Linux kernel version numbers
www.kroah.com/log/blog/2025/12/09/linux-kernel-version-numbersDespite having a stable release model and cadence since December 2003, Linux
kernel version numbers seem to baffle and confuse those that run across them,
causing numerous groups to mistakenly make versioning statements that are flat
out false. So let’s go into how this all works in detail.

Announcing Btrfs support in AlmaLinux OS 10.1
almalinux.org/blog/2025-10-21-announcing-btrfs-support-in-almalinux-10-1Announcing Btrfs support in AlmaLinux OS 10.1
AlmaLinux OS 10.1 will support the Btrfs filesystem, which has already been available in AlmaLinux OS Kitten since early September.
What is Btrfs?
Btrfs is a modern Copy-on-Write (CoW) filesystem implementing advanced features while also focusing on fault tolerance, repair and easy administration. Among other things, it provides snapshotting, built-in volume management, checksumming for data and metadata, transparent compression and efficient copying via reflinks. These features lead to better performance for most common workloads and stronger resistance against bitrot and other potential issues with the underlying storage medium. Btrfs is already supported by a variety of Linux distributions, and is the default filesystem for several of them, notably Fedora Linux and openSUSE.

Why Great Engineering Orgs Thrive on "Normal" Engineers
spectrum.ieee.org/10x-engineerSoftware engineer Charity Majors challenges the "10x engineer" myth, arguing that true productivity lies in team performance, not individual brilliance. She encourages building workplaces where "normal" engineers can thrive. Are we focusing too much on hiring "the best" instead of the right people?

Self Hosting Like Its 2025
kiranet.org/posts/self-hosting-like-its-2025In recent years, self-hosting has emerged as a popular alternative to data-collecting, big-brother services. For a time, I must admit, I was almost addicted to trying out new software, building dashboards, and adding applications I didn’t really need. Now that my setup has remained largely the same for over a year, I wanted to take a moment to summarize what I’ve learned and highlight some software that I found particularly helpful, yet not as widespread as they could be. (And I also needed a topic for my first blog-post ever) . I am not trying to present anything as “the best solution.” After all, problems vary, and so do their solutions. This is not an ad for any of the softwares presented.
