This week the headlines are big! First up, more than 400 packages on the AUR have been compromised. Then, the Linux kernel patches a critical ARM CVE from last year. Plus, Linux 7.1 is about to release with FRED and HDMI 2.1. And the US Government has shut down Anthropic Fable and Mythos. The tips are a bit more mellow, with xxd for terminal hex dumps, schroot for secure chroots, and the keyboard shortcuts provided by readline.

There are NASA Administrators, and then there are NASA Administrators—all are very accomplished individuals, but some stand out for their unique backgrounds and on-the-job successes, and Jim Bridenstine is one of the latter.
