I've had maybe one Ubuntu upgrade in over a decade that had problems, and even that was a fairly straightforward fix. But not all Linux distributions are created equal, and some are more challenging than others. Some distributions even make the upgrade process more difficult, and a few give users fair warning about why it's important to stay informed.

And since then, I’ve come to appreciate the incredible variety of open-source software available, not just because it's free but because it respects your privacy. If you're a Linux user, there's a good chance you're already using well-known tools like GIMP, Photopea, LibreOffice, and others. But the real gems aren’t always the ones that get all the attention. Some of the most powerful and useful apps are the ones that quietly do their job without making a splash. Take Midnight Commander, for example. It's easily the best file manager I've used on any platform. Over time, I’ve built a small collection of underrated Linux apps that I now rely on every day.

Back then, I didn't have anyone there to tell me what to expect. It would have been nice to get even a bit of advice from someone with Linux experience in the know to say, "Hey, you'll want to know about this before you start down that path." It would have made things easier. Instead, I took just dove right in, hoping I could figure it all out as I went. The good news: Linux today is not nearly as difficult as it was back then. In fact, Linux is downright easy.

Since ChromeOS gained native Linux app support a while ago, Chromebooks have been completely revolutionized with their capabilities.

With no attribution (NA) licenses, things can get really bad. NA licenses are simple, non-copyleft free software licenses, compatible with the GNU General Public License (GPL). But they do not require preserving copyright and license notices. Using these licenses leads to confusion, liability risk, and taking freedom away from users. When there is no copyright notice, you are not able to identify who has given permission to use the software. Consequently, it becomes significantly harder to determine if the license was granted by an authorized person. Users may also think that, without a license notice, they have received a nonfree program. Additionally, while NA licenses do not contain a requirement to preserve the copyright and license notices, that doesn't actually mean these notices can be removed. In some jurisdictions, if not most, removing copyright- related information may actually constitute copyright infringement. While NA licenses are still free software licenses, even if you preserve the notices anyone who receives the program from you might remove them. Instead of advancing the goals of the free software movement, NA licenses have a saddening antisocial effect. If the notice is removed from a program under this kind of license, it in effect becomes nonfree to anyone who receives the program after. Such users are left on their own to find the source code and confirm freedom from the original distributors. To avoid this major risk, we recommend that you seek differently licensed free software programs that do the same job when possible.

As seen in the examples of countless corporations contributing open source, the benefits are concrete, and the process usually runs well after the initial ramp-up and organizational learning phase has passed. In open source ecosystems, contributing upstream should be as natural as paying vendors in any business. If you are using open source and not contributing at all, you likely have latent business risks without realizing it. You don’t want to wake up one morning to learn that your top talent left because they were forbidden from participating in open source for the company’s benefit, or that you were fined due to CRA violations and mismanagement in sharing security fixes with the correct parties. The faster you start with the process, the less likely those risks will materialize.

In this article, we will introduce Savannah and some tools and techniques that the Savannah hackers and FSF system administrators use to mitigate DDoS attacks against GNU resources and the FSF network. This series of attacks is not limited to Savannah: staff and volunteers have read about similar attacks against other software forges including Sourceware, Pagure, GitLab instances, SourceHut, and Codeberg, as well as Gitea and Forgejo instances. We hope this article can help others fight these attacks as well. GNU Savannah is the software development forge operated by the GNU Project and hosted by the FSF. GNU Savannah was initially a fork of SourceForge installed by Loïc Dachary, distinguished by an express commitment to only host free software. While savannah.gnu.org is reserved for official GNU packages, savannah.nongnu.org hosts free software packages that are not officially GNU packages. Savannah is hosted by the FSF with a core infrastructure in Massachusetts, maintained and operated by the Savannah hackers team with the help of the FSF system administrators. Savannah continuously works to maintain an A-grade from the GNU Ethical Repository Criteria Evaluations.

Fedora 42 is here, and so Fedora 43 is taking shape. That means members of the Fedora community can submit proposals for changes to the distro's future direction. Many of these consist of internal stuff that isn't very visible to the wider world, but sometimes major changes are submitted for debate. In the last couple of weeks, two major changes have been made, discussed, and pretty firmly vetoed. A week ago, three developers suggested that it was time to drop i686 support system-wide. In other words, remove the ability to install and run 32-bit programs on x86. This doesn't mean running Fedora on 32-bit machines. On x86, it has only run on 64-bit machines for nearly six years. The last version that could run on x86-32 was Fedora 30 from April 2019.

If you have critical 32-bit software running on a Fedora instance, you can rest assured an upgrade to version 44 won't disrupt your experience, at least not for that reason. Earlier in June, several developers behind Fedora Linux put together a proposal to stop supporting x86 32-bit (i686 specifically) libraries with Fedora 43, before changing the target to Fedora 44. For context, the current stable version of Fedora is 42, and Fedora 43 won't arrive until November of this year, while Fedora 44 will be out a year following that. So we're a solid year-and-a-half away from when the proposed change would have come into effect. Read_on Linuxiac: * ⚓ Fedora_Holds_Off_on_Dropping_i686,_Citing_Community_Needs⠀⇛ Things have heated up in the Fedora community over the past week thanks to two controversial proposals. The first suggested replacing Xorg with the new XLibre project, but after a wave of pushback from Fedora developers, that idea was quickly withdrawn. Now, another bold proposal has met a similar end. Just a week ago, Fabio Valentini, a member of the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo), proposed dropping i686 support and 32-bit multilib compatibility starting with Fedora 44 (scheduled for release in mid-April 2026).

The main concerns about this change centered on its impact on Wine and Steam, both of which depend heavily on 32-bit libraries.

It’s offered under royalty-free open source licenses. Its open nature allows for flexible customization, modularity, and a reduced cost of innovation, making it attractive for various applications, from embedded systems to supercomputers. RISC-V is gaining more popularity because of its improved design and open-source approach to development.

The reasons for the anemic healthcare system are broad, including the high cost of care and insufficient number of medical practitioners. Other problems are less quantitative, like increasing distrust in providers and treatments and limited preventive care. Free software, such as GNU Health (a free software hospital management information system), has the power to alleviate some of the problems present in the US healthcare system. The perception that profitability outweighs patient interest, as well as leaking of healthcare data to companies like Google, among other factors, have led to a 31.4% drop in trust in healthcare providers. Some of this distrust can be blamed on a lack of transparency, which free software can greatly help with. When medical practitioners use tech that runs on free software, their patients can be much more confident that the software works in their best interest. You can examine (or ask someone else) if the health record management system or telehealth software is built in consideration of your health instead of profit margins.

They're now even accessible from the CLI, which makes them a bit more interesting for the nerdier among us. One game-changer for LLMs is the development of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which allows an external process to feed information (resources) to the model in real time. This could be your IDE, your browser, or even your desktop environment. It also enables the LLM to trigger predefined actions (tools) exposed by the MCP server. The protocol is basically JSON-RPC over socket communication, which makes it easy to implement in languages like Rust. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Wesley Moore ☛ Doing_My_Day_Job_on_Chimera_Linux⠀⇛ Since I started running the first alpha release of Chimera Linux in 2023, my goal has been to eventually migrate to Chimera as my primary operating system. This includes personal tinkering as well as for my job as a programmer. A recent trip to Central Queensland afforded an opportunity to test the waters of daily driving Chimera Linux for work. The trip spanned two weeks and involved working remotely (as usual) during the week, and sightseeing on the weekends. This post details some of the barriers that I encountered and how I worked around them. While the post is focussed on Chimera Linux, the details probably apply to most distributions using musl libc. * § Security⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Monday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (mod_proxy_cluster), Debian (catdoc, chromium, nagvis, and sudo), Fedora (chromium, gum, kubernetes1.32, moodle, podman, python3-docs, python3.13, salt, and tigervnc), Mageia (x11-server, x11-server-xwayland & tigervnc), Oracle (apache-commons-beanutils, exiv2, expat, firefox, git, git-lfs, gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free, ipa, java-21- openjdk, kea, kernel, libarchive, libblockdev, libsoup3, libvpx, libxslt, mod_auth_openidc, nodejs22, osbuild- composer, perl, perl-File-Find-Rule, php, python-jinja2, python-tornado, sqlite, thunderbird, valkey, varnish, weldr-client, xorg-x11-server-Xwayland, xz, and yggdrasil), Red Hat (apache-commons-beanutils, javapackages-tools:201801, kernel, and python3.11), SUSE (apache-commons-fileupload, gimp, glib2, himmelblau, nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed, sqlite3, thunderbird, yelp, and yelp-xsl), and Ubuntu (samba). o ⚓ Qt ☛ Security_advisory:_Recently_reported_incomplete_cleanup issue_in_Qt's_Schannel_handling_can_impact_Qt⠀⇛ There is a "Incomplete Cleanup" problem in Qt’s Schannel handling when it is used to provide a server handling incoming TLS connections.  This has been assigned the CVE id CVE-2025-6338. * § Linux Foundation⠀➾ o ⚓ Open Source For U ☛ Linux_Foundation_Strengthens_Cloud_Leadership [Ed: Chaff_for_LF]⠀⇛ In a move to strengthen its leadership in open source cloud and infrastructure technologies, the Linux Foundation has appointed Jonathan Bryce as Executive Director, Cloud & Infrastructure, and Chris Aniszczyk as Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Cloud & Infrastructure.

It was to me when I began my first year of college. Like many budding software engineers, I saw free software as a subculture for hobbyists and tinkerers. It was interesting, even admirable, but not particularly relevant to me. I didn't run a free operating system, and didn't see much reason to. I was a computer science student who loved coding, but assumed that proprietary and free software simply coexisted, each with its place in the world. I didn't begin to see the stakes more clearly until I spent a summer working with a small engineering firm. Despite being just a summer intern, I was the only person at this company that was constantly getting new clients and projects. That meant I got handed an unusual job—reverse-engineering a proprietary codebase for a medical console. There are certain things I'm not at legal liberty to disclose, but the essence of it was this: our client wanted to manufacture cheaper peripherals (or accessories, such as a mouse) for the console, but the device's software was designed to prevent third-party compatibility. The company behind it—for our purposes, let's just call it Nonfree Software Incorporated (NSI)—had gone to great lengths to lock users into their overpriced scheme.

Plasma 6.4 was released in June 2025 with many feature refinements and new modules to complete the desktop experience. This release adds a week’s worth of new translations and fixes from KDE’s contributors. The bugfixes are typically small but important and include: Due to systemd limitation causing regression on AD managed systems, fix for CAP_WAKE_ALARM provided in Plasma 6.4.0 release was partially reverted in powerdevil. If your distribution wants to provide support for alarm wakeups from suspend on Plasma Mobile device, Please manually override plasma-powerdevil.service systemd user unit to pass CAP_WAKE_ALARM in AmbientCapabilities. Linuxiac: * ⚓ KDE_Plasma_6.4.2_Desktop_Environment_Released⠀⇛ Only a week after Plasma 6.4.1 was released, the KDE team rolled out version 6.4.2 as the second bugfix update to its 6.4 series. Among the most notable changes is a tweak to Powerdevil, KDE’s power management service for handling sleep, suspend, and brightness, where a partial revert was made to handle a systemd limitation affecting AD-managed systems. In light of this, for users on Plasma Mobile needing alarm wakeups from suspend, distributions may need to manually adjust the “plasma-powerdevil.service” systemd unit to enable “CAP_WAKE_ALARM” support. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠿⠇⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⠿⢻⣝⣫⣭⣯⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣦⡶ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⣀⣀⣈⣸⣰⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠋⠵⣿⣿⣻⣯⡹⣿⡄⠻⣿⠀⠙⠟ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⣦⣀⣧⣿⣿⣽⠟⠃⠉⠉⠁⠀⣚⣻⣿⣿⣿⠻⠃⠘⠁⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣖⣺⣿⣿⣭⠥⣿⣯⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣩⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣶⣾⢶⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠒⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢁⣬⣽⣿⡯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⢠⡤⡀⠈⢽⡿⠿⣆⣿⣿⡟⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣭⣽⣟⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡦⣴⡶⣶⣶⣤⣰⣶⣶⣮⣴⣶⣿⣼⣶⣦⣍⠁⣨⣤⣄⡀⣀⣀⣀⡀⣀⠀⣀⣠⣦⣄⣀⣴⣾⣯⡉⠁⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠀⢸⡿⣿⣄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣅⡉⣡⣾⡋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠈⣉⣙⢿⣿⣏⢻⣿⡍⠙⡿⠉⠁⠹⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠉⠉⡉⠉⠀⢨⣭⠁⢿⣆⠳⣯⡉⠉⠍⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣼⣿⣿⣧⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣿⠀⠙⠻⣿⣷⡻⣿⡆⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠆⠀⠀⠀⠻⣆⡀⠀⠸⣧⡀⠀⢻⣦⡈⠻⢧⣌⠉⠓⠦⢄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠲⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠂⠀⠀⠈⠛⠄⠄⠈⠛⠶⢤⣉⠋⠐⠤⡀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣬⣻⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⣿⣿⣿⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⢾⣿⣦⡙⠻⣿⣷⡀⠚⢿⣿⣦⡀⠠⣶⣶⣶⡄⠀⠀⣠⣤⣄⠀⢀⣠⣤⣄⣠⣴⣶⣤⡶ ⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣶⣦⡙⣿⡇⠀⠙⠟⠁⠀⠀⠹⢿⣃⣀⣀⣉⣿⣿⣂⣈⣙⣻⣿⣷⡈⠙⠻⣿⣧⠈⠙⣿⣷ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠟⢛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⠛⠻⠟⠃⠀⠀⠹⠟⠀⠀⠘⠋ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠴⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⡿⡿⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠩⠶⠄⠀ ⣿⣯⣏⣉⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1938 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/01/Latest_on_Debian_and_Ubuntu.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/01/Latest_on_Debian_and_Ubuntu.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Latest on Debian and Ubuntu⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 01, 2025 * § Debian Family⠀➾ o ⚓ Chiark ☛ Colin_Watson:_Free_software_activity_in_June 2025⠀⇛ My Debian contributions this month were all Freexian.

There's a process, although it's not something that is formally documented and described. Like Linux itself, this process has evolved over time. Each time a new point-release of the kernel comes out, Torvalds starts work on the next one. He opens what's termed a merge window, as The Register described a few years ago. During that time window, developers submit new code for inclusion. Then follows a series of work-in-progress test releases, with rc for "release candidate" on the end of the version number: right now, we're on 6.16-rc4. Code submissions – in the terminology of the Git revision-control system, "pull requests" – continue during that time, but they are meant to be bug fixes and only bug fixes. This time around, bcachefs maintainer Kent Overstreet submitted a PR that included some new functionality. That's a big no-no: the RC phase is for fixing stuff sent in during the merge window. Torvalds was not happy, but Overstreet, as he tends to, didn't back down but rather defended the change.

[Thibault] has a Pi 4 in this role, and it’s used to back up the data from his VPS in a data centre. The Pi 4 may be small and relatively affordable, but it’s no slouch in computing terms, so he was extremely surprised to see it showing a transfer speed in bytes per second rather than kilobytes or megabytes. What was up? He set out to find the bottleneck. * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Radio_Module_2_available_now_at_$4⠀⇛ As our RP2040 and RP2350 customers go to scale, they often ask us for a wireless solution which provides software and feature- set compatibility with Raspberry Pi Pico-series devices. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Nexus_RP2350_LiPo_board_improves_on_Raspberry_Pi_Pico_2 with_LiPo_battery_support,_16MB_flash,_USB-C_port⠀⇛ Zaitronics Nexus RP2350 LiPo is a Raspberry Pi RP2350 board similar to the Raspberry Pi Pico 2, but with various improvements, namely support for LiPo batteries, a 16MB SPI flash, a USB-C port, and a Qwiic/STEMMA QT expansion connector. The Australian company says that apart from those improvements, the board has the same size and pinout as the original Raspberry Pi Pico 2, and if there’s enough interest, a Nexus RP2350 LiPo W board adding WiFi and Bluetooth may also be designed in the future. Nexus RP2350 LiPo specifications: SoC – Raspberry Pi RP2350A CPU Dual-core Arm Cortex-M33 @ 150 MHz with Arm Trustzone, Secure boot OR Dual-core RISC-V Hazard3 @ 150 MHz Either two cores can be used. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Radio_Module_2_(RM2)_is_officially available_for_$4⠀⇛ Raspberry Pi has just announced the general availability of the Radio Module 2 (RM2) wireless module with WiFi 4 and Bluetooth LE connectivity for $4. The Raspberry Pi RM2 wireless module was already available to some select partners, which explains why the Raspberry Pi RM2 was found in the Pimoroni Pico Plus 2 W and SparkFun Thing Plus – RP2350 since the end of last year. The latest announcement just means it’s available to anybody, and documentation like the datasheet has been released publicly. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Hexfellow_Y200_IMU_–_An_industrial_9-axis_sensor_with shock-resistant_housing,_CAN_Bus,_and_60V_input⠀⇛ The Hexfellow Y200 is a rugged, 9-axis industrial-grade IMU module designed for robotics and AGV applications. It supports direct 12V to 60V input and connects via a CAN Bus interface using a standard XT30 connector. The module produces high- accuracy roll, pitch, and yaw angle output at up to 200Hz, and combines a low-variance accelerometer and gyroscope for stable performance. Its reinforced enclosure and internal potting process enhance shock resistance and durability. * ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ The_A2DVI_gives_the_Apple_II_DVI_and_HDMI_output⠀⇛ Those of you who’ve read my ramblings for a while know I’m a CP/M tragic.

For example, a drop down menu under X11 is a window with no border that is placed in a very specific location determined by the application. It then grabs all the input so that up and down arrows work and clicking outside will dismiss it. That also means that global shortcuts won’t work while the menu is open. You can’t take a screenshot of it, you can’t even lock your screen. In 2025, this is embarrassing. Under Wayland on the other hand, such a menu is an XDG Popup. The application tells the compositor what button it came from and what to do when it can’t fit (flip to the other side, scroll, etc). The compositor then gets to decide where to put the menu (not crossing display boundaries, for example) and to make sure it goes away when you click elsewhere or switch to a different application.

A Microsoft moment. But not in the market share sense, no. In the lock-the-user sense. For the first time ever, the Linux user may now be faced with a Linux- only conundrum of what to run and where to compromise usability wise. Sure, if you want to migrate from Windows over, you need to take your software requirements into account. There ain't no 1:1 translation. But Linux folks never before faced this dilemma. Specialized enterprise software? Yes. You might have to run RHEL or alike, perhaps. Desktop software? There were no limitations. With Wayland, unfortunately, those limitations are now in place. If you want to use Wayland, you may have to do with a reduced set of programs or use cases. And that's fine, if, I repeat, IF you want to use Wayland. But if you don't, then you face an ugly, arbitrary imposition. All I'm saying is, dear Linux people, please don't behave like the Googles and Microsofts of this world. We have enough corporate crap as it is. We don't need TPM-like moments in the Linux world. Let X11 be, if and UNTIL Wayland truly reaches maturity. And then, we can all happily switch, everyone, together. Quality for quality, no compromises, no usability lost. As my testing above shows, performance is yet another sore point in the Wayland story. The most basic, trivial things are still meh. My focus is on Plasma, because I love Plasma, I use Plasma, I care about Plasma. I don't care so much about other desktop environments, and a few - none at all. But the message is for the entire Linux distroscape and their flavors. The whole move-fast, break-things, always-beta approach is bad. It's self-defeating. Don't let it be the defining characteristic of the Penguinland. Take care.

There was only one interesting aspect of the design: a small EEPROM (a type of memory storage used for small amounts of data), which tracked how many times the peripheral was used. This didn't have a purpose beyond forcing hospitals to purchase more of these peripherals after just a handful of uses, as each had an artificial limit. There was no justifiable technical or medical reason for this; on their own, these peripherals could function indefinitely. The restrictions were artificial, a way to extract more money from medical professionals and, ultimately, their patients. * ⚓ Vereis ☛ Simple_Elixir_Optimization⠀⇛ We all know that feeling when you get that bug report... "This new feature is so slow!", or you notice your unit tests are taking longer than expected. I ran into this last week while pairing with a new engineer in my team, and I was able to point out a few simple optimizations that made a huge difference in the performance of our new code. Without diving deep into the rabbit hole of complex profiling tools, I wanted to share some simple tips that can help you optimize your Elixir code quickly and effectively. * ⚓ Stephen Kell ☛ Rambles_around_computer_science⠀⇛ The cartoonist Dick Guindon famously wrote as follows. 1. Writing is nature's way of letting you know how sloppy your thinking is. * ⚓ Nicholas Tietz-Sokolsky ☛ That_boolean_should_probably_be_something else⠀⇛ One of the first types we learn about is the boolean. It's pretty natural to use, because boolean logic underpins much of modern computing. And yet, it's one of the types we should probably be using a lot less of. In almost every single instance when you use a boolean, it should be something else. * ⚓ Jono Alderson ☛ Stop_testing._Start_shipping.⠀⇛ Because SEO testing isn’t free. It’s not clean. And it’s rarely conclusive. And too often, the pursuit of measurability leads to a skewed sense of priority. Teams focus on the things they can test, not the things they should improve. The strategic gives way to the testable. What’s measurable takes precedence over what’s meaningful. Worse, it’s often a distraction from progress. An expensive, well-intentioned form of procrastination. * ⚓ Greg Newman ☛ Emacs_Take_Two_(Eglot)⠀⇛ I started using Emacs about 20 years ago. From the start I was heavily involved in the Emacs IRC channel and the Org mode mailing list. I contributed the refresh of the Org mode logo to Dr. Carsten Dominik and the community as a small thank you for such a great package. All my notes were stored in Org mode files, along with my task lists. For development I used Elpy for Python and Webmode for anything HTML and Javascript. Elpy was good enough for me back then. Webmode was just ok but had a lot of problems with javascript. I jumped over to LSP mode pretty early and that solved a lot of problems with Python but it was a pain to configure and broke at the most inconvenient times. I was frustrated a lot of the time I was trying to work. * ⚓ Chloé Vulquin ☛ Emacs_After_a_Decade_of_Vim⠀⇛ It's not a secret, I've been a vim, then neovim user. Actually for longer than a decade, but it sounds better this way. This is a story about my recent (3 months) excursion into emacs. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Building_Trust_with_Code:_Validating_Shiny_Apps_in_Regulated Environments⠀⇛ This blog post is a follow up to my 2025 R/Medicine talk on Validating Shiny Apps in Regulated Environments. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Predicting_Gold_Prices:_Backtesting_of_ML_Models⠀⇛ Fitch projects a decline of about 30% in gold in 2026. Easing the trade war and the Israel-Iran conflict may support this idea. We will project how the prices could go by the end of the year.

The results were eye- opening—and not in a good way. A surprisingly large number of developers replied with something along the lines of “whatever version is included with my OS.” If that’s you, this post is for you. I don’t say that to shame or scold—many of us started out this way. But if you’re serious about writing and running Perl in 2025, it’s time to stop relying on the system Perl. Let’s unpack why. # ⚓ Rakulang ☛ Rakudo_Weekly_2025.26_Release_#184⠀⇛ Rakudo compiler, Release #184 (2025.06) was announced with many improvements and fixes to v6.d and I counted 40 new features for RakuAST in v6.e.PREVIEW. o § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ Didier Stevens ☛ Overview_of_Content_Published_in_June⠀⇛ # ⚓ Philip Zucker ☛ Inequality_Union_Finds:_Baby_Steps_to Refinement_E-graphs⠀⇛ The basic idea of an inequality union find is brutally simple once you ask the question, and I’m not sure there is anything super fancy/clever you’ll ever be able to do to improve on the basic version of it. You’re going to pay super linear cost for dealing with the inequalities. I don’t think there is a free lunch here. The question is more so how to avoid materialization and how to make an elegant low level data structure (which I am only partially addressing since I’m sticking to python). # ⚓ Rlang ☛ Did_my_eyes_just_see_Python_in_the_pharmaverse?⠀⇛ The eagle-eyed among you might have noticed in recent months updated wording on our pharmaverse charter and generally across our website to generalize our scope to “open-source software packages and codebases”. As part of this, we released our first ever dedicated page to an open source language other than R, with our Python page. Here you can explore the first pharmaverse offerings in this space: [...] o § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ # ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ How_history_works_in_the_version_of the_rc_shell_that_I_use⠀⇛ Later, the version of rc that I use got support for GNU Readline and other line editing environments (and I started using it). GNU Readline maintains its own in-memory command history, which is used for things like cursor-up to the previous line. In rc, this in-memory command history is distinct from the $history file history, and things can get confusing if you mix the two (for example, cursor- up to an invocation of your 'repeat the last command' function won't necessarily repeat the command you expect). # ⚓ Ted Unangst ☛ writing_a_little_gosh⠀⇛ I had the idea to write a little shell in go. Called gosh, of course. There’s a few people playing with the same theme, but nothing exactly the same. The idea is we have all these commands outputting data and processing it, and the unix ideal where everything is a beautiful line of text is awkward to process. That’s why they called it awk. What if the data were structured in some way, so that I can sort ls output by file owner, even if ls doesn’t offer that, and without counting columns and hoping they’re always the same? ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2791 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/01/Red_Hat_Official_Site_Latest_Blog_Posts.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/01/Red_Hat_Official_Site_Latest_Blog_Posts.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat Official Site: Latest Blog Posts⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 01, 2025 * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ What's_new_in_Red_Hat_OpenShift_Virtualization 4.19⠀⇛ Organizations are increasingly leveraging hybrid cloud strategies to gain agility, cost optimization and disaster recovery capabilities.

Discovered by GamingOnLinux, Fabio Valentini, a member of the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee, clarified in a discussion thread that 32-bit removal from Fedora 44 was "just the earliest 'reasonable' target" and wasn't a plan he fully expected to go through. The programmer was disappointed by the sheer number of commenters responding harshly to the change, saying, "I was expecting a lot of feedback on this one, but not hundreds of people shouting 'DON’T DO THIS, WHY DON’T YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR USERS, I WILL SWITCH DISTROS IMMEDIATELY levels of feedback." The backlash stemmed from reports that the change could potentially undermine support for gaming service Steam. The developer said the proposal to eliminate 32-bit support was "...not some conspiracy to break the 'gaming use case'." Valentini clarified that the proposal aimed to address specific technical issues that package maintainers and release engineers encounter with Fedora.

It is this philosophy that launched the free software movement. It shaped the definition of "free software" and resulted in the FSF's mission of promoting worldwide computer user freedom. The FSF's work covers a wide range of activities. Board members and staff speak about free software all over the world and are active in campaigns on a wide variety of topics related to our cause. We educate people about free software philosophy and explain the workings of copyleft and the GNU General Public License (GPL). We work directly with organizations to increase proper use and compliance with the GPL, process copyright assignments from developers (thank you!), and steward the GPL. We get involved legally where we can, like with our amicus brief for the recent Neo4j, Inc., et al. v. Suhy, et al. case and our deposition for the Software Freedom Conservancy Inc. vs. Vizio, Inc. case, cementing our position that users should be free to enforce their right to source code under the GNU GPL licenses through any available legal mechanism, without having to rely on a copyright holder to take action. Importantly, we run our organization entirely with free software and support the GNU Project, one of the largest free software projects in the world, by maintaining its infrastructure, and do the same for several community projects. Our work in free software advocacy is making a difference. Research shows that the GPL is the fourth most used license on one of the most popular collaborative developer platforms, and in 2023, the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL) moved to the fifth position globally. Another recent statistic states that 96% of all software has free software in it.

When looking for such distributions, I tend to consider those based on Ubuntu first, which one might think is limiting, but there are hundreds of distributions with that base. Every so often, however, I run into a Debian-based distribution that fits the bill. That makes perfect sense, given Ubuntu itself is based on Debian.

That sounds like an impressive statistic, but the company isn't as quick to point out that three years ago, the figure stood at 1.4 billion, meaning 400 million devices are no longer running the OS. In a post focused on Windows 10's upcoming end-of-support date (October 14), Microsoft EVP Yusuf Mehdi boasts that Windows is the most widely used operating system in the world today, with over one billion monthly active devices globally. However, it's been noted that in its 2022 annual report, Microsoft said 1.4 billion devices were running Windows 10 or Windows 11, up from 1.3 billion devices a year earlier. * ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Dan_Langille_and_I_have_new_laptops⠀⇛ Dan goes into detail explaining what he does with a new machine. I won’t go into as much detail, but these are my high- level steps. In the past I had Ansible scripts I’d use to stand up new machines. But desktops thesedays change so much, they were rarely usable out of the box without tinkering. So now I configure things the old fashioned way; albeit with a few choice repositories. * ⚓ Dan Langille ☛ Adding_in_a_stand-by_spare_drive_for_ZFS_on_FreeBSD⠀⇛ This is a follow up to Adding in a hot-spare for zfs on FreeBSD from two months ago. The replacement for the returned drive has arrived and after sitting for many weeks on my coffee table, it is installed in r730-03. Here it is, as found in /var/log/ messages – this host is a Dell R730 which has drive cages allowing me to insert the drive without powering off the host. * ⚓ System76 ☛ Open_Source_Summit_2025_Recap_with_System76⠀⇛ Thelio Astra, System76 COSMIC Desktop Presentation and an epic happy hour. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3882 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/01/YY3588_Development_Board_with_up_to_32GB_RAM_2_5GbE_Port_and_On.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/01/YY3588_Development_Board_with_up_to_32GB_RAM_2_5GbE_Port_and_On.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ YY3588 Development Board with up to 32GB RAM, 2.5GbE Port and Onboard NFC⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jul 01, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇YY3588_SBC_Top_View⦈_ Quoting: YY3588 Development Board with up to 32GB RAM, 2.5GbE Port and Onboard NFC YY3588 Development Board with up to 32GB RAM, 2.5GbE Port and Onboard NFC — The YY3588 supports Android 14, Debian 12, Ubuntu 22.04, Buildroot, and OpenHarmony 5.x.
