Telegram in Fedora
Recently, there has been a new wave of instant messaging services focused on the mobile world. Examples include Whatsapp, Messenger, Hangouts, and Viber. However, these are all closed and don’t have the best record of security and privacy. A new service with a different approach is Telegram. It’s developed and run by a non-profit organization, has an open API and protocol, provides open source clients, and stresses privacy.

Linux 5.11-rc5
So this rc looked fairly calm and small, all the way up until today. In fact, over 40% of the non-merge commits came in today, as people unloaded their work for the week on me. The end result is a slightly larger than usual rc5 (but both 5.10 and 5.8 were bigger, so not some kind of odd outlier). Nothing particularly stands out. We had a couple of splice() regressions that came in during the previous release as part of the "get rid of set_fs()" development, but they were for odd cases that most people would never notice. I think it's just that 5.10 is now getting more widely deployed so people see the fallout from that rather fundamental change in the last release. And the only reason I even reacted to those is just because I ended up being involved with some of the tty patches during the early calm period of the past week. There's a few more still pending. But the bulk of it all is all the usual miscellaneous fixes all over the place, and a lot of it is truly trivial one- or few-liners. Just under half the patch is for drivers, with the rest being the usual mix of tooling, arch updates, filesystem and core (mm, scheduling, networking). Nothing here makes me go "Uhhuh" in other words. Linus ![]() | today's howtos
