Instalación básica de ArchLinux en Raspberry Pi 5
Vamos a instalar ArchLinux sobre la placa Raspberry Pi 5. Nótese que, a fecha de hoy, no existe aún una versión oficial de esta distribución para esta SBC, por lo que tendremos que generarla por nuestra cuenta.
Primeros pasos
Lo primero será preparar una tarjeta micro SD de un mínimo de 8GB de capacidad.
Para ello, usaremos fdisk, cfdisk o gparted para crear dos particiones primarias:
Con fdisk, para la unidad sdx sería de este modo:
# fdisk --wipe always /dev/sdx << EOF o n p 1 +512M t 0c n p 2 w EOF Formateamos ambas particiones y creamos sendos directorios sobre los que las montaremos.
# mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sdx1 # mkfs.ext4 -E lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0 -F /dev/sdx2 $ mkdir boot $ mkdir root # mount /dev/sdx1 boot # mount /dev/sdx2 root A continuación, bajaremos la última versión de ArchLinux para esta plataforma, que se encuentra disponible en la web de ArchLinux.
$ wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-rpi-4-latest.tar.gz Procederemos a la descompresión del archivo en root como superusuario:
# bsdtar -xpf ArchLinuxARM-rpi-aarch64-latest.tar.gz -C root Vaciamos buffers y eliminamos los archivos de boot.
# sync # rf -rf root/boot/* Descargamos en nuestro directorio local de trabajo el kernel y módulos de RPi.
$ curl -JLO http://mirror.archlinuxarm.org/aarch64/core/linux-rpi-6.18.22-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz $ tar xf * $ cp -rf boot/* ../boot Adaptando la configuración a nuestras necesidades
Sin desmontar aún las particiones, configuraremos las opciones de internacionalización del sistema. Para ello editaremos el archivo root/etc/locale.gen, descomentando las líneas pertenecientes al español: es_ES.UTF-8 UTF-8, es_ES ISO-8859-1 y es_ES@euro ISO-8859-15.
#es_EC.UTF-8 UTF-8 #es_EC ISO-8859-1 es_ES.UTF-8 UTF-8 es_ES ISO-8859-1 es_ES@euro ISO-8859-15 #es_GT.UTF-8 UTF-8 #es_GT ISO-8859-1
Creamos a continuación el archivo root/etc/locale.conf con el contenido siguiente:
LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
Para las siguientes operaciones, precisamos de trabajar directamente en nuestra Raspberry Pi, por lo que desmontaremos las particiones de la tarjeta de memoria.
# umount boot root Conectando con nuestra Raspberry Pi 5
Vamos a acceder vía ssh a nuestro dispositivo a través de la dirección anteriormente asignada. La contraseña por defecto es alarm, que podremos actualizar en cualquier momento mediante el comando passwd.
$ ssh alarm@192.168.1.3 Entramos a continuación como root, con clave root.
$ su root Ejecutaremos a continuación la orden locale-gen para que el sistema tome los nuevos valores de internacionalización.
# locale-gen También ajustaremos la zona horaria a la de la región donde nos encontremos:
# timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Madrid Como ya sabemos, ArchLinux es una distribución rolling-release, lo que significa que sus paquetes están en continua actualización. Usaremos pacman para actualizar el sistema previa inicialización y configuración del depósito de claves.
# pacman-key --init # pacman-key --populate archlinuxarm # pacman -R linux-aarch64 uboot-raspberrypi # pacman -Syu --overwrite "/boot/*" linux-rpi También se recomienda la instalación de paru para poder hacer uso de AUR.
Ahora disponemos de una Raspberry Pi 5 con una configuración mínima para empezar a jugar.
Pruebas de rendimiento
Usaremos 7zip para probar la potencia de esta placa.
# pacman -S 7zip $ 7z b -mmt=1 $ 7z b -mmt=2 $ 7z b -mmt=4 Se obtienen estos resultados.

A new Mac stealer targeting $10K+ crypto wallets
A sophisticated macOS stealer called notnullOSX emerged in March 2026, developed by threat actor alh1mik (formerly 0xFFF) who returned after a 2023 exit from underground forums. This Go-written modular stealer exclusively targets macOS users with cryptocurrency holdings exceeding $10,000. Distribution occurs through ClickFix social engineering and malicious DMG files disguised as legitimate applications like WallSpace. The malware employs a modular architecture with specialized components to exfiltrate iMessage history, Apple Notes, browser credentials, Safari cookies, crypto wallet files, SSH keys, and cloud provider credentials. By social-engineering victims into granting Full Disk Access, notnullOSX bypasses macOS TCC protections without triggering permission dialogs. The stealer maintains persistent WebSocket connections to Firebase infrastructure, functioning as both an infostealer and backdoor with remote module update capabilities.

World Bank Predicts Philippine Economic Growth Will Be 3.7% This Year
Recently the World Bank (WB) revised its 2026 economy growth for the Philippines forecasting gross domestic product (GDP) growth of only 3.7%, according to a news report by BusinessWorld.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the BusinessWorld news report. Some parts in boldface…
THE WORLD BANK slashed its growth forecast for the Philippines to 3.7% this year, well below the government’s target, as the war in the Middle East weighs on economic activity.
The World Bank on Wednesday said it sees Philippine gross domestic product (GDP) growth at 3.7% for 2026, significantly slower than the previous projection of 5.3%
If realized, it will also be slower than the post-pandemic low of 4.4% in 2025 and below the Philippine government’s 5-6% GDP target range for 2026.
“Our main projection is that overall growth in the East Asia and Pacific region is going to decline in 2026,” Aaditya Mattoo, director of research of the World Bank Group, said in an online briefing on the World Bank’s East Asia and Pacific Economic Update.
“Most countries in the region are going to see slower growth in 2026 than they have in 2025. That is our projection,” he added, citing the impact of the conflict in the Middle East as well as trade disruptions.
“The good news is we are likely to see a bounce back in 2027,” Mr. Mattoo said.
The World Bank raised its GDP growth projection for the Philippines to 5.6% in 2027 from 5.4% previously. It is within the government’s 5.5-6.5% target for 2027.
However, Mr. Mattoo said the Middle East war will have an impact on remittances in the East Asia and Pacific region, particularly the Philippines.
“Countries like the Philippines, which depend strongly on remittances, will see remittances from the Gulf… diminish,” he said.
Ergys Islamaj, a senior economist at the World Bank, said the Philippine economy is mainly exposed to the Middle East conflict through remittances as well as energy and fertilizer imports.
“Eighteen percent of remittances to the Philippines in 2025 came from the Gulf. Longer conflict will hurt the economy further,” he said.
In 2025, cash remittances soared to an all-time high of $35.634 billion, accounting for 7.3% of the country’s GDP. Remittances from Saudi Arabia accounted for 6.6% of the total, while the United Arab Emirates made up 4.6% and Qatar made up 2.9%.
The Philippines is a net importer of crude oil and sources most of its supply from the Middle East, making the country vulnerable to global crude price swings.
Mr. Mattoo said that global oil prices are expected to be as much as $20 higher even a year from now compared to the prices before the war broke out.
Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think the economy of the Philippines will grow slower this year? Do you think the Philippines is highly vulnerable as it depends on the Middle East for a great majority of its oil imports? Do you think the Philippines will eventually make new deals with Communist China and the Islamic terrorist regime of Iran for economic needs?

$10 Billion Financial Aid For Asian Nations Confirmed by Japanese Prime Minister
With many nations in Asia already struggling with the very expensive prices of fuel related to the conflicts in the Middle East, their respective economic struggles are only getting worse. That said, they are very fortunate to have Japan on their side as Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae officially announced that her government will provide them financial support worth $10 billion, according to a Kyodo News report.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of Kyodo News Some parts in boldface…
The Japanese government said Wednesday it will provide a total of $10 billion in financial support to other Asian nations to help them secure crude oil supplies as prices soar amid the Middle East conflict, aiming to ensure that petroleum-derived products made in those countries keep flowing into Japan.
The aid, announced by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi following an online meeting with her counterparts mainly from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, is aimed at beefing up energy supply chains across the region such as through loans for procuring crude oil and petroleum products as well as expansion of stockpiles.
“Japan is closely interconnected with each Asian country through supply chains and mutually dependent with them,” Takaichi told reporters, adding that oil shortages or supply disruptions in Asia could have a “significant negative impact” on her nation’s economy and society.
The planned financial aid is equivalent to up to 1.2 billion barrels — about one year of crude oil imports by ASEAN countries, she said.
Japan imports petroleum-derived products from Southeast Asia, including items used at medical facilities. Many countries in the region maintain limited oil reserves, so there have been concerns that supply shortages could eventually affect shipments to Japan.
The surge in oil prices on the back of the war that led to a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway for global energy transportation, has raised concerns in some Southeast Asian countries over their ability to pay for imports.
Tokyo aims to address the risks through financial support, including loans via the government-backed Japan Bank for International Cooperation, according to government sources.
The Japanese prime minister emphasized that the latest supportive scheme does not include direct crude oil provisions from Japan’s reserves and therefore will not negatively affect domestic supplies.
Given its high dependence on the Middle East for crude oil imports, Japan keeps abundant oil stockpiles in the country.
The other nations that joined the Japan-led, leaders-level virtual gathering were Australia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, East Timor, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam.
Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think the $10 billion assistance of Japan will be sufficient for the Asian nations for their oil and energy needs? Do you think the Islamic terrorist regime of Iran will eventually stop harming its neighbors now that American forces have blocked all the Iranian ports to allow other ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz safely? Do you think the ASEAN member nations have learned their lessons about depending excessively on the Middle East for importing oil?

Ma ktoś doświadczenie z którąś z nich? Co sadzicie o niezawodności, prywatności i ogólnym użytkowaniu?
Może macie jeszcze jakieś inne propozycje?
