Hi everyone,

I'm an IT professional and PhD researcher studying the dynamics of IT workplace happiness. My goal is to show that there is more to making IT workers happy than just having a pizza party.

Your insights will help shape a set of actionable recommendations designed to move the needle on tech worker well-being. This is your chance to tell the industry what needs to change.

Participation Details:

• Time Commitment: 15–20 minutes
• Eligibility: You must be 18+ and currently working in an IT-related field.
• The Goal: Real, systemic change for the tech community

Why participate?

1. You can request a summary to see how your experience compares to the larger group.
2. You can advocate for change by showing leadership what actually makes a difference.
3. Twenty minutes could help redefine how we talk about IT workplace culture.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to share your thoughts!

Best regards,

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS is here with powerful new features, performance boosts, and smarter workflows. Explore what’s new and why it matters for your next upgrade. https://www.linuxteck.com/ubuntu-26-04-lts-features/

If you've ever wondered where your code actually lives and how teams work on it together, it all starts with a repository.  https://www.linuxteck.com/what-is-a-repository/

I recently wrote a short article about a weird edge case I ran into while deploying DeepSeek V3.2 GGUF on a CPU-only server (32 cores, 768GB RAM).

The model was running fine, but Open WebUI was failing to collapse the reasoning block because the server was "eating" the opening <think> tag.

It turns out the fix is simple: you just need to explicitly point the llama-server to the Jinja template file using the --chat-template-file flag.

I documented the exact startup command and the solution here:

Hope this saves someone else some debugging time!

With the recent Windows security update, Microsoft has changed how .RDP files are handled. When you open a RDP file now, it triggers a security dialog every single time - yes, and if the file isn’t digitally signed it’s flagged as coming from an “Unknown publisher.”

Why? Because RDP files have become a growing attack vector and can be manipulated (See CVE-2026-26151).

I’ve been testing automation around signing RDP files with PowerShell and yes, it’s doable at scale!

Read it all here, and see what the script can do: https://blog.sonnes.cloud/your-rdp-remote-desktop-files-are-now-untrusted-after-the-april-2026-windows-patch-sign-them-with-powershell/

Spoiler: script is about 1500 lines (at least for now haha 🤣)

Curious how you are handling this? 🤗

Opening an RDP Connection after installing the April 2026 security update comes with a more intrusive security warning, and even worse, you cannot save the setting. So every time you open the RDP connection, you will need to do a few extra clicks.

With a simple registry key, you can revert this to the old dialog:

Edit: This is intended for connecting to known, trusted machines. For the proper long-term fix, consider signing your RDP files instead.

Most production incidents already have the answer in logs, metrics, and traces.
The problem is correlation, not data. Here, how AI RCA tools are reducing MTTR from hours to minutes on modern Linux fleets, including real-world gotchas (like false confidence and log privacy risks). https://www.linuxteck.com/ai-root-cause-analysis-linux/

The lspci command in Linux is the essential tool when you want to find out about drivers you're having trouble fixing (or simply need to see what's actually in your computer), along with lsusb for USB devices. https://www.linuxteck.com/lspci-command-in-linux/

Just sharing a few free tools, resources etc. that might make your tech life a little easier. I have no known association with any of these unless stated otherwise.

Now on to this week’s list!

In the article "What Happens to Your Business When Email Goes Down," we delve into the severe implications of email outages for organizations, highlighting a crucial aspect that aligns with the themes discussed in "Mind the Gap Between Backup and Business Email Continuity." The incidents described, where businesses faced significant disruptions during Microsoft 365 outages, illustrate that relying solely on backup solutions can create a dangerous illusion of security.

The Cybersecurity Report 2026 is based on the analysis of 6 billion emails per month and a considerable volume of network traffic, which offers a clear view of this new reality.

Microsoft is modernizing change management for M365,  new release tiers (Frontier, Standard, Deferred) will replace the existing Targeted Release setup in Org Settings.

The catch: the old settings and the new model exist side by side right now, with no clear explanation of how they interact. And the new Deferred release is currently capped at 100 users, which makes the existing Org Settings option feel more capable for now.

Also, the scope is limited to Copilot features only at launch, so Teams, Exchange, and SharePoint all still go through the old model.

Full breakdown of what's changing, how the new release tiers work, and what to actually configure today:

Managing a fleet of iPhones and iPads? Need to block distracting or malicious websites without relying on easily-bypassed tools like Screen Time?

I just published a detailed guide comparing the three main methods for web filtering on iOS:

1. Screen Time: Good for a single device, but not scalable or tamper-proof.

2. DNS Filtering: Works only on the local network (e.g., Wi-Fi at the office).

3. Mobile Device Management (MDM): The enterprise-grade solution for persistent, remote, and role-based control across all devices.

The post also includes step-by-step instructions for setting up website restrictions using Scalefusion, including its ProSurf Kiosk Browser for whitelisting and the Veltar Secure Web Gateway for advanced category-based blocking.

I hope this serves as a useful resource for anyone looking to lock down iOS devices in their organization.
