A slew of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS users complained that certain paired Bluetooth audio devices (mainly earbuds/phones) fail to reconnect after a system restart or suspend. Plus, for many noble users reporting bugs, even attempting to manually connect to a previously- paired device following a reboot or suspend fails to connect or stay connected thus requiring the need to remove and re-pair the device to work. * ⚓ Ubuntu Fridge ☛ The_Fridge:_Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_Issue_882⠀⇛ Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue 882 for the week of March 2 – 8 2025.

Rainmeter is one such tool, though its Windows-only restriction may sound like a downer if you prefer Linux distributions. That’s where Conky steps in with its powerful customization options, and here’s everything you need to know to integrate this neat tool into your setup. [...] Leaving the weird name aside for a minute, Conky is an ultra-lightweight system monitoring application designed to help you check your PC’s statistics in real time – on paper, that is. With the right collection of widgets, you can turn Conky into a robust customization application that can go toe-to-toe with Rainmeter. For instance, you can pair Conky with gorgeous themes to create an aesthetically pleasing Linux desktop that includes all your essential software and hardware metrics. Since the CLI-heavy nature of Conky can be rather troublesome when you're just starting out, you can use Conky Manager to make things a little easier on your part.

It’s expected to be a major milestone for Linux in 2025, making every update about it exciting news. And this one is sure to get users even more hyped. As you know, Debian isn’t just a highly reliable server OS—it also shines on the desktop, offering a rock-solid environment for countless users. That’s why the choice of desktop environment versions in each new Debian stable release always sparks plenty of interest and speculation. After all, users will be sticking with them for the next two years.

Measuring only 1.38mm², this wafer chip-scale package MCU is 38% smaller than existing alternatives. o ⚓ Robert Heaton ☛ It's_not_cheating_if_you_write_the_video_game solver_yourself⠀⇛ My wife and two little boys sometimes go on trips to see friends or family for whom my presence isn’t strictly required. While my wife books the flights I make a show of weighing up my options and asking if it’s really OK if I don’t come. Eventually I’m persuaded that it truly would be the best thing for all of us for me to have five to seven days to myself with no nappies and all Nintendo. My wife hits the “Pay Now” button and when the confirmation email comes through I call my secretary and tell him to clear my calendar. When no one answers I remember that I have neither a secretary nor all that much going on, so instead I find a prestige TV series, a selection of local takeaway menus, and a short but immersive video game. This time I messaged my buddies and asked them what I should play. Steve gushed about a game called Cocoon; Morris said that he’d played it a year ago and it was “alright.” Sold. One month later there were hugs, kisses, wave goodbye to taxi, shut the door, where’s the HDMI cable, how did it get under the sink, do I have a Nintendo Account, what’s my password, whatever I’ll make a new one, right let’s do this, estimated download time 45 minutes, start on tax returns, am I relaxed yet? Eventually I was able to boot up Cocoon. I learned that I was going to play as a little bee guy who has to solve artsy puzzles in a lonely, abstract world for no adequately explained reason. Bee guy makes his way through the world using four glowing orbs. He can pick orbs up, carry them around, and put them back down on switches in order to open doors and unfold bridges - standard orb stuff. However, bee guy soon learns that the orbs also contain other worlds, which he can jump in and out of to help with his puzzles. If he jumps inside one orb-world whilst carrying another one then he can put orb-worlds inside each other. He can even - towards the end - put a world inside itself. Conundrums ensue. * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ This_smart_Raspberry_Pi_LED_world_map_has_global appeal⠀⇛ Tribal2's version integrates with his smart home setup, specifically a home assistant system. The map interacts with a smart plug that is programmed so that the map only illuminates when he's sitting at his desk. Some of the effects it has include things like a rainbow effects but also more interactive demonstrations that respond to real-time events. For example, the daylight mode will show you which parts of the world are experiencing daylight. There are also plans to add a weather mode which would indicate weather patterns through regional temperatures or events like snowfall and rain. o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Smart_Home_News_–_ESPHome_2025.2.0_Firmware,_Home Assistant_gets_Matter_certified,_and_(some)_ChromeCast_devices_hit troubles⠀⇛ When I wrote about the Home Assistant 2025.3 release last week, it was pointed out to me that ESPHome firmware had its own release on February 19th, and in other Smart Home news, Home Assistant got Matter certified, and some ChromeCast devices temporarily stopped working which impacted video/audio streaming and integration with Surveillance Giant Google Home. Let’s have a quick look at all three pieces of news. * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Android Police ☛ Will_you_use_Android's_native_Linux_Terminal app?⠀⇛ Android users can now take advantage of a Linux Terminal app in order to run Linux applications on Android. It runs through a VM, and it's Debian, much like how ChromeOS can run Linux apps using a Debian VM layer, otherwise known as Crostini. So, now that the feature is here, I'm wondering how many will use it. Do you plan to use Android's native Linux Terminal app, or are you fine sticking with Android apps? ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 429 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/12/Distributions_and_Operating_Systems_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/12/Distributions_and_Operating_Systems_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Distributions and Operating Systems (Leftovers)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 12, 2025 * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ HaikuOS ☛ Haiku_Activity_&_Contract_Report,_February_2025⠀⇛ This report covers hrev58584 through hrev58696. jscipione fixed opening folders by double-clicking the “Location” column in query results in Tracker.

Talking about the need to keep things running and manage existing systems at the same time as shouldering the need to innovate across new AI- powered environments, van Leeuwen said he has spoken to a lot of CEOs and CIOs in recent months who bemoan the need to spend money on legacy systems when they really want to be putting more expenditure into new and emerging platform technologies. o § Proprietary "Linux" Things⠀➾ # ⚓ PR Newswire ☛ CIQ_Delivers_Technical_Preview_of_Security Hardened_Enterprise_Linux⠀⇛ CIQ, the driver of modern software infrastructure for the age of AI, announced the availability of a preview of Rocky Linux from CIQ - Hardened, a version of Enterprise Linux that is optimized for environments with the most stringent security requirements such as stronger password policies, memory corruption detection, kernel integrity checking and SSH restrictions.

I call it ExTiX 25.3 KDE Waydroid Live System. (The previous KDE/Anbox version was 22.9 from 220922). I have now made it possible for you to install Waydroid in ExTiX. (Waydroid lets you launch a complete Android system on Linux with Google Play Services so you can install your favorite apps). So now you can run Android apps in ExTiX. GAPPS (Google Play Services and Google Play Store) are however NOT pre-installed in ExTiX 25.3. That’s because you’ll have to register your computer with your own Gmail account to be able to run Google Play Store. The second best thing with ExTiX 25.3 is that while running the system live (from DVD/USB) or from hard drive you can use Refracta Snapshot (pre-installed) to create your own live installable Ubuntu/Waydroid system. So easy that a ten year child can do it! ExTiX 25.3 KDE Plasma System 64 bit is based on Debian and Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS Noble Numbat. I have installed KDE Frameworks with KDE Plasma 5.27.12. KDE Frameworks are 83 addon libraries to Qt which provide a wide variety of commonly needed functionality in mature, peer reviewed and well tested libraries with friendly licensing terms.

A lot of work went into this release channel, but for good reason – it brings the very latest in performance and UX improvements to users with a frequent cadence of updates. Meaning that you don’t have to wait a year to benefit from features that have been tested and already spent time on our more experimental Daily and Beta release channels. Some examples of features that you’ll find on the monthly release channel (but not on ESR) are: [...] o ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Kitty_0.40_Terminal_Emulator_Brings_Variable_Font Sizes⠀⇛ Kitty, one of the best GPU-accelerated and highly efficient cross-platform terminal emulators, has just unveiled its latest update—version 0.40.

If you haven’t watched it yet, there are a lot of production details there. o § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ # ⚓ Migrating_Databases⠀⇛ Last week I decided to clean up a bit of digital cruft. That is, I moved a few of my websites onto a single VPS, saving quite a bit of monthly server hosting costs. What I did was that I moved VPSes from Linode (Akamai) to DigitalOcean, but also migrated a full web hotel from One to DigitalOcean (converting email accounts to email forwards). As this is something that I do very rarely, I decided to document the process here so that I don’t have to look everything up again next time around. The grunt work was about migrating a number of L*MP services to a LEMP server. There are a couple of tasks involved here, mainly migration of databases and getting WordPress running in a subdirectory using Nginx. The rest of the exercise had to do with the moving of nameservers and waiting for DNS propagation to get certbot to provide certificates for the new location. o § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ # ⚓ Kiwi_TCMS:_Kiwi_TCMS_14.1⠀⇛ We're happy to announce Kiwi TCMS version 14.1!

During the auction, the FSF welcomes everyone who supports user freedom to bid on historical and symbolic free software memorabilia. The auction is split into two parts: a silent auction hosted on the LibrePlanet wiki from March 17 through March 21 and a live auction held on the FSF's Galène videoconferencing server on March 23 from 14:00-17:00. The auction is only the opening act to a months-long itinerary celebrating forty years of free software activism. As the FSF's memorabilia auction draws closer, the FSF has begun to reveal more of the items that will be up for sale next week in their virtual silent auction. Some of these items were disclosed in earlier communications, such as the vintage and rare "terminus-est" microcomputer (which was used at FSF's old office at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the early days of GNU) and a variety of plush animals that had greeted visitors at its former offices in Boston on 51 Franklin Street. Other items, such as multiple original artwork pieces that have been used to promote free software as well as awards that the FSF and its founder have received for their work, were posted last week on the silent auction LibrePlanet wiki page. "We hope that bidders will appreciate this chance to review the many memorabilia items that will be available for bidding in the week of March 17-21," says program manager Miriam Bastian.

The event was organized by Khronos and took place in the Arm Cambridge office. The talk I presented was similar to the one from XDC 2024, but instead of being a lightning 5-minutes talk, I had 25-30 minutes to present and I could expand the contents to contain proper explanations of almost all major DGC concepts that appear in the spec. I attended the event together with my Igalia colleagues Lucas Fryzek and Stéphane_Cerveau, who presented about lavapipe and Vulkan_Video, respectively.

There are tutorials here and here and probably many more places that explain how. There are also some reasonably well known sites, my favorite being this one, which is run on a solar-powered Pi. And there is also, of course, this site—my personal website—that you are currently viewing, which is being run on a Raspberry Pi in my room. While tutorials abound in regards to getting a basic webserver set up, there is a difference between a functional server and a good usable website. I've been working on getting my personal site set up over the course of the past five years, spending an hour or so every month working on improving the Pi. I never intended for this personal project to become so lengthy or complex, but eventually I ended up with a fairly robust system for running, maintaining, and editing my website. This tutorial will describe what I've learned throughout the process of creating this site in 15 steps, so that you can use it to create and maintain your own sites. # ⚓ [Old] Hackaday ☛ The_Pi_Zero_2_W_Is_The_Most_Efficient_Pi⠀⇛ Last week we saw the announcement of the new Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, which is basically an improved quad-core version of the Pi Zero — more comparable in speed to the Pi 3B+, but in the smaller Zero form factor. One remarkable aspect of the board is the Raspberry-designed RP3A0 system- in-package, which includes the four CPUs and 512 MB of RAM all on the same chip. While 512 MB of memory is not extravagant by today’s standards, it’s workable. But this custom chip has a secret: it lets the board run on reasonably low power. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1623 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/12/Mozilla_and_Firefox_Hey_Hi_Hypocrisy_Promoting_the_Paymaster_Fi.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/12/Mozilla_and_Firefox_Hey_Hi_Hypocrisy_Promoting_the_Paymaster_Fi.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Mozilla and Firefox: "Hey Hi" Hypocrisy, Promoting the Paymaster, Firefox Nightly, and Servo Report/ Overview⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 12, 2025 * ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Misinformation_in_the_age_of_AI:_It’s_in_the_details_(like extra_fingers) [Ed: Mozilla contributes to this problem by promoting dissemination of LLM slop and hype]⠀⇛ As you scroll through social media, the posts blend together: a heroic cat, a shocking statistic, a breaking news clip.

If the proposed remedies barring all search payments to browser developers are adopted by the court, these misguided plans would be a direct hit to small and independent browsers—the very forces that keep the web open, innovative and free.

Formatters are source- transformation tools that parse source code and re-print the resulting AST in some canonical form that normalizes whitespace and optional syntactic constructs. They remove the tedium of matching indentation and brace placement to match a style guide. * ⚓ Eliseo Martelli ☛ Building_The_New_Recommendation_System⠀⇛ Creating a personalized recommendation system for a blog doesn't require massive machine learning models or complex neural networks. With some clever mathematics, we can build a robust content similarity engine that runs entirely in the browser (or on the server). In this article, I'll walk you through the implementation of a lightweight embedding system that powers the “Writing" section of this blog using TF-IDF vectorization and cosine similarity. * ⚓ Daniel Janus ☛ Cleaner_codebase,_happier_mind⠀⇛ Increasingly often, I find myself wondering: why don’t we apply the same thinking to codebases? Let me stress that I’m not talking about “clean code” in the Uncle Bob sense; I mean the chores that everyone would like to see done, but nobody apparently has time for doing — the cruft that has accumulated as tech debt. Every codebase has something like this, and you know it when you see it. That flaky test that’s been failing once in 20 times or so, for no apparent reason. That legacy component that could plausibly be implemented with more modern infrastructure. That Jenkins instance you keep around just for CI-ing it. Those three in- house libraries that all do the same thing, but in slightly different ways. Those modules that are only there because you ran an A/B test involving them a year ago, which has since been rolled back.

Developers of web applications don't have to do anything to make them work for me, not even so far as making it possible to build their software on Linux; it just happens for them without them even having to think about it. Although I don't work in the browser as much as some people do, looking back the existence of implicitly cross platform web applications has been a reasonably important thing in letting me stick with Linux. * ⚓ Make Tech Easier ☛ 2025-03-07_[Older]_7_Ways_to_Restart_Linux_from Terminal⠀⇛ * ⚓ How_to_Display_Desktop_Notifications_in_FunOS⠀⇛ Desktop notifications provide real-time alerts and updates on various system events, such as network status changes, battery warnings, or software notifications.

beginner?⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 12, 2025 Quoting: What's the best tiling window manager for a Linux beginner? | ZDNET — A tiling window manager can be a wonder of productivity and efficiency. Click to open an app, and the window manager will place that app in the best possible location on your desktop. Say you click the Firefox icon with nothing on your display. A tiling window manager will automatically open a maximized Firefox window, such that it takes up the entire screen. Then, you might want to open Spotify, at which point the window manager will move Firefox to the left side of the screen, and Spotify will take up the right half. Open a terminal window, and it might split the right side of the display with Spotify. When you want to navigate from app to app, move a window, etc., you use keyboard shortcuts.

The new release improved the functionality to edit per-game basis graphics settings. In addition to the text interface, it now has visual interface to edit the settings from game properties tab. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ CrossOver_25_Brings_Even_More_Windows_Software_to_Linux_& Mac⠀⇛ CrossOver is one of the best ways to run Windows software and games on Mac, Linux, and Chromebooks. CrossOver 25 has now arrived with big improvements for Windows games and launchers on Mac. CrossOver is a compatibility layer for Microsoft Windows applications and games, built on top of the open-source Wine project—in fact, CrossOver’s developers are frequent contributors to Wine. CrossOver and Wine translate Windows API calls into native system calls, allowing them to run Windows software without emulating or virtualizing an original Windows operating system. They don’t work with every application and game, though. * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ How_to_easily_run_Windows_apps_on_Linux_with_Wine⠀⇛ Considering a switch from Windows to Linux? The good news is you don't have to give up your favorite Windows apps. Here's how to run them on Linux. With the end of life coming for Windows 10 and the system requirements issue with Windows 11, many users are seeking alternatives. One of the most popular alternatives to Windows is Linux. But what do Windows users do about running Windows apps on the open-source operating system? Turn to Wine. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2863 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 30 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
