"'This release remains on track, nothing special to report. The biggest patch here is for the AMD microcode signing snafu[1], other than that it all looks entirely regular with small fixes spread fairly normally across the board.

NGC 1499: The California Nebula
* Image Credit & Copyright: Toni Fabiani Mendez

Explanation:
Could Queen Calafia's mythical island exist in space? Perhaps not, but by chance the outline of this molecular space cloud echoes the outline of the state of California, USA. Our Sun has its home within the Milky Way's Orion Arm, only about 1,000 light-years from the California Nebula. Also known as NGC 1499, the classic emission nebula is around 100 light-years long. On the featured image, the most prominent glow of the California Nebula is the red light characteristic of hydrogen atoms recombining with long lost electrons, stripped away (ionized) by energetic starlight. The star most likely providing the energetic starlight that ionizes much of the nebular gas is the bright, hot, bluish Xi Persei just to the right of the nebula. A regular target for astrophotographers, the California Nebula can be spotted with a wide-field telescope under a dark sky toward the constellation of Perseus, not far from the Pleiades.

Our nearest decent size town (Pikeville, KY) got hammered with the #flood today. We're fine; our house is a reasonable distance above the creek, but our road got messed up and all the local towns that are built down on the riverbanks got decimated. Somebody just sent me this video in a group message on Signal:

'"[…] rc3 is actually right in line with normal releases at this point […]

The diffstat is mostly normal […]

[…] all looks pretty small and normal […]

[1] seems @torvalds accidentally sent the announcement only to the linux-btrfs list 😄

@jlw_the_jobber
I am back on Qtile and using Picom as my compositor. How do you prefer to manage all you dot files? just have a seperate git repo for each that you want? Or just a general dots repo? I've been wanting to get more comfortable with git. Such as gitignore and what not. I typically just do a dots repo or a specific repo for the subject/package.

@itsfoss apparmor broke so many things from time to time.
