real-time distributed OLAP datastore, built to deliver scalable real-time analytics with low latency. It can ingest from batch data sources (such as Hadoop HDFS, Amazon S3, Azure ADLS, Google Cloud Storage) as well as stream data sources (such as Apache Kafka). Pinot was built by engineers at LinkedIn and Uber and is designed to scale up and out with no upper bound. Performance always remains constant based on the size of your cluster and an expected query per second (QPS) threshold. Pinot is designed to execute real-time OLAP queries with low latency on massive amounts of data and events. In addition to real-time stream ingestion, Pinot also supports batch use cases with the same low latency guarantees. It is suited in contexts where fast analytics, such as aggregations, are needed on immutable data, possibly, with real-time data ingestion. Pinot works very well for querying time series data with lots of dimensions and metrics. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ KEditBookmarks_is_a_bookmark_organizer_and_editor_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ KEditBookmarks is a bookmark organizer and editor. In many applications (e.g.Konqueror, Konsole, Konversation) the Bookmarks → Edit Bookmarks option opens the Bookmark Editor. Alternatively you can launch the editor as standalone application to edit the browser bookmarks. The editor shows a tree view of your bookmarks and bookmark subfolders. As is usual for tree views in KDE, subfolders are shown with a small > arrow at the left of the folder name; left clicking on it will expand the view to show the contents of that subfolder and the > arrow will change to v; left clicking on the v arrow will collapse the subfolder view. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ 8_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_NVIDIA_GPU_Monitoring_Tools_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ nvidia-smi (also known as NVSMI) provides monitoring and management capabilities for each of NVIDIA’s Tesla, Quadro and GRID devices from Fermi and higher architecture families. Very limited information is also provided for GeForce devices. It’s based on top of the NVIDIA Management Library (NVML), which helps users manage and monitor NVIDIA GPU devices. NVSMI is a cross platform tool that supports all standard NVIDIA driver-supported Linux distros. * ⚓ BorgWarehouse_is_a_fast_and_modern_WebUI_for_BorgBackup_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ BorgWarehouse is a graphical interface to manage a central BorgBackup repository server. With BorgWarehouse, you have an interface that allows you to do all this simply and quickly * ⚓ Ferron_is_a_web_server_optimized_for_speed,_security_and_efficiency_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Ferron is a fast, memory-safe web server written in Rust. It’s also a fast reverse proxy. It can be extended with modules. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Linux_Candy:_ricksay_-_Rick_and_Morty_quotes_of_the_day_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Who loves eye candy? Don’t be shy — you can raise both hands!! Linux Candy is a series of articles covering interesting eye candy software. We only feature open-source software in this series. You might have heard of cowsay, software that generates ASCII pictures of a cow with a message. cowsay isn’t limited to cow depictions, it also shows other animals, including Tux the Penguin. There’s also ponysay, a rewrite of cowsay with lots of full-color characters from My Little Pony. ricksay builds on the work from ponysay. It provides funny quotes from Rick and Morty Adventures for your console. Rick and Morty is an American adult animated science fiction sitcom. * ⚓ NVIDIA_System_Monitor_is_a_task_manager_monitoring_your_GPU_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ NVIDIA System Monitor is a simple task manager for Linux for NVIDIA graphics cards. It uses Qt. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ str0m_is_a_Sans_I/O_WebRTC_implementation_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ str0m is a Sans I/O WebRTC implementation in Rust. This is a Sans I/O implementation meaning the RTC instance itself is not doing any network talking. Furthermore it has no internal threads or async tasks. All operations are happening from the calls of the public API. str0m is intended to be an all-purpose WebRTC library, which means it also works for peer-2-peer, though that aspect has received less testing. This is free and open source software. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⢷⣇⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠳⣄⠘⣾⡇⢸⣿⡇⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠓⠒⠖⠲⠒⠒⠒⠒⠚⠁⠀⠀⢀⡾⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣀⣀⣠⣄⣀⣀⣰⡏⠀⠙⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢱⣿⡇⢸⣿⣇⡼⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣴⣦⡤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤ ⠙⠉⠙⠋⠉⠉⢹⡇⠀⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⣸⣿⡏⠀⣿⠀⠀⣺⡷⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⠿⠿⠿⢗⣿⣦⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⢀⡼⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠞⣿⠗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠯⣿⣷⢄⡀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡖⠓⠒⠒⠓⠓⠒⠒⠒⢲⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⢗⣿⡦⣀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⠿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣶⣶⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⢻⣧⢠⣴⠶⢶⣆⠰⣿⠶⣠⡶⠶⣶⡄⢸⣷⠶⣶⡄⢠⣶⠶⣶⡄⢠⡶⠶⣦⡀⣠⡶⠶⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡏⠉⢹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⣼⡿⢨⣷⠶⢿⣿⢈⣿⠀⣸⡷⠾⣿⡇⢸⣏⠀⢸⣿⣸⡷⠾⣿⡇⣘⡻⠿⣾⡄⣿⡿⠿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣇⠀⢸⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀ ⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠬⠿⠿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⠿⠿⠿⠛⠁⠘⠿⠶⠟⠿⠀⠻⠷⠙⠷⠾⠻⠇⠸⠿⠶⠟⠃⠙⠿⠶⠻⠷⠙⠿⠶⠟⠁⠙⠿⠾⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⢸⠒⠒⠻⠿⣇ ⢉⣩⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⡟⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈ ⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⣿⠀⢸⡆⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⣿⠀⢸⡇⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡴⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⢦⡀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⣿⠀⢸⡇⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣷⠦⣄⡴⠚⠉⠉⠉⠉⣩⠟⠋⠉⠉⠙⠶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣹⠾⣅⠈⠈⠉⠉⠈⠉⠁⠀⠁⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⣿⠀⢸⡇⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠈⠙⠦⣄⣀⣠⠞⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⢦⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠞⠁⠀⠈⠱⢤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⣿⠀⣘⡷⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⢿⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠻⣟⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣁⣀⣠⡄⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⣿⣼⠁⠀⢸⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡁⠀⠀⢠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣽⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 366 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/03/Brave_browser_A_rather_interesting_Chromium_based_option.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/03/Brave_browser_A_rather_interesting_Chromium_based_option.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Brave browser - A rather interesting Chromium-based option⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on May 03, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇settings_brave⦈_ Quoting: Brave browser - A rather interesting Chromium-based option — For me, my primary browser choice is Firefox, Android included. I simply prefer its interface, its feel, and it's not Chromium-based, which is vital for the diversity of the Web technologies. That said, Brave makes for a pretty reasonable secondary browser in my book. In the end, it does remind me more of Vivaldi than Edge. Now, that said, all, and I mean all, major browsers are bloated. They have waaaay too many options that aren't strictly related to simple, pure browsing. Browsers don't need to be Web-based operating systems. And every option is a potential vulnerability and exploit vector, so the leaner the code the better. Also, saves resources, makes the program smaller. Win win win. Brave brings a lot of interesting things to the table. I like the extensions, I like Shields, I like that you can trim and tweak the Internet pages to be slightly less annoying. Plus, for those who care, there's AI and wallet. The looks are rather generic, but that's kind of expected. For me, the Dashboard is totally unnecessary. I can't tell you how privacy-friendly Brave is in its default form, because in Zorin's build, it was rather friendly, with most if not all of the non-strictly-browser features set to off. That's a pretty good baseline. Anyway, Brave seems like an okay product, and I've rectified a many- year-long gap in my reporting. Will I choose it as my secondary option? Perhaps. At the moment, there isn't a pressing need, but it's comforting to know that should things really go south in the Web space, this browser might offer some extra defense from global stupidity. At the very least, worth testing. As far as browsers go, I think you'll find it interesting.

And, in that sense, Aliexpress has proven to be the best store where to buy the most recommended models. Now they show it again with another offerton that should not be missing. If you have informed about retro -style mini consoles, surely the name of Anbernic sounds to you. It is one of the main brands, one of which manufactures more different models and is always overcoming to increase the potential of this hardware. Therefore, that the offer that Aliexpress is currently doing is at the ANBERNIC ARCO RG-D, is magnificent news. Your discount is maximum and will help you buy the console very easily! * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Pac-Man_meets_a_time-stopping_survivor-like_bullet heaven_in_Maze_Mice_out_in_Early_Access⠀⇛ Maze Mice is the latest game from the developer of the popular Luck be a Landlord, and while many developers continue making their own form of Vampire Survivor-like, this is probably the most unique so far that truly mixes things up as it feels a lot more like Pac-Man.

The introduction of unjust techniques in nonfree software, such as back doors, DRM, tethering, and others, has become ever more frequent. Nowadays, it is standard practice. We at the GNU Project show examples of malware that has been introduced in a wide variety of products and dis-services people use everyday, and of companies that make use of these techniques. ⚓ April 2025⠀⇛ Malware_in_Games o Nintendo has devoted a lot of effort to preventing_users from_installing_third-party_software_on_its_Switch consoles. These are now full-blown jails. Malware_in_Appliances o The company making a “smart” bassinet called Snoo has locked_the_most_advanced_functionalities_of_the_Snoo behind_a_paywall. This unexpected change mainly affects users who received the appliance as a gift, or bought it second-hand on the assumption that all these functionalities would be available to them, as they used to be. This is another example of the deceptive behavior of proprietary software developers who take advantage of their power over users to change rules at will. Another malicious feature of the Snoo is the fact that users need to create an account with the company, which thus has access to personal data, location (SSID), appliance log, etc., as well as manual notes about baby history. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ POLL:_Your_thoughts_on_the_Switch_2⠀⇛ The Nintendo Switch 2 is about to be released one month from now, on June 5th 2025. It’s going to launch with a new Mario Kart game (again!) so you should expect it to sell like hot cakes for a while. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ The_Steam_Deck_is_Back_in_Stock_in_Japan⠀⇛ As you may remember, the Steam Deck (and more particularly the OLED version) was constantly out of stock in Japan in the course of 2024. The situation has since changed, with proper stocks available on the archipelago. Except the older LCD version which is now out of stock (permanently?). This is probably because of two factors: - Larger inventory available worldwide - Potentially less local demand * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Nvidia_RTX_50_GPUs_make_a_small_splash_in_the_Steam Survey_—_AMD_RX_9000_GPUs_remain_absent_from_the_list⠀⇛ The latest Steam Hardware survey does not include an AMD RX 9000-series GPU, despite a few new entries from Nvidia's RTX 50-series lineup. * ⚓ XDA ☛ This_$30_app_is_the_best_purchase_I've_made_for_my_Steam_Deck⠀⇛ Valve has done a remarkable job with the Steam Deck. The hardware itself is great, sure, but the bedrock of Steam makes it easy to transfer your progress from Windows to Linux without any fuss. Once you start going beyond the Game Mode interface, however, you'll quickly recognize a problem: Windows and Linux don't play nicely with each other. As a fan of retro games that uses the Steam Deck as my primary emulation platform, this is a problem I've been trying to deal with for a while. If you install a micro SD card in your Steam Deck, it'll be formatted to the EXT4 file system. Windows doesn't support the EXT4 file system. If you insert your micro SD card into a Windows PC, it'll be formatted to NTFS. The Steam Deck supports NTFS, but you'll need to manually mount the drive each time you reinstall your micro SD card. And, once you go back to Windows, you won't be able to read or write to your micro SD card. When you're frequently transferring ROMs and configuring files between a Windows PC and the Steam Deck, you can see the problem. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ New_Steam_Games_with_Native_GNU/Linux_Clients, including_World_of_Goo_2_and_Replicube_-_2025-04-30_Edition⠀⇛ Between 2025-04-23 and 2025-04-30 there were 62 New Steam games released with Native GNU/Linux clients. For reference, during the same time, there were 620 games released for backdoored Windows on Steam, so the GNU/Linux versions represent about 10 % of total released titles. Lots of good stuff in this week actually. This week marks the release of the sequel of one of the most famous indie games, World of Goo. I remember that was one of the first games I played on Linux, way before Steam had an official client for our operating system. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 706 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/03/GNU_Linux_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/03/GNU_Linux_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 03, 2025 * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Linux_App_Release_Roundup_(April_2025)⠀⇛ April saw a solid set of software updates land for an slew of popular GNU/Linux apps. In this post, I run through a number of recent releases that didn’t get the “full article” treatment on this blog. Sometimes it’s a challenge to cover everything I want to (especially in an Ubuntu release month, as April was), and some updates are rather minor and hard to say too much about.

Developers will notice smoother workflows with GDB 16.3’s smarter multithreaded debugging and better tracing tools, while gamers and multimedia users will see enhanced GPU performance and stability thanks to Mesa 25.0.4 and critical fixes in FFmpeg 7.1.1. Audio reliability has improved across more devices with SBC 2.1 and new kernel-firmware-sound 20250408 updates. Meanwhile, major updates to KDE Gear 25.04.0, GTK4 4.18.3, and system packages like iproute2 6.14 and rsyslog 8.2502 bring refinements that enhance daily desktop, server, and development environments. Numerous security vulnerabilities have also been patched across Mozilla Firefox 137.0, PHP 8.4.5, OpenVPN 2.6.14, and Python 3.13.3.. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_Summit_&_AnsibleFest_2025: Ansible_sessions_you_don’t_want_to_miss⠀⇛ The AnsibleFest mainstage keynote is an attendee favorite every year.

It is an update to the SO-ARM100 DIY open-source robotic arm kit introduced last year with LeRobot framework support. The new SO-ARM101 is still comprised of leader and follower arms but features improved wiring to prevent disconnection issues previously seen at joint 3, motors with optimized gear ratios, and a few functionality where the leader arm can now follow the follower arm in real-time, which will be used for reinforcement learning (RL) where a human can intervene and correct the robot’s actions. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Walnut_Pi_2B_is_an_Allwinner_T527_octa-core_SBC_with Raspberry_Pi_5_form_factor_and_interfaces⠀⇛ Walnut Pi 2B is a single board computer (SBC) powered by an Allwinner T527 octa-core Cortex-A55 SoC with a built-in 2 TOPS Hey Hi (AI) accelerator that closely follows the Raspberry Pi 5 design for compatibility with most HAT+ expansion boards and accessories. The Walnut Pi 2B SBC ships with 1GB to 4GB LPDDR4 RAM, an optional 32GB eMMC flash, and features a microSD card slot, gigabit Ethernet, four USB ports, a WiFI and Bluetooth module, MIPI DSI/CSI connectors, and the same PCIe FFC connector as found on the Raspberry Pi 5, and a 40-pin GPIO. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Raspberry_Pi_slices_Compute_Module_4_prices⠀⇛ The Compute Module 4 (CM4) debuted in 2020 and was a departure from the DDR2 SODIMM form factor that had gone before it. Earlier this year, a fully loaded variant with 8 GB RAM and 32 GB of eMMC storage could be had for $95. The price is now $85. A non-wireless 4 GB Lite variant, with no eMMC storage, has dropped from $50 to $45. * ⚓ Jonas Hietala ☛ Jonas_Hietala:_Some_VORON_0_mods⠀⇛ I recently completed my VORON 0 build and I was determined to leave it as-is for a while and to start modding my VORON Trident… So before embarking om my larger Trident modding journey I decided to work on the VORON 0 just a little bit more. * ⚓ Ken Shirriff ☛ The_absurdly_complicated_circuitry_for_the_386 processor's_registers⠀⇛ The groundbreaking Intel 386 processor (1985) was the first 32- bit processor in the x86 architecture. Like most processors, the 386 contains numerous registers; registers are a key part of a processor because they provide storage that is much faster than main memory. The register set of the 386 includes general- purpose registers, index registers, and segment selectors, as well as registers with special functions for memory management and operating system implementation. In this blog post, I look at the silicon die of the 386 and explain how the processor implements its main registers. It turns out that the circuitry that implements the 386's registers is much more complicated than one would expect. For the 30 registers that I examine, instead of using a standard circuit, the 386 uses six different circuits, each one optimized for the particular characteristics of the register. For some registers, Intel squeezes register cells together to double the storage capacity. Other registers support accesses of 8, 16, or 32 bits at a time. Much of the register file is "triple-ported", allowing two registers to be read simultaneously while a value is written to a third register. Finally, I was surprised to find that registers don't store bits in order: the lower 16 bits of each register are interleaved, while the upper 16 bits are stored linearly. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ 3D_Printed_Spirograph_Makes_Art_Out_Of_Walnut⠀⇛ Who else remembers Spirograph?

For example, if a bug is found in the system’s firmware that enables a clever developer to run “Hello World”, you can bet that the next thing somebody tries to write is a loader that exploits that same bug to play a ripped commercial game. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Banana_Pi_BPI-R4_Advances_5G_Gateway_Design_with OpenMPTCProuter_Support⠀⇛ Banana Pi’s new BPI-R4 is a 5G aggregation gateway built for edge networking.

The post got linked by Hackernews and Reddit. As is usual the majority of comments did not talk about the actual content but instead were focused on two tangential things. The first one being "this is not a full implementation of the C++ standard library as specified by the ISO standard, therefore the author is an idiot". I am, in actual fact, an idiot, but not due to project scope but because I assumed people on the Internet to have elementary reading comprehension skills. To make things clear: no, this is not an implementation of the ISO standard library. At no point was such a thing claimed. There is little point in writing one of those, there are several high quality implementations available. "Standard library" in this context means "a collection of low level functions and types that would be needed by most applications". * ⚓ Dr Jonathan Carroll ☛ Rotation_with_Modulo⠀⇛ How well do you know your fundamental operators in different languages? ‘Easy’ examples help to fortify that knowledge, and comparing across languages makes for some neat implementation detail discoveries. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Rotation_with_Modulo⠀⇛ How well do you know your fundamental operators in different languages? * ⚓ Rlang ☛ 30_Day_Chart_Challenge_2025⠀⇛ The 30 Day Chart Challenge is a data visualisation challenge organised by Cédric Scherer and Dominic Royé.

This prevents proprietary drivers from becoming commonplace and protects the Linux ecosystem from being flooded with proprietary "drivers" that never needed to be drivers in the first place. This has pushed Nvidia forward when it comes to open-source GPU drivers on Linux, and brought it more in line with Intel and AMD's approach, where there's a fully open-source kernel module that utilizes a firmware blob. What this means for anti-cheat software, though, is that it won't tightly couple with the kernel in the same way that a cheat developer could potentially achieve, unless the anti-cheat was also GPL compliant. A cheat developer could build their own Linux distribution as part of their offerings, with their cheat baked into the kernel. While that would technically violate the GPL as well, there would be no way to compel them to release their source code. Unlike Nvidia, which can't modify the Linux kernel on every machine that installs its drivers, a cheat developer could simply modify the Linux kernel to support their custom-made drivers and distribute a custom distro for their cheat to work with the included anti-cheat.

HowTo Geek ☛ 6_Ways_to_View_or_Open_a_File_in_the_Linux_Terminal⠀⇛ Gaining control over the Linux operating system requires mastering the terminal—and one of the foundational skills is learning how to open files from the command line. This not only builds confidence in using the Linux OS, but also opens the door to faster workflows and automation. * ⚓ How_to_change_your_hostname_or_computer_name_on_Ubuntu_Linux⠀⇛ The first time I set up my Ubuntu Linux OS, I didn’t know they used the computer name entered as the default hostname. So, when I finally got in, you can imagine my shock working on the terminal with this long hostname “HP EliteBook x360 1030 G2” staring at me. I struggled to find my way around it, but that wasn’t till after I’d used that lengthy hostname for a while. * ⚓ TecMint ☛ 15_Easy_Ways_to_Speed_Up_Ubuntu_in_2025⠀⇛ In this article, we’ll explore 15 simple yet effective tips to help you get Ubuntu running at top speed. From small tweaks to system-wide optimizations, we’ve got you covered. * ⚓ TecMint ☛ Top_25_Network_Ports_You_Must_Know_for_Interviews⠀⇛ This article covers the top 25 ports you should know by heart, including what each one does, the protocol behind it, and why it matters. Whether you’re a beginner or just need a refresher, this guide is crafted to be simple, practical, and interview- ready. * ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Use_Shutdown,_Poweroff,_Halt,_and_Reboot_Commands_in Linux⠀⇛ If you’re diving into Linux server administration, these are some of the important Linux commands you need to fully understand for effective and reliable server administration. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2601 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/03/today_s_howtos.2.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/03/today_s_howtos.2.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 03, 2025 * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ The_HTTP_status_codes_of_responses_from_about 22_hours_of_traffic_to_here_(part_2)⠀⇛ A few months ago, I wrote an entry about this topic, because I'd started putting in some blocks against crawlers, including things that claimed to be old versions of browsers, and I'd also started rate-limiting syndication feed fetching. Unfortunately, my rules at the time were flawed, rejecting a lot of people that I actually wanted to accept. So here are some revised numbers from today, a day when my logs suggest that I've seen what I'd call broadly typical traffic and traffic levels. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ The_complexity_of_mixing_mesh_networking_and routes_to_subnets⠀⇛ One of the in things these days is encrypted (overlay) mesh networks, where you have a bunch of nodes and the nodes have encrypted connections to each other that they use for (at least) internal IP traffic. WireGuard is one of the things that can be used for this. A popular thing to add to such mesh network solutions is 'subnet routes', where nodes will act as gateways to specific subnets, not just endpoints in themselves. This way, if you have an internal network of servers at your cloud provider, you can establish a single node on your mesh network and route to the internal network through that node, rather than having to enroll every machine in the internal network. * ⚓ Simos Xenitellis ☛ Simos_Xenitellis:_How_to_run_a_GNU/Linux_Desktop virtual_machine_on_Incus⠀⇛ Incus is a manager for virtual machines and system containers. A virtual machine (VM) is an instance of an operating system that runs on a computer, along with the main operating system. A virtual machine uses hardware virtualization features for the separation from the main operating system. With virtual machines, the full operating system boots up in them. While in most cases you would run GNU/Linux on a VM without a desktop environment, you can also run GNU/Linux with a desktop environment (like in VirtualBox and VMWare). * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Proton_VPN_on_Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ Privacy has become a paramount concern for internet users worldwide. As a GNU/Linux user, you’re likely already privacy-conscious, but adding a reliable VPN to your system takes security to the next level. Proton VPN stands out among VPN providers with its strong commitment to privacy, security, and open-source values that align well with GNU/Linux philosophy. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Memcached_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Memcached is a powerful, open-source memory caching system that significantly enhances the performance of dynamic websites by storing frequently accessed data in RAM. By reducing database load and speeding up applications, it has become an essential tool for developers and system administrators looking to optimize their web applications. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Snort_on_Manjaro⠀⇛ Enhancing your network security is essential in today’s increasingly connected world, and Snort is one of the most powerful tools available for intrusion detection and prevention. As a lightweight yet robust network intrusion detection system (NIDS), Snort offers Manjaro users an excellent way to monitor and secure their networks against potential threats. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Next.js_on_CentOS_Stream_10⠀⇛ Next.js has become an indispensable framework in modern web development, offering powerful features for building React applications with server-side rendering, static site generation, and seamless routing. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting your journey with React, deploying Next.js on CentOS Stream 10 provides a robust and stable environment for your web applications. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_PulseAudio_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Fedora 42 continues the modern GNU/Linux audio trend by using PipeWire as its default audio server. While PipeWire offers excellent performance and compatibility for most users, there are situations where you might need to install the traditional PulseAudio system instead. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_qBittorrent_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ qBittorrent stands out as one of the most reliable BitTorrent clients available for GNU/Linux users today. With Fedora 42’s recent release, many users are looking for efficient ways to install and configure this powerful torrenting application on their systems. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_LEMP_Stack_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install LEMP on Fedora 42. The LEMP stack represents a powerful combination of software components that work together to deliver dynamic websites and web applications. * ⚓ Own HowTo ☛ How_to_install_XRDP_on_Rocky_GNU/Linux_9⠀⇛ XRDP is an open source remote desktop server that allows you to create a RDP server on Rocky GNU/Linux 9. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install xrdp on Rocky GNU/Linux 9. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ A_Quick_Fix_to_Improve_the_Battery_Life_of_Your_AMD Framework_13⠀⇛ As you probably know, I have been fairly clear that the Framework laptops I have had on my hands tend to have poor sleep performance (losing 10 to 20% of battery overnight). I guess you can live with that, but it’s far from optimal. Turns out that it’s very likely a hardware issue with some wireless chipsets not turning off properly and causing the computer to wake up from sleep unstead of being able to minimize its power footprint properly. There is a simple fix you can apply to help with this situation, at least for the AMD Framework 13. * ⚓ How_to_Install_Waterfox_on_FunOS⠀⇛ Looking for a privacy-focused and performance-optimized web browser as an alternative to Firefox or Chrome? Waterfox might be just what you need. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the complete steps to install Waterfox on FunOS, from downloading the installation file to integrating it into the system menu. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2785 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/03/today_s_howtos.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/03/today_s_howtos.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 03, 2025 * ⚓ Linux Journal ☛ How_to_Build_Custom_Distributions_from_Scratch⠀⇛ In a world teeming with GNU/Linux distributions — from Ubuntu to Arch, Debian to Fedora — the idea of building your own may seem daunting, if not redundant. Yet, for many technologists, enthusiasts, and developers, creating a custom GNU/Linux distribution isn't just an exercise in reinvention; it's an act of empowerment. Whether your goal is to tailor a lightweight OS for embedded devices, create a secure workstation, develop an education-focused system, or simply understand GNU/Linux more intimately, building your own distribution is one of the most fulfilling journeys in open-source computing. This guide walks you through every stage of creating your own GNU/Linux distribution — from selecting core components to building, customizing, and distributing your personalized operating system. * ⚓ Setup_firewalld_and_KVM_on_openSUSE_Leap_16_Beta_manually⠀⇛ Finally I had decided to skip deployment templates for KVM Host and Cockpit Web Console for openSUSE Leap 16 Beta KVM Guest. * ⚓ Jonathan_McDowell:_Local_Voice_Assistant_Step_2:_Speech_to_Text_and back⠀⇛ Having setup an ATOM_Echo_Voice_Satellite and hooked it up to Home_Assistant we now need to actually do something with the captured audio. Home Assistant largely deals with voice assistants using the Wyoming_Protocol, which describes itself as essentially JSONL + PCM audio. It works nicely in terms of meaning everything can exist as separate modules that then just communicate over network sockets, and there are a whole bunch of Python implementations of the pieces necessary. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2844 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/03/today_s_leftovers.1.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/03/today_s_leftovers.1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 03, 2025, updated May 03, 2025 * § GNU/Linux and BSD⠀➾ o § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ # § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ This Week in GNOME ☛ This_Week_in_GNOME:_#198_Two More_Weeks...⠀⇛ Update on what happened across the GNOME project in the week from April 25 to May 02. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ Undeadly ☛ Call_for_testing_and_comment:_Make_the_installer prefer_>1G_disks⠀⇛ You can tell it's right after a release is cut when new ideas are fielded in patches to tech@. One such small but potentially important change that is being aired now is a change to the installer to suggest the larger one when several disks are available. Klemens Nanni (kn@) describes the motivation for the change as [...] # ⚓ FreeBSD ☛ The_Hidden_Costs_of_Stagnation:_Why_Running_EOL Software_is_a_Ticking_Time_Bomb⠀⇛ In the world of infrastructure and systems administration, one of the most persistent myths is the idea that “if it works, don’t touch it.” Stability is often mistaken for security, and the longer a system runs without incident, the greater the temptation to leave it undisturbed. But this approach, while comforting in the short term, invites long-term risks that can quietly accumulate into catastrophic failures. This article explores why regularly updating your systems and avoiding end-of-life (EOL) software is not just good practice — it is essential for operational security, maintainability, and resilience. o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Ben_Hutchings:_FOSS_activity_in_April_2025⠀⇛ # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ Debian_13_‘Trixie’:_What’s_New_in_the_Next_GNU/ Linux_Powerhouse⠀⇛ Debian is a popular GNU/Linux system loved by many for being stable, free, and flexible. The next big release, Debian 13, codenamed “Trixie”, is coming in 2025, and it’s packed with exciting updates. Let’s dive into what makes Trixie special, from new features to better hardware support, all explained in simple words. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ Rodrigo Ghedin ☛ Another_way_to_be_part_of_the_fediverse/ ActivityPub⠀⇛ I’ve been thinking of ActivityPub more as an extra layer for existing websites to become “social,” eliminating the middleman (like Twitter, for example), rather than a direct replacement for social networks like Twitter. Instead of posting on a blog and then writing a tweet (to follow the example) announcing the blog post, the blog post itself is published directly to the timelines of those who follow you on Twitter. This is impossible on Twitter/X, but perfectly feasible with ActivityPub. o § Events⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Supercon_2024:_Turning_Talk_Into_Action⠀⇛ Most of us have some dream project or three that we’d love to make a reality. We bring it up all the time with friends, muse on it at work, and research it during our downtime. But that’s just talk—and it doesn’t actually get the project done! o § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Open_Document_Format_turns_20,_but Microsoft_Office_still_reigns_supreme [Ed: The Register misframes the issue here; in many ways]⠀⇛ It's been 20 years since the Open Document Format (ODF) became a standard, marking a milestone in the push for open, vendor-neutral file formats — and the beginning of a long but largely unsuccessful attempt to loosen Microsoft Office's grip on the desktop. Back when the consumer internet was young, there were concerns about US-based private companies dominating applications and data. Microsoft Office ruled the roost, and if you wanted to open a file created by it, you had to be running a copy of the suite yourself. Sun Microsystems (remember them?) came up with OpenOffice, chiefly by building on the codebase of StarOffice, a suite it picked up in 1999 after acquiring German developer Star Division. At the time, some reports joked that the deal cost less than kitting out Sun staff with Microsoft Office licenses, though the real motive was likely strategic as much as financial. o § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ # ⚓ Bob Monsour ☛ 1_+_1:_Celebrating_2_years_of_the_11ty Bundle⠀⇛ When does 1 + 1 equal 2? Well, in javascript, if those '1's are numbers, then yeah, it does equal 2. But when the '1's are strings, then it equals 11. And that brings us to the fact that today is the 2nd birthday of the launch of 11tybundle.dev. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3018 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/03/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/03/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 03, 2025 * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § PCLinuxOS/Mageia/Mandriva/OpenMandriva Family⠀➾ # ⚓ PCLOS Official ☛ PCLinuxOS_Recent_Updates⠀⇛ o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Gulf News ☛ What_living_every_day_ready_to_be_fired_does_to you⠀⇛ Just ask the employees of IBM. The once-mighty tech giant made headlines when recent reports surfaced that some managers had been instructed to force out employees without a clear performance — a classic layoff strategy. § 9,000 job cuts * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Thunderbird_joins_Firefox_on_the_monthly treadmill⠀⇛ Mozilla has lobbed out Firefox 138, and subsidiary MZLA's Thunderbird 138 isn't far behind. The venerable messaging client is picking up the pace and finally syncing its stride with the browser that spawned it. o ⚓ Seth Michael Larson ☛ Better_boosting_on_Mastodon_with_smart clients⠀⇛ So what can be done about the above issues while maintaining a linear algorithm-less timeline? o ⚓ Debuting_at_XR_EXPO_2025⠀⇛ Join us in Stuttgart, Germany for XR EXPO 2025! This two- day event will be the meeting place for the XR community to exchange ideas and explore the latest trends. o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Blurry_Image_Placeholders,_Generated_With Minimal_CSS⠀⇛ Low-quality image placeholders (LQIPs) have a solid place in web page design. There are many different solutions but the main gotcha is that generating them tends to lean on things like JavaScript, requires lengthy chunks of not-particularly-human- readable code, or other tradeoffs. [Lean] came up with an elegant, minimal solution in pure CSS to create LQIPs. o § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ # ⚓ Alex Chan ☛ A_faster_way_to_copy_SQLite_databases_between computers⠀⇛ By creating a text dump before I start the copy operation, I’m giving rsync a stable copy source. That text dump isn’t going to change midway through the copy, so I’ll always get a complete and consistent text file. o § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ # ⚓ Gergely Nagy ☛ The_cost_of_poison⠀⇛ We will be talking purely about quantifiable costs, we will not touch on ethics and the like. Just pure numbers, untainted by anyone’s opinion on the values and methodologies of the Adversaries. Lets set the stage! o § GNU Projects⠀➾ # ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Blogs:_April_GNU_Spotlight_with_Amin_Bandali: Twenty-one_new_GNU_releases!⠀⇛ Twenty-one new GNU releases in the last month (as of April 30, 2025): [...] o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Rlang ☛ Explained_vs. Predictive_Power:_R²,_Adjusted_R², and_Beyond⠀⇛ You trust R².

People tend to take Friday off, too, which in turn makes the entire work week very short (but gives the enthusiast more time to hack on things to balance it out).
