Linux Matters 62: Mirrors, Motors and Makefiles
Alan prepares for the inevitable by mirroring GitHub to Forgejo], Martin sidesteps complexity with Just, and Mark gives his first thoughts on the VW ID.3.
Xfce running on Wayland on openSUSE, Canonical laid off the printing guy, Mozilla pisses people off with AI tab groups, and what the post-x86 world will look like for desktop Linux. Plus a handy way to save and run project-specific commands, turning any device into a file server, and a convoluted way to get wind data from planes. With guest hosts Gary from Linux After Dark and Hybrid Cloud Show, and Kevin from Linux Dev Time.
It’s our annual episode where we need to talk about Ubuntu. This time most of us are broadly indifferent about the distro itself, so we end up mostly discussing our concerns about Canonical.
2.5 Admins 260: Watery Email
AMD’s recent mobile-class processors impress us with their power to performance ratio, the UK government suggests a preposterous way to save water, setting up verified boot with snapshots, and the best way to configure ZFS to run VMs.
New episode is out!

The lads chat with Félim from Late Night Linux. They discuss Amolith's new headphones and Shane's future internet, then Shane gives update on his game. Mike is happy on immutable Bluefin, and Conor has a new laptop with CachyOS. Then they interrogate Félim and end up talking about LLMs and kids and technology.
A new Debian version is out and it’s the end of the 32-bit x86 era, an AWS user almost found out the hard way about the need for proper backups, GitHub is finally fully swallowed into Microsoft (having gone all in on AI), and a quick KDE Korner. With guest hosts @garythewilliams from Linux After Dark and Hybrid Cloud Show, and @kbknapp from Linux Dev Time.
Not invented here syndrome is very common in open source. We get into why that is, when it makes sense to start your own project from scratch, and how contributing to existing software can sometimes be better for everyone.
Shane gives us an update on his janky Kubernetes homelab. The storage is under control with ZFS, he’s got a decent switch, and everything is in Git – so maybe it isn’t that janky anymore.
