It's been over half a decade since the Purism Librem 5 and PinePhone got Linux nerds excited—and even longer since the Ubuntu Edge teased us with the concept. Yet there's still something amusing about the FuriPhone FLX1. Don't get me wrong. In terms of usability, the FuriPhone FLX1 may just be the most serious Linux phone yet. It's packing hardware powerful enough to actually be used as a phone, and the software seems reliable enough. It's the way Furi Labs achieved this that warrants a smile. See, while this phone runs a full-blown Debian-based Linux OS, it does so on top of Halium, a means of running a Linux interface on top of Android. And what's one of the key benefits of getting a FuriPhone over another Linux phone? It can run Android apps! Yup, you can run Android, inside of Linux, inside of Android (which, technically, is also running on top of Linux). Sounds like a good reason to FLX.

Through the tireless efforts of countless developers, activists, and users, we've built an impressive foundation of software that respects our rights to use, study, modify, and share. Now, we stand at a critical juncture. The digital landscape is rapidly evolving, with new threats to user freedom emerging on a daily basis. Yet, in recent years, cracks have appeared in our foundation. Disagreements have led to friction and division within our community. We're left with a community that's fractured, bickering while the enemy - well-funded, well- organized, and utterly ruthless in their pursuit - advances on all fronts. The beauty of the free software movement lies in its simplicity. It offers a clear, concise, and universally applicable principle about the fundamental right of users to control their computing. This universal principle is the bedrock of our movement. It transcends political divides, cultural differences, personal ideologies, and everything else.

We ran Identity_and_Access_Management devroom at FOSDEM. At the devroom, my team did few talks and demos about FreeIPA and Kerberos. While preparing to those talks, we tried to create demonstrations that could be repeated by others as well. First, this was an attempt to help ourselves, as we need to communicate our advances to others in the teams. Then we started to look at how to show our progress to folks outside of the development We iterated over our tools and finally ended up with something that is based on what we use in upstream CIs: we use podman containers to run what ends up being ephemeral VMs hosting the software. This doesn’t give ability to handle all possible scenarios. It is not a way to run actual production environments as well.

Including 2 in this last week. :) I'll also point to an old post of mine about what I personally think about vacations/pto when you are working in a community: time_off_when_you_are_paid_to_work_in_a_community The biggest things for me about this isn't completely disconnecting or ignoring everything, in fact most days I get up at the same time (cats have to be fed!) and sit at my laptop like I usually do, but it's that I don't have to attend meetings, and I can do things I fully enjoy. Sometimes thats still working in the community, but sometimes its like what I did on friday: Look into a battery backup for house and tradeoffs/ideas around that. In the end I decided not to do anything right now, but I had fun learning about it. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 492 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/16/Firefox_Add_on_Reviews_and_February_patch_set_for_TenFourFox.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/16/Firefox_Add_on_Reviews_and_February_patch_set_for_TenFourFox.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Firefox Add-on Reviews and February patch set for TenFourFox⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 16, 2025 * ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Firefox_Add-on_Reviews:_Supercharge_your_productivity_with_a Firefox_extension⠀⇛ With more work and education happening online (and at home) you may find yourself needing new ways to juice your productivity. From time management to organizational tools and more, the right Firefox extension can give you an edge in the art of efficiency.  * ⚓ Ten Four Fox ☛ Cameron_Kaiser:_February_patch_set_for_TenFourFox⠀⇛ I was slack on doing the Firefox 128ESR platform rebase for TenFourFox, but I finally got around tuit, mostly because I've been doing a little more work on the Quad G5 and put some additional patches in to scratch my own itches. (See, this is what I mean by "hobby mode.") The big upgrade is a substantial overhaul of Reader Mode to pick up interval improvements in Readability. I remind folks that I went all-in on Reader Mode for a reason: it's lightweight, it makes little demands of our now antiquated machines (and TenFourFox's antiquated JavaScript runtime), and it renders very, very fast. That's why, for example, you can open a link directly in Reader Mode (right-click, it's there in the menu), the browser defaults to "sticky" Reader Mode where links you click in an article in Reader Mode stay in Reader Mode (like Las Vegas) until you turn it off from the book icon in the address bar, and you can designate certain sites to always open in Reader Mode, either every page or just subpages in case the front page doesn't render well — though that's improved too. (You can configure that from the TenFourFox preference pane. All of these features are unique to TenFourFox.) I also made some subtle changes to the CSS so that it lays out wider, which was really my only personal complaint; otherwise I'm an avid user. The improvements largely relate to better byline and "fluff" text detection as well as improved selection of article inline images. Try it.

Hopefully, you have seen on news.openssue.org that the default LSM has been switched from AppArmor to SELinux for new installations. This has been a long ongoing effort. It took quite some time as we did not just want to release it onto users (as default) before we trusted it to work, with policies that make sense out of the box. There might still be rough edges, and there are almost certainly some policy issues to be uncovered in the next weeks with more workloads running on it. Considering MicroOS and Aeon have been configured with SELinux as their LSM for quite some time, there is also high confidence in this. And bringing MicroOS, Aeon and Tumbleweed closer together makes for easier administrative switching for those distributions, as they all behave equally. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Virtualization_in_2025_and_beyond⠀⇛ Looking back, every decade has brought a new wave of innovation based on unmet customer needs and technology advancements.

This contrasts with traditional, dynamic installation processes where configuration happens in one step during installation.  Image-based installation complements existing tools like GitOps_Zero_Touch_Provisioning (ZTP) and the Agent-based_Installer (ABI) by significantly boosting speed and the reproducibility of single node OpenShift cluster provisioning. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Alan Pope ☛ Alan_Pope:_Spotlighting_Community_Stories⠀⇛ tl;dr I’m hosting a Community_Spotlight_Webinar today at Anchore featuring Nicolas_Vuilamy from the MegaLinter project.

KolibriOS features a rich set of applications that include word processor, image viewer, graphical editor, web browser and well over 30 exciting games. Full FAT12/16/32 support is implemented, as well as read-only support for NTFS, exFAT, ISO9660 and Ext2/3/4. Drivers are written for popular sound, network and graphics cards. Speed is achieved since the core parts of KolibriOS (kernel and drivers) are written entirely in FASM assembly language.

He said the decision to abandon the original name was motivated by concerns about the word “serpent’s” negative and somewhat intimidating associations. A quick clarification for our readers: In the Bible, the serpent in the Garden of Eden represents temptation, sin, and Satan. Read_on Original: * ⚓ Evolve_This_OS_|_Serpent_OS⠀⇛ Pronounced like “Erin”, it’s a name that we feel is more befitting of the project. Pulling from multiple etymologies, it’s a name that better describes the project now versus the project that started as Serpent OS. “Aer” is rather obvious, Latin in origin. The phonetic “Erin” is a nod to the Irish roots of the project, and of course a home. There are a number of reasons for the name, which will form part of the initial documentation on the new website. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣶⡿⠿⢷⣶⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣶⣦⣤⣀⣄⠀⣸⡿⠁⠀⠀⠘⠿⢿⣿⡷⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⣶⣶⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣶⣶⣶⣤⡀⢀⣠⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣤⡀⣾⣿⣿⡟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣇⣿⣿⣿⡄⣾⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⡟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣈⣙⣻⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠸⣿⣿⣿⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⡶⠶⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⢀⣤⡶⠶⣦⣄⠀⢠⣴⠶⠶⣥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣧⣤⣘⢀⣴⡶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣷⣦⣉⣽⠟⢿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡆⠀⣾⣿⠁⠀⢸⣿⣧⢿⣿⣦⣄⡙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠉⠙⢻⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡖⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⢿⣿⡀⠀⢸⣿⡟⣄⠉⠛⢿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠳⠶⠞⠛⢸⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠛⠓⠀⣸⣿⠒⠟⠋⠈⠛⠻⠟⠛⠛⠛⠋⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠈⠛⠳⠶⠛⠋⠀⠛⠳⠶⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠛⠛⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1338 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/16/Open_Hardware_CrowPi_ESP32_3_D_Printing_and_More.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/16/Open_Hardware_CrowPi_ESP32_3_D_Printing_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware: CrowPi, ESP32, 3-D Printing, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 16, 2025 * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Sipeed_NanoKVM-USB_low-cost_USB_KVM_solution_works_with Surveillance_Giant_Google_Chrome_or_other_compatible_web_browsers⠀⇛ Sipeed NanoKVM-USB is an inexpensive and tiny full HD USB KVM solution with HDMI and USB-C inputs connected to the target, and another USB-C port that connects to the host remotely controlling the target with keyboard, mouse, and monitor emulation.

A Raspberry Pi and a controller of some sort is perhaps the easiest and simplest way to go to get this job done, but to really impress the masses some extra effort is required. This handheld from [Eli] called the Game Bub not only nails the appearance and feel of the first three generations of Nintendo handhelds but, thanks to its FPGA, can play not only ROMs but the original game cartridges as well. * ⚓ [Old] Declan Chidlow ☛ I_Got_A_Flipper_Zero⠀⇛ Once I had the Flipper properly setup, I dove straight into mischief.

In an industry plagued by over-engineering, pointless meetings, and performative enthusiasm, despair can be a surprisingly powerful force for getting things done. But more than that, it is about recognizing that suffering is inherent to existence. There is no version of reality where life is free from struggle, frustration, or pain. To build software is to suffer — but in that suffering, there is purpose. Struggle is inevitable; channeling it into productivity is the logical solution. The code must be written. The tickets must be closed. The system must be maintained. Not because it brings happiness, but because it brings order to an otherwise chaotic world. A snatched moment in the quiet focus of a well-structured function can provide something resembling peace. And sometimes, that is enough. o § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ HowTo Forge ☛ How_to_Install_Fast_API_with_MongoDB_on Ubuntu_24.04⠀⇛ FastAPI is a web framework based on Python for creating API services.

Today, just in time for this edition of This Week in GNOME and after 5 years, more than a thousand review comments, and multiple massive refactorings and rewrites, the legendary merge request mutter!1441 was merged. This merge requests introduces an additional render buffer when Mutter is not able to keep up with the frames. The technique commonly known as dynamic triple buffering can help in situations where the total time to generate a frame - including CPU and GPU work - is longer than one refresh cycle. This improves the concurrency capabilities of Mutter by letting the compositor start working on the next frame as early as possible, even when the previous frame isn’t displayed. In practice, this kind of situation can happen with sudden burst of activity in the compositor. For example, when the GNOME Shell overview is opened after a period of low activity.

It first started because I did not like the general idea of a VPN server using a sub-1500 MTU setting while all of the clients on a network auto-assume a 1500 MTU themselves. In addition, instead of reading 1500 bytes at a time off of a TUN interface, you can instead read 8192 bytes off of a TCP socket at a time which you can then feed to a fast stream cipher. However, it took me quite a while to reach some stability with tracking all of the connection state types and to iron out all the issues that could arise from transparently proxying both UDP and TCP connections. * ⚓ LinuxBuz ☛ How_to_Create_Files_and_Directories_with_Ansible_File Module⠀⇛ The Ansible File module is a powerful feature for managing files and directories on remote hosts. * ⚓ LinuxBuz ☛ Ansible_Dry_Run:_How_to_Run_Playbook_in_“Check_Mode”⠀⇛ Check mode (–check) is a feature in Ansible that allows you to run playbooks without making any changes to the target systems. . * ⚓ LinuxBuz ☛ Run_a_Script_on_a_Remote_Server_with_Ansible_Script_Module⠀⇛ Automating tasks across multiple servers can be efficiently handled using Ansible. * ⚓ Net2 ☛ Linux_Processes:_A_Beginner’s_Guide_to_Understanding_& Management⠀⇛ This article introduces the concept of processes in Linux, exploring fundamental aspects of process handling and management through practical, command-line examples.

This long time favorite application of us, also known as GIMP, is in rapid development stages and the Release Candidate or RC versions are already available for us to download and test (and report bug if we found any issue). As a part of the happy news, now GIMP 3.0 is officially available also as AppImage! For that reason, we can try it out as quickly as downloading and double-clicking it without removing the existing version installed. While we're all waiting for GIMP 3.0 RC to finally reach 3.0 stable, now let's start trying it out! * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Create_your_own_Raspberry_Pi_powered_home_VOIP_service with_Mumble⠀⇛ The project that I have in mind uses Mumble, an open source, low-latency high quality voice chat application. Mumble has been used to provide clear communication for gamers and workers for well over a decade. Best of all, it needs very little system resources, so the single core Arm 700MHz CPU in my Raspberry Pi 1 is more than enough for a small Mumble server on my home network. After five hours of use it only used 29MB of RAM and 3.3% of CPU resources.

This setup requires almost no maintenance other than updating HAProxy and FreeBSD, and requesting new TLS certificates from time to time. If one of the two reverse proxies goes down, it is unlikely that you will notice it, so setting up some sort of monitoring is recommended, but not required. If you are comfortable with managing your reverse proxy via SSH and not using a fancy WebUI, I recommend giving this a try :) * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Steam_Deck_update_gets_a_small_battery_life_boost with_the_Frame_Limiter⠀⇛ Valve released a new Steam Deck Beta Client update for February 14th, showing the love to battery life with a little extra juice.
