[$] An update on fanotify
In a filesystem-track session at the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, Amir Goldstein updated attendees on the fanotify filesystem-event monitoring subsystem. He wanted to describe changes that had come in the last year or so, as well as upcoming features and some remaining challenges in his efforts to use fanotify for hierarchical storage management (HSM). Fanotify is the user-space API for monitoring files, directories, and filesystems for events of various sorts (e.g. opening or deleting a file).
LibreOffice Weighs In on Euro-Office and EU Digital Sovereignty

LibreOffice slams Euro-Office as ‘de facto ally of Microsoft’
Euro-Office launches its stable 1.0 release on June 9, billed as a ‘truly open’ sovereign alternative to Microsoft Office – a claim riling The Document Foundation, makers of LibreOffice. In an open letter published today, TDF’s Italo Vignoli takes issue with the upstart productivity suite’s pitch. He disputes Euro-Office’s marketing, which he says positions it as the first open-source office suite developed in Europe. It’s historically inaccurate as OpenOffice.org got there in 2001, followed by LibreOffice from 2010. But he calls out another issue. The European Union is making a big push for digital sovereignty, cutting down on how much […]

rsync 3.4.4 released with regression fixes
Andrew Tridgell has announced the release of rsync 3.4.4 with fixes for the regressions introduced in the 3.4.3 release. He also notes there will be an rsync 3.5.0 soon, with many more security updates: As part of the 3.5.0 release update I have created a rsync-security@lists.samba.org mailing list for anyone who is willing to do testing of the 3.5.0 release. The idea is to try to reduce the chance of more regressions by expanding the set of testers of this release. I have seeded it with people who were involved in past rsync security issues. If you want to join this list then the easiest way would be for you to be vouched for by someone on the distros@vs.openwall.org list or someone else I already trust. My apologies for the regressions in the 3.4.3 release and I hope future security updates for rsync will have less issues. The greatly expanded test suite in rsync 3.5 combined with the rsync-security mailing list should help.
