Users of #Fedora / #Arch #Linux and FreeBSD should watch out for #PackageKit updates and update as soon as they are available, to avoid a few security issues. PackageKit 1.4.0 was just released and resolves a bunch of CVEs/GHSAs. See lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pac... / github.com/PackageKit/P...

Forgot your root password? No problem! With #PackageKit <= 1.3.4 you can do all the fun root action on any Linux system you have local access to, no privileges required! Don't like that "feature"? Then PLEASE UPDATE your system ASAP to PackageKit >= 1.3.5 or any fixed distro package! 1/3

Open source maintainer and PhD candidate @mklu.bsky.social first got curious about Linux as a teenager with a very slow internet connection but big passion for computer systems. That curiosity sparked a journey into open source that continues to this day.

In case you missed it last week, here’s the first of a series of in-depth interviews from the first cohort of the Sovereign Tech Fellowship. Open source maintainer Sarah Hoffmann loves to discover beautiful places IRL – and in code: www.sovereign.tech/news/meet-sa... #MaintainerSpotlight

I am very honored to be part of the first Sovereign Tech Fellowship program! This will directly support my work on #FreeDesktop, #AppStream and #PackageKit, so expect a lot more changes faster, and also way faster patch reviews. Also check out the amazing program and the other fellows!
