Namely, the distro is taking a bold step toward immutability. However, its unique implementation sets Deepin apart from other distributions jumping on the immutability trend. The developers have added a clever twist: users can temporarily disable immutability when needed to make changes to the system. This flexibility offers the best of both worlds and makes for an approach that I find quite appealing. It is all made possible by a system developed by the Deepin team called Solid. Here’s a bit more about it.

It’s a necessary distinction – one we didn’t have to make until recently – though its importance will vary by use case. Generated Data Data that is artificially created, often by AI models, and used to augment authentic datasets or simulate real-world scenarios. There is a growing wariness of “generated data” among data analysts and enterprises. Just as there are fears that AI slop will poison the internet, rendering it difficult to use for both humans and machines, there is anxiety that generated data will undermine analyses and lead to poor decisions. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 447 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/24/Games_Proton_Experimental_Game_Developers_Conference_GDC_Survey.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/24/Games_Proton_Experimental_Game_Developers_Conference_GDC_Survey.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Proton Experimental, Game Developers Conference (GDC) Survey, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 24, 2025 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Proton_Experimental_updated_with_fixes_for_Battle.net, Atelier_Resleriana,_Dirt_Rally_2_and_more⠀⇛ Valve updated Proton Experimental for January 22nd with a bunch more fixes for gamers on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck.

This project is a key component of the work commissioned by the Sovereign Tech Agency (STA) and is one of five initiatives that together are aimed at advancing Zero Trust builds, Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), CI/CD automation, security controls in Ports and Packages, and technical debt reduction. The Zero-Trust Build project is scheduled from Jan-Aug 2025 and centers on the FreeBSD build process, and in particular, release building. The primary goal of this work is to enable the entire release process to run without requiring root access, and that build artifacts build reproducibly – that is, that a third party can build bit-for-bit identical artifacts. Additionally, the project aims to enhance build process documentation, ensuring that release building is straightforward and does not require specialized knowledge.

That’s no longer in the real of constant factors, and it was clear that something asymptotically was wrong. * ⚓ Undeadly ☛ Game_of_Trees_0.108_released⠀⇛ Version 0.108 of Game of Trees has been released (and the port updated): [...] * ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ CVSS_is_dead_to_us⠀⇛ I am of course advocating strongly within the CNA ecosystem that we should be able to stop CISA from doing this, but I am just a small cog in a very large machine. A large machine that seems to love CVSS. I do not expect to have much success in this area anytime soon. And no, I don’t think switching to CVSS 4.0 or updates to this system is ultimately going to help us. The problem is grounded in the fact that a single one-dimensional score is just too limited. Every user or distributor of the project should set scores for their different use cases. Maybe even different ones for different cases. Then it could perhaps work. But I’m not in this game for any quick wins. I’m on the barricades for better (Open Source) security information, and to stop security misinformation. Ideally for the wider ecosystem, because I think we are far from alone in this situation. The love of CVSS is strong and there is a lot of money involved based on and relying on this. * ⚓ Thorsten Ball ☛ Judging_Code⠀⇛ With that, we gain the ability to send HTTP requests, serialize & deserialize JSON, and to handle errors without cursing. We’re ready to write some code. * ⚓ Sandor Dargo ☛ C++26:_pack_indexing⠀⇛ While packs are a useful feature, and since C++17 it’s so easy to use them in fold expressions, extracting a specific element of a pack is somewhat cumbersome. You either have to rely on some standard functions not made for the purpose or use “awkward boolean expression crafting or recursive templates”. None of them is unbearable, but it might be error-prone or simply expensive regarding compile-time performance. Nevertheless, they are not the most readable solutions. C++26 brings us pack indexing as a core language feature thanks to the proposal of Corentin Jabot and Pablo Halpern, P2662R3. * ⚓ Facundo Olano ☛ Unit_Testing_Principles⠀⇛ I learned about the Unit Testing book through Saša Jurić’s Clarity talk. The entire talk was brilliant but the last 15 minutes especially, when he turned the discussion to testing, were eye-opening. Jurić attributed his style of testing units of behavior instead of units of code to Vladimir Khorikov’s Unit Testing book, so I decided to buy a copy. * ⚓ TecMint ☛ Bun:_A_Faster_JavaScript_Runtime_for_GNU/Linux_Users⠀⇛ .

Fast machines and compile farms with thousands of machines make time spent compiling seem less important than ever. Most modern priorities are for the program to either run fast or have a small footprint—sometimes both. That does not mean we should ignore compile time. The compiler builds itself, so in some respects compile time is a reflection of how well it generates runtime code. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1418 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/24/Red_Hat_OfficialRed_Hat_Official_Communications.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/24/Red_Hat_OfficialRed_Hat_Official_Communications.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat OfficialRed Hat Official Communications⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 24, 2025 * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Jumpstart_and_expand_automation_across_your_IT operation⠀⇛ When it comes to the challenges you have to address, here are a few of the themes that are often shared: [...] * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ FIPS_mode_for_Red_Bait_Go_Toolset⠀⇛ Red_Hat_Go_Toolset includes modifications to allow applications to optionally use OpenSSL as a cryptographic backend instead of the standard Go crypto implementation. This approach replaces upstream Go’s BoringSSL bindings with bindings into Red Hat’s own distribution of OpenSSL. The Go Toolset runtime is designed to be able to detect whether or not the operating system is booted in FIPS mode and to select either the standard crypto or OpenSSL back end accordingly. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Red_Hat_Connectivity_Link_now_generally_available⠀⇛ Red Hat has officially announced the general availability of Red_Hat_Connectivity_Link, a solution designed to simplify and secure traffic management across hybrid_cloud environments. In this article, we will explore what Connectivity Link offers and how it can enhance your hybrid cloud strategy by streamlining connectivity and boosting security. § What is Connectivity Link  Connectivity Link provides Kubernetes-native traffic management in multi-cluster environments. It leverages the power of the Kubernetes_Gateway_API and Envoy proxy to provide a unified, efficient approach to managing ingress traffic and related policies in multi-cluster Kubernetes environments. With Connectivity Link, platform engineers and application developers can collaborate to connect, secure, and protect distributed services and applications.  * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Strategies_for_eliminating_Ansible_hardcoded_credentials⠀⇛ Ansible_execution_environments provide a reusable and supported operating environment for running Red_Hat_Ansible_Automation Platform. These container-based instances provide everything that the desired automation needs to execute successfully, including any of the necessary dependencies and supporting components, while also eliminating many of the challenges faced when running automation at scale. During the process of building execution environments, there may be a need to access content from sources that require authentication. Hardcoding these properties into the build process may present a security concern and does not align with recommended operating practices. In this article, I will present several areas where hardcoded properties are typically used when building execution environments and the alternative options available to produce software more securely. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Why_UX_designers_should_develop_technical_expertise⠀⇛ The worlds of user experience (UX) design and open source technology are increasingly converging. At Red Hat, where open source fuels innovation, this synergy is reshaping how designers and developers collaborate to create impactful tools and workflows. For many UX designers, including myself, the idea of stepping into technical realms like using command line interfaces (CLIs), opening an issue on Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub , or diving into codebases can feel intimidating and out of reach. But the most impactful opportunities lie within these technical spaces. These opportunities to create new tools and workflows empower users and bridge the gap between design and development. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1517 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/24/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/24/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 24, 2025, updated Jan 24, 2025 * ⚓ SANS ☛ Catching_CARP:_Fishing_for_Firewall_States_in_PFSync_Traffic,_ (Wed,_Jan_22nd)⠀⇛ Legend has it that in the Middle Ages, monchs raised carp to be as "round" as possible.

Their omnipresence stems from their cost- effectiveness, flexibility, and collaborative nature, making them a cornerstone of contemporary software development. However, this widespread use also makes it a critical weak link in software security. Many open source projects are maintained by small teams or individual contributors with limited resources, leaving them exposed to unpatched vulnerabilities, outdated dependencies, and supply chain attacks. Transparency about these challenges, paired with the proactive use of security tools, is essential for regaining trust in open source code/components. * ⚓ Troy Hunt ☛ You_Can't_Trust_Hackers,_and_Other_Data_Breach_Verification Tales⠀⇛ It's hard to find a good criminal these days.

I mention this because the idea of typing commands tends to scare off new users and my goal -- for years -- has been to introduce people to the open source operating system. That said, there are certain Linux commands that I can count on to use every single day. Those commands help me do the things I do, keep my systems running well, and ensure that I'm informed about what's happening on my machines. Of course, everyone's computing experience is different, so what you need likely will differ from the commands I depend on. That said, here are the six Linux commands that are almost guaranteed to be run daily from my keyboard.

It took forever to dawn on me because I never had the issue to present before. All I had to do was to move that code to the top and everything else below it. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Sometimes_you_need_to_(or_have_to)_run_old binaries_of_programs⠀⇛ Something that is probably not news to system administrators who've been doing this long enough is that sometimes, you need to or have to run old binaries of programs. I don't mean that you need to run old versions of things (although since the program binaries are old, they will be old versions); I mean that you literally need to run old binaries, ones that were built years ago. The obvious situation where this can happen is if you have commercial software and the vendor either goes out of business or stops providing updates for the software. In some situations this can result in you needing to keep extremely old systems alive simply to run this old software, and there are lots of stories about 'business critical' software in this situation. * ⚓ Jim Nielsen ☛ Consistency_For_Who?_Thoughts_on_Overriding_Basic Computing_Controls⠀⇛ In the end, it’s the user who has to deal with these inconsistencies. But isn’t that what “systems” are meant to solve in the first place? In other words, the default, un-styled, system-level controls for radios, switches, checkboxes, etc., are the original design system before our branded design systems overrode them. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Fwupd_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ Keeping your firmware up to date is crucial for maintaining system stability, security, and performance.

Instead of constantly formatting a flash drive, Ventoy allows users to copy multiple ISO files directly to the USB device. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Abusive_Monopolist_Microsoft_Fonts_on Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ Microsoft fonts are widely used in professional documents, web pages, and multimedia projects. Many users rely on them for consistency across platforms, ensuring their files look the same whether opened on Windows, macOS, or Linux. However, out of the box, Linux Mint 22 does not include these proprietary Abusive Monopolist Microsoft fonts by default. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_WordPress_on_Fedora_41⠀⇛ WordPress stands out as one of the most popular content management systems (CMS) for creating dynamic and feature-rich websites.

Kicking things off, Vivaldi 7.1 debuts the Weather Widget, a straightforward yet powerful tool that allows you to check the current conditions without leaving your browser. It sits in Vivaldi’s Start Page Dashboard, seamlessly among your mail, calendar, feeds, and other essential tools. If you love customizing your space, you’ll be thrilled by the new styling options for Dashboard widgets. * ⚓ Vivaldi_7.1_Delivers_Speed_Dial_Buffs,_New_Search_Engine_-_OMG!

Keeping things scandi-cool, the Norway-based browser makes use of the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (met.no) as its weather widget’s meteorological data provider. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠋⠬⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠊⢁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣃⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡒⠰⢾⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠆⠐⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣄⠀⠻⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⣉⣘⣛⣀⣀⣛⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀ ⣿⢛⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠽⠉⠃⠼⠿⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡡⠐⢞⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠋⠐⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⠘⠾⢸⠘⠞⡴⡄⣇⣸⡳⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠐⠳⠲⠶⠇⠻⠒⠖⠒⠶⠂⠀⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⠤⡄⣀⡀⣀⢀⢀⡀⣀⡀⣀⣠⣆⡀⣀⣴⠀⠀⢠⡤⣤⢀⣀⢀⣀⣀⣀⢀⣀⡀⣀⣀⢀⣀⢠⡄⠀⠀⣤⢤⣄⣀⣰⣀⠀⡀⣀⣀⣄⢀⣀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠚⠙⣇⡽⢻⡟⣿⠹⣟⠇⡏⢸⠸⣇⣿⣿⢠⠀⢸⡗⠋⢿⣺⢻⡇⣝⣺⢺⣨⠇⡏⢹⢼⣺⣿⡇⡄⠀⡿⠚⠹⡇⢸⠸⣾⢹⣷⣇⣧⢿⣺⢣⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2372 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/24/Web_and_Networking_Stories.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/24/Web_and_Networking_Stories.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web and Networking Stories⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 24, 2025 * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ More_features_for_web_page_generation_systems doing_URL_remapping⠀⇛ A few years ago I wrote about how web page generation systems should support remapping external URLs (this includes systems that convert some form of wikitext to HTML). At the time I was mostly thinking about remapping single URLs and mentioned things like remapping prefixes (so you could remap an entire domain into web.archive.org) as something for a fancier version. Well, the world turns and things happen and I now think that such prefix remapping is essential; even if you don't start out with it, you're going to wind up with it in the longer term. * ⚓ Michał Sapka ☛ Linkblog_is_now_fully_operational⠀⇛ Let’s face it: the web is in dire state.
