If you/your project is affected by DigitalOcean stopping their OSS credits program, please shoot me a DM immediately. Might be able to help. Boosts for visibility would be appreciated.

IT'S HAT WEEK ON THE FYRA SHOP! WE JUST DROPPED SIX HATS IN SO MANY COLORS!!! BUY OUR HATS!!!!!! (cat ears not included)

We are aware of California’s Digital Age Assurance Act. We’re in active conversation with our partners and legal experts about our obligations under this law, and how we can minimize the effects on the Linux ecosystem and our users 1/3

This law is poorly written, and potentially violates the dormant commerce clause, but could’ve been far worse. Fyra Labs opposes any legislation requiring ID verification for use of digital services, this law is not that, but sets the groundwork for expansion in the future 2/3

The web was designed as an open place, centralization around identity providers to comply with laws that do not understand the landscape is going to problematic as we keep moving forward. Call your representatives, tell them to talk to small tech too. 3/3

Here’s our semi-regular thank you to all of our sponsors! Maintaining Ultramarine and Terra is hard work. If you rely on Terra or use Ultramarine as a daily driver, please consider throwing a few dollars our way to help us stay independent and community funded. Links 🔽

We’re proud sponsors of Minnehack 2026! If you’re a college student in the Twin Cities come hang out with us this weekend! register at minnehack.com

We have a survey relating to servers, (self-)hosting, and infrastructure related to a potential future Fyra project. If you are currently self-hosting or use hosting/colocation services, we would appreciate it if you took some time to take it. Thanks! forms.gle/XeXmeEhE5JgM...

We’d like to shout out some of our favourite orgs serving the most vulnerable in our communities www.loavesandfishesmn.org keystoneservices.org We believe strongly in being a true neighbor. Our Twin Cities-based staff spends a lot of time volunteering in the communities we live and work in ❤️

With the recent events in Minneapolis, we would like to encourage anyone who has the disposable income, to please consider donating to these organisations who are giving free legal aid to Minnesotans. www.aclu-mn.org/ways-give/ nlgmn.org monarcamn.org

We are continually appalled by the actions of federal agents across the river. This series of raids, a murder, and now another shooting is horrifying. Our hearts are with our neighbors in Hawthorne and Central - Fyra Labs Twin Cities, Saint Paul, Minnesota

This evening, one adult male was shot by federal immigration enforcement agents in the 600 block of 24th Avenue North. He was transferred to a local hospital with apparent non-life-threatening injuries. We understand there is anger. We ask the public to remain calm.

ICE’s actions in Minneapolis this morning are abhorrent. ICE’s presence in the Twin Cities has done nothing but cause chaos and sew distrust, today’s shooting is a disgusting escalation. Our hearts are with our neighbors in South Minneapolis, there’s no such thing as an illegal person ❤️

City of Minneapolis@minneapolismn.gov

We are aware of a shooting involving a federal agent at 34th Street and Portland. We are working to confirm additional information, but what we know is that the presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city and making our community less safe.

We're having some technical issues with Terra’s main RPM repository and mirror director. Recovery is currently underway. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

We enabled graphical acceleration for our WSL users last week. You could run a game inside WINE inside Linux inside Windows if that's what gets you going. You can update WSL right now with `sudo dnf upgrade` or wait for us to land this in the Microsoft Store. Have fun!

The EU’s Chat Control proposal inches closer to a vote this week. From scanning your messages to requiring encryption backdoors, Chat Control is disastrous for the entire internet, even if you’re not in Europe. 1/2
