"There has been some limited press coverage about recent #Salt #Typhoon — a Chinese cyber / hacking operation — but most Americans are oblivious about what has transpired. The story is simple. Following Edward #Snowden’s escape to Russia and the release of damning evidence that the US Government was spying on Americans, the US Department of Justice pressured the telecommunications giants — i.e., Verizon, ATT and T-Mobile — to create a #backdoor in their network software that allows Federal law enforcement to read texts and listen to calls on classified apps. If you are using #WhatsApp and think you are safe from the government’s spying eyes, think again."
The --purge switch of systemd-tmpfiles (which was added in v256) has been reworked: it will now only apply to tmpfiles.d/ lines marked with the new "$" flag. This is an incompatible change, and means any tmpfiles.d/ files which shall be used together with --purge need to be updated accordingly. This change has been made to make it harder to accidentally delete too many files when using --purge incorrectly.
The systemd-creds 'cat' verb now expects base64-encoded encrypted credentials as input, for consistency with the 'decrypt' verb and the LoadCredentialEncrypted= service setting. Previously it could only read raw, unencoded binary data.
Support for automatic flushing of the nscd user/group database caches has been dropped.

Support for automatic flushing of the nscd user/group database caches has been dropped.
The FileDescriptorName= setting for socket units is now honored by Accept=yes sockets too, where it was
previously silently ignored and "connection" was used unconditionally. systemd-logind now always obeys block inhibitor locks, where previously it ignored locks taken by the caller or when the caller was root. A privileged caller can always close the other sessions, remove the inhibitor locks, or use --force or --check-inhibitors=no to ignore the inhibitors. This change thus doesn't affect security, since everything that was possible before at a given privilege level is still possible, but it should make the inhibitor logic easier to use and understand, and also help avoiding accidental reboots and shutdowns. New 'block-weak' inhibitor modes were added, if taken they will make the inhibitor lock work as in the previous versions. Inhibitor locks can also be taken by remote users (subject to polkit policy).
systemd-nspawn will now mount the unified cgroup hierarchy into a container if no systemd installation is found in a container's root filesystem. $SYSTEMD_NSPAWN_UNIFIED_HIERARCHY=0 can be used to override this behavior.
/dev/disk/by-id/nvme-* block device symlinks without an NVMe namespace identifier are now fixed to namespace 1 of the device. If no namespace 1 exists for a device no such symlink is created. Previously, these symlinks would point to an unspecified namespace, and thus not be strictly stable references to multi-namespace NVMe devices. These un-namespaced symlinks are mostly obsolete, users and applications should always use the ones with encoded namespace information instead. This change should not affect too many systems, because most NVMe devices only know a namespace 1 by default.
Support for cgroup v1 ('legacy' and 'hybrid' hierarchies) is now considered obsolete and systemd by default will ignore configuration that enables them. To forcibly reenable cgroup v1 support, SYSTEMD_CGROUP_ENABLE_LEGACY_FORCE=1 must additionally be set on the kernel command line.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as systemd, is in fact, systemd/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, systemd plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning systemd system made useful by the systemd services, journald and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by Poettering.
Many computer users run a modified version of systemd every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of systemd which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the systemd init service, developed by Lennart Poettering.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete init syste

lol. I don't like systemd, but this is just a modified version of the GNU/Linux copypasta. It's just a light-hearted jab at the fact that systemd does so many things on Linux systems that it's almost as important as the kernel and GNU utils.
I don't actually know much about Poettering, so not much to say in that regard.
All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of systemd/Linux!
but are they really? how about distros without systemd what would you call those OpenRC/Linux? systemd is indeed a giant intricate project,which is why some people don't like it or are against it,but all its components are working alongside the Linux kernel, without which there wouldn't be a need for systemd. I would say it's rather Linux with systemd,as systemd is optional.
Times Of #Israel: In historic campaign across #Syria, #IDF says it destroyed 80% of Assad regime’s #military
After rebel takeover, Israeli Air Force and Navy strike missile depots, naval vessels, fighter jets and more to ensure they don’t fall into wrong hands.
Following a major 48-hour bombing campaign in Syria, the Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday said it had destroyed most of the former Bashar al-Assad regime’s strategic military capabilities, in an effort to prevent advanced weaponry from falling into the hands of hostile elements.
In a statement, the IDF said that its Air Force and Navy had carried out over 350 strikes against “strategic targets” in Syria since the fall of the Assad regime over the weekend, taking out “most of the strategic weapons stockpiles in Syria.

Following a major 48-hour bombing campaign in Syria, the Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday said it had destroyed most of the former Bashar al-Assad regime’s strategic military capabilities, in an effort to prevent advanced weaponry from falling into the hands of hostile elements.
In a statement, the IDF said that its Air Force and Navy had carried out over 350 strikes against “strategic targets” in Syria since the fall of the Assad regime over the weekend, taking out “most of the strategic weapons stockpiles in Syria.”
The military estimated that it had destroyed 70-80 percent of the former Assad regime’s strategic military capabilities.
The operation was dubbed “Bashan Arrow” within the military, after the biblical name for the Golan Heights and southern Syria region.
The IDF released footage from the campaign, during which it said over 320 targets were struck across all of Syria.
Although Assad has fallen, the tragedies in Syria continue. The Syrian National Army, a Turkish proxy force, has captured the city of Manbij and aims to storm Kobane next.
Turkey intends to conquer all Rojava and carry out ethnic cleansing there.
In 2014, with the tacit support of the Turkish government, the Islamic State took over most of northern Syria, carrying out massacres as they gained ground. In the town of Kobane, locals managed to halt their advance only a few miles from the Turkish border.
Now, Kobane is at risk once again.
In Rojava, multiethnic militias including anarchist volunteers from around the world did most of the fighting and dying in the struggle against the Islamic State. Now the international community is preparing to look away while they are massacred.
We must not let this happen. As in 2019—the last time Turkey mounted a major offensive against Rojava—solidarity actions are urgently needed.

I have an unused Windows tablet from 2021 running some Core M processor or other that I want to put Linux on and start using again. It doesn't have a keyboard so I would have to actually use it as a tablet and not a laptop. Is there a distro built around one of the mobile desktop environments that also runs well on x86? (Last time I tried Linux mobile it was pretty much only for ARM and I never got it to work well on even an x86 virtual machine.) Or is regular GNOME deskrop still my best bet for a tablet?
Should be plenty fast enough to handle Gnome or KDE. I think you'll also want ZRAM because presumably your RAM won't be much and your storage will either be slow or limited. Either way, it wouldn't hurt to enable.
I think both DEs are very touchscreen viable, with the possibility that you may have to configure a teeny bit, like adding a virtual keyboard
I setup Kinoite (KDE Plasma) on my Dad's touchscreen laptop. When flipped into tablet mode it works very well with enlarged touch controls and pen support
Tbh I think the official Ubuntu should be a good choice for that. GNOME should work pretty well with a touchscreen, at least last time I checked. Also, even on some lower spec hardware it should be fast enough.
I think that, if your tablet is actually from post-2010, your processor should definitely be capable of x64 (you specifically wrote x86). But maybe you also just used x86 as a general term for like x86-x64 CPUs.
Maybe it would help to tell us your specific CPU model and maybe RAM, just to be safe.
That’s interesting! Actually a friend contacted me yesterday about android on a PC, and while I immediately replied „no“ I just revisited this and saw your reply! We‘ll give it a shot I think! Thank you!
On Linux there's also the Waydroid project which might be a more safe option and actually runs pretty well on my budget machine considering it runs on top of another OS.
Oh that’s interesting. Just out of curiousity, do you know whether I can connect to devices via Bluetooth from e.g. Waydroid? Would maybe give it a try!
I didn't try that, but I think it is not possible, but since the Android is running on top of Linux, you just connect to your bluetooth headphones using the under Linux and it will have the same result.
thank you! unfortunately it's not about headphones but about some proprietary android app that has it's own protocol to talk with some also proprietary devices via bluetooth, so that probably won't work. but will try bliss os soon (soon = in the next month, hopefully, haha)!
What type of device is it? If it's a Surface device there's a few distros that include the Surface Kernel add-ons, if none of the ones with it included suit you, you can compile the add-ons into the kernel for any Linux distro.
Mobian has an amd64 image available. If you are looking for a "tablet" tablet experience rather than just desktop gnome with an on screen keyboard then that is going to be your best bet.
In terms of DE I would stay with GTK enviroments because GNOME circle has created a pretty extensive environment of apps that feel native there. Both PHOSH and GNOME mobile offer basically the sane experience so you should try them both and see, which you like more in the details
I have an older x86 tablet that I tinker with. The DE I have found to work the best with touch only is KDE Plasma Mobile. Reliable and works similarly to Android.
GNOME has been surprisingly unstable, like an update might ruin some touch capability and make the tablet unusable. It also had weird quirks like not being able to move some windows around, or the cursor some how getting stuck and needing to plug in a mouse to move it again.
Currently I am running EndeavourOS with plasma mobile installed from the AUR which works really well the only thing that sucks is when there is an update for the DE and I have to build the package, which takes a while on that tablet.
Whichever distro you pick, go with the KDE version, then install "plasma-mobile" from the repos.
Linux based, touch-friendly Android apps, full Linux apps. Has a full desktop Chrome but if you run Firefox Android Nightly you get a full tab interface, too.
We've got some old Lenovo Duet 3 tablets that run pretty smooth still. ChromeOS was meant to be light weight.
