📰 Ubuntu Moving Ahead With Plans For Splitting Up Linux-Firmware, HWE Option
A few months back were discussions of a Linux firmware HWE package for Ubuntu to carry updated firmware blobs under the hardware enablement (HWE) umbrella. Plus also splitting up the monolithic linux-firmware package for easing of firmware updates. Those plans didn't materialize in time for the official Ubuntu 26.10 release but are now being pursued for Ubuntu 27.04 and may then be SRU'ed into Ubuntu 26.10 and potentially Ubuntu 26.04 LTS...

📰 I turned spare ESP32 boards into motion sensors for rooms using a free open-source project without a single sensor
Most of the ESP32-based DIY smart home devices require a list of sensor modules, but you don’t always have to buy them. I wanted to deploy motion sensors in every room, and I hoped I could skip PIR modules on each ESP32.
