The auditing subsystem of the Linux kernel tracks process creation and much more.

You can make it log those things by creating an auditd rule to do so. Or better yet, install Auditbeat (open source by Elastic) that hooks into the kernel and ships this data off-box as things happen.
Linux Host Telemetry: Sysmon and Kunai

A default Linux server records nothing about process creation. This guide covers Sysmon for Linux and Kunai, how to confirm what your build actually captures, and how to keep the volume manageable.

My partner needs to be in London for work (1) so we got it in our heads that we can just cycle there.

Because we can. Over two days, with a nap in the middle (on a boat). Should be fun, although I'm a bit concerned about the (lack of) cycling infrastructure in brexitland.

My day job is hiring. Specifically hiring help for me and the team I'm in.

Pros:
👍 It pays the bills

Conns:
👎 You'd have to work in Brussels 2 days per week (max 3 days remote per week)

Debatable:
🤔 I would be your close colleague

If people are tired of pro bike races like the Tour de France being decided even before it starts, maybe try following women's pro bike races, where the Tour de France Femmes has had a different winner each year since its launch. The race starts tomorrow!

1/x Good morning. Today we're going to talk about the largest explosion of the pre-nuclear era... and maritime pilots were involved. It's 1917. WWI is still in full swing... #maritimehistory

In one corner: the Dutch. World famous for squeezing everything out of the land they have, and large infrastructure works.

Other corner: Ireland. World famous for being good craic and having terrible infrastructure. Not even a train to the national airport.

There's more to learn here than solar.
Despite being a lot smaller than Ireland, the Netherlands has already deployed 15 times more solar PV capacity than us, with plans to quadruple this in the years ahead, as I discovered on a recent visit.

My report is in today’s @businesspost.bsky.social

Goose is not valued
Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars.

AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

mathieu forced to sit in a fucking aircoless 40c+ oven hotseat (literally this time lol) after doing one of his best time trials ever in the blistering and very humid outside heat and the UCI has the nerve to fine him after failing to supply cooling (w/ the org)

Wired has an article about all the ways Europe is moving away from US tech: www.wired.com/story/all-th...

They compiled a timeline of migrations so I opened it because I was curious.

Did not expect to see @freesewing.eu as the second entry on that list. Thanks for the shout-out Wired 😅

A WIRED timeline shows how dozens of governments, companies, and other organizations across Europe are moving, or planning to shift, away from US Big Tech.

Here it is, your Bluesky #Bike Content of the Day for Saturday, 6/6/26. Such a fascinating man. Also loved to play pick up hoops. Lost him way too soon -
While there are only a few photos of the musician Prince riding a bike, there are plenty of stories about how much he loved it (see 👇)

Happy #BicycleBirthday, Prince!

Since today is #WorldBicycleDay I wanted to give a shout-out to someone who has given me more goosebumps than anyone.

This kid has grown into my patron saint of bicycle joy. I love him so goddamn much 💜

KULeuven was founded in 1834 in Mechelen.

It moved to Leuven soon after, & has done a remarkably good job at convincing people that it is the same thing as the "Studium Generale Lovaniense" which was founded in the city in 1425 by the state, not the church.
