Do you waddle the waddle?
Still powered by the long-term supported Linux 6.18 LTS kernel series, namely Linux 6.18.50, MocaccinoOS 26.09 improves Intel CPU/platform support, including for Raptor Lake systems, improves ASUS ROG/Armoury hardware support for asusctl, and adds optional x86-64-v3 optimized builds for improved performance on supported modern CPUs.
Coming more than a month after KDE Plasma 6.7.4, the KDE Plasma 6.7.5 release is here to improve the way HDR content looks when using an ICC profile, improve the Spectacle utility to be faster at taking screenshots, and update Discover only to offer to open and install DEB packages on distros that natively support it.
Coming about a month after GStreamer 1.28.6, the GStreamer 1.28.7 release is here to add support for building against OpenCV 5, add a missing API version suffix in the HIP support library filename, restore gap event sending in the MPEG-PS demuxer, and limit the number of remote sources being tracked in the rtprecv element.
I want to thank everyone who sent us donations; your generosity is greatly appreciated. I also want to thank all of you for your continued support by commenting, liking, sharing, and boosting the articles, following us on social media, and, last but not least, sending us feedback.
OpenVPN 2.7.7 is here to reduce the number of future keys from 16 to 4 when using EPOCH data channel format, leading to less log spam in userland and fewer resources used in in-kernel implementations. According to the devs, the previous calculation was wrong, and 4 spare keys are sufficient for 100+ Gbit/s links.
Shelly 3.1.3 is here to introduce a new button for removing all built AUR package archives and their matching signatures from Shelly’s cache, support for configuring environment variables for each installed AppImage package, and improved parallel downloads of packages and the repository database.
could not help but notice the wordings of Torvalds, as uttered in writing this past Sunday. This is not the first time he expresses (apprehensively, his boss is the Linux Foundation, bribed by the slop industry) concerns about Linux slipping out of developers’ control only to become a bloated pig that few people understand.
used to find it disturbing when some football clubs shared slop, especially in social control media, about their squad.
had a very productive day today, especially all the “fish tank” stuff. At one point we discussed the options available to us, then I left home just in time to reach the pet store at 9AM (when it opens). I spent a long time looking at all the animals and could see the people who ran the shop really love animals. One was hugging the lizard while cleaning its cage; the lizard would not let go when he came to the fish section to help and advise me. They also checked things on a computer system to give me expert advice when I asked questions.
think I won’t remember to check this again in 3 hours, but it’ll soon be 999 days and 9 hours, 9 minutes, 9 seconds since last reboot.

“The researchers were particularly interested in three psychological needs identified by self-determination theory: relatedness, or having meaningful relationships; competence, or feeling capable and effective; and autonomy, meaning that our actions feel voluntarily chosen rather than forced on us.” -“Not Money or Pleasure: Scientists Say They’ve Found The True Key to Happiness” (5 September 2026)

Instead of getting thanks and words of encouragement unpaid volunteers get scorn. In spite of years of DDOS attacks, however, the site turns 20 next month.
