A newly proposed change, targeted for Fedora 44 (scheduled for release in mid-April 2026), outlines plans to discontinue multilib support on x86_64 systems and halt i686 package builds—a move that would streamline maintenance but also phase out legacy compatibility. Fedora has been gradually withdrawing from 32-bit support for years. In Fedora 31, the distribution stopped shipping i686 kernel packages and installation images, though it continued building i686 packages to support 32-bit applications on 64-bit systems (via multilib).

It is both an end-user application and a research platform. TeleSculptor has its origins in a software project developed as “MAP-Tk”, the Motion-imagery Aerial Photogrammetry Toolkit. The original software was not an end user application but a collection of developer tools and libraries. As the software evolved, it developed a graphical application that we now call TeleSculptor. At the same time, the software libraries of MAP- Tk were reorganized into a new, broader toolkit called KWIVER (Kitware Image and Video Exploitation and Retrieval). So, the original MAP-Tk has dissolved away leaving behind a TeleSculptor application powered by KWIVER. However, some uses of the name MAP-Tk may persist for historical reasons.

I've used quite a few over the past several years, and these seven are the ones I can't live without. [...] I was honestly quite surprised when I installed Pi-Hole to find that there were services still running on computers that I fully thought I had uninstalled. I checked those computers, and those services were, in fact, uninstalled. However, there was a small component still running in the background that had been running for years, calling home, sending data and information about my system to a remote server. I had no idea this was happening, and as soon as I saw the calls in Pi-Hole, I put a stop to it. This is just one instance of many where Pi-Hole is extremely useful on my home network. It has become invaluable for me when it comes to managing the access the devices on my network have to the outside world. If a smart home device is making a call I don't think it needs to make, then I can block it. Same with a computer or service. If you've not given Pi-Hole a try yet, I highly recommend it. You'd be surprised what all goes on in your network that you're not aware of—Pi-Hole gives you the ability to take back that control. o ⚓ XDA ☛ 7_Proxmox_LXCs_I_can't_live_without⠀⇛ I’ve been a diehard Proxmox fanboy for a long time, and have used the platform for everything from makeshift Hackintosh VMs to gaming-oriented virtual machines. After all, Proxmox brings a solid set of virtualization features, top-tier performance and massive compatibility with software packages and hardware components. If you’re a part of the container faction, you can even run LXCs on top of the virtualization platform. Thanks to TurnKey templates and genius developer tteck’s scripts repository, deploying Linux Containers becomes a cakewalk in Proxmox. As someone who relies heavily on these LXCs for home server projects, here’s my curated collection of must-have Proxmox containers. * § Graphics Stack⠀➾ o ⚓ Igalia ☛ Tvrtko_Ursulin:_Fair(er)_DRM_GPU_scheduler⠀⇛ § Introduction # The DRM GPU scheduler is a shared Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) GNU/Linux Kernel level component used by a number of GPU drivers for managing job submissions from multiple rendering contexts to the hardware. Some of the basic functions it can provide are dependency resolving, timeout detection, and most importantly for this article, scheduling algorithms whose essential purpose is picking the next queued unit of work to execute once there is capacity on the GPU. Different kernel drivers use the scheduler in slightly different ways - some simply need the dependency resolving and timeout detection part, while the actual scheduling happens in the proprietary firmware, while others rely on the scheduler’s algorithms for choosing what to run next. The latter ones is what the work described here is suggesting to improve. More details about the other functionality provided by the scheduler, including some low level implementation details, are available in the generated kernel documentation repository[1]. * § Benchmarks⠀➾ o ⚓ WCCF Tech ☛ Ubuntu_To_Disable_Intel_GPU_Security_Mitigations_To Improve_Graphics_Performance_By_Up_To_20%⠀⇛ The security mitigations deployed for Intel Graphics supposedly hamper the graphics performance, which is now in the talks for removal on Ubuntu. Canonical and Intel are Reportedly Disabling GPU Security Mitigations, Which Will Improve Intel Graphics Performance by up to 20% With security flaws such as Spectre and Meltdown, which were witnessed a few years ago, Intel started deploying multiple mitigations for its CPUs, which could cause users' data to be stolen.

Launched by Google in April, the A2A protocol addresses the need for agents to operate in dynamic, multi-agent environments. A2A enables autonomous agents to discover one another, exchange information securely, and collaborate across systems, which in turn allows developers to unite agents from multiple sources and platforms, improving modularity, mitigating vendor lock-in, and accelerating innovation, the Linux Foundation said in a June 23 announcement. Developers can go to the A2A repository on GitHub to learn more about the protocol and follow the progress of the project. The A2A project is being formed with participation from Amazon Web Services, Cisco, Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, SAP, and ServiceNow, Google said in a blog post, also dated June 23. Under Linux Foundation governance, A2A will remain vendor- neutral, emphasize inclusive contributions, and continue the protocol’s focus on extensibility, security, and real-world usability, the Linux Foundation said. “By joining the Linux Foundation, A2A is ensuring the long-term neutrality, collaboration, and governance that will unlock the next era of agent-to-agent powered productivity,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation. * ⚓ Linux_Foundation_to_host_Google's_Agent2Agent_protocol⠀⇛ Today at Open Source Summit North America, the Linux Foundation announced the formation of the Agent2Agent project with Amazon Web Services, Cisco, Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, SAP, and ServiceNow.

Technically (and maybe even psychologically), the easiest step is the hard one: get rid of Windows 10 and install an attractive, sustainable Linux desktop system in its place! Linux places no special demands on hardware, so there are generally no limitations when choosing a Linux system. Even more feature-rich desktop distributions like Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop, Kubuntu with KDE, or Linux Mint will run smoothly on any hardware that previously ran Windows 10. You only need to consider lighter distributions if the hardware was already noticeably struggling with Windows 10.

But my biggest impression from Linux Mint is still one it made early on: the customization. Even though it's made in a way that feels fairly familiar to someone coming from Windows 11, I was blown away by the customization options in Linux Mint right out of the box. There's so much you can change right away in a way that feels integrated into the OS, and it's kind of amazing — it makes me wish Windows offered the same kind of options.

It supports mobile GNOME, KDE Plasma Mobile, Phosh, Sxmo, and other graphical environments, with most of the functionality you would expect from desktop Linux. However, it’s still an experimental project—some ports don’t have perfect support for calling, cameras, texting, and other core features. The latest v25.06 release upgrades GNOME 47 to GNOME 48, and replaces KDE Plasma Mobile 6.2.4 with 6.3.5. The former change introduces “massive performance improvements with dynamic triple buffering” and several usability improvements, while the latter upgrade has interface improvements and “major bug fixes.” It also updates Phosh to 0.47, while Sxmo stays on the same 1.17.1 release.

Whether consciously or not, users notice that and stop pressing the key all the way through the maximum travel — reducing strain and RSI potential. Developed by researchers at KAIST’s HCI Tech Lab, UltraBoard is a novel wearable that provides similar tactile feedback while typing in virtual reality. * ⚓ Chris Aldrich ☛ Typewriter_Repair_Costs_and_Valuation:_Professional Shops_versus_Collectors_versus_First_Time_Buyers⠀⇛ For the sake of clarity, I’ll be addressing the majority of the typewriter sales in the secondary market which are broadly the most common typewriters made for the commercial market after about 1925.

It’s a welcome turnaround.” * ⚓ Smithsonian Magazine ☛ Over_600_Years,_the_Golf_Ball_Has_Evolved_From_a Primitive_Wood_Sphere_to_a_Smart_Ball_With_Cutting-Edge_Sensors⠀⇛ Golfers eventually discovered that scuffed golf balls were traveling farther than new ones. Dimples were soon added—between 300 and 500, depending on your taste—after physicists confirmed that air flowed more freely over these balls, minimizing drag, and the increased spin created more lift. And recently, some players have begun sharpening their game by using smart golf balls, with embedded sensors that enable golfers to collect analytics about their shots, identify strengths and weaknesses in their game—and, of course, to help locate those pesky lost balls. * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Atari_2600_digital_photo_frame⠀⇛ Nick’s program allows photos that have been converted into 8- bit pixel art to be displayed as a slideshow. However, since Atari 2600 cartridges can only contain 4kB of data (or 64kB if they’re bank-switched), he needed to get creative. To that end, he’s built what he calls a Picotari cartridge, with an edge connector that can slot into the console’s cart port. It supports a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller board, which provides two key benefits: it adds extra memory for storing many images and enables the running of his customised Atari 2600 ROM emulator so that the hardware can make use of them. * ⚓ Purism ☛ CNN_Report:_Purism_is_the_Only_Known_U.S._Phone_Manufacturer⠀⇛ In a recent CNN report, skepticism surrounds the Convicted Felon Organization’s claim that its new “T1” smartphone is “Made in the USA.” Experts, including Todd Weaver, CEO of Purism, challenged the claim, citing striking similarities between the T1 and a low-cost Chinese phone, the Revvl 7 Pro 5G, made by Wingtech, a Chinese manufacturer. * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Young_creators_on_the_move_at_Coolest_Projects_Belgium 2025⠀⇛ Young coders shine at Coolest Projects Belgium 2025 with 52 innovative STEM and coding creations - from AI tools to robotics and digital art. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 7_Projects_That_Might_Make_Me_Finally_Get_My_Raspberry_Pi Out_of_Storage⠀⇛ I received a Raspberry Pi 4 for Christmas and was genuinely excited.

The PC press had rumours of Quarterdeck's successor to DESQview, Desqview/X, from around 1987-1988. That is roughly when I entered the computer industry. Dv/X was remarkable tech, and if it had shipped earlier could have changed the course of the industry. Sadly, it came too late. Dv/X was rumoured then, but the state of the art was OS/ 2 1.1, released late 1988 and the first version of OS/2 with a GUI. Dv/X was not released until about_5Y_later... 1992. That's the same year as backdoored Windows 3.1, but critically, backdoored Windows 3.0 was in 1990, 2 years earlier.

In fact, it's widely thought[1] that you cannot write a program that will, for any arbitrary program as input, tell you correctly whether or not it will terminate. This is written from the framing of computers, though: can we do better with a human in the loop? It turns out, we can. And we can use a method that's generalizable, which many people can follow for many problems. Not everyone can use the method, which you'll see why in a bit. But lots of people can apply this proof technique. Let's get started. * ⚓ Michael Lynch ☛ My_First_Impressions_of_Gleam⠀⇛ I’m looking for a new programming language to learn this year, and Gleam looks like the most fun.

Whether you're scripting or solving quick math problems, bc is a must-know tool for Linux users. * § Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Francesco Mazzoli ☛ How_to_store_Go_pointers_from_assembly⠀⇛ The standard Go toolchain comes with an assembler out of the box. Said assembler is highly idiosyncratic, using syntax inherited from Plan 9 and choosing its own names for platform-specific instructions and registers. But it’s great to have it readily available. More mundanely, Go comes with a garbage collector. This post explains how to make these two components play nice, if we want to manipulate Go pointers from our assembly. o ⚓ Anton Zhiyanov ☛ JSON_evolution_in_Go:_from_v1_to_v2⠀⇛ The second version of the json package coming in Go 1.25 is a big update, and it has a lot of breaking changes.

Reliance on manual management of your network is not just time-consuming and error prone–it can impact your network performance, security, and reliability, as well as drain resource hours to determine root cause analysis. For your business, that means potential disruption of business operations, lower team productivity, higher operational costs, and less agility.  * ⚓ The New Stack ☛ How_AlmaLinux_and_Rocky_Linux_Have_Diverged_Since CentOS⠀⇛ Both AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux emerged in response to Red Hat’s discontinuation of CentOS Linux, aiming to provide free, community-driven, enterprise-grade operating systems compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). That was then. This is now. While they started with similar goals, their strategies, governance and technical directions diverged. Before diving into that, let’s start with where each came from. CloudLinux, a CentOS-based company specializing in Web server Linux, started AlmaLinux. From there, the distro moved to the nonprofit AlmaLinux OS Foundation. Its focus is on providing a stable, RHEL-compatible Application Binary Interface (ABI) platform. Commercial support is available via TuxCare. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2456 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/06/24/Security_and_FUD_Fear_Uncertainty_Doubt.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/06/24/Security_and_FUD_Fear_Uncertainty_Doubt.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security and FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 24, 2025 * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Steelmaker_Nucor_Says_Hackers_Stole_Data_in_Recent Attack⠀⇛ Nucor has shared an update on the impact of the recent cyberattack and confirmed that some data has been taken from its IT systems. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ 743,000_Impacted_by_McLaren_Health_Care_Data_Breach⠀⇛ The personal information of 743,000 individuals was compromised in a 2024 ransomware attack on McLaren Health Care. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Critical_Authentication_Bypass_Flaw_Patched_in Teleport⠀⇛ A critical-severity vulnerability in Teleport could allow remote attackers to bypass SSH authentication and access managed systems. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ New_Hey_Hi_(AI)_Jailbreak_Bypasses_Guardrails_With Ease⠀⇛ New "Echo Chamber" attack bypasses advanced LLM safeguards by subtly manipulating conversational context, proving highly effective across leading Hey Hi (AI) models. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ China’s_Salt_Typhoon_Hackers_Target_Canadian_Telecom Firms⠀⇛ Canada’s Centre for Cyber Security and the FBI warn of Chinese hackers targeting telecommunications and other companies in Canada. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ North_Korean_Hackers_Take_Over_Victims’_Systems_Using Zoom_Meeting⠀⇛ North Korean hackers employ social engineering to trick Zoom Meeting participants into executing system-takeover commands. * ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ Securing_federal_systems:_The_critical_role_of load_balancers_in_cybersecurity⠀⇛ Distributing traffic, mitigating attacks, enforcing security policies and ensuring high availability, they play a critical role in safeguarding sensitive data. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Monday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (libblockdev and open-vm-tools), Debian (debian-security-support, gdk-pixbuf, konsole, and node-send), Fedora (apache-commons-beanutils, chromium, clamav, dotnet9.0, libblockdev, mediawiki, mingw- python-setuptools, pam, perl-File-Find-Rule, python-pycares, python-setuptools, spdlog, udisks2, and xorg-x11-server- Xwayland), Mageia (chromium-browser-stable), Oracle (apache- commons-beanutils, container-tools:ol8, gimp:2.8, idm:DL1, perl-FCGI:0.78, and postgresql), Red Hat (container-tools: rhel8, delve, git-lfs, go-toolset:rhel8, grafana, kernel, mod_auth_openidc, and spice-client-win), SUSE (apache-commons- beanutils, apache2-mod_security2, distribution, gstreamer- plugins-good, icu, ignition, perl, python310, python311, python312, and python39), and Ubuntu (apache-log4j1.2 and botan). * ⚓ SANS ☛ Scans_for_Ichano_AtHome_IP_Cameras,_(Mon,_Jun_23rd)⠀⇛ * ⚓ Pen Test Partners ☛ CSP_directives._Base-ic_misconfigurations_with_big consequences⠀⇛ TL;DR Introduction The Content Security Policy (CSP) is a layer of security for web applications that helps detect and stop client-side attacks such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Clickjacking, data exfiltration, or mixed content loading. * ⚓ Help Net Security ☛ Stealthy_backdoor_found_hiding_in_SOHO_devices running_Linux [Ed: The term backdoor is misleading]⠀⇛ SecurityScorecard’s STRIKE team has uncovered a network of compromised small office and home office (SOHO) devices they’re calling LapDogs.

To that end, there are countless products and services that promise to keep you and your information private. Some work, and some are nothing but snake oil. For me, the best route to privacy goes through Linux and one of the many privacy-focused distributions. Recently, I stumbled upon another such distribution, Securonis. The name reminds me of the Arconis cybersecurity solution, but I'm confident the Linux distribution and the proprietary business software have nothing to do with one another. Securonis is based on the Debian testing branch and automatically, out of the box, routes all traffic through the Tor network, which means it's private and secure from the jump.

Like pre-broadband slow. So what gives? While I can't tell you exactly why this happens, it seems you and I are not the only ones that have this problem. Luckily a fix has been lurking out there on various forums for years now, and I think it's time to bring it out into the light. * ⚓ Andy Bell ☛ CSS_Color_Functions⠀⇛ I appreciate how detailed the guide is on colour spaces, colour functions, the relative colour syntax and loads of links out to good content on the site about colours. * ⚓ David Mead ☛ Can_your_terminal_do_emojis?_How_big?⠀⇛ The way it works is you use the DECDHL (DEC Double-Height Line) escapes, to change the "style" of the whole line, it then uses a bigger font of which one line is the top half, the next line is the bottom half. (Based on how pixelated it is I think the VT100 just scales up the normal font.) * ⚓ Ivan ☛ Using_Wireshark_to_reverse-engineer_a_USB_device⠀⇛ A couple of months ago I bought the Nanoleaf Pegboard Desk Dock, the latest and greatest in USB-hub-with-RGB-LEDs-and- hooks-for-gadgets technology. This invention unfortunately only supports the real gamer operating systems of Windows and macOS, which necessitated the development of a Linux driver. Previously, I set up a Windows VM for the purposes of reverse- engineering the protocol used by this device, which was frankly way more complicated than it needed to be. Today we’re going to actually set up the tracing and see what we can glean from a cursory look. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Htop_on_Rocky_GNU/Linux_10⠀⇛ System monitoring forms the backbone of effective GNU/ Linux server administration. Rocky GNU/Linux 10, as an enterprise-grade distribution, demands robust monitoring tools that provide real-time insights into system performance and resource utilization. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_GLPI_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ GLPI (Gestionnaire Libre de Parc Informatique) stands as one of the most powerful open-source IT asset management and helpdesk solutions available today. This comprehensive IT service management platform revolutionizes how organizations track, manage, and maintain their technology infrastructure. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Wireshark_on_Manjaro⠀⇛ Wireshark stands as one of the most powerful and widely- used network protocol analyzers available today. For Manjaro GNU/Linux users interested in network analysis, security testing, or troubleshooting connectivity issues, installing Wireshark provides essential capabilities for deep packet inspection and network monitoring. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Pi-hole_on_Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ Pi-hole stands as one of the most effective network-level ad blocking solutions available today, transforming your Linux Mint 22 system into a powerful DNS sinkhole that eliminates advertisements, trackers, and malicious content before they reach any device on your network. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Floorp_Browser_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Floorp Browser on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. The landscape of web browsers continues to evolve as users seek alternatives that prioritize privacy, performance, and customization. Among the emerging contenders, Floorp stands out as a compelling Firefox-based browser that promises enhanced speed and advanced features. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_LEMP_Stack_on_AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install LEMP Stack on AlmaLinux 10. Setting up a robust web development environment requires the right combination of technologies. The LEMP stack represents one of the most powerful and efficient web server configurations available today. * ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ 10_Bash_Scripts_to_Automate_Daily_GNU/Linux_SysAdmin Tasks⠀⇛ Daily tasks to automate for a SysAdmin are: package, network, firewall, service, etc. Read this article for practical demonstrations of these scripts. * ⚓ TecMint ☛ Set_Up_Incremental_Backups_with_rsync_and_cron_on_Linux⠀⇛ In this guide, I’ll show you how to schedule incremental backups using rsync and cron. I’ll explain what incremental backups are, how rsync works under the hood, and how to automate the whole process with cron. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3031 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/06/24/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/06/24/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 24, 2025 * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ # ⚓ Jamie Zawinski ☛ XScreenSaver_and_Wayland⠀⇛ (But swaylock is Wrong anyway: as I keep saying, locking should be built into the display manager, not some third-party user-space program.) * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Ubuntu News ☛ Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_Issue_897⠀⇛ Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue 897 for the week of June 15 – 21, 2025.

"30 years of waiting, and I can use MS Edit on Linux," wrote one Reddit user, capturing the nostalgic appeal of running a genuinely useful version of a Microsoft DOS utility on a Unix-like system. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3094 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/06/24/Web_Browsers_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/06/24/Web_Browsers_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web Browsers Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 24, 2025 * ⚓ Chawan ☛ Chawan:_Gallery⠀⇛ Following screenshots were taken from Chawan 0.2.0 in XTerm 399 using 1024 Sixel color registers. * ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ A_family_of_forks⠀⇛ curl supports getting built with eleven different TLS libraries.
