I’ve been asked a few times if it would be possible to use
virtnbdbackup as some kind of
“replication” utility, to keep cold standby virtual machines on other libvirt
hosts.
Usually i would tell to use underlying filesystem features (such as zfs
send/recv, with incremental snapshots) to keep cold, standby copies on other
hosts.
As for qcow based virtual machines, using the dirty bitmaps is not only a valid
feature to create backups, but to (incrementally) replicate virtual machines,
too.
I’ve released vmsync. A small golang utility
that implements a simple replication tool using the NBD protocol to sync
virtual machines to other hosts.
VIENNA, Austria – June 11, 2026 – Enterprise software developer Proxmox Server Solutions today announced the release of Proxmox Mail Gateway 9.1. The updated version of its enterprise email security solution introduces updated core components, comprehensive usability improvements to the spam quarantine, and data encryption options for integrated backups.
Proxmox Mail Gateway functions as a full-featured mail proxy deployed between the firewall and internal mail servers. It filters all incoming and outgoing email traffic at the gateway, protecting organizations against threats such as spam, viruses, Trojans, and phishing attacks.
Key Updates in Proxmox Mail Gateway 9.1
Updated core components
Built on Debian 13.5 “Trixie”, the platform includes updated underlying packages, utilizing a newer Linux kernel 7.0 as its stable default. Proxmox Mail Gateway 9.1 continues to align with the latest major enterprise open-source security components and incorporates stable versions of SpamAssassin 4.0.2 (with continuously updated rulesets), ClamAV 1.4.4, PostgreSQL 17, and ZFS 2.4.
Spam quarantine usability improvements
The web-based quarantine interface features several enhancements to optimize daily administrative and end-user workflows.
Shared mailboxes: Users can now mark quarantined emails within shared mailboxes as “seen”, preventing duplicate auditing efforts across teams. The status is displayed inline as a checkmark and can be toggled via an action button.
Granular spam scores: The quarantine overview now displays both the positive and negative components of the spam score simultaneously, providing immediate insight into why an email triggered filtering thresholds.
On-demand image loading: To enhance privacy and security, external images in quarantined emails can now be configured to load only on demand. Users can then choose to display images by clicking a “Load Images” button in the quarantine view. This ensures email content can be inspected safely without automatically compromising privacy or being exposed to web-based threats.
Copy Link Functionality: Administrators can now copy a recipient’s private quarantine access link directly from the admin dashboard using a new “Copy Link” option. This provides a secure and convenient way to share the link through any preferred channel or to integrate it in a custom interface.
Encrypted Proxmox Backup Server targets
Version 9.1 adds native encryption support for backups targeted at a Proxmox Backup Server instance. This option ensures that sensitive email configuration settings, user created rule system data, and historic/private statistics data are encrypted client-side before transmission and remain encrypted at rest on the backup storage target.
Availability
Proxmox Mail Gateway 9.1 is open-source software and immediately available for download. Users can obtain a complete installation image via ISO download, which contains the full feature-set of the solution and can be installed quickly on bare-metal systems using an intuitive installation wizard. The software can be installed on top of an existing Debian installation or as a lightweight Linux Container (LXC) on Proxmox VE. A seamless, fully tested upgrade path from Proxmox Mail Gateway 8.2 or 9.0 is available via the APT package management system.
For production environments, Proxmox offers comprehensive enterprise support plans that provide stable and secure updates and direct access to expert support services. These support contracts offer a cost-effective way to secure enterprise-grade stability. Pricing start at EUR 190 per host per year, including unlimited users and domains.

restore support for H264 packetization-mode 0 (#5846) (#5857) H264 streams with packetization-mode=0 cannot be routed with UDP since packets are too big. Inbound streams with packetization-mode=0 are blocked by the server since v1.19.0 but this caused compatibility issues with some cameras. The server is now able to receive such streams with TCP, and automatically remuxes them in streams with packetization-mode=1, which can be routed freely.

Some of you might have noticed that the recent (or rather: previous) version of libayatana-appindicator (v0.5.94) notified users and developers of the library being deprecated.
This short post is to notify you, that with today's libayatana-appindicator v0.6.0 release [1] this deprecation warning has now been removed again. Another new feature (added to AppIndicator without ABI breakage) is tooltip support. The new package version has just been uploaded to Debian experimental. Please test if your application (if it gets linked against libayatana-appindicator) continues to work flawlessly. Thanks!
libayatana-appindicator will receive continued support until GTK-3 becomes end-of-life (because libayatana-appindicator has a baked-in GTK-3 dependency which should not be ported to GTK-4 imho). That said, in the future, GTK-3 applications can continue using libayatana-appindicator for sending AppIndicator-like icons and menus over DBus to KStatusNotifierItem-based system tray renderers.
If you are looking for an AppIndicator implementation for GTK-4 applications (or other), I'd like to encourage you to help making libayatana-appindicator-glib [2] a new standard (can be used in GTK and Qt applications alike, implementation is using pure Glib-2.0). Currently, there is only one renderer (ayatana-indicator-application), so more work needs to be done on the renderers' side. (One of the next work items here is to get AppIndicator-Glib support working in Lomiri's desktop/windowed mode).
Breaking Change: Relicensed from BUSL-1.1 to MSCL-1.0-GPL (Monospace Sustainable Core License, Version 1.0).
Changed the default of IP_TRUST_PROXY from true to false to harden the default deployment against IP spoofing. (#27607)
The IP_TRUST_PROXY default was changed from true to false. If you run Directus behind a reverse proxy and rely on X-Forwarded-For (or similar) headers for client IP resolution, you must now explicitly set IP_TRUST_PROXY to true or a more specific trust configuration.
Fixed health check results not being shared in multi-instance settings. Restricted /server/health to authenticated users (#27160)
Health checks are cached by default and shared across multi-instance deployments
/server/health will return 404 for unauthenticated requests, use /server/ping for liveness checks
cache, rateLimiter and rateLimiterGlobal health checks have been replaced by a generic redis check using the redis: prefix
Introduced VERSION_KEY_ constants and renamed main to published @alvarosabu (#27397)*
Backward Compatibility: You can now use ?version=published to resolve versions of the main item(s) via the version query parameter. For backward compatibility, ?version=main will continue to work.
Replaced status field with archived boolean in collection settings @alvarosabu (#27397)
Backward Compatibility: Existing collections with string-based status fields continue to work unchanged; newly created collections now default to a boolean "Archived" field instead of the string "Status" field
Deprecation for extensions: The globally registered VResizeable component has been deprecated. Extension authors using <v-resizeable> should migrate to @directus/vue-split-panel or their own implementation.
Updated type system, borders, and theme variables @formfcw (#27437)
Potential breaking change for theme extensions: headerShadow and sidebarShadow removed from LayoutConfig interface
Potential breaking change for theme extensions: boxShadow removed from header theme rules schema
Potential breaking change for theme extensions: sidebarShadow no longer exposed in layout wrapper state
Updated module navigation bar spacing and styling @HZooly (#27437)
Potential breaking change in theme extensions: Removed navigation.project.borderColor / navigation.project.borderWidth / navigation.project.background from theming. No action is required — these props will simply no longer have any effect.
Locked published items in versioned collections from editing and added a header action button to edit in the draft version @alvarosabu (#27397)
Breaking change — new behavior for versioned collections Published items in versioned collections are now locked. Edits must be made through the draft version.
Removed rounded buttons and adopted shared header action button across all views @formfcw (#27437)
Potential breaking change for extensions: The rounded prop has been removed from v-button. Extensions using rounded will still render correctly but buttons will appear as rounded rectangles instead of circles. No functional impact.
Updated header and navigation bar base design and merged their theme properties into a new shell scope @formfcw (#27437)
Potential breaking change for theme extensions: The theme properties navigation.background, navigation.backgroundAccent, navigation.borderWidth, navigation.borderColor, header.background, header.borderWidth, and header.borderColor have been removed and replaced by shell.background, shell.backgroundAccent, shell.borderWidth, and shell.borderColor.
Potential breaking change for theme extensions: Custom themes overriding any of these removed properties must migrate to the new shell scope. The corresponding CSS variables change from --theme--navigation--background, --theme--navigation--background-accent, --theme--navigation--border-*, --theme--header--background, and --theme--header--border-* to --theme--shell--background, --theme--shell--background-accent, and --theme--shell--border-*.
Removed the extra confirmation step from the publish flow @alvarosabu (#27487)
Breaking change — new publish flow: Publishing a version no longer shows an additional confirmation dialog after confirming changes in the comparison modal. The item is published directly once the changes are confirmed.
Potential breaking change for theme extensions: Removed section.toggle.borderWidth / section.toggle.borderColor in favor of section-level border tokens. No action is required — these props will simply no longer have any effect.
Potential breaking change for theme extensions: Removed sidebarShadow and headerShadow from defineLayout(). No action is required — these props will simply no longer have any effect.
Refactored focus ring from border/box-shadow to outline @formfcw (#27437)
Potential breaking change for theme extensions: borderColorFocus, boxShadowHover, and boxShadowFocus are removed from the theme schema — custom themes referencing these will lose their focus overrides silently
Potential breaking change for interface extensions that relied on --theme--form--field--input--border-color-focus or --theme--form--field--input--box-shadow-focus CSS variables will need to migrate to --theme--form--field--input--focus-ring-color
Updated header bar elements and deprecated the headline slot @formfcw (#27437)
Deprecation for extensions: The headline slot on the private view header bar has been deprecated. Existing content keeps rendering, but consumers using <template #headline> will now see a deprecation hint from Volar.

I backported various security fixes from 10.3 to trixie, bookworm, bullseye, buster, and stretch. For trixie, I also backported several IPQoS fixes to line up with upstream’s traffic management settings and drop a rather hacky Debian-specific patch; this needed a quick follow-up fix.
Excited to get delivering in South Dakota? Then this blog is for you! Today, we're happy to share more of the custom depots you'll deliver to and from in our upcoming South Dakota DLC for American Truck Simulator. From busy agricultural industries to a large scrapyard, let's take a closer look at what our teams have been busy creating!
Unlike standard prefabs, these depots have been carefully assembled by our map designers using a variety of assets, giving each one a distinct look and feel. Many of them are based on real-world locations, which perhaps some of you might recognise if you live locally or visit South Dakota often.
Agriculture plays a major role in South Dakota’s economy, and players will find plenty of job contract opportunities from a range of farming industries across the state. One such location can be found near the city of Aberdeen, where you'll discover a large farm facility featuring numerous silos used for storing crops and seeds before they are shipped further afield. Set amongst the vast prairies and open spaces that define much of South Dakota's landscape, drivers will be treated to panoramic views and seemingly endless horizons as they travel between jobs. This is just one of the many farms that make up South Dakota’s number one industry.
The agriculture industry covers much more than just seeds and crops, however, and nearby the city of Mitchell, players will discover a custom farm livestock depot inspired by a real-life facility. You'll be sure to spot plenty of livestock roaming the nearby fields, as South Dakota famously has the highest cattle to people ratio in the U.S., with approximately 4 times as many cattle as people living in the state!
For those who enjoy heavy industry and rugged terrain, the Spearfish area will feature a large quarry-inspired depot nestled within the scenic Black Hills region. Hauling materials in and out of this site will require careful driving through winding roads and rough terrain, all while surrounded by impressive rocky landscapes and industrial machinery.
In the city of Lead, you’ll find the largest open pit in South Dakota. It is a closed gold mine and a clear visual dominant of the city. In the mine's underground, 4,850 feet deep, we can find a unique research laboratory. It is the deepest underground laboratory in the United States and it houses experiments connected to dark matter and neutrinos, which need to be conducted far below the Earth’s surface, shielded from cosmic radiation. This research facility also serves as an inspiration for one of our locations in the South Dakota DLC. Our players will be able to explore a part of the facility and experience the atmosphere of a place like this for themselves
Nearby Aberdeen, players will also come across a large scrapyard depot inspired by a real-life agricultural salvage facility. Spanning a huge area filled with rows of machinery, stacked equipment, scrap piles, containers, and industrial vehicles, this custom depot is based on a well known scrapyard business where people travel from across the region in search of spare parts, equipment, and older vehicles.
Grain transportation remains a key part of South Dakota’s economy, and nearby Mitchell, players can deliver to and from a large grain elevator situated amidst the surrounding countryside. Surrounded by open fields, this agricultural landmark captures the scenic character of South Dakota’s farming regions. Standing tall above the prairie, grain elevators like this serve as important hubs for storing and transporting crops throughout the Midwest, and are a familiar sight for truckers travelling America's backroads and highways alike.
We look forward to sharing even more from this upcoming DLC for American Truck Simulator in the future, right here on our blog. If you're excited to be haulin' in the Mount Rushmore State, be sure to add South Dakota to your Steam Wishlist, your support means a lot to us. Until next time, happy haulin’!
26.2 Pre-Release 6 (known as 26.2-pre-6 in the launcher) is the sixth pre-release for Java Edition 26.2, released on June 10, 2026.
Full changelog: https://minecraft.wiki/Java_Edition_26.2-pre-6
Volgens een artikel in de Financial Times is het WK voetbal altijd al een politiek instrument geweest: oprichter Jules Rimet wilde er na de loopgraven van de Eerste Wereldoorlog de wereldvrede mee bewerkstelligen, maar door een weeffout in de bekostiging zijn het inmiddels vooral despoten die het toernooi binnenhalen, met Trumps MAGA Cup als nieuwste hoofdstuk.
Tegelijk blijkt een stadion juist een van de weinige plekken waar dissent niet te onderdrukken valt, of het nu Catalanen onder Franco zijn, Italiaanse ballingen die Mussolini's elftal uitfloten of een Megatron in Madison Square Garden die Trump wegjoelt. De NOS draait dat soort boegeroep liever weg en neemt klakkeloos de gemanipuleerde FIFA-feed over, en dat is precies wat een publieke omroep in tijden van wantrouwen niet zou moeten doen.
Het boek How to Rule the World ontmaskert ondertussen het Stanford binnen Stanford, waar VC's al in eerstejaars investeren, feestjes alleen nog met sober monitors en een "I am on stolen land"-eed mogen, en de campuspresident sneuvelt op gefotoshopte onderzoeksresultaten.
Tussendoor een ode aan de sonische identiteiten van de FIFA, met San Francisco als onbetwiste favoriet.

The DistroWatch news feed is brought to you by TUXEDO COMPUTERS. The Alpine Linux development team has announced the release of Alpine Linux 3.24.0, a significant update of the project's independently-developed, general purpose Linux distribution designed primarily for power users: "We are pleased to announce the release of Alpine Linux 3.24.0, the first release in the 3.24 stable series.....
AI slop is invading the web. A recent story about disallowing LLM-generated
submissions on Lobsters triggered a lot of debate. My personal worst
offenders are LinkedIn articles with AI-generated images and uninspired
articles filled with emojis from people trying to masquerade as experts on a
subject they don’t care enough to write themselves. While I am unhappy about
this situation, I rely on LLMs for grammar, copyediting, and
translation. I don’t see this as a contradiction.
I am a native French speaker, but I blog in both English and French. When I
started writing this blog in 2011, I was composing in French and translating
to English, but I found it was better to work in the reverse order to
avoid unnatural and non-idiomatic constructions. One of my goals is to write
“good” English but I never felt it was my strong point.1 For example, verb
tenses are often an issue, even if I mostly stick with the present tense. I
learn the rules and forget them right away. I also don’t feel like hiring an
editor for something I see as a hobby.
I know that LLMs may alter the author’s voice when editing, but the
corrections in the second step are minor. The prompt asks to “apply light
stylistic edits,” with some guidance around avoiding passive voice, long
sentences, bland verbs, and filler words. It also defines the target audience:
technical with a B2 level in English.
In the following excerpt, I used “long time” instead of “long-standing.” The
former is missing a hyphen and applies to people—a long-time friend, while
the later relates to a situation—a long-standing agreement. I had a hard
time understanding the reason of the second change: the LLM prefers a
defining relative clause to provide the definition of “RIB sharding.”
As the Internet routing table contains more than 1 million routes, Akvorado
needs to scale to tens of millions of routes. This has been a long
time long-standing challenge, but I expect this issue is now
fixed by using RIB sharding, a method to split that
splits the routing database into several parts to enable concurrent
updates.
In the next modification, the LLM puts “device” instead of “equipment.” This is
correct as “equipment” is an uncountable noun. I know that, but I still fall
into this trap.
When Akvorado does not find a route from a specific device, it falls back to a
route sent by another equipment device.
I ask the LLM to use “descriptive verbs” and it complies by replacing a
multi-word predicate with a lexically rich verb:
The benchmarks demonstrate it has better performance than
outperforms other packages, both packages for
lookups, insertions, and memory usage.
It also fixes grammar errors. In the next excerpt, a “list of routes” is a
singular expression. Moreover, “stored” is a state and I should not use “into”
as it expresses a change.
The list of routes for each prefix are is not stored
directly into in the prefix tree.
As a last example, consider the following snippet. The “require” verb
accepts a noun or an object followed by a to-infinitive. I can’t use it with
just a to-infinitive.
An alternative would be to have one prefix tree for each peer but it would
require to configure configuring all routers to export
their routes.
As someone who didn’t grow up speaking English, I struggle with these grammar
rules despite reading a lot of English material.3 French is more
complex to get started but more systematic. English is full of irregularities.
On each page, I disclose in the footer whether an AI modified the content. There
are three levels:
🧠: no AI or almost no AI (e.g., grammar corrections)
✨: enhanced (e.g., copyediting)
🤖: generated (e.g., translated from another language, even if human-edited)
Hover or tap the icon to reveal the AI’s name and its role in the document.

The graph below shows which tool altered each post, year by year. Recently, I
applied the grammar skill to past articles. Since 2018,
French articles have been translated with the help of DeepL first, then of
an LLM. Since 2024, English articles are copyedited.

If you are strongly against any usage of LLMs specifically for writing, I hope
you accept my more nuanced position on the usage of these tools as a trade-off
to provide clearer and more engaging articles. Years of literature on improving
English told us it is important to choose the right word to keep the reader
engaged.
[…] Good writing consists of mastering the fundamentals (vocabulary,
grammar, the elements of style) and then filling the third level of your
toolbox with the right instruments.
― Stephen King, On Writing
Note
Unlike other recent articles, I did not use an LLM to edit this post:
an unnamed person kindly accepted to proofread it. I translated it to French
without using an LLM either.
I am quite happy with the writing tools provided by Kagi. Both the
translate tool and the dictionary are a valuable help to find
different wordings. I also lean on Kagi’s research assistant when
researching a topic. ↩
When I was ten, I played Monkey Island 2 in English without having
taken any classes. I used a dictionary to translate word by word and I found
the irregular verbs confusing—and not in the dictionary. ↩

We are excited to introduce the TourAmerica paint jobs for the Kenworth T680 2022 and W900 as free content in the upcoming 1.60 update for American Truck Simulator!
A few months ago, Kenworth unveiled a special-edition paint scheme as part of the Freedom 250 initiative, a nationwide effort commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States and celebrating the enduring spirit of American trucking.
Inspired by the iconic TourAmerica T600 paint scheme of the 1990s, this striking design combines red, white, and blue colors - a classic styling with contemporary finishes. We are happy to support the celebrations by bringing this beautiful paint job to American Truck Simulator, where it will be available for both the Kenworth W900 and Kenworth T680 2022.
Now, ATS drivers can join in the festivities as well and pay tribute to trucking heritage with a unique paint job that honors both a legendary design and a major milestone in American history.
These paint jobs are already available in the ongoing 1.60 Open Beta for American Truck Simulator. If you're taking part, be sure to give your Kenworth a fresh new look and hit the road in style!
