Well, if you've moved on from Windows to the greener pastures of Linux, you don't have to give up those idle minutes before you clock out for the day spent dragging virtual cards around or trying to figure out the likely location of landmines. For just about every classic Windows game, there's a Linux equivalent.

Therefore we have been thinking hard about priorities for this year. And as we mentioned after our FOSDEM hackathon, the greatest goal for this year is reliability. So far, the postmarketOS community has mostly been focused on functionality: Hackers bring up devices and get them to a point where various device features such as audio, calls and Wi-Fi are usable once or most of the time. We want to get it to always.

At the same time, I've learned that it's OK to have a bit of fun with the terminal window. Over the years, I've done just that. Let me paint a picture. Back in my early days of using Linux, I had a girlfriend who lived with me. She was in school, and I was busy trying to build a massive Linux community. (Sadly, those efforts didn't pan out -- but that was when Linux was pretty much unknown.) I had set up my home LAN such that I had SSH access to my desktop computer running (probably) an early version of Ubuntu.

Alternatively, some data loss occurs as a result of human error. Without regular backups being made, data will inevitably be lost even if the services of a specialist recovery organisation are used. restic is a backup program that is fast, efficient and secure. It encrypts the backup, it’s easy to script, and offers built-in version control, retention periods, and purging. It also offers cross- platform support with coverage including Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, macOS, and Windows. restic runs at the command line. This roundup explores front-ends to restic which simplify making backups. We include Web UI, GUI and TUI software. Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart.

those of you who did attempt to shame me with that single syllable, you should know that Ubuntu is based on Debian. The Debian project was founded in August 1993 as an effort to create a truly open Linux distribution, in the spirit of Linux and GNU. The name “Debian” was an amalgamation of the first names of its two co- creators: Debra Lynn and Ian Murdock. Debian has become known as the “mother of all distributions” because of, well, Ubuntu. Because so many distributions are based on Ubuntu, and because Ubuntu is a “child” of Debian, it only makes sense to label it “mother.” Read_on ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠻⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠁⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⢶⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡟⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⣁⣤⣤⣤⣤⣭⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⣰⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡹⡷⣄⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⢀⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⡓⢄⠈⠙⠛⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠁⠀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣬⣐⡢⠤⠤⢤⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⢘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⠀⠈⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⡈⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣭⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 483 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/31/Debian_Freexian_Dash_to_Panel_and_More.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/31/Debian_Freexian_Dash_to_Panel_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Debian: Freexian, Dash-to-Panel, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 31, 2025 * ⚓ Freexian_Collaborators:_Monthly_report_about_Debian_Long_Term_Support, February_2025_(by_Roberto_C._Sánchez)⠀⇛ Like each month, have a look at the work funded by Freexian’s Debian_LTS_offering. § Debian LTS contributors In February, 18 contributors have been paid to work on Debian LTS, their reports are available: [...] * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Dash_to_Panel_lives_on,_thanks_to_Zorin_sponsorship⠀⇛ We last looked at Zorin OS a year ago (and as it happens, The Reg FOSS desk is working on a new story on it right now).

Meteorological obsessives can dive into detailed weather apps like Mousam; GNOME Weather caters to no-frills forecast fans; and all manner of extensions, applets, desktop widgets, CLI tools, etc satisfy niche tastes in-between. Of course, a great many people prefer to check the weather forecast on a website in their preferred browser, open an app on their smartphone, see it on their smartwatch, or (old fashioned) look out a window – all equally valid.

I’d been hoping that internet radio would have been added to fooyin by now. fooyin is a rather wonderful music player. It’s a foobar2000 clone. The project’s ROADMAP has plans for internet radio support. Sadly fooyin’s development has slowed to a glacial pace in the past 6 months, with only a few commits made. The developer was first going to add album artwork downloading/saving before embarking on adding internet radio, but the release never saw the light of day. That’s one of the issues where an open source project is down to a single developer; work and life commitments often get in the way of a release. Let’s get back on topic. I’ve written a few articles about kew, a music player sporting gapless playback, 24-bit/192khz audio, and MPRIS support. In many ways, it’s up there with the likes of musikcube and tap as the finest terminal-based music player. kew’s recent development has focused on improving the stability of the program, but the program’s latest release has added internet radio and mouse support. * ⚓ ddrescueview_examines_ddrescue's_mapfiles_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ ddrescueview is a small tool that allows users to graphically examine ddrescue’s mapfiles in a user friendly GUI application.

The target of the Linux creator and lead developer’s ire was “the disgusting ‘hdrtest’ crap,” which he accused of slowing down software builds and leaving “random ‘hdrtest’ turds around.” Torvald’s full post concerning the hdrtest issue registered a six on the turd-o- meter. While Torvalds was disturbed by the code that was impacting the latest Linux kernel, beginning his post with a “Grr,” he remained precise in his objections to it. “I did the pull, resolved the (trivial) conflicts, but I notice that this ended up containing the disgusting ‘hdrtest’ crap that (a) slows down the build because it's done for a regular allmodconfig build rather than be some simple thing that you guys can run as needed (b) also leaves random ‘hdrtest’ turds around in the include directories,” he wrote. Read_on Fudzilla: * ⚓ Torvalds_fumes_over_"code_turds"_in_Intel_graphics_code_in_Linux_6.15⠀⇛ IT’s Mr Sweary Linus Torvalds has blasted Troubled Chipzilla’s “hdrtest” feature. The new "hdrtest" code is for the Intel Xe kernel driver. It aims to help ensure the Direct Rendering Manager header files are self-contained and pass kernel-doc tests — basic maintenance checks on the included DRM header files to verify they are all in good shape. In a post entitled Grrrr Torvalds accused the code of not only slowing down the full-kernel builds but also leaving behind "random" files for dependencies "that then make the source tree nasty" "I did the pull and resolved the (trivial) conflicts, but I noticed that this ended up containing the disgusting 'hdrtest' crap that (a) slows down the build because it's done for a regular allmodconfig build rather than be some simple thing that you guys can run as needed (b) also leaves random 'hdrtest' turds around in the include directories," he wrote. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⣀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣀⢤⠀⠀⣤⣀⣀⣠⣄⣤⣠⡄⠀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣤⣶⡝⢻⣶⣿⣿⡹⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠓⠾⠲⠾⠲⠒⠶⠓⠶⠀⠀⠞⠓⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠑⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠛⠙⠛⠋⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠈⠉⠈⠁⠀⠈⠁⠁⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡅⠀⠈⠠⠿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣀⣀⣠⡄⣀⡀⠀⢠⣄⣦⣄⣤⣤⣤⣦⡄⠀⢶⣾⣷⣼⣆⣶⣆⣤⠀⠘⣿⡿⣾⠍⢻⡿⠿⣿⠿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠲⣻⠴⠂⠀⠴⠒⠶⠶⠶⣶⠶⠦⠯⠴⠷⠼⠵⠻⠻⠿⠿⠟⠀⠐⠛⠛⠛⠿⠛⣛⡛⠋⠛⠛⠙⠚⠛⠛⠛⠛⠁⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠁⠾⠿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⢠⢂⣤⡄⠀⠀⣶⣤⢧⣀⣞⣠⡶⠀⠠⣿⢦⡖⠶⡶⠾⠿⠶⠷⠿⠷⠀⠈⠟⠻⠽⠿⠙⠿⠿⠶⠀⢀⣠⣤⣶⣦⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈ ⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⡀⣠⣄⢀⣀⣀⣀⡀⢀⣀⣀⣠⣡ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⢀⡄⠀⡀⢀⣀⠀⠀⣤⣀⣀⣀⣰⡆⣤⣄⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣅⠀⢴⣶⣴⣶⠀⠀⢾⣷⠀⠘⠿⠻⠿⠿⣿⡿⠿⠺⠿⠻⠟⠛⠁⠀⠙⠟⠛⠛ ⠀⠀⢐⣞⢲⢟⣆⣺⣃⣾⠇⠀⠀⢿⠍⠾⠟⠾⠿⠹⠭⠼⠧⠟⠻⣿⡿⠀⠀⠻⠛⠛⠛⠚⠛⠛⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠏⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣆⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⢀⣤⢀⣀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠾⣿⢴⣶⣶⡶⠆⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⡿⠿⠿⠯⠿⠿⠿⠻ ⣀⠀⡴⢀⣴⡄⠀⠀⢀⣤⣄⣤⣾⡤⣾⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠧⠀⠀⠉⠀⠉⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠏⠀⠀⠸⠗⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠀⠠⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣀⡀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣀⣤⡄⣤⣦⢴⡿⢶⣆⡶⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠙⠿⠿⠻⠿⠟⠁⠀⠸⠏⠛⠛⠛⠓⠛⠋⠘⠛⠾⠟⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⣀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⢀⣀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣶⣤⡀⣿⡈⠹⣧⠉⢷⡀⠀⠀⠻⣷⠛ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⢻⣿⡎⢿⣤⢼⠷⠄⠿⠷⠺⠿⠂⠀⠀⠈⠛ ⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⣀⣤⣤⠀⠀⢀⣴⣶⣦⡶⣶⣶⣿⠗⠰⣿⢀⣾⣛⣳⣿⣿⠀⠀⠈⢿⣯⣿⡟⣿⢿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣦⠀ ⠀⢠⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠸⠏⠿⠻⠷⠟⠙⠿⠓⠛⠛⠋⠛⠛⠉⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⢀⡄⠀⠉⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣦⣀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣄⣤⣤⣿⣷⠆⠀⠀⠹⣿⢷⣾⣿⣾⠛⣷ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⣠⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⣰⣆⣀⡀⢀⣠⣠⣤⢠⣿⡁⣠⣾⣿⠀⠀⠸⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⢻⣏⣿⢿⣼⡿⠻⠶⠆⠀⠀⠛⠟⠋⠛⠛⠋⠛ ⢀⣀⡀⣀⢀⣀⣴⣿⡤⠀⠀⠀⢴⡿⠶⣿⢷⣦⣴⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡉⣿⣏⢹⣇⣿⣿⣯⣿⢣⣿⣧⢿⣶⣿⠀⠀⠀⠹⠿⠟⠿⠿⠛⠛⠉⠙⠛⠛⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢏⣿⣿⣟⣼⠏⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣧⠼⠟⠼⠟⠿⠿⠃⠀⠀⠐⠛⠛⠁⠙⠛⠉⠉⠉⠹⠏⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1115 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/31/Many_Layoffs_at_IBM_Newer_Reports.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/31/Many_Layoffs_at_IBM_Newer_Reports.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Many Layoffs at IBM (Newer Reports)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 31, 2025 * ⚓ IBM_mass_layoffs_in_US_Hiring_Shifts_to_India⠀⇛ * ⚓ Web Pro News ☛ IBM_Appears_to_Be_Moving_Thousands_of_Jobs_to_India⠀⇛ Amid reports of broader IBM layoffs, it appears the iconic tech company is quietly moving thousands of roles to India. Multiple outlets have reported on IBM’s layoffs, with The Register describing them as “ongoing layoffs.” According to the outlet, IBM doesn’t just appear to be laying people off, but seems to be moving thousands of roles to India. A look at IBM’s career page shows 3,722 jobs available in India, as of the time of writing, up from 173 at the beginning of 2024, and 2,946 near the end of the year. The jobs run the full gamut, from customer support to full stack developers and data engineers. According to The Register, sources within the company seem to indicate this is more than just beefing IBM’s presence in India. “Everyone I asked internally for ‘transfer’ all said the same thing … ‘I can only hire in India,'” our source said. * ⚓ IBM_to_layoff_thousands_of_US_employees_to_shift_hiring_to_India⠀⇛ This comes with sources alleging a strategic move to relocate jobs to India. “They have been making a lot of changes to shift employment to India as much as possible,” one insider claimed. IBM joins many tech startups and established companies planning to relocate their hiring to India and Mexico, including Tesla, Salesforce and Google. Employees are also currently grappling with a stricter return- to-office mandate requiring them to be present three days a week starting in April. Reports indicate that badge swipes are being monitored, and management has allegedly denied medical exemptions. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1182 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/31/Mozilla_Firefox_137_Is_Now_Available_with_HEVC_Playback_Support.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/31/Mozilla_Firefox_137_Is_Now_Available_with_HEVC_Playback_Support.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Mozilla Firefox 137 Is Now Available with HEVC Playback Support on Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Mar 31, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Firefox_137⦈_ Highlights of Firefox 137 include HEVC playback support on Linux systems, the ability to identify all links in PDF files and turn them into hyperlinks, the ability to sign PDF documents without leaving Firefox, and support for using the address bar as a calculator.

Use Linux, BSD. — I think it's fair to say I had quite a mixture of experiences and impressions from using GrapheneOS. As I just mentioned, the documentation is quite good and the project has clear goals which it executes well. People looking for a hardened version of Android with no proprietary apps or extra bloat would be well served by GrapheneOS. I also want to say the install method through the web browser is top notch. Not only is the install process well documented, but the website makes installing GrapheneOS a four-click process (once the phone is in developer mode). The power and ease of the installer was especially key for me. I'm no stranger to flashing custom operating systems onto phones. It's been about a dozen years since I last ran a phone with its default operating system and I've had the chance to run a wide range of mobile systems, ranging from Manjaro, to UBports, postmarketOS, Murena's /e/OS, and iodeOS. The install processes vary a lot and I've grown accustomed to several. I mention this because, after I tried GrapheneOS, I tried to install a few other open source operating systems on my Pixel. Murena's Easy Installer documentation was missing, apparently removed from its website. When I found the Easy Installer (which is also web- based) it reported my device wasn't supported (though my Pixel 6a was featured in the list of devices /e/OS supports). I then tried the manual install instructions for Murena and it rendered the phone unable to boot. Then I tried downloading iodeOS's desktop installer. It recognized my phone and downloaded the appropriate image, but choked (both times I ran the installer) during the flash and reboot phase. In the end, I went back to GrapheneOS's website and ran its web installer again, which worked perfectly. My point is that, while GrapheneOS provides a very minimal, very locked down, and (at times) annoyingly nag-filled experience early on, it was the only system of these three Android-based operating systems to successfully install and run. I think that is worth a lot. I will also say that while Graphene's highly minimal, locked down approach is not ideal for me (and probably not ideal for a lot of people who want to use their phones for typical smartphone tasks), it is well suited for people who want a small feature set and strict permissions. GrapheneOS gets in the way (both of the user and potential bad actors), it keeps things minimal, it encourages a "correct" approach over a feature-filled approach (again, like OpenBSD). This platform is some extra work to setup, much like Arch Linux or Slackware, but it means we end up with just what we want on the system with no extras and no bloat. This isn't a platform for the non-techies in your life, it's not for someone who wants to run a lot of apps. But it is well suited for people who want to start small and add extra software or features as- needed. I, for one, plan to keep running GrapheneOS for a while. I was tempted to try a few other platforms, but now that I've settled into the flow of this OS (now that everything is configured the way I want it), I'm reluctant to give it up. Plus, GrapheneOS offers five- to-seven years of support, giving me another two and a half years of updates on this device. That's pretty good for an open source, mobile platform.

How_to_Generate_Self-Signed_SSL_Certificate_Using OpenSSL⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will cover how to generate self-signed SSL certificate using openssl command in Linux. * ⚓ WPPool ☛ Host_Your_Own_Meetings_with_Frontend_Meeting_Creation_in_Jitsi Meet_v2.7.0⠀⇛ The Frontend Meeting Creation Add-on is a powerful new feature that enables users to create and manage meetings directly from the frontend. With the Frontend Meeting Creation Add-on, you can create and manage meetings directly from the frontend—no technical steps, no backend access, just a few clicks and you’re ready to go. Whether you’re planning a quick chat or a big team meeting, everything is right where you need it. No more hassle—just fast, simple, and stress-free meeting setup! * ⚓ Eerie Linux ☛ Installing_*BSD_in_2025_part_1_–_A_critical_look_at FreeBSD’s_installer⠀⇛ I like bsdinstall. So much actually that I’d say it is clearly one of the best ones among Open-Source operating systems. However this does not mean it couldn’t be improved further. This is why I’m going to take a critical look at it and comment on the various dialog screens, sharing my thoughts and ideas for refinement or improvement. My approach here is to do a mostly default installation in a local VM on my home network. The focus here will be the flow, presented options and friendliness towards newcomers. In the second part I’m going to present a couple of additional dialogs which are missing from the path that I took. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Our_simple_view_of_'identity'_for_our_(Unix) accounts⠀⇛ When I wrote about how it's complicated to count how many professors are in our department, I mentioned that the issues involved would definitely complicate the life of any IAM system that tried to understand all of this, but that we had a much simpler view of things. Today I'm going to explain that, with a little bit on its historical evolution (as I understand it). * ⚓ Vegard ☛ My_Unifi_Gateway_just_learned_to_do_BGP!⠀⇛ BGP is a much used routing protocol on internet. A routing protocol is basically when network components starts talking to each others, announcing «hey, I know how to reach 192.168.250.16! And the other router will say «cool, I’ll remember that for future use!» There’s basically two uses-cases for BGP: [...] * ⚓ Vegard ☛ BGP_part_two_–_A_VPN_connection_to_the_cloud._–_Vegards_Blog⠀⇛ As promised in my last blog post, here is part two of my BGP series. I’ve decided to split it into two, one covering the VPN, and another one covering the BGP end of it. So this one isn’t actually about BGP, it is about IPSEC. * ⚓ Vegard ☛ BGP_part_three_–_eBGP_between_a_VPS_and_on-prem_–_Vegards Blog⠀⇛ In eBGP, you route between different ASes. I could probably have gotten way with iBGP also for this use case, but I wanted eBGP. It could also be possible that you are using a more advanced cloud provider which handles setting up a BGP AS for you. I wanted to use eBGP here, so eBGP it is. The actual differences between eBGP and iBGP I found nicely explained here. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_FrostWire_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ FrostWire stands as a powerful, free, and open-source BitTorrent client that offers users a comprehensive solution for downloading and sharing files across the internet. First released in September 2004, this versatile application has evolved to become both a robust BitTorrent client and a feature-rich media player. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Apache_Cassandra_on_openSUSE⠀⇛ Apache Cassandra stands as one of the most powerful distributed NoSQL database systems available today, offering unparalleled scalability and reliability for organizations handling massive data volumes. For openSUSE users looking to leverage this robust database solution, proper installation and configuration are critical first steps toward building resilient data infrastructure. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Apache_Solr_on_Manjaro⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Apache Solr on Manjaro. Apache Solr stands as a powerful, open- source search platform that has revolutionized how organizations implement search functionality. Built on the robust Apache Lucene project, Solr offers enterprise- class search capabilities with features that make it indispensable for modern applications. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Shotcut_Video_Editor_on_Debian_12⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Shotcut Video Editor on Debian 12. Shotcut is a powerful, free, and open-source video editing application that offers professional-grade features without the price tag. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2043 ➮ Generation completed at 02:49, i.e. 21 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
