Clonezilla Live 3.1.1 Bumps Kernel to Linux 6.5, Adds Many Disk Cloning Improvements

Clonezilla Live 3.1.1 is here more than six months after Clonezilla Live 3.1.0, and it’s powered by a new kernel, namely Linux 6.5.8, which is a significant upgrade from the Linux 6.1.25 used in the previous release, despite the fact that Linux 6.1 is a long-term supported series. As expected, Linux 6.5 will bring better support for newer hardware where previous Clonezilla Live releases failed to work correctly.

Chamberlain v. Home Assistant

The developers of Home Assistant, which has recently been covered here, have announced
that they will be removing support for Chamberlain and Liftmaster
garage-door openers after being locked out by the company.

Because we cannot continue to work around Chamberlain Group if they
keep blocking access to third parties, the MyQ integration will be
removed from Home Assistant in the upcoming 2023.12 release on
December 6, 2023. We are very disappointed that it has come to this
and sincerely hope that Chamberlain Group is willing to reconsider
its position.

Longtime readers may remember that Chamberlain tried to use the DMCA to block the use of
third-party remotes nearly 20 years ago.

Canonical reveals more details about Ubuntu Core Desktop (Register)

The Register attended
a talk
about Ubuntu’s upcoming Core Desktop immutable distribution.

We suspect that Core Desktop might yet be the tool that validates
Canonical’s Snap format and helps to overcome some of the
resistance it faces. Snap’s single-file distribution format is
simple and enables transactional installation – including,
critically, rollback – without a fancy filesystem underneath, or
elaborate distribution methods such as libostree.
