Arch is fast, stable, and secure and also allowing you to have a great experience even on older computers. However, Arch Linux is also aimed at more experienced users. As such, it is generally considered to be beyond the reach of those who need more technical expertise or persistence to use it. This is why CatOS was born, to inherit the advantages of Arch while making it more user-friendly, so that you can enjoy it without complicated installation and configuration.

The ultimate reason for this is Moore's law, or rather its generalization of continued exponentially falling cost per unit of computation. Most AI research has been conducted as if the computation available to the agent were constant (in which case leveraging human knowledge would be one of the only ways to improve performance) but, over a slightly longer time than a typical research project, massively more computation inevitably becomes available. Seeking an improvement that makes a difference in the shorter term, researchers seek to leverage their human knowledge of the domain, but the only thing that matters in the long run is the leveraging of computation. These two need not run counter to each other, but in practice they tend to. Time spent on one is time not spent on the other. There are psychological commitments to investment in one approach or the other. And the human-knowledge approach tends to complicate methods in ways that make them less suited to taking advantage of general methods leveraging computation. There were many examples of AI researchers' belated learning of this bitter lesson, and it is instructive to review some of the most prominent. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 466 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/08/Debian_debates_AI_models_and_the_DFSG.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/08/Debian_debates_AI_models_and_the_DFSG.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Debian debates AI models and the DFSG⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 08, 2025 The Debian project is discussing a General Resolution (GR) that would, if approved, clarify that AI models must include training data to be compliant with the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG) and be distributed by Debian as free software. While GR discussions are sometimes contentious, the discussion around the proposal from Debian developer Mo Zhou has been anything but—there seems to be consensus that AI models are not DFSG-compliant if they lack training data. There are, however, some questions about the exact language and questions about the impact the GR will have on existing packages in the Debian archive. While many folks in the free-software community are generally skeptical about AI and would be happy to see the trend come to an end, Zhou is certainly not in the anti-AI camp. He is a Ph.D. student at Johns Hopkins University, and his academic web site states that his research interest is in computer vision and machine learning. He has created a project called DebGPT that explores using LLMs to aid in Debian development. Clearly, he sees some value in the technology, but also wants to adhere to free-software principles.

Sure things mostly work now, but I guess the big lesson is that if you are a seasoned enough computer toucher, eventually you will stumble your way into a murder mystery and find out that you are both the killer and the victim being killed at the same time. [...] I had recently just installed Fedora 41 on my tower and had no issues. My tower has an older CPU and motherboard so I didn't expect any problems. Most of that hardware I listed above was released after Fedora 41 was released in late October 2024. I expected some issues for hardware compatibility for the first boot, but figured that an update and reboot would fix it. From experience I know that Fedora doesn't ever roll new install images after they release a major version. This makes sense from their perspective for mirror bandwidth reasons. When we booted into the installer on his tower, the screen was stuck at 1024x768 on a 21:9 ultrawide. Fine enough, we can deal with that. The bigger problem was the fact that the ethernet card wasn't working. It wasn't detected in the PCI device tree. Luckily the board shipped with an embedded Wi-Fi card, so we used that to limp our way into Fedora. I figured it'd be fine after some updates. It was not fine after that. The machine failed to boot after that round of updates. It felt like the boot splash screen was somehow getting the GPU driver into a weird state and the whole system hung. Verbose boot didn't work. I was almost worried that we had dead hardware or something. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ The_time_is_right_for_telcos_to_break_free⠀⇛ Telecommunication service providers in fiercely competitive and saturated markets have a near constant two-pronged strategic mission: drive operational efficiencies to reduce costs and uncover new revenue streams.Over the years, new technologies including network virtualisation, cloud-native architectures and API-driven monetisation have emerged with the potential to turn service provider ambitions into reality. * ⚓ PR Newswire ☛ Cockroach_Labs_Brings_Distributed_SQL_to_IBM_LinuxONE_and Linux_on_IBM_Z⠀⇛ Cockroach Labs, a pioneer in cloud-native distributed SQL databases, today announced that its flagship product CockroachDB will support IBM LinuxONE and IBM Z systems.

Still based on Debian 12 ”Bookworm,” this build is likely the last one in this series before Debian 13 “Trixie” arrives later this summer. The new version introduces a revamped screen‑locking mechanism built atop a modified Swaylock application. Whereas Swaylock’s default blank screen could leave users wondering what to do next, the Foundation’s custom frontend now provides clear visual cues and a password entry field. Consequently, locking the display via “Ctrl+Alt+L” or through the shutdown menu feels far more intuitive. Once the password is submitted and validated, the desktop seamlessly reappears—no more second‑guessing whether the lock actually engaged in the first place. Read_on Update Some more about this: * ⚓ Distribution_Release:_Raspberry_Pi_OS_2025-05-06⠀⇛ Simon Long has announced the release of a new version of Raspberry Pi OS, a Debian-based distribution designed for the low-cost Raspberry Pi mini-computers. The 2025-05-06 version introduces new screen-locking and auto-login features: [...] * ⚓ A_new_Raspberry_Pi_OS_release⠀⇛ As many of you already know, Debian Linux works on a two-year release cycle – every odd-numbered year, a new major version is released, and it being 2025, there will be one in the next few months. * ⚓ Raspberry_Pi_OS_updated_with_new_lock_screen,_better_printer application,_and_more⠀⇛ The Raspberry Pi OS has been updated.

"As many of you already know, Debian Linux works on a two-year release cycle — every odd-numbered year a new major version is released, and it being 2025 there will be one in the next few months," explains Raspberry Pi's Simon Long of the company's plans for the next operating system refresh. "So this is probably the final release of Raspberry Pi OS which is based on Debian 'Bookworm,' before Debian 'Trixie' is released this summer." Also here: * ⚓ Raspberry_Pi_OS_Gets_One_More_Update_Before_Debian_13⠀⇛ Raspberry Pi OS, the main recommended operating system for Raspberry Pi computers, just received a helpful update. This might be the last version based on Debian 12 ‘Bookworm,’ ahead of the expected release of Debian 13 ‘Trixie’ in a few months. Raspberry Pi OS is the desktop Linux distribution developed by Raspberry Pi, with a modified LXDE desktop environment, some built-in educational software, and various tweaks to get the best experience out of performance-limited Pi systems. There are many other operating systems available for Pi computers, including Ubuntu, RetroPie, Android, and Kali Linux, but Raspberry Pi OS is essentially the default software experience. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⣋⣉⣉⣁⣙⠻⣿⣿⠟⣋⣉⣉⣉⣛⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⢸⣿⣿⣟⠿⣿⣿⡌⢀⣿⣿⠿⣟⣿⣿⡇⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠻⣿⣿⣿⣮⠙⠁⠈⠋⣵⣾⣿⣿⠟⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠌⢙⡛⠉⣀⣤⣤⣀⠉⢛⡋⠡⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢡⣾⠿⠋⠀⠿⣿⣿⠿⠂⠙⢿⣷⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠈⠁⣴⣾⣶⣶⡀⢀⣶⣿⣷⣦⠉⢁⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢡⣾⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣷⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠘⣿⠁⠈⠻⠿⠟⣋⣤⣤⣈⠻⠿⠛⠀⠸⡿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⣴⣶⣄⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⣴⣿⣷⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠻⣿⣿⣧⠈⠿⣿⣿⡿⠃⣾⣿⣿⠟⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣌⠛⠃⢀⣤⣤⣤⣤⡀⠙⠛⣩⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣌⡛⠻⠟⢋⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠉⠛⢻⡿⢿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⢻⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⠛⢙⠛⢏⠙⣿⠏⠉⠙⢻⠛⠋⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠒⠂⠀⢈⡀⠀⠚⠀⠆⠈⠀⢰⠀⡉⠀⠀⣸⠀⣤⡆⢠⣤⠀⠃⢐⣿⠀⢈⣠⡆⠀⣿⠀⠸⠀⢀⠤⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣾⣀⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣾⣶⣿⣷⣾⣿⣂⣠⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣷⣶⣿⣷⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 777 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/08/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_and_Openwashing_Fakes_or_Wo.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/08/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_and_Openwashing_Fakes_or_Wo.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software and Openwashing (Fakes or Worse)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 08, 2025 * ⚓ PowerDNS ☛ PowerDNS_Authoritative_Server_4.9.5⠀⇛ Note that per our End of life policy, the release of version 4.9 marked the end of support for version 4.6. * § Openwashing⠀➾ o ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ AI_taught_to_analyze_backdoored_Windows_crash dumps,_released_to_open_source_—_'like_going_from_hunting_with_a stone_spear_to_using_a_guided_missile' [Ed: Openwashing Windows with hype factor, "hey hi"]⠀⇛ Brings crash dump analysis into the Hey Hi (AI) era by integrating Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub Copilot with WinDBG. o ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Neo4j_goes_serverless,_bringing_graph_analytics to_any_data_source⠀⇛ Neo4j Inc. today announced a new serverless offering that dramatically simplifies the deployment of its graph database offering, making it easier to use with artificial intelligence applications. o ⚓ Dev Class ☛ OpenSearch_3.0_hits:_First_major_release_under_Linux Foundation_as_it_battles_ElasticSearch_for_mindshare [Ed: By Microsoft Tim]⠀⇛ The OpenSearch Software Foundation, part of the Linux Foundation, has released OpenSearch 3.0, with experimental GPU-accelerated vector indexing, MCP (model context protocol) support, and modernization of its core Java code. o ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Enable_or_Disable_Word_Wrap_in_VS_Code [Ed: VS Code is proprietary spyware of a nasty company, Microsoft.

The server communicates network configurations (primarily assigning available IPs and the gateway via an API), and the client reads and applies them. All other files that would normally need to persist between reboots are encrypted locally using the TPM and then uploaded in encrypted form to the configuration server. This way, the configuration server never has access to the machine’s keys and cannot directly compromise it—except possibly through Denial of Service, such as distributing invalid IPs or corrupted backups. o ⚓ A_Little_Bit_Now,_A_Lotta_Bit_Later⠀⇛ Quick Settings has a new “Prevent Sleep” toggle Leo added a new “Prevent Sleep” toggle.

We now have proper schedule snoozing, so when you manually toggle Dark Mode on or off while using a timed or sunset-to- sunrise schedule, your schedule will resume on the next schedule change instead of being canceled completely.

The Linux Mint project leader also unveiled the codename of the upcoming LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) 7 distribution as “Gigi”. While Linux Mint 22.2 will pretty much look and feel exactly like Linux Mint 22.1 “Xia”, the team plans to improve the default Mint-Y theme by adding a little bit of blue to “make grey slightly more metallic looking and appear more modern”, according to Clement Lefebvre. Read_on OMG Ubuntu: * ⚓ Linux_Mint_22.2_Modernises_its_Default_Theme_-_OMG!_Ubuntu⠀⇛ Linux Mint 22.2 (due to be released in late July or early August) has been officially named ‘Zara’, so continuing distro lead Clem’s codename convention of choosing female names in (somewhat) alphabetical order for each new version. I only say somewhat since Linux Mint 22.1 release was dubbed ‘Xia‘, while Linux Mint 22.2 jumps straight to ‘Zara’. Even with my lackadaisical attention to letter ordering, I know a ‘Y’ comes between ‘X’ and ‘Z’. Perhaps Clem had a dodgy date in the past with a Yara, Yasmin, Yvette, Yvonne or Yelena… Anyway, the codename of the next version is not what most Linux Mint fans will care about. No, top of the “ooh” list will be the changes made to its default theme. ⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⢀⣘⣿⣃⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣴⣶⠿⠶⣶⣼⣻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣯⣤⢀⣤⣠⣬⣛⢷⣟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣇⠻⣯⢿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠻⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣤⣶⣦⣴⢲⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣦⡹⣿⣿⣬⣥⣿⡇⣿⡇⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣎⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⡩⡭⣽⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣍⣉⠉⢩⢉⣉⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣶⣍⣉⣩⣀⣴⣿⠇⠀⠉⠉⣩⣄⣴⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠷⣷⡿⢾⣯⣿⣿⡶⢾⢶⣝⣿⡛⣒⣛⣿⣿⣟⣛⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡿⣿⡿⢿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠛⣛⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⢉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣛⣿⠛⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⣿⣟⣟⢛⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣉⣉⡛⢩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢻⣿⣿⠿⠿⠟⣛⣋⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠾⣿⠧⠥⠬⠤⢹⣯⣿⣷⣶⣶⣴⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⡗⡒⠖⢖⣺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⠿⠿⠟⢛⣩⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⢿⣿⣿⠈⣻⣛⣿⣟⣃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⢰⣭⣽⣿⣥⣽⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠿⠿⢛⣫⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠷⢶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠾⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⢻⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⢱⣦⣶⡎⠶⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢩⡍⠍⢭⢽ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1435 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/08/LWN_on_Linux_Kernel_and_Programming.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/08/LWN_on_Linux_Kernel_and_Programming.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ LWN on Linux Kernel and Programming⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 08, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Martin_Lau⦈_ * ⚓ LWN ☛ Inline_socket-local_storage_for_BPF⠀⇛ Martin Lau gave a talk in the BPF track of the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit about a performance problem plaguing the networking subsystem, and some potential ways to fix it. He works on BPF programs that need to store socket-local data; amid other improvements to the networking and BPF subsystems, retrieving that data has become a noticeable bottleneck for his use case. His proposed fix prompted a good deal of discussion about how the data should be laid out. One day, Lau said, Yonghong Song showed him an instruction- level profile of some kernel code from the networking subsystem. Two instructions in particular were much hotter than it seemed like they should be. In bpf_sk_storage_get() (which looks up socket-local data for a BPF program), the inline function bpf_local_storage_lookup() needs to dereference two pointers in order to retrieve the user data associated with a given socket. As it turns out, both of those pointer indirections were causing expensive cache misses. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Better_debugging_information_for_inlined_kernel_functions⠀⇛ Modern compilers perform a lot of optimizations, which can complicate debugging. Song Liu and Thierry Treyer spoke about a potential improvement to BPF Type Format (BTF) debugging information that could partially combat that problem at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit. They want to add information on selectively inlined functions to BTF in order to better support tracing tools. Treyer participated remotely. One of the most common compiler optimizations is inlining, which embeds the code of a function directly into its caller, avoiding the overhead of a function call and potentially exposing other hidden optimization opportunities. Modern compilers don't always inline every call to a particular function that would benefit from inlining, however. The compiler uses heuristics to decide which call sites will benefit from inlining. This means that a programmer can easily end up with a situation where a function still appears in a binary's symbol table (because some calls were not inlined), but tracing that function won't show calls to it (because the hot calls were inlined, and therefore the function's symbol no longer referrs to them). * ⚓ LWN ☛ Freezing_filesystems_for_suspend⠀⇛ Sometimes worms have a tendency to multiply once their can is opened. James Bottomley recently encountered that situation; he led a session in the filesystem track at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF) to discuss filesystem behavior with respect to suspending and resuming the system. As he noted in his topic proposal, he came at the problem because he needed a way to resynchronize the contents of efivarfs after a system resume and thought there should be an API available to use. But, as the resulting thread shows, the filesystem freeze and thaw code had never been used by the system-wide suspend and resume code. Due to a scheduling mixup, though, several of us missed Bottomley's session, including Luis Chamberlain who has been working on hooking those two pieces up; what follows is largely from a second session that Chamberlain led, with some background information from the topic-proposal discussion and an email exchange with Bottomley. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Cache_awareness_for_the_CPU_scheduler⠀⇛ The kernel's CPU scheduler has to balance a wide range of objectives. The tasks in the system must be scheduled fairly, with latency for any given task kept within bounds. All of the CPUs in the system should be kept busy if there is enough work to do, but unneeded CPUs should be shut down to reduce power consumption. A task should also run on the CPU that is most likely to have cached the memory that task is using. This patch series from Chen Yu aims to improve how the scheduler handles cache locality for multi-threaded processes. RAM is fast, but it is still unable to provide data at anything resembling the rate that a CPU can consume it. For this reason, systems are built with multiple layers of cache that are meant to hold frequently used data and make it available more quickly. Reading a value from cache is relatively fast; a read that goes all the way to RAM, instead, can stall a CPU for the time it takes to execute hundreds of instructions. Making effective use of cache is, thus, important for an application to perform well. Well-written applications are implemented with cache behavior in mind, but the kernel has a role to play as well. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Some___nonstring___turbulence⠀⇛ New compiler releases often bring with them new warnings; those warnings are usually welcome, since they help developers find problems before they turn into nasty bugs. Adapting to new warnings can also create disruption in the development process, though, especially when an important developer upgrades to a new compiler at an unfortunate time. This is just the scenario that played out with the 6.15-rc3 kernel release and the implementation of -Wunterminated-string-initialization in GCC 15. [...] Torvalds stood his ground, though, blaming Cook for not having gotten the fixes into the mainline quickly enough. That is where the situation stands, as of this writing. Others will undoubtedly take the time to fix the problems properly, adding the changes that were intended all along. But this course of events has created some bad feelings all around, feelings that could maybe have been avoided with a better understanding of just when a future version of GCC is expected to be able to build the kernel. As a sort of coda, it is worth saying that Torvalds also has a fundamental disagreement with how this attribute is implemented. The __nonstring__ attribute applies to variables, not types, so it must be used in every place where a char array is used without trailing NUL bytes. He would rather annotate the type, indicating that every instance of that type holds bytes rather than a character string, and avoid the need to mark rather larger numbers of variable declarations. But that is not how the attribute works, so the kernel will have to include __nonstring markers for every char array that is used in that way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣠⢠⡄⣤⡜⢿⢷⣶⣤⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣄⣀⣀⣠⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣼⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣰⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠒⠸⣯⣏⣙⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡄⠀⢹⡏⠙⠀⠀⠈⠉⠠⠁⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠿⠻⠿⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⠟⠛⠁⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⢻⣀⢠⠀⠈⢿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢉⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⠋⠙⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠐⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣒⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⣯⣭⠿⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣦⣄⠙⣷⣤⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠋⠀⣀⣤⣤⣈⠉⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣦⠊⠙⠃⠀⣈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠾⠟⢛⡛⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣤⣴⣿⢋⣀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣄⣤⣠⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⡃⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⡶⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣻⣷⠄⠀⢀⠉⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⣆⢀⣬⣰⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠘⠋⠁⠈⠻⣾⣿⣿⡏⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣶⣦⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠈⣹⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⠧⠀⠀⠀⣠⣽⣿⡷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢻⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢼⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠉⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡿⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣶⣴⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣶⣶⣾⡷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡀⠀⠀⣠⣀⣀⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠲⣦⣄⠀⠀⣠⣤⣥⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢻⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢛⣡⣤⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⡟⢠⡀⠀⠀⣬⣅⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡿⠿⠛⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠙⠛⠉⢉⣉⡉⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⠀⢀⣀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⢸⣿⡟⠉⠙⠿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⢲⡂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⢠⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣷⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⣸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠃⠸⣇⣀⣤⣦⣤⣀⣀⣀⣴⣿⡄⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣷⡄⢀⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⡀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⡆⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⡄⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣤⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠈⡛⠛⠋⣥⣶⣦⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⡿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢉⣉⣉⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣴⠳⣶⣶⡶⠿⠟⠛⢣⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠟⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣦⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⡟⠁⠀⠞⠻⡟⠋⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠁⠟⠋⠄⠀⠙⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1649 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/08/Mozilla_Spying_Mozilla_Sinful_Debugging_and_Mozilla_s_Tantek_Ce.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/08/Mozilla_Spying_Mozilla_Sinful_Debugging_and_Mozilla_s_Tantek_Ce.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Mozilla: Spying@Mozilla, Sinful Debugging, and Mozilla's Tantek Çelik Running For Re-election in the 2025 W3C Advisory Board (AB) Election⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 08, 2025 * ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Data@Mozilla:_Data_and_Firefox_Suggest⠀⇛ § Introduction⠀➾ Firefox_Suggest is a  feature that displays direct links to content on the web based on what users type into the Firefox address bar.

When packaging RPM packages for Red Bait Enterprise GNU/Linux (RHEL), RPM spec files invoked the setup.py script in %build and %install sections, typically using the %py3_build and %py3_install RPM macros.

Those articles weren’t exhaustive — I deliberately left out one major topic: exceptions. Starting with C++26, it will become possible to throw exceptions during constant evaluation. This capability is enabled through both language and library changes. Given the significance of this feature, it deserves its own dedicated post. * ⚓ The New Stack ☛ The_Pros_and_Cons_of_Developing_From_the_Command_Line⠀⇛ This is a big one for a lot of people. Some IDEs are fairly resource-intensive. The command line… not so much. In fact, you can develop using the command line on any old machine capable of running Linux. Compile times are even faster when working from the command line. Because of this, you don’t have to dole out the cash for a top-of-the-line PC to use as a development station. And with so many Linux distributions available for older hardware, even that old machine collecting dust can be of value. So don’t get caught up in the idea that you have to have the latest greatest hardware for developing, because the command line gives you far more options that are far cheaper. * ⚓ Futhark Programming Language ☛ Implement_your_language_twice⠀⇛ One of the challenges you face when programming is figuring out what your program will do when you run it. To most programmers, the obvious way of solving this conundrum is to run the program and see what it does, then modify the program until it does what they would like it to do. Essentially you treat the language implementation (whether a compiler or interpreter) as an oracle: an unambiguous source of truth on the meaning of programs. * ⚓ Lazarus and Free Pascal Team ☛ Lazarus_Release_4.0⠀⇛ This release was built with FPC 3.2.2. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ TecMint ☛ Python_Scripts_for_RHEL:_Automate_User_Management, Monitoring_&_Backups⠀⇛ Python, a high-level programming language, is an excellent tool for automating system administration tasks.

This release, 3.14.0b1, is the first of four planned beta releases. Beta release previews are intended to give the wider community the opportunity to test new features and bug fixes and to prepare their projects to support the new feature release. We strongly encourage maintainers of third-party Python projects to test with 3.14 during the beta phase and report issues found to the Python bug tracker as soon as possible. While the release is planned to be feature- complete entering the beta phase, it is possible that features may be modified or, in rare cases, deleted up until the start of the release candidate phase (Tuesday 2025-07-22). Our goal is to have no ABI changes after beta 4 and as few code changes as possible after the first release candidate. To achieve that, it will be extremely important to get as much exposure for 3.14 as possible during the beta phase. Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and its use is not recommended for production environments. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Append_Text_to_Every_File_Using_a_Bash_Script⠀⇛ This can be efficiently accomplished using a Bash script, which is a powerful command-line shell in Unix-like operating systems, offering a range of utilities and operators to manipulate files, including the ability to append text. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2076 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/08/Red_Hat_Getting_Fanatical_About_Misleading_Buzzwords.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/08/Red_Hat_Getting_Fanatical_About_Misleading_Buzzwords.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat Getting Fanatical About Misleading Buzzwords⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 08, 2025 * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ The_container_foundation_for_tomorrow's_AI [Ed: Red Hat makes a cartoon of itself for a dying IBM; it just keeps parroting buzzwords like they're magic pixie dust]⠀⇛ * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ The_AI_paradox:_Unlocking_adoption_through_openness [Ed: Openwashing and buzzwords; this is not what a technical company ought to do.]⠀⇛ Inspired by that discussion, I want to explore a broader perspective: how certain economic and behavioral theories shape the way we think about AI adoption and how Red Hat’s AI strategy fits into the picture. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Models-as-a-Service:_Let’s_use_AI,_not_just_talk about_it [Ed: IBM Red Hat is frantic about this hype and it name-drops misleading buzzwords all the time]⠀⇛ We're also making sure that we don't lose sight of the practical side of AI.

It focuses on usability, a polished graphical presentation and support for the Chinese language. It is also available on a number of other Linux distributions, openSUSE among them. Recently we noticed a policy violation in the packaging of the Deepin desktop environment in openSUSE. To get around security review requirements, our Deepin community packager implemented a workaround which bypasses the regular RPM packaging mechanisms to install restricted assets. As a result of this violation, and in the light of the difficult history we have with Deepin code reviews, we will be removing the Deepin Desktop packages from openSUSE distributions for the time being. In this blog post we will look at the exact nature of the policy violation, the review history of Deepin components in openSUSE and the conclusions we draw from all of this. Finally, we will give an outlook on how this situation could be resolved, and how users of openSUSE can continue to opt-in to use Deepin in the future. Read_on Update Also in LWN now: * ⚓ Deepin_Desktop_removed_from_openSUSE⠀⇛ The SUSE Security Team has announced the removal of the Deepin Desktop from openSUSE due to violations of the project's packaging policy. The discovery of the bypass of the security whitelistings via the deepin-feature-enable package marks a turning point in our assessment of Deepin. We don't believe that the openSUSE Deepin packager acted with bad intent when he implemented the "license agreement" dialog to bypass our whitelisting restrictions. The dialog itself makes the security concerns we have transparent, so this does not happen in a sneaky way, at least not towards users. It was not discussed with us, however, and it violates openSUSE packaging policies. Beyond the security aspect, this also affects general packaging quality assurance: the D-Bus configuration files and Polkit policies installed by the deepin-feature-enable package are unknown to the package manager and won't be cleaned up upon package removal, for example. Such bypasses are not deemed acceptable by us. ⣶⠆⢴⠤⡶⠴⠀⡦⠄⠦⠦⠴⡴⠶⠀⠢⡶⢤⡦⡶⠤⠶⣦⠴⠤⢦⠤⡤⢶⣶⠦⡔⢀⢠⣴⢤⠠⢦⠤⠆⢰⣴⠦⣴⠄⠦⠄⠶⡦⠶⡤⠠⠴⠀⠶⢶⠄⠶⠴⠦⡦⢴⢤⡦⠰⠤⡦⠴⠤⡆⢴⣤⠦⢤⠦⡴⢶⠄ ⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⣀⣀⣀⠀⣀⣀⠀⣀⣀⡀⣀⣀⣀⡀⢀⣀⣀⣀⡀⣀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠈⠋⠉⠋⠋⠁⠋⠋⠉⠈⠋⠙⠘⠋⠉⠋⠙⠉⠉⠁⠉⠉⠙⠉⠉⠙⠁⠋⠉⠙⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠶⠶⠆⠶⠶⢶⠶⠦⠰⠶⠶⠶⠶⠦⠴⠶⠶⠶⠶⠰⠶⠶⠆⠶⠶⢶⠄⡶⠶⠆⠶⠆⠶⠶⠶⠶⠦⠰⠶⠆⠰⠶⠶⠶⠶⠦⠰⠶⠰⠶⠶⡶⠶⠤⢶⠶⠀⠶⠶⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠛⠛⠛⠛⠓⠚⠛⠛⠛⠛⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡦⣤⠄⣤⣤⣤⡤⣤⣤⠀⣤⣤⡤⢠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡄⢠⣤⢠⣤⠠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡀⣤⡤⢠⣤⣤⣤⣤⡤⢠⣤⡆⢠⣤⡤⢠⣤⣤⡄⣤⣤⡄⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⠶⠶⢶⢶⣶⠀⠷⠶⠐⠷⠶⠶⠶⠖⠶⠶⠄⡶⠶⠆⠶⠶⠶⠶⠖⠶⢶⠶⠶⠶⠄⠶⠆⠰⣶⠷⠆⠶⠆⠰⢶⠖⠰⠶⠶⠶⠶⠒⠷⠶⠖⠲⠶⠶⠶⠶⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣛⡃⣛⡟⢻⣀⣛⣟⠛⣝⡛⣿⣘⣛⣛⡃⣼⣛⣻⣻⣛⡘⣛⣛⡛⣁⣛⡟⣛⣘⣻⣛⢘⣿⣛⣛⠛⣛⣛⣃⡙⣿⣛⣛⣛⣛⣀⢛⣙⣁⢛⣛⣀⣻⣿⣻⠛⢳⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣭⡭⠅⠽⡥⠜⠯⠩⣭⠤⡍⢤⡯⣭⢽⢩⡥⠬⠯⡭⢿⣯⡵⠈⡭⡥⢬⠭⡷⣬⠁⣮⢭⡤⣬⣍⠹⠷⢬⡭⢭⠄⡽⣿⢭⠏⠸⢿⠨⣭⡭⡬⠽⠈⠧⠍⢭⡥⠌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣛⣛⡛⠓⢃⣛⣛⢚⣂⣒⢛⣃⡟⢛⣚⡺⣞⡚⠃⣘⣛⣛⣓⠚⣓⣘⢛⡃⢘⣛⠻⣟⢚⣒⣿⣛⣐⡛⣚⡐⢛⣺⣟⡛⣒⣛⣚⠛⣛⣃⣀⠛⣃⣶⠓⣂⣚⣛⠋⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣭⣭⣭⣌⣉⣭⣭⣌⣩⣭⣼⣭⣭⣬⣍⣭⣽⣧⣼⣯⣭⣭⣍⣥⣭⣭⣭⣍⢠⣭⣬⣭⣭⣽⣯⣉⠩⣤⣬⣍⢨⣭⣍⢡⣭⣍⢩⣤⣭⣭⣭⣌⡍⣩⣬⡍⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠶⠶⢾⠶⠦⠴⡶⠦⠴⠷⠶⠤⠶⠶⠶⠶⠾⠷⠆⡄⠴⠶⢶⠶⠦⠼⡶⠦⢴⠶⠶⠶⠶⠤⠾⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⢮⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣛⣛⣻⣟⡓⢛⣛⣛⣛⠛⣜⣛⣛⣓⣚⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠐⠛⠛⠘⠛⠛⠟⠛⠓⠛⠛⠛⠛⠓⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠘⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠛⠛⠛⠘⠛⠛⠃⠘⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠈⠉⠉⠉⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢿⠶⠆⠶⠶⢶⠶⡶⠸⠶⠶⠶⠶⠖⠶⠶⡾⠶⠶⠰⠶⠶⠶⢆⠆⢰⠶⠶⠾⠶⡰⠿⠶⠆⠰⠶⠶⠰⠶⡷⠶⠶⠶⠶⠀⠷⡶⡶⠶⠲⡶⠐⠳⠖⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣻⣛⣛⣛⣋⣹⣿⣟⣋⣛⣻⣿⣛⡛⠑⣤⣋⣁⠛⣛⣃⢛⣟⣛⣀⣛⣛⣿⣦⣛⣛⣿⣛⣋⣸⣛⣛⣛⣿⣇⣘⠛⣛⣛⡛⠉⠙⠙⠋⠙⠛⠛⠃⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣽⣭⣭⣭⠥⠼⣿⣯⠥⣭⡵⣿⣿⡯⢴⢤⡽⣭⠶⣮⡭⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠉⠉⠉⠀⠉⠉⠁⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2375 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/08/Security_and_Fake_Security.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/08/Security_and_Fake_Security.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security and Fake Security⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 08, 2025, updated May 08, 2025 * ⚓ LWN ☛ The_mystery_of_the_Mailman_2_CVEs⠀⇛ Many eyebrows were raised recently when three vulnerabilities were announced that allegedly impact GNU Mailman 2.1, since many folks assumed that it was no longer being supported. That's not quite the case. Even though version 3 of the GNU Mailman mailing-list manager has been available since 2015, and version 2 was declared (mostly) end of life (EOL) in 2020, there are still plenty of users and projects still using version 2.1.x. There is, as it turns out, a big difference between mostly EOL and actually EOL. For example: WebPros, the company behind the cPanel server and web-site-management platform, still maintains a port of Mailman 2.1.x to Python 3 for its customers and was quick to respond to reports of vulnerabilities.

The new Serval WS laptop also features 2.5 GbE Ethernet, WiFi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity, a multitouch touchpad, a multi-color backlit chiclet US QWERTY keyboard, Thunderbolt 4 and HDMI (with HDCP) video ports, a 5.0MP HD camera, a 2-in-1 audio Jack for headphone and microphone, and a microSD card reader. Read_on Three More: * ⚓ System76's_Got_Game_With_Its_New_Serval_WS_Laptop_-_FOSS_Force⠀⇛ Today the folks at System76 announced an upgraded version of its Serval WS laptop computer, designed with engineers and gamers in mind, From the looks of it, this one’s so fast it threatens to reach escape velocity. If you like gaming on Linux and you’re looking for a lightening fast laptop where everything Linux works perfectly out-of-the- box with no issues, you couldn’t do much better than this. Not only is it fast, it ships with an upgraded screen that offers totally fluid animations. For engineering types who have to spend hours with eyeballs glued to a screen, the new display also boasts text so crisp that you’ll greatly reduce your use of eye drops. While it’s true that these days you can buy laptops running Linux from just about any computer maker, with System76 you’re highly unlikely to find some sort of hidden hardware conflict down the road that the folks at Dell, Asus, or HP might’ve missed because their focus is on their Windows bread-and- butter. System76 is different. Since the company got started 20 years ago, it’s produced nothing but high quality Linux machines. In fact, the company is so hard-core Linux that I doubt anyone there remembers what a BSOD looks like. * ⚓ System76_Unveils_Serval_WS_With_RTX_5070_Ti_and_2K_240Hz_Display⠀⇛ System76 has broadened its workstation-class laptop lineup with a fresh revision of the Serval WS, a 16-inch portable designed to satisfy engineers, developers, and gamers alike. The headline change, a 2K (2560 × 1600) panel running at 240 Hz, finally brings the Serval into the 16:10 era, giving users markedly more vertical space for code, CAD models, or spreadsheets while keeping motion buttery-smooth during high- frame-rate gameplay. Under the aluminum skin, the Serval WS now pairs Intel’s Core Ultra 9 275HX—a 24-core “Meteor Lake” part— with NVIDIA’s freshly minted GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. The CPU’s hybrid architecture is tuned for heavy parallel workloads; consequently, kernel builds and multi-threaded simulations should complete noticeably faster than on the outgoing 14th-gen silicon. * ⚓ This_New_System76_Linux_Laptop_Has_an_RTX_5070_Ti,_up_to_92GB_RAM⠀⇛ The Serval WS is one of the most powerful laptops in the System76 PC lineup, behind only the 18-inch Bonobo WS. The new Serval WS has an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, with 8 performance cores, 16 efficiency cores, and a maximum turbo frequency of 5.4 GHz. It’s one of the Series 2 Core Ultra processors. The base model has 32GB DDR5 RAM, but you can configure it with up to a whopping 92GB. That’s a lot of Chrome tabs. There’s only one option for the graphics card: an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. That will give you plenty of power for GPU-accelerated workloads, like video editing, 3D modelling, and local AI models. That’s also more than enough CPU and GPU power for PC games. System76 said in a press release, “With faster graphics, the Serval WS laptop is now better equipped than ever to run AAA games and helpful AI tools. These use cases are also supported by up to 96GB of DDR5 RAM, which is, as some experts might say, a lot of RAM.” The Serial Slopper: * ⚓ System76_Serval_WS_Linux_laptop_gets_NVIDIA_RTX_5070_Ti_and_240Hz display [Ed: It is probably LLM slop]⠀⇛ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣈⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⡹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡞⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⢻⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡼⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣭⣭⣭⣽⠟⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⣁⣀⣼⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠘⠋⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣬⣽⣿⣿⣟⣿⣶⣦⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠋⠉⠉⠀⠀⣀⣤⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⡀⠄⠀⠄⠠⠐⠄⠀⠀⠈⠢⠅⣈⠠⠽⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠒⠂⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠓⠲⢦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠁⠀⠁⠈⡂⠠⠒⠂⠐⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⡩⠭⡿⢛⢿⠛⡛⢿⢻⢛⠻⠉⣿⡍⡏⠹⢏⡏⠭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣤⣄⣀⣤⣤⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣍⣣⣦⣐⣼⣸⣿⣄⣾⣐⣠⣄⣿⣷⣠⣇⣸⣯⣙⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2759 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/08/The_Linux_kernel_s_PGP_Web_of_Trust.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/08/The_Linux_kernel_s_PGP_Web_of_Trust.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ The Linux kernel's PGP Web of Trust⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on May 08, 2025 Quoting: The Linux kernel's PGP Web of Trust — The Linux kernel's development process makes use of PGP. The most relevant part here is that subsystem maintainers are supposed to use signed tags in their pull requests to Linus Torvalds. As the concept of keyservers is considered broken, Konstantin Ryabitsev maintains a collection of relevant keys in a git repository. As of today (at commit a0bc65fb27f5033beddf9d1ad97d67c353849be2) there are 602 valid keys tracked in that repository. The requirement for a key to be added there is that there must be at least one trust path from Linus Torvalds' key to this key of length at most 5 within that keyring. Occasionally it happens that a key looses its trust paths because someone in these paths replaced their key, or keys expired. Currently this affects 2 keys. However there is a problem on the horizon: GnuPG 2.4.x started to reject third-party key signatures using the SHA-1 hash algorithm. In general that's good, SHA-1 isn't considered secure any more since more than 20 years. This doesn't directly affect the kernel-pgpkeys repo, because the trust path checking doesn't rely on GnuPG trusting the signatures; there is a dedicated tool that parses the keyring contents and currently accepts signatures using SHA-1. Also signatures are not thrown away usually, but there are exceptions: Recently Theodore Ts'o asked to update his certificate. When Konstantin imported the updated certificate GnuPG's "cleaning" was applied which dropped all SHA-1 signatures. So Theodore Ts'o's key lost 168 signatures, among them one by Linus Torvalds on his primary UID.

Jonathan Dowland ☛ Jonathan_Dowland:_procmail_versus_exim_filters⠀⇛ I’ve been using Procmail to filter mail for a long time. Reading Antoine’s blog post procmail_considered_harmful, I felt motivated (and shamed) into migrating to something else. Luckily, Enrico's_shared_a_detailed_roadmap_for_moving_to Sieve, in particular Dovecot's Sieve implementation (which provides "pipe" and "filter" extensions). * ⚓ Struggling_to_install_Whisper_models_for_Kdenlive’s_smart_transcription plugin?_Try_this…⠀⇛ First, credit where credit is due: the following solution was cobbled together combining both advice from Kdenlive developers and a * ⚓ How_to_Install_Hard_Disk_Sentinel_on_FunOS⠀⇛ Hard Disk Sentinel (HDSentinel) is a powerful tool for monitoring and analyzing the health and performance of hard drives and SSDs. Although it is originally developed for Windows, a GNU/Linux version is also available, including a graphical interface (GUI). * ⚓ The New Stack ☛ The_Pros_and_Cons_of_Developing_From_the_Command_Line⠀⇛ Way back in the 90s, I was studying C++ at a local college. * ⚓ Dedoimedo ☛ WINE-run_SketchUp_Make_2017_iertutil_error,_how_to_fix⠀⇛ I've written a short tutorial on how to resolve an incompatible DLL issue running SketchUp Make 2017 in GNU/Linux through WINE by adding a manual library override for iertutil.

That is the tradeoff between something that works now and something that not only works now but is likely to keep working in the long term. In system administration this is a tradeoff, not an obvious choice, because what you want is different depending on the circumstances. * ⚓ Adriaan Roselli ☛ Do_Not_Publish_Your_Designs_on_the_Web_with_Figma Sites…⠀⇛ Listen, I don’t mean to be the party-pooper here. I just happen to be really good at it. I am demonstrably better at it than the Figma team was at running even the barest WCAG checks against their flagship demos for its Figma Sites product launch. I am also better at being embarrassed at my behavior. * ⚓ Sara Soueidan ☛ Are_'CSS_Carousels'_accessible?⠀⇛ In this post I want to examine the newly announced “CSS Carousels” through the lens of usability and accessibility. I’ll start with a spoiler: CSS Carousels are highly experimental and they are not yet ready for production; not only because of the current lack of browser adoption for the new CSS features they use, but also because they have some major accessibility issues. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_PeaZip_on_openSUSE⠀⇛ PeaZip stands as one of the most versatile file archiving utilities available for GNU/Linux distributions, including openSUSE. This powerful, open-source application offers robust compression capabilities, strong encryption options, and support for over 200 archive formats. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Telnet_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Telnet, despite being an older network protocol, remains a valuable tool for system administrators and IT professionals working with GNU/Linux systems. While largely superseded by more secure protocols like SSH, Telnet still serves important purposes in network diagnostics, legacy system access, and specific troubleshooting scenarios. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Nikto_on_Debian_12⠀⇛ Nikto is a powerful open-source web server scanner designed to identify potential vulnerabilities, security issues, and misconfigurations in web servers. For system administrators and security professionals using Debian 12, Nikto offers an essential toolset for enhancing web application security through comprehensive scanning capabilities. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Fwupd_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Firmware updates play a critical role in maintaining system security, stability, and performance on GNU/Linux systems. On Fedora 42, fwupd provides a streamlined way to manage firmware updates for various hardware components, from UEFI BIOS to peripheral devices. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_DokuWiki_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ DokuWiki stands out as a versatile, lightweight wiki software solution that doesn’t require a database for operation. This makes it an excellent choice for both personal documentation needs and organizational knowledge management. Fedora 42, the latest release of this robust GNU/Linux distribution, provides an ideal platform for running DokuWiki with minimal configuration hassle. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_RainLoop_Webmail_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install RainLoop Webmail on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. RainLoop is a modern, lightweight webmail client that offers users a sleek interface for accessing emails through any web browser. Built with PHP, this open-source solution provides full IMAP/SMTP support, allowing seamless access to email accounts from various providers. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3416 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/08/Web_Browsers_and_Web_Site_Building.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/08/Web_Browsers_and_Web_Site_Building.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web Browsers and Web Site Building⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 08, 2025 * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Which_mobile_browser_is_the_worst_for_data collection?⠀⇛ Between them, Chrome and Safari account for almost 90 percent of the mobile browser market, according to Statcounter, while also being among the top for data collection. o ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ Mobile_Browsers_That_Stick_Their_Noses_Into_Your Business⠀⇛ The folks behind Surfshark VPN have looked to see which mobile browsers are most likely to compromise your privacy, and offers some ways that you can protect yourself. * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ WordPress ☛ WordPress_Campus_Connect_Expands⠀⇛ WordPress Campus Connect, initially launched in October 2024 as a pilot program, has now been formally established as an official event series due to its resounding success. The inaugural program, spearheaded by myself, Anand Upadhyay, garnered immense enthusiasm from 400 Indian students who were eager to engage in hands-on WordPress training. o ⚓ Cory Dransfeldt ☛ Running_11ty_and_PHP_concurrently⠀⇛ Now that I have several sections of this site served dynamically using PHP I've finally put together a single command to work on the site locally. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3479 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/08/What_Is_PureOS_A_Beginner_s_Guide_for_iOS_Android_and_Windows_U.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/08/What_Is_PureOS_A_Beginner_s_Guide_for_iOS_Android_and_Windows_U.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ What Is PureOS?
