That’s because Void doesn’t push out the newest packages “as fast as possible”—instead, it puts a focus on stability. That means you won’t always find the newest versions of software right away. Instead, things lag a bit behind. And since Void is entirely community-driven, new packages don’t just land automatically—they need to be adapted and added by someone from the community first. That’s actually why COSMIC, the still-in-development desktop environment from System76, is only now showing up in Void’s repositories, despite being available for public testing for nearly a year. The included version is the latest available: COSMIC Desktop Alpha 7, released in late April.

Despite the slide, it’s still looking solid compared to this time last year when Linux sat at 2.08 per cent. A good chunk of that growth has been driven by the Steam Deck, which runs Valve’s SteamOS Holo and now accounts for roughly a third of Linux gamers.

The new model still features a Rockchip RK3566 SoC with up to 2GB RAM, an optional 32GB eMMC flash, a microSD card socket, a MIPI DSI display connector, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port, and a USB-C port for power and programming, as well as a 3-pin UART header accessible after opening the metal enclosure. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ I_Gotta_Print_More_Cowbell⠀⇛ Since the earliest days of affordable, home 3D printers, the technology behind them has been continuously improving. From lowering costs, improving print quality, increasing size and detail, and diversifying the types of materials, it’s possible to get just about anything from a 3D printer today with a minimum of cost. Some of the things that printers can do now might even be surprising, like this upgrade that makes [Startup Chuck]’s 3D printer capable of printing realistic-sounding cowbells out of plastic. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Pez_Blaster_Shoots_Candy_Dangerously_Fast⠀⇛ You could use a little pocket-sized Pez dispenser if you’re a humble, reserved person. Or, you could follow the example of [Backhaul Studios], and build a dangerously powerful blaster that shoots Pez fast enough to shatter them into pieces. Just don’t aim it at your own mouth. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Last_Chance:_2025_Hackaday_Supercon_Still_Wants_You!⠀⇛ Good news, procrastinators! Today was going to be the last day to throw your hat in the ring for a slot to talk at Supercon in November, but we’re extending the deadline one more week, until July 10th. We have an almost full schedule, but we’re still missing your talk. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ OpenMIDIStomper_Makes_Sure_Your_Gear_Does_What_Your_Foot Says⠀⇛ If you’re a solo musician, you probably have lots of gear you’d like to control, but you don’t have enough hands. You can enlist your feet, but your gear might not have foot-suitable interfaces as standard. For situations like these, [Nerd Musician] created the OpenMIDIStomper. * ⚓ Fairphone_Moments:_Switch_to_distraction-free_digital_minimalism⠀⇛ If you have been following the news around the latest Fairphone model, you would have heard a lot about Fairphone Moments. It’s what makes the new Fairphone (Gen. 6) our most mindful smartphone yet. It’s not just a focus mode, it’s a digital space just for you.

We observed that it did not behave quite as expected. In this article, we’ll look into the missing pieces. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ This_automatic_emergency_braking_system_protects_RC_cars⠀⇛ The Arduino constantly monitors the ultrasonic sensors. Under normal circumstances, they won’t report seeing anything — or at least not anything close by. But if something like a wall is nearby, the Arduino will immediately go into action and send a braking command (via a PWM signal) to the RC receiver. That’s a Flysky FS-i6X in this case, but the process should work with most others. * ⚓ Robotic Systems LLC ☛ Moteus_performance_analysis_tool⠀⇛ Recently I showed I was able to use the new dynamometer fixture I built to capture detailed thermal modeling parameters for motor controllers and motors. In this post, I’ll describe how I turned that into the initial version of a tool that lets you compare the performance of different moteus controllers (and some others), along with different motors, to help design an overall motion system. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 877 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/04/Our_small_team_vs_millions_of_bots.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/04/Our_small_team_vs_millions_of_bots.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Our small team vs millions of bots⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jul 04, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇DDOS⦈_ Quoting: Our small team vs millions of bots — The FSF SysOps team consists of two full-time tech team employees and a handful of dedicated volunteers. A large part of our work is running the software and physical servers that host websites and other services for GNU, FSF, and other free software projects, including virtual machines for the browser extension JShelter, the desktop environment and software collection KDE, and Sugar Labs, an organization that creates learning tools for children. We recently counted seventy different services, and have a dozen physical servers across two Boston-area data centers. Since we last wrote, much has happened, and while I'd love to talk about all of it, including the process of deploying four new servers to our data centers, I want to focus on the huge task of maintaining our services in the face of ongoing (and increasing) distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. A DDoS attack typically happens when attackers control thousands or millions of machines and get them all to send requests or other traffic to a target server. Then, the server gets overwhelmed with processing those requests and fails to respond to requests from legitimate users. A common way of defending against a DDoS attack, which we often use, is to figure out a way of identifying which IP addresses are sending requests as part of the DDoS, and then have the server ignore requests from those IP addresses.

This assembly code is a low-level representation of the program, using mnemonic instructions specific to the target processor architecture. The compiler then passes this assembly code to an assembler, which translates it into machine code—binary instructions that the processor can execute directly. * ⚓ Pedro Tavares ☛ Writing_Code_Was_Never_The_Bottleneck⠀⇛ The actual bottlenecks were, and still are, code reviews, knowledge transfer through mentoring and pairing, testing, debugging, and the human overhead of coordination and communication. All of this wrapped inside the labyrinth of tickets, planning meetings, and agile rituals.

shouldn’t let users enter OpenSSL cipher- suite strings by Frank Denis (via), which advocates for providing at most a high level interface to people that lets them express intentions like 'forward secrecy is required' or 'I have to comply with FIPS 140-3'. As a system administrator, I've certainly been guilty of not keeping OpenSSL cipher suite strings up to date, so I have a good deal of sympathies for the general view of trusting the clients and the libraries (and also possibly the servers). But at the same time, I think that this approach has some issues. In particular, if you're only going to set generic intents, you have to trust that the programs and libraries have good defaults. Unfortunately, historically time when system administrators have most reached for setting specific OpenSSL cipher suite strings was when something came up all of a sudden and they didn't trust the library or program defaults to be up to date. * ⚓ RoseHosting ☛ How_to_install_PrestaShop_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ PrestaShop is an open-source e-commerce platform that allows users to create and manage their online stores. * ⚓ Spoof_IP_Address_on_Kali_GNU/Linux_Using_Scapy_with_DoS_Testing⠀⇛ Learn to spoof IP address using Scapy on Kali GNU/Linux for DoS testing.

It seemed to be a full-featured Android spy app, to actually be its own service as opposed to a millionth FlexiSpy reseller, and to offer a 3-day free trial. Aside from a boilerplate disclaimer to only use it with consent, it also pretty brazenly advertised itself as stalkerware in the FAQ: [...] * ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Askbot_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Building a thriving online community requires the right question-and-answer platform, and Askbot stands out as one of the most powerful open-source forum solutions available today.

Most users even download and install curl from elsewhere and not directly from us. In order to get proper feedback and get a feel for what users think, asking questions like this is the only viable way. We run a curl user survey annually in an attempt to catch trends, views and long term changes in the project, its users, its surrounding and in how curl fits into the wider ecosystem. This year, the survey was up 14 days from May 19 to and including June 1. This was the 12th annual survey. The survey was announced on the curl-users and curl-library mailing lists (with reminders), numerous times on Daniel's Mastodon (@bagder@mastodon.social) on LinkedIn and on Daniel's blog (https://daniel.haxx.se/blog). The survey was also announced on the curl web site at the top of most pages on the site that made it hard to miss for visitors. * ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Vivaldi_Browser_7.5_Lands_with_Colored_Tab_Stacks⠀⇛ Vivaldi 7.5 has officially landed, as one of the browser’s most user-centered updates yet, with a sharp focus on visual organization, smoother interaction, and privacy enhancements. * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Vivaldi_7.5_Browser_Adds_Tab_Stack_Colours,_New_DNS Settings⠀⇛ Colourful tab stacks and concise tab context menu are the headline changes on offer the latest update to the Vivaldi web browser. * ⚓ James G ☛ Designing_calm_software_with_breaks_in_mind⠀⇛ Because one’s Artemis feed may update daily with new links, I have been thinking about what a piece of software designed with breaks in mind looks like. There are many reasons why someone may take a break from the software. The user may be on holiday; they may be studying; they may be going through a life happens moment; they may just want some time away from following the blogs. Whatever the reason, with this in mind I have to ask: what, if anything, can Artemis do to design with this behaviour in mind? ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1830 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/04/Who_Really_Built_Linux_The_Truth_Behind_the_Code.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/04/Who_Really_Built_Linux_The_Truth_Behind_the_Code.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Who Really Built Linux?
