As Fate & Linux Would Have It
The fact that I used Linux and contacted an organization for German and American Linux users was in itself…well, I’ll let you assign any adjectives that you see fit. Now let’s tie in to the only person in Germany I solicited to help me find my baby girl.

Hypervisors are sooo 2005. For hip containers, you need a 'Microvisor'
“Photon Machine” is the name for a new, stripped-back version of ESX that's being cast as a “microvisor”. The Machine is designed to host virtual machines running Photon OS, the stripped-back version of GNU/Linux that VMware announced in April.

Comparing DPMS on X11 and Wayland
On the Plasma workspaces Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) is handled by the power management daemon (powerdevil). After a configurable idle time it signals the X-Server through the X11 DPMS Extension. The X-Server handles the timeout, switching to a different DPMS level and restoring to enabled after an input event all by itself.

My monthly report covers a large part of what I have been doing in the free software world.

If you happen to know a browser developer...
Do you happen to know a developer of Firefox or Chrome or some other mainstream browser?
If so, can you please talk to them about our experiments with Client Certificate authentication in Debian?
Client Certificate authentication rocks; with just a couple of little tweaks in the interface, it would be pretty close to perfect.

Cinnamon was the first project to receive attention. Its power applet now shows vendor and model information, box pointers look better, and multi-monitor support was further improved: When switching workspaces, the workspace name now appears on all relevant monitors, output names (i.e. plug names) are shown alongside monitor names (in the screenshot below that allows us to distinguish two identical Dell monitors via the name of their display port).
