Quoting: 5 must have Linux Mint desklets —
Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents:
Linux Mint offers a clean and reliable Windows-like desktop
experience—but for some users (like me), it can come off as a bit too
clean and minimal. Thankfully, we have desklets, Mint’s equivalent to
desktop widgets. Here are five of my personal favorite Linux Mint
desklets to make the desktop more aesthetic and productive at the
same time.

Quoting: 5 must have Linux Mint extensions —
Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents:
Linux Mint is a beautiful and efficient operating system that just
works out of the box. This is both a gift and a curse. It's a gift
because you don't have to tweak and optimize it. It's a curse because
you rarely think about tweaking and optimizing it—which is a shame
given there's a lot worth exploring. To help you get started, here
are five extensions that can instantly supercharge your desktop and
make you fall even more in love with Linux Mint.

Quoting: After 6 Years, One of Wayland’s Most Annoying Problems is Finally
Getting Fixed —
Basically, it's a set of rules that is used by your desktop
environment and applications for talking to each other for saving and
restoring the window state.
With this fresh new protocol, written natively for Wayland, the
concept of session management existed in the previous X11 display
server but it is finally coming to Wayland.
If you are curious, XDG stands for Cross Desktop Group. The X could
have been Xorg or X11 once upon a time. Actually, it's all under the
freedesktop.org organization that creates standards that work across
all desktop environments in Linux.

* ⚓ Wayland_is_getting_a_6-year-long_fix_for_its_most_annoying_quirk,_and
KDE_and_GNOME_are_already_implementing_it⠀⇛
If you've used a Wayland-based Linux operating system, you'll
know that windows that you close don't reappear where they were
when a session ends, such as after a crash or a logout. It's
been a long-standing problem, so much so that a fix for this
unwanted behavior has been under development for 6 years now.

The biggest new feature of the Archinstall 4.0 release is the TUI (text-based
user interface) as the devs moved from the previous curses-based interface to a
textual one based on the Textual framework, which should provide users with a
more modern Arch Linux installation experience.
You can use Archinstall 4.0 immediately with the current Arch Linux ISO
snapshot upon updating it using the sudo pacman -Sy archinstall command at the
terminal prompt. Check to see if you have version 4.0 with the archinstall -
v command.

It’s been more than six and a half years since the last stable Elive release
(version 3.0.6), but the project wasn’t dead. During this time, there were many
beta releases, all leading to today’s Elive 3.8.50 LTS stable release, which is
based on Debian GNU/Linux 12 “Bookworm”.
It is one of the very few remaining distros that still offer 32-bit support,
and the new Elive release even keeps up with the times by adding support for
the OpenRC init system during installation for users who don’t want to use the
controversial systemd init system.

Next Monday it's Easter and as early as Wednesday (~30 hours from now) it's the
day_we_must_be_extra_sceptical_of_news_online. Time passes time so fast. We're
almost in the fourth month of 2026 already. Not much time is left before it's
summery and warm.
News about GNU/Linux has been mostly but not overwhelmingly positive. The
platform continues to gain ground/adoption whereas GAFAM (Google Apple Facebook
Amazon Microsoft) lose ground.
The main challenge will be to keep GNU/Linux free (as in freedom). █

and reusable designs.
This is free and open source software.
* ⚓ Developer_of_the_Week:_Arun_Prakash_Jana_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛
Arun Prakash Jana, better known on GitHub as jarun, represents
a strain of open source development that feels increasingly
rare: software built not to impress a venture-funded roadmap,
but to remove friction from everyday computing. His GitHub
profile describes his mission plainly: he writes terminal
utilities, often with GUI integration, for efficient workflows,
and says he created them to “minimize time at a computer.” That
philosophy is visible across his body of work and explains why
his projects have attracted a loyal following. His profile
currently shows he has around 2.6k followers. His set of pinned
projects are led by nnn, buku, ddgr, bcal, spy, and imgp.
The centerpiece of his open source contribution is nnn, a
terminal file manager. It is not presented as a nostalgic toy
for command-line purists; it is described as a full-featured,
unorthodox, nearly zero-config, very fast file manager designed
to stay “out of your way.” Its feature set goes well beyond
basic navigation: disk usage analysis, batch rename,
application launching, file picking, plugin support, live
previews, and a patch framework for user-submitted
modifications. That combination matters because it shows Jana’s
main contribution is not just writing code, but designing a
complete workflow environment for people who live in the
terminal.
Luke wrote a review of nnn back in 2020 explaining why it’s an
awesome piece of open source software. In our roundup of the
finest graphical and console based file managers, nnn ranks as
the finest open source console-based file manager.

* ⚓ Bozhidar Batsov ☛ Batppuccin:_My_Take_on_Catppuccin_for_Emacs⠀⇛
Batppuccin is my opinionated take on Catppuccin for Emacs. The
name is a play on my last name (Batsov) + Catppuccin.2 I guess
you can think of this as @bbatsov’s Catppuccin… or perhaps
Batman’s Catppuccin?
* ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ The_Roles_of_Packages⠀⇛
Greg Wilson’s recent post An E-Bike for the Mind reminded me of
Jorma Sajaniemi’s work on the roles of variables. Sajaniemi
found that just eleven roles cover nearly all variables in
novice programs: stepper, most-wanted holder, gatherer, one-way
flag, and so on. As Wilson puts it, types tell you about a
variable’s state at rest while roles tell you about its state
in motion. Once you learn the roles, you can look at unfamiliar
code and immediately recognize the shape of the algorithm from
how data flows through it.
Every package in a registry plays a particular role, whether
it’s a library your application calls, a tool your build
pipeline runs, a daemon your infrastructure depends on, or a
firmware blob that makes your hardware work. This holds across
all kinds of package managers, from npm and RubyGems to
Homebrew, apt, Helm, Terraform Registry, and OpenVSX, and the
role tells you more about how a package fits into a system than
the name or the README. Two packages in completely different
domains, managed by completely different tools, can behave
identically because they play the same role.
* ⚓ OpenSSH ☛ Call_for_testing:_openssh-10.3⠀⇛
OpenSSH 10.3 is almost ready for release, so we would
appreciate testing on as many platforms and systems as
possible. This is a bugfix release.
* § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾
o ⚓ YottaDB ☛ r2.04_-_Our_Biggest_Release_Yet⠀⇛
Although it has been over a year since we released r2.02,
we have not been idle. Unlike Santa’s elves, who must be
ready in time for Christmas no matter what, r2.02 was
such a robust release that we had the luxury of taking
our time to get things into r2.04 that we wanted to. We
couldn’t get everything in – in the software world, there
is always something that has to be deferred – but we
believe r2.04 was worth the wait.
We originally intended r2.04 to focus on performance, and
it does. We blogged about critical section performance in
Critical Section Performance in r2.04. But performance
took on a life of its own, and we did so much more. Every
release adds functionality, and the major functionality
added in r2.04 is the ability to convert between M and
JSON. And, as with performance, there is so much more in
the release than that. You can read the draft release
notes and see the development details. With everything in
it, r2.04 is our biggest release yet, reminiscent of the
Antonov An-225 Mriya above, which at 253 metric tons had
the largest carrying capacity of any aircraft ever built.
* § Funding⠀➾
o ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ Cloud_Czars_Treat_Open_Source_Like_They_Do
California⠀⇛
The cloud czars gorged on free software, starved the
projects that sustain it, and are shocked the open source
commons is starting to break.
o ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ On_Our_Way_to_Independence:_We’re_$34_Away_from
Our_March_Goal⠀⇛
Our Independence Drive is at 17% of its total goal. A
final $34 this month will fully fund our mini-goal for
March's coverage of GNU/Linux and open source.
* § GNU Projects⠀➾
o ⚓ GNU ☛ parallel_@_Savannah:_GNU_Parallel_20260322_('این_آخرین

GNU Parallel 20260322 ('این آخرین نبرده،') has been

* § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾
o § Open Access/Content⠀➾
# ⚓ Futurism ☛ Wikipedia_Editors_Tried_and_Tried_to_Work_With
AI_Content,_Eventually_Realized_It_Was_Total_Trash_and_Banned
It_Entirely⠀⇛
That debate finally came to a vote on March 20,
which ended in an overwhelming 40-to-2 decision to
place heavy restrictions on how large language
models are used to maintain the site.
“Text generated by large language models (LLMs)
often violates several of Wikipedia’s core content
policies,” the new policy states. “For this reason,
the use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article
content is prohibited, save for the exceptions
given below.”
* § Standards/Consortia⠀➾
o ⚓ DomainTools ☛ Understanding_IPFS_and_Web3_Storage_Tech⠀⇛
IPFS (“InterPlanetary File System”) is a key technology
in the design and implementation of “Web3,” also known as
the “decentralized web.” IPFS is a distributed file
system that allows users to store and share files in a
peer-to-peer network. It uses a content-addressed storage
system, where each file is identified by a unique hash.
When a file is added to the IPFS network, it is
automatically distributed across nodes in the network,
and users can retrieve the file from any node that has a
copy. By design, IPFS is more resilient to censorship and
network failures than traditional centralized file
storage solutions.
o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Laser_Ranging_Makes_GPS_Satellites_More_Accurate⠀⇛
Although GNSS systems like GPS have made pin-pointing
locations on Earth’s sphere-approximating surface
significantly easier and more precise, it’s always
possible to go a bit further. The latest innovation
involves strapping laser retroreflector arrays (LRAs) to
newly launched GPS satellites, enabling ground-based
lasers to accurately determine the distance to these
satellites.
o ⚓ Herb Sutter ☛ C++26_is_done!_—_Trip_report:_March_2026_ISO_C++
standards_meeting_(London_Croydon,_UK)⠀⇛
On Saturday, the ISO C++ committee completed technical
work on C++26 in (partly) sunny London Croydon, UK. We
resolved the remaining international comments on the
C++26 draft, and are now producing the final document to
be sent out for its international approval ballot (Draft
International Standard, or DIS) and final editorial work,
to be published in the near future by ISO.

* ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ New_Steam_Games_Playable_on_the_Steam_Deck,_with_The
Scourge_and_Bombun_-_2026-03-28_Edition⠀⇛
Between 2026-03-21 and 2026-03-28 we selected 8 newly released
games that are rated as Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck,
and meeting specific criteria in terms of user ratings. Two
games to highlight this time, The Scourge, a spooky horror game
set in Vietnam, and Bombun, an excellent retro 3D platformer
with bombs! Here’s the whole list below.
* ⚓ The Arcade Blogger ☛ Williams_Sinistar_Arcade_Documentary⠀⇛
I’ve been meaning to share this documentary on the blog for
some time.
I met its creator, Max, a couple of times while visiting the
Freeplay Florida event a few years back. He mentioned that he
was playing around with the original source code from the
Williams arcade title Sinistar and hoping to add some features
that were visible in the source code, but excluded from the
game’s release. We chatted at length about what he was
planning, and his passion for this project was nothing short of
infectious.
I didn’t think too much about it, other than it sounded really
cool and interesting.
* ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ New_Steam_Games_with_Native_GNU/Linux_Builds,_including
Lost_Wiki:_Kozlovka_-_2026-03-25_Edition⠀⇛
Between 2026-03-18 and 2026-03-25 there were 78 New Steam games
released with Native GNU/Linux builds. For reference, during
the same time, there were 635 games released for backdoored
Windows on Steam, so the GNU/Linux versions represent about
12.3 % of total released titles. Not a lot of gems this time,
except maybe Lost Wiki: Kozlovka that lets you explore a
fictional wiki to unveil a mystery in Eastern Europe! Here’s a
quick pick of all of games worth considering this week.

GNOME 50 “Tokyo” was just released earlier this month, and while it has not yet
reached the stable software repositories of popular rolling-release
distributions like openSUSE Tumbleweed or Arch Linux, the GNOME devs have
started work on the GNOME 51 release.
Of course, it’s too early to discuss the new features or any major changes
coming to GNOME 51, and honestly, I don’t even expect any major enhancements
except for probably some more Wayland improvements since GNOME has now gone
Wayland-only with the GNOME 50 release onwards.

Quoting: I installed one Linux app I'd never heard of and it replaced three
tools —
For a while, I used three different document apps, and each has felt
invaluable. One scanned, one read PDFs, and the last annotated PDFs.
I didn't complain because it worked. But switching to GNOME Document
Scanner has made me realize that I've been overcomplicating things
for years.
It included many features I actually needed. Once I paired it with
Evince, it was clear that I had found a reliable document workflow.
Now I feel like I truly have the ultimate PDF solution.

* ⚓ Linux_7.0-rc6⠀⇛
It turns out that rc5 finally starting to calm things down this
release cycle was a mirage - with rc6 we're back to many more
fixes
than are normal for this time in the release.
It's not like anything in here looks particularly alarming, but
the
fact that the rc's this release has been pretty consistently
bigger
than normal doesn't exactly give me the warm and fuzzies.
And it's not because the merge window was particularly big: rc1
was in
fact pretty average in number of commits. It's just the rc's
that
have more small fixes than is the norm.
This time around, filesystems kind of stand out, with a
noticeable
portion of the diffstat being various filesystem or vfs fixes
(ext4
and xfs leading the pack, but it's really pretty widespread).
There are obviously the usual driver fixes too: gpu, rdma,
networking,
sound, hwmon etc, but in the diff, drivers are "only" a third
of the
changes. In addition to the filesystem side, we've got core
networking, architecture updates, and the rest being a random
mix (rcu
fixes, tooling, mm, you name it).
At the same time, while we have noticeably many more fixes than
usual,
most of it is very small and none of it strikes me as being
very
scary. A lot of pretty trivial - but real - fixes. I wonder if
some of
it is just AI tools being better - and we've hit some "bump"
related
to that.
Anyway, exactly because it's just "more than usual" rather than
feeling *worse* than usual, I don't currently feel this merits
extending the release, and I still hope that next weekend will
be the
last rc. But it's just a bit unnerving how this release doesn't
want
to calm down, so no promises.

ExLight⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧
posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 30, 2026
* ⚓ Parted_Magic_2026_03_20_Update⠀⇛
Development of the new Erase program was already well underway
when NIST published the SP 800-88r2 update in September 2025.
Over the past week, I’ve worked extensively to bring the
program into full compliance with the revised standards. These
changes are included in pmagic_2026_03_20_5.iso. If you’ve
already purchased the 2026_03_20 release, simply log into your
account to download the updated image at no additional cost.
Over time, Parted Magic had accumulated a number of programs
that most users never touched. This bloat had real consequences
— the default boot mode, which loads the entire image into RAM,
required 16GB to run reliably and made PXE deployment
impractical for many environments. That’s been addressed.
Unused and redundant packages have been removed, and the
compression scheme has been switched from xz to zstd with
optimized caching. The result is dramatic: Parted Magic now
boots comfortably in the default mode on machines with just 8GB
of RAM, and the time from the GRUB menu to a fully loaded
desktop is at least 10x faster.
I’d welcome more feedback on the new tools in this release.
VisParted, for example, represents a ground-up effort to
combine the best capabilities of GParted, KDE Partition
Manager, and Blivet-GUI into a single, unified partition
manager — along with features that no existing partition
manager offers. It’s one of the most capable tools of its kind
available today. Community testing has already proven valuable
— one forum member identified Samba mounting issues in the
Parted Magic Clonezilla frontend, which have since been
addressed. However, the new Erase program has received very
little attention so far. If you’re using any of these tools,
your feedback directly shapes development. Bug reports,
workflow observations, and even confirmation that things are
working as expected all help move the project forward.

Volos Projects recently showcased an easy-to-reproduce,
inexpensive DIY ESP32-S3 Internet radio based on a Waveshare
ESP32-S3-LCD-1.54 development board and an Arduino sketch with
a Winamp-styled user interface. As its name implies, the
hardware is based on the ESP32-S3 WiFi and Bluetooth SoC,
connected to a 1.54-inch 240×240 color display and a speaker
that delivers better-than-expected audio quality, according to
Volos Projects.

Pine64 has announced progress on the PineTime Pro smartwatch,
powered by a dual-core Cortex-M33 microcontroller with
Bluetooth 5.2 Classic and LE and 800KB SRAM. The watch also
features a 2.13-inch AMOLED display, GPS support, a heart rate
monitor, and a 6-axis motion sensor. It’s an upgrade to the
PineTime project unveiled in September 2019, and one of the
most popular Pine64 devices thanks to open-source software
projects such as InfiniTime firmware. For reference, the
PineTime ships with a Nordic nRF52 Arm Cortex-M4 Bluetooth MCU
with 64 KB SRAM, a 1.3-inch display, and basic HRM and
accelerometer. The PineTime Pro is a massive upgrade that
should support a wider range of firmware.
* ⚓ Pine64 ☛ Introduction_to_the_PineTime_Pro⠀⇛
Compared to the “OG” PineTime, the PineTime Pro brings a

At its core is a dual-core Cortex-M33 SoC, with one application
core running at up to 200 MHz and a dedicated Bluetooth core.
It also comes with 800 KB of internal SRAM and 8 MB of PSRAM.
Around that MCU, the hardware currently includes: [...]

Microcomputer⠀⇛
Moving data wasn’t as straightforward in 1978 as it is today.
While the Rockwell AIM 65 is a great machine, it has no disk
drive and no filesystem. Programs can be written in assembler
or BASIC (which had ROM support) but getting them into running
memory where they could execute is not as simple as it is on
modern machines. One can type a program in by hand, but no one
wants to do that twice.
Fortunately the AIM 65 had a tape interface (two, actually) and
could read and store data in an audio-encoded format. Rather
than typing a program by hand, one could play an audio tape
instead.
* ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Multicolor_5-Axis_3D_Printing⠀⇛
The print bed rests on three ball joints, two on one side and
one in the center of the opposite side. Each joint can be
raised and lowered on an independent rail, which allows the bed
to be tilted on two axes. The dimensions of the extruders’
motion system limit how much the bed can be angled when the
extruder is close to the bed, but it can reach sharp angles
further out.
* ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Clean_Enclosures,_No_Printing_Necessary⠀⇛
Unless you’re into circuit sculptures, generally speaking, a
working circuit isn’t the end-point of a lot of electronics
projects. To protect your new creation from grabby hands,
curious paws, and the ravages of nature, you’ll probably want
some kind of enclosure. These days a lot of us would probably
run it off on the 3D printer, but some people would rather stay
electronics hobbiests without getting into the 3D printing
hobby. For those people, [mircemk] shares how he creates
professonal-looking enclosures with handtools.

* ⚓ After_5_Years,_PineTime_Gets_a_Major_Upgrade_with_AMOLED,_GPS,_and

PINE64 has built a reputation for delivering open source
hardware to people who actually care about what runs on their
devices. From single-board computers like the ROCKPro64 and the
RISC-V powered STAR64 to Linux smartphones like the PinePhone,
the company has been pretty consistent.
One of their offerings is the PineTime, which is a compact,
inexpensive open source smartwatch that has been around since
2019. It started as a community side project, inspired partly
by the simplicity of the old Pebble, and is priced at around
$26.99.
Years later, PINE64 has revealed what comes next. Announced at
FOSDEM 2026 and detailed in a new blog post, the PineTime Pro
is the open source smartwatch's next step up.

computed at runtime. From math. Sine waves, noise
generators, filters, and envelopes, all the way down.
NumPy arrays are the synth engine.
And somehow, the results sound... real?

not that), but as someone who kept adding features to a
music theory library and accidentally ended up building
physical models of goatskin membranes in Python.

Consider the following problem. You have a large set of
strings, maybe millions. You need to map these strings to
8-byte integers (uint64). These integers are given to
you.
If you are working in Go, the standard solution is to
create a map. The construction is trivial, something like
the following loop.

Earlier this month, for the first time, a_bird_chose_to_sleep_near_us. It's
very rare. Birds don't sleep overnight on the sill.
Two months earlier we_fought_for_those_birds and nowadays our neighbours help
feed them (they say it "takes a village") because they fancy their presence and
we have_our_limits.
Some people protest ICC injustice to the best of their abilities (within
clearly defined but selectively enforced laws). Others protect or protest for
birds. Starting_today,_at_risk_to_their_career,_thousands_of_EPO_workers_start
a_very_long_strike.
We stand with the protesters. We need more people who protest.
Don't be boring. Don't be passive. Becoming more active is good for you. You
too can benefit from it. █

jails⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧

Quoting: DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD. —
About a month ago we shared that there is an effort underway to bring
jails, a popular isolation technology used by FreeBSD, to the NetBSD
operating system. This Jails for NetBSD project is not yet an
official part of NetBSD, but the implementation of jails has reached
a point where it can be run and tested.
A jail, for people who have not had a chance to use one, is an
isolated section of the filesystem which acts like a lightweight
virtual machine. The jail is like it's own, self-contained operating
system which has its own copies of programs, configuration files, and
user accounts. Any processes or services run inside the jail cannot
see or interact with the host operating system. A jail shares the
kernel of the host operating system, making it lighter than a virtual
machine, while offering most of the same benefits of running
processes in an isolated space.
A jail on FreeBSD or NetBSD is somewhat similar to running a
container on Linux. A jail offers similar benefits in terms of
security and portability, allowing programs and operating
environments to be ported between host machines.
I had some time this week and, as a fan of FreeBSD jails, wanted to
try out the new Jails for NetBSD tools. The Jails for NetBSD project
offers ISO files which are based on NetBSD 11 and include the new
jail utilities, saving us from manually installing the technology. I
downloaded the 621MB ISO file for x86_64 machines and set out to
explore jails on NetBSD.

Quoting: Sparky Linux 9 brings a rolling release to Debian —
When you think of rolling releases, Arch Linux is probably the first
distribution that comes to mind. There’s also openSUSE Tumbleweed,
Manjaro, Gentoo, Kali Linux, Solus, and Void Linux.
Those distributions are either Arch-based or independent.
You might also be surprised that there are Debian-based rolling
release distributions. That’s right, the “Mother of all
distributions” has inspired a few itself, which is a bit counter to
the ethos of a distribution that prides itself on rigorous testing
and a slower release cycle.
And yet, there are Debian-based rolling release distributions, such
as Sparky Linux.

Quoting: This hidden Linux feature makes Windows look embarrassing for
developers —
For years, we have watched Microsoft pour enormous resources into the
Windows Subsystem for Linux. It was positioned as the great
equalizer, the bridge that would finally make Windows a first-class
citizen for those of us who have long preferred Linux.
WSL is undeniably impressive. Having a Linux kernel running alongside
Windows with this level of integration is a feat of engineering. Yet,
there is a feature so fundamental to Linux, so deeply woven into its
architecture, that even the most sophisticated virtualization layers
cannot replicate its elegance.
It is not a flashy UI or a trendy framework but native, granular, and
transparent control over process resources through cgroups, exposed
via a simple filesystem interface. This capability is the foundation
of modern containerization, and it represents a level of systemic
transparency that makes the Windows approach to resource management
look not just different, but genuinely embarrassing by comparison.

* ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_WPS_Office_on_Fedora_Linux⠀⇛
DOCX-heavy work gets awkward fast when Fedora lacks the same
office suite your teammates use elsewhere. That makes it
practical to install WPS Office on Fedora when you want one
GNU/Linux desktop app for Word documents, spreadsheets, slide
decks, and PDFs instead of juggling format compatibility tool
by tool.
* § idroot⠀➾
o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Celluloid_Video_Player_on_Debian_13⠀⇛
Debian 13 “Trixie,” released on August 9, 2025, ships as
a lean, stable system without a fully capable multimedia
player pre-installed. If you want a modern, powerful
video player that feels right at home on a GNOME 48
desktop, Celluloid Video Player is one of the best
choices available.
o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_OpenTofu_on_Debian_13⠀⇛
Infrastructure as code has revolutionized how teams
manage cloud environments and on-premises infrastructure.
OpenTofu emerges as a game-changing infrastructure
automation tool that provides organizations with complete
control over their deployments.
o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_JupyterHub_on_Debian_13⠀⇛
If you manage a data science team, run a research lab, or
teach a coding class, you know the pain of setting up
Jupyter notebooks for every single user on a shared
server.
o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_PipeWire_on_openSUSE⠀⇛
If you are running openSUSE and dealing with crackling
Bluetooth audio, high latency, or random PulseAudio
crashes, you already know the frustration. The good news
is that PipeWire solves all of those problems in one
clean installation.
o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_KTorrent_on_Debian_13⠀⇛
If you need a reliable, full-featured BitTorrent client
on Debian 13 Trixie, KTorrent is one of the strongest
choices available. It sits natively inside the KDE
ecosystem, supports plugin extensions, handles encrypted
connections, and stays remarkably light on system
resources compared to other GUI clients.

Dotfiles_Using_GNU_Stow⠀⇛
* ⚓ Make Tech Easier ☛ 2026-03-17_[Older]_How_to_Manage_Users_from_the
Command_Line_in_Linux⠀⇛
* ⚓ DomainTools ☛ NMSG_and_JSON_encoding⠀⇛
This article introduces njt (amalgamation of NMSG+JSON+tool), a
newconvenience tool used for working with base:encode(JSON)
NMSGs at thecommand line. With this tool, the user has a
previously unavailablecommand-line interface to serialize
arbitrary JSON as NMSGbase:encode(JSON) protocol data units
(PDUs) or de-serializebase:encode(JSON) NMSG PDUs to JSON.
To get the most from this article, it is recommended that you
be comfortablewith the material from the following Farsight
Security Blog articles: [...]
* ⚓ Dan Langille ☛ Creating_a_FreeBSD_virtual_machine_using_bhyve-vm⠀⇛
I had a need for FreeBSD-16.0-CURRENT.
I’m already using sysutils/vm-bhyve (Management system for
bhyve virtual machines, relevant blog post).
These steps really are very short notes.
* ⚓ Amit Patel ☛ Optimizing_page_size⠀⇛
My XSLT template and CSS styling are global. They apply to the
more than 30 years of pages I’ve written. That means whenever I
change the XSLT or CSS, I need to make sure the change works
for the entire site, over 800 articles. Until now I’ve been
doing that manually by spot checking the popular articles.
While working on my SDF font guide, I noticed an issue with the
white space. There were some spaces missing. It’s easy to work
around, so I did — I added in a few places. This has been a
problem for a while and I just work around it each time. After
I finished the project, I decided to dig into the root cause.
* ⚓ [Old] Anya Shanahan ☛ sshd_9.8_PerSourcePenalties⠀⇛
How it works:
Every time you hit one of the events, your IP is penalized by
the quantity of seconds presented for the option in question,
so for example there is an option authfail. Every time you fail
to authenticate, your IP is applied with that number of seconds
as a penalty.
When that amount of penalty time exceeds min, then you have the
penalty applied to your IP address.

Ubuntu MATE is looking for a new maintainer, with current
project lead Martin Wimpress revealing he no longer has the
‘passion’ for the project he once had – nor the time, it seems.
Wimpress created Ubuntu MATE back in 2014, pairing Ubuntu with
the traditional MATE desktop, created as a fork of the old
GNOME 2 codebase but now very much its own thing.

After about a dozen years at the helm of the Linux distribution
he started, Martin Wimpress says it’s time for somebody else to
take charge at Ubuntu MATE.
He started the distro in October 2014. About three years
previously, in April 2011, GNOME 3 had been released, which had
been disliked by a large number of GNOME users. About two
months after that, Argentine developer Germán Perugorría forked
GNOME 2 to create MATE, which quickly became quite popular.
After that, Wimpress created Ubuntu MATE, which eventually
became an official Ubuntu flavor.

The maintainer of Ubuntu MATE, Martin Wimpress, has started the
search for new people to maintain the project after 12 years.
Wimpress, whom you may remember from the Ubuntu Podcast several
years ago, has said he now lacks time to work on Ubuntu MATE,
and even if he did have the time, he no longer has the passion
for the project that he had when he began the work.
For those that don’t know, Canonical maintains its standard
version of Ubuntu, and then community members maintain spins,
essentially working for free. Some of these spins are more
official than others, with Ubuntu MATE becoming an official
flavor in 2015. In 2016, it released its first long-term
support release.
When Canonical shifted to the Unity Desktop away from GNOME 2,
many people were not happy. Ubuntu MATE was born out of this
desire to be able to continue using GNOME 2 technologies and
continue their development. Obviously, computer hardware has
come a very long way in the last 12 years, making modern
iterations of GNOME easy to run. GNOME has also become much
more usable compared to the early days of GNOME 3, and there
are distributions like Linux Mint MATE that offer users a solid
choice of operating systems

Quoting: Ubuntu was my first distro—here's why we went our separate ways —
I was along for the ride in the development of the Ubuntu Netbook
Remix, which I ran on a netbook while at college. This would
eventually grow into the Unity desktop interface that would come to
define Ubuntu.
My opinion shifted a bit with 10.04 Lucid Lynx. This was my first
time watching the release of an Ubuntu LTS, and I didn't like the
cosmetic changes. I wasn't a fan of the new purple and orange color
scheme. I didn't dig the app theme that placed a divider awkwardly
between the application menu and the rest of the app window. I didn't
like the movement of the window buttons to the left. I remained
discouraged when the look was refined but largely the same in Ubuntu
10.10 Maverick Meerkat.

Quoting: Using FireWire On A Raspberry Pi Before Linux Drops Support —
Once the premium option for data transfers and remote control for
high-end audiovisual and other devices, FireWire (IEEE 1394) has been
dying a slow death ever since Apple and Sony switched over to USB.
Recently Apple correspondingly dropped support for it in MacOS 26,
and Linux will follow in 2029. The bright side of this when you’re
someone like [Jeff Geerling] is that this means three more years of
Linux support for one’s FireWire gear, including on the Raspberry Pi
with prosumer gear from 1999.
If you’re not concerned about running the latest and greatest – and
supported – software, then using an old or modern Mac or PC is of
course an option, but with Linux support still available [Jeff]
really wanted to get it working on Linux. Particularly on a Raspberry
Pi in order to stay on brand.
Adding a FireWire port to a Raspberry Pi SBC is easy enough with an
RPi 5 board as you can put a Mini PCIe HAT on it into which you slot
a mini PCIe to Firewire adapter. At this point lspci shows the new
device, but to use it you need to recompile the Linux kernel with
Firewire support. On the Raspberry Pi you then also need to enable it
in the device tree overlay, as shown in the article.

Like many people using Unix-like operating systems for the
first time, I was introduced to the concept of the pipeline.
Here's how a single character on the command line changed
everything.

Even though most Linux distros don't require as much time in
the terminal as they used to, eventually, it is going to come
up. If you're doing anything remotely, executing a long task,
or even just multitasking, the default tools may not be enough.
That is where tmux comes in.
