Ubuntu with Gnome is one of the most reliable, seamless, and easy-to-learn Linux distros. It's a great place to start if you're currently using Windows, though Linux Mint, Fedora, and Pop!_OS. Most of these Linux operating systems can even be booted from a USB drive without affecting your Windows installation. This way, you can run everything from the USB stick and test out the OS. It won't be as rapid as when stored on an SSD, but it's a good way to see how easy Linux is to use.

that provides reliable and secure transfer of critical files. WS_FTP Professional is proprietary software and is not available for Linux. We recommend the best free and open source alternatives. * ⚓ xdotool_-_fake_keyboard/mouse_input,_window_management_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ With xdotool, you can search for windows and move, resize, hide, and modify window properties like the title. If your window manager supports it, you can use xdotool to switch desktops, move windows between desktops, and change the number of desktops. This tool does not work with Wayland. xdotool is free and open source software. * ⚓ Bambu_Studio_-_3D_printing_slicing_software_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ It contains project-based workflows, systematically optimized slicing algorithms, and an easy-to-use graphic interface, bringing users an incredibly smooth printing experience. Bambu Studio is based on PrusaSlicer, which is based on Slic3r. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ BLE_Serial_-_RFCOMM_for_BLE_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ It fulfills the same purpose as rfcomm bind for the old Bluetooth 2.0, creating a virtual serial port in /dev/pts/x, which makes it usable with any terminal or application. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ movie-cli_-_obtain_information_about_movies_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ movie-cli is a CLI tool for getting information about a movies and comparing two movies.

It certainly doesn’t hurt to think big when it comes to AI. The opportunities that this technology promises are huge. Customers are entirely justified in having bold, ambitious plans to capture those opportunities.  * ⚓ Fedora Project ☛ Fedora_Community_Blog:_Packit_as_Fedora_dist-git_CI: Phase_1_completed⠀⇛ Hello Fedora Community, We are excited to share an update on the Packit_as_Fedora_dist- git_CI_change_proposal. This initiative aims to transition Fedora dist-git CI to a Packit-based solution, deprecating Fedora CI and Fedora Zuul Tenant. The change affects the triggering and reporting mechanism for tests but does not alter the tests themselves or the test execution service (Testing Farm). The transition will be gradual, allowing maintainers to try the integration out, provide feedback and catch issues early. You can read more about the benefits and why we are doing this in the_proposal. * ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ IBM’s_Hey_Hi_(AI)_strategy:_From_ecosystem collaboration_to_AI-native_products [Ed: Pure garbage and dumb buzzwords promoted for IBM on IBM's payrolls (they pay this site for it)]⠀⇛ IBM Corp. is embracing artificial intelligence as part of a broader ecosystem strategy, recognizing that businesses need flexibility in how they adopt and deploy AI-native solutions across different platforms. * ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ How_e&_and_I.C.B.M._are_shaping_the_future_of_Hey_Hi_ (AI)_and_FinTech_innovation [Ed: And more paid-for garbage of IBM, disguised thinly as "news"]⠀⇛ The telecommunications industry is rapidly evolving beyond its traditional role of providing connectivity. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 454 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/05/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/05/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 05, 2025 * ⚓ Libre Arts ☛ librearts_Weekly_recap_—_2_March_2025⠀⇛ Week highlights: CMYK image mode is WIP in GIMP, new release of LSP plugins, great changes in Inkscape, Friction, and FreeCAD. * ⚓ EFF ☛ Meet_Rayhunter:_A_New_Open_Source_Tool_from_EFF_to_Detect Cellular_Spying⠀⇛ CSS (also known as Stingrays or IMSI catchers) are devices that masquerade as legitimate cell-phone towers, tricking phones within a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower. CSS operate by conducting a general search of all cell phones within the device’s radius. Law enforcement use CSS to pinpoint the location of phones often with greater accuracy than other techniques such as cell site location information (CSLI) and without needing to involve the phone company at all. CSS can also log International Mobile Subscriber Identifiers (IMSI numbers) unique to each SIM card, or hardware serial numbers (IMEIs) of all of the mobile devices within a given area. Some CSS may have advanced features allowing law enforcement to intercept communications in some circumstances. * ⚓ [Repeat] Linuxiac ☛ Thunderbird_136_Now_Available_for_Download,_Here’s What’s_New⠀⇛ Mozilla has just unveiled Thunderbird version 136 of its widely adopted free and open-source desktop email client, now available for download. One highlight of the new release is the ability for messages to automatically switch to dark mode with a simple toggle in the header. * ⚓ Thunderbird ☛ Thunderbird_Release_Channel_Update_-_The_Thunderbird Blog⠀⇛ The monthly Release channel is ready to help you move from annual to monthly updates in Thunderbird. This update lets you know how to switch from the annual update (ESR) to monthly updates (Release), why you might have to wait, and what features you’ll get first! * ⚓ [Repeat] Linuxiac ☛ KeePassXC_2.7.10_Brings_Proton_Pass_Importer⠀⇛ The most striking change in this release is the brand-new Proton Pass importer, which streamlines the migration process for those switching from Proton Pass. Equally significant—and one of the most requested features—users can now adjust the application font size for better on-screen readability. * ⚓ Remkus de Vries ☛ A_New_Home_for_All_Things_Within_WordPress⠀⇛ However… when I chose that, I also knew that if Within WordPress became successful, I would want that branding to live on its own. When I later added a podcast to the Within WordPress brand, it made even more sense to offload to a separate domain. In my head, that is. You see, I’m a big fan of separation of concerns. That means, I have separate email addresses for all my (side) projects, as well as domains. That’s how my brain works. This separation of concerns also finds its way in how I see branding as a whole. Everything separated just makes more sense to me. In other words, I like a House of Brands versus a Branded House. * § Openwashing⠀➾ o ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Open-source_vector_database_Qdrant_expands enterprise_cloud_Hey_Hi_(AI)_features [Ed: Open-source with a dash and "cloud Hey Hi (AI) features" means openwashing with buzzwords, false marketing in a nutshell]⠀⇛ High-performance open-source vector database Qdrant has added new enterprise-level security and management tools to its cloud offering, allowing companies to deploy and scale up artificial intelligence applications. o ⚓ Harish Pillay ☛ Running_for_a_seat_at_the_Open_Source Initiative⠀⇛ I have been accepted as a candidate to be elected to the Board of the Open Source Initiative under the Individual Members category. If you are a member of the Open Source Initiative, I would be delighted if you would cast your vote in my favour. * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ Quentin Santos ☛ IndexedDB_is_Weird⠀⇛ With JavaScript being single-threaded, a blocking API would mean fully blocking the page, render and basic user interaction included, while the request is being processed. Although this is apparently good-enough for JSON.parse(), the W3C decided to make the IndexedDB API non-blocking. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ Tor ☛ Tor_Project's_internship_sponsored_by_Google_Summer_of_Code |_The_Tor_Project⠀⇛ For the Tor community, participating in GSoC is invaluable: it brings new contributors into our ecosystem, strengthens the broader open-source movement, and ensures mentorship opportunities for those interested in privacy and anonymity tools. The program removes financial barriers for participants by offering stipends, making it easier for people worldwide to contribute. Between now and March 23rd, we welcome questions from prospective applicants about Tor and the projects ideas we prepared. If you're interested, please reach out to gsoc at torproject dot org for any questions or comments. Applications will be open from March 24th to April 8th 2025. o ⚓ Jamie Brandon ☛ HYTRADBOI_2025_postmortem⠀⇛ I didn't have a call for talks this time.

Something rather special has come our way from [Camerdactyl], who hasn’t merely made a camera, instead he’s created an entirely new analogue film format. Move over 35mm and 120, here’s the RA-4 cartridge! o ⚓ Jan Piet Mens ☛ A_look_at_DNS_hosting_with_deSEC⠀⇛ Zones in deSEC profit from support for automatic DNSSEC (meaning it’s there whether you need it or not). The platform supports an array of record types, sports a Web interface and a very well documented REST API, offers IPv6 connectivity, enables 2FA with TOTP tokens, and even provides dynDNS integration should you need it. I’ve known of deSEC for a while now, but an interaction on the Fediverse last night prompted me to finally take a closer look. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 650 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/05/Games_Absolum_Studio_Fizbin_Acclaim_Entertainment_and_More.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/05/Games_Absolum_Studio_Fizbin_Acclaim_Entertainment_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Absolum, Studio Fizbin, Acclaim Entertainment, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 05, 2025 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Absolum_is_a_beat_'em_up_RPG_from_the_makers_of_Streets of_Rage_4_and_TMNT_Shredder's_Revenge⠀⇛ Pulling together the teams behind hits like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge and Streets of Rage 4, today we have an exciting reveal of Absolum.

(Recent heat waves have been hard to endure, both for people and for hardware devices.) That got it kicked out of the RAID1 with a larger external disk, and the system kept on running, as expected. Today I set out to bring them back in sync, so I rebooted the machine. That's generally much easier than figuring out exactly how to get the failed devices unused and removed, and then bringing them back up manually. [...] The attempt to use the BIOS's copy of GRUB to cryptomount both devices failed. There's something about that GRUB that's unable to bring up the external disk's encrypted volume. Maybe I'm missing some module or something. To be investigated once the crisis is addressed.

Zorin and Linux Mint are good examples, each giving a choice of Gnome- or Xfce-based ISOs. Debian with Raspberry Desktop, which closely resembles Raspberry Pi OS, is different. Available for PCs after a decade as the default OS for the eponymous single-board computer, it uses neither Gnome nor Xfce, but PIXEL, the Pi Improved Xwindows Environment, Lightweight, which itself is based on the lightweight LDXE desktop manager. Don’t let the “lightweight” moniker put you off. PIXEL sports many features familiar from rival environments, including a menu bar, application menu, desktop icons and context menus. It does lack some frills, though. There are no widgets, as there are in Mint, you can’t snap windows to the edges of the screen for easy arrangement, and it lacks Zorin’s visual flair.

It was originally a spin-off of Red Hat Linux, but the tables have been turned and it now forms the basis of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS Stream. Of the five versions on offer, we reviewed the desktop build, which sits alongside server, cloud, containerized and IoT editions. Each release receives support for 13 months, with version 40 scheduled to appear in April 2024, and build 39 reaching end of life in November 2024. Fedora has a free-to-download media creation tool, much like Microsoft’s equivalent for Windows, and the Raspberry Pi imager for the single-board computers.

Still, I'm not sure what kind of system I want to run. But now I have choices. I could run a totally open source system (one of the reasons I chose AMD). I am currently on the Gnome Shell version of Fedora. Even the fingerprint reader works, along with the camera and mic (which offer physical buttons to turn them off). It's lovely stuff, support that is not always easy to find. Another reason I don't mind paying a premium for a machine I control. I also tested KDE on Fedora and installed all the proprietary goodies I could find, like third-party repositories like rpmfusion, ensuring I had hardware acceleration and could play whatever codecs crossed my path. It took a little bit of work and the help of a handy guide, but I tamed KDE into a setup that competes with the versatility of Windows. Whether I go with Gnome Shell or KDE, I can't go wrong, which is the point of this experiment. I'm again participating in how my hardware and software run, not with a stationary desktop but a portable 14-inch laptop. That kind of novelty, on top of versatility, is why I love tech.

AI is slowly making its way into computer and smartphone devices, and the Linux OS is no exception. However, AI is still not mainstream. This typically takes various forms, such as smarter system management tools, enhanced command-line interfaces, and even some experimental desktop features. Some Linux distributions dabble more in AI than others, offering a subtle focus on performance and resource management and integrating AI into the desktop. However, Jacque Montague Raymer, developer of MakuluLinux, goes far beyond any AI subtleties.

When Motorola designed the 6809 assembler, they made a distinction between the use of n,PC and n,PCR in the indexing mode. Both of those make a reference based off the PC register, but in assembly language they defined, using n,PC means use the literal value of n as the distance, whereas n,PCR means generate the distance between n and the current value of the PC register. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ A_lightweight_file_server_running_entirely_on_an_Arduino_Nano ESP32⠀⇛ An ESP32 is a microcontroller with built-in connectivity (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth).

Zombieschannel’s project proves that the Arduino Nano ESP32 is suitable for a file server — if your expectations are modest. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1234 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/05/Open_source_funding_on_the_brink_Delivering_what_s_needed_to_ma.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/05/Open_source_funding_on_the_brink_Delivering_what_s_needed_to_ma.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open source funding on the brink: 'Delivering what’s needed to make Europe sovereign'⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 05, 2025 The EU is paying a fortune for broken commercial software, criticizes Michiel Leenaars of the Dutch NLnet Foundation in an interview with netzpolitik.org.

This means we cannot implement Iterator for u32, but we can implement Iterator for MyType, and we can implement MyTrait for u32.1 The former is very common, either through the derive macro like #[derive (Copy, Clone, Debug)], or explicitly like when we implement Display for a type. * ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ #46:_Adding_arm64_to_r2u⠀⇛ r2u, introduced less than three years ago in post #37, has become a runaway success. When I last tabulated downloads in early January, we were already at 33 million downloads of binary CRAN packages across the three Ubuntu LTS releases we support. These were exclusively for the ‘amd64’ platform of standard (Intel or AMD made) x64_64 cpus. Now we are happy to announce that arm64 support has been added and is available! * ⚓ Bertrand Meyer ☛ Blog_Archive_New_preprint:_Lessons_from_Formally Deployed_Software_Systems⠀⇛ The paper resulted from an attempt to identify as many such formally-verified systems actually deployed in industry as possible. Some of the projects were selected thanks to a questionnaire that we sent out to many forums; others were found through a variety of sources. Out of many initially identified projects the articles covers 32; other than interest and relevance, the criteria for selection included our ability to find detailed information about them and verify that information. Whenever possible we used published accounts, but for some of the most interesting systems deployed in industry little is available in the literature; we only retained those for which we could get and validate information from the projects themselves, over the course of many interactions. * ⚓ Chloé Vulquin ☛ Floating_Points_&_Boxes⠀⇛ Computers deal with numbers, big and small, but must do this with real-world constraints (how big your CPU registers are, and how big your RAM is). As a consequence, CPUs tend to understand two types of numbers natively. The first, called integers, are perfectly accurate, and represent a whole number (either exclusively positive, named unsigned integers, or both positive and negative, named signed integers, or just “integers”). These have a strict size limit of 2 to the power of the size of the register (so on most modern CPUs, 2^64 for unsigned integers). The second can represent partial numbers and numbers that are bigger than this, at the cost of (potentially) losing precision. These are called floating point numbers, and are defined by the IEEE 754 specification. There’s a bunch of explanations online about how floating points ACTUALLY work internally, but basically none of them that I’ve read have went into the kind of detail I wanted. I wanted1 to understand them well enough I could implement them in software, and know how I can manipulate them safely. I got there! The goal of this post is to get you there, without needing to buy a copy of the standard. * ⚓ Fabian Sanglard ☛ Why_fastDOOM_is_fast⠀⇛ Before digging into fastDOOM, let's understand where the code comes from. DOOM was originally developed on NeXT Workstation. The game was structured to be easy to port with most of the code in a core surrounded by small sub-systems performing I/O. * ⚓ Zig ☛ Devlog_⚡_Zig_Programming_Language⠀⇛ Lately, I've been extensively working with C interop, and one thing that's been sorely missing is clear error messages from UBSan. When compiling C with zig cc, Zig provides better defaults, including implicitly enabling -fsanitize=undefined. This has been great for catching subtle bugs and makes working with C more bearable. However, due to the lack of a UBSan runtime, all undefined behavior was previously caught with a trap instruction. * ⚓ Michal Měchura ☛ Falsehoods_programmers_believe_about_languages⠀⇛ I can’t believe nobody has done this list yet. I mean, there is one about names, one about time and many others on other topics, but not one about languages yet (except one honorable mention that comes close). So, here’s my attempt to list all the misconceptions and prejudices I’ve come across in the course of my long and illustrious career in software localisation and language technology. Enjoy – and send me your own ones! * ⚓ Geoffrey Litt ☛ Avoid_the_nightmare_bicycle⠀⇛ In my opinion, one of the most important ideas in product design is to avoid the “nightmare bicycle”. Imagine a bicycle where the product manager said: “people don’t get math so we can’t have numbered gears. We need labeled buttons for gravel mode, downhill mode, …” * ⚓ Andy_Wingo:_whippet_lab_notebook:_on_untagged_mallocs⠀⇛ Salutations, populations. Today’s note is more of a work-in- progress than usual; I have been finally starting to look at getting Whippet into Guile, and there are some open questions. § inventory⠀➾ I started by taking a look at how Guile uses the Boehm-Demers- Weiser_collector‘s Hey Hi (AI) to make sure I had all my bases covered for an eventual switch to something that was not BDW. I think I have a good overview now, and have divided the parts of BDW-GC used by Guile into seven categories. * § Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ MacVim_now_has_fancy_tabs⠀⇛ I like them! They give me 1990s Lotus SmartSuite vibes somehow. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Sparrowdo ☛ No_code_CI_for_Raku_modules_–_Sparrowdo⠀⇛ Hey, community! CI has always been an essential part of module development. However we are “lazy” and “busy” and … whatever … ) So, why spent time on it if there is already free and no code CI system to use – https:// sparky.sparrowhub.io o ⚓ DEV Community ☛ Sourcing:_Part_1_–_Exploring_Event_Sourcing_in Raku_-_DEV_Community⠀⇛ I’ve been studying a very interesting approach to building systems called Event Sourcing. In event sourcing, every change to an application’s state is captured as an immutable event. Instead of storing only the current state, you persist a sequence of events that record all the actions that have taken place. This approach not only allows for an accurate reconstruction of the system state by replaying events but also provides a robust audit log and improves debugging and analysis capabilities. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Python ☛ The_features_of_Python's_help()_function⠀⇛ Let's take a look at all 6 uses of help. We'll start with the most common 3 uses: functions, modules, and all other objects. o ⚓ Noë Flatreaud ☛ Real-time_notifications_with_Flask_and_Server- Sent_Events_(SSE)⠀⇛ Server-Sent Events (SSE) offer a straightforward way to push real-time updates from a server to a client. Unlike WebSockets, which enable two-way communication, SSE is designed for one-way communication from the server to the client. This makes SSE an excellent choice for applications that need to send notifications, updates, or messages to clients without full-duplex connections. If you need to implement real time notifications in Flask by hand, you might find this post relevant. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1478 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/05/RK3566_Credit_Card_Sized_SBC_with_M_2_Expansion_and_4K_Video_Su.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/05/RK3566_Credit_Card_Sized_SBC_with_M_2_Expansion_and_4K_Video_Su.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ RK3566 Credit Card-Sized SBC with M.2 Expansion and 4K Video Support⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 05, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇G3566_Single_Board_Computer⦈_ Quoting: RK3566 Credit Card-Sized SBC with M.2 Expansion and 4K Video Support — The SBC supports multiple operating systems, including Android 12, Linux, Ubuntu, and Debian, providing flexibility for various development environments.

The goal is to move these files to a folder on my local machine, which I can then access using Obsidian. Local-first, file over app! If Obsidian ever disappears, then at least I’ll still have my Markdown files. Like with most things I build, I doing this with Hugo, because it’s great at generating markdown files from a variety of data sources. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ If_you_get_the_chance,_always_run_more_extra network_fiber_cabling⠀⇛ Some day, you may be in an organization that's about to add some more fiber cabling between two rooms in the same building, or maybe two close by buildings, and someone may ask you for your opinion about many fiber pairs should be run. My personal advice is simple: run more fiber than you think you need, ideally a bunch more (this generalizes to network cabling in general, but copper cabling is a lot more bulky and so harder to run (much) more of). THere is an unreasonable amount of fiber to run, but mostly it comes up when you'd have to put in giant fiber patch panels. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_ELK_Stack_on_Manjaro⠀⇛ Centralized logging has become an essential component of modern system administration and application development.

[Dakhnod]’s inventive solution is a mix of GRUB, Wake-on-LAN (WOL), and a lightweight ESP8266 running a simple HTTP server. In the past, [dakhnod] already enlightened us with another smart ESP hack. This one’s a clever combination of network booting and remote control that opens up possibilities beyond the usual dual-boot selector. [...] For those looking to take it further, using configfile instead of source allows for more dynamic menu entries, although it won’t persist environment variables. You could even combine it with this RasPi hack to control the uptime of the HTTP server. The balance between convenience and security is yours to strike. * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ FOSDEM_2025,_A_Hardware_Hacker’s_Haven⠀⇛ Have you been to FOSDEM?

This had the desired effect of focusing on those people who are actively involved and let the others start getting DNS failures without bothering my servers. Win-win! Anyway, this means we now have about 45 days of data to look at, and it's possible to build a report based on the latest observed behaviors. * ⚓ James G ☛ Noticing⠀⇛ Many of the changes I have made to Artemis, the calm web reader I maintain, come after noticing points of friction in my use of the software. Here are a few observations I have made that have guided some recent changes to the tool: [...] o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Firefox_Nightly:_High_Profile_Improvements_–_These_Weeks_in Firefox:_Issue_176⠀⇛ # ⚓ Tor ☛ New_Release:_Tor_Browser_14.0.7_|_The_Tor_Project⠀⇛ Tor Browser 14.0.7 is now available from the Tor Browser download page and also from our distribution directory. This version includes important security updates to Firefox. # ⚓ TuMFatig ☛ Web_Browser_in_FreeBSD_Jail:_Librewolf⠀⇛ While discovering FreeBSD Jails, I wrote on how to run a web browser inside a FreeBSD jail. Time has passed and a couple of testing later, I ended up changing a bit the way I use my Web Browser jails.

The scheduled final release date for WordPress 6.8 is April 15, 2025. Your help testing Beta and RC versions over the next six weeks is vital to ensuring the final release is everything it should be: stable, powerful, and intuitive. * ⚓ Josh Betz ☛ WordPress_Web_Performance_Optimization_–_Josh_Betz⠀⇛ Last year, I set out to see how much I could improve my site’s performance without relying on commercial performance plugins. Almost everything I’ve implemented has been completely free. The only exception is an image resizing service I host on DigitalOcean for $5/month—though I suspect the results would be similar without it. My goal was to make these optimizations accessible to anyone. Without compromising functionality, I’ve achieved a 97 on the Lighthouse performance score. Here’s how you can do it too. * ⚓ Jim Nielsen ☛ Building_Websites_With_LLMS⠀⇛ And by LLMS I mean: (L)ots of (L)ittle ht(M)l page(S). I recently shipped some updates to my blog. Through the design/ development process, I had some insights which made me question my knee-jerk reaction to building pieces of a page as JS- powered interactions on top of the existing document. With cross-document view transitions getting broader and broader support, I’m realizing that building in-page, progressively-enhanced interactions is more work than simply building two HTML pages and linking them. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2481 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 24 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
