For example, there are distros built for gaming, while others are even more niche, being built for gaming on NVIDIA GPUs. This article provides a list of distro designed specifically for gaming, developers, and game developers, or gamedeva. So all the tools you need for gaming, programming and gamedev, are installed and ready for you. The DX in the names of some of these distros is derived from Developer eXperience.

If you're uncomfortable using the command line or diving down rabbit holes to figure out how to do something that should "just work out of the box," then NixOS is probably not for you. However, that's not to say someone with minimal familiarity with the command line would fail with this distribution. For example, if you only need open-source software, NixOS could be a viable option. If, however, you need apps like Chrome, Slack, and Spotify, you might run into some frustration that will send you packing back to Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or Windows. With that said, let's get to what makes this distribution great.

In an era where data breaches, hardware failures, and ransomware attacks are all too common, choosing an effective and dependable backup strategy can make all the difference. Designing the right disaster recovery system requires that we first understand our requirements and constraints. * ⚓ HardenedBSD ☛ HardenedBSD_March_2025_Status_Report⠀⇛ March was a busy month for the project with regards to the infrastructure. We saw some commits to src and ports, but development was pretty quiet overall. On 12 March 2025, we drastically expanded power capacity in the server room, adding two new 20 amp circuits. The electrician also prepared for an eventual mini-split HVAC unit that we hope to requisition in the next year or two. Due to the electrical work, we skipped performing package builds for March. We'll resume our regular package building schedule on 01 April 2025. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 263 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/02/Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/02/Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Best Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 02, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇wave⦈_ * ⚓ Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Alternatives_to_Google_Analytics_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ In this series we explore how you can migrate from Google without missing out on anything.

Among many other things, he bears a lot of credit for our networks functioning as well as they do. ""We're incredibly grateful to have Dave as our friend, mentor, and as someone who continuously inspired us – showing us that we could do better for each other in the world, and leverage technology to make that happen.

Without this infrastructure, we wouldn’t be able to communicate with our neighbouring cities and economies, let alone those on the other side of the world, which many rely on for popular and critical web services.

Recognizing this momentum, IOP Publishing now requires researchers submitting to two of our environmental journals to share the underlying data for their papers. Not planning to share your data? No acceptance — unless there’s a compelling reason it can’t be shared.

Right now, syslog-ng nightly arm64 packages are only available for Debian Bookworm. A 64-bit Raspberry Pi board with the latest Raspberry OS installed is probably the easiest way to test these packages.

This release also improves the visual quality of non-full-screen screen recordings taken with Spectacle when using a fractional screen scale factor and updates Plasma’s sidebar-style UI elements, such as the Activity Switcher sidebar, to overlap panels when shown outside of Edit Mode to make them look nicer and help communicate focus better.

Linuxiac: * ⚓ KDE_Plasma_6.3.4_Desktop_Environment_Released⠀⇛ Less than a month after Plasma 6.3.3 was released, the KDE team rolled out version 6.3.4, the fourth bugfix update to its 6.3 series, which does not introduce new features but focuses on improving the user experience. In light of this, users who rely on touch-based scrolling can expect fewer glitches, and those running the Breeze theme will appreciate the more efficient handling of window storage. Additionally, some lingering scrollbar quirks have been ironed out. Discover sees more reliable update detail handling through the PackageKit connector. KWin receives numerous tweaks to address issues ranging from unconfigured buffers on Wayland to more precise color management in HDR scenarios. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠛⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣠⡤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠄⠖⠒⠛⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣤⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⣠⣤⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣧⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠋⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣯⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣆⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⡿⠿⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⠿⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠉⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡶⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠈⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢿⣿⣏⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1224 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/02/Latest_From_Red_Hat_and_Red_Hat_Sponsored_Marketing_Mills.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/02/Latest_From_Red_Hat_and_Red_Hat_Sponsored_Marketing_Mills.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Latest From Red Hat and Red Hat-Sponsored Marketing Mills⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 02, 2025 * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_OpenStack_Services_on_OpenShift_at_the_edge with_Ceph⠀⇛ Red Hat OpenStack Platform 13 introduced an edge solution called distributed compute nodes (DCN).

With the rise of AI-driven code generation tools, developers have a whole new frontier to explore. But while AI-generated contributions might supercharge productivity, they also raise new concerns around security, safety and governance. Below we explore the dynamics of open source projects, how AI-generated code can influence enterprise software and what considerations and best practices you should keep in mind to make sure that your AI-generated contributions maintain the appropriate levels of code security and can be sustainably adopted. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1284 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/02/Linux_Lite_7_4_Released_with_Kernel_6_8_and_GUI_Tweaks.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/02/Linux_Lite_7_4_Released_with_Kernel_6_8_and_GUI_Tweaks.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Linux Lite 7.4 Released with Kernel 6.8 and GUI Tweaks⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 02, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Linux_Lite⦈_ Quoting: Linux Lite 7.4 Released with Kernel 6.8 and GUI Tweaks — Five months after its previous 7.2 version, Linux Lite, a user- friendly operating system known for its lightweight architecture and simplicity, has just released v7.4, based on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS. Just to add, even though the distro is based on Ubuntu, it doesn’t include Snap support out of the box—it’s been removed from the default installation. Another interesting choice is that Chrome comes preinstalled as the default browser. Moreover, the new release ships equipped with the Materia window theme, Papirus icons, and the Roboto Regular font. Under the hood, the Linux Lite 7.4 kernel now runs on 6.8, with custom kernels spanning versions 3.13 to 6.14 also readily available through the Linux Lite repository.

Linux Distros Agreed to Have Only One Universal Packaging — Linux is fragmented. You don't need Torvalds to tell you that, although he has already told you that in the past. Linux is fragmented on so many fronts, and packaging is the top of them all. From DEB to RPM, Linux packaging has always been a mess. One packaging format won't work on the other side of distro spectrum. To address the issue, a universal packaging system was concepted that could work on any distro. Only everyone worked on their own universal formats and we ended up with Snap, Flatpak and AppImage. Not the ideal situation, I know. Thankfully, I have got good news for you.

The simple program, called WattWise, came about when Naveen built a dual-socket EPYC workstation with plans to add four GPUs. It's a power-intensive setup, so he wanted a way to monitor its power consumption using a Kasa smart plug. The enthusiast has released the monitoring portion of the project to the public now, but the portion that manages clocks and power will be released later. * ⚓ Jeff Geerling ☛ Running_the_LAMP_Stack_in_a_Lamp_Rack⠀⇛ Each of the three Raspberry Pi 5s has a HackerGadgets PoE+ NVMe HAT, with 2242-sized NVMe SSDs installed running Pi OS. These are currently the most compact and robust HATs that combine PoE and an M.2 NVMe slot, and they just barely fit within the LabStack mini system if you stack two on top of each other. I could go more dense, cramming in eight Pi 5s this way, but (a) I don't have that many Pi 5s, and (b) I only have a 5- port network switch to use for this build! * ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ My_own_Ship_of_Theseus_post⠀⇛ By contrast, the Commodore 116 is entirely stock. It has had no modifications done, no upgrades, no replacements, and yet is fully functional in 2025 (a shocking achievement when you consider most computers aren’t designed to outlive a two-year warranty). I do admit it makes me feel great knowing this is the same physical basket of components that would have been assembled, bought, and used in 1984. Had there been a C116 that underwent significant rework, and a stock C116, I would likely choose the latter if I could afford it. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ RISC_OS_Open_plots_great_escape_from_32-bit purgatory⠀⇛ On Friday, RISC OS Open Limited (ROOL), the organization maintaining the FOSS version of the original Acorn RISC Machine OS, announced its Moonshots initiative. ROOL is looking for money, developers, and community support to fund porting RISC OS to Arm64 – because the 64-bit instruction set is the only one that most modern Arm cores support, from the kernel level up, at least. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ Forgot_your_safe_combination?_This_Arduino-controlled autodialer_can_crack_it_for_you⠀⇛ The Arduino spins the dial using a stepper motor and there is an OLED screen for status information, with buttons for control. The device attaches to the safe using magnetic mounts and it grabs the dial with a 3D-printed chuck. There is also a magnetic clutch, which is important because it slips when the lock mechanism falls into place on a successful combination entry. That prevents the autodialer from continuing on after it finds the correct combination. * ⚓ Ken Shirriff ☛ Notes_on_the_Pentium's_microcode_circuitry⠀⇛ Most people think of machine instructions as the fundamental steps that a computer performs. However, many processors have another layer of software underneath: microcode. With microcode, instead of building the processor's control circuitry from complex logic gates, the control logic is implemented with code known as microcode, stored in the microcode ROM. To execute a machine instruction, the computer internally executes several simpler micro-instructions, specified by the microcode. In this post, I examine the microcode ROM in the original Pentium, looking at the low-level circuitry. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1669 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/02/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/02/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 02, 2025 * ⚓ Thierry Moudiki ☛ Nonlinear_conformalized_Generalized_Linear_Models_ (GLMs)_with_R_package_'rvfl'_(and_other_models)⠀⇛ ‘rvfl’ stands for “Random Vector Functional Link”, and is a package for nonlinear regression and classification. It implements a type of neural network called a functional link network. Keep in mind that the models should be tuned in practice. They are not tuned by default in these examples. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Bayesian_proportional_hazards_model_for_a_stepped-wedge design⠀⇛ We’ve finally reached the end of the road. This is the fifth and last post in a series building up to a Bayesian proportional hazards model for analyzing a stepped-wedge cluster-randomized trial. If you are just joining in, you may want to start at the beginning. The model presented here integrates non-linear time trends and cluster-specific random effects—elements we’ve previously explored in isolation. There’s nothing fundamentally new in this post; it brings everything together. Given that the groundwork has already been laid, I’ll keep the commentary brief and focus on providing the code. * ⚓ Qt ☛ New_Online_Exploring_Experience_Launched!⠀⇛ We have been busy working on a totally new way to explore the world of Qt, and it's available at try.qt.io! Try.qt.io is all about ease of use and taking the first Qt experience to a whole new level. You are able to play around with a fully functional, Qt application and simultaneously investigate how the application is made. * ⚓ Qt ☛ Qt_Safe_Renderer_2.2.0_Beta_2_Released⠀⇛ We have released Qt Safe Renderer 2.2.0 Beta 2 for commercial license holders today.

These, in turn are assigned by CVE Naming Authorities (CNA). Who runs those, you ask? Well, soon, if you, your open-source project, or project will. Ready? Probably not. CVEs are standardized identifiers for security vulnerabilities, and CNAs are entities authorized to assign these identifiers. Traditionally, companies like Red Hat and Oracle managed CVEs for open-source projects.

It brings a slew of fixes and usability improvements across general functionality, Big Picture mode, macOS, Linux, Remote Play, and Steam Input. One of the more noticeable changes comes from fixes that tackle interface quirks, which many users might have shrugged off as minor but persistent. For example, Valve has resolved a brief layout shift that occurred when navigating back to the library section—an issue that caused elements to flicker for a frame or two. Similarly, the Steam Client window will no longer repeatedly steal focus on startup, and users should no longer see the update news window hidden behind the main client on launch.

But that was then, a decade ago, surely it can’t be that bad today, in the age of many gigabytes of memory, SSDs, surely we can just grep stuff and be on our merry way! * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Getting_a_(vague)_understanding_of_error handling_in_Rust⠀⇛ When I wrote about how error handling isn't a solved problem, I said some things about Rust's error handling that were flat out wrong, which I had in my mind through superstition. Today is a brief correction on that, since I looked it up. * ⚓ Andy Bell ☛ Item_Flow,_Part_1:_A_new_unified_concept_for_layout⠀⇛ This working for both flexbox and grid is what I like to see too. * ⚓ [Old] Mathieu Aumont ☛ Manage_FreeBSD_jails_backup_with_NocoDB⠀⇛ To manage my jails I use bastille as wrapper and until then I used a simple shell script that backed up all my jails every week into a NFS Share (with various copy on externals devices). Something solid and robust that run sinces years. However, I'm starting to have a significant number of jails (more than thirthy), on the same machine. And some jails doesn't need to be necessary backed up. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ Rsync_Command_on_GNU/Linux_with_Examples⠀⇛ Rsync, short for remote synchronization, ranks among the most powerful utilities in the GNU/Linux ecosystem. This versatile command-line tool excels at efficiently transferring and synchronizing files between directories, whether locally or across remote systems. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Etherpad_on_Debian_12⠀⇛ Collaborative document editing has become essential for teams working remotely or in distributed environments. Etherpad stands out as a powerful, open-source real-time collaborative text editor that allows multiple users to edit documents simultaneously. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_JDownloader_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ JDownloader stands as one of the most versatile download managers available for GNU/Linux systems today. For Ubuntu 24.04 users seeking a robust solution to manage downloads efficiently, JDownloader offers a feature-rich alternative to built-in browser downloaders. * ⚓ 3_Ways_to_Integrate_Abusive_Monopolist_Microsoft_Chaffbot_into WordPress⠀⇛ We have already created thousands of GNU/Linux tutorials, and dozens of them are for WordPress configuration. In today’s Hey Hi (AI) world, why not make our website a little smarter? In this tutorial, we discuss the practical methods to integrate Abusive Monopolist Microsoft Chaffbot directly into a WordPress-running website. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2578 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/02/Tor_Browser_14_0_9_and_Arti_1_4_2.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/02/Tor_Browser_14_0_9_and_Arti_1_4_2.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Tor Browser 14.0.9 and Arti 1.4.2⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 02, 2025 * ⚓ Tor ☛ Arti_1.4.2_is_released:_RPC_is_stable,_Conflux_development continues⠀⇛ Arti is our ongoing project to create a next-generation Tor client in Rust.

On the KDE side, Plasma 6.3.3 refined fractional scaling, display handling and usability. Mesa 25.0.1 introduced ray tracing support for Intel Arc GPUs and Emacs 30.1 enhanced org-protocol handling, security, and completion features. Other packages updated were PipeWire 1.4.1, libvirt 11.1.0, GStreamer 1.26.0, PHP 8.3.19 and more. Tumbleweed now includes experimental support for parallel package downloads and a new media backend that was introduced with zypper 1.14.87 and libzypp 17.36.4; this offers a major speed boost for package management as it cuts package fetch times by more than half. * ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ Seamless_migration_from_Windows⠀⇛ openSUSE takes a step further by offering users a seamless migration tool for migration from Windows 10 and 11 to openSUSE Leap and Tumbleweed. The migration tool covers the migration of the NTFS filesystem to Btrfs, user data, Steam game library, and most of the common applications that coexist on both platforms. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2662 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/02/Web_Browser_News_and_Views.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/02/Web_Browser_News_and_Views.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web Browser News and Views⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 02, 2025 * ⚓ Andre Alves Garzia ☛ Think_I_implemented_a_unique_feature_in_my_feed reader⠀⇛ After comparing both lists, it allows you to subscribe to the missing websites in BlogCat and it generate another OPML that can be imported in your other app with the sites that other app is missing. That's it, a simple feature but super convenient. I'm not sure any other feed reader has the same feature, maybe they do, but I think it is something other apps should implement. * ⚓ Lionel Dricot ☛ Goodbye_Offpunk,_Welcome_XKCDpunk!⠀⇛ For the last three years, I’ve been working on Offpunk, a command-line gemini and web browser. * § Chromium⠀➾ o ⚓ Google ☛ The_ element into a new, configurable and styleable state to be commonly referred to as "base" styles: [...] * § Mozilla⠀➾ o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Firefox_maker_Mozilla_prepares_Gmail-like Thundermail⠀⇛ Those losses aren't easy to measure since Mozilla does not publish user numbers for Thunderbird.

However, the bright white background of the Firefox PDF viewer can be glaring and uncomfortable when dark mode is enabled. Additionally, writing a userscript to invert the background and text colours in the PDF viewer does not work. I have confirmed with Firefox version 137.0 that userscripts do not run within the PDF viewer. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2737 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/02/We_re_Turning_21_in_a_Couple_of_Months.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/02/We_re_Turning_21_in_a_Couple_of_Months.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ We're Turning 21 in a Couple of Months!⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 02, 2025, updated Apr 02, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇A_huge_bear_scales_a_pine_tree_at_the_Bearizona_Drive Through_Zoo_in_Arizona⦈_ We're growing up. The site started in 2004. It may not seem like very long ago, but that was the year George W. Bush got re-elected. It was 21_years_ago. A site turning 21 may not be as exciting as when it turns_20 or 15, but we still plan a modest local party (we also had some party kit purchased last year; the kit's theme is "21"). We don't have the concrete plans set out just yet, but we're excited to see that both our Web edition and Gemini_edition are growing. We no longer have DDoS problems (or very seldom have them since going static), which means running everything is mostly a breeze. Here's to the next 9 years? Will it make it till 40 (19 more years) like the FSF? █ ⣾⠃⠀⡇⠒⠉⣩⣷⣾⣿⣟⣷⣯⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⢿⣿⢟⡫⣭⡉⠆⢈⡙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣟⠋⣀⢀⢡⡧⠸⡗⠘⣿⠎⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠎⠉⠋⣡⣄⡀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣿⡶⠶⡠⣿⣿⣷ ⢣⣠⡤⢧⣠⡀⣰⠏⣴⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⢿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣶⣿⡜⠦⠦⣄⠄⡈⠘⣯⡼⠹⣿⣟⣿⣲⠟⠛⠈⠀⠀⠃⠀⠉⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⢀⣠⡤⣤⣴⣲⢤⣴⣅⡀⣤⢒⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⡿⣟⢻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣯ ⣿⣿⣶⣴⠿⣾⠿⢖⣧⠤⠈⣻⢿⣿⡏⣹⣭⣷⣿⣿⡿⢖⠛⠛⠀⢀⣏⡿⢼⡟⣟⢹⣻⢟⣿⠓⢃⣤⣴⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⣴⣷⣆⠻⣅⣾⣿⣵⣲⣶⣿⣯⣿⣾⡷⣥⣻⣿⣟⣿⡿⢛⡋⠻⠟⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣵⣏⣿⡆⡌⠭⠄⢀⣋⣭⣞⣿⣿⢿⣿⣯⣲⡴⠊⢀⣶⣾⣽⠿⣽⣿⣿⣼⡞⢏⢹⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣾⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣯⣲⣿⡾⡔⡴⣻⣻⣿⡌⣠ ⢏⠙⢗⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠠⣠⡿⣿⡿⣛⣿⣿⣛⣿⣿⠛⠛⠀⠘⠁⠘⢻⣷⣿⣿⣽⠟⠸⣿⣷⡹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⡿⣿⣯⣭⣭⢸⣛⣷⣩⣜⣻⣾⣿⣿⣿ ⢄⠓⢿⣫⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⡏⠡⠘⠏⣿⣿⣿⣿⡭⠉⠙⠂⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⢿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣮⡭⡿⠻⠏⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣟⣵⣯⣿⣿⣿⣯⡛⣿ ⠘⠀⢩⠸⠻⢷⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣅⢀⡿⠉⢛⡫⠉⠀⠀⣠⣤⡜⣶⣾⣷⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⡶⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣏⣿⣿⣟⠋⢝⣶⣿⣿⣯⣷⣶⣾⣿ ⠀⣀⠈⠀⠐⠹⣙⣿⣟⢿⣿⣿⣯⣽⠞⠁⠀⠀⣁⣤⠀⣸⣿⡿⣰⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠫⠍⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠂⠀⠉⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣆⣿⣿⣿⣿⣫⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠈⣌⡁⢀⣀⣠⣘⣌⣫⣵⣛⣁⡀⢀⣠⢐⣿⣿⣿⡻⣿⠟⣽⣿⣿⡟⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣟⡿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣳⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿ ⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠀⠀⢲⡿⢻⣾⣷⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⡉⠁⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣷⣎⡁⣻⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠟⠛⠀⠀⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣘⣺⣓⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⣯⠟⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⡇⠀⢠⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣗⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⣰⠆⠐⠻⢿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣿⡿⠿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠷⠖⢶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡜⠁⠀⠙⠁⠀⣼⣷⣾⣤⡄⠂⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣭⣤⣤⣤⠼⠿⠛⢛⣫⣿ ⠘⡤⢴⣞⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⡿⣴⡿⢣⣿⣿⠿⠛⠁⣠⣤⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠀⠀⠀⢧⣶⢤⡐⣀⠀⣽⣷⣿⢿⡙⠟⢷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢟⣿⣿⠟⠙⣿⣛⠁⡀⡀⣀⠀⠈⣙⣿ ⠚⠛⠛⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡊⠂⠹⠟⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⣰⢿⠻⣿⣹⣦⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠻⠛⠉⢿⡋⠨⣿⣿⣯⠀⠀⠈⠇⠀⠀⠐⠀⡀⢐⣨⣁⠀⡠⢠⣷⣏⣼⢌⡀⢉⣠⡄⣸⣿ ⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⡿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠾⠿⠂⠾⠀⠛⠙⠻⠻⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⢴⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⢻⣿⠟⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⢀⠈⡘⣿⣇⡤⢝⣿⣿⣟⣳⣴⣌⣰⣘⣛⣷⣞ ⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠀⢰⢆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣹⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢧⠄⠁⠛⣀⣠⣤⣿⣿⣏⠋⣽⡿⡿⣿⢿⣿⣽⣿ ⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡰⠴⠉⢳⣽⢶⣴⣦⣶⡾⢱⣿⣟⠀⠀⠀⠈⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠀⣀⠀⠀⢈⡰⢾⣟⣿⣿⣿⡏⣻⣞⣿⡧⡼⣻⡿⢿⡟⢛ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⢀⠈⠁⢃⣞⣤⣾⣿⡿⣻⣿⣖⣿⡍⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⡴⠚⢒⣊⣡⣠⣖⠚⠉⠩⠽⠛⢉⢿⣷⣿⢹⣿⣽⣿⡟⢱⣰⢁⡷ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣠⢠⢠⣠⠀⢶⣾⣱⠾⣶⣧⣎⢯⣽⣍⡻⠿⡿⢿⠏⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠅⢠⣀⢾⢿⡿⣞⡋⡤⠒⠌⣀⣴⣶⣷⣿⠟⡺⢋⠟⠉⠀⠴⡟⢠⣄ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣼⠘⠣⠂⢸⣿⡟⠂⠩⣿⣞⣂⡳⠙⠋⠀⠘⠐⠀⡐⢂⡀⣀⣂⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣤⣤⣄⣒⣀⣀⠉⠂⠐⡯⣁⣈⣯⣙⣻⣾⣽⣟⣿⡷⣀⡨⣴⣤⠴⠐⠠⢠⠉ ⠀⠀⠀⠦⠀⠀⠋⠿⠁⠀⢰⢠⣼⡟⠀⣠⣄⣀⠹⢿⣁⣀⣀⢲⣦⠄⠈⢀⣉⣭⣭⣭⣥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⠤⠔⠙⠩⠋⠼⡟⣿⠿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣈⡈⢝⠋⠛⠁⠀⠀⣙⣧⣿⣿⣿⣦⢞⣤⠸⡇⠘⣾ ⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⢀⠀⠠⠄⢰⣿⡿⠁⠀⣯⣽⣴⣖⣿⡛⣻⢿⣭⢩⣤⣄⣠⠃⠊⢉⣳⡷⠆⡀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠔⠰⠖⠨⠅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⢿⡏⠙⠉⠨⠍⢽⡏⠳⠇⠀⠁⠀⠀⢘⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣿⣯⡽ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⣤⠉⠈⣟⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⡽⣣⣴⣜⣿⡰⣿⣡⡀⠀⢘⠀⠀⠀⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⡀⠀⠀⢀⣬⣇⠀⠀⠀⠐⠓⣬⣁⡀⠀⣦⣸⣿⡛⡛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⢿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⣦⡀⣡⣇⡔⣟⣯⣷⣟⢿⣿⣿⣯⣶⣿⣗⡯⣿⣿⣾⡿⠞⠃⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡀⠀⢻⡇⠀⡀⣔⢺⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠌⠀⠠⠄⠩⣿⡿⠋⠁⠀⢹⣿⣿⢿⠿⣿⣿⣟⣯ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢷⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣍⣋⣜⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⡝⣃⢌⠙⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢴⡶⣬⣲⣎⣗⡗⣧⣧⣾⣿⢕⣤⣴⣦⣾⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣽⣷⣄⢲⡔⡸⣽⡛⢫⣽⣿⣿⣿⣾ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠃⢸⣿⣿⡿⣋⣄⢘⣥⣻⣿⣿⢇⣦⣸⣿⣿⡋⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣬⣗⣛⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠷⠈⣽⣯⣿⣿⣿⠋⠙⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣷⣾⣿⣟⠡⡬⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣻⣳⠏⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢐⢲⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢋⣥⣴⡌⢳⣿⣽⣿⣿⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡗⣶⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⡿⠋⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣨⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⣫⠻⣿⣧⡸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡟ ⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣿⣿⡏⢧⢨⣿⣿⣿⣴⢶⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡴⣿⣭⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣩⣞⣠⣙⣮⡹⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡤⠚⠙⠉⠛⠛⢛⣛⣽⠿⣿⣿⣼⣿⡾⠿⣿⣿⡟⡉⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣮ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⢇⣠⣤⣨⣵⠾⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⣶⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡿⣻⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣬⣿⣿⣻ ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2806 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 29 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
