KERNEL RC3 CLOSES HARDWARE AND FILESYSTEM GAPS; OMARCHY 3.8.0 SHIPS WITH REMINDERS

Linux 7.1-rc3 lands critical fixes across hwmon, powerpc, and fsverity while Omarchy's new release adds reminder infrastructure and theme support.

The kernel merge window continues tightening with hardware monitoring fixes [1] addressing endianness bugs in the ads7871 driver and critical TOCTOU race conditions in the lm63 thermal sensor—the kind of low-level register bugs that corrupt sensor data in production. PowerPC maintainers landed a batch of interrupt mask corrections and KASAN sanitization fixes [2] that clean up the rc3 baseline. Fsverity closed a regression in overlayfs caused by an API semantic change [3]—a subtle gotcha for systems relying on file verification layering. On the Rust side [4], the pin-init crate got an unsoundness fix that prevented unsafely-created static references, a soundness fix you want before any Rust kernel code hits production. Staging drivers received two critical patches [5]: a device leak in vme_user and a NULL dereference in rtl8723bs that will crash on certain probe paths. Meanwhile, Omarchy 3.8.0 [6] shipped with reminder infrastructure via Super+Ctrl+R, live weather integration, and a new Solitude theme, marking the move toward defaults-first ergonomics.

Action items

→ Pull 7.1-rc3 hwmon fixes if running thermal sensors in production; ads7871 endianness bug affects 16-bit register reads torvalds/linux [plan]
→ If using rtl8723bs wireless, pull the NULL dereference fix before next probe cycle torvalds/linux [monitor]
→ Upgrade to Omarchy 3.8.0 if relying on reminder workflow; pull from main channel or 3.8.0-rc2 if testing first basecamp/omarchy [plan]
