I thought it might be fun to share the current Terminal Tilt workload and the state of things for February 2026.

We recently crossed 1000 subscribers (currently at 1033) and 100,000 views since starting the channel in December. That is pretty amazing and it shows there is a thirst for honest #NoAI Linux based videos that explore all things technology (especially privacy).

The "Sovereign Authentication" Series Video 0 of the hardware security key series is already live (published Feb 9!). Today was a heavy production day, I recorded the voiceovers for 3 of the 4 remaining videos. I have one more VO to capture, and then the heavy lifting begins in Kdenlive.

Each video usually takes me between 2 and 8 hours to edit. I’ve already finished the thumbnails, so once that final recording is done (hopefully tomorrow, depending on life in general), I’m jumping straight into the timeline.

Once the security series wraps, I am looking at my 4-year-old Keychron Q1 V2. I have heavily modified it, lubed Gateron Ink v2 Blacks, custom padding, and keycaps. That video will serve as a primer for future keyboard reviews, followed immediately by a look at the Epomaker TH99 Pro currently sitting in the box next to my desk.

In the future, I am also working on:

A look at the Divoom Pixoo 64 (pixel art display) and the Fanttik E2 Ultra electric screwdriver.

A giant overview of ~50 Debian-based (non-Ubuntu) distros. I have had requests for "shiny" trend chasing distros like CachyOS, but I am resisting chasing the views.

I am researching Linux-friendly networking equipment for future reviews, probably going to look at a few switches.

I am also exploring the potential of doing live streaming. I have concerns about doing it on YouTube as their algorithm can penalize your long-form videos when you post VODs from past streams. I might just start streaming on Twitch, but that audience doesn't seem to fit what we are building. OwnCast would be ideal but I don't think my homelab is ideal for that setup. I could stream on PeerTube but I am also worried about filling up my allotted storage with VODs on my instance.

Some ideas I have had for a live streaming are things like maintenance of my Thinkpad by cleaning and reapplying thermal paste, or we could do "Sysadmin Sundays Mornings" where I update and maintain all of the systems I am responsible for, or even blindly exploring obscure and unique distros together. We could also just do some Linux Gaming. We will see, no promises.

I have a .md file overflowing with ideas, so there is plenty more to come. Thanks for following the journey!

Current status: Upgrading to the latest version of Linux Mint. Hours of frustration, due to me badly configuring partitions in the past, plus an annoying NVIDIA driver issue. But I finally broke through, and resolved the major issues. Phew.

Hhmm, werfe ich mal einen Blick auf #Wero...

"Zubereitungszeit: 5 Minuten (Aktivierung in Deiner Banking-App)"

Ich habe weder einen Google-Account noch eine Banking-App. Eine Banking-App habe ich nicht, weil meine Bank nicht #F-Droid unterstützt, und weil ich meinem #Android via #FairPhone nicht ausreichend vertraue. Dagegen vertraue ich meinem #GNU/Linux bzw. #Fedora oder #PureOS mit #Firefox.

PayPal kann ich auch im Browser nutzen. Geht das auch mit Wero? Ansonsten ist der Weg da echt noch weit.

Crónica del 30 de enero de 2026: soberanía por todas partes

El pasado viernes 30 de enero, como cada último viernes de cada mes, nos reunimos en Las Naves (bueno, realmente en La Harinera, por un ajuste de última hora) para disfrutar de nuevo del contacto cara a cara con la ciudadanía valenciana.

Un pequeño experimento 🧪

En esta ocasión, queríamos probar un formato un poco diferente a las 2 actividades que solemos realizar cada tarde… y montar 4 charlas diferentes, con gente de diferentes entornos y asociaciones, a hablar sobre soberanía tecnológica.

Y creo que podemos decir que… salió bastante bien. Varias decenas de personas se acercaron a ver las distintas charlas, y hubo muchísima participación. 🎉

¡Muchísimas gracias a toda la gente que vino! La familia y la concienciación va poquito a poco abriéndose paso. ❤️

Todas las charlas serán publicadas en formato vídeo 📹

Aún nos faltan revisar las grabaciones, pero en principio las charlas fueron grabadas y serán publicadas en nuestras redes. ¡Síguenos y no te las pierdas!

Las presentaciones 📊

Todas las personas que presentaron durante esta «Vesprada de Sobirania Tecnològica», han puesto a disposición del público las distintas diapositivas utilizadas, para que puedan ser estudiadas con detenimiento.

Contraseñas seguras y fáciles para todo el mundo 🔐

Ivan, miembro de la asociación, dió una charla rápida para intentar convencernos a todos que los gestores de contraseñas son utilísimos, y no solo eso, sino increíblemente fáciles y convenientes.

Aquí os dejamos el repositorio en el que Ivan ha colgado la presentación. Muy pronto estará disponible el vídeo.

OpenStreetMap: cartografía libre de acceso, uso y distribución 🗺️

Jorge Sanz nos acercó este proyecto titánico y colaborativo de una forma muy muy amena. ¿Sabías que tú también puedes participar? ¡Averigua cómo con esta presentación super-completa!

Aquí puedes consultar las diapositivas de la presentación. Muy pronto estará disponible el vídeo.

Software libre para una cultura libre ⛓️‍💥

Guillem Carbonell es una persona muy creativa que se dió cuenta del grave problema de aprender y utilizar herramientas privativas para desarrollar su arte. ¡No te pierdas su enumeración de herramientas clave!

Aquí puedes consultar las diapositivas de la presentación. Muy pronto estará disponible el vídeo.

Introducción a la privacidad: y alternativas europeas 😎

Giorgio Mansioni, trajo una presentación repleta de información variada para mejorar nuestra privacidad digital, y aumentar la soberanía sobre nuestra propia información, y la huella que vamos dejando por Internet.

Aquí puedes consultar las diapositivas de la presentación. Muy pronto estará disponible el vídeo.

¿Qué sigue este 2026? 🔍

Pues como ya deberías saber, el 20 de febrero arranca la LliureJam, una game jam para que novatos y experimentados en el desarrollo visual, de sonido y videojuegos se ponen a competir para crear un videojuego en tiempo récord. ¡Y lo haremos con software libre!

Haremos varios eventos locales en València junto al Hackerspace VLC, para dar soporte y herramientas a la gente que quiera participar (y a la que no también).

Y como bien sabes, cada último viernes de mes, nos seguiremos reuniendo en Las Naves para hacer diferentes talleres, charlas, debates… poniendo sobre la mesa el valor del software libre en la liberación y democratización de nuestro futuro.

¡Gracias por leernos! No te olvides de seguirnos en las demás plataformas.

Terminé de armar el sitio y este es mi primer artículo ;3

Linux holds a stable 4% global market share in January 2026.
I remember being told Linux would never pass 1%... well, I think they were badly mistaken.

Did you know that Wi-Fi 7 is not technically the same thing as Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 7?

It is important to understand the difference between "Wi-Fi 7" and "Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 7" when shopping for networking hardware. Wi-Fi 7 (or the non-hyphenated WiFi 7) is a marketing term for IEEE 802.11be. This label is often applied to "pre-standard" or "draft" hardware. While these devices utilize 802.11be technology, they are not strictly required to implement all of the features to use the name.

Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 7 is the official designation from the Wi-Fi Alliance. This certification ensures a device has passed interoperability testing and supports mandatory features like Multi-Link Operation (MLO) for simultaneous data transmission across 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands, and Preamble Puncturing for selective channel utilization to bypass interference.

Hardware marketed as "Wi-Fi 7" may omit mandatory certification features or optional enhancements like 320 MHz channels and 4K-QAM. For production environments or stable homelabs, the CERTIFIED logo is the only guarantee of compliance with the finalized standard.

Howdy netizens! I'm trying to figure out how to best organize a Linux install fest. Has anyone organized one of these? Can you point me to a blog or other docs with experiences? I'm running into a really old howto and not much else. Please help me uncover this ancient ritual!

#JeDemande

Quelqu'un saurait-il si #KaiOS , qui est l'OS pour téléphones sans écran tactile fondé sur Firefox OS et reposant sur #GNUlinux , mais qui comporte des services Google, envoie des données en arrière-plan à celui-ci ?

Does anybody know if #KaiOS (the mobile OS based upon Firefox OS and whose foundations are #GNULinux ), which contains Google services, automatically sends a bunch of data to Google like Android does ?

"Maple Linux" is a new #gnulinux distribution based on #Debian that advertises itself as being designed/maintained in #Canada as a move towards #digitalsovereignty

(I have not tried it, and don't yet know what they've done differently than standard Debian). But, if it encourages Canadians to shift off of US #bigtech operating systems then I think it's a good idea.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@itsfoss/116018939437877311

Is it just me, or has "It's FOSS" lost their way on the "FOSS" part? :tux:

I find it incredibly frustrating for FOSS resources normalizing the use of proprietary tools like Vivaldi and Chrome.

Looking at their recent "Better Linux User" graphic and half of the named options are proprietary (Chrome, Vivaldi). It feels like the brand is becoming a superficial site for Linux-lite rather than a resource for software freedom.

This is not the first time they have done this. Actually, they regularly post articles promoting proprietary tools. Here are a few I found just doing a quick search:

How to Install Opera Browser on Ubuntu: https://itsfoss.com/install-opera-ubuntu/

WPS Office: https://itsfoss.com/wps-office-linux

SoftMaker Office: https://itsfoss.com/softmaker-office/

InSync (Proprietary Google Drive client): https://itsfoss.com/insync-linux-review

How to Install Slack on Ubuntu: https://itsfoss.com/slack-use-linux/

How to Install Microsoft Edge Browser: https://itsfoss.com/microsoft-edge-linux/

They also promote the use of AI tools, like in these articles, which should have no home on the Fediverse:

Generate Linux Commands from English Text Using ChatGPT AI: https://itsfoss.com/linux-terminal-ai/

5 Open-source Local AI Tools for Image Generation: https://itsfoss.com/local-ai-image-tools

Also, that penguin art looks suspiciously like AI generation (I understand, I could be wrong about this). If you look at their recent social media and featured images, I think you can see the shift from human made graphics to AI-generated images with typical artifacts.

It is disappointing to see such a popular presence on the Fediverse prioritize clicks over principles.
