It’s a wonderful hobby which has almost no age limits, it is open to individuals of all financial means, and there is always the potential for an amateur to discover something that has eluded professional astronomers, or to help monitor stars and track asteroids. Even with the unaided eye, there is much to study in the night sky including constellations, shooting stars, planets, and of course the moon, the Earth’s only natural satellite. There are satellites that are much nearer than the moon. Artificial satellites are man-made objects placed in orbit around a celestial body, typically Earth, to serve various purposes like communication, weather monitoring, and scientific research. This roundup focuses on Linux software that let you track artificial satellites from your Linux terminal and desktop. Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion. * ⚓ Pasaffe_is_an_easy_to_use_password_manager_for_GNOME_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Pasaffe is an easy to use password manager for GNOME with a Password Safe 3.0 compatible database.

And it looks like if you don’t click on the “Confirm and continue” button, you won’t be able to use Firefox anymore. Among other changes, Firefox 139 promises support for full-page translations within Firefox extension pages, support for preserving the transparency of PNG images when they’re pasted into Firefox, and improved HTTP/3 upload performance, particularly on resumed connections (QUIC 0-RTT) and high bandwidth and high delay connections.

Back in my university days, I started to toy around with Ubuntu, but I never dedicated as much time to it as I could have. I decided to give it another go recently, lured by the promises of an open-source operating system that required minimal system resources. And while I tried to love Linux, I just couldn't bring myself to use it as my daily driver for several reasons. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Conf_Kde_India_2025_—_A_memorable_convergence⠀⇛ conf.kde.in is the annual India KDE conference, where KDE contributor, other open source enthusiasts and students meet to discuss KDE and other open source project. This year, the conference was held in GIFT City, Gandhinagar, Gujarat from April 4-6, 2025. The scheduled three days were split into two days for conference talks and one day for the unconference session. The program featured a diverse range of KDE-related topics from technical developments to community initiatives. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Sparky GNU/Linux ☛ ElecWhat⠀⇛ There is a new application available for Sparkers: ElecWhat What is ElecWhat? Simple desktop Whatsapp client for Linux. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Openwashing⠀➾ # ⚓ Electronic Design ☛ Upgraded_Open-Source_EV_Charging Software_Stack_Supports_New_and_Legacy_Apps⠀⇛ The Linux Foundation’s LF Energy development group released its newest version the LF Energy CitrineOS project, a leading open-source Charging Station Management System (CSMS) software stack—it now supports Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) 1.6. This milestone extends CitrineOS’s compatibility, expanding the range of electric-vehicle (EV) chargers that can leverage its modular, extensible architecture. CitrineOS already supported the newer OCPP 2.0.1. However, with most legacy chargers continuing to run 1.6, this update provides additional opportunities for charging station operators to take advantage of the tool. Originally developed by S44 Energy and offered to LF Energy as an open-source initiative, CitrineOS is designed with modularity at its core. It consists of logically separated modules that align with OCPP 2.0.1 and now includes comprehensive support for OCPP 1.6, the widely adopted standard for EV charger communication. This update helps ensure seamless message handling across multiple OCPP protocols, furthering the platform’s flexibility and industry applicability. o § GNU Projects⠀➾ # ⚓ GNU Taler ☛ Taler_Mailbox_and_Directory_service_released⠀⇛ We are happy to announce the release of two new GNU Taler components: The Taler Directory (TalDir) and Mailbox services. The Taler Wallet will be integrated in future versions to interact with the Taler Directory and Mailbox in order to deliver a smooth user experience for Peer-to-Peer payments. * § Security⠀➾ o ⚓ Security Affairs ☛ PoC_rootkit_Curing_evades_traditional_Linux detection_systems⠀⇛ “Curing is a POC of a rootkit that uses io_uring to perform different tasks without using any syscalls, making it invisible to security tools which are only monitoring syscalls. The project was found effective against many of the most popular security tools such as Linux EDRs solutions and container security. tools.” reads the description provided by the researchers on GitHub.”The idea was born at the latest CCC conference #38c3, therefor the name Curing which is a mix of C and io_uring.” o ⚓ Hot Hardware ☛ Linux_Has_A_Blind_Spot_That_Exposes_Users_To_A Nasty_Security_Flaw⠀⇛ The researchers built a rootkit dubbed Curing. Curing uses only io_uring ops when communicating with the Linux kernel and ultimately it could execute commands, read files, and interact with the network without using any detectable system calls. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 759 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/29/Hardware_and_Games_Modders_and_Gamers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/29/Hardware_and_Games_Modders_and_Gamers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Hardware and Games, Modders and Gamers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 29, 2025 * ⚓ Raspberry_Pi_Weekly_Issue_#498_-_More_power,_more_books,_and_more sustainable_practices⠀⇛ Plus TWO whole zero-g Raspberry Pi projects… floaty Howdy, We launched our best power supply yet last week: at 45W, it's perfect for running a Raspberry Pi or charging a laptop — and it's priced at $15. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Jetway_B420PADN1_–_A_compact,_fanless_embedded_box_PC with_defective_chip_maker_Intel_N97/N200_SoC,_M.2_sockets,_COM_ports⠀⇛ The Jetway B420PADN1 is a compact, fanless box PC built around an defective chip maker Intel N97 or N200 Alder Lake-N SoCs.

I’d spend hours browsing the internet, usually playing Flash games or watching early YouTube videos. Most of my memories of using the computer are now a blur, however, one detail stands out. I distinctly remember that our family computer used Mozilla Firefox as our primary internet browser.

It features integrated Intel Arc Graphics, Wi-Fi 6E, dual 2.5G Ethernet ports, and quad-screen display support. * ⚓ Videah ☛ Attacking_My_Landlord's_Boiler⠀⇛ This was the step I got stuck on for months. I was trying the "smart" route of attempting to reverse-engineer and reconstruct the packets by hand using URH and then broadcasting them with very cheap 868Mhz microcontroller boards. I can safely say this was all wayyy outside of my skill set. None of the boards were really designed to talk to anything other than the exact same board, and going any further than that required poking at radio registers in ways I wasn't comfortable doing. * ⚓ Chuck Grimmett ☛ Leather_holster_for_a_landing_net⠀⇛ A couple months ago my uncle made a beautiful tamo, or Japanese fish landing net, for me. And during my recent visit, I noticed that he and my cousin made leather belt holsters for their landing nets, so I resolved to make one for mine, too. * ⚓ Olimex ☛ ESP32-EVB_relays_driven_by_web_interface_with_MicroPython_–_so you_can_switch_on_and_off_loads_from_anywhere_with_[Internet] connection⠀⇛ With this small project we will show how easy is to setup web server and control the ESP32-EVB relays with simple web interface.

It illustrates once again that support for these reforms is hugely bipartisan. Often corporate policy guys find a way to generate partisan animus around issues (see: privacy, net neutrality), but so far they’ve yet to have that kind of success in “right to repair.” * ⚓ Nicholas Tietz-Sokolsky ☛ Measuring_my_Framework_laptop's_performance in_3_positions⠀⇛ A few months ago, I was talking with a friend about my ergonomic setup and they asked if being vertical helps it with cooling. I wasn't sure, because it seems like it could help but it was probably such a small difference that it wouldn't matter. So, I did what any self-respecting nerd would do: I procrastinated. The question didn't leave me, though, so after those months passed, I did the second thing any self-respecting nerd would do: benchmarks. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1270 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/29/Plasma_Sprint_2025_A_Recap.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/29/Plasma_Sprint_2025_A_Recap.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Plasma Sprint 2025 – A Recap⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 29, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇icons⦈_ Quoting: Plasma Sprint 2025 – A Recap – KDE and Plasma Design — This year’s Plasma Sprint had a very special meaning for me. For the first time, in a long time, I feel like I am contributing something big for the community. It has the potential of setting our development process on steroids. The goal is to remove so much designing from the work our developers do and bring more design to the hands of designers. That way we can all communicate better and focus on the things that we do best. My goal for the sprint was to get buy-in from the development team to start the process of implementing our design system foundations. The days were long but the team was positive about this change. While we don’t know exactly how big things will get, we at least are committed to delivering an easier development platform for our Community.

Manufacturers must implement a process to release their devices without any know vulnerabilities and to keep their devices free of vulnerabilities during the whole product lifetime by providing security updates in a timely manner. * ⚓ Doug Square ☛ Computer_Architects_Can't_Find_the_Average⠀⇛ Computer architects can’t agree on a way to find the average. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ The_glass_box/opaque_box_unit_testing_argument in_light_of_standards⠀⇛ One of the traditional divides in unit testing is whether you should write 'glass box' or 'opaque box' tests (like GeePawHill I think I prefer those terms to the traditional ones), which is to say whether you should write tests exploiting your knowledge of the module's code or without it. Since I prefer testing inside my modules, I'm implicitly on the side of glass box tests; even if I'm testing public APIs, I write tests with knowledge of potential corner cases. Recently, another reason for this occurred to me, by analogy to standards. * ⚓ Sergio_Talens-Oliag:_ArgoCD_Autopilot⠀⇛ For a long time I’ve been wanting to try GitOps tools, but I haven’t had the chance to try them for real on the projects I was working on. As now I have some spare time I’ve decided I’m going to play a little with Argo_CD, Flux and Kluctl to test them and be able to use one of them in a real project in the future if it looks appropriate. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ How_the_DSGE_sausage_is_made⠀⇛ Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models are a class of models which attempt to model the entire economy of a nation. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Valgrind-3.25.0_is_available⠀⇛ Version 3.25.0 of the Valgrind dynamic-analysis tool has been released. It has lots of new features, including initial support for RISC-V on Linux, handling zstd- compressed debug sections, integration of the Linux Test Project test suite, support for lots more GNU/Linux system calls, and more. It also has plenty of bug fixes, of course. * ⚓ USENIX ☛ Technical_Debt_as_Theory_Building_and_Practice_|_USENIX⠀⇛ I will examine the connections between technical debt, housework/carework, and infrastructure in order to talk through strategies for understanding the shape of your technical debt, picking pieces to pay down, and building narratives with conceptual integrity around technical debt. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Updating_venv-based_things_by_replacing the_venv_not_updating_it⠀⇛ These days, we have mostly switched over to installing third-party Python programs (and sometimes things like Django) in virtual environments instead of various past practices. This is clearly the way Python expects you to do things and increasingly problems emerge if you don't. One of the issues I've been thinking about is how we want to handle updating these programs when they release new versions, because there are two approaches. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1450 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/29/Red_Hat_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/29/Red_Hat_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 29, 2025 * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ The_Rise_of_Small_Language_Models_in_Enterprise_AI [Ed: Buzzwords and hype in place of actual substance]⠀⇛ The majority are embracing generative AI (gen AI) in the form of large language models (LLMs) for their ability to reason and generate valuable content and insights. Sometimes augmented with techniques like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) or fine-tuning to further improve accuracy and fill knowledge gaps, generalised LLMs can deliver excellent results for enterprise organisations and line-of-business application owners.   * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ IT_modernization_with_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_and Ansible_Automation_Platform:_building_a_foundation_ready_for_the_future⠀⇛ At the heart of this journey is one critical decision: Which operating system should power our workloads? * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Announcing_right-sizing_for_OpenShift_Virtualization⠀⇛ Allocating the appropriate amount of CPU and memory to namespaces and virtual machines is essential to ensure efficient performance and cost optimization, especially with today’s growing number of clusters. Proper right-sizing prevents over-provisioning, waste of resources, an increased risk of financial burdens, under-provisioning, and severe performance issues. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Boost_OpenShift_database_VM_density_with_memory_overcommit⠀⇛ Virtualization platforms are used for workload consolidation and although it is not commonplace to oversubscribe resources on a virtualization platform, there are scenarios where a virtualization host can end with virtual machines that require more resources than the host can provide. These situations can happen during planned downtime for some of the hosts in the cluster or unplanned outage of hosts where the virtual machines from these hosts are likely to end up on surviving hosts.  * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Performance_boosts_in_vLLM_0.8.1:_Switching_to_the_V1 engine⠀⇛ vLLM has rapidly become the go-to solution for efficient inference of large language and multimodal models. In this post, we'll demonstrate the substantial performance and usability improvements introduced in vLLM 0.8.1 compared to version 0.7.3, emphasizing crucial architectural overhauls and multimodal inference optimizations.  * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ JBoss_EAP_8.1_Beta:_Modernizing_enterprise_Java applications⠀⇛ The Red_Hat_JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform 8.1 Beta release is now available, continuing our commitment to supporting and modernizing enterprise Java applications across a wide range of deployment environments.   ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1536 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/29/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/29/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 29, 2025 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Monday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (thunderbird), Debian (distro-info-data, imagemagick, kernel, libsoup2.4, and poppler), Fedora (chromium, java-1.8.0-openjdk, java-1.8.0- openjdk-portable, java-17-openjdk, java-17-openjdk-portable, java-latest-openjdk, pgadmin4, thunderbird, and xz), Mageia (haproxy and libxml2), Oracle (bluez, firefox, gnutls, libtasn1, libxslt, mod_auth_openidc:2.3, ruby:3.1, thunderbird, and xmlrpc-c), Red Hat (delve and golang, glibc, mod_auth_openidc, mod_auth_openidc:2.3, and thunderbird), SUSE (augeas, chromedriver, cifs-utils, govulncheck-vulndb, java-11- openjdk, java-21-openjdk, kyverno, libraw, opentofu, runc, subfinder, and valkey), and Ubuntu (jupyter-notebook and libxml2). * ⚓ Citizen Lab ☛ Weaponized_Words:_Uyghur_Language_Software_Hijacked_to Deliver_Malware⠀⇛ Our investigation of a spearphishing campaign that targeted senior members of the World Uyghur Congress in March 2025 reveals a highly-customized attack delivery method. The ruse used by attackers replicates a pattern in which threat actors weaponize software and websites aimed at preserving and supporting marginalized and repressed cultures to target those same communities. * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Cybersecurity_vendors_are_themselves_under_attack_by hackers,_SentinelOne_says⠀⇛ “It’s practically taboo” for cyber firms to talk about being targeted, but SentinelLabs said in a new report that it has observed multiple threats. * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Cybersecurity_experts_issue_response_to_Convicted Felon_order_targeting_Chris_Krebs,_SentinelOne⠀⇛ The letter, released through the Electronic Frontier Foundation, calls Convicted Felon’s executive order “retaliatory.” * ⚓ Security Week ☛ African_Telecom_Giant_MTN_Group_Discloses_Data_Breach⠀⇛ MTN Group says the personal information of certain customers was compromised in a cybersecurity incident. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Critical_Vulnerabilities_Found_in_Planet_Technology Industrial_Networking_Products⠀⇛ Planet Technology industrial switches and network management products are affected by several critical vulnerabilities.  * ⚓ Security Week ☛ 4_Million_Affected_by_VeriSource_Data_Breach⠀⇛ VeriSource Services says the personal information of 4 million people was compromised in a February 2024 cyberattack. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Craft_CMS_Zero-Day_Exploited_to_Compromise_Hundreds_of Websites⠀⇛ Threat actors have exploited a zero-day vulnerability in Craft CMS to execute PHP code on hundreds of websites. * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ House_passes_bill_to_study_routers’_national security_risks⠀⇛ Lawmakers say the ROUTERS Act is critical to understanding vulnerabilities in devices exploited by Chinese hackers and other adversaries. * ⚓ OpenSSF (Linux Foundation) ☛ Announcing_the_Release_of_“The_Memory Safety_Continuum” [Ed: Hype]⠀⇛ The OpenSSF's Memory Safety SIG has just released "The Memory Safety Continuum".

I never published it: there were a few cross-browser issues, and the idea was raw and unpolished. I have many drafts like this in my archives. Sometimes, something new interacts with one of these older ideas and leads to something interesting. This article is about one such case: a hacky technique that allows us to pass some data from CSS to SVG and use it to adjust colors or almost anything else. * ⚓ Tarnum Java SRL ☛ How_to_Setup_Search_Indexing_for_an_Entire_Linux System⠀⇛ As system administrators, it’s important to be able to quickly locate and manage files on a Linux system. Undoubtedly, this is crucial, especially when troubleshooting or managing large numbers of files. Although we can search for files without indexing, setting up search indexing allows us to quickly search and locate files. In this tutorial, we’ll learn about using find, locate and recoll to find files.

Ubuntu — But before I go any further I should bring those unfamiliar with what a “scrobble” is, up to speed. “Scrobbling” is—no, not one of those old fashioned British words I’m fond of using—the term given to logging the music you listen to, as you listen to it, on services like Last.fm and Libre.fm. When you play a track in a media player that integrates with a compatible service, the track data (song title, artist, album and date and time played) gets “scrobbled” to your profile. Over time, you build up a personal record of your listening habits1 which the service can parse to present you with various data-backed rankings of your most-played tracks, albums and artists, along with suggestions of new music that might suit your tastes.

Consequently, systems attempting to verify the “kali-rolling” repository will throw an error complaining about the missing key “827C 8569 F251 8CC6 77FE CA1A ED65 462E C8D5 E4C5.” Okay, what happened? According to the Kali project, maintainers recently lost access to the previous repository-signing key. Rather than risk any ambiguity about package authenticity, the team chose to freeze the repository on Friday, April 18, 2025, while generating and rigorously validating a replacement key.

Reason is, we had to roll a new signing key for the Kali repository. You need to download and install the new key manually, here’s the one-liner: └─$ sudo wget https://archive.kali.org/archive-keyring.gpg -O / usr/share/keyrings/kali-archive-keyring.gpg Now your Kali is ready to keep rolling!
