I think the "Ubuntu Core 22" means it is the snap based version of Steam rather than the deb version.
If you look at the snapcraft.yaml for the Steam snap, it uses core22
as its base.

This is a great summary. Thanks!
The reasons for this shift in budget away from funding Free Software and the NGI initiative seems to be an allocation of more funds for AI, leaving internet infrastructure by the wayside. Meanwhile, the EC has thus far declined to comment to share its official reasoning for striking this funding from its budget.
Sigh. It appears that they are chasing after the latest "shiny" thing instead of investing in existing infrastructure. Not surprising, but disappointing.
Not a bad list. Off the top of my head, I would say it is missing two things:
The "Introduction to Operating Systems" link no longer works (redirects to "Autonomous Systems" courses). Instead, I would recommend using Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces, which is the textbook I use in my OS course.
Finally, something like The Missing Semester of Your CS Education would also be a nice extra.
And that's exactly what happened in your case David. Which is why I'm so happy (also because I fixed the tools from an author I like and already had the books at home :-P):
Really detailed and cool response from the kernel developer. I also found the use of the recent BPF feature to provide a workaround until a proper kernel fix lands really interesting.
Would to see them publish stable releases via this apt repository as well.
No word on how long it will get software support though. With everyone else going to 5 or 7 years of updates, Motorola's typical 2 year support cycle is a huge negative.
I wish they had a mastodon account... they have https://mozilla.social, but they don't have an account there... which is bizarre.
They do have an account for Firefox Nightly and Firefox Dev Tools account though.
Headline is a bit misleading... This is just Tails updating to the latest LTS kernel, which has the security fix (which many other distributions have done).
This update is a good thing, but the headline made it sound like the Tails project was contributing a fix to the kernel.
Anyway, thanks for sharing.
Currently self-hosting my own mastodon server and honestly the setup wasn't too bad (using docker)... much more straight-forward than I feared.
My main concerns, which Julia mentions, is that if you have a small instance, you are very much an island as the way federation work is not what you expect. For instance, as Julia notes, if you view a new person's profile on your own instance, it will look empty (as if they haven't posted anything). Lemmy also has this issue if you view a community you have not subscribed to yet for the first time.
Likewise, my "#explore" tab is basically always empty and discovering new tags or people is difficult if you are just looking on your own instance (I basically have to go to Fossotodon or another instance to find new things and then import them into my own instance). I've recently learned that you have to have a third party application basically seed your instance with posts... again, similar to the bot tricks use for seeding Lemmy with communities.
Overall, I think discovery is a big pain point for the fediverse and ActivityPub. It's great that we can have our own instances and control our own small communities, but it seems that we are lacking the ability to really connect across instances and form experiences that really bridge across multiple communities.
I wonder if it is because of the various outages on both instance and the new "dead instance" detection, lemmy.ml has temporarily stopped receiving updates?
The federation code now includes a check for dead instances which is used when sending activities. This helps to reduce the amount of outgoing POST requests, and also reduce server load.
I still haven't done much of Varlamore Part 1(just some thieving of rich citizens and hunter rumours). With Part 2, I did do the Colossol Wyrm agility course and got the graceful recolor. I have yet to do Moons or the new prayer training.
That said, I did try out Hueycotl with some friends and... it was kinda lacking. The fight is long and the drops are not good. I know they recently buffed the drop table a bit, but I'm not in a rush to go back... Which is fine, I still have lots of things to do (ie. I just finished Sins of the Father and am now working on the Elite Varrock diary).
