Ever since I began my home lab obsession, I’ve spent more time with Linux than Windows – and let me tell you, Linux distributions have some game-changing features that are severely lacking in their modern Windows counterparts.

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 18, 2025 * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ These_7_TUIs_Will_Bring_Your_Terminal_Experience_Up-to- Date⠀⇛ For any given task on Linux, there’s likely to be at least one good command-line app and one good GUI app. However, a middle- ground exists between the visual, mouse-driven GUIs and the text-heavy terminal programs. These TUI (text user interface) apps are attractive, easy to use, and very fast. * ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ HandBrake_Released_1.9.1_with_Various_Fixes_[Ubuntu PPA]⠀⇛ HandBrake video transcoder released new 1.9.1 version a few days ago. Here are the changes and native .deb packages for Ubuntu users. The new HandBrake 1.9.1 contains primarily bug- fixes. It fixed FFV1 pixel format selection when an hardware decoder is used, causing incorrect bit depth output. * ⚓ Net2 ☛ Monitor_GPU_Usage_in_Ubuntu_22.04_for_Optimal_Performance⠀⇛ Unlike Windows, Ubuntu’s default system monitoring tool does not natively display real-time GPU usage. For users seeking to monitor their graphics card utilization, this guide provides straightforward methods to achieve this. Method 1: Utilizing Mission Center (Graphical Interface) For users who prefer a visual approach, Mission Center offers a user-friendly graphical application. * ⚓ AboutChromebooks ☛ How_To_Install_Linux_Apps_on_Chromebook?⠀⇛ Chromebooks support Linux, so the Play Store isn’t the only way to get apps. Many Chrome OS devices run Linux apps, making them even more helpful. Installing a Linux app is more complicated than installing an Android app, but the process gets easier with practice. The good news is that if done right, you can use Linux without damaging your system. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 309 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/18/Audiocasts_Shows_LINUX_Unplugged_Late_Night_Linux_and_Destinati.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/18/Audiocasts_Shows_LINUX_Unplugged_Late_Night_Linux_and_Destinati.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Audiocasts/Shows: LINUX Unplugged, Late Night Linux, and Destination Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 18, 2025 * ⚓ Jupiter Broadcasting ☛ The_BSD_Humbling_|_LINUX_Unplugged_602⠀⇛ Our FreeBSD Challenge comes to a close, and chances are one of us will be paying the backdoored Windows tax. * ⚓ Late_Night_Linux_–_Episode_321⠀⇛ What if Linus Torvalds hadn’t written Linux?

A reliable, accessible modular system that communicates with clarity, purpose and precision across mediums — qualities that tie directly back to our brand values. * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ How_Ubuntu_Pro_+_Support_keeps_your_Ubuntu_20.04_LTS_secure and_stable⠀⇛ But security updates alone don’t cover everything; what happens when a package update causes unexpected behavior, a dependency breaks, or you encounter an issue that impacts operations? * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ 7_considerations_when_building_your_ML_architecture⠀⇛ Whilst it may seem that this skills gap is purely a concern from data scientists or ML engineers, in reality it affects a much wider section of your workforce than you might imagine.  Security, privacy and infrastructure are three particular areas where machine learning is reshaping processes and best practices, meaning that professionals need to reshape their skillsets and ways of working.  ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 435 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/18/Free_and_Open_Source_Software_howtos_and_Installations.1.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/18/Free_and_Open_Source_Software_howtos_and_Installations.1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software, howtos and Installations⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Feb 18, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇circuit⦈_ * ⚓ Examine_-_system_information_viewer_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Examine is a system information viewer for the COSMIC Desktop.

Downloading OCCT will soon be simpler than ever before. Currently, the Linux version of OCCT is only available to OCBASE’s Patreon members. The new Linux version has the same features as the Windows version, and the tool can be installed as a simple executable with no dependencies. Now, OCCT can be used to stress test Linux-powered servers, validating their performance and stability. In the video below, OCCT has also been shown running on Valve’s Steam Deck. Steam Deck users can try out the OCCT alpha starting today through the device’s desktop mode. The Steam version of OCCT will support Valve’s Steam Deck when it launches.

The disks are bright yellow, and come with intricate home-made jackets and labels. Sticking them into a 1541 drive does nothing, because these aren’t standard fare, instead they require GEOS and a particularly upgraded machine.

With that said, the Breeze theme no longer causes occasional crashes in non-KDE apps, KScreen Doctor now handles DPMS mode outputs more reliably, and Info Center no longer struggles with page flickering on its energy panel. Moreover, KWin, KDE’s window manager, reduces graphical glitches and polishes advanced display features like night light and offloading for HDR. Among these changes, one of the more important is a fix that ensures brightness does not ramp up unexpectedly when you enable night light. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣘⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣂⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⣲⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣞⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣟⣻⣛⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠄⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣶⣿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠉⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠋⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣤⣄⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠘⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⢤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢸⣯⣏⣉⡿⠙⣿⣚⢿⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣯⢿⠿⣿⠿⠿⠽⠽⣿⡇ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 975 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/18/Kernel_KVM_StorPool_Energy_Use_and_Asahi_Linux_Trying_Drama_by_.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/18/Kernel_KVM_StorPool_Energy_Use_and_Asahi_Linux_Trying_Drama_by_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Kernel: KVM/StorPool, Energy Use, and Asahi Linux Trying Drama by 'Brigading' in Social Control Media⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 18, 2025 * ⚓ Situation Publishing ☛ StorPool_unveils_Disaster_Recovery_Engine_for Linux_KVMs⠀⇛ StorPool is developing a Disaster Recovery Engine (DRE) for Linux-based virtual machines based on site-to-site replication between its storage arrays.

The main difference between the two is that the RoArm-M3-Pro features all-metal ST3235 bus servos for durability and longevity, on the other hand, the RoArm-M3-S uses standard servo motors which are less durable for long-term use. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ ADLINK_OSM-MTK510_–_An_OSM_Size-L_module_with_MediaTek Genio_510_Hey_Hi_(AI)_SoC,_up_to_8GB_RAM_and_128GB_eMMC_flash⠀⇛ ADLINK OSM-MTK510 is an OSM Size-L compliant module powered by a MediaTek Genio 510 hexa-core Arm Cortex-A78/A55 SoC with a 3.2 TOPS Hey Hi (AI) accelerator and equipped with up to 8GB LPDDR4 and 128GB eMMC flash.

Each of these design philosophies has its ups and downs but both tend to be rigid, offering little flexibility as the project progresses. To solve this, designers often turn to parametric design where changes to any part of the design are automatically reflected throughout the rest, offering far greater flexibility while still maintaining an overall plan. [Cal Bryant] used this parametric method to devise a new set of speakers for an office, with excellent results. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Decoy_Killswitch_Triggers_Alarm_Instead⠀⇛ There are a few vehicles on the road that are targeted often by car thieves, whether that’s because they have valuable parts, the OEM security is easily bypassed, or even because it’s an antique vehicle that needs little more than a screwdriver to get started. For those driving one of these vehicles an additional immobilization feature is often added, like a hidden switch to deactivate the fuel pump. But, in the continual arms race between thieves and car owners, this strategy is easily bypassed. [Drive Science] hopefully took one step ahead though and added a decoy killswitch instead which triggers the alarm. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ PocketBeagle_2_SBC_combines_TI_AM6232_dual-core_Cortex- A53_SoC_with_MSPM0_MCU⠀⇛ Beagleboard has recently announced the PocketBeagle 2, a single board computer (SBC) built around TI’s AM6232 dual-core Cortex- A53 and Cortex-M7 SoC and an additional MSPM0L1105 Arm Cortex- M0+ microcontroller for ADC pins and board ID storage. Designed for developers, students, and hobbyists, it’s a direct upgrade from the previous generation PocketBeagle which the company released in 2017. The new board comes with a faster dual-core 64-bit CPU (compared to a single-core CPU), faster memory (DDR4), improved power management (USB-C + LiPo charger), and easier debugging (UART + JTAG) for faster development. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1300 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/18/Open_Hardware_Raspberry_Pi_Arduino_and_More.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/18/Open_Hardware_Raspberry_Pi_Arduino_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware: Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 18, 2025 * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Fujitsu_celebrates_50_million_laptops_produced_with one-off_exquisite_kumiko_wooden_lid_model⠀⇛ The woodcraft here was undertaken by Japan's Funaki Woodworks. According to the linked report (machine translation), the work took two to three months to complete. This is an example of kumiko craftsmanship, an art established in Japan about 1,500 years ago, during the Asuka period. In the work you see, the pattern is made from 5,800 wooden pieces using four select wood species. The work was all the more difficult as the laptop lid couldn't be too thick, meaning artisan Funaki Kiyoshi had to work with wood pieces just 4mm thick. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Raspberry_Pi_powers_miniature_'Severance'_MDR computer⠀⇛ This custom PC both imitates the MDR computer from the show and works as a PC on its own.

It was littered with red colour. This was the first time I saw a human brain working as an interpreter and compiler. This was first time I’ve seen how testing works. Testing? Yes, thinking. Deep thinking actually! * ⚓ Yossi Kreinin ☛ 0+0_>_0:_C++_thread-local_storage_performance⠀⇛ We'll discuss how to make sure that your access to TLS (thread- local storage) is fast. If you’re interested strictly in TLS performance guidelines and don't care about the details, skip right to the end — but be aware that you’ll be missing out on assembly listings of profound emotional depth, which can shake even a cynical, battle-hardened programmer.

In the long ago days when I started doing this, I had a bunch of accounts on different Unixes around the university (as was the fashion at the time, especially if you were a sysadmin). So I decided that I was going to simplify my life by having one set of dotfiles for rc that I used on all of my accounts, across a wide variety of Unixes and Unix environments. That way, when I made an improvement in a shell function I used, I could get it everywhere by just pushing out a new version of my dotfiles. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1462 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/18/Red_Hat_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/18/Red_Hat_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 18, 2025 * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_securely_deploy_Microsoft's_proprietary_prison_GitHub ARC_on_OpenShift [Ed: Red Hat sees nothing wrong with proprietary things of Microsoft, including untrusted compilers the NSA controls]⠀⇛ GitHub Actions is a popular tool for developers and release engineers to run automated pipelines to test, build, and deploy application code on their environments.

I think that my favourite aspect of the book is the way that it uses stepping stones to get you through the book. Although I don’t teach anymore, I always think about the possibility of using a book as a textbook.

After all, that’s one of the best ways to learn new things and you end up improving the experience for everyone who comes behind you. However, things can get a little frustrating from time to time especially when your daily work dictates that your desktop works really well. 😉 Sway has been my desktop of choice for a few years and although it seems to work well, I ran into lots of issues with Wayland. It was easy to plot a course around most of these problems, but not all of them. * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Simple_Xcursor_Creator_PET_fixed⠀⇛ Discussion has started up in this thread about creating your own mouse pointers, using Simple Xcursor Creator (SXC): https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=9253 You will find SXC in the "Utility" menu. * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ How_to_Disable_(or_Change)_Login_Sound_in_Ubuntu_24.10⠀⇛ When you log in to Ubuntu 24.10 an audio clip plays to greet you — a lengthy audio clip that slowly builds to a plinky- plonky crescendo that you—or those around you—may tire of having to sit through! But you can turn Ubuntu’s startup sound off, or swap it for an audio clip more to your tastes. Startup and login sounds were a staple part of Ubuntu during its formative years, but the distro decided to disable them in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS after getting feedback that, actually, they can be a bit annoying. * ⚓ Net2 ☛ Monitor_and_Optimize_Memory_Usage_on_Ubuntu_22.04_for_Peak Performance⠀⇛ If you are an Ubuntu 22.04 user, appreciating its user-friendly design and robust capabilities as a popular GNU/Linux distribution, you might be interested in monitoring your system’s memory utilization to ensure optimal performance. * ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ How_to_Correctly_Install_ChromeDriver_on_Ubuntu_🐧⠀⇛ ChromeDriver is a small software that helps other programs (like Selenium) to control Surveillance Giant Google Chrome browser automatically. If you want to automate a web browser using Selenium on Ubuntu or any other system, you need ChromeDriver. * ⚓ Net2 ☛ Troubleshooting_and_Resolving_Audio_Issues_in_Ubuntu_22.04⠀⇛ Experiencing a sudden loss of audio on your Ubuntu 22.04 system can be incredibly frustrating. Imagine your music or video playback abruptly going silent! Troubleshooting sound issues on Ubuntu might seem daunting, but this guide is here to simplify the process for users of all technical levels. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Wi-Fi_Not_Working_on_Ubuntu?_Here’s_How_to_Fix_It⠀⇛ If your Ubuntu system refuses to connect to Wi-Fi, you’re not alone. Wireless issues are one of the most common frustrations we Linux users face. If your Wi-Fi isn’t showing up, keeps disconnecting, or won’t connect, there are several ways to troubleshoot and fix the problem. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2011 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/18/today_s_howtos.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/18/today_s_howtos.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 18, 2025 * ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Install_KDE_Plasma_on_Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ Linux Mint is a widely used and beginner-friendly operating system known for its simplicity, stability, and ease of use. * ⚓ Jim Nielsen ☛ Aspect_Ratio_Changes_With_CSS_View_Transitions⠀⇛ I feel like I’m 98% of the way there, I’ve just hit a small bug. It’s small. Many people might not even notice it. But I do and it’s bugging me. * ⚓ [Old] Dave Rupert ☛ Getting_started_with_View_Transitions_on_multi-page apps_-_daverupert.com⠀⇛ Spurred by last week’s ShopTalk I rolled out View Transitions here on my static Jekyll site. I hadn’t realized View Transitions for multi-page apps (MPAs) and static sites are ready for testing behind a flag in Chrome 113+. View Transitions for MPAs are a feature that’s high on my CSS wishlist, so I got to it. It took less than an hour to do, requires zero JavaScript, and two lines of CSS. I’m pleased with the results. * ⚓ James G ☛ Styling_code_snippets_on_my_website⠀⇛ The syntax highlighting used by my code snippets is generated by pygments, a Python library that lets you turn a string of code into HTML with highlighting rules that you can put on a web page. pygments has several default colour schemes you can use for code snippets. I am using default for light mode and monokai for dark mode. * ⚓ Henry Desroches ☛ How_To_Distort_Text_With_SVG_Filters⠀⇛ A lot of the SVG filter primitive content out there is some really rad, deep-dive type content (I’ll link some of these at the end!), so I reckoned it might be nice to do a quick write- up on some effects I use pretty commonly. These are more-or- less plug-and-play; simple filters for making your friends go “ooh how did u do that lmao”. * ⚓ James G ☛ Showing_different_images_in_light_mode_and_dark_mode_with_CSS media_queries⠀⇛ When designing these pages, I thought to myself: is there a way I can make the screenshots appear in light mode or dark mode depending on the user agent’s preference? This would allow the screenshots to blend in with the light and dark mode themes that Artemis supports using the prefers-color-scheme CSS media query. * ⚓ James G ☛ Designing_lists_of_inputs_with_HTML_and_CSS⠀⇛ While designing the quiz, I used two HTML elements I have not yet used: fieldset and legend.

It claimed that the origins of hacking are linked to activities like phone phreaking (exploiting phone systems), credit card fraud (carding), and the principles of anarchy (rejecting authority). The manifesto encouraged hackers to take control of the internet, which was initially developed by the military and the defence industry towards a freer and more open internet, ultimately reducing the government's control over it. The GNU Manifesto, which was released in 1985 by Richard Stallman, called for open collaboration between the developers working towards the freedom for users of software, free software distributions, and to challenge the status quo of copyright. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2707 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/18/You_Can_Now_Install_Linux_Kernel_6_13_on_Ubuntu_Here_s_How.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/18/You_Can_Now_Install_Linux_Kernel_6_13_on_Ubuntu_Here_s_How.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ You Can Now Install Linux Kernel 6.13 on Ubuntu, Here’s How⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Feb 18, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Ubuntu⦈_ Linux kernel 6.13 was released on January 19th, 2025, with new features like lazy preemption support, user-space shadow stack support for AArch64 (ARM64) via Guarded Control Stack (GCS), support for running Linux in protected virtual machines (a.k.a. realm) under the Arm CCA (Confidential Compute Architecture), support for 6-node sub-NUMA clustering on Intel, split-lock detection support for AMD CPUs, and much more.
