The isenkram system I started on back in 2013 now consist of two subsystems, one locating firmware files using the information provided by apt-file, and one matching hardware to packages using information provided by AppStream. The former is very similar to the mechanism implemented in debian-installer to pick the right firmware packages to install. This post is about the latter system. Thanks to steady progress and good help from both other Debian and upstream developers, I am happy to report that the Isenkram system now are able to recommend 121 packages using information provided via AppStream. The mapping is done using modalias information provided by the kernel, the same information used by udev when creating device files, and the kernel when deciding which kernel modules to load. To get all the modalias identifiers relevant for your machine, you can run the following command on the command line...

Martin Owens, a dedicated developer, has been working tirelessly to bring this feature to life, and I think it's essential that his work gets the support it needs. For former Adobe Illustrator (or Corel Draw) users, you know how crucial CMYK support is for print design, especially in vector. It's a feature that has kept many creatives captive to proprietary software, despite the desire to switch to free and libre alternatives. I personally suffered from this when, around 2005, I took a client to a printer and they refused to print the logo I designed because it was an RGB SVG file. That was humiliating for me as a young freelancer. Martin's work aims to change this, and I couldn't be more enthusiastic about it.

The main difference between the two boards is that the PICO2-XL includes 2MB of external QSPI Flash and a compact flat-bottom design, making it ideal for simpler, space-constrained projects. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_PDA_From_An_ESP32⠀⇛ The ESP32 series of microcontrollers have been with us for quite a few years now and appeared in both Tensilica and RISC- V variants, both of which deliver an inexpensive and powerful device. It’s thus shown up in quite a few handheld computers, whether they be conference badges or standalone devices, and this is definitely a field in which these chips have more to give. We’re pleased then to see this e-ink PDA from [ashtf8], which we think raises the bar on this type of device. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ HackCable:_USB-C_Keystroke_Injection_Cable_with_RP2040 or_ESP32⠀⇛ Kickstarter recently featured the HackCable, a USB-C cable designed for cybersecurity research and system testing. It resembles a standard charging cable but includes features like built-in Wi-Fi and keystroke injection, providing a discreet and versatile tool for professionals and researchers. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ M.2_CAN_FD_adapter_adds_CAN_Bus_support_to_hosts_with_a spare_M.2_Key-B_socket⠀⇛ Designed by Universal Machine Intelligence, the M.2 CAN FD adapter is an M.2 to CAN FD converter board that brings two high-speed CAN FD interfaces to projects requiring reliable high-speed communication. It is an M.2 B-key card with a slim form factor and a breakaway design that supports slot lengths like 2242, 2252, 2260, and 2280. The adapter supports CAN FD and CAN 2.0B protocols with speeds up to 5Mbit/s and includes functional isolation between the host and CAN bus for additional safety. Additional features include a built-in network termination switch with split termination, ultra-low power consumption, and compatibility with 12V, 24V, and 48V systems. * ⚓ Ken Shirriff ☛ Reverse-engineering_a_carry-lookahead_adder_in_the Pentium⠀⇛ Addition is harder than you'd expect, at least for a computer. Computers use multiple types of adder circuits with different tradeoffs of size versus speed. In this article, I reverse- engineer an 8-bit adder in the Pentium's floating point unit. This adder turns out to be a carry-lookahead adder, in particular, a type known as "Kogge-Stone."1 In this article, I'll explain how a carry-lookahead adder works and I'll show how the Pentium implemented it. Warning: lots of Boolean logic ahead. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ The_Swervebot_is_an_omnidirectional_robot_that_combines_LEGO and_3D-printed_parts⠀⇛ The base mechanism of a co-axial swerve drive robot is a swerve module that uses one axle + motor to spin the wheel and another axle + motor to turn it. When combined with several other swerve modules in a single chassis, the Swervebot is able to perform very complex maneuvers such as spinning while moving in a particular direction. For each of these modules, a pair of DC motors were mounted into custom, LEGO-compatible enclosures and attached to a series of gears for transferring their motion into the wheels. Once assembled into a 2×2 layout, Le moved onto the next steps of wiring and programming the robot. * § Games/Steam Deck⠀➾ o ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ GE-Proton_9-23_released_with_a_Battle.net_update fix_for_Linux_/_Steam_Deck⠀⇛ GE-Proton 9-23 is out now as the latest update for the community-maintained version of Valve's Proton that pulls in lots of quick-fixes for Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck. Confused on all the Proton versions? Go and read my guide explainer. o ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Raspberry_Pi_4_brings_the_Raspberry_Pi_stream deck_to_life⠀⇛ All sorts of stream decks are available on the market today, but where's the fun buying something you could create from scratch? At least, that seems to be the spirit of the Raspberry Pi maker community, as shown in projects like this one, which was created by maker and developer Last-Shake-9874. Using our favorite SBC, he's made a Raspberry Pi stream deck from scratch. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 508 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/19/Kodi_21_2_Omega_Release.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/19/Kodi_21_2_Omega_Release.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Kodi 21.2 "Omega" - Release⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 19, 2025, updated Jan 19, 2025 Major user-facing changes include: [...] Read_on Update Also here: * ⚓ Kodi_21.2_is_Out!_Significantly_Faster_Library_Scan_&_Lots_of_Fixes⠀⇛ Kodi, the popular free open-source home theater software, released new 21.2 version today with many improvements and tons of bug-fixes.

But it had one big bug that took me a day to track down. One reason I find the bug interesting is that it exemplifies the sort of challenges that come up in systems programming. The essence of systems programming is that your program is dealing with the state of a complex world, with many independent agents it can't control, all changing things around. Often one can write a program that puts down a wrench and then picks it up again without looking. In systems programming, the program may have to be prepared for the possibility that someone else has come along and moved the wrench. The other reason the bug is interesting is that although it was a big bug, fixing it required only a tiny change. I often struggle to communicate to nonprogrammers just how finicky and fussy programming is. Nonprogrammers, even people who have taken a programming class or two, are used to being harassed by crappy UIs (or by the compiler) about missing punctuation marks and trivially malformed inputs, and they think they understand how fussy programming is. But they usually do not. The issue is much deeper, and I think this is a great example that will help communicate the point. * ⚓ [Old] Dmitrii Kovanikov ☛ Pragmatic_Category_Theory_|_Part_1:_Semigroup Intro⠀⇛ I’ve been using pure FP in production for 10 years. I programmed in Haskell, OCaml, Elm and PureScript. I’ve solved real-world problems in diverse industries, such as healthcare, dating, fintech and blockchain. In my short (but eventful) career, I benefited a lot from foundational abstractions that took root in abstract algebra and category theory. I experienced first-hand the value of these concepts. This is good stuff, folks! I want to demystify these concepts. * ⚓ [Old] Dmitrii Kovanikov ☛ Pragmatic_Category_Theory_|_Part_2:_Composing Semigroups⠀⇛ You’ll notice the following Functional Programming pattern many times: 1. You define trivial fundamental blocks. 2. You define trivial ways to compose blocks. 3. Suddenly, you end up with something extremely powerful. I don’t know how it works but it works every time. Trust the process. Thus, it’s important to develop the skill of noticing a particular pattern in diverse situations. We need to pump that Tetris Effect of yours. * ⚓ [Old] Dmitrii Kovanikov ☛ Pragmatic_Category_Theory_|_Part_3: Associativity⠀⇛ We’ve looked mostly on trivial semigroup examples but before exploring more advanced and real-life use cases, I’d like to spend more time on exploring why associativity matters. We’ll see how this single concept enables: 1. Correctness 2. Extensibility 3. Performance * ⚓ Concurrency Freaks ☛ Concurrency_Freaks:_Can_Transactions_and Coroutines_co-exist?⠀⇛ The other day, I was daydreaming about what the "perfect language" for concurrency would look like, and one of the design options I was considering, was how useful were coroutines, and can they coexist with transactions? Spoiler alert: the answer is an almost certainly no. There is usefulness in the transactional model and in the coroutine model. Transactions are a nice way to solve problems which need to share data across different execution contexts, while coroutines are a way to reduce latency for problems which are naturally asynchronous, and perhaps a way to increase scalability for fully disjoint-access-parallel problems, such as sessions on a web server, though I would argue this scalability stems from the "task" where the coroutine runs, and not the usage of the coroutines by themselves. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Kushal_Das:_Dealing_with_egl_bad_alloc_error_for_webkit⠀⇛ I was trying out some Toga examples, and for the webview I kept getting the following error and a blank screen. Could not create EGL surfaceless context: EGL_BAD_ALLOC. After many hours of searching I reduced the reproducer to a simple Python Gtk code. o ⚓ [Old] Serghei Iakovlev ☛ Advanced_Python_Development_Workflow_in Emacs⠀⇛ Emacs is not just an editor — it’s an extensible platform for crafting highly personalized development environments. With tools like company, yasnippet, lsp- mode and dap-mode, Emacs transforms into a feature-rich Python IDE capable of competing with PyCharm or VS Code. This guide explores how to evolve Emacs into a robust Python IDE. Whether you’re writing simple scripts or managing large-scale projects, you’ll find a setup that aligns with your engineering needs and reflects the power of Emacs customization. * § Java⠀➾ o ⚓ Security Week ☛ Google_Releases_Open_Source_Library_for_Software Composition_Analysis⠀⇛ Released as an open source Go library, the tool is an extensible file system scanner designed to extract information on software inventory and identify vulnerabilities. OSV-SCALIBR can either be used as a standalone binary (a wrapper around the library), or can be imported into Go projects as a library. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 925 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/19/Salix_Slackware_based_Linux_distribution.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/19/Salix_Slackware_based_Linux_distribution.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Salix – Slackware-based Linux distribution⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jan 19, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Salix⦈_ Quoting: Salix - Slackware-based Linux distribution - LinuxLinks — Salix is a Linux distribution based on Slackware that is simple, fast and easy to use, with stability being a primary goal.

It can't be that difficult if it's already working for millions of users. The popular OpenSSH remote-administration tool rolled out post-quantum crypto in 2022. Google rolled out post- quantum crypto for its internal communications later the same year. Cloudflare, which hosts a considerable fraction of the Internet's web sites, reports that 33% of its connections are using post-quantum crypto as of January 2025. I'll take a moment here to advertise some of my own work with various collaborators. If you're using Linux as a sysadmin or on the desktop, try our new easy-to-install PQConnect tool, which wraps end-to-end post-quantum cryptography around unmodified applications. If you're a developer, try out the simple API for libmceliece and libntruprime. * § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ o ⚓ The Verge ☛ Microsoft_stops_using_Bing_to_trick_people_into thinking_they’re_on_Google⠀⇛ Microsoft has quietly killed off its spoofed Google UI that it was using to trick Bing users into thinking they were using Google. Earlier this month you could search for “Google” on Bing and get a page that looked a lot like Google, complete with a special search bar, an image resembling a Google Doodle, and even some small text under the search bar just like Google search. * § Windows TCO / Windows Bot Nets⠀➾ o ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Chinese_hackers_infiltrated_US_Treasury Secretary's_PC_—_attackers_had_access_to_over_400_PCs⠀⇛ The perpetrators reportedly accessed files belonging to Secretary Janet Yellen and other high-ranking officials. Over 400 computers and over 3,000 unclassified files were compromised, exposing sensitive information related to sanctions, law enforcement, and international affairs. The scale of compromised systems and files far exceeds initial reports. o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Biden_signs_11th-hour_cybersecurity_executive order⠀⇛ This latest presidential mandate follows a year of unprecedented attacks by Chinese government spies who have been spotted lurking in federal and telecommunications networks and burrowing into critical infrastructure to prep for future destructive cyberattacks. Additionally, ransomware criminals disrupted thousands of pharmacies and hospitals across the US and stole sensitive information belonging to around 100 million people after locking up Change Healthcare's systems in February. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1095 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/19/Test_AlmaLinux_10_Beta_With_Your_Workload_Using_ELevate.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/19/Test_AlmaLinux_10_Beta_With_Your_Workload_Using_ELevate.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Test AlmaLinux 10 Beta With Your Workload Using ELevate⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jan 19, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇ELevate_conversion_paths_before_the_addition_of_AlmaLinux_10 beta⦈_ Quoting: Test AlmaLinux 10 Beta With Your Workload Using ELevate - FOSS Force — Although we’re still months away from the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, which is expected to ship sometime around the middle of the year, there’s already a beta version RHEL 10, which was released in December. There’s also a beta version of AlmaLinux 10 — the distribution that’s almost but not quite a clone of RHEL — which was also released back in December. On Tuesday we learned in a blog from Yuriy Kohut, an ELevate project engineer at CloudLinux — the company behind AlmaLinux — that ELevate now offers an easy upgrade path to 10 beta, which could be useful for organizations who want to prepare for an upcoming migration now, so that when D-Day arrives all potential issues will be known. If you don’t know, ELevate is a useful tool for easy in-place migration from one version of a RHEL clone to another that CloudLinux developed at about the same time as it was releasing the first version of AlmaLinux. It’s based on Leapp, software developed by Red Hat for migrating its users to new RHEL releases.

Now let's jump right into Your Source for GNU/Linux GNews. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Volker Krause ☛ Going_to_FOSDEM_2025⠀⇛ Barely back from 38C3 preparations for another huge event started, FOSDEM_2025, taking place in two weeks in Brussels, Belgium. § KDE KDE will be there with a big team again, with the KDE stand being in building AW this year, on the ground floor. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Kevin_Fenzi:_Bits_from_mid_jan_2025⠀⇛ Hello again, here's some longer form doings and thoughts from from mid january 2025 in and around fedora. o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Petter_Reinholdtsen:_What_is_the_most_supported_MIME_type in_Debian_in_2025?⠀⇛ Seven twelve years ago, I measured what the most supported MIME type in Debian was, first by analysing the desktop files in all packages in the archive, then by analysing the DEP-11 AppStream data set. I guess it is time to repeat the measurement, only for unstable as last time: [...] * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ # ⚓ [Old] The New Stack ☛ PostgreSQL_17_Gets_Incremental Backup,_SQL_Queries_for_JSON⠀⇛ The latest version of the open source PostgreSQL relational database system was released today, and with it comes a number of improvements geared to make high-end users and developers happy. PostgreSQL gets updated quarterly with bug fixes and assorted other patches, but around this time of the year — in the September/October timeframe — comes the major release with the new major features, and this year is no different. “I find this particular release really compelling, compared to the last several,” enthused Tom Kincaid, vice president of database development at PostgreSQL support provider EnterpriseDB, or EDB, in an interview with The New Stack. The chief reason? Incremental backup. It’s a game- changer, he said. o § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ # ⚓ Bob Monsour ☛ Blog_Questions_Challenge⠀⇛ As you can see from the first blog post on this particular blog, I'm coming up on just 3 years of blogging here. This is the first time that I have blogged in any manner that you could call consistently. It all started at that time when I discovered Eleventy, the static site generator. I was quite excited to find it and thought that it would be a good way to start writing about something that interested me. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1809 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/19/Wasting_time_with_inconsistent_data.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/19/Wasting_time_with_inconsistent_data.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Wasting time with inconsistent data⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jan 19, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇The_ledger_on_the_left_shows_the_state_before_and_the_one_on the_right_after_the_download⦈_ Quoting: Wasting time with inconsistent data – bembel.net — One of my leisure time activities is to develop KMyMoney, a personal finance management application. Most of my time is spent on development, testing, bug reproduction and fixing, user support and sometimes I even write some documentation for this application. And of course, I use it myself on a more or less daily basis. One of the nice KMyMoney features that helps me a lot is the online transaction download. It’s cool, if you simply fire up your computer in the morning, start KMyMoney, select the “Account/Update all” function, fill in the passwords to your bank and Paypal accounts when asked (though also that is mostly automated using a local GPG protected password store) and see the data coming in. After about a minute I have an overview what happened in the last 24 hours on my accounts. No paper statement needed, so one could say, heavily digitalized. At this point, many thanks go out to the author of AqBanking which does all the heavy work dealing with bank’s protocols under the hood. But a picture is worth a thousand words. See for yourself how this looks like...

The judge (they're called "Masters") could see what was truly going on. To be very clear, reporting facts isn't illegal. Showing public posts of public figures isn't illegal. It's essential in a democratic society. We're not even talking about a private and discreet person. This is a person who uploads much of his life to the open Internet. Heck, he's even naming all the medications that he's taking! What kind of privacy proponent gives away to the general public all his symptoms by saying out loud his prescriptions? Software Freedom-centric people would never take any serious security advice from one who foolishly unloads his own medical record to the open Net/Web, revealing physical (not counting mental, seeing a shrink is also an open admission) problems like COVID-19, TB, chest scans, needles in eyes, even chromosome-related dysfunction. We are very glad that the judge saw the case for what it is. There's even encouragement to end it. On Friday afternoon/night we went out to celebrate. We'll do the same tomorrow (Monday) and then again on Tuesday. We've meanwhile begun removing the old Christmas decorations. Next up (around May) we'll work on the Tux Machines party (21 years). █ ⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⢴⡶⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⣶⢶⣶⣦⡀⣠⣴⣶⠶⠺⠟⠛⠻⢿⡿⠏⢱⠗⠲⠷⢶⣶⣶⣶⡄⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⡟⠉⠉⠉⠉ ⣀⣤⣶⠟⠻⣿⣇⣀⣀⣀⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⢛⣿⠷⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⡀⠈⠻⢿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣯⣧⢼⣿⣬⣿⣯⣿⣭⣿⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⠥⠿⠿⠯⣤⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢠⣶⣄⣠⣤⣀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡏⣿⠋⢻⢃⢸⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣷⣿⣤⣾⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣶⣦⣤⣤⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠘⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⡟⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢾⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉⠉⢅⢋⠟⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡏⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⢺⣤⣤⡄⡀⡈⡀⣀⡤⣠⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣏⣀⣈⣛⣣⣯⣭⣥⣵⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⡿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢷⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣺⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿ ⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣟⠞⠻⠞⠇⠏⠃⠝⠇⠯⠫⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠯⠟⠿⠟⠿⠿⠿⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣚⣟⣞⣿⡾⠻⠿⠛⠛⠓⠛⠋⠁⠈⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠟ ⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠟⣿⣿⠐⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠐⢻⣦⠸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢈⠉⠛⠻⠈⠅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡸⢸⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠐⠿⠇⢠⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⢬⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⣠⣘⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡼⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣲⣶⡿⠟⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠎⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣧⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣶⣿⣿ ⠛⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠊⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣏⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣛⣿⣟⣋ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⣤⡤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡴⠁⠀⠀⢠⣤⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⢧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡆⢀⣸⣿⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡠⠎⡐⠀⠀⢀⡏⢻⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⡿⠋⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⠀⠀⠀⢱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢷⣿⣿⣏⠉⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠊⠀⠀⠀⢸⣇⣉⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⢿⣧⣀⣀⣰⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⢟⣾⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠐⠡⠀⠝⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣧⠤⠬⠿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⣽⣿⢿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⢏⣾⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠃⠀⠠⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡟⡂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠿⠿⠛⢛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⡶⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣰⢋⣾⠿⠶⠀⣷⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⣶⠀⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠗⢙⡂⠀⠠⣀⠀⠀⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⡼⢡⣿⠿⠷⣾⡖⣩⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣅⣀⣰⣶⡖⠖⠻⠀⠀⠦⠔⠚⢟⣦⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣆⡀⠠⣴⣾⣟⠀⢧⠀⠁⠠⠄⢛⠿⠷⣆⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡆⣠⣀⠀⢾⡟⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢀⠞⢠⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⢷⣭⣤⣤⣴⠂⠈⠠⢽⡿⠿⠿⠿⠧⡄⠀⠀⣰⣶⣶⡦⢴⣯⡵⠶⢤⣀⠀⢀⠩⠟⢃⣰⣺⣯⠥⠤⢯⣧⡄⢠⠤⠬⡉⠐⠆⡨⠥⢤⡀⠀⢀⠠⠤⠄⠀⠀⢠⡿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1945 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/19/Windows_TCO_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/19/Windows_TCO_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Windows TCO Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 19, 2025 * ⚓ SANS ☛ Zero_Trust_and_Entra_ID_Conditional_Access,_(Sun,_Jan_19th) [Ed: Misleading.
