It provides a streamlined, semi-automated alternative to the traditional manual Arch installation process, which can be challenging, especially for new users. The biggest highlight of this new version is security – the installer now offers optional file encryption for configuring user credentials. Passwords are no longer stored in plaintext but are instead saved as secure hashes, ensuring that user credentials remain safe even before the system is fully locked down. Moreover, regarding desktop environment support, the post- installation menu has been enriched with additional options, giving new installations a fresh spin and more choices right out of the box by expanding its offerings with Labwc, Niri, River, and XMonad tiling window managers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 321 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/15/Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/15/Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Best Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on May 15, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Server⦈_ * ⚓ coturn_is_an_implementation_of_TURN_and_STUN_Server_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ coturn is an implementation of TURN and STUN Server.

Packages tagged as essential, and the packages that are required by the set of essential packages, are always installed as part of a Debian system. However, Debian's packaging rules do not require developers to explicitly declare dependencies on that set of packages (the essential set) but they can simply rely on the fact that those will always be present. That means that changing the essential set, as the project may wish to do occasionally, is more complicated than it should be. This came to light recently when a Debian developer asked what might be required to remove mawk to slim down the project's container images. Simon Josefsson observed that the Fedora project's container images do not have an AWK interpreter. He wondered if it was possible to remove mawk from the default set of tools in the upcoming Debian 13 ("trixie") release to reduce the size of the Debian container image. If not, then what might be the blockers to doing so?

The Refereed presentations are 45 minutes in length and should focus on a specific aspect of the “plumbing” in a GNU/Linux ecosystem. Examples of GNU/Linux plumbing include core kernel subsystems, init systems, core libraries, toolchains, windowing systems, management tools, device support, media creation/playback, testing, and so on. The best presentations are not about finished work, but rather problem statements, proposals, or proof- of-concept solutions that require face-to-face discussions and debate. * § Akademy⠀➾ o ⚓ Input_handling_in_spring_2025⠀⇛ Since Akademy_2024, input handling improvements have been one of three KDE_Goals with myself as a co-instigator.

Since I keep that disabled I now get an infobar that tells me that I need to enable it for this page. Pretty useless and a pain in the back because it takes up screen space. * ⚓ LibreWolf⠀⇛ This project is a custom and independent version of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 626 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/15/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/15/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 15, 2025 * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ Supported_curl_versions_and_end_of_life⠀⇛ The other week we shipped the 266th curl release. This counter is perhaps a little inflated since it also includes the versions we did before we renamed it to curl, but still, there are hundreds of them.

Ahead of the show, Zotac revealed an important detail about the upcoming handheld: Zone 2 will run an ‘all-new Manjaro Linux-based OS' designed explicitly for gaming handhelds. Development on the Zone 2 has been ongoing since Zotac first promised the device in December, followed by a prototype reveal at CES in January. Zotac's first Zone model was somewhat late to the market compared to competitors like the ROG Ally, and four months after the CES prototype reveal, it appears development is still underway for the Zone 2. There is no information regarding when the handheld will be ready for release, but some details are starting to emerge. * ⚓ PC Gamer ☛ Apparently_a_new_'advanced'_Zotac_Zone_will_be_announced_at Computex_and_it_looks_like_it_might_use_a_bespoke_Linux_OS⠀⇛ Ah yes, the Zotac Zone—that somewhat boring handheld gaming PC with a nice screen that struggled to make it to market. (Seriously, has anyone else seen it in stock anywhere since its supposed September 2024 launch date?). It looks like Zotac might have given up on that first version entirely and instead started to prep for a new and very different version. Apparently, a second, 'advanced' version of the device is going to be announced at Computex next week, and will run an operating system based on Manjaro Linux.

It is summoned from some dark place when the system as a whole (or, more recently, any given control group) is running so low on memory that further allocations are not possible; its job is to kill off processes until a sufficient amount of memory has been freed. Roman Gushchin has found a way to make the OOM killer even scarier: adding the ability to load custom OOM killers in BPF. The kernel, in its default configuration, will overcommit the memory available on the system; it will allow processes to allocate more memory than can be provided (that is, more than the sum of physical memory and swap space). Applications routinely allocate more memory than they use; limiting allocations to the available memory would, as a result, cause some of that memory to be unused. Overcommitting memory avoids that waste, and it almost always works out in the end. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Injecting_speculation_barriers_into_BPF_programs⠀⇛ The disclosure of the Spectre class of hardware vulnerabilities created a lot of pain for kernel developers (and many others). That pain was especially acutely felt in the BPF community. While an attacker might have to painfully search the kernel code base for exploitable code, an attacker using BPF can simply write and load their own speculation gadgets, which is a much more efficient way of operating. The BPF community reacted by, among other things, disallowing the loading of programs that may include speculation gadgets. Luis Gerhorst would like to change that situation with this patch series that takes a more direct approach to the problem. While the potential to enable speculative-execution attacks may be a concern for any BPF program, the problem is especially severe for unprivileged programs — those that can be loaded by ordinary users. Most program types require privilege but there are a couple of packet-filter program types that do not (though the unprivileged_bpf_disabled sysctl knob can disable those types too). Among the many defenses added to the BPF subsystem is this patch by Daniel Borkmann, which was merged for the 5.13 release in 2021. It causes the verifier to treat possible speculative paths (for Spectre variant 1 in particular) as real alternatives when simulating the execution of a program, even though the verifier can demonstrate that such paths will not be taken in non-speculative execution. If the program does something untoward on one of those speculative paths, it will be rejected by the verifier. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Flexible_data_placement⠀⇛ At the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF) Kanchan Joshi and Keith Busch led a combined storage and filesystem session on data placement, which concerns how the data on a storage device is actually written. In a discussion that hearkened back to previous summits, the idea is to give hints to enterprise-class SSDs to help them make better choices on where the data should go; hinting was most recently discussed at the summit in 2023. If SSDs can group data with similar lifetimes together, it can lead to longer life for the devices, but there is a need to work out the details. Joshi began by noting that the logical placement of data provided by the host system is not the same as the physical placement of it on the device. There is a question of where the placement decision is made; if there is a data creator and multiple layers between it and the device (e.g. filesystem, device mapper), it is the piece that is closest to the device that ultimately decides where the data goes, he said. Currently, data is generally written sequentially because there is a single append point in a single open erase block on the device. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Improving_FUSE_writeback_performance⠀⇛ In a combined filesystem and memory-management session at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF), Joanne Koong led a discussion on improving the writeback performance for the Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) layer. Writeback is how data that is written to the filesystem is actually flushed to the disk; it is the process of writing dirty pages from the page cache to storage. The current FUSE implementation allocates unmovable memory, then copies the dirty data to it before initiating writeback, which is slow; Koong wanted to change that behavior. Since the session, she has posted a patch set that has been applied by FUSE maintainer Miklos Szeredi. Koong started the session with a description of the current FUSE writeback operation. A temporary page is allocated in the unmovable memory zone for each dirty page and the data is copied to the temporary page. After that, writeback is initiated on the temporary pages and the original pages can immediately have their writeback state cleared. That extra allocation and copying work is expensive, but is needed so that the pages do not move while the writeback operation is underway. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Filtering_fanotify_events_with_BPF⠀⇛ Linux systems can have large filesystems; trying to keep up with the stream of fanotify filesystem-monitoring notifications for them can be a struggle. Fanotify is one of a few ways to monitor accesses to filesystems provided by the kernel. Song Liu led a discussion on how to improve in-kernel filtering of fanotify events to a joint session of the filesystem and BPF tracks at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory- Management, and BPF Summit. He wants to combine the best parts of a few different approaches to efficiently filter filesystem events. There are two ways to monitor and restrict filesystem actions on Linux, Liu said: fanotify and Linux security modules (LSMs). They both have benefits and drawbacks. The main problem with using LSM hooks to respond to filesystem events is that LSM hooks are global — the LSM must respond to accesses for all files, even if it's only interested in a subset of files. The main problem with fanotify is that notifications are handled in user space, incurring a lot of context switches. The best of both worlds would be to have efficient mask-based filtering for relevant files (like fanotify) and fast in-kernel handling for the more complicated cases (like LSMs). * ⚓ LWN ☛ Hash_table_memory_usage_and_a_BPF_interpreter_bug⠀⇛ Anton Protopopov led a short discussion at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit about amount of memory used by hash tables in BPF programs. He thinks that the current memory layout is inefficient, and wants to split the structure that holds table entries into two variants for different kinds of maps. When that proposal proved uncontroversial, he also took the chance to talk about a bug in BPF's call instruction. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⣦⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⡿⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣨⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡁⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣁⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣼⣿⣿⣄⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠒⠢⡤⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣾⡆⠀⢈⡄⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣷⣿⣯⡇⠀⠘⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠈⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⡀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣴⣶⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⣡⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠓⠀⠀⠀⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⠻⢿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠹⣿⣦⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠹⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠸⠛⢫⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣷⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣀⡀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⢿⡛⠛⠃⠀⠠⡀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠀⠂⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠱⡀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣾⣷⣄⠀⠀⠱⡄⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⡄⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠐⡀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⢠⣶⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠘⡄⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⠃⠀⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠘⠄⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⢸⠇⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⣤⠃⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⢸⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⢀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠘⣿⣿⢛⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣄⣀⣤⣤⣶⣌⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠙⣛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠿⠿⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠻⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣂⣹⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣾⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠘⠻⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1416 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/15/Microsoft_Broke_Linux_PCs_Now_Microsoft_Sites_Credit_It_With_Fi.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/15/Microsoft_Broke_Linux_PCs_Now_Microsoft_Sites_Credit_It_With_Fi.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Microsoft Broke Linux PCs;

On Tuesday, May 13, GloriousEggroll announced Nobara 42, which is an iterative update to Nobara 41 but features a number of notable changes to the default configuration and the included software and drivers. One of the biggest changes to arrive with Nobara 42 is the switch from Firefox to Brave as the default browser. The justification for this is a video bug that is present in the current Firefox version and the browsers that use Firefox as a base. When switching to Brave, the Nobara team implemented a custom policy that disables some Brave features that are commonly complained about in the FOSS community, like Brave Rewards, Brave Wallet, Brave VPN, and AI Chat. Tor is also disabled by default, and the DNS Over HTTPS Mode is set to automatic. These changes should result in a minimally intrusive Brave browsing experience, but they can be reverted by simply editing or removing the policy file, as mentioned in the update changelog.

This integration provides a PostgreSQL coprocessor instead of a preprocessor, which means that the compiler translates the EXEC SQL statements into COBOL statements during the compilation process itself, rather than during a separate step before compilation. The COBOL for GNU/Linux coprocessor for PostgreSQL is based on the PostgreSQL ECPG preprocessor, modified to support COBOL instead of C. The coprocessor is integrated into the COBOL compiler. When a COBOL program with embedded SQL statements runs, it uses the same library that the ECPG preprocessor uses to run a C program. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1808 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/15/Security_and_Fake_Security.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/15/Security_and_Fake_Security.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security and Fake Security⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 15, 2025 * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Microsoft’s_Patch_Tuesday_closes_72_vulnerabilities, including_5_zero-days [Ed: New_bug_doors_ready_to_install]⠀⇛ The company has addressed zero-day vulnerabilities for eight consecutive months without deeming any of them critical at the time of disclosure. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Zero-Day_Attacks_Highlight_Another_Busy_Abusive Monopolist_Microsoft_Patch_Tuesday [Ed: And meanwhile Microsoft's CEO boasts they try to use slop as code; devil in the details?]⠀⇛ Patch Tuesday: Abusive Monopolist Microsoft patches at least 70 security bugs and flagged five zero-days in the “exploitation detected” category. * ⚓ Krebs On Security ☛ Patch_Tuesday,_May_2025_Edition [Ed: Microsoft's latest back or bug doors are ready]⠀⇛ Microsoft on Tuesday released software updates to fix at least 70 vulnerabilities in Windows and related products, including five zero-day flaws that are already seeing active exploitation.

howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 15, 2025 * ⚓ TecMint ☛ 24_Nmap_Commands_Every_Linux_Admin_Should_Use_for_Network Security⠀⇛ Nmap can identify live hosts, determine operating systems, detect packet filters, and reveal open ports running on remote systems. * ⚓ Jonathan_McDowell:_Local_Voice_Assistant_Step_3:_A_Detour_into Tensorflow⠀⇛ To build our local voice satellite on a Debian system rather than using the ATOM_Echo device we need something that can handle the wake word component; the piece that means we only send audio to the Home Assistant server for processing by whisper.cpp when we’ve detected someone is trying to talk to us. openWakeWord seems to be one of the better ways to do this, and is well supported. However. It relies on TensorFlow_Lite_(now LiteRT) which is a complicated mess of machine learning code. tflite-runtime is available from PyPI, but that’s prebuilt and we’re trying to avoid that. * ⚓ TecMint ☛ 15_Basic_Linux_Interview_Questions_with_Answers_(Entry- Level)⠀⇛ To support your learning and interview preparation, we’re excited to introduce a dedicated Linux Interview section on Tecmint, which will feature carefully selected Linux interview questions, along with detailed answers to help you prepare with confidence. * ⚓ Klara ☛ What_We’ve_Learned_Supporting_FreeBSD_in_Production⠀⇛ Let’s start bluntly: we love FreeBSD, but it isn’t the easiest. Like any robust system, running FreeBSD in production comes with specific operational challenges — particularly when used in commercial products or high-availability deployments. At Klara Inc., we have been supporting FreeBSD in commercial environments for almost 8 years at the time of publishing. Our work supporting and extending FreeBSD across a wide range of customer environments has revealed common pain points that organizations can anticipate and resolve with the right preparation. This article outlines the most frequent technical and operational issues encountered in production FreeBSD environments, and how engineering teams can mitigate them effectively. * ⚓ Trail of Bits ☛ The_cryptography_behind_passkeys⠀⇛ When most people think of cryptography, the first thing they typically think of is encryption: keeping information confidential. But just as important (if not more) is authenticity: ensuring that information is really coming from an authentic source. When you visit a website, the server typically proves its identity through a Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate authenticated by the Web Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Passwords are the traditional solution for user authentication, but they suffer from phishing attacks and data breaches. This is where passkeys come in. * ⚓ Customise_Nginx_Server_Headers_for_Better_Security⠀⇛ Learn how to enhance your website security by customising Nginx server headers using the headers-more module. This step-by-step guide shows you how to hide sensitive server information without recompiling Nginx. * ⚓ Remy Van Elst ☛ High_Available_Mosquitto_MQTT_on_Kubernetes⠀⇛ In this post, we'll walk through a fully declarative, Kubernetes-native setup for running a highly available MQTT broker using Eclipse Mosquitto. This configuration leverages core Kubernetes primitives (Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, and RBAC), alongside Traefik IngressRouteTCP to expose MQTT traffic externally. It introduces a lightweight, self-healing failover mechanism that automatically reroutes traffic to a secondary broker if the primary becomes unhealthy. The setup also demonstrates internal MQTT bridging, allowing seamless message propagation between brokers. The big advantage over a single Pod deployment (which, in case of node failure, k8s will restart after 5 minutes) is that this setup has a downtime of only 5 seconds and shared state, so all messages will be available on a failover. * ⚓ Evgeni_Golov:_running_modified_containers_with_podman⠀⇛ Everybody (who runs containers) knows this situation: you've been running happycontainer:stable for a while and it's been great but now something external changed and you need to adjust the code while there is still no release with the patch. * ⚓ Darren Goossens ☛ USB_to_serial_devices;_SiPix_A6_Pocket_printer_and FTDI;_Debian_GNU/Linux⠀⇛ We can see what the port configuration is using stty; note that a real serial port will be something like ttys0, but the one created by plugging in the USB to RS232 is likely to be ttyUSB0. Look in /dev before and after plugging in the dongle to see what it gets called. * ⚓ Cory Dransfeldt ☛ Managing_music_with_rclone⠀⇛ I've been listening to my music via Navidrome for a bit now and it's working quite well. To manage my music, I use rclone locally and on my host machine. When I add new music, I update the tags in Mp3tag, save the art to the same directory as the audio files and maintain a directory structure of Artist/Release Year-Album-Name/Encoding format/Files. These files reside on a drive I've creatively named Storage at /Volumes/Storage/Music which is backed up to Backblaze B2 via Arq. My music bucket is mounted to the server running Navidrome and made available to Navidrome as the music volume for the container, for example: [...] * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Two_broad_approaches_to_having_Multi-Factor Authentication_everywhere⠀⇛ (In practice the MFA protected network approach will probably be two things for people to deal with, not one, since if you have websites the natural way to protect them is with OIDC (or if you have to, SAML) through your single sign on system. Hopefully your SSO system is also what's being used for the MFA network access, so people only have to sign on to it once a day or whatever.) * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_MERN_Stack_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MERN Stack on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. The MERN stack has become increasingly popular among developers for creating dynamic web applications. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process of installing and configuring MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js on the latest Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Abusive_Monopolist_Microsoft_Edge_on Fedora_42 [Ed: This is proprietary spyware that steals all the users' passwords]⠀⇛ Microsoft Edge has become an increasingly popular choice for GNU/Linux users seeking a modern, feature-rich browsing experience. With Fedora 42 representing the cutting-edge of this respected GNU/Linux distribution, many users are looking to install Microsoft’s Chromium- based browser to take advantage of its unique features and Abusive Monopolist Microsoft ecosystem integration. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Htop_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Monitoring system resources is a crucial aspect of GNU/ Linux system administration. When managing a Fedora 42 system, having the right tools can make a significant difference in your ability to track processes, monitor resource usage, and quickly identify performance bottlenecks. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Pritunl_VPN_Server_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) have become essential tools for securing network communications in today’s digital landscape. Pritunl, an open-source VPN server solution, offers a robust platform with an intuitive web interface that simplifies VPN management. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Clownflare_Tunnel_on_Debian_12⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Clownflare Tunnel on Debian 12. In today’s interconnected digital landscape, securely exposing your self-hosted services to the internet presents significant challenges. Clownflare Tunnel offers an elegant solution by establishing secure outbound connections without exposing your server’s IP address or opening firewall ports. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Dolibarr_on_Rocky_GNU/Linux_9⠀⇛ Dolibarr is a powerful and versatile open-source ERP/CRM solution that provides businesses with essential tools for resource planning and customer relationship management. Whether you’re a small business owner, a freelancer, or managing a larger organization, Dolibarr offers a comprehensive suite of modules for invoicing, inventory management, CRM, human resources, and more. * ⚓ Sync_Your_Time:_How_to_Install_and_Configure_NTP_on_AlmaLinux_9⠀⇛ An AlmaLinux-running server should have the exact time because many commercial applications depend on it. This is why, when our AlmaLinux 9 server’s clock falls out of sync, all sorts of mysterious issues start appearing—from security certificate failures to authentication problems that seem to come out of nowhere. * ⚓ How_to_Install_CloudLinux_on_AlmaLinux_9_or_8⠀⇛ Do you want to migrate your existing AlmaLinux 9 or 8 to a CloudLinux server? This GNU/Linux tutorial will surely help you a lot! Managing a hosting server or web server, especially when using multiple web applications, can be complicated if you use the command line. * ⚓ Own HowTo ☛ How_to_install_Arch_GNU/Linux_on_WSL [Ed: This is Windows riding_other_people's_names]⠀⇛ WSL allows you to use Arch GNU/Linux on your backdoored Windows computer. All you need to do is launch the terminal, and use Arch linux. Installing Arch GNU/Linux on WSL is very simple, and can be done via a single command. * ⚓ 10_Essential_Linux_File_System_Commands_for_Data_Management⠀⇛ Did you know that there are many Linux commands for managing files? But if you're new to Linux or have only moderate experience, you might be wondering what the most important thing to learn is. No need to worry; we can help you.
