Because of the #copyfail cve, I booted up my MacBook Air running Linux Mint to get the patches.
I took the chance to upgrade from Mint 21.3 to 22.3 too. I absolutely love how Mint has given so much extra life to the 2012 MBA.
On my Pi though, DietPi is not patched yet, but I think it's waiting for Raspberry Pi's kernel or something. I don't really understand how or which party patches what!
https://cert.europa.eu/publications/security-advisories/2026-005/
Dietpi hasn't released the patched kernel yet Debian 1:6.12.85. It's still stuck on the vulnerable 1:6.12.75 version. :(

So I wrote a small blog post about my #pinebook pro setup. If you think about buying one it might be worth to read it. Its a bit of an rant but yeah. It took me quite some time to have it up and running.
Actually whole blog post was written and uploaded from it so it really seems fo work good enough.
Some nice updates to #dietpi and #prometheus support! I always wanted to try that out...

DietPi 10.3 has been released, bringing Orange Pi RK3399 LTS support, Prometheus montoring integration, USB auto-mount, Amiberry-Lite autostart, Odroid updates, QuiteRSS removal, improved drive manager handling, and more.
أصدرت DietPi التحديث الجديد 10.3 لنظام تشغيلها الخفيف، حيث قدمت دعماً للوحة Orange Pi ومجموعة أدوات Prometheus للمراقبة. يتضمن الإصدار ميزة التركيب التلقائي لوحدات تخزين USB وتحسينات في إدارة الأقراص للحفاظ على الإعدادات المخصصة. كما انتقل النظام إلى استخدام uv لتسريع إعداد بيئة Home Assistant، مع إضافة خيارات تشغيل تلقائي جديدة وتحسينات لأجهزة Odroid، مما يعزز تجربة المستخدم في إدارة الموارد والأجهزة الصغيرة بكفاءة عالية واستقرار أكبر.
Just bumped up a #homeassistant core install on a #raspberrypi 3B running #dietpi from 2025.10 to 2026.4, including python 3.13 -> 3.14 and the related dietpi updates and ...that's it.
Thank you guys for my time. 👏👌
