Quoting: 14 Reasons Why You'll Love Fairphone's Audio Range - Fairphone —
For those of you who don’t know this already, Fairphone doesn’t just
make smartphones. It was in 2021 that we took our first steps into
the world of sustainable audio, releasing the Fairphone TWS earbuds.
And while they boasted a longer battery life than the competition and
used Fairtrade gold in the supply chain, they still featured an ‘off-
the-shelf’ design that wasn’t repairable. So we went back to the
drawing board and started tinkering the idea of making truly
sustainable audio products that were more in line with our design
philosophy. The result? The Fairbuds and the Fairbuds XL. They’re
both big on sound, and even bigger on impact. Here are 14 reasons why
you’ll fall in love with them.

* ⚓ [Repeat] Herman Õunapuu ☛ I'm_done_with_Ubuntu⠀⇛
Snaps auto-update by default. Great for security1, but horrible
for users who want to control what their personal computer is
doing.
Snaps get forced upon users as more and more system components
are forcibly switched from Debian-based packages to Snaps,
which breaks compatibility, functionality and introduces a lot
of new issues. You can upgrade your Ubuntu installation and
then discover that your browser is now contained within a Snap,
the desktop shortcut for it doesn’t work and your government ID
card does not work for logging in to your bank any longer.
Snaps also destroy productivity. A colleague was struggling to
get any work done because the desktop environment on their
Ubuntu installation was flashing certain UI elements, being
unresponsive and blocking them from doing any work. Apparently
the whole GNOME desktop environment is a Snap now, and that
lead to issues.

Quoting: Debian 13 to Feature GNOME 48 Desktop Environment —
Debian 13 “Trixie” is set to launch around mid-year, and the
developers have already shared the freeze schedule, which kicks off
in mid-March.
As expected, there’s a lot of anticipation surrounding this release,
given that the distro serves as the backbone for many others, shaping
their foundation for the next two years.
One of the biggest points of excitement is the desktop environment
versions that Debian 13 will include. And for GNOME fans, there’s
great news—Debian 13 will feature the latest GNOME 48, scheduled for
release on March 19th.
Jeremy Bicha, a Canonical Desktop Software Engineer and Debian
Developer shared the news in a post on the Ubuntu Discourse forums.

From 6th to 10th of September 2024, part of the
Kdenlive_Team_was_in_Germany to attend the annual
KDE convention Akademy and used that opportunity of
being together at the same location to have a
sprint. It was good to meet face to face and to sit
down and tackle some issues together. One of the
topic discussed was improving our communication
towards users, so here is a much needed update on
the status of our fundraiser! This post should have
been published a few months earlier but there were
so much things happening around Kdenlive that it
was hard to follow, so sorry for the delay!

With Windows 10’s support ending, it’s time to consider a
switch to a reliable alternative. Many users are on the
lookout for operating systems that offer strong
performance, security, and user-friendly interfaces. The
growing popularity of Linux-based distributions and
cloud-focused operating systems presents a variety of
options. For those considering a move, there are plenty
of solid choices available in 2025, making the transition
from Windows smoother than ever. These alternatives cater
to various needs, ensuring users can find an OS that fits
their workflow and hardware requirements.
[...]
Fedora stands out for users who prefer a cutting-edge
platform. Known for providing the latest technology, it
is an excellent platform for developers, offering an
abundance of developer tools and software. Fedora's focus
on security ensures a safe and highly customizable
experience. This open-source platform is always at the
forefront of new trends, regularly updating to include
the latest features. Fedora is the go-to OS for
developers and tech enthusiasts if you want to stay ahead
of the tech curve while enjoying a secure and versatile
environment.

Espressif ESP32-P4 application processor. The
Tanmatsu (Japanese for “Terminal”) is a compact
handheld device with a QWERTY keyboard and an
800×480 DSI display, and while it currently exists
at the final prototype stage there is a pre-order
page upon which you can reserve an early production
model for yourself. We’ve been lucky enough to be
invited to give one a close-up inspection, so it
was time to hot-foot it on the train to a Dutch
hackerspace in order to bring you a preview.

Compulab RoboDesigner is a new web-based tool and
service that allows you to design and or a custom
SBC using one of Compulab’s system-on-module within
about one hour instead of going through the more
lengthy process of designing a carrier board by
yourself. I’ve given it a try, and it’s really easy
to use even if you don’t have any engineering
skills.

Quoting: Don't Be Intimidated By Linux's Notorious GRUB Bootloader —
You may have heard about how difficult the GRUB Linux bootloader is
to install and configure. If that's holding you back from installing
Linux, you should know it's nothing to be scared of, if you have to
deal with it at all.
Despite GRUB's notorious reputation, I've installed it on almost all
of my Linux systems.
A bootloader sounds scary in theory. This is software where one wrong
move can turn your computer into an expensive desk ornament.
Fortunately, almost all major distros will handle the hard parts of
configuration for me. I don't have to edit or tweak anything. At the
very end of the installation process, most Linux distro installers
will have some kind of wizard that will even automatically detect
other OSes on the machine and install GRUB.

* ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_analyze_changes_to_enum_types_using_abidiff⠀⇛
It is required to have a stable application_binary_interface_
(ABI) when maintaining a stable shared library that is written
in C_or_C++ and shipped as part of a complex software stack.
Developers must comply with this requirement. When building a
newer version of a shared library, developers may try the
following approach:
* ⚓ Flathub_Blog:_On_the_Go:_Making_it_Easier_to_Find_GNU/Linux_Apps_for
Phones_&_Tablets⠀⇛
With apps made for different form factors, it can be hard to
find what works for your specific device. For example, we know
it can be a bit difficult to find great apps that are actually
designed to be used on a mobile phone or tablet. To help solve
this, we’re introducing a new collection: On the Go.
As the premier source of apps for Linux, Flathub serves a wide
range of people across a huge variety of hardware: from ultra
powerful developer workstations to thin and light tablets; from
handheld gaming consoles to a growing number of mobile phones.
Generally any app on Flathub will work on a desktop or laptop
with a large display, keyboard, and mouse or trackpad. However,
devices with only touch input and smaller screen sizes have
more constraints.
* ⚓ LWN ☛ Vendoring_Go_packages_by_default_in_Fedora⠀⇛
The Go language is designed to make it easy for developers to
import other Go packages and compile everything into a static
binary for simple distribution. Unfortunately, this complicates
things for those who package Go programs for Linux
distributions, such as Fedora, that have guidelines which
require dependencies to be packaged separately. Fedora's Go
special interest group (SIG) is asking for relief and a
loosening of the bundling guidelines to allow Go packagers to
bundle dependencies into the packages that need them, otherwise
known as vendoring. So far, the participants in the discussion
have seemed largely in favor of the idea.
Discussions about vendoring and distribution packaging are not
new nor unique to Go or Fedora. LWN has covered the overlap
between language and distribution package managers in 2017,
vendoring and packaging Kubernetes for Debian in 2020, a
discussion around iproute2 and libbpf vendoring also in 2020,
and another Debian conversation about vendoring in 2021—and
there's no doubt similar discussions have taken place in the
interim. It is a recurring topic because it remains an unsolved
problem and a perennial pain point for packagers for Linux
distributions that have policies that discourage bundling.

When I wrote the two programs to retrieve output from syslog
from my public server, the thing I did not do use was any AI
program (aka Cat) to help with the design nor the code. It was
a simple problem with a straightforward solution and it's sad
to think that more and more programmers are reaching for Cat
for even simple programs.
* § Events⠀➾
o ⚓ LWN ☛ FOSDEM_keynote_causes_concerns⠀⇛
This year's edition of the Free and Open Source Software
Developers' European Meeting (FOSDEM) begins on February
1 in Brussels. The event is widely regarded as one of the
most important open-source conferences. One of the
reasons that FOSDEM is held in high esteem by the
community is its non-commercial nature. It does accept
sponsors, but sponsorships come with few perks and no
"pay-for-play" speaking slots. Thus, the scheduling of a
keynote by Jack Dorsey—primarily known for his role in
co-founding Twitter, and currently CEO and chairman of
FOSDEM sponsor Block, Inc.—raised eyebrows and led to
plans for a protest. The keynote has since been removed
from the schedule, but there are still a number of
lingering questions.
* § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾
o ⚓ Geoffrey Copin ☛ Build_your_own_SQLite,_Part_4:_reading_tables

As we saw in the opening post, SQLite stores metadata
about tables in a special "schema table" starting on page
1. We've been reading records from this table to list the
tables in the current database, but before we can start
evaluating SQL queries against user-defined tables, we
need to extract more information from the schema table.

o ⚓ Simon Willison ☛ A_selfish_personal_argument_for_releasing_code

I’m the guest for the most recent episode of the Real
Python podcast with Christopher Bailey, talking about
Using LLMs for Python Development. We covered a lot of
other topics as well—most notably my relationship with
Open Source development over the years.
At 5m32s I presented what I think is the best version yet
of my selfish personal argument for why it makes sense to
default to releasing code as Open Source: [...]
* § Standards/Consortia⠀➾
o ⚓ Jussi Pakkanen ☛ The_trials_and_tribulations_of_supporting_CJK
text_in_PDF⠀⇛
In the past I may have spoken critically on Truetype
fonts and their usage in PDF files. Recently I have come
to the conclusion that it may have been too harsh and
that Truetype fonts are actually somewhat nice. Why?
Because I have had to add support for CFF fonts to
CapyPDF. This is a font format that comes from Adobe. It
encodes textual PostScript drawing operations into binary
bytecode. Wikipedia does not give dates, but it seems to
have been developed in the late 80s - early 90s. The name
CFF part is an abbeviation for "complicated font format".

While the most recent rumour of a Steam Console was complete
junk, it did get me thinking on what Valve would need to do to
make a Steam Console / Steam Machine actually successful.
* ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Hexagod_is_a_minimalist_roguelike_village_builder_from
the_dev_of_Chess_Survivors⠀⇛
Developer Aarimous is getting closer to releasing Hexagod, a
minimalist roguelike village builder where you place hexagon
tiles, manage resources, find relics, and command your
villagers. Made with Godot, this is their second game following
the clever Chess Survivors.
* ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Beholder:_Conductor_is_Papers,_Please_meets_the_Golden
Idol_series⠀⇛
The latest from Alawar is a spin-off from the previous Beholder
games. The first had you be a landlord in a totalitarian
country, the second had you work in their central ministry and
now this third game has you work as a train conductor.
* ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Heart_of_the_Machine_is_deep,_fascinating_and
engrossing_to_play_as_a_sentient_AI⠀⇛
Become a sentient AI in Heart of the Machine, the latest deep
strategy game from Arcen Games (AI War 1/2, The Last
Federation, Bionic Dues) and it's now in Early Access. I've
been running it on Desktop Linux (Kubuntu 24.10) with Proton
9.0-4 and it's been running very nicely. Note: key provided by
the publisher.
* ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Valve_now_warns_on_Steam_pages_if_an_Early_Access_game
hasn't_been_updated_in_a_long_time⠀⇛
Even though Early Access can be an incredible thing to allow
developers to build up their game with the community, and pull
in some early funds, it can also go very wrong. And now Valve
are making it a bit clearer for you if a game hasn't been
updated.
* ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ You_can_now_GoPro_with_your_Steam_Deck_and_mount_it_to
your_belly_-_or_wherever_you_want⠀⇛
Mechanism, who made the excellent Deckmate and Gaming Pillow,
said about their latest accessory kit the GoPro Mount that "No
one asked for this…" but they did it anyway, because why not it
actually sounds pretty useful.
* ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Fanatical's_Pedal_to_the_Metal_Bundle_has_some_gems_for

Got the need for some speed? Fanatical's Pedal to the Metal
Bundle has a bunch of good looking games to add to your
collection. It's a build your own bundle so you can get 3 +
Games for £2.00 each, 5 + Games for £1.80 each or 7 + Games for
£1.71 each.
* ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Flathub_adds_We_Love_Games_and_On_the_go_sections_plus

Flathub is carefully tweaking and expanding their Linux
software store, with two newer flashy sections included on it.
Plus, some details behind the scenes on what they're working
on.

The latest Humble Choice has been revealed. This is the monthly
selection of games you can subscribe to with Humble Bundle.
Here's the expected compatibility for Linux / Steam Deck.
* ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Epic_Games_devs_talk_about_solutions_to_the_Unreal

If you've played a game using Unreal Engine, or for that matter
any modern game engine, you've likely encountered various forms
of stuttering. One major issue is shader stuttering, as games
build up that cache and it seems Epic Games have a solution for
Unreal Engine.

Snaps. I hate them.
They sound great in theory, but the poor implementation and heavy-handed push
by Canonical has been a mess.
Snaps auto-update by default. Great for security1, but horrible for users who
want to control what their personal computer is doing.
Snaps get forced upon users as more and more system components are forcibly
switched from Debian-based packages to Snaps, which breaks compatibility,
functionality and introduces a lot of new issues. You can upgrade your Ubuntu
installation and then discover that your browser is now contained within a
Snap, the desktop shortcut for it doesn’t work and your government ID card does
not work for logging in to your bank any longer.
Snaps also destroy productivity. A colleague was struggling to get any work
done because the desktop environment on their Ubuntu installation was flashing
certain UI elements, being unresponsive and blocking them from doing any work.
Apparently the whole GNOME desktop environment is a Snap now, and that lead to
issues.

Software developer and prolific open-source influencer Herman

claiming it has lost its shine due to terrible updating

Ounapuu, who has been using the Ubuntu GNOME flavour since
2016, expressed his dissatisfaction with the operating system's
bi-annual long-term support releases.
“I was really happy with it, both for work and personal
computing needs. Estonian ID card software was also officially
supported on Ubuntu, which made Ubuntu a good choice for family
members,” Ounapuu said.

Coming almost a month after the KDE Gear 24.12.1 point release, KDE Gear
24.12.2 is here to fix a regression in the Dolphin file manager on X11 that
caused the keyboard focus to move to the Places or Terminal panels when Dolphin
was minimized and then unminimized.
KDE Gear 24.12.2 also updates the KDE Itinerary travel assistant with improved
travel document extractors for Bilkom and PKP PDF tickets, as well as support
for the new API from Deutsche Bahn for querying public transport information,
restored public transport data access to Digitransit in Finland and to Rolph in
Germany, improved travel document extractors for American Airlines, Brightline,
Southwest, and Koleo, improved ticket extractor for PKP, and public transport
data access from Entur in Norway.

Today, almost a month after its previous 24.12.1 release, KDE
has rolled out the latest version of its app collection, KDE
Gear 24.12.2, as the second update to the 24.12 series, focuses
on enhancing performance, resolving bugs, and improving user
experience.
I’ll start with Dolphin, KDE’s robust file manager, which has
received improvements in its forward action popup menu to keep
navigation clutter-free.
Furthermore, the icon overlay system was upgraded to pass in
the correct output size, addressing long-standing complaints
about blurry or misaligned overlays. Users should also notice
improved scaling on high DPI screens within the Information
Panel.

* ⚓ Tux Digital ☛ This_tiny_Linux_kernel_tweak_could_SAVE_30%_on_Power_Use
for_Datacenters!⠀⇛
Computer hardware is always getting faster and more powerful.
With each new generation we get more cores, more bandwidth, and
just… more power. The more powerful hardware gets the more
power hungry it gets, that is the case.
* ⚓ LWN ☛ The_first_part_of_the_6.14_merge_window⠀⇛
As of this writing, just over 4,300 non-merge changesets have
been pulled into the mainline repository for the 6.14 release.
Many of the pull requests this time around include remarks
saying that activity has been relatively low this time around,
presumably due to the holidays. So those 4,300 changesets are
probably closer to the merge-window halfway point than usual.
Much of the work merged thus far looks more like incremental
improvements than major new initiatives, but there still have
been a number of interesting changes in the mix.
* ⚓ LWN ☛ The_trouble_with_the_new_uretprobes⠀⇛
A "uretprobe" is a dynamic, user-space tracepoint injected by
the kernel into a running process; this document tersely
describes their use. Among other things, uretprobes are used by
the perf utility to time function calls. The 6.11 kernel saw a
significant change to uretprobes that improved their
performance, but that change is also creating trouble for some
users. The best way to solve the problem is not entirely clear.
Specifically, a uretprobe exists to gain information at the
return from a function in the process of interest. Older
kernels implemented uretprobes by injecting code that, on entry
to a function, changed the return address to a special
trampoline that, in turn, contained a breakpoint trap
instruction. When the target process executed that instruction,
it would trap back into the kernel, which would then extract
the information of interest (such as the function's return
value) and run any other attached code (a BPF program, perhaps)
before allowing the process to resume. This method worked, but
it also had a noticeable performance impact on the probed
process.
In an attempt to improve uretprobe performance, Jiri Olsa put
together a patch set that changed the implementation on x86
systems. The return trampoline still exists but, rather than
triggering a trap, it just calls the new uretprobe() system
call, which then takes care of all of the associated work.
Since system-call handling is faster than taking a trap, the
cost to the probed process is lower when uretprobe() is used.
This new system call takes no arguments, and it can only be
called from the kernel-injected special trampoline; otherwise
it will just deliver a SIGILL signal to the calling process.

enhancements.
Those seeking advanced security features will be pleased to
learn that LibreOffice 25.2 introduces new privacy functions
and, more specifically, the ability to remove all personal
information from a document, thus preventing unintentional
leaks of timestamps, editing data, and other personal details.
Apart from that, each main component of the office suite has
gotten its fair share of updates. Here are the most important

interoperability buffs to support cross-suite workflows.
It’s always important to remember that software like
LibreOffice doesn’t appear out of thing air; it’s made by
humans, many unpaid, others working on specific things.
LibreOffice 25.2 features 6 months worth of development in
total with 47 percent of code commits coming from devs employed
by ‘ecosystem companies’, 31% from devs at The Document

A challenge for enterprises that operate large-scale network
infrastructure has long been how to maintain performance while
updating critical systems. The Linux Foundation’s networking
division (LF Networking) is helping to address that challenge
with the L3AF project, which is based on eBPF (extended
Berkeley Packet Filter) technology.
With the new L3AF 2.1.0 update, the technology is gaining a
series of improvements including: enhanced observability
features, application container improvements, and expanded
network interface management functions.
“L3AF is an open-source project aimed at simplifying monitoring
and control networks of large-scale cloud applications,” Ranny
Haiby, CTO of networking, edge and access at the Linux
Foundation, told Network World. “Some of the main use cases for
L3AF are in traffic rate limiting, DDoS mitigation, traffic
quality monitoring and network observability.”

Quoting: Mabox Linux integrates Firefox 135 in the latest update alongside a
new kernel and more —
Hailing from Poland, Mabox Linux is back with version 25.02. The ISO
file is now 2.7 GB in size, and the list of changes is not very long,
but it includes the barely released Firefox 135, a new kernel, as
well as various updated packages, such as the Nvidia driver and Xorg
server.
The aforementioned Mabox Linux update is based on yesterday's Manjaro
stable release. All the details concerning the Manjaro base of Mabox
25.02 can be found on this page. Obviously, some packages present in
Manjaro are not included in Mabox. The list of such apps includes
Thunderbird, LibreOffice, or Steam. It should also be highlighted
that Manjaro stable only sports Firefox 134.0.2.

Quoting: Mixing Rust and C in Linux likened to cancer by maintainer —
Developers trying to add Rust code to the Linux kernel continue to
face opposition from kernel maintainers who believe using multiple
languages is an unwelcome and risky complication.
Concerns surfaced last September when Microsoft software engineer
Wedson Almeida Filho stepped away from the Rust for Linux project,
citing frustration with "nontechnical nonsense" – which is one way to
describe the difficulty of collaborating with those who have
different goals.

OpenWISP requires extra packages installed on your OpenWrt
firmware. The developers provide OpenWrt-based OpenWISP images
for ath79 hardware, and for other models, they provide
instructions to manually install packages with opkg. The web UI
can be installed on Debian 11/12 or Ubuntu 20.04/22.04/24.04
LTS through Ansible or Docker. You’ll find everything to get
started on the documentation website which looks rather
thorough. The source code can be found on GitHub.
But to have a quick feel of the interface, you don’t need to go
through the full installation process since there’s a demo
website. Upon logging in, we access a dashboard with monitoring
status, configuration status, geographic positioning (if
available/set), device models, traffic statistics, and much
more. That’s the first screenshot in this post.

iWave Systems says the STM32MP133/STM32MP135 OSM SBC supports
Linux 6.1.28 (or higher). The company provides some public
documentation accessible immediately after leaving your email
(brochure, datasheet, STEP file), but the Linux documentation
and SBC can only be accessed after talking to sales. There’s
also a short getting started guide available without any
registration showing how to boot a Yocto-build ST OpenSTLinux
image on the board.
Samples of the iW-RainboW-G54S with STM32MP135 SoC and 512MB
RAM can be purchased on Digikey for $268.42. At this price, it
will be mainly (only?) interesting as an evaluation platform
for the OSM Size S module. Additional information can be found
on the product page.

In our article, we describe how developing standards for

making potential benefit more clear (and hence facilitating
clear signalling of demand) as well as permitting interventions
such as: [...]
* ⚓ Arjen Wiersma ☛ Clojure_Projects⠀⇛
When I tell people that I like to code in Clojure the common
response is “wut?”. Clojure is not known as a programming
language in which you create big systems. As all Clojure people
know, this is not true. There are many systems written in
Clojure. Let me show you some that are very actively
maintained.
* ⚓ Yossi Kreinin ☛ Profiling_in_production_with_function_call_traces⠀⇛
To best use a tracing profiler, you need some adaptations to
your code and your workflow (as opposed to sampling profilers,
which “just work” with your code.) So to make a tracing
profiler, one needs people wishing to change their code &
workflow in order to use it. That said, as we’ll see, it’s
gotten fairly easy to develop a tracing profiler today, and
integrating it into your work is very doable as well – which I
hope might encourage people to both make and use tracing
profilers.
* ⚓ Tim Bornholdt ☛ Verifying_Secured_SendGrid_Event_Webhooks_in_Ruby_on
Rails⠀⇛
I spent the better part of a week smashing my head against this
problem, and I wanted to document it here so it might get
sucked up into the LLM vortex to help some other poor soul that
needs to validate SendGrid webhooks in a Rails app.
* ⚓ Sandor Dargo ☛ C++26:_erroneous_behaviour_|_Sandor_Dargo's_Blog⠀⇛
If you pick a random talk at a C++ conference these days, there
is a fair chance that the speaker will mention safety at least
a couple of times. It’s probably fine like that. The committee
and the community must think about improving both the safety
situation and the reputation of C++.
If you follow what’s going on in this space, you are probably
aware that different people see the question of safety in
different ways. I think almost everybody finds it important,
but they would solve the problem in different ways.
* § Python⠀➾
o ⚓ ID Root ☛ Stock_Price_Using_Python⠀⇛
In the fast-paced world of finance, understanding stock
prices is crucial for investors, analysts, and anyone
interested in the stock market. With the advent of
technology, analyzing stock prices has become more
accessible than ever, especially with programming
languages like Python.
* § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾
o ⚓ Julia Evans ☛ Some_terminal_frustrations⠀⇛
A few weeks ago I ran a terminal survey (you can read the
results here) and at the end I asked:
"What’s the most frustrating thing about using the
terminal for you?"
1600 people answered, and I decided to spend a few days
categorizing all the responses. Along the way I learned
that classifying qualitative data is not easy but I gave
it my best shot. I ended up building a custom tool to
make it faster to categorize everything.

Earthstar is a privacy-oriented, offline-first, LGPL-licensed
database intended to support distributed applications. Unlike
other distributed storage libraries, it focuses on providing
mutable data with human-meaningful names and modification
times, which gives it an interface similar to many non-
distributed key-value databases. Now, the developers are
looking at switching to a new synchronization protocol — one
that is general enough that it might see wider adoption.
* § Rust⠀➾
o ⚓ LWN ☛ The_Rust_2024_Edition_takes_shape⠀⇛
Last year, LWN examined the changes lined up for Rust's
2024 edition. Now, with the edition ready to be
stabilized in February, it's time to look back at the
edition process and see what was successfully adopted,
which new changes were added, and what still remains to
work on. A surprising amount of new work was proposed,
implemented, and stabilized during the year.
Editions are Rust's mechanism for ensuring stability in a
language that makes frequent, small releases, and which
is still evolving quickly. Each edition represents a
backward-compatibility guarantee: once the edition is
finalized, code that compiles on that edition will always
compile on that edition. The editions aren't totally
frozen — the language can still add new features, so long
as they're backward compatible — but the project takes
the commitment to backward compatibility seriously. New
releases of the compiler are tested against most of the
published Rust code on crates.io and the Rust-for-Linux
kernel code to ensure that they don't break code written
for old editions.

* ⚓ Security Week ☛ AMD_Patches_CPU_Vulnerability_That_Could_Break

AMD has released patches for a microprocessor vulnerability
found by Surveillance Giant Google that could allow an attacker
to load malicious microcode.
* § Windows TCO / Windows Bot Nets⠀➾
o ⚓ The Record ☛ Ransomware_payments_drop_for_first_time_in_years
following_law_enforcement_disruptions⠀⇛
The surprising and significant drop — down approximately
35% from $1.25 billion to $812.55 million — took place
almost entirely in the second half of the year, with the
first six months initially indicating 2024 would actually
be “the worst year on record,” as the company said at the
time.
o ⚓ Wired ☛ Despite_Catastrophic_[Breaches],_Ransomware_Payments
Dropped_Dramatically_Last_Year⠀⇛
For much of the past year, the trail of destruction and
mayhem left behind by ransomware [attackers] was on full
display. Digital extortion gangs paralyzed hundreds of US
pharmacies and clinics through their attack on Change
Healthcare, exploited security vulnerabilities in the
customer accounts of cloud provider Snowflake to breach a
string of high-profile targets, and extracted a record
$75 million from a single victim.

We have updated the ContactInfo field in the torrc
configuration of all our relays to align with the
proposed ContactInfo Information Sharing Specification.
This standard defines a structured format for describing
key attributes of a relay family operator. Ensuring
operators are reachable and that relays are associated
with trusted individuals or organizations is crucial for
the health of the Tor Network.
o ⚓ APNIC ☛ Let's_Encrypt_scales_rate_limits_to_prepare_for_a_billion
active_certificates⠀⇛
Let’s Encrypt protects a vast portion of the web by
providing TLS certificates to over 550 million websites —
a figure that has grown by 42% in the last year alone. We
currently issue over 340,000 certificates per hour. To
manage this immense traffic and maintain responsiveness
under high demand, our infrastructure relies on rate
limiting. In 2015, we introduced our first rate limiting
system, built on MariaDB. It evolved alongside our
rapidly growing service but eventually revealed its
limits — straining database servers, forcing long reset
times on subscribers, and slowing down every request.
We needed a solution built for the future — one that
could scale with demand, reduce the load on MariaDB, and
adapt to real-world subscriber request patterns. The
result was a new rate limiting system powered by Redis
and a proven virtual scheduling algorithm from the mid-
90s — efficient, scalable, and capable of handling over a
billion active certificates.

Tails 6.12 is here almost a month after Tails 6.11 to address several critical
security vulnerabilities that have been discovered and disclosed by a group of
security researchers from Radically Open Security, a non-profit computer
security consultancy company.
These flaws were discovered in Tails 6.11 and earlier versions and could allow
an attacker to monitor Tor circuits or change the Persistent Storage settings.
The Tor Project says that these vulnerabilities can only be exploited by a
powerful attacker who has already exploited another vulnerability to take
control of an application in Tails.

* ⚓ Tails_6.12_Rolls_Out,_Sealing_Critical_Security_Gaps⠀⇛
The Tails project announced the release of its privacy-focused
Linux distro, Tails 6.12, featuring vital security patches
alongside an array of functional updates.
According to the development team, several vulnerabilities were
discovered during an external security audit by Radically Open
Security. In light of this, perhaps the most noteworthy
highlights in Tails 6.12 are the fixes preventing attackers
from monitoring Tor circuits and altering Persistent Storage
settings. Here are some more details about it.

to disable IPv6, ensuring optimal network performance and
addressing specific configuration requirements.
* ⚓ Rlang ☛ Designing_monochrome_data_visualisations⠀⇛
First of all, let’s start with a definition of what we mean by
monochrome (or monochromatic). Creating a monochrome chart
essentially means only using different shades of one colour. In
most cases, this means different shades of grey (or black and
white) which, can also be termed greyscale. The examples in
this blog post will all be relating to creating charts using
only black, white, and grey. However, you should find some of
the advice useful if you ever need to make monochrome charts
with a different colour.
There are several different reasons why you might need to make
monochrome visualisations. A (frustratingly) common one is that
some academic publishers still require versions of plots to be
submitted in black and white. Another reason might be to
improve accessibility – if a plot is understandable in
greyscale, it’s much more likely to be colourblind-friendly. It
also has the added benefit of preserving the colour
representations in your charts for people who like to print out
documents (and save money by not using colour ink)!
* ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ The_practical_(Unix)_problems_with_.cache_and
its_friends⠀⇛
If you haven't noticed, there are an ever increasing number of
programs that will cache a bunch of data, sometimes a very
large amount of it, in various dot-directories in people's home
directories. If you're lucky, these programs put their cache
somewhere under ~/.cache; if you're semi-lucky, they use
~/.local, and if you're not lucky they invent their own
directory, like ~/.cargo (used by Rust's standard build tool
because it wants to be special). It's my view that this is a
mistake and that everyone should put their big caches in a
clearly visible directory or directory hierarchy, one that
people can actually find in practice.

Quoting: Tucana - Linux distribution built for customization - LinuxLinks —
Tucana, unlike many Linux From Scratch or other from scratch distros,
is binary based and has a fully fleshed out lib32 toolchain allowing
for Steam and wine to run natively.
The main selling point is the ease of customization and
redistribution. With Tucana you can host your own repos, have custom
patched packages and in the end bundle it up into a neat ISO that is
easy to distribute, or not do any of those
Essentially Tucana is a Build-Kit where you can share you
customizations with anyone who will look at them, think of it like a
mega version of your dotfiles but with the ability to customize and
build you own packages if you need a kernel patch, non-free software,
or if you want to build a purpose built distro like Minecraft OS.
Once you finish customizing your desktop, share it using the ISO
building tools. Customize the installer ’till your hearts content and
build it the way you want to build it.

* ⚓ Xuanwo ☛ Build_a_link_blog⠀⇛
I decided to follow simon's approach to creating a link blog,
where I can share interesting links I find on the internet
along with my own comments and thoughts about them.
I have been following Simon for a long time because of the
content he shares about AI. I often notice that he shares well-
written blog posts with direct links to the original sources,
along with his own thoughts on the topic, and sometimes even
his own code snippets. I think this is an excellent way to
share knowledge while also keeping a personal record. It’s much
better than simply saving something to Readwise to read later
and leaving a few highlights or dull comments like
"interesting."
* ⚓ Nathan Upchurch ☛ Building_a_Quiz_System_With_Eleventy⠀⇛
You might seen my recent toot about the fancy new “How Much of
a Linux Nerd are You?” quiz on my website. Some time ago, I
realized that I missed taking fun [Internet] quizzes and
decided to implement a quiz system on my own site that would
allow me to easily make fun quizzes to share. Here’s how I
built it with Eleventy.
* ⚓ Rob Knight ☛ Loading_Pixelfed_Photos_with_Eleventy⠀⇛
I'm no longer using Pixelfed so the code I used to pull in my
latest photos into Eleventy is redundant but it might be useful
to other people. For USER_ID, grab this by going to your
profile and it will be in the URL. Get an API_KEY from account
settings.
