    One thing about Tribblix on SPARC is that it tracks x86 pretty closely, but actual releases come at different times. What this means right now is that while Tribblix on x86 is effectively in freeze while I work through a bunch of breaking changes, many of those changes are now available on SPARC. While this may seem a bit odd, the reality is that not all the breaking changes apply to SPARC at all (I'm not planning to update perl or gcc there, even though I want to, because the updates won't even build properly), and even those that do are less appropriate (such as desktop updates like bumping the Xfce version). The one visible change that people might see is the python switch from 3.12 to 3.13.

    https://thesiliconreview.com/2026/06/cybersecurity-incident-oracle-peoplesoft-shinyhunters-breach It's a sensationalist article, which is not a bad thing in this case. Less sensationally, but critical (9.8/10): Vulnerability in the PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools... · CVE-2026-35273 · GitHub Advisory Database For the other three vulnerabilities, all moderate, that are mentioned in the article: Vulnerability in the PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools... · CVE-2026-21934 · GitHub Advisory Database Vulnerability in the PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM Shared... · CVE-2026-22019 · GitHub Advisory Database Vulnerability in the PeopleSoft Enterprise FIN... · CVE-2026-34299 · GitHub Advisory Database This week's breach is all over the news, I first found it at https://mastodon.opencloud.lu/@BrideOfLinux/116737809000928257 from @BrideOfLinux@mastodon.opencloud.lu Before Oracle responded: Is this true? I have not seen a report yet who is affected. : r/oracle

    (06/12) ⇒ New NTFS Linux Driver Being Improved For Windows Native Symbolic Links One of the exciting additions to the Linux 7.1 kernel is the introduction of the new NTFS file-system kernel driver. While in good shape already and proving advantageous over other NTFS open-source driver options, one of the initial limitations on it is around Windows native symbolic link handling but that is now in the process of being resolved. https://www.phoronix.com/news/NTFS-Windows-Symbolic-Links

    grahamperrin said: … experimenting with Mastodon addresses at the foot of the page! … More precisely, at the foot of the post. Compare with this morning's https://billboard.bsd.cafe/post/189, where the first two shares were below the opening post: the first share appears as a boost by Mastodon ID @announcements@bsd.cafe at https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano@billboard.bsd.cafe/116373336660957859 in the BSD Cafe Announcements area the second share, by @stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe, is not visible to me at https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/with_replies – I imagine that @stefano sees the share, as himself in Mastodon, as a mention.

    In fact, that runs for 'stephane-huc.net' emails, but not for 'huc.fr.eu.org'—same DNS config, same MX hosting. My friend and I strongly suspect that this is because the parent domain 'eu.org', has a very bad reputation, even if my “own” domain were clean.
