At @igalia we are looking for a system administrator.

If you have experience maintaining Linux systems and want to join a worker-owned, free software consultancy we would like to hear from you.

Feel free to spread the word!

Note that this position requires proximity to our headquarters in Galicia, Spain.

Last weekend I had the pleasure to meet Alex Gonzalez, who wrote what is believed to be the first commercial computer game ever developed in Galicia, in 1986 for the MSX computer.

The game had little impact and 1986 was already relatively late, but as far as I'm aware there wasn't really much else until well into the 90s, so it has historical significance.

But it's also a hint of the kind of industry that we had here. This is the land where we had to sow our seeds.

This is big: one of the xz-utils / liblzma *upstream maintainers* added malicious code to the last couple of releases. This is the person who actually publishes and signs the tarballs. If you are using liblzma 5.6.0 or 5.6.1 make sure to update your packages asap and consider reinstalling the OS or recreating the container.

If you ever wanted to try SerenityOS or the Ladybird browser but never had the time to build it from source, you can check out today's VM image from the QEMU advent calendar
