According to the Document Foundation, LibreOffice, which runs on Linux, MacOS, and Windows, now boasts around 200 million worldwide users. Document Foundation's Mike Saunders said that the exact number of total users is difficult to pinpoint, as the Foundation does not track users in order to maintain their privacy. Sanders also noted that downloads of LibreOffice have been climbing with every new release, which is a good indicator that The Document Foundation is doing something right.

Just follow these steps, and you have your website running in no time. But now I know it won't work like that. At least not for everyone. Instead, I'll just give you the list of resources I used and the first version of the configuration files that worked. The ingredient you need to add is some time and effort. I think it is worth it, though. It all feels rock solid. Technology that is simple and boring in the best way possible. Something you can depend on. * ⚓ FreeBSD ☛ February_2025_Laptop_Support_and_Usability_Project_Update⠀⇛ Laptop Sleep — Sleep using S0ix and s2idle low power states. A new power management driver (acpi_spmc) has been developed that can understand device power requirements and help laptops enter deeper sleep states. Faster WiFi rates — WiFi 4 (802.11n) and WiFi 5 (802.11ac) support is now available to test for data rates at high throughput and very high throughput on modern iwlwifi (AX2xx and BExxx) chipsets. * ⚓ Eugene Andrienko ☛ My_way_to_remove_“Linuxisms”_from_FreeBSD⠀⇛ This is where I see the pattern. If in the Linux world there are many examples of throwing away software that has served people for years or decades and can (and should, I think) be updated to adapt to the changed reality (e.g. ifconfig). Then in the FreeBSD world such software just … gets the necessary updates and continues to be used. In my journey to install and use the simple system with the good old software I encountered some problems. Sometimes, when I install a simple program, like conky or dunst — the pkg tries to install Wayland as a dependency! Or PulseAudio (thankfully, there is no SystemD in the FreeBSD world). Of course, I do not want these things in my simple system based on the X server, OSS and good old initialization scripts. * ⚓ [Old] Mathieu Aumont ☛ Why_do_I_run_FreeBSD_for_my_home_servers.⠀⇛ Everything is simple , everything is documented, everything make sense. Ok things are probably a bit “old-school” and use the old Unix-way to do thing. But this is what we like/needs in production : simplicity and stability !

The new tab groups feature introduced in Firefox 137 is rolling out progressively, which means that not all users will get it at the same time. With the Firefox 138 beta release, Mozilla adds more tab grouping features, such as “Add Tabs to New Tab Group” and “Remove from Group” right-click tab menu entries.

It hasn't even released yet so Valve got in early for this one. Top news for Desktop Linux players too, since this means it should run without problems on your favourite distro as Valve tested it with the latest Proton 9.0-4. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Rogue_Kingdoms_blends_tower_defense_with_Vampire Survivors_action_and_will_have_full_Steam_Deck_support⠀⇛ With an upgrade system that's a little inspired by the popularity of Vampire Survivors and all the games that followed, Rogue Kingdoms combines some interesting looking tower defense gameplay with direct hero control and roguelike elements. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Critter_Cove_gets_a_major_performance_update_-_should work_better_on_Steam_Deck⠀⇛ Critter Cove is an open world life sim and town building game set in a cozy post-apocalyptic paradise.

Thankfully, Valve do go back over various games to re-test them and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has been hit with a downgraded rating. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Cassette_Beasts_is_getting_a_new_companion_character and_story_quest⠀⇛ Cassette Beasts from Bytten Studio has a fresh update announced for release on April 7th, bringing in a number of extras to the already fantastic and unique monster catcher. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Historical_strategy_game_Old_World_switches_to_Vulkan for_Linux_/_Steam_Deck⠀⇛ Mohawk Games continue releasing some pretty big updates to their Civilization like game Old World, with the latest aiming to fix up lots of issues and improve performance. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 647 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/01/Incus_6_11_Container_Virtual_Machine_Manager_Released.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/01/Incus_6_11_Container_Virtual_Machine_Manager_Released.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Incus 6.11 Container & Virtual Machine Manager Released⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 01, 2025, updated Apr 01, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Incus_6.11⦈_ Quoting: Incus 6.11 Container & Virtual Machine Manager Released — The Incus team has just announced the release of version 6.11 of its container & virtual machine manager, which includes a wide range of improvements. One of the most striking features is its initial support for Linstor, an open-source software designed to manage block storage devices for large Linux server clusters, as an alternative to the tried-and-true Ceph. On the networking side, many probably don’t know that Incus (and LXC) have traditionally used the 00:16:3e MAC address range—originally allocated by the Xen project. To avoid confusion and provide clearer identification, the project has obtained a new dedicated range, 10: 66:6a, specifically intended for LXC and Incus instances. Moreover, Incus 6.11 introduces a new option to attach network interfaces through USB rather than the default VirtIO device. By setting io.bus=usb, the network card is exposed to the VM as a generic USB device, which can be particularly helpful when dealing with legacy guest operating systems that lack certain drivers. Read_on Update Original page: * ⚓ Stéphane_Graber:_Announcing_Incus_6.11⠀⇛ The Incus team is pleased to announce the release of Incus 6.11! Without a doubt, the headline feature for this release is initial support for Linstor as a new storage driver for those looking for an alternative to Ceph! But that’s far from all that this Incus release brings to the table. It also comes with a lot of new VM, OCI and networking features! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣴⣤⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣶⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⡄⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣄⣾⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡖⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⢀⣾⣿⡿⠀⣶⣿⣷⣾⣿⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣗⣿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣸⣿⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡼⣿⣟⣿⣇⡀⣿⡇⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣖⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣿⡽⣿⢻⣯⣽⣿⢿⣝⠛⠛⠋⠀⠙⠛⠛⠙⠃⠛⠃⠘⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡸⢝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣏⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣽⣿⣿⣟⣸⢻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣺⢿⣻⣿⣿⣾⣶⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢷⣾⣷⣷⢺⣿⣷⣶⣶⣖⠀⣾⣰⣶⣧⡾⢶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣞⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣫⠿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⡿⣿⣷⣇⣸⢟⣿⣿⡸⣋⠿⠻⠻⠿⠄⠟⠿⠿⠻⠷⠿⠻⠻⠟⠟⠷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢗⣿⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠋⠋⠋⠋⠙⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠛⠻⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 738 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/01/KStars_v3_7_6_is_Released.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/01/KStars_v3_7_6_is_Released.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ KStars v3.7.6 is Released⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 01, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇graph_to_the_Scheduler_page⦈_ Quoting: Jasem's Ekosphere: KStars v3.7.6 is Released — KStars v3.7.6 is released on 2025.04.01 for Windows, MacOS & Linux.

"Two examples are Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman." Tux Machines "famous" in YouTube? It also links to this_page_from_Richard_Stallman. This part is nice: § Clothing * Not all my shirts are red or purple, but many are. I like those colors. * None of my shirts carry messages (such as words or symbols). That practice strikes me as lacking dignity, almost like being a sandwich_man, so I won't wear clothing with symbols, not even for causes I support. This is not a matter of ethical disapproval, so I don't mind selling hats and shirts with free software slogans on behalf of the FSF; but I choose not to wear them myself. * As a matter of principle, I refuse to own a tie. I find ties uncomfortable, so I don't wear them. If ties were simply a clothing option, I would decline to use them but there would be no reason to make a fuss about it. However, there is an absurd social pressure on men to wear ties as a way of sucking up to business. When I worked at MIT, I was shocked that MIT graduates, who due to their ability and skill could have almost dictated employment terms, instead felt compelled to wear ties to job interviews, even with companies that (they knew) had the sense not to ask them to wear ties on the job. I think the tie means, "I will be so subservient as an employee that I will do even totally senseless things just because you tell me to." Going to a job interview without a tie is a way of saying you don't want your job to demand that. The people who yield to the pressure to wear ties are victim- coperpetrators: each one who wears a tie at work increases the pressure on others. This is a central concept for understanding other forms of propagating nastiness, including nonfree software and Facebook. In fact, it was in regard to ties that I first recognized this phenomenon. I don't condemn victim-coperpetrators, since they are primarily victims and only secondarily perpetrators, and they mostly are not aware of the latter aspect. But I feel a responsibility not to contribute to the pressure on others. I hope my refusal to wear a tie will make it easier for you to refuse as well. The first time I visited Croatia, that country had a major PR campaign about being the place of origin of the necktie. ("Cravate" and "Croat" are related words.) You can imagine my distaste for that campaign — in response, I referred to that country as "Tieland" for a while. The Free Software Foundation's dress code says that a propeller beanie is required, but other clothing is optional. However, we don't enforce it. I very rarely wear a tie, but I have many. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1001 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/01/Linux_Embedded_and_Devices_With_Linux_or_Open_Systems.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/01/Linux_Embedded_and_Devices_With_Linux_or_Open_Systems.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Linux Embedded and Devices With Linux or Open Systems⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 01, 2025 * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ SparkFun_Air_Quality_PM1/PM2.5/PM10_Sensor_features Bosch’s_BMV080,_the_world’s_smallest_particulate_matter_sensor⠀⇛ SparkFun’s “Air Quality PM1/PM2.5/PM10 Sensor – BMV080 (Qwiic)” is breakout board for the Bosch Sensortec BMV080 particulate matter sensor which the German company claims is the world’s smallest and 450 times smaller in volume than any comparable device on the market. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Zink_Is_Zero_Ink_—_Sort_Of⠀⇛ When you think of printing on paper, you probably think of an ink jet or a laser printer. If you happen to think of a thermal printer, we bet you think of something like a receipt printer: fast and monochrome. But in the last few decades, there’s been a family of niche printers designed to print snapshots in color using thermal technology. Some of them are built into cameras and some are about the size of a chunky cell phone battery, but they all rely on a Polaroid-developed technology for doing high-definition color printing known as Zink — a portmanteau of zero ink. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_SNES_CPU_Replacement_Via_FPGA⠀⇛ Let’s say you had a SNES with a busted CPU. What would you do? Your SNES would be through! That is, unless, you had a replacement based on an FPGA. [leonllr] has been developing just such a thing. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Building_A_Sliding_Tile_Clock⠀⇛ Hackers like making clocks, and we like reporting on them around these parts. Particularly if they’ve got a creative mechanism that we haven’t seen before. This fine timepiece from [gooikerjh] fits the bill precisely—it’s a sliding tile clock! * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Golang_On_The_PS2⠀⇛ A great many PlayStation 2 games were coded in C++, and there are homebrew SDKs that let you work in C. However, precious little software for the platform was ever created in Golang. [Ricardo] decided this wouldn’t do, and set about making the language work with Sony’s best-selling console of all time.  * ⚓ [Old] Tom's Hardware ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Pico's_RP2040_Gains_Long-Range Radio⠀⇛ With a range of 15 miles, if you have line-of-sight, the RFM95W radio transceiver module from Hope RF gives it a touch more communication distance than Wi-Fi when in LoRa mode, which also gets you data transmission at 37.5kbps. It’s connected to the RP2040 SoC via the GPIO's SPI channel, with an antenna connected by a U.FL connector. Should you wish to step up the power, bandwidth rises to 250kbps in FSK mode. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Geniatech_APC680_Edge_Hey_Hi_(AI)_and_TV_Box_is_powered by_Synaptics_VS680_Hey_Hi_(AI)_SoC_with_7.9_TOPS_NPU⠀⇛ Geniatech APC680 is described as an “AI-powered TV box” powered by Synaptics VS680 quad-core Cortex-A73 SoC with a built-in 7.9 TOPS NPU and designed for smart entertainment and edge computing. The system comes with 4GB RAM and 16GB eMMC flash by default, 4K capable HDMI output and input ports, gigabit Ethernet, WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0,  a few USB ports, and a range of wireless options including 4G LTE, Zigbee, Z-Wave, and LoRa. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ ESP32-S3_Smart_Audio_devkit_integrates_1.8-inch_round touch_LCD,_microphone,_optional_battery_and_speaker_box⠀⇛ Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-LCD-1.85C is an ESP32-S3 development kit with a 1.85-inch round touchscreen display with 360×360 resolution, support for Wi-Fi & Bluetooth BLE 5, and a built-in microphone. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ ESP_LowCode_Matter_splits_system_and_application firmware_for_simpler_ESP32_device_development⠀⇛ Espressif released the ESP ZeroCode web application in the summer of 2023 to create custom Matter-certifiable firmware for ESP32 targets. However, if your application requires some more customization, but you don’t have the budget or need for a software engineering team, the company has now launched ESP LowCode Matter. It retains most of the simplicity of ESP ZeroCode, but also provides the ability to further customize the application without having to use the ESP Matter SDK, which requires more advanced coding skills to build your own firmware. * ⚓ Bunnie Huang ☛ Winner,_Name_that_Ware_February_2025⠀⇛ The Ware from last month is the main board from a Lego Duplo Steam Train. As predicted, this was a much easier one to guess. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Efinix_Titanium_Ti180_FPGA_Delivers_Embedded_LPDDR4x Memory_and_Expanded_I/O⠀⇛ Efinix has introduced the Titanium Ti180J484D1 FPGA, which includes 2 Gb of embedded LPDDR4x memory. By integrating memory directly within the FPGA package, the number of pins required for external memory interfaces is reduced, simplifying PCB design and lowering system complexity. * ⚓ Bunnie Huang ☛ Name_that_Ware,_March_2025⠀⇛ This is a technique a friend of mine told me about where you put a polarizer on the light source, and then put another polarizer 90 degrees from the light source in front of your imaging lens. As you can see from the comparison above, the contrast on the part numbers is greatly enhanced — at the expense of losing most of your light. What isn’t obvious from the two images is the one on the left required a much longer exposure because 90+% of the light is not reaching the camera due to the cross-polarization. * ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ I_n-now_have_a_Commodore_116!⠀⇛ Here she is at a local coffee shop after picking her up.

This is a significant step for us, and we want to take a moment to explain why we’re making this change and what it means for the project. Over the years, it has become increasingly more difficult to keep SuperTuxKart working and maintained, and has consumed tons of time and effort for the team just to keep it working. This switch to Godot is supposed to help alleviate the pain and give us a more modern and flexible engine to work on for the future of the game. o § Firefox⠀➾ # ⚓ Firefox_Developer_Experience:_Network_override_in_Firefox DevTools⠀⇛ With Firefox 137 comes a new feature for the Network Monitor: network response override! # ⚓ Firefox_Developer_Experience:_Firefox_DevTools_Newsletter_— 135⠀⇛ Developer Tools help developers write and debug websites on Firefox.

The European regulatory landscape for online advertising is at a turning point. Regulators step up enforcement under the GDPR, the DMA and the DSA and industry players explore alternatives to cookies. Despite these advancements, online advertising remains an area where users do not experience strong privacy protections, and the withdrawal of the ePrivacy Regulation proposal can only exacerbate these concerns. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1385 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/01/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/01/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 01, 2025 * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Should_I_Use_Your_R_Package?⠀⇛ We could (and have) come up with another twenty of these attributes.

But with 100% confidence, we are certain we would disagree on how substantial these characteristics are. Surely, unit testing is more important than the popularity of the package? But how important is the documentation quality relative to the number of maintainers? It all depends on why we are asking. It’s all about your risk appetite. * ⚓ Terence Eden ☛ Pretty_Print_HTML_using_PHP_8.4’s_new_HTML_DOM⠀⇛ Those whom the gods would send mad, they first teach recursion.

howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 01, 2025 * ⚓ How_to_add_and_automount_a_hard_disk_in_GNU/Linux_using_KDE_Partition Manager⠀⇛ If you have an existing installation of a GNU/Linux distribution, like Fedora KDE or Kubuntu, that uses the KDE Plasma desktop environment, and you want to add an extra hard disk for storage, the graphical application to use is called KDE Partition Manager. * ⚓ Add_and_automount_a_hard_disk_in_GNU/Linux_using_GNOME_Disks⠀⇛ If you have an existing GNU/Linux installation, like GNU/Linux Mint, that uses the Disks, or GNOME Disks, graphical application for disk management, this tutorial gives you a step-by-step guide on how to use it to add and automount an extra hard disk for storage to that installation. * ⚓ Groot Koerkamp ☛ Path_Pruning_Revisited⠀⇛ One thing that becomes clear with mapping is that we don’t quite know where exactly to start the semi-global alignments. This can be fixed by adding some buffer/padding, but this remains slightly ugly and iffy. Instead, I’m going to attempt to explain a new approach here. Some details are still a bit unclear to me on how exactly they’d work, but I have good hope it can all be worked out. * ⚓ Andy Bell ☛ Minding_the_gaps:_A_new_way_to_draw_separators_in_CSS⠀⇛ The gap capability in layout is — in my opinion — one of the most powerful capabilities CSS has added…ever. There’s a problem with it though: if you want separator lines, you’re stuck with hacks. * ⚓ [Old] Chiark ☛ Drop_versus_Reject⠀⇛ Many people advocate configuring packet filters with a mostly- closed policies that drop packets that they do not know to be safe. This leads to problems for users that are hard for them to diagnose while offering no additional security. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_OpenBoard_on_Fedora_41⠀⇛ Digital education tools have revolutionized teaching methods, and OpenBoard stands out as an exceptional open- source interactive whiteboard application. Designed specifically for educators, OpenBoard combines traditional teaching methodologies with digital capabilities, providing a versatile platform for creating engaging educational content. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Lynis_on_Debian_12⠀⇛ Securing your Debian 12 system should be a top priority in today’s increasingly complex digital landscape. One of the most effective tools for enhancing your system’s security posture is Lynis, a powerful open-source security auditing tool. * ⚓ MWL ☛ New_book_launches_on_Kickstarter_tomorrow,_but_no_title_yet?⠀⇛ My new book launches on Kickstarter on April Fools’ Day. This is not a coincidence. It absolutely follows in the footsteps of Ed Mastery, the Networknomicon, and the Savaged by Systemd audiobook. What is it? Not telling. I do have hopes for it, though. I also have a blurb for it, from a famous author. * ⚓ Evan Hahn ☛ Notes_from_March_2025⠀⇛ Here’s a little roundup of things I’ve done in March. Also see my entries from February and January. ✐ Words I wrote in March⠀✐ I published a few blog posts this month: “Why_‘alias’_is_my_last_resort_for_aliases” explains why I prefer defining scripts over shell aliases. I’ve been doing this for years and finally wrote about it. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ How_to_Get_a_Cheatsheet_for_Any_Command_in_the_Linux Terminal⠀⇛ Ever wanted a cheat code for writing Linux commands without consulting the manpages every time and understanding their usage? Well, there's a tool for that called cheat. Whether you need a quick refresher or want to get familiar with a new command, cheat is the tool to guide you. [...] Say you use the sed command a lot. Now, it has many options. Reading the manpages doesn't always help. And searching on the internet for your specific use case can also feel time- consuming. In such scenarios, you can use the cheat command to see some common use cases of sed with practical examples. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 7_Things_Nobody_Tells_You_About_Dual_Booting_Linux_and Windows⠀⇛ Are you considering dual booting Linux and Windows? Do you want to play it safe and avoid potential pitfalls before diving in? After a decade of breaking and fixing my multi-boot setups, I've compiled seven crucial truths that nobody tells you about dual booting. While dual booting isn’t the most technically challenging thing, it can present some problems down the line if you don’t know what you’re doing. Thankfully, you have me, and I’ve been using a multi-boot system for a decade now. [...] You see, Windows has a particularly self-centered approach to installation. It assumes itself to be the only operating system on your computer and overwrites any existing boot managers without asking. If you install Linux first and then Windows second, Windows will overwrite GRUB (the Linux boot manager), leaving you with a system that boots straight into Windows with no option to access your Linux installation. However, installing Linux after Windows allows it to detect your Windows installation during setup. Most Linux installers are smart enough to configure GRUB automatically to include both operating systems in the boot menu, ensuring a seamless dual-boot experience. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2290 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/01/today_s_leftovers.1.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/01/today_s_leftovers.1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 01, 2025 * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_run_TRELLIS_on_RHEL_with_Podman⠀⇛ There is increasing innovation occurring with generative AI (gen AI), as many exciting upstream projects, research papers, and more happen. Red_Hat Enterprise_Linux (RHEL) is a general-purpose platform for running a wide variety of workloads and use cases. Specifically, using Podman on RHEL provides a great platform to experience these exciting upstream technologies.  In this article, I’ll describe my experience using Podman on RHEL with the Microsoft_TRELLIS_project, which is a generative Hey Hi (AI) tool that transforms images into 3D assets.   o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Ubuntu News ☛ Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_Issue_885⠀⇛ Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue 885 for the week of March 23 – 29, 2025. The full version of this issue is available here. # ⚓ Ubuntu Fridge ☛ The_Fridge:_Welcome_to_the_Ubuntu_Weekly Newsletter,_Issue_885⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Openwashing⠀➾ # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ OpenAI_to_launch_its_first_‘open-weights’ model_since_2019 [Ed: It's the_latest_Microsoft openwashing]⠀⇛ OpenAI is looking to experiment with a more “open” strategy, detailing its plans to release its first “open-weights” model to the developer community later this year. The company has created a feedback form for developers on its website to provide input into the makeup of the new model, which is still under development. # ⚓ PR Newswire ☛ The_Linux_Foundation_Announces_the_Launch_of NeoNephos_to_Advance_Digital_Autonomy_in_Europe⠀⇛ NeoNephos, one of the first concrete open source outcomes of the IPCEI-CIS EU investment, emerges as a response to the growing demand for secure, scalable, and transparent cloud solutions that support European goals of digital sovereignty. By bringing together leading organizations, technology providers, and academic institutions, the foundation will serve as a hub for developing and promoting open source solutions that empower European enterprises and public sector entities. o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ # ⚓ Jim Nielsen ☛ Don’t_Forget_the_Meta_Theme-Color_Tag⠀⇛ Ever used a website where you toggle from light mode to dark mode and the web site changes but the chrome around the browser doesn’t? To illustrate, take a look at this capture of my blog on an iPhone. When you toggle the theme from light to dark, note how the website turns white but status bar stays black. o § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ # ⚓ Document Foundation ☛ LibreOffice_Conference_2025:_Location proposals⠀⇛ The Document Foundation (TDF) has received two different proposals for the organisation of the LibreOffice Conference 2025. TDF Members will receive an email asking them to cast a vote and decide which will be the final venue. o § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ # ⚓ Andre Franca ☛ Thoughts_on_Sveltia-CMS⠀⇛ One of the most immediate benefits I’ve noticed using Sveltia-CMS is how much it has streamlined the process of publishing content. Before giving it a go, my workflow involved using a text editor, managing content through Git, and pushing updates manually. That always felt cumbersome, especially when I wanted to make quick edits or push out a simple post or note. Each time, I’d need to open my text editor, ensure that markdown was correctly formatted, commit the changes, and push them to my repository. This workflow, while manageable, often felt like overkill for smaller updates. Sveltia-CMS changed that by offering a more straightforward way to interact with my content. Now, I can manage posts directly through a clean interface without needing to dive into my editor or navigate Git’s command-line interface. It saves time and reduces friction, which ultimately encourages me to post more frequently. # ⚓ Michał Sapka ☛ My_new_Emacs_(and_Ruby)_based_Static_Site Generator⠀⇛ What a beautiful site, you might say. I'm sure it runs Hugo, you might add. WRONG! This site is built using a custom, state of the art static site generator. Well, not really "state of the art" as I was learning Elisp when writing, but hey. It works and I am hella proud of it! o § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ # § Open Access/Content⠀➾ # ⚓ EDRI ☛ CIR_Open_Source_Film_Awards_2025⠀⇛ Organised by the Centre for Information Resilience (CIR), the Open Source Film Awards celebrate the power and impact of open source investigations in journalism. The awards take place during the International Journalism Festival in Perugia, Italy, and recognise innovative visual storytelling that uses open source techniques to expose truths and hold power to account.
