After only few months from Linux Kernel 6.12, Linus Torvalds announced today the release and general availability of Linux kernel 6.13, the latest stable version of the Linux kernel (available on kernel.org) that introduces several new features and improvements.
continue reading…It’s mostly some final driver fixes (gpu and networking dominating –
normal), with some doc updates too. And various little stuff all over.
The shortlog is appended for people who want to see the details (and,

With this, the merge window for 6.14 will obviously open tomorrow. I
already have two dozen pull requests pending – thank you, you know who

Veeam Backup & Replication 13, the next next major release, will be probably available in H2 2025 and most of the new features are already published and commented.

The reason, as Gostev commented in this post, is to don’t spread QA resources too thin as new OS versions come out. In addition, this simplifies the implementation of new features and enables to create more efficient and secure code. Finally, this improves overall platform security by disabling the ability to connect to outdated and long unpatched OS and applications.

Starting with ESXi 7.0 the partions layout has totally changed, compared to previous versions.
And also the disk requirements have changed… you cannot install anymore on a very small disk (less than 4 GB) and the minimum required size is 32 GB. A big change, considering that before was possible install ESXi with less than 1 GB!

The Veeam Managed Hardened Repository is a bootable ISO based on Rocky Linux 9.2 (Blue Onyx) distribution preconfigured by Veeam.
The idea is to dramatically simplify the provisioning experience and improve the security of the hardened repository, with a solutionpre-hardened out of the box with all advanced security settings already applied. This because immutability may be not enough if you configure your repository in a wrong way!
