This causes a great deal of consternation for partisans of other languages, because they don’t want to link “all of libc”. But when does anything link all of libc? * ⚓ Klara ☛ Isolating_Containers_with_ZFS_and_Linux_Namespaces_-_Klara Systems⠀⇛ The first building block of our multi-tenant or multi-workload configuration is OpenZFS. ZFS provides pooled storage to combine the capacity and performance of multiple storage devices while adding additional reliability. It then allows the administrator or framework to create multiple virtual filesystems on top of that pool, sharing the available free space and resources subject to configured constraints. Each ZFS virtual file system (dataset) has a set of inherited properties that control various aspects, such as transparent compression, encryption, block/record size, quotas, reservations, and the directory where the contents are mounted. Compared to traditional file systems, this already offers more flexibility and control, but it is the ability to delegate a dataset entirely to a container that truly makes ZFS the best choice for containers. ZFS has supported containers since its early days at Sun Microsystems through its integration with Solaris Zones. When ZFS was ported to FreeBSD, this concept was adapted to work with Jails, where it has been widely used for over a decade. Support for Linux containers arrived more recently as part of the OpenZFS 2.2 release through patches written and upstreamed by Klara for a customer. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 476 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/14/Calibre_7_26_Open_Source_Ebook_Manager_Is_Out_with_New_Features.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/14/Calibre_7_26_Open_Source_Ebook_Manager_Is_Out_with_New_Features.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Calibre 7.26 Open-Source Ebook Manager Is Out with New Features and Bug Fixes⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Feb 14, 2025, updated Feb 14, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Calibre_7.26⦈_ Calibre 7.26 lets you specify web search links that are used when clicking on item names in the Book details panel for custom columns via Preferences->Add your own columns and adds the ability to perform the same action as clicking it in the book details panel when clicking on author names in the book details page. This release also fixes several bugs, including a regression in the Kobo driver that broke support for very old Kobo devices, an issue when setting custom icons for categories, broken series mapping rules in the metadata preferences, and a regression that caused minor problems with editing metadata directly in the book list. Read_on Linuxiac: * ⚓ Calibre_7.26_Update_Brings_Enhanced_Web_Search,_Metadata_Fixes⠀⇛ Only a week after its previous 7.25 release, Calibre, the beloved open-source eBook management software, has rolled out version 7.26, offering a blend of fresh features, bug fixes, and noteworthy improvements.

Next week the company plans to launch some new hardware – most likely a new iPhone SE, but a current-gen mid- range iPhone could be just one of several new products on the way. In other recent tech news from around the web, Google has released a second beta of Android 16 ahead of a Q2, 2025 release (9to5Google has a nice roundup of new user-facing features), the team working on bringing Linux to Macs with Apple M series processors is undergoing some changes, OnePlus has announced something it’s not doing this year, and Amazon is making it tougher to download Kindle eBooks to your computer. * ⚓ Asahi_Linux_head_quits,_citing_kernel_leadership_failure⠀⇛ Hector Martin, project lead of Asahi Linux, resigned from that effort early Friday, Japan Standard Time, citing developer burnout, demanding users, and Linus Torvalds's handling of the integration of Rust code into the open source kernel. In a lengthy post, Martin explained his decision, partly blaming a lack of support from the Linux chief. Torvalds' critique of Martin's "social brigading" during a disagreement about Rust drivers prompted Martin to quit his role as a maintainer of the upstream Linux kernel code for Apple's Arm Macs earlier this month. (Asahi is a Linux distribution for Apple's Arm-compatible PCs, hence Martin's involvement, up until now, in both the kernel's code for those machines as well as that distro project.) * ⚓ Asahi_Linux_Gets_a_Reboot,_Still_Working_On_M3_&_M4_Mac_Support⠀⇛ Asahi Linux, the project bringing a native Linux desktop to Apple Silicon-based Mac computers, has hit some roadblocks with development and hardware support. The project’s founder is also retiring. Mac computers with M1 and newer chipsets use a custom ARM-based Apple Silicon architecture, instead of the same Intel x86 processors found in most PCs, so they can’t run a typical desktop Linux distribution. The Asahi Linux project has done a lot of work over the past few years to change that, with many drivers and low-level components written from scratch, and it even surpasses native macOS in gaming and other areas. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠿⣤⣤⡄⡀⠈⠛⠷⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠿⣷⣦⣀⠀⠀⠙⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣾⣶⣶⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠁⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⡀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣶⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠳⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢠⡿⢷⠀⢀⣾⠛⢿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⢻⡿⣷⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠘⡄⣨⣡⣤⣅⡀⠸⠇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣦⣄⡈⠙⠛⠻⢿⣶⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢠⠺⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣻⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⠿⢶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢾⡇⢶⣦⣀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⣭⡺⣭⣭⠷⣛⣭⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠃⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⢰⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠂⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⢂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠌⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⢃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⠀⠀⢰⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⣿⡟⠀⠘⠿⢯⠇⠀⠀⠸⡄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠓⠚⠤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⢀⣤⣀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢋⡀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣾⣷⣄⣠⣤⣾⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⢠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1227 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/14/Mozilla_Promoting_Proprietary_Software_Lying_About_It_Being_Ope.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/14/Mozilla_Promoting_Proprietary_Software_Lying_About_It_Being_Ope.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Mozilla Promoting Proprietary Software (Lying About It Being "Open") and Hey Hi (AI) Buzzwords, Not Open Web⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 14, 2025 * ⚓ Mozilla ☛ The_Mozilla_Blog:_Bluesky’s_Emily_Liu_on_rethinking_social control_media_(and_why_it’s_time_to_chime_in) [Ed: The Mozilla Blog is boosting proprietary social control media instead of Free software and Web standards; this is also openwashing because Bluesky is proprietary]⠀⇛ We caught up with Emily Liu, head of special projects at Bluesky, as the open-source [sic] platform celebrates its first year launching to the public (you can follow Firefox on Bluesky here).

Just over a year ago at Bletchley Park, open_source_AI was framed as a risk. In Paris, we saw a major shift. There is now a growing recognition that openness isn’t just compatible with Hey Hi (AI) safety and advancing public interest AI—it’s essential to it. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1278 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/14/Open_Hardware_Modding_ESP32_and_More.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/14/Open_Hardware_Modding_ESP32_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: ESP32 and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 14, 2025 * ⚓ Andrew Hutchings ☛ Repair_of_a_Cirrus_Logic_VLB_Graphics_Card⠀⇛ Fellow vintage computer collector, Gammitin, challenged me to fix four VLB graphics cards, as well as upgrade the RAM on them.

Let’s find out. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ MaTouch_SmartKnob_Assembled_ESP32-based_rotary_knob_with touchscreen_display_sells_for_$69⠀⇛ Makerfabs has recently released “MaTouch SmartKnob Assembled” based on the SmartKnob View open-source hardware design but enclosed in a plastic case. As a reminder, the SmartKnob View is an ESP32-S3-based DIY rotary knob built around a BLDC motor. With clever software and engineering, the motor is so configured that it can do software configurable detents, haptic feedback, magnetic encoder, and more. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ PCB_Design_Review:_M.2_SSD_Splitter⠀⇛ Today’s PCB design review is a board is from [Wificable]. iI’s a novel dual-SSD laptop adapter board! See, CPUs and chipsets often let you split wide PCIe links into multiple smaller width links. This board relies on a specific laptop with a specific CPU series, and a BIOS mod, to put two M.2 NVMe SSDs into a single SSD slot of a specific series’ laptop. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ GoogleFindMyTools_locates_ESP32-based_Bluetooth_trackers using_Surveillance_Giant_Google_Find_My_Device_network⠀⇛ Leon Böttger's GoogleFindMyTools is a re-implementation of Google's Find My Device network.

This is SONOFF’s first Zigbee-enabled Smart Wall Switch. In addition to functioning as a smart wall switch, it can also act as a Zigbee Router, making it easier to expand your Zigbee network at home in one shot. One of the key features of the SONOFF ZBM5 is that it can either operate in with-neutral (N) or without-neutral (N) wiring setups. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Edge_video_processing_platform_features_NXP_i.MX_8M Plus,_i.MX_93,_or_i.MX_95_SoC,_supports_up_to_23_camera_types⠀⇛ DAB Embedded AquaEdge is a compact computer based on NXP i.MX 8M Plus, i.MX 93, or i.MX 95 SoC working as an edge video processing platform and supporting 23 types of vision cameras with resolution from VGA up to 12MP, and global/rolling shutter. The small edge computer features a gigabit Ethernet RJ45 jack with PoE to power the device. It is also equipped with a single GSML2 connector to connect a camera whose input can be processed by the built-in Hey Hi (AI) accelerator found in the selected NXP i.MX processors. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Transparent_BB-8_Build_Using_Christmas_Ornaments⠀⇛ The cool thing about the droids of Star Wars is that they’re not that hard to recreate in real life. R2-D2 is a popular choice, but you can even build yourself a neat little BB-8 if you’re so inclined. [Piyush] has built a particularly compelling example that’s transparent, which lets you see the internals and how it all works. * ⚓ Jon_Chiappetta:_Testing_out_the_Lenovo_ThinkCenter_1L_MiniPC_as_a_core firewall_and_router⠀⇛ This is a newly modified setup I’m testing out instead of the Linksys OpenWRT I am using the Lenovo M920Q with Debian. I also installed the StarTech 4-Port 2.5Gbps PCIe Card (Intel I225-V) and the PCIe 16x Riser Card.

There’s no shortage of Linux distros you can use, including the big ones like Ubuntu and Mint, but they aren’t for everyone. One relatively new choice is the stunning Oreon 10 which we declared had "arrived to replace Microsoft Windows" when it launched last December. That OS has just received a big update, but it’s what’s coming next that has us most excited. o § Graphics Stack⠀➾ # ⚓ Free Desktop ☛ mesa_25.0.0-rc3⠀⇛ Hello everyone, I'm happy to announce the next release candidate, 25.0.0-rc3. As always, if you find any issues please report them here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/ new Any issue that should block the release of 25.0.0 final, thus adding more 25.0.0-rc* release candidates, must be added to this milestone: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/ milestones/49 The next release candidate is expected in one week, on February 19th.

This dataset is designed to enhance automated legal text classification, which reduces manual review efforts and improves accuracy in identifying legal snippets within software projects. “Open sourcing the dataset is cooler than just open sourcing the weights to a model fine-tuned by us because everyone can use it to make their own versions based on whatever open weight model they want,” said Sebastian Riedel, one of the developers behind the project. # § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ AI_in_2025:_is_it_an_agentic_year? [Ed: Canonical pushing mindless buzzwords and slop, trying to pretend to somehow be ahead and instead coming across as a vapourware vendor that pollutes the environment]⠀⇛ Yet, 2024 wasn’t just a year of incredible GenAI results, it was also a year of challenges – security, ease of use and simplified operations remain core obstacles that organizations still need to address. So what do we foresee in the AI space this year? Where is the community going to channel their energy? Let’s take a quick look at 2024 and then dive into the expectations for AI in 2025. o § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ # § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ # ⚓ Shayon Mukherjee ☛ Scaling_with_PostgreSQL_without boiling_the_ocean⠀⇛ Scaling PostgreSQL successfully doesn’t always require a full team of DBAs and experts. The beauty of PostgreSQL is that solutions often lie within the database itself - by rethinking your data access patterns from first principles, you can solve many business problems at scale. In this post, I’ll address some common “weird” issues I’ve encountered and explore solutions that work at scale. # § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ # ⚓ Chris Enns ☛ Getting_Ghosted_by_Ghost's_Comments⠀⇛ That extra back and forth got me wondering—isn't there a way right inside the Ghost admin dashboard to see, reply, and moderate comments on my blog? WordPress has a fairly robust comment management system built into its dashboard, and I assumed Ghost would have something similar. # § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ # ⚓ Thomas Rigby ☛ Should_your_RSS_expose_full_content_or a_snippet?⠀⇛ Some interesting points were raised around image-heavy posts and the associated data load which is definitely a concern from a sustainability angle. However, unless it's specifically called out in the snippet, users will still download the image data when they "read more". # ⚓ [Old] Ashur Cabrera ☛ Let_an_RSS_feed_be_a_reminder • Multiline_Comment⠀⇛ A few blogs I recently started following have something in common, and whether it’s a trend or just a coincidence, it was enough to catch my eye and start me thinking about all of this again. What is this shared bit of blogging wisdom? You guessed it! They only serve an excerpt of the post. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1606 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/14/Programming_Leftovers.1.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/14/Programming_Leftovers.1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 14, 2025 * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Is_CRAN_Holding_R_Back?⠀⇛ Today the R package acs was recently “archived” from CRAN. This led to the choroplethr package (which I maintain) also being “archived”. I write “archived” in quotes because CRAN stands for “Comprehensive R Archive Network”: everything on it is part of an archive and it appears that nothing is ever deleted. * ⚓ Karl Seguin ☛ Switching_on_Strings_in_Zig⠀⇛ I've seen two explanations for why this isn't supported. The first is that there's ambiguity around string identity. Are two strings only considered equal if they point to the same address? Is a null-terminated string the same as its non-null- terminated counterpart? The other reason is that users of switch [apparently] expect certain optimizations which are not possible with strings (although, presumably, these same users would know that such optimizations aren't possible with string). Instead, in Zig, there are two common methods for comparing strings. * ⚓ James Koppel ☛ The_11_Aspects_of_Good_Code⠀⇛ Lessons on code quality start in the first few weeks of learning to program, when a newcomer to the field is taught the basics of variable naming and told why programming languages have comments. They continue in countless blog posts and in every debate on a pull request. Avoid it or embrace it, code quality training permeates one's entire career. But it is so easy to lose sight of why. * ⚓ James G ☛ Learning_from_prior_art_in_technology_design⠀⇛ One of the pieces of advice about design that has stuck in my head over the last year is to build a habit of noting interesting designs. When I am using technology, I often think oh, I like this! Then, I start asking more questions. What do I like about this? What behaviours does it encourage, positive and negative? What other examples have I seen of this pattern? * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Lazy_introduction_to_laziness_in_R⠀⇛ In the programming world, laziness can often be a good thing: it is both a human quality that can motivate automation efforts, and a programming concept that avoids wasting resources such as memory. Now, when reading code or documentation, seeing the word “lazy” can be confusing, because of its polisemy: it carries several meanings. In this post, we will enumerate the different possible definitions of “lazy” in R code. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Simon Willison ☛ URL-addressable_Pyodide_Python_environments⠀⇛ Datasette Lite is a version of Datasette that runs entirely in your browser. It runs on Pyodide, which I think is still the most underappreciated project in the Python ecosystem. I built Datasette Lite almost three years ago as a weekend hack project to try and see if I could get Datasette—a server-side Python web application—to run entirely in the browser. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Julia Evans ☛ How_to_add_a_directory_to_your_PATH⠀⇛ I was talking to a friend about how to add a directory to your PATH today. It’s something that feels “obvious” to me since I’ve been using the terminal for a long time, but when I searched for instructions for how to do it, I actually couldn’t find something that explained all of the steps – a lot of them just said “add this to ~/.bashrc”, but what if you’re not using bash? What if your bash config is actually in a different file? And how are you supposed to figure out which directory to add anyway? o ⚓ [Old] Piya Gehi ☛ Making_sense_of_zsh_history_shell_options⠀⇛ I was refactoring my .zshrc recently, and found these existing options for managing the command history: [...] ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1735 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/14/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/14/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 14, 2025 * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Bootstrap_vs_Standard_Error_Confidence_Intervals⠀⇛ During a recent class a student asked whether bootstrap confidence intervals were more robust than confidence intervals estimated using the standard error (i.e. \(SE = \frac{s}{\sqrt {n}}\)). In order to answer this question I wrote a function to simulate taking a bunch of random samples from a population, calculate the confidence interval for that sample using the standard error approach (the t distribution is used by default, see the cv parameter. To use the normal distribution, for example, set cv = 1.96.), and then also calculating a confidence interval using the boostrap. * ⚓ Trail of Bits ☛ The_call_for_invariant-driven_development⠀⇛ We need a paradigm shift toward invariant-driven development to drive the industry toward a more secure future. By embedding invariants—key properties that must always hold—into every stage of the software development lifecycle, you can significantly enhance the robustness of your smart contracts. In this blog post, we’ll explore what invariant-driven development means, why it’s essential, and how you can adopt this approach to elevate your security practices and build more robust smart contracts. * ⚓ Yoshua Wuyts ☛ A_survey_of_every_iterator_variant⠀⇛ I'm increasingly of the belief that before we can meaningfully discuss the solution space, we have to first make an effort to build consensus on the problem space. It's hard to plan for a journey together if we don't know what the trip will be like along the way. Or worse: if we don't agree in advance where we want the journey to take us. In Rust the Iterator trait is the single-most complex trait in the stdlib. It provides 76 methods, and by my estimate (I stopped counting at 120) has around 150 trait implementations in the stdlib alone. It also features a broad range of extension traits like FusedIterator and ExactSizeIterator that provide additional capabilities. And it is itself a trait-based expression of one of Rust's core control-flow effects; meaning it is at the heart of a lot of interesting questions about how we combine such effects. * ⚓ Unix Men ☛ Markdown_Italics:_Instructions,_Pitfalls,_and_Solutions⠀⇛ It is also used to highlight key points and improve the readability of the overall content.

As it had dropped off CRAN over a relatively minor issue, I descided to adopted it with the previous 1.1.2_release made quite recently. This release adds new high-resolution clock-based UUIDs accordingt to the v7 spec. Internally 100ns increments are represented. The resulting UUIDs are both unique and sortable. I added this recent example to the README.md which illustrated both the implicit ordering and uniqueness. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ RIPE ☛ Easy_RIPE_Atlas_Data_Analysis_with_SQL⠀⇛ Not a big fan of pandas dataframe syntax? Prefer to use SQL? Then suffer no more! In this detailed, step-by-step guide using RIPE Atlas public data, find out how DuckDB allows you to use SQL without any DB server on a Jupyter Notebook. o ⚓ Adam_Young:_Converting_a_Shell_Script_to_Python⠀⇛ We have a build system that has grown organically. It started as a shell script. We needed to run it from gitlab, so we wrote helper scripts to insulate our code from gitlab. Then we added some helper functions to mimic the gitlab interactions when working with them from the comand line. The helper functions grew until you could not practically run the original shell script without them. It is a mess. I want to refactor it. Refactoring Shell is painful. I want objects. I want python. * § Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Go_1.24_Released_with_Faster_Performance,_Better Tooling⠀⇛ It introduces complete support for generic type aliases, significantly enhancing the language’s generic programming capabilities. Now, a type alias can be parameterized in the same way as a defined type. According to the Go team, this change opens up more concise ways to write and maintain Go code while still preserving readability and clarity. * § Java⠀➾ o ⚓ Unix Men ☛ Java_Versions:_How_to_View_and_Switch_Versions⠀⇛ Java is a stable and matured product. It follows a structured release cycle with each version being released every six months and LTS version being rolled out every three years.

One low-fi solution that I use on this website at the moment is based on a big JSON file and some JavaScript that searches through that JSON. This solution won't work so well for big-ish websites. This blog has about 2k posts and the full JSON-file is 1.3 MB at the moment. It works on my connection, but that's not nothing. So keep that in mind. Here's how it works. * ⚓ James Kerr ☛ SuperDB_Website_Build_Review⠀⇛ I use Hugo for all my static site needs. It has downsides as well, but at least it’s fast, it lets me write standard HTML, CSS, and JS, and gives me good data structures for pages, sections, menus, markdown, metadata, and partials. The downside is having to write Go templates. It’s an awkward and verbose language. But the upsides are too good, so I’m getting over it. While working on this, I discovered even more features of Hugo like the virtual union file system. That allowed me to render the docs in the site without moving the files into the website folder. * ⚓ Cory Dransfeldt ☛ Dynamic_pages_with_PHP_and_11ty⠀⇛ When I moved this site to my own hosting I rewrote the dynamic code that had previously been handled by edge functions in PHP. To speed up build times and make things scale nicely as I add more content and pages, I recreated my media pages as an amalgam of PHP and Liquid templates that 11ty writes out as complete pages at build time. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2670 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/14/The_Steam_Deck_Is_Our_Path_To_Ending_Microsoft_s_Death_Grip_On_.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/14/The_Steam_Deck_Is_Our_Path_To_Ending_Microsoft_s_Death_Grip_On_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ The Steam Deck Is Our Path To Ending Microsoft’s Death Grip On Personal Computers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 14, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Steam_Deck⦈_ Valve, the company best-known for developing beloved games like "Half-Life" and "Counter-Strike," absolutely dominates the world of PC gaming with its Steam marketplace, but over 96 percent of its users are running Windows, which, at the end of the day, is owned by another company fighting for the same customer's wallet. Heck, most PC games only ship with Windows support; don't even hope for Mac or Linux versions. But thanks to Valve's success in portable gaming, Microsoft's dominance of the PC market could very well get shaken up. About a decade ago, Valve flirted with pushing for Linux-based gaming with its own SteamOS and co-branded PCs called "Steam Machines" (that ran its free operating system instead of Microsoft's proprietary Windows OS.) That certainly didn't take off, but Valve didn't give up on the idea of decoupling its store from Microsoft's platform.

But knowing a bit about how Unix originated cannot hurt. Understanding the context of the OS helps you understand the screen you're looking at, and history can answer many of your initial questions, like “Why are command names so short?” The second chapter—“History: A Tale of Two Cultures”—explains how Unix began in 1969, on teletype machines that looked like glorified typewriters. It’s amazing to think that these machines still have something in common with many of the servers that power our lives online.

You shouldn't react any differently if it's a bad password for an existing account, an account that doesn't exist any more (perhaps with the correct password for the account when it existed), an account that never existed, and so on.
