Berthe Morisot never became as famous as her counterparts Claude Monet and Édouard Manet, but her work has an important place in art history.

Handy primer, but also out of date, especially for RHEL and RHEL-adjacent. For one thing, they’re all in on NetworkManager. The commands outlined in the article aren’t permanent, and it doesn’t go over ways to make them permanent. Secondly, teaming is deprecated by RH since the guy who maintained the driver quit.
in reply to d00phy

Do you happen to know any more recent documentation that would have similar diagrams?
in reply to ouch

I don’t. I usually search for, e.g., nmcli bridge setup
in reply to ouch

I use macvtaps in my homelab for vulnerable VMs because no matter how I set up the bridges or what guide I followed it just broke networking every time on a headless server that's a massive pain to fix.

Wish I knew about macvtaps from the get-go, it was a dead giveaway that bridges are some demonic shit on Linux as every guide was different, and for every guide there was always some people on Reddit saying how it didn't work for them at all.

I haven't found myself missing hard-corpo software in a while but in that moment I really wished I was just using VMware on windows where creating a bridge interface takes one click instead of janky virsh syntax and messing with ifconfig etc.

Forgotten generation: After one year of conflict, the IRC warns of the life-long impacts for Gaza’s children


  • About 17,000 children are estimated to be unaccompanied or separated from parents and caregivers. The IRC thinks this figure could be three times as high (51,000).
  • Frequent Israeli evacuation orders, detentions, and attacks have contributed to more families being separated in Gaza over the past few months.
  • Some children have been found living alone in hospitals.
  • Unaccompanied and separated children face high risks of child labor, exploitation, neglect, starvation, and long-term mental health impacts.
  • Every child, parent, and caregiver in Gaza is experiencing trauma.
  • IRC teams in Gaza are seeing increased rates of severe and acute malnutrition in children under five.
  • Children in Gaza have now missed one year of education because of the collapse of the education destruction of school buildings caused by Israeli bombardment.

Big fan of the IRC team. They invited me to Ghana. I did not take them up on it (no passport yet). They’ve got some incredible stories.


Threads is working on a community groups feature

The ‘Loops’ feature may help users follow and engage with specific topics, similar to X’s Communities or subreddits.



I'm trying to search through ancient #Facebook #OpenSource code for a specific implementation detail which they didn't care to document.

But now #Microsoft who owns #GitHub tells me that they can't have me waste their precious resources by using their magnificent search function and rate-limited me.

I'm supposed to sit back, take a break and return in an hour.

#Enshittification continues.

#Software developers should probably stop relying on GitHub.

This specific eco system is probably going to collapse soon, like everything that capitalists touch.

Companies are feverishly looking for alternatives to vSphere and ESXi because they don't want to pay Broadcom's prices. It's their own fault, comments Martin Loschwitz.

Intel Revs Linux Driver Patches To Fend Off PCIe Thermal Issues Via Bandwidth Reduction

Originally published last summer were patches from Intel for the Linux kernel to introduce a PCI Express bandwidth controller Linux driver to provide a PCIe cooling mechanism via bandwidth reduction to devices in order to prevent thermal issues. One year later this driver continues to be worked on and today brought the eighth iteration of these patches...

On Watch by John E Marriott (Canada)

The winner of the animal portraits category frames a lynx resting, with its fully grown young sheltering from the cold wind behind it.
With climate change reducing snow coverage, giving other predators more opportunities to hunt hares, hare populations may decline, in turn affecting the lynx population
