Linux might no longer support HFS/HFS+
The antique filesystems, HFS and HFS+, were used in old Macs going back to Septmber 17th, 1985, with the former being used first, then the latter. They also have alternative names, called Mac OS Standard and Mac OS Extended.
During development of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard released in August 28th, 2009, Apple decided to stop all support for read-write HFS and HFS+ filesystems, making users be unable to write to any file, but they still could read from such volumes. In macOS Catalina, Apple finally removed the filesystem support from the Darwin kernel, making it impossible to use disks that are still formatted with such filesystems.
We appear to have reached the end of support for the two antique filesystems in Linux, too, because, this year, the prominent Linux developer from Microsoft stated that, via Mastodon:
Let’s try and remove #hfs and #hfsplus by the end of 2025. They have been orphaned since 2014 and are turning into a maintenance burden.
If you’re still using those filesystems after the support ending period, there is a chance that you could use those filesystems again via user-space filesystems, except that you won’t have the same experience, including the lack of support of writing to files for HFS+.

#Linux 6.15-rc2 is now available for public testing at https://www.kernel.org and Linus Torvalds says that "things look fairly normal." Happy testing!

#Linux 6.14.2, 6.13.11, 6.12.23, 6.6.87, 6.1.134, 5.15.180, 5.10.236, and 5.4.292 kernels are now available for download at https://www.kernel.org
Out of curiosity:
Does anyone know how to check when #Linux distributions with #LinuxKernel live patching services (like RHEL, SLE, or Ubuntu) rolled out live patches for certain CVEs?
Asking, as I noticed that CISA recently added two known exploited #kernel vulnerabilities to its catalog[1] which upstream fixed more than three months ago[2, 3]. And that made me wonder when live patches for those went out.
