So far seems to be a pretty solid release!
Seeking feedback from AppArmor users - new profile for MariaDB in Debian and Ubuntu
(optimizedbyotto.com)
After comparing several of these directories, seems https://euro-stack.com/ is the most comprehensive. I also like that it allows to filter by both being European and open source.
It is also made by the same people who run https://eurostack.eu/ and who got a lot of visibility delivering the https://euro-stackletter.eu/ letter to President Von der Leyen a year ago. Hopefully they settle soon on what is their primary domain :)
Elsewhere people seem to be recommending https://euro-stack.com/ as the most comprehensive directory
Univeristy student keen to gain open source skills this summer? If you, or someone you know, want to contribute to Debian with Google's sponsorship, explore the GSoC 2026 project ideas now: https://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2026/Projects
Applications open until end of March - look into project ideas already this weekend!
There’s a priest, a baby and a bag of candy. I need to take them across the river but I can only take one at a time into my boat. In what order should I transport them?
You can easily use the link https://openrouter.ai/chat?models=anthropic%2Fclaude-opus-4.6%2Copenai%2Fgpt-5.2%2Cx-ai%2Fgrok-4.1-fast%2Cgoogle%2Fgemini-3.1-pro-preview%2Cz-ai%2Fglm-5%2Cminimax%2Fminimax-m2.5%2Cqwen%2Fqwen3.5-plus-02-15%2Cmoonshotai%2Fkimi-k2.5 to ask all flagship models this question in parallel. Personally I would definitely not leave my children alone with a priest (they might try to convert them), but if your constraint is only baby+candy, then in my test Gemini, GLM, Qwen and Kimi made that, and only that, assumption.
Actually I set out with the assumption that flagship models would fail even on these fairly simple questions that I have seen them failing on before, but I was suprised they didn't all fail.
MariaDB has a lot of users, and they should be more vocal about it to give it more visibility.
I wouldn't be surprised to see multiple MySQL forks emerge in 2026, now that more people are realizing how bad Oracle has been as an open source project steward for MySQL.
I welcome more paid schemes, such as Ubuntu Pro, as I believe it is beneficial for the whole ecosystem.
In case you are Czech, there is a translation at https://www.root.cz/clanky/prestante-uz-pouzivat-mysql-neni-to-skutecny-open-source/?nahled=1
Glad to see more translations show up!
Exactly. I don't use Omarchy, but I think it is good someone did a polished distro for a specific use case, and some web dev Windows users will surely find it more appealing than a generic distro where they need to figure out a lot of stuff from scratch.
To me it is hard to find the best apps in their directory as they don't have a good ranking system. The other sites that rank by GitHub stars do a pretty good job of surfacing what are the truly most popular and successful apps.
TLS is good *only' if you are also validating those certs. And that is what MariaDB 11.8 is now doing.
