The X8390ABV4 MediaTek Development Board includes Gigabit Ethernet, dual-band Wi-Fi, and multiple multimedia interfaces, making it applicable for AI and IoT applications. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ PiKVM_Switch_Multiport_Extender:_Manage_Up_to_20_Systems from_a_Single_PiKVM⠀⇛ The PiKVM Switch Multiport Extender expands a single PiKVM unit’s control to multiple computers through a web-based interface. Each unit supports four systems, with the option to daisy-chain up to five extenders for managing up to twenty targets. It integrates with the PiKVM interface, enabling centralized control and real-time monitoring of system connections and ATX power management. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ T-Connect-Pro:_An_ESP32-S3_Based_Industrial Communication_Module⠀⇛ LILYGO recently introduced the T-Connect-Pro, a communication module built around the ESP32-S3-R8 microcontroller.

The reason for doing it now, is that I usually do not have a remote IP console (KVM) to that physical server which is located in a US datacenter whereas I live in Europe. * ⚓ Eric Hameleers ☛ Taking_over_maintenance_of_slackpkg+⠀⇛ Hi all, At least temporarily I am going to take over the maintenance of slackpkg+, the extension to slackpkg which allows you to manage the installation and upgrade of Slackware packages from 3rd-party repositories.

Jeffrey Osier-Mixon proposed a RISC-V Datacenter SIG. This is under active discussion. One alternative is to do the RISC-V work in the existing ISA SIG. * ⚓ Cockpit_Project:_Cockpit_334⠀⇛ Cockpit is the modern_GNU/Linux_admin_interface. Here are the release notes from cockpit-files 17: § Files: Apple-compatible keyboard shortcuts Cockpit Files now properly supports command-based keyboard shortcuts, also known by the ⌘ symbol, fitting in better with macOS and portable Fashion Company Apple devices using a paired keyboard. * ⚓ Remi Collet ☛ Remi_Collet:_🎲_PHP_version_8.3.18RC1_and_8.4.5RC1⠀⇛ Release Candidate versions are available in the testing repository for Fedora and Enterprise Linux (RHEL / CentOS / Alma / Rocky and other clones) to allow more people to test them.

Container Structure Tests have been designed for this purpose. * ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ The_FOSS_Force_Almost_Open_Tech_News_Quiz_(2/28/25)⠀⇛ How well did you pay attention to tech news this week? Here's your chance to check in and check yourself out. This week there are 10 questions. How will you score? * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ Adding_curl_release_candidates⠀⇛ Decades ago we sometimes did release candidates, but we stopped. We have instead shipped daily snapshots, which is basically what a release would look like, packaged every day and made available. In theory this should remove the need and use of release candidates as people can always just get the latest snapshots, try those out and report problems back to us. We are also acutely aware of the fact that only releases get tested properly. o ⚓ Joey Hess ☛ Joey_Hess:_WASM_Wayland_Web_(WWW)⠀⇛ So there are only 2 web browser engines, and it seems likely there will soon only be 1, and making a whole new web browser from the ground up is effectively impossible because the browsers vendors have weaponized web standards complexity against any newcomers. Maybe eventually someone will succeed and there will be 2 again. Best case. What a situation. So throw out all the web standards. Make a browser that just runs WASM blobs, and gives them a surface to use, sorta like Wayland does. It has tabs, and a throbber, and urls, but no HTML, no javascript, no CSS. Just HTTP of WASM blobs. * § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ o ⚓ Document Foundation ☛ Creating_Reusable_CVs_in_LibreOffice_Writer –_A_recent_session_in_Nepal⠀⇛ The Nepalese community mentored CS50 students in Nepal create their very first resume for securing internships! Our Nepalese community writes… LibreOffice is a powerful open source office suite for many users worldwide. One of the major components is the word processing software, LibreOffice Writer, which is a highly effective tool for all levels of users. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ RIPE ☛ Local_Hosts_for_RIPE_NCC_Training_Courses⠀⇛ With this in mind, a big part of what makes it possible for us to carry out as many in-person training courses as we do is the support we receive from local hosts - organisations from across our service region who provide venues for training events and help us engage much more effectively with members and local communities. It’s thanks to their help that we’re able to offer such a variety of in-person courses without exceeding our training budget. o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Better_documentation_for_R-universe!⠀⇛ Thanks to funding by Google Season of Docs, we were able to start a new comprehensive documentation project for all users and developers of R-universe. We established a central place where we collect the various sources of information and describe examples and use cases, using popular authoring tools to support collective maintenance. * § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ o ⚓ Wired ☛ DOGE's_[sic]_Misplaced_War_on_Software_Licenses⠀⇛ In other cases, suppliers may require agencies to buy a bundle of tools to get access to one they really need, according to Ryan Triplette, executive director of the Coalition for Fair Software Licensing, an advocacy group of software developers and private sector purchasers fighting what they view as restrictive terms. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 635 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/01/Games_Pharaoh_Godot_Oldies_and_ScummVM.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/01/Games_Pharaoh_Godot_Oldies_and_ScummVM.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Pharaoh, Godot, Oldies, and ScummVM⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 01, 2025 * ⚓ Dedoimedo ☛ How_to_play_Pharaoh_city-building_game_on_HD_screens_in Linux⠀⇛ Just a few days ago, I showed you how to set up Caesar III, bought from GOG, in Linux. While technically the game isn't supported on Linux, it works great. Not only that, you can also use the amazing, amazing Julius program to run Caesar III in HD. You get to enjoy one of the finest games ever made on modern hardware, you get to do it with style. But Pharaoh does not have its Julius equivalent. So what then? Well, let me show you. * ⚓ Linus Åkesson ☛ Nine_Explained⠀⇛ I mention sprite DMA timing a couple of times, and the need to stabilize it. What does that mean? DMA stands for Direct Memory Access. On every rasterline, up to eight sprites may be enabled, and the video chip fetches the pixels for these sprites by momentarily pausing the CPU in order to access memory directly. In a word, the VIC chip steals clock cycles from the CPU. Depending on which sprites are active, different cycles are stolen. * ⚓ Godot Engine ☛ Release_candidate:_Godot_4.4_RC_3⠀⇛ We said "final" for the previous release candidate, but good things come in threes, don't they? * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Which_Linux_Distro_Do_You_Recommend_to_Gamers?⠀⇛ Gaming on Linux is a niche but growing world, especially with the arrival of the Steam Deck. In fact, read discussion boards and you'll learn the Steam Deck has turned a lot of people into Linux fans, or at least Linux-curious people. If someone wants to start using Linux as a desktop and plans to do a lot of gaming on it, which Linux distribution would you recommend to them? * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Minigalaxy_Update_Brings_Easy_Classic_Windows_Gaming_to Linux⠀⇛ The team behind Minigalaxy, a custom Good Old Games (GOG) client for Linux, has dropped a new update with a number of tweaks and an upgrade to the Windows game installation experience. * § Old or Emulation⠀➾ o ⚓ ScummVM ☛ ScummVM_has_been_accepted_to_the_Surveillance_Giant Google_Summer_of_Code_2025⠀⇛ Good news: We've been accepted again to the Google_Summer of_Code program! So, if you feel adventurous (or RPGous) and would like to spend your summer with the cool team, we look forward to your application. Fear not—we will provide enough handholding, explanations, and support if you can dedicate time to coding on our project, are an open-minded developer ready to learn, and do not hesitate to ask any questions. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 732 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/01/Games_Steam_Civilization_VII_California_Fire_Relief_Bundle_and_.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/01/Games_Steam_Civilization_VII_California_Fire_Relief_Bundle_and_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Steam, Civilization VII, California Fire Relief Bundle, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 01, 2025 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ HASTE:_Broken_Worlds_is_a_speedrunning_Sonic-like platformer_from_Landfall_with_a_demo_up_now⠀⇛ Gotta go fast?

Then we'll upgrade the entire cluster in place from Postgres 16 to Postgres 17. We'll demonstrate that even while bringing individual nodes down for the major version upgrade, the cluster overall will remain available for reads and writes. There may be nuances to your particular environment (additional extensions, permissions, etc.) that I'm ignoring in this post to focus on the simple and happy path. I'm demonstrating this on a fresh Debian 12 machine. * ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ CloudNativePG_1.25.1_and_1.24.3_Released!⠀⇛ The CloudNativePG Community is pleased to announce the release of the CloudNativePG Operator versions 1.25.1 and 1.24.3.

This article defines loop unrolling formally (removing common misconceptions of the topic), shows how loop unrolling was applied to a testing framework (using program-proving techniques as well), in line with our test-and-proofs work of the past several years), and presents detailed empirical evidence about the effect on finding bugs. * ⚓ Shadaj Laddad ☛ Distributed_Systems_Programming_Has_Stalled⠀⇛ If you look online, there are tons of frameworks for writing distributed code. In this blog post, I’ll make the case that they only offer band-aids and sugar over three fixed underlying paradigms: external-distribution, static-location, and arbitrary-location. We’re still missing a programming model that is native to distributed systems. We’ll walk through these paradigms then reflect on what’s missing for a truly distributed programming model. * ⚓ Phoebe ☛ Type-Flexible_Matrices⠀⇛ In my university course for linear algebra we were tasked with a group project and part of the project was to implement and benchmark various matrix operations.

It seems golang shared libraries don’t_play_well with programs that fork(). As a result, the Plugin was only usable if nbdkit was run in foreground mode (-f), making it impossible to use nbdkit’s’ captive modes, which are quite useful.. Lessons learned. * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Fix_orange-ball_install_as_root⠀⇛ EasyOS has "orange ball" menu entries, apps that are not yet installed. Alfons reported that installed Aqemu, but at the final step where the Orange Installer offered to open Rox-Filer to be able to drag the icon onto the desktop, there was an error "Directory /home/aqemu not found". * ⚓ Linux Host Support ☛ Puppet_Server_configuration_on_Ubuntu_24.04⠀⇛ Puppet is a popular open-source tool for managing and automating your infrastructure. It uses Infrastructure-as-code IaC and key concepts incorporating Idempotency, Agile methodology, and version control Git. This guide walks you through the installation and configuration of Puppet Server on Ubuntu 24.04. * ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ LHB_GNU/Linux_Digest_#25.04:_Self-host_VPN,_Swap_Size Change,_Crontab_Logs_and_More⠀⇛ Starting a career with Linux? What are your choices? * ⚓ How_to_Enable_SSH_on_Ubuntu⠀⇛ As a Ubuntu user, you're likely no stranger to the Linux and open-source software world. But have you ever needed to access your Ubuntu system from another device, perhaps to manage files, run commands, or troubleshoot issues? That's where SSH (Secure Shell) comes in, a powerful tool that lets you access your system remotely and securely. SSH (Secure Shell) is a protocol that allows you to access a computer or server remotely, using a secure and encrypted connection. Think of it like a secure tunnel between your local device and your Ubuntu system, allowing you to send and receive data securely. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2516 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/01/today_s_howtos.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/01/today_s_howtos.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 01, 2025 * ⚓ TecMint ☛ Linux_Problem-Solving_Scenarios:_Real-World_Challenges_& Solutions⠀⇛ This guide presents real-world Linux problem-solving scenarios along with step-by-step solutions, which are common among system administrators, developers, and everyday Linux users. * ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Fish_Shell_on_Rocky_GNU/Linux_9⠀⇛ Rocky GNU/Linux 9 is a robust and reliable GNU/Linux distribution, offering users a stable platform for various computing needs. One way to enhance your command-line experience on Rocky GNU/Linux is by installing the Fish Shell, known for its user-friendly features like syntax highlighting and autosuggestions. * ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Apache_Subversion_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Apache Subversion on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Apache Subversion (often abbreviated as SVN) is a powerful and widely-used version control system that enables developers, teams, and businesses to track changes in files and directories. * ⚓ Tyler Thorsted ☛ LUTS⠀⇛ LUTs are short for Look-Up Tables, which doesn’t sound as exciting as you were probably hoping. They are a pretty interesting process for dealing with color in high end Image and Video processing applications. Often called 3D Look-up Tables, they are used for color grading, an essential step in film production and restoration to map from one color space to another. LUTs are not to be confused with ICC profiles which aim for color accuracy, while LUTs are looking for more color quality and aesthetics. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Using_Netplan_to_set_up_WireGuard_on_Ubuntu 22.04_works,_but_has_warts⠀⇛ For reasons outside the scope of this entry, I recently needed to set up WireGuard on an Ubuntu 22.04 machine. When I did this before for an IPv6 gateway, I used systemd-networkd directly. This time around I wasn't going to set up a single peer and stop; I expected to iterate and add peers several times, which made netplan's ability to update and re-do your network configuration look attractive. Also, our machines are already using Netplan for their basic network configuration, so this would spare my co-workers from having to learn about systemd- networkd. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2593 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/01/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/01/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 01, 2025 § GNU/Linux⠀➾ * § Kernel Space⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ McKenney:_Speaking_at_Kernel_Recipes⠀⇛ Paul McKenney has put together a series of articles on how to improve one's ability to give a good talk at a technical conference.

The first-person shooter was an instant hit upon its mrelease at the end of 1993. It was soon ported off the PC platform to a number of consoles with varying success. Fast forward a few years, and it became a meme. People were porting Doom to everything from thermostats to car stereos and even inside Microsoft Word itself. * § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ o § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ Felipe_Borges:_GNOME_is_participating_in_Surveillance_Giant Google_Summer_of_Code_2025!⠀⇛ The Surveillance Giant Google Summer of Code 2025 mentoring organizations have just been announced and we are happy that GNOME’s participation has been accepted! * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § PCLinuxOS/Mageia/Mandriva/OpenMandriva Family⠀➾ # ⚓ PCLOS Official ☛ PCLinuxOS_Recent_Updates⠀⇛ o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Peter 'CzP' Czanik ☛ Idea_from_FOSDEM:_Power_11_Hey_Hi_(AI) workstation⠀⇛ During CES Nvidia announced a new Hey Hi (AI) desktop supercomputer: Project_DIGITS.

Any business or team that works with data needs to be thinking about how data moves from one place to the next. This often happens multiple times, continuously, and in multiple different streams. # ⚓ Rlang ☛ Building_LLM-Powered_Applications_with_Shiny for_Python:_Practical_Insights⠀⇛ At Appsilon, we’ve been integrating Large Language Models into Shiny for Python applications for a while now.
