Firefox has a hidden snake game, here’s how to play it

If you get bored and fancy a quick game of something, you can play one in Firefox’s address bar – one you know how. Mozilla’s browser boasts an easter-egg, as spotted by Soeren Hentzschel, that is only triggered when using the address bar’s calculator feature. Normally, the sum of a calculation appears with an icon to copy the value to your clipboard. But if that sum is 150, a Firefox icon appears instead. Clicking this icon unfurls a drop-down with a playable version of the well-known mini-game Snake. To try it out, open Firefox, focus the address bar and type […]

Ubuntu refreshes time zone data for Canadian clock changes

This time of the year, clocks spring forward and fall back across the globe, but some places are making permanent changes – and Ubuntu needs to keep pace. Over recent weeks, Canonical has refresh Ubuntu’s system time zone database package tzdata on all supported releases to ensure the system reflects the local time in parts of Canada, where: The system needs to show the right time for obvious reasons (alarms, calendar alerts, knowing when you need to go to bed), but some apps and tooling rely on the tzdata package when trying to calculate times and offsets. Thus, it’s helpful […]

A new version of mpv, the open-source command line media player is out. mpv v0.42 is now able to navigate DVD menus, and the two menu systems that Blu-ray discs use, HDMV and BD-J (the latter requires Java). DVD-Audio support was also added, a nich format that offers higher-resolution audio. Plus, if you have any .iso backups of DVDs or Blu-ray Discs, mpv 0.42 can play those directly – no need to mount them first, which is neat. Elsewhere, a new libcurl based network backend was added, offering HTTP/2, HTTP/3 and connection reuse. Depending on the stream source and type, […]

Canonical is fixing a critical Linux kernel flaw in Ubuntu, weeks after Debian and other distros did – and users aren’t happy about the wait. As of 3 November, patched kernels for CVE-2026-98432 are in testing for Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 and 26.04 LTS, but are yet to hit the stable updates pocket. Canonical hasn’t given a date for when it expects them to. What’s the issue, is it major and why are folks spitting feathers over the fact it hasn’t been patched?

GIMP 3.2.8 offers better initial positioning of dialogs, makes the Preferences page load faster and allows the creation of colourful semi-transparent borders via the Add Border filter.

Canonical adds FIDO2 hardware key support to Launchpad

Developers who use Launchpad can now use a USB FIDO2 security key to restrict API access, which makes any stolen login details useless without it. Launchpad is, as I’m sure you know, where Canonical builds Ubuntu’s package, hosts code, PPAs and many other things that end up on a users’ system. Developer tools, like lp-shell and ubuntu-archive-tools, log in with a saved token, normally kept as a text file or in the desktop keyring on the developer’s machine. Anyone who gets hold of it, malware included, could act as them, with the permissions it carries. Canonical’s Jürgen Gmach says “for most people that […]

Linux Mint is ‘bringing back’ hibernation to laptops

Linux Mint’s next release will offer a hibernation mode, so you can close your laptop mid-session and not worry about returning to a drained battery. A new Sleep Modes page in the System Administration tool in Linux Mint 27, out this December, makes it easy to enable hibernation and ensure it’s setup the way you need. Current versions of Linux Mint suspend when you close the laptop lid. Though snoozing, the device continues to use some power. If the battery runs out while sleeping, the suspended session is kaput – an outcome “worse than a normal shutdown”, say Mint. Hibernation […]

There were other spooks in the shadows with a spotlight. October gave us a double-whammy of Firefox and Calibre updates, with JEPG XL support added in the former and AI reading voices in the latter – among other changes in both. It also delivered a ‘fully rebuilt’ ONLYOFFICE 10.0 with optional AI tools and KeePassXC 2.8, which added its long-awaited support for Wayland auto-type.

This supports connecting to and managing wireless, wired and Bluetooth networking connections, as well as VPNs. It plays signal strength, security and other connection details.

Sanket lets you redesign GNOME’s date menu and Quick Settings

Sanket is a GNOME Shell extension that lets you rejig how the desktop’s date menu, calendar, notifications and Quick Settings look and behave – and then some. It can put notifications beneath the Quick Settings menu in a floating island, or embedded inside of it. Quick Settings toggles can shrink to dots when space is tight, and expand again as and when needed, Android-style. As well as shrinking Quick Settings pills to dots, other menu tweaks let you show up two rows of controls and choose if volume and brightness sliders remain visible in compact mode. An ‘edit’ mode lets […]

LHB Linux Digest #26.17: SSH Config, Docker Compose Override, ...

2026-10-31T05:09:05Z

LHB Linux Digest #26.17: SSH Config, Docker Compose Override, Bash History Tricks and More

This week is about doing less typing. You’ll learn how one small file can replace every long SSH command you type. There’s also a Docker Compose trick that keeps your custom changes safe from updates, and a Bash history tip that saves you retyping long paths.
🗄️ One file for every server
If you look after more than a couple of servers, you probably type things like this many times a day:
ssh -p 2222 -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 abhishek@203.0.113.10
You don’t need to. SSH reads ~/.ssh/config before every connection. Save the details there once and give each server a short name:
Host web
HostName 203.0.113.10
User abhishek
Port 2222
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
Host db
HostName 10.0.0.5
User admin
ProxyJump web
Host *
ServerAliveInterval 60
ServerAliveCountMax 3
Now ssh web is enough. The db entry goes further. That database server sits on a private network, and ProxyJump sends you through web to reach it. You type ssh db and SSH does both hops for you.
The Host * block sets defaults for every server. Here it keeps idle sessions alive, so a quiet terminal doesn’t freeze with a “broken pipe” error. SSH uses the first value it finds for each option, so keep this catch-all block at the bottom of the file.
The aliases work with other tools as well. scp backup.tar.gz web:/tmp/ and rsync -av site/ web:/var/www/ both understand them. Keep the file private with chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config. SSH refuses to use it if other users can write to it.
The SSH config file guide covers more options, including how to override a profile for a single connection. Once your aliases work, try SSH tunneling to reach services that aren’t open to the internet.
New to SSH? The free SSH Fundamentals course walks you through key-based login and securing your server.
🐳 DevOps corner: override, don’t edit
Many self-hosted apps ship a compose.yml that gets replaced every time you update. If you change it directly, your next git pull fails with “local changes would be overwritten”.
Put your changes in a compose.override.yml next to it:
services:
ghost:
logging:
driver: json-file
options:
max-size: "10m"
max-file: "3"
Docker Compose merges this file in automatically when you run docker compose up. The upstream file stays as it is, so updates go through cleanly. Run docker compose config to see the merged result before you restart anything.
I explain the full setup, with log rotation, in how Docker Compose override fixed my Ghost server.
By the way, if you used Watchtower for automatic updates, here are some alternatives that still work.
💡 Quick terminal tip
The !! repeats the previous command, but Bash can also reuse the arguments from past commands.
Use !command:1, !command:$, and !command:* to retrieve the first, last, or all arguments from the previous command.

📰 Linux news that matters
Anthropic used Claude to generate formal proofs for 123 OSS-Fuzz libraries, discovering bugs that years of fuzz testing had missed and demonstrating that AI could help make large-scale formal verification practical for software security.
AWS Lambda Web Functions allow developers to deploy standard Node.js web applications and frameworks directly on Lambda with concurrent request handling, response streaming, and built-in global routing, removing the need for adapters and much of the traditional HTTP infrastructure.
Amazon is discouraging "tokenmaxxing" and warning engineers not to use AI excessively just to boost productivity metrics. The company says software quality, customer outcomes, and business impact are better measures of success than token consumption or AI adoption rates.
Cisco has open-sourced Project Quarry, a security framework that detects suspicious AI agent behavior by analyzing entire action sequences rather than isolated events.
Gregory Kurtzer, creator of Rocky Linux, unveiled Ginux, a Rust-based kernel that can boot Rocky Linux userspace while remaining independent of the Linux kernel itself.
Tesco is reportedly planning to migrate store infrastructure from VMware to Proxmox, adding another high-profile enterprise to the growing list evaluating open-source virtualization alternatives.

We added a manual dark mode toggle to the site (cos you asked)

You may have noticed OMG! Ubuntu looking a little cleaner lately. Earlier this month, Sam and I finally rolled out a refreshed site backend, along with some changes to the bits you look at when you come here. Boring stuff to read about, I know. But a few of the changes were done because readers asked for them, so I wanted to quickly mention them. Firstly, the mobile homepage is now more info-dense.

Ubuntu 27.04 ‘Tenacious T-Rex’ opens for development

Development on Ubuntu 27.04, codenamed ‘Tenacious T-Rex’, has officially begun. The tenacious archive is now open (30 October 2026), with auto-sync from Debian set to pull in a tranche of updated packages since the Ubuntu 26.10 release. Over the course of the next six months, those will be tested, set and form the basis of the final, stable release. Ubuntu 27.04 is scheduled for release on 22 April 2027, with a beta preceding it on 1 April (not a joke). Ubuntu 26.10 saw its beta delayed by a week, but hopefully the new development cycle has fewer hiccups. What to […]

Gelly is a GTK desktop music player for Jellyfin and Navidrome

If you run your own music streaming server using Jellyfin or Navidrome/Subsonic, and you want a solid desktop player to browse and stream your library in, Gelly is worth a look. It bills itself as a “native, lightweight music player” for the aforementioned streaming servers (along with compatible ones). It’s written in Rust and GTK4/libadwaita and, as any good player should, it lets you browse, play and control music playback. And it does all of that with a modern design and layout. Having recently set up Jellyfin on my Raspberry Pi 4 (to replace its ageing installation of dust and […]

Adjusting active noise cancellation (ANC) on Nothing or CMF earbuds means taking out your phone, opening the official mobile app and twiddling a setting there. EarA, a new open-source tool, aims to nix that palaver. It’s a GTK4 app (with a CLI for those who prefer the terminal), and lets you change settings on earbuds like the Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds 2, from your Linux desktop. Noise control/ANC levels can be switched with a click. There are toggles to disable personalised ANC and in-ear detection and use low latency. Gesture behaviours (on supported devices) can be set as […]

Canonical has announced it’s ‘accelerating’ development of Ubuntu Core Desktop, its immutable, snap-based version of its desktop OS. Ubuntu Core Desktop was announced in 2023 and made available in preview for enthusiasts to try. But a lack of of obvious progress and direction (not to mention up-to-date builds) had left many wondering if Canonical was running cool on the idea. Now, things are finally kicking up a gear, says Jon Seager, VP of Engineering at Canonical. A newly-formed Ubuntu Core Desktop team within the company will work on bringing Ubuntu Core Desktop into shape, with builds available ahead of the […]

On Ubuntu long-term support (LTS) releases, you can stick with the standard (GA) kernel it was released with for the duration of its support period, or you can install the HWE update, which brings newer Linux kernel versions to existing Ubuntu LTS releases. Right now, both kernels share the same firmware package, which means firmware updates designed to work with HWE kernels can cause problems for users who stick with the GA kernel. Ubuntu developer Juerg Haefliger noted that a firmware backport for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, intended for its Linux 7.0 […]

Trash talking Ubuntu’s confusing British bin labels

Every operating systems needs somewhere to put the files you delete (and give you chance to rummage through to find the ones you want to keep). But, if you’re a Brit using Ubuntu, the name of that place varies based on where you look. It seems Ubuntu’s UK English translation team don’t agree on what to call a bin. The dock hover label says Trash. That opens a Rubbish Bin in the file manager, and that show an action bar button to Empty Wastebasket… Right-click on a file in the tr… Er, file holding area, and you have the choice […]

Firefox 159 released with Wayland Linux fixes

Firefox 159 is out, with a fresh set of improvements and some Linux-specific fixes. Now that Mozilla’s browser hews to a faster release cadence, with two releases a month rather than one, some changelogs may look minor on their own, as they’re smaller, if more frequent slices. So what’s changed? The Passwords tool in the browser sidebar (added as an option in Firefox 145) is now shown by default. This lets you find credentials in the same window as a web page, no mousing through menus or juggling with floating dialogs. It’s also a smidgen easier to search your open […]

Ubuntu users can now file bugs against specific Launchpad PPAs

Launchpad now offers bug tracking for personal package archives (PPAs), making it easier for users to report issues specific to software within a PPA. Why does that matter? Well, not all PPAs are maintained by their upstream counterparts – folks who, frankly, aren’t always minded to care about quirks in their software that might be down to someone else’s packaging methods. Plus, PPAs are often used to provide newer or experimental versions of software that the version in the standard Ubuntu repositories, and different PPAs can distribute different versions of the same software. With the new tracking support, users can […]

PHP2Shell scare sees SuperTuxKart pull its online server

SuperTuxKart has taken several online services offline, having pulled the server that powers them rather than risk it being exploited by PHP2shell. The open-source karting game is not alone in ‘pitting’ to patch, with Wikimedia, DeviantArt, government websites and many more taking various systems offline to harden against it. While offline, gamers can’t reset their online account passwords, check rankings or upload new add-ons. Offline components, like split-screen and LAN multiplayer, do work, as do online add-on downloads and online play, but only for registered users. SuperTuxKart notes that attempts to exploit php2shell were recorded as early as 17 October, […]

Shader Effects is the coolest GNOME extension you’ll try this weekend

Ever wondered what your Ubuntu desktop would look like if you were watching it on a chewed up VHS tape or an old monochrome CRT monitor? You probably haven’t, but a new GNOME Shell extension lets you find out anyway. The Shader Effects extension applies GPU-accelerated filters, things like scan lines, NTSC RGB bloom and flickery green CRT glow, to your entire desktop or, if you’d rather, just a specific window(s). You can see three of the effects demoed in this video clip: The extension’s preference panel lets you fine-tune how intense the chosen effect is, and you can dial […]

LHB Linux Digest #26.16: Bash Arrays, mapfile, Self-hosted Linear ...

2026-10-24T04:37:34Z

LHB Linux Digest #26.16: Bash Arrays, mapfile, Self-hosted Linear Alternative and More

It's a short edition, but a timely one.
If you have an OpenCode Console account, jump to the news section first. A breach there may have exposed third-party API keys, and rotating yours now is cheap insurance.
Also, the Linux Foundation security certification sale I mentioned last week ends in a few hours. If you were on the fence, this is your last chance.
On the learning side, it's Bash arrays this week, plus a neat way to fill one straight from a command with mapfile.
Also, I have revamped the courses page so that you can have a better understanding of where to start learning.
🧵 One variable, many values
Most scripts start with plain variables. Then one day you need to hold a list of files, servers or usernames, and you end up with file1, file2, file3. That's when you need arrays.
servers=("web01" "web02" "db01")
echo "${servers[0]}" # first element
echo "${#servers[@]}" # number of elements
servers+=("cache01") # append one more element
Indexing starts at 0, and the curly braces are essential. Otherwise echo $servers[0] will print web01[0], which is not what you would want.
The common confusing part is quoting. Always loop over "${servers[@]}" with the double quotes. It expands each element as its own word, so an item like my file.txt stays in one piece. Drop the quotes and Bash splits it into my and file.txt. Use "${servers[*]}" instead and you get everything together into a single string.
You can also take a slice. "${servers[@]:1:2}" gives you two elements starting from index 1.
When numbers don't make sense as keys, use an associative array. It maps names to values, like a dictionary:
declare -A port=([ssh]=22 [http]=80 [https]=443)
echo "${port[https]}" #outputs 443
So how do you fill an array with the output of a command? That's this week's tip.
💡 Quick terminal tip
The mapfile command lets you load command output directly into an array, no ugly while read loop needed. For example.
mapfile -t files < <(find . -name "*.log")
The above command searches the current directory (.) and all subdirectories for files ending in .log. And stores their paths as elements of the Bash array files.
Now, you can access each result as files[0], files[1], etc.
echo "${files[0]}"
⌛ Last call: security certifications at 40% off
Quick reminder from last week. The Linux Foundation's Cybersecurity Awareness Month sale ends today, 23rd October at 23:59 UTC.
If you manage servers, containers or pipelines, you're expected to know how to lock them down. A certification is how you prove it to someone who's hiring.
The CKS (Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist) is the obvious pick if you work with Kubernetes. You can bundle the KCSA (Kubernetes and Cloud Native Security Associate) and CKS exams for $387 instead of $645.
You get two exam attempts within 12 months, so you only need to buy today. Prepare over the next few months and sit the exam when you're ready.

📰 Linux news that matters
A breach affecting about 1.4% of OpenCode Console users may have exposed third-party API keys for providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google after attackers gained access to a legacy system.
Google has added local model support to the Antigravity SDK, allowing developers to run AI agents using local models such as Gemma 4 through LiteRT or OpenAI-compatible backends.
Cloudflare has open-sourced Void, a collection of tools from the VoidZero team that includes a full-stack SDK, deployment CLI, and a self-hostable platform for managing employee-created applications.
Harvard's analysis suggests that as AI makes writing code easier, engineering productivity will increasingly depend on improving validation and review processes rather than generating more code.
A security reporting mistake exposed details of several unpatched Linux kernel vulnerabilities on the public Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML), potentially giving attackers advance knowledge before fixes are widely deployed.
GitHub Enterprise Cloud can now automatically enforce open source license compliance during pull requests, preventing non-compliant dependencies from entering codebases.
Google has open-sourced TorchTPU, enabling native PyTorch workloads to run on TPUs while integrating with popular AI tools and frameworks such as Hugging Face, vLLM, SGLang, Ray, and TorchTitan.
The PyTorch Foundation has added nine new members, including Shopify, Nebius, and Nscale, further strengthening the open-source AI ecosystem.

Canonical’s AI launcher for Ubuntu is a mockup you can try

What would deeper AI integration on the Ubuntu desktop look like? Well, you don’t need to think too hard to find out. A Canonical engineer has published a prototype launcher that simulates how on-device AI could be used to enhance and aid users of the Ubuntu desktop. But the warty-prototype snap by Didier Roche-Tolomelli (aka didrocks) is not a real launcher. It’s a semi-interactive, automated mockup. It simulates things a user could do, and that includes interacting with a (theoretical) on-device AI model to complete tasks. The Snap Store listing refers to it as a ‘design-discussion prototype of the next Ubuntu […]

Ubuntu rolls out php2shell, eMudhra certificate fixes

Ubuntu has released security updates for the php2shell PHP flaw that’s led to websites being taken offline, and a key compromise at the eMudhra certificate authority. Desktop Ubuntu isn’t directly affected by php2shell, since PHP isn’t installed by default. The certificate issue is more of a browser-based concern, though Google, Apple, Mozilla et al blocked the bad certificates on 17 October. Ubuntu’s ca-certificates package update removes two root certificates from the list Ubuntu trusts, both of whom had vouched for eMudhra. This will help protect tools like curl and wget that don’t use their own lists. Open Software Updater to check for […]

Firefox 158.0.1 brings important security fixes

Mozilla Firefox 158.0.1 is rolling out with some important security fixes. I don’t tend to cover Firefox point releases. They mainly include minor fixes (for things the majority of users won’t have noticed were wrong in the first place). But this week’s Firefox 158.0.1 is more ‘meaty’ than usual point release fare. Among the security advisories this update plugs are eight intermediate certificates belonging to the eMudhra certificate authority, whose private keys were recently compromised. An attacker with those keys could use them to issue certificates to impersonate a legitimate site or read/alter the traffic. Firefox users are already protected, […]

Give Nautilus file manager the ‘Computer’ view it lacks

The Nautilus file manager is great for browsing your files and folders, but it lacks a dedicated way to see all your drives a how much space is left on each – but you can add one. Nautilus My Computer is a third-party view for GNOME Files providing a centralised page listing drives, with storage usage bars to show which mounts, volumes, partitions, etc., have room to spare and which are getting full. Drives can be interacted with like folders, so double-click on one to enter it or right-click to access options to open it in new tab, or window or to unmount or eject, etc., depending on the drive/mount type. A ‘Preferred Folders’ section sits at […]

BleachBit 6.0.6 released with fixes for admin cleaning on Linux

BleachBit, the free, open-source and cross-platform system cleaning utility has a new maintenance release out – with support for Ubuntu 26.10. BleachBit 6.0.6 introduces cleaners for the Helium browser and Docker Desktop (including its AI assistant). This update also boosts app startup times, and makes deep scan, file deletion and file wiping faster, the latter now wiping in 512 KiB blocks rather than 4 KiB. A few preexisting cleaners now extend to more areas. Stale crash reports, GPU caches and session files for Claude, VS Code-based editors and Chromium can (optionally; variously) be expunged with this update. LibreWolf cleaning now […]
