#Linux 6.9-rc1 is out: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wgO[email protected]/

"'"This merge window looks to be fairly normal. […]

In contrast, what _is_ meaningful is a couple of very core updates. The timer subsystem had a fairly big rewrite [1][…] The other fairly notable core update is to the workqueue subsystem [2][…]

The core updates should be entirely invisible to users, […]

Please commence testing,

#privacy #security

Many times we have been recommended to use a #password manager but I personally have not heard on tips to #backup my password #database. Any #tips?

Also do you store your #2fa #totp secrets in a completely separate database from your password manager (ex. #bitwarden , #keepassxc, #1password )? If so, how do you remember it? How do you avoid circular dependency?

Please boost so I/we can benefit from multiple viewpoints. Thanks #fedi !!! :)
