile device. If this, the Gnome-based Pure OS running Librem 5 and the Pine64 all come through, 2019 is going to be full of open mobile awesomeness. The Necuno is probably going to be using the older i.MX 6 board versus the Librem’s i.MX 8.
