It's part of what makes Linux such a great operating system. If you want to do things simply, use the GUI. If you want to do things efficiently, use the command line. Although you can do almost anything you need with various GUI applications, the command line is often simpler (once you know the commands) and more effective.

First up, there’s a brand-new option in the KEPUB output driver. When enabled, Calibre generates files with tighter text justification, which looks great on Kobo readers; the trade-off is small “gaps” in highlight overlays when you mark text.

While groups like GOG are at least attempting to pressure more developers and publishers to take efforts to preserve older games, it’s simply a fact that there is a massive and historical headwind they’re facing.

This is common practice in UI design. It’s done on mobile, desktop and all over the web. Grey is rarely completely grey, it usually has a little bit more blue in it than red and green. Take your color picker and check the grey on GitHub. It’s not #f8f8f8, it’s #f6f8fa. Firefox does that well, Google docs, Trello etc.. The reason this is done is to make grey slightly more metallic looking and appear more modern. Pure grey is neutral, it can be perceived as cold or warm based on its surroundings. By bumping the blue (or in the case of github both the green and the blue) we force it to look cold. 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. Linuxiac & How-To Geek: * ⚓ Linux_Mint's_Mint-Y_Theme_Gets_a_Modern_Touch⠀⇛ Linux Mint has released its regular monthly newsletter; this time, we have some exciting updates to share. First, the team confirmed the labels for its next point release and upcoming Debian-based edition. Linux Mint 22.2 will answer to “Zara,” while LMDE 7 (the Mint variant built directly on Debian rather than Ubuntu) has been dubbed “Gigi.” Linux Mint 22.2 is expected to be released in the next few months and, like earlier 22.x versions, it will be based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. As for LMDE 7, it’s likely to show up a few months after the release of Debian 13 “Trixie,” which is currently expected around July—so realistically, we probably won’t see LMDE 7 before October. * ⚓ Linux_Mint_Is_Embracing_the_GTK4_Future,_on_Its_Own_Terms⠀⇛ Linux Mint has forked and modified many GNOME and GTK applications to keep them working with the Linux distro’s custom theme support. The team is now trying a new approach that would allow more current apps to work, without extensive modification or fully killing theme support. Linux Mint has pushed back against many modern trends in the desktop Linux ecosystem, like the rise of Snap packages and the decline of user-configurable themes. The primary Cinnamon desktop environment also has a more traditional taskbar, applications menu, and applet bar than you get in GNOME Shell. However, all those modifications make it harder to integrate newer versions of system components and applications. ⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠛⠿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣿⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⡟⢉⣩⣹⣿⣿⣿⡇⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉⠉⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠊⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢥⡴⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1195 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/09/Open_Hardware_Arduino_ESP32_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/09/Open_Hardware_Arduino_ESP32_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware: Arduino, ESP32, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 09, 2025 * ⚓ Montana Linux ☛ Video:_LFNW_2025_-_Retro_Gaming_Preservation_with_the MiSTer_FPGA_Project⠀⇛ * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Everything_Presence_Lite_ESP32-based_mmWave_presence sensor_tracks_up_to_three_targets_simultaneously⠀⇛ Designed by Everything Smart Home, the Everything Presence Lite is a compact, ESP32-based mmWave presence sensor designed to be easily integrated with Home Assistant open-source home automation framework via ESPHome firmware. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ Join_Arduino_at_Automate_2025_to_explore_the_future_of automation⠀⇛ We’re heading to Automate 2025, the largest robotics and automation event in the Americas, happening May 12-15 at Huntington Place in Detroit – and we’re bringing a lineup of fresh innovations, live demos, and exciting new launches.

They are all controlled by an Arduino Mega 2560, which utilizes an ultrasonic distance sensor to check for obstacles and turn to avoid them when necessary. If the path is free of any obstacles, it will initiate a light-seeking routine that measures light levels via a photoresistor at different locations and then picks the one with the highest value before moving towards it. * ⚓ Olimex ☛ Interfacing_different_sensors_with_ESP32-EVB_and_MicroPython: DHT11,_DHT22,_SHTC3_and_DS18B20⠀⇛ In our previous post we show you how to install MicroPython on ESP32-EVB and to drive the board’s relays from the web server.

By using it and working at the boundaries of our skills. Almost everything I'm "good at" comes from banging my head against it more than is healthy. That suggests a really good reason to write clever code: it's an excellent form of purposeful practice. Writing clever code forces us to code outside of our comfort zone, developing our skills as software engineers. * ⚓ Modern_TableView_in_QML:_What’s_New_in_Qt_6.8_and_Beyond⠀⇛ Over the years, the capabilities of QtQuick's TableView have evolved dramatically-from early custom implementations to well supported feature in Qt 6.8 and newer. In this article we explore the progression of QtQuick/QML's TableView, outline the limitations of early versions, and highlight newer features such as custom selection modes, header synchronization, and lightweight editing delegates. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Stephen Turner ☛ uv,_part_3:_Python_in_R_with_reticulate⠀⇛ If I’m doing 90% of my analysis in an R environment but I have some Python code that I want to use, reticulate makes it easy to use Python code within R (from a script, in a RMarkdown/Quarto document, or in packages). This helps you avoid switching contexts and exporting data between R and Python. You can import a Python package, and call a Python function from that package inside your R environment. Here’s a simple demo using the listdir() function in the os package in the Python standard library. o ⚓ Stephen Turner ☛ uv,_part_1:_running_scripts_and_tools_-_by Stephen_Turner⠀⇛ Lately I’ve heard a lot great things about uv, an extremely fast Python package and project manager, written in Rust. After the volume of praise I see about uv reached a critical level I decided to take a look at the docs myself and give it a try. After just a few minutes of use: uv is awesome, and I’m going to add to that praise here. It’s probably going to replace pip, pipx, poetry, and most of conda for me. The “extremely fast” bit is no lie. Having used conda and pip for so many years, uv is unbelievably fast. o ⚓ The New Stack ☛ PyTorch_Foundation_Welcomes_vLLM_and_DeepSpeed_as Hosted_Projects⠀⇛ PyTorch is one of AI’s top open source projects. Now, its ruling foundation, the PyTorch Foundation has announced a major expansion. The group recently announced it would be an umbrella foundation for other open source AI programs. The first of these top-level projects are vLLM and DeepSpeed. o ⚓ GNU ☛ health_@_Savannah:_GNU_Health_becomes_an_organization_in the_Python_Package_Index_-_PyPI⠀⇛ We're proud to announce that #GNUHealth is now an organization in the Python Package Index (#PyPI). The organization makes it easy to find and explore our projects and packages. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Rust Blog ☛ The_Rust_Programming_Language_Blog:_Announcing Surveillance_Giant_Google_Summer_of_Code_2025_selected_projects⠀⇛ The Rust Project is participating in Google_Summer_of Code_(GSoC) again this year.

As you can see from its version number, this is a bug fix release. It took a bit longer than expected, as we wanted to release it in sync with syslog- ng PE, the commercial variant of syslog-ng. 4.8.2 serves not just as the foundation of the new syslog-ng PE release, but also provides fixes to 4.8.1, which is included in major GNU/ Linux distributions.

Tom's Hardware ☛ How_To_Mount_and_Unmount_Drives_on_Your_GNU/Linux machine⠀⇛ Mounting and unmounting drives using both the terminal and the GUI is an essential GNU/Linux skill. In this article, we show how to do this and how to work with ISO image files. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ How_to_View_Your_Command_History_in_Any_GNU/Linux Operating_System⠀⇛ Often overlooked, history is an archive of all the commands that our user has typed. But what can we do with these commands and what tools can we use? * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ How_To_Monitor_CPU_and_RAM_Resources_in_Any_GNU/Linux Distro⠀⇛ Keeping an eye on system resources is a must, no matter if you are using a Raspberry Pi or a multi-million dollar data center. We show you how to monitor your systems from the GNU/Linux command line. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ How_I_Manage_Files_in_My_Linux-Windows_Dual_Boot_PC⠀⇛ Are you frustrated by the clunky file-sharing experience of a dual boot system? Are you perplexed by how both OSes can share the same RAM, CPU, GPU, but not the storage space? Well, here’s my practical fix for seamlessly sharing files between my Linux- Windows dual boot PC. * ⚓ Hacker Noon ☛ Remotely_Control_Youtube_With_This_Command-line_Approach on_Linux⠀⇛ This pages describes how to remotely control youtube running within a browser from the command-line. In practice this sort of script may not be used directly from the command-line but rather attached to a keyboard shortcut or run from another script that forms a larger process. This approach only works for Linux due to the limitations of the Chrome extension it uses. If you have programming experience you may be able to adapt the approach for another operating system. I would direct anyone interested in doing this to mozeidon as an example of a remote control from Chrome which can be run from the command-line. * ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2025-05-04_[Older]_How_to_install_Pinta_on_Kubuntu 24.04 [Ed: Pinta is Microsoft Mono.

Since this is all on Ubuntu, we set it up through Netplan, which works but which I said 'has warts' in my first entry about it. Today I discovered another wart due to what I'll call the WireGuard provisioning problem: [...] * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ How_To_Find_Large_Files_on_Any_Linux_Machine⠀⇛ We’ve all got to that point on a given system where we start to run out of storage space. Do we buy more storage, perhaps one of the best SSDs, or do we search and find the largest files quickly? In this how to we will look at a few simple approaches to help us maintain and manage our filesystems. All the commands in this article will work on most Linux machines. We’ve used an Ubuntu LTS install but you could run this how-to on a Raspberry Pi. All of the how-to is performed via the Terminal. If you’re not already at the command line, you can open a terminal window on most Linux machines by pressing ctrl, alt and t or by searching for the terminal app in your applications menu. * ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Secure_Your_Ubuntu_Server_with_UFW,_Fail2ban,_and AppArmor⠀⇛ In this guide, we’ll cover three essential tools to enhance your Ubuntu server security: UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall), Fail2ban, and AppArmor. These tools will help secure your server by controlling network access, preventing brute-force login attempts, and protecting applications. * ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Create_a_Backup_Script_for_Important_Files_in_Linux⠀⇛ One of the easiest and most flexible ways to handle backups is by writing a custom script, which lets you decide exactly what gets backed up, when, and where it’s stored. It also saves time and reduces the risk of losing data. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_LXDE_Desktop_on_Debian_12⠀⇛ LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment) offers a refreshing alternative to the resource-heavy GNOME desktop that comes standard with Debian 12. If you’re running hardware with limited specifications or simply prefer a more streamlined computing experience, LXDE provides an excellent balance of functionality and performance. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Midnight_Commander_on_Debian_12⠀⇛ Midnight Commander stands as one of the most powerful and versatile file managers available for GNU/Linux systems. This text-based dual-pane file manager provides an intuitive interface for navigating directories, managing files, and performing system operations with remarkable efficiency. For Debian 12 users, Midnight Commander represents an essential tool that combines visual clarity with command-line power. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Clang_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Clang has become an essential tool in the modern developer’s toolkit, offering a powerful alternative to GCC for compiling C, C++, and Objective-C code. If you’re running Fedora 42, installing Clang opens up new possibilities for development with its superior diagnostics, faster compilation times, and excellent compatibility with the LLVM ecosystem. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Nethogs_on_Rocky_GNU/Linux_9⠀⇛ In today’s interconnected world, monitoring network traffic has become an essential task for system administrators and power users. When managing servers or troubleshooting network issues, having the right tools to identify which processes are consuming bandwidth can make a significant difference in maintaining optimal system performance. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_FreeIPA_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ FreeIPA provides a comprehensive identity management solution for GNU/Linux environments, combining user authentication, authorization, and account information into a centralized system. By integrating key technologies like LDAP, Kerberos, DNS, and certificate management, FreeIPA creates a robust identity management framework that simplifies administration while enhancing security. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_OnlyOffice_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ OnlyOffice stands as a powerful open-source office suite offering a robust alternative to traditional office software on Linux. With Fedora 42’s excellent compatibility, you can enjoy a seamless experience with this feature-rich productivity solution. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_MySQL_Workbench_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ MySQL Workbench stands as an essential visual database design tool that allows developers and database administrators to efficiently manage MySQL environments. As Fedora 42 continues to gain popularity among GNU/Linux enthusiasts, knowing how to properly install and configure MySQL Workbench becomes increasingly valuable. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2266 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/09/Tux_Machines_Turns_21_Next_Month_Two_New_Features_Added.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/09/Tux_Machines_Turns_21_Next_Month_Two_New_Features_Added.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Tux Machines Turns 21 Next Month, Two New Features Added⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 09, 2025, updated May 09, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Cruisin' for a Bruisin': Twenty One⦈ A month from now it's our anniversary and days ago we added this_page_for original_Tux_Machines_pages/articles.

Whonix defeats common attacks while maintaining usability. Whonix uses an extensively security reconfigured of the Debian base (Kicksecure Hardened) which is run inside multiple virtual machines (VMs) on top of the host OS.

We also cross-checked reports, making sure the counted activities were reported across multiple credible sources. We assessed whether these past hybrid activities were state-linked and sorted the activities into six threat categories: economic coercion; foreign interference; narrative and information campaigns; cyberattack; military and paramilitary coercion; and diplomatic coercion. Due to their nature, covert or unreported hybrid activities were not captured. o ⚓ Security Week ☛ Second_Ransomware_Group_Caught_Exploiting_Windows Flaw_as_Zero-Day⠀⇛ The vulnerability in question is tracked as CVE-2025- 29824 and it was patched by Microsoft with its April 2025 Patch Tuesday updates. The flaw impacts the Windows Common Log File System (CLFS) and it can be exploited by an attacker to escalate privileges. o ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ PowerSchool_customers_hit_by_downstream extortion_threats⠀⇛ The downstream extortion attacks highlight the ongoing risk organizations confront when a vendor is hit by a cyberattack, exposing not just their data but also that of others in their supply chain. The follow-on extortion attempts also underscore that paying ransoms for data does not guarantee stolen data won’t be leaked. o ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Six_DDoS_sites_seized_in_multi-national_law enforcement_operation⠀⇛ The suspects are believed to have operated six so-called “stresser” or “booter” services that enabled customers across the world to launch thousands of attacks on targets ranging from government offices to businesses and schools. From 2022 to 2025, the platforms — identified as Cfxapi, Cfxsecurity, neostress, jetstress, quickdown, and zapcut — allegedly allowed users to bombard websites and servers with high volumes of junk traffic, often rendering them inaccessible. o ⚓ Security Week ☛ Europol_Announces_More_DDoS_Service_Takedowns, Arrests⠀⇛ For years, law enforcement authorities in North America, Europe and the APAC region have worked together to disrupt services that enable anyone to launch DDoS attacks against specified online services. These DDoS- for-hire services, also known as booter services, enable users to disrupt a website, in some cases for just a few dollars. o ⚓ The Record ☛ Despite_ransom_payment,_PowerSchool_[intruder]_now extorting_individual_school_districts⠀⇛ The company posted a statement on its website saying it is “aware that a threat actor has reached out to multiple school district customers in an attempt to extort them using data from the previously reported December 2024 incident.” o ⚓ Exponential-e Ltd ☛ NCSC_warns_of_IT_helpdesk_impersonation_trick being_used_by_ransomware_gangs_after_UK_retailers_attacked_- Exponential-e_Blog⠀⇛ However, in the advisory it published on its website, the NCSC appears to have given credence to the theory that the attackers gained access to corporate victims' internal systems by exploiting employees' legitimate accounts. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2519 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 25 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
