The Verge: Google is killing software support for early Nest Thermostats. “Google has just announced that it’s ending software updates for the first-generation Nest Learning Thermostat, released in 2011, and the second-gen model that came a year later. This decision also affects the European Nest Learning Thermostat from 2014.”

Nitrocid 0.1.1 is no longer supported

We are announcing that the end of support for the first minor release after the 0.1.0 version, the 0.1.1 version that was released on July 23rd, 2024, has officially commenced as of today. It added new features, such as The Nitrocid Homepage, while improving existing features to make them more reliable.

The final mod API version for this version series was v3.0.26.60, and the final version of this release series was v0.1.1.36. Starting from today, we will no longer:

• provide further new versions under that version series
• provide support for users that continue to use this version series
• provide any security and features improvements across different components

In addition to that, the warning message will be displayed upon trying to start this version series up, reminding you of this series’ support. In Debian builds, you’ll be notified in the command line that you’re installing the version series that is no longer supported.

In order to continue getting new features and security updates, and to continue receiving support from us, please either use the latest LTS version, which is v0.1.0.x, or use the latest short-term supported version, such as v0.1.2.x.

Enable ESM in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS to Continue Getting Updates

Time is nearly up on support for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, with standard software, bug fix and security updates coming to an end on May 29, 2025. Users on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS should consider upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (or newer) if possible, but if unable should enable Extended Support Maintenance (ESM) as soon as possible in order to continue receiving critical security patches. ESM for Ubuntu provides “10 years of vulnerability management for critical, high and selected medium [security issues] for all software packages shipped with Ubuntu.” Enabling ESM is a bit of a no-brainer since it’s free for regular

MAID data shows no ‘slippery slope’

“As we approach a decade since #MedicalAidInDying legislation was first introduced in #Delaware, residents and lawmakers alike should be well versed on how this established #EndOfLife health care option works in the United States.

Sadly, we are still hearing arguments based on fear (at best) and lies (at worst), perpetuated in legislative hearings.”

Old Nitrocid PPA EOL Reminder

The old Nitrocid PPA (kernel-sim) has been officially marked as deprecated as of the 0.1.2.0 release on February 27th, 2025. The reason was that because we wanted to get rid of a PPA that hosted very old versions of Nitrocid KS, such as 0.0.15.8 for Groovy Gorilla uploaded on April 14th, 2021, and because the most recent versions that were released had libc6 issues on Jammy Jellyfish and older.

We have only added the deprecation notice to the old PPA mentioned above, but we’ve recently updated the notice. We will permanently disable the kernel-sim PPA starting July 1st, 2025, as we get closer to the second half of the year.

To disable the kernel-sim PPA and to enable the newer Nitrocid PPA, nitrocid, follow these steps:

1. Uninstalling all Nitrocid-related packages from the old PPA
   1. Open the terminal emulator
   2. Run sudo apt purge kernel-simulator
2. Replacing the kernel-sim PPA with the nitrocid PPA
   1. Run sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:eofla/kernel-sim
   2. Run sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eofla/nitrocid
3. Installing the newer Nitrocid packages
   1. Execute sudo apt update
   2. Follow the instructions by running sudo apt install nitrocid

Once you follow the above steps, you’re now using the new nitrocid PPA instead of the older one. If you failed to remove the kernel-sim PPA from your system before the abovementioned deadline, the apt update command will fail with error messages about said PPA.

Nitrocid 0.1.1 EOL Reminder

We are approaching the end of support for the first minor release after the 0.1.0 version, the 0.1.1 version that was released on July 23rd, 2024. It added new features, such as The Nitrocid Homepage, while improving existing features to make them more reliable.

The final mod API version for this version series is v3.0.26.60, and the final version of this release series is v0.1.1.36 that was released today to fix some small bugs.

The end of support date was assigned as April 23rd, 2025. This means that, starting from that day, we will no longer:

• provide further new versions under that version series
• provide support for users that continue to use this version series
• provide any security and features improvements across different components

In addition to that, the warning message will be displayed upon trying to start this version series up, reminding you of this series’ support. In Debian builds, you’ll be notified in the command line that you’re installing the version series that is no longer supported.

In order to continue getting new features and security updates, and to continue receiving support from us, please either use the latest LTS version, which is v0.1.0.x, or use the latest short-term supported version, such as v0.1.2.x.

In the upcoming service pack for v0.1.0.x, we’ll push all v0.1.1.x features to the long-term version series to make sure that further bugs in those features get fixed across releases.

Friend's mom's in hospice. Friend is concerned that mom is dehydrated, sleeping a lot, and not eating a lot. What to do?

Answer: ensure your loved one is a) clean; b) safe; c) comfortable. Don't worry about the rest, just ensure water and food are available when wanted.

Sleeping a lot while not eating or drinking a lot is called the "transitional phase" right before the active dying phase.

Here's a video (9 min, from a hospice nurse): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOLtcHtQZA4

Our Podcast on Medical Aid in Dying (MAID)

HB140, End of Life Options, just passed in the #Delaware House and now has to go before the Senate and get the Governor's signature.

Rather than changing minds, Dr Varipapa switches the conversation to the important ethical concept of patient autonomy and choice as well as the primary concepts of MAID. Dr Vest provides a counterpoint to MAID.

Those who oppose MAID have concerns about the ‘slippery slope’, something which has not been demonstrated in Oregon or the other 10 states that permit MAID.
