DistroWatch — Linux distro release news and a weekly newsletter. Also has a decent list of Linux/open source focused podcasts.
Slashdot — As old as the internet, has changed hands too many times to count and is run by idiots. However the community that visits/comments on the articles are top notch.
SoylentNews — A fork of Slashdot from early 2014 (the infamous "Slashdot Beta" era). Good, but much smaller community.

ArsTechnica — Decent writers on staff. Covers all things tech. Sometimes may be biased when talking about Linux, that's why it's called ArseTechnica sometimes.
Phoronix — Free and open-source software news, benchmarks, and more!
The Register — Important stories reported with a loose feel of attempted hipness. The security section is particularly fun. Verity Stob, a pseudonymous columnist, is amusing.
TorrentFreak — Focus on torrent and copyright issues. If your tracker is down, these guys will know why.
Wired — More consumerist than ArsTechnica and falling towards clickbait headlines and political correctness with declining tech content as of 2021. Good security section.
Armed and Dangerous — "Sex, software, politics, and firearms. Life's simple pleasures..." ESR's blog
N-O-D-E — Technical projects
