I went from a G4 to an M4. But one thing I still want to keep up on is OpenBSD development and the happenings of the other BSDs. Having a virtualized OpenBSD/aarch64 machine is great because it gives me another platform to test ports and other things on. I do also have low- powered mini PCs running FreeBSD and OpenBSD, but those are both amd64 machines. When we ported the GNAT Ada compiler to macOS/ aarch64, we used Apple's virtualization framework in the form of VirtualBuddy. The virtualization framework says that you can run macOS or Linux on it. I have indeed gotten Debian 12.9 to run on VirtualBuddy but I find it is not as good as running in VMWare Fusion. This got me thinking: can we run any of the BSDs on the virtualization framework? ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 423 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/23/Audiocasts_Shows_This_Week_in_Linux_and_Linux_Out_Loud.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/23/Audiocasts_Shows_This_Week_in_Linux_and_Linux_Out_Loud.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Audiocasts/Shows: This Week in Linux and Linux Out Loud⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 23, 2025 * ⚓ This_Week_in_Linux_299:_Mesa_25,_Pi-hole_v6,_openSUSE,_Serpent_OS, Marvel's_Spider-Man_2_&_more_GNU/Linux_news⠀⇛ This week in Linux, we have a jam packed episode.

This has raised concerns that the company may be going through a difficult phase, with these recent changes pointing to a bigger issue. New information shared today by Game File (paywalled) has revealed even more. It seems that NetEase is indeed undergoing a major restructuring, and many of its development studios could be affected if certain conditions aren’t met. The most worrying part is that some of these studios are highly known, like Quantic Dream, the developers of Detroit: Become Human. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 878 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/23/I_m_a_Distro_Hopper_But_Here_s_Why_I_Come_Back_to_Ubuntu_Every_.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/23/I_m_a_Distro_Hopper_But_Here_s_Why_I_Come_Back_to_Ubuntu_Every_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ I'm a Distro-Hopper, But Here's Why I Come Back to Ubuntu Every Time⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Feb 23, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇ubuntu⦈_ Quoting: I'm a Distro-Hopper, But Here's Why I Come Back to Ubuntu Every Time — Everyone has a soft spot for their first. My Linux journey started with Ubuntu 20.04. I still remember the excitement of creating my first bootable Ubuntu ISO on a USB flash drive. That live environment, orange and purple, welcomed me into the world of Linux. Since then, I've tried a bunch of distros. Linux Mint, Fedora, Debian, and even some niche ones for fun. Some of them were quite impressive too. But no matter how much I enjoyed them, I always found myself coming back to Ubuntu sooner or later. Until now, I've used all the Long Term Support (LTS) versions and am still looking forward to the next release. There's something about your first distro that sticks with you. Perhaps it's nostalgia, an emotional attachment, or just the feeling of familiarity. While I love exploring new Linux distros every now and then, when it comes to daily driving, Ubuntu feels like home.

In fact, just about anyone could log into the Core desktop and immediately know what to do. There are a few distinct additions to the Makulu Linux desktop that help to make it stand out.

The most striking of them is the support of tabbed columns, which let users present windows as tabs instead of stacking them vertically. This feature is especially useful when screen space is limited or if you often switch between large windows and want to minimize scrolling. All standard navigation methods still apply, so there’s no steep learning curve. You can quickly flip through tabs using keyboard shortcuts such as focus-window-down or focus-window-up, and you can easily add or remove windows from a column.

This is done both for privacy reasons, but also for practical reasons. Managing logs for this setup is work I rather avoid to do and to pay for. What do we have, is a website that is hosted (fronted) by Fastly on their CDN network, and as part of that setup we have an admin interface that offers accumulated traffic data. We get some numbers, but without details and specifics. o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ HTTP_connections_are_part_of_the_web's long_tail⠀⇛ I recently read an article that, among other things, apparently seriously urging browser vendors to deprecate and disable plain text HTTP connections by the end of October of this year (via, and I'm deliberately not linking directly to the article).

When I opened it, I was pushed to buy an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription and both of Microsoft’s latest Copilot+ PCs, with an additional button to click, leading to an entire page of Surface accessories. All told, Microsoft pushed three separate opportunities for me to buy Surface hardware and accessories. What’s frustrating about this is that the Surface app appears to be specifically coded to allow ads. The ads popped up within the Surface app on recent devices, both on the Beta and Dev Channels. But I also hauled out the Surface Laptop Go 3, released midway through 2023 — about a year before Microsoft released its first Copilot+ PCs. * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Proton_Hotfix_updated_to_fix_Marvel_Rivals_and Indiana_Jones_on_Steam_Deck_/_Linux⠀⇛ Valve have released a fresh update to the special Proton Hotfix version.
