EndeavourOS Mercury Neo is here to bump the kernel to Linux 6.13.7 and the live session to KDE Plasma 6.3.3. In addition, this release improves the installation to automatically create a 2GB EFI partition instead of a 1GB partition when choosing systemd in the auto- install option. According to the devs, this change will give users more space and freedom to install multiple kernels and other desirable options. Read_on More Updates: * ⚓ Mercury_Neo_with_Linux_6.13.7_and_Arch_mirror_ranking_bug_fix_- EndeavourOS⠀⇛ Our refresh release, Mercury Neo, is now available with updated core packages for the offline installation option and the live environment and a few bug fixes and improvements for the online installation option. After Mercury was released on February 10th, we received a lot of valuable feedback from new and experienced users, for which we are incredibly thankful. Without that feedback we can’t move forward, so keep sending us those, no matter how trivial it might seem. We will always respond to your feedback, whether we are capable or not of addressing the issue or adding a new feature in our future releases. There were some minor issues and upstream changes reported that were fixed through our Hotfix feature that Mercury received, but the fixes and features we are presenting with this refresh release needed a new ISO. * ⚓ EndeavourOS_Mercury_Neo_ISO_Lands_with_Updated_Packages⠀⇛ EndeavourOS has unveiled its latest refresh release, “Mercury Neo,” which introduces some enhancements and resolves several lingering issues from its predecessor, “Mercury.” According to official announcements, this update focuses primarily on the offline installation environment, as well as several improvements to the online installation option. Although some of these changes were addressed through hotfixes delivered to existing systems, EndeavourOS devs ultimately decided that a new ISO would better accommodate the most substantial improvements. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⢀⡀⠀⢀⡀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡤⠄⣀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣤⣄⣀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐ ⠀⣠⣽⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠓⢤⣤⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣄⠀⠀ ⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠐⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣥⣤⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⣒⣖⣀⠀⢀⣀⣦⣠⣖⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠻⠟ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⣬⣄⣠⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣬⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢛⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠭⠭⢭⠍⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⣍⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⢠⣦⣶⢶⣶⣆⣶⣦⠶⠖⠤⠤⠤⠤⠄⠤⠄⠤⠤⠤⠤⠄⠀⡍⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⣿⡿⣌⣿⣆⡤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣤⣦⡆⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⡏⣿⡟⠐⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡿⠟⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠁⠀⠀⣿⢧⣟⣿⣿⢇⣛⢛⡊⣉⣁⢉⣉⠀⢀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠈⡹⠋⠀⠀⠘⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣬⣿⣿⣿⠉⡏⠙⠿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⠏⠐⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠼⠻⠽⠿⠘⠯⠿⠐⠋⠋⠂⠑⠃⠚⠓⠐⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣮⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠨⣿⣿⣿⠿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢛⡁⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠶⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠁⠙⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⡿⣿⣿⡧⡂⡒⣲⡒⢰⡆⡢⡂⢐⡔⠲⠰⠄⠤⠤⠠⠤⠄⠄⠀⠠⠀⠤⠀⠀⠠⠀⠤⠀⠄⠄⡤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣍⢹⡏⠁⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⠉⠉⠉⠈⠁⠁⠁⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⡀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡋⠋⠉⡁⡀⠁⡀⠀⣀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢉⢿⠿⣣⣶⣼⡾⠙⠏⠀⠀⠀⠒⡀⠐⡶⢀⣐⣾⣿⣟⣥⣷⡞⠁⠀⠀⠀⢠⣄⣄⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠠⣿⡇⢸⡯⠀⣿⡇⢸⡛⠀⣿⠄⣿⡇⠘⡟⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠉⠁⠽⣿⣷⣿⠞⠓⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠈⠮⠉⠁⢀⣻⣿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠋⠃⠘⠓⠀⠛⠃⠘⠋⠀⠛⣀⣙⣃⣀⡃⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠐⡂⠀⢀⡀⠢⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡶⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⡀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣛⣛⣛⣛⣃⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠛⠛⠓⠓⠃⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠙⠿⣿⣿⠿⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠰⠶⠰⠷⠰⠿⢸⣿⡇⠿⠆⠿⠇⠾⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠤⠂⠴⠖⠒⠤⠀⠠⠄⠀⠀⠤⠀⠀⠂⠂⠐⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠦⠰⠀⠀⠐⠒⠶⠶⠂⠀⠤⠶⠶⠲⠰⠶⠶⠷⠶⠾⠷⠟⠶⠆ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 451 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/23/EU_OS_Is_a_New_Community_Led_Linux_Alternative_for_Europe_s_Pub.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/23/EU_OS_Is_a_New_Community_Led_Linux_Alternative_for_Europe_s_Pub.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ EU OS Is a New Community-Led Linux Alternative for Europe’s Public Sector⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 23, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇EU_OS_logo⦈_ Quoting: EU OS Is a New Community-Led Linux Alternative for Europe’s Public Sector — Here’s something interesting that caught my attention recently—a new community-led project called “EU OS” that plans to offer a free, Fedora-based Linux operating system specifically tailored for Europe’s public sector. First and foremost, this initiative is still in its very early phases—the official project documentation includes a conspicuous warning that, at the moment, it is “a work in progress.” Simply put, you haven’t released anything yet — no install ISO, no alpha version, not even some technical details.

It's even better when said hardware is equal parts beauty and power. When German company Tuxedo Computers sent me a new InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen 9 to review, I knew it would be something special. I was not let down. The company works with several ODMs (Original Design Manufacturers) to create, design, and develop laptops. Tuxedo Computers is constantly in contact with those ODMs to evaluate customizations in terms of chassis, color, different display panels, keyboards, cooling, CPU/GPU options, and more.

While that isn’t exactly the first thing you’d think would make great use of your GPU, these terminals can harness that power in some interesting ways. You might expect that a GPU-accelerated terminal would feature flashy animations and sleek effects. While this is certainly possible, these sorts of effects would be easy enough to add without relying on the GPU. There are flashier terminals out there, like the GhosTTY terminal, with its flashy built-in tabs, but these tend to be the exception, not the rule. In many cases, a GPU-accelerated terminal doesn’t look much different from a “standard” terminal. It may feel slightly different, thanks to factors we’ll explore later on in the article, but you can expect your shell to look more or less the same as it would in any other terminal.

The website you visited? Hosted on a Linux server. Your Android phone? Powered by the Linux kernel. Even in-flight entertainment systems and everyday devices like smart TVs and Wi-Fi routers run on Linux. Despite its omnipresence, many are unaware of how much they rely on an operating system that started as a hobby project in 1991. Unlike Windows or macOS, Linux has quietly become the backbone of modern tech. Its open-source, flexible, and reliable nature, combined with the power of the global open-source community, is what allowed it to change technology without fanfare.

It aims to enable smooth kernel updates—referred to as “Live Update”—so that certain devices remain fully operational during the transition from an old kernel to a new one. Essentially, the innovative Live Update Orchestrator (LUO) subsystem intends to minimize system downtime by preserving device states across a reboot, particularly benefiting dynamic cloud environments where even minor disruptions can be unwelcome.

Here are 7 of the best beginner-friendly distros for you to try — Anyone can use Linux today. Gone are the myths surrounding its steep learning curve (outside of something like Arch) and some excellent distros are available for those who have yet to visit the command- line interface (CLI). If you're considering the switch from Windows or macOS, I've rounded up a few of my favorite beginner-friendly Linux-based operating systems that almost anyone can use. Don't let this list fool you into believing these are basic distros. Once up and running, you'll have the full power (and versatility) of Linux at your fingertips.

The DIN Rail IoT controller also features a 1.14-inch color display, a RESET/ BOOT button, 3 user buttons, and a buzzer or user interaction. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Thanks_For_Hackaday_Europe!⠀⇛ We just got back from Hackaday Europe last weekend, and we’re still coming down off the high. It was great to be surrounded by so many crazy, bright, and crazy-bright folks all sharing what they are pouring their creative energy into. The talks were great, and the discussions and impromptu collaborations have added dramatically to our stack of to-do projects. (Thanks?) Badges were hacked, stories were shared, and a good time was had by all. * ⚓ Jonathan Pallant ☛ Playing_with_HP_PA-RISC⠀⇛ Having enjoyed some time with my Silicon Graphics POWER Indigo 2, I started to wonder what the other 1990's UNIX RISC machines might be like in comparison. The ones I had in mind were: [...] * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Museum_digs_up_DEC's_dusty_digital_equipment⠀⇛ Reading Museum is hosting an exhibition marking more than 60 years since Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) opened its first UK office. The office was opened in 1964 and rapidly grew until DEC employed more than 2,000 people in the Berkshire town west of London. * ⚓ Mere Civilian ☛ Why_I_preordered_a_Pebble_in_2025?⠀⇛ The second best thing about Pebble is its open source operating system, PebbleOS. It is a fun operating system. For example, when charging, the screen will show a takeaway coffee mug. I like that. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ rpi-image-gen_build_system_creates_custom_images_for Raspberry_Pi_boards⠀⇛ Raspberry Pi has just released the rpi-image-gen build system to generate custom Raspberry Pi images designed for a specific application and based on packages from the Debian and Raspberry Pi OS repositories I was initially surprised by this announcement, as there are already build tools like the Yocto Project or buildroot designed for this purpose. They are however somewhat complex to use and there’s a steep learning curve, so maybe Raspberry Pi made something easier to use. Let’s have a look. The build is mostly defined by a configuration file which defines the profile and image layout. * ⚓ Low Tech Mag ☛ The_Compressed_Book_Edition⠀⇛ The Compressed Edition is available in our bookshop as a paperback and hardcover. In 2018, Low-tech Magazine launched a low-energy website that runs on solar power. To reduce energy use and make the content accessible for readers with old computers and slow internet connections, we opted for a back-to-basics web design, optimising image and file sizes, as well as using a static site generator instead of a database-driven content management system. In 2019, we also launched a book edition of Low-tech Magazine, which consists of three volumes with articles and one volume with comments. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1218 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/23/Operating_Systems_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/23/Operating_Systems_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Operating Systems Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 23, 2025 * ⚓ Carl Svensson ☛ BRA_and_KET:_String_Interpolation_in_AmigaDOS⠀⇛ Without getting caught up in semantics, AmigaDOS in this text refers to the command line portion of the Amiga computers' operating system. AmigaDOS is based on TRIPOS, but was expanded and added to by both the original Amiga team and then Commodore. One thing that remains basically the same is the parser for shell scripts, or sequence files as they're called in TRIPOS. The script parser is reasonably competent for a 1980:s home computer OS and can be used for solving real world made up programming problems. * ⚓ The New Stack ☛ System76’s_COSMIC_Rust-Based_Desktop_Nears_Its_First Stable_Release⠀⇛ I’ve been using Pop!_OS since I purchased my first System76 desktop (a Leopard Extreme). * § BSD⠀➾ o ⚓ Undeadly ☛ fw_update(8)_gains_support_for_arbitrary_dmesg_files⠀⇛ Hitherto, fw_update(8) has gathered system information largely from /var/run/dmesg.boot (on the host on which it is invoked). Andrew Hewus Fresh (afresh1@) has committed a change which allows specifying an arbitrary dmesg file. The commit message explains the rationale: [...] * § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ o ⚓ Kevin_Fenzi:_Mid_Late_March_infra_bits_2025⠀⇛ § Fedora 42 Beta released Fedora 42 Beta was released on tuesday. Thanks to everyone in the Fedora community that worked so hard on it. It looks to be a pretty nice relase, lots of things in it and working pretty reasonably already. Do take it for a spin if you like: https:// fedoramagazine.org/announcing-fedora-linux-42-beta/ Of course with the Beta out the door, our infrastructure freeze is lifted and so I merged 11 PR's that were waiting for that on Wed. Also, next week we are going to get in a mass update/reboot cycle before the final freeze the week after. o ⚓ Kubernetes Blog ☛ Introducing_JobSet⠀⇛ Authors: Daniel Vega-Myhre (Google), Abdullah Gharaibeh (Google), Kevin Hannon (Red Hat) In this article, we introduce JobSet, an open source API for representing distributed jobs. The goal of JobSet is to provide a unified API for distributed ML training and HPC workloads on Kubernetes. § Why JobSet? The Kubernetes community’s recent enhancements to the batch ecosystem on Kubernetes has attracted ML engineers who have found it to be a natural fit for the requirements of running distributed training workloads. Large ML models (particularly LLMs) which cannot fit into the memory of the GPU or TPU chips on a single host are often distributed across tens of thousands of accelerator chips, which in turn may span thousands of hosts. * § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ How_we_automate_installing_extra_packages during_Ubuntu_installs⠀⇛ We have a local system for installing Ubuntu machines, and one of the important things it does is install various additional Ubuntu packages that we want as part of our standard installs. These days we have two sorts of standard installs, a 'base' set of packages that everything gets and a broader set of packages that login servers and compute servers get (to make them more useful and usable by people). Specialized machines need additional packages, and while we can automate installation of those too, they're generally a small enough set of packages that we document them in our install instructions for each machine and install them by hand. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1345 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/23/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/23/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 23, 2025 * ⚓ Robin Schroer ☛ Navigating_the_Rust_TLS_Landscape⠀⇛ Both the most popular Rust HTTP client reqwest and the probably most popular web framework axum are built on top of hyper, a low-level HTTP library. hyper itself does not support TLS, which is needed to make HTTPS requests or serve them, but rather provides an interface that allows users to bring their own TLS implementation that fits their requirements. As a consequence, reqwest has a whole collection of compile-time feature flags to allow users to select a TLS implementation, but is somewhat light on how to make that choice. This article is aiming to provide a high-level overview. * ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ RcppZiggurat_0.1.7_on_CRAN:_New_Generators,_Many Updates⠀⇛ The RcppZiggurat package updates the code for the Ziggurat generator by Marsaglia and others which provides very fast draws from a Normal distribution. The package provides a simple C++ wrapper class for the generator improving on the very basic macros, and permits comparison among several existing Ziggurat implementations. This can be seen in the figure where Ziggurat from this package dominates accessing the implementations from the GSL, QuantLib and Gretl—all of which are still way faster than the default Normal generator in R (which is of course of higher code complexity). * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Learning_To_Create_an_R_Package_With_Deliberate_Redundancy_🤣_A Note_For_Myself⠀⇛ 🙈 Made a hilariously redundant R package for a simple Proprietary Chaffbot Company calls, but the real win was finally learning how to build an R package! 🛠️ Is it efficient? Absolutely not!Was it worth the time and experience? Yes! Will I do it again? Yes! Will it break? * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2025-03-20_[Older]_Scoping_out_an_even_conciser_fork idiom⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2025-03-19_[Older]_An_introduction_to_App::ModuleBuildTiny part_1:_setting_things_up⠀⇛ * § Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Redowan Delowar ☛ Three_flavors_of_sorting_Go_slices⠀⇛ There are primarily three ways of sorting slices in Go. Early on, we had the verbose but flexible method of implementing sort.Interface to sort the elements in a slice. Later, Go 1.8 introduced sort.Slice to reduce boilerplate with inline comparison functions. Most recently, Go 1.21 brought generic sorting via the slices package, which offers a concise syntax and compile-time type safety. These days, I mostly use the generic sorting syntax, but I wanted to document all three approaches for posterity. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Alex Gaynor ☛ Notes_on_coreutils_in_Rust⠀⇛ Lastly, I want to consider a different benefit to Ubuntu of doing the work to enable switching to a Rust implementation of coreutils: that the process of doing so will inevitably uncover, and require resolving, innumerable blockers to using Rust for core parts of the distribution. And that the work of doing so will pave the way for using Rust for other pieces of the distribution that do benefit from Rust’s memory safety. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1451 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/23/Rescuezilla_2_6_Swiss_Army_Knife_of_System_Recovery_Adds_Ubuntu.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/23/Rescuezilla_2_6_Swiss_Army_Knife_of_System_Recovery_Adds_Ubuntu.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Rescuezilla 2.6 Swiss Army Knife of System Recovery Adds Ubuntu 24.10 Build⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Mar 23, 2025, updated Mar 23, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Rescuezilla_2.6⦈_ Highlights of Rescuezilla 2.6 include a brand-new base derived from the Ubuntu 24.10 “Oracular Oriole” operating system series to provide users with the best possible hardware support, as well as an updated UEFI Secure Boot shim package to support Windows 11 machines. This release also fixes querying of drives in the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) 32-bit build, which was broken in Rescuezilla 2.5 due to using the -- merge feature introduced in util-linux 2.34. Moreover, Rescuezilla now skips the GPG check on the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) 32-bit variant to fix the build until a better solution is found. Read_on Linuxiac: * ⚓ Rescuezilla_2.6_Released_with_Secure_Boot_Fixes_and_Updated_Hardware Support⠀⇛ Rescuezilla, a well-known tool for disk imaging and recovery that provides a user-friendly graphical interface for performing backups, restores, and clones of hard drives and partitions, has just launched its latest version, 2.6. Built on the Ubuntu 24.10 (Oracular) release, it replaces its previous Ubuntu 23.10 (Mantic) and 22.10 (Kinetic) variants, making it more suitable for modern hardware right out of the box. However, users should be aware that the Oracular variant currently ships without Mozilla Firefox, which the developers plan to reintroduce in an upcoming update.

You can find desktop distributions that are equal parts art and functionality, as well as those created purely for the sake of efficiency. For a while now, Garuda Dr460nized (aka "Dragonized") has been that distribution -- the one that makes eyes pop and jaws drop. It's just so cool. But then the developers of Garuda go and one-up themselves with the "Broadwing" release. If you're a big fan of the Dr460nized release, fear not, as it will most likely always be a part of the Garuda lineup, which features several different releases.

Today, I’m going to show you how to set up a Kubernetes cluster using Minikube on your Ubuntu system with Docker or VirtualBox as the driver. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 11_Ways_to_Do_Math_on_the_Linux_Terminal⠀⇛ Would you like a quick, distraction-free way to solve your math problems the way scientists and engineers do? Many tools let you do math right in the Linux terminal. You can tackle easy problems and make hard ones possible with these programs. § 11 Bash Arithmetic Operators Did you ever need to do arithmetic while you were working in Bash? You can use Bash arithmetic operators. Like everything else with Bash, the syntax may look ugly but it will get the job done. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2000 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/23/today_s_howtos.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/23/today_s_howtos.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 23, 2025 * ⚓ Daniel Estévez ☛ Decoding_BGM-1_GMSK_telemetry⠀⇛ In this post I will show how to decode the GMSK S-band telemetry signal with GNU Radio. I will use the IQ recording done by CAMRAS with the Dwingeloo 25 m radiotelescope during the landing as an example, since this dataset is publicly available. * ⚓ Jim Nielsen ☛ A_Few_Thoughts_on_Customizable_Form_Controls⠀⇛ Sure, sometimes I may need the ability to opt-out of browser defaults. But increasingly I instead want to opt-in to better browser (and OS) defaults. Less UI primitive resets and more UI primitive customizations. I want to build on top of stable UI pace layers. * ⚓ [Old] Yohanes Nugroho ☛ When_you_deleted_/lib_on_Linux_while_still connected_via_ssh⠀⇛ You will also be unable to open any new connection using ssh, or open a new tmux window/pane if you are using tmux. So you can only rely on your current shell built in, and some static executables that you have on the system. If you have a static busybox installed, then it can be your rescue. You can use wget from busybox to download libraries from a clean system. For your information: Debian has busybox installed by default, but the default is not the static version. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Streamlit_on_Debian_12⠀⇛ Streamlit has revolutionized how data scientists and machine learning engineers build interactive data applications. Its intuitive Python-based framework allows for rapid development of web applications without requiring extensive frontend knowledge. If you’re running Debian 12 (Bookworm) and want to leverage Streamlit’s powerful capabilities, this guide will walk you through the complete installation process and beyond. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_PowerShell_on_Linux_Mint_22 [Ed: How to be or remain prisoner of Microsoft; better to convert such scripts to Free software such as Bash]⠀⇛ PowerShell, once exclusive to backdoored Windows environments, has evolved into a powerful cross-platform tool that GNU/Linux users can leverage for automation, system administration, and scripting tasks. GNU/Linux Mint 22, codenamed “Wilma,” offers a stable foundation for running PowerShell. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Zammad_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ Implementing an efficient helpdesk system is crucial for organizations seeking to streamline customer support operations. Zammad stands out as an exceptional open- source ticketing solution that offers robust ticket tracking, task automation, and comprehensive customer support management. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_FerretDB_on_Fedora_41⠀⇛ FerretDB stands as a promising open-source alternative to MongoDB, offering compatibility with MongoDB’s wire protocol while using PostgreSQL or SQLite as the underlying storage engine. This approach allows developers to leverage MongoDB’s flexible document- oriented interface without concerns about licensing restrictions or vendor lock-in. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Matplotlib_on_Fedora_41⠀⇛ Matplotlib stands as Python’s premier data visualization library, enabling users to create publication-quality plots and interactive visualizations with ease. For Fedora 41 users, having Matplotlib properly configured opens up powerful capabilities for data analysis, scientific research, and application development. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Matplotlib_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ Matplotlib stands as one of the most powerful and versatile data visualization libraries in the Python ecosystem. For Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) users, implementing this essential tool opens up tremendous opportunities for creating publication-quality graphs, interactive plots, and complex visualizations for scientific research, data analysis, and reporting. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Disable_IPv6_on_CentOS_Stream_10⠀⇛ Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) was designed as the successor to IPv4, offering an expanded address space and enhanced features. However, there are legitimate scenarios where disabling IPv6 on your CentOS Stream 10 system becomes necessary. This comprehensive guide explores various methods to disable IPv6 effectively, covering everything from simple configuration adjustments to kernel-level modifications. * ⚓ How_to_Tell_Version_of_any_Ubuntu​_GNU/Linux_using_Terminal⠀⇛ Recently, I got myself in a position where I needed to update the security configuration across multiple Ubuntu servers running to host websites. However, without knowing the exact version of Ubuntu, applying the software or any other third- party update or upgrading forcefully could break the systems, resulting in several hours of unexpected downtime. * ⚓ How_to_Get_the_File_Menu_in_Ubuntu_22.04_or_24.04:_Is_it_Possible?⠀⇛ Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) or 24.04 (Noble) introduced significant changes to the GNOME desktop environment. Unlike the traditional version of Gnome, the one we find on Ubuntu is customized, with traditional application menus removed from the top panel. * ⚓ Build_CachyOS_Kernel_6.13.7_on_Kali_GNU/Linux_2025.1a_(KDE_Plasma 6.2.5)⠀⇛ After standard deployment Kali GNU/Linux 2025.1a (KDE Plasma 6.2.5) as KVM Guest [...] ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2171 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/23/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/23/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 23, 2025 * § Graphics Stack⠀➾ o ⚓ HaikuOS ☛ Haiku_❤_Nvidia_(porting_Nvidia_GPU_driver)⠀⇛ I finally managed to make initial port NVRM kernel driver to Haiku and added initial NVRM API support to Mesa NVK Vulkan driver, so NVRM and NVK can work together. Some simple Vulkan tests are working. * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ Colin Leroy-Mira ☛ Glider_for_Apple_II_development_log⠀⇛ One month ago I wanted to start developing a game in 6502 assembly (for fun and not profit). I had never done anything like it and it seemed like a good way to learn more! The beginnings were quite hard and I kept a little bit of code lying around for weeks before managing to shape it into something that was capable of making a little sprite move around.
