📰 GIMP finally made me switch to this free alternative, and I'm not going back

Since I could remember, GIMP has always been recommended as the free and open-source Photoshop alternative, and for good reason. I’m not here to downplay its abilities, it’s clearly a super capable editor that holds its own against paid software. While its functionality isn’t perfect on all fronts, my problem was never really with what it was capable of doing - it’s the experience of actually doing it.

Flatpak Sandbox Escape & Deleting Host Files (CVE-2026-34078)

Уязвимость (критичность 9.3 из 10) позволяла приложению в формате Flatpak, обойти режим изоляции, получить доступ к файлам в хост-системе и выполнить произвольный код.
Для организации выполнения своего кода в системе, нужно изменить ~/.bashrc или ~/.profile, или изменить файл ~/.ssh/authorized_keys с ключами SSH.
Уязвимость устранена в версии 1.16.4.
Также рекомендуют отключить сервис flatpak-portal: $ sudo systemctl --global mask flatpak-portal.service && systemctl --user stop flatpak-portal.service.

📰 I stopped recommending the 3GB Raspberry Pi 4, and here's why

As a hobbyist, I love experimenting with SBCs and microcontrollers. However, the launch of Raspberry Pi 4 with 3GB of RAM has bamboozled me. The new Pi model joins an already bloated lineup. It was introduced at $84 on April 1, 2026 — I had to investigate if it was a joke. Sadly, it isn't.
