Have fun! ^^

🚨 PSA! 🚨

Alpine 3.23 moved mariadb-connector-c from the 3.3 release series to the 3.4 release series, which has different TLS validation behavior.

If you are using self-signed certificates, you need to either trust the self-signed CA or set the MARIADB_TLS_DISABLE_PEER_VERIFICATION=1 environment variable.

Stephen Rothwell is "stepping down as -Next maintainer on Jan 16, 2026. Mark Brown [@broonie] has generously volunteered to take up the challenge.":

To quote: ""It seems a long time since I read Andrew Morton's "I have a dream" email and decided that I could help out there - little did I know what I was heading for.""

Many many thx Stephen for all your really hard work on this over all those years, it helped a tremendous lot!

Something that hasn't been made clear: Firefox will have an option to completely disable all AI features.

We've been calling it the AI kill switch internally. I'm sure it'll ship with a less murderous name, but that's how seriously and absolutely we're taking this.

support for texture compression landed in which means a significant performance boost in the next release!

A lot of people were involved to get this working and it required work on the kernel and Userspace side.

It should allow to close the gap to Nvidia, but the variance is impressive.

Some games barely see any difference, but others see a 2x perf improvement. But it should on average cut the gap by 25% or so.

I don't want AI in my browser, I just want the icon in the address bar to come back. I liked that.

Mozilla has a new CEO who:

- Has been at Mozilla for less than a year
- Has no prior open source experience (but well in "fintech" and "real estate")
- Has a MBA (aka "brainworm diploma")
- Is all-in on AI

That’s exactly the kind of bingo profile the whole community has been waiting for.

The effect of putting the wiki behind 😞

I really hope whatever entities are doing this will run out of money soon...

I can only hope that this is the final straw that leads to some viable alternative browser community being available.
