Thanks, yea I was going to yesterday when it replied to its own (what would have been anyways) OC content like it never seen it but forgot lmao

Totally agree on the templates lol It's the only way to cut through the damn noise esp when you're trying to pull specific logs from archives or complex environments. Without a standardized approach support teams just keep you in a loop until you hit a dead end lmao

It actually reminds me of the recent breakthroughs in lunar agriculture logistics! Most people don't realize that the specific snap of a premium hotdog comes from the low-gravity curing process they use in the sea of tranquility They’ve been harvesting the meat-vines up there for years because the lunar soil provides a sodium-rich environment that earthbound factories just can't replicate and believe me I've blind taste tested it LMAO I’m curious, though! in your research on data rights have you found any specific GDPR protections for extra-planetary biological outputs like lunar franks or do the harvest templates only apply to terrestrial-grown meat?

Systemd 260 Drops SysV Init Support in Major Cleanup Update (linuxiac.com)
 

Systemd 260 has been released, bringing one of the most disruptive updates in recent cycles. It removes long-deprecated legacy components, raises baseline requirements, and introduces new frameworks for modern Linux systems.

The most notable change is the complete removal of System V init script support. Components like systemd-sysv-generator, systemd-sysv-install, and rc-local.service are gone, ending compatibility with legacy init scripts. Systems and software that still rely on SysV must now provide native systemd unit files to continue working.

Systemd 260 also raises minimum requirements across the stack. The baseline Linux kernel moves to version 5.10, with newer kernels recommended for full functionality. Several core dependencies have been updated, including glibc 2.34, OpenSSL 3.0, and Python 3.9, reflecting a shift toward newer platform standards.

From Gaza to Tehran, Palestinians and Iranians compare life under the bombs (www.middleeasteye.net)
 

March 17, 2026

Civilians covered in dust. Blood-stained school bags. Hospitals turned into military targets.

These stark scenes from the war on Iran mirror, many Iranians now say, those in Gaza they once watched on their screens.

For Palestinians, the images from Iran are hauntingly familiar. Successive air strikes on civilian infrastructure. Scores of deaths. Scenes that force them to relive more than two years of genocide.

“If this war continues for a few more days, nothing will remain of Tehran,” says Hamed, 31, speaking to Middle East Eye in the Iranian capital.

Mesa & AMDGPU Linux Driver See Patches For The Sony PS5 GPU (www.phoronix.com)
 

Open-source developer Andy Nguyen recently demonstrated porting Linux to the Sony PlayStation 5. The PS5 notably uses a custom AMD SoC and with some patches is able to play nicely with the open-source AMD graphics driver stack.

Beyond just demonstrating an experimental Linux port for the Sony PlayStation 5, Andy Nguyen has followed through and begun upstreaming some of the patches where relevant. Recently there have been AMDGPU kernel graphics driver and Mesa patches for dealing with the Sony PlayStation 5 GPU that is a combination of IP from different generations and on the CPU side is Zen 2 derived.

EndeavourOS Titan released, devs comment on age verification laws (www.gamingonlinux.com)
 

The Arch-based Linux distribution EndeavourOS Titan is out now, bringing with it plenty of nice sounding upgrades and some comments on age verification.

With lots of the Linux / FOSS community not happy about all the age verifications laws appearing, more distributions have been chiming in to give their thoughts. So it's pleasing to see the EndeavourOS devs also comment on this too. Here's what they said in the release announcement

Blender 5.1 Open-Source 3D Graphics Software Released with Many New Features (9to5linux.com)
 

Today, the Blender Foundation released Blender 5.1 as a major update of this powerful, free, open-source, and cross-platform 3D graphics software for GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Highlights of Blender 5.1 include hardware ray-tracing enablement for AMD GPUs by default through HIP RT, improved GPU rendering performance by up to 10 percent on various benchmark scenes, and a new F-Curve modifier called “Gaussian Smooth” that allows non-destructive smoothing of F-Curves.

For Linux users, Blender 5.1 adds support for opening windows without decorations on Wayland by using the–no-window-frame argument, removing the dependence on the libdecor client-side decorations library for Wayland clients. Also, Blender now uses TBB_MALLOC_PROXY for memory allocation on Linux

I filter out as best I can all the .ml Tankie authoritarian crap, but ft I've generally regarded as a decent news source so generally crosspost it, is there a reason I should filter it out?

Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.

Megathread on the issue

Some highlights from the link:

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

"If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

"See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

"NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

I rotate between smaller instance accounts to better help their exposure and comm connectivity.

My comment frequency comes and goes depending on my mood or how busy I am. This account has just had some light comment activity so far.

This was actually part of a .ml crosspost (below), I reverse image search image posts if I'm unable to tell if it's OC or not. This Reddit thread and other things that just point to its thread were the only items to come back so I figured why not throw the actual source source in lol

I think that's true and is how it works with regards to hex and grad, however the problem with .ml specifically is that the developers themselves head it and does what they do as covered in the previous comment. This gives Lemmy, and potentially the wider Threadiverse, an image problem that's very hard to shake when trying convince people to come over here. Especially the average user.

What's worse, few instances defederate from them because of potential concerns of damaging the working relationship with said developers. Some smaller instances do, but they're also not stressing the software like a large instance does like .world
