Ubuntus⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jul 19, 2025 Quoting: Backup tool Rescuezilla resurrects itself across six Ubuntus — Rescuezilla 2.6.1 has introduced a new version based on the latest interim Ubuntu release, while also updating its existing builds on older versions. The latest release of Rescuezilla adds a new release based on Ubuntu 25.04 "Plucky Puffin." We carefully say "adds" because the new image based on Ubuntu 25.04 is in addition to five other new builds, based on version 2.6.1 of the tools but using Bionic (18.04), Focal (20.04), Jammy (22.04), Noble (24.04), and Oracular (24.10). In other words, as well as the previous interim release, it also offers versions based on all the Ubuntu LTS editions that are still in standard support. The timing of this is slightly unexpected, as last October's interim release, Ubuntu 24.10, last week reached its end of life and is now officially an ex-Oriole. It has passed on. It is no more. It has ceased to be. Bereft of life, it has gone to meet... well, Mark Shuttleworth, presumably.

Those Entities can be both in 2d and 3d. CAD Sketcher isn’t strictly limited to but mainly focuses on 2d entities. In order to group a set of 2d entities we use Sketches. The final position and dimensions of a drawn shape is defined by Constraints. In order to have entities follow the defined constraints, a Solver is needed. To further process the resulting geometry CAD Sketcher uses Converters to get native Blender geometry types which then allow further modifications with native tools. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Alternatives_to_Autodesk_FBX_Review_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ FBX Review is a lightweight, standalone software tool for viewing 3D assets and baked animations quickly and efficiently.

A very secure and easy way (YaST2) of doing this is via user space tools, as we described multiple times (like here, here, or here). This solution is based on the systemd tool-set like systemd-cryptenroll, systemd-pcrlock and systemd-cryptsetup, among other, orchestrated by the in-house sdbootutil script. One of the main advantages of using this systemd approach is the possibility of integrating multiple authentication methods. Together with the traditional password, asked at boot time during the initrd stage, we can now unlock the system using a certificate, a TPM2, or a FIDO2 key. We can mix some of them creating multiple LUKS2 key slots, and use, for example, a TPM2 to unlock the device in a unattended fashion and a FIDO2 key as a recovery mechanism. Honestly, the TPM2, and the TPM2+PIN variation, are the most relevant ones for the user. As described in the other posts, the TPM2 is a (some times virtual) device that can attest the health of our system using a mechanism known as measured boot.

While ServiceNow ITSM includes some out-of-the-box automation capabilities, unlike Red_Hat_Ansible_Automation_Platform, it doesn't automate or orchestrate other IT systems.  * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Telco_autonomous_networks_choosing_the_right_cloud and_framework⠀⇛ An autonomous intelligent network is a fully automated, zero- touch deployment and operations infrastructure consisting of compute, storage and networking for information and communication technology (ICT) services that is self- configuring, self-healing, self-optimizing and self-evolving. An autonomous intelligent network has to embed hyperautomation where everything is automated, with data analytics and AI models providing deep learning for advanced decision making and autonomy and governance, providing privacy and use policies to enforce compliant deployment and operational decisions and actions. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Making_AI_accessible_to_all:_our_collaboration_with Teens_in_AI [Ed: Red Hat is morbidly obsessed with pushing buzzwords, hype, even scams to people]⠀⇛ At Red Hat, we believe collaboration is key to closing this gap. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Teens in AI, a global initiative empowering young people aged 12-18 to explore AI through hackathons, mentorship and real-world problem-solving. Together, we’re helping shape the next generation of AI leaders, equipping them with open source tools, AI principles and the confidence to innovate. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 546 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/19/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/19/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 19, 2025 * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ FOSS_Weekly_#25.29:_End_of_Ubuntu_24.10,_AUR_Issue, Terminal_Tips,_Screenshot_Editing_and_More_GNU/Linux_Stuff⠀⇛ Europe keeps on marching...towards open source. * § Events⠀➾ o ⚓ Qubes_OS_Summit_2025:_Tickets_for_sale_and_Call_for_Participation open!⠀⇛ You can now purchase on-site tickets to attend Qubes_OS Summit_2025 in person!

Expect a community day trip midweek. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ ProtoWeb:_Browsing_The_Information_Superhighway_Like It’s_1995⠀⇛ Feeling nostalgic? Weren’t around in the 90s but wonder what it was like? ProtoWeb has you covered! Over on his YouTube channel [RetroTech Chris] shows you how to browse the web like it’s 1995. o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Firefox_Catches_Up_to_Chrome_With_the_Addition of_This_Feature_But_Leaves_Linux_Out_(for_now) [Ed: Mozilla neglecting the only OS that pre-bundles Firefox]⠀⇛ It's been quite some time since Firefox has been playing catchup with Chrome in terms of features and performance. Recent updates have pushed AI integrations that not many like, while core improvements have often been overlooked. Things are improving, but it will take some time and many sane decisions before Firefox regains its lost market share and reputation. Luckily, a recent move by them sees them adding a key feature that brings Firefox closer to Chrome in terms of performance and capabilities. * § Programming/Development⠀➾ o ⚓ Jon_Chiappetta:_Generating_colorful_iOS_backgrounds_in_less_than 50_lines_of_JS_and_some_basic_photo_editing_skillz⠀⇛ o ⚓ LWN ☛ Forgejo_12.0_released⠀⇛ Version 12.0 of the Forgejo software forge has been released. Changes include a number of user-interface improvements, a mechanism to keep forks in sync with their upstream, and more; see the release notes for the full list. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 676 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/19/Gadgets_Open_Source_Hardware_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/19/Gadgets_Open_Source_Hardware_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Gadgets, Open Source/Hardware, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 19, 2025 * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_25.10_Shrinks_its_Raspberry_Pi_Install Footprint⠀⇛ Ubuntu 25.10 uses a minimal default install on Raspberry Pi, reducing install size. See what's changed and why the move makes sense for developers. You're reading Ubuntu_25.10_Shrinks_its_Raspberry_Pi Install_Footprint, a blog post from OMG!_Ubuntu. Do not reproduce elsewhere without permission. o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ $14_development_board_features_GUITION_ESP32-P4_+ ESP32-C6_module⠀⇛ While searching Aliexpress for new products, I found out about the JC-ESP32P4-M3-DEV from the Maker Go AliExpress store, another ESP32-P4 development board with features very similar to the  ESP32-P4-Function-EV-Board or the Wireless Tag WT99P4C5-S1 board, but built around the GUITION JC-ESP32P4-M3-C6 module, which combines ESP32-P4 and ESP32-C6 into a single package instead of having separate chips or modules on most other designs. Features include 32MB of PSRAM and 16MB of flash on the GUITION module, a microSD card slot for storage, a built-in microphone, speaker output via the ES8311 audio codec, and an audio amplifier. The board also offers a 10/ 100Mbps Ethernet RJ45 port, an RS-485 terminal block, a GPIO header, and expansion connectors for both the ESP32- P4 and ESP32-C6 chips. Additionally, there are three USB ports: two USB-C and one USB-A for power, data, and debugging, along with a few buttons and LEDs. o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ cExpress-R8_COM_Express_Type_6_Compact_module features_up_to_Ryzen_Embedded_8845HS_SoC,_supports_up_to_96GB DDR5⠀⇛ ADLINK cExpress-R8 is a COM Express Type 6 Compact CPU module powered by a choice of AMD Ryzen Embedded 8000 SoCs, up to the 8-core Ryzen Embedded 8845HS SKU with up to 39 TOPS of Hey Hi (AI) performance, support for up to 96GB of DDR5 (ECC or non-ECC) memory, and optional NVMe SSD BGA storage. The module also features an defective chip maker Intel i226 2.5GbE controller, a SEMA board controller, and a debug connector, and exposes all I/Os through two standard 220-pin COM Express board-to-board connectors with four SATA III, up to 16x PCIe Gen4 lanes, DDI, LVDS, and/or eDP interface for up to four displays, and more. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ 2025_One-Hertz_Challenge:_HP_Logic_Probe_Brought_Into The_Future⠀⇛ [Robert Morrison] had an ancient HP 545A logic probe, which was great for debugging SMT projects. The only problem was that being 45 years old, it wasn’t quite up to scratch when it came to debugging today’s faster circuitry. Thus, he hacked it to do better, and entered it in our 2025 One Hertz Challenge to boot! o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ 2025_One-Hertz_Challenge:_ZX_Spectrum_Is_Now_A_Z80 Frequency_Counter⠀⇛ The ZX Spectrum is perhaps most fondly remembered as a home computer and a games machine. [Tito] has grabbed the faithful black plastic box and turned it into a frequency counter as an innovative entry to our 2025 One Hertz Challenge. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Time,_Stars,_And_Tides,_All_On_Your_Wrist⠀⇛ When asked ‘what makes you tick?’ the engineers at Vacheron Constantin sure know what to answer – and fast, too. Less than a year after last year’s horological kettlebell, the 960g Berkley Grand Complication, a new invention had to be worked out. And so, they delivered. Vacheron Constantin’s Solaria Ultra Grand Complication is more than just the world’s most complicated wristwatch. It’s a fine bit of precision engineering, packed with 41 complications, 13 pending patents, and a real-time star tracker the size of a 2-Euro coin. o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Rockchip_unveils_RK3668_10-core_Arm_Cortex-A730/ Cortex-A530_SoC_with_16_TOPS_NPU,_RK182X_LLM/VLM_co-processor⠀⇛ The Rockchip Developer Conference 2025 (RKDC!2025) is now taking place in Fuzhou, China, with some interesting announcements such as the Rockchip RK3668 10-core Arm Cortex-A730/A530 processor with a 16 TOPS NPU and the RK182X RISC-V co-processor with support for up to 7B parameters LLM (large Language Model)or VLM (Vision Language Model). Rochchip RK3668 10-core Armv9 SoC Let’s have a look at the Rockchip RK3668 SoC, which looks quite similar to the RK3688 SoC unveiled last year, but with some differences. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Unlocking_The_Potential_Of_A_No-Name_Handheld_Game⠀⇛ The rise of inexpensive yet relatively powerful electronics has enabled a huge array of computing options that would have been unheard of even two decades ago. A handheld gaming PC with hours of battery life, for example, would have been impossible or extremely expensive until recently. But this revolution has also enabled a swath of inexpensive but low-quality knockoff consoles, often running unlicensed games, that might not even reach the low bar of quality set by their sellers. [Jorisclayton] was able to modify one of these to live up to its original promises. * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux_Terminal_Finally_Hits_Galaxy_Z_Flip_7,_Fold_7_Doesn’t_Make the_Cut⠀⇛ If you’re a power user, here’s another reason to consider the Galaxy Z Flip 7. As it turns out, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the first non-Pixel phone to support the Linux Terminal app. This app lets you run a full Debian Linux environment inside a virtual machine on your Android device. That gives you access to developer tools that smartphones miss out on. § Galaxy Z Flip 7 finally gets Linux Terminal app The Linux Terminal app uses the Android Virtualization Framework (AVF), which came with Android 13. Although AVF has been around for a while, the Terminal app itself only appeared with Android 15. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Make_games_with_Python,_2nd_edition_—_out_now!⠀⇛ Millions of us enjoy nothing more than spending hours racking up high scores on our favourite video games. But too few engage in an even more gratifying way to spend time — making them! The latest book from Raspberry Pi Press is the second edition of Sean M. Tracey’s Make games with Python, and we hope it inspires you to create games of your own. * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Hackaday_Podcast_Episode_329:_AI_Surgery,_A_Prison Camp_Lathe,_And_A_One_Hertz_Four-Fer⠀⇛ Join Hackaday Editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi as they talk about their favorite hacks and stories from the previous week. They’ll start things off with a small Supercon update, and go right into fusion reactors, AI surgeons, planned obsolescence, and robotic cats and dogs. They’ll also go over several entries from the ongoing 2025 One Hertz Challenge, an ambitious flight simulator restoration project, old school lightning detectors, and how Blu-ray won the battle against HD DVD but lost the war against streaming. Stick around to the end to hear an incredible story about a clandestine machine shop in a WWII prisoner of war camp, and the valiant fight to restore communications with the Lunar Trailblazer spacecraft. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 885 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/19/Games_Brickadia_Noobs_Are_Coming_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/19/Games_Brickadia_Noobs_Are_Coming_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Brickadia, Noobs Are Coming, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 19, 2025 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Next-generation_brick_building_sandbox_Brickadia_is_out with_Linux_/_Steam_Deck_support⠀⇛ Roblox?

Out in Early Access, it's a next-generation mixture of LEGO styled block building, a little of Garry's Mod too perhaps and Roblox style mini-games. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Kaizen:_A_Factory_Story_is_a_great_return_from_the Zachtronics_team⠀⇛ Reformed under the new studio Coincidence, the team from Zachtronics have now released Kaizen: A Factory Story with Linux / SteamOS support. It's also rated Steam Deck Playable by Valve. Note: key provided by their PR team. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ If_you_love_Brotato_you_should_check_out_Noobs_Are Coming⠀⇛ Noobs Are Coming is a new release that takes the skin of Brotato and puts you in the shoes of a final boss, complete with really weird abilities.

Atlantis is an upcoming turn-based strategy game that looks like you're playing a board game with a clever 2.5D style. The developer recently announced full Native Linux and Steam Deck support. There's a demo available right now too which they keep updating for you to get an early taste of what's to come. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ City-building_on_the_back_of_a_giant_creature,_The Wandering_Village_1.0_is_out_now⠀⇛ The Wandering Village from Stray Fawn Studio is a really unique city-builder that takes place on the back of a giant moving creature. It has Native Linux support and is Steam Deck Verified / SteamOS Compatible. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Old_School_Rally_gets_hit_with_a_DMCA_and_taken_down from_Steam⠀⇛ Showing just how tough game dev can be for smaller teams and solo devs, Old School Rally has been hit with a DMCA and the Steam store page is gone. This is hopefully only a temporary situation, while the developer of the game works through the issue. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 982 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/19/Games_Steam_and_Lossless_Scaling.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/19/Games_Steam_and_Lossless_Scaling.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Steam and Lossless Scaling⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 19, 2025 * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Steam_gaming_finally_comes_to_RISC-V_—_AAA_titles_like The_Witcher_3_and_Crysis_now_playable_thanks_to_revamped_emulation_tool⠀⇛ Linux developers have managed to get Steam games running on RISC-V-powered platforms using a refined x86 emulator. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ New_Steam_Games_with_Native_GNU/Linux_Clients, including_Noobs_Are_Coming_and_Dog_Walk_-_2025-07-16_Edition⠀⇛ Between 2025-07-09 and 2025-07-16 there were 77 New Steam games released with Native GNU/Linux clients. For reference, during the same time, there were 691 games released for backdoored Windows on Steam, so the GNU/Linux versions represent about 11.1 % of total released titles. That’s a LOT of games! Much more than released in the past few weeks. The indie scene has woken up for the summer and there’s quite a lot of good titles to consider as well. I’d like to highlight Noobs Are Coming which takes the concept of the horde game (as la Vampire Survivor) but puts you in the role of the Final Boss! And there’s the great new Free title, Dog Walk, from Blender Studio, that is a great little game to showcase how can you combine Blender assets and Godot to make something very well crafted. Worth a look for the technology aspect alone! * ⚓ XDA ☛ Lossless_Scaling_is_my_holdout_Windows_app,_and_it's_already great_on_Linux⠀⇛ Short of a couple of games, there's one app that's made the switch to Linux difficult — Lossless Scaling. It's actually an app I need more on Linux than I do on Windows, as both AMD and Nvidia don't offer their driver-level frame generation features on Linux. Officially, Lossless Scaling only works on Windows. However, one developer, with some help from the Lossless Scaling devs, is working on an open-source project to bring Lossless Scaling's excellent frame generation to Linux. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1041 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/19/GNU_Linux_and_Hardware_Projects.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/19/GNU_Linux_and_Hardware_Projects.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux and Hardware Projects⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 19, 2025 * § Graphics Stack⠀➾ o ⚓ Xlibre_and_Wayback:_Two_Linux_Projects_Clash_Over_X.org’s Legacy⠀⇛ The Linux ecosystem is once again in the spotlight, with a fork of the good old X.org taking center stage. The new project, called Xlibre, was launched by German developer Enrico Weigelt, who was already involved in the X server controversy. According to him, Red Hat is deliberately delaying X.org development in favor of Wayland, which, Weigelt claims, led to Xlibre being excluded from the Fedora distribution. However, it’s not this that’s surprising, but the fact that someone seriously suggested including it in Fedora. In response, one of the core developers of Alpine Linux decided to accelerate the release of an alternative solution called Wayback. This server uses the composite approach of Wayland, but also allows traditional X11 desktops to run via XWayland without having to resort to a full-fledged X server. Developer Ariadna Conneal wrote a blog post about how Wayback works with Window Maker, a NeXT-style window manager, and explained that the project was born in response to the politicized nature of Xlibre. * § Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ I_Tried_Homebrew_on_Linux._Here's_How_It_Went⠀⇛ As a long-time Linux user, I've tried many different package managers. When I heard about Homebrew, I was curious to get my hands on it. Not having a macOS device, I had to resist that urge. Until I learned that Homebrew supports Linux, too. For those unfamiliar, Homebrew is a popular package manager written in the Ruby programming language that makes installing software from the command line incredibly easy. On macOS, it’s a go-to tool for casual users and developers who want to quickly grab everything from programming languages to open-source utilities without digging through installer files or App Store clutter. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Desktop_update_icon_now_updates_devx_sfs⠀⇛ The desktop "update" icon will download the latest EasyOS and update to the latest 'vmlinuz', 'initrd' and 'easy.sfs' file. It will download a .delta difference- file, which is a small download, instead of having to download the entire .img drive-image file ...which is now over 1GB. What has been left out of the picture is the devx .sfs file. If you have, for example, run the new "devx" container, it will have downloade the devx__amd64.sfs file, and loaded that as a layer in the devx container. That is about 500MB download, also rather big. So, now the devx sfs is included in the update mechanism, and there are .delta files online. The main update script is /ust/local/easy_version/easy- update, and there is now also 'easy-update-devx', that the former calls. It will only do so if detects that you already have a downloaded devx sfs, otherwise won't bother you, as many users are not interested in a devx sfs.    o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ ADTmag ☛ Red_Hat_Launches_No-Cost_Enterprise_Linux_Offering for_Business_Developers⠀⇛ Red Hat has introduced a new version of its flagship Linux operating system aimed at business developers, offering free access for enterprise development and testing purposes. According to the company, the move is designed to streamline software development and reduce infrastructure friction in hybrid cloud environments. The new offering, Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Business Developers, is available through the company's developer program. It allows registered users to self-serve up to 25 instances of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) at no cost, targeting business development teams that want to build and test applications on the same platform used in production. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ CamThink_NeoEyes_NE101_–_A_low-power, modular_ESP32-S3_Vision_Hey_Hi_(AI)_Camera_with_optional_4G LTE_and_WiFi_HaLow_connectivity⠀⇛ CamThink NeoEyes NE101 is a battery-powered, low- power Vision Hey Hi (AI) Camera powered by an ESP32-S3 wireless module, featuring event-triggered image capture, and suitable for real-time vision control. By default, the camera supports WiFi 4 and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, and ships with a 5MP OV5640 camera module with an LED flash. However, the ESP32-S3 camera has a modular design, and it is offered with 4G LTE Cat 1 or WiFi HaLow connectivity, supports replaceable lenses, optional housing, and custom mounting options. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ 2025_One_Hertz_Challenge:_Building_A_Better Jumping_Bean⠀⇛ Do you feel nostalgia for a childhood novelty toy that had potential but ultimately fell short of its promise?

It’s no pi-clone SBC, but [MWLabs]’s smartphone– a OnePlus 6, to be precise. The video embedded below, and the git link above, are [MWLabs]’s walk-through for loading the mobile version of Nix onto the cell phone, turning it into a tiny-screened Linux computer. He’s using the same flake on the phone as on his desktop, which means he gets all the same applications set up in the same way– talk about convergence. That’s an advantage to Nix in this application, compared to the usual Alpine-based PostMarketOS. Of course some of the phone-like features of this pocket-computer are lacking: the SIM is detected, and he can text, but 4G is nonfunctional. The rear camera is also not there yet, but given that Mobile-NixOS builds on the work done by well-established PostMarketOS, and PostMarketOS’ testing version can run the camera, it’s only a matter of time before support comes downstream. Depending what you need a tiny Linux device for, the camera functionality may or may not be of particular interest. If you’re like us, the idea of a mobile device running Nix might just intrigue you, Smartphones can be powerful SBC alternatives, after all. You can even turn them into SBCs. As long as you don’t need a lot of GPIO, like for a server,a phone in hand might be worth two birds in the raspberry bush.

There were many cool and nice things. The speed, the customization. The rich repertoire of programs, the useful helper utilities. The Nvidia driver setup was quite all right, but the missing PRIME commands make me fret and wonder. On top of that, there were lots of niggles and bugs in the system. The stubborn Bluetooth, the menu favorites. What makes these issues doubly worse is that Plasma is Plasma, but as I've shown you many many times before, there's often little consistency among distros, whether different editions of the same underlying platform, or different implementations of the same desktop environment. This is long-term worrying. And so now, I must do another experiment. Restore the Kubuntu installation on this box. But now, I'll be starting with the LTS .2 release, which should contains numerous fixes and improvements. In particular, I want to re-focus on performance, Nvidia support and how one can go about using non-repo software. Anyway, back to MX Linux, the results are solid, but not perfect. I think it will take a little while longer before MX Linux becomes ubiquitously good for everyday use on any which hardware. On that note, take care.

When it comes to logging, this is particularly telling: Control A.12.4.2 simply states that “logging information and logging facilities shall be protected against tampering and unauthorized access.” Period. How? That’s your problem to solve. But anyone who’s ever had to investigate a security incident knows the harsh reality: logs are only as trustworthy as their protection against post-incident tampering. An attacker who gains root access isn’t going to politely leave their tracks in the log files – unless they physically can’t alter them anymore. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1474 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/19/Open_Hardware_Modding_Raspberry_Pi_Luckfox_Lyra_Pi_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/19/Open_Hardware_Modding_Raspberry_Pi_Luckfox_Lyra_Pi_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: Raspberry Pi, Luckfox Lyra Pi, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 19, 2025 * ⚓ Matt Webb ☛ Back_from_Shenzhen,_China,_where_I’m_manufacturing_Poem/1_ (Interconnected)⠀⇛ I made a prototype, it went viral and ended up in the New York Times.

Midterms are this week for GSoC, which means I’m halfway through GSoC. It’s been an incredible experience so far, and I know it’s going to continue to be great. § API vs. ABI What is the difference between an application programming interface versus an application binary interface? In the beginning, this question tripped me out and confused me, because I wasn’t familiar with ABIs. Understanding what an ABI is has helped me decide which libraries I should consider using in the codegen phase. When talking about Vala, Vala is designed to use a C Hey Hi (AI) First, let’s understand what an API and ABI are separately and then compare them. § API Personally, I think the understanding of Hey Hi (AI) is more popular and well-known than ABIs. An API is usually, at a high level, defined by two software components or computers communicating with each other using a set of definitions and protocols. This definition I always thought was pretty vague and expansive. When dealing with code-level APIs, I like to understand it as Hey Hi (AI) are existing entities in the user code (source code) that have functions, constants, structures, etc. You can think of it as when you write code, you access libraries through an Hey Hi (AI) For example, when you write print('hello world') in Python, print() is a part of Python’s standard library API. * ⚓ KDAB ☛ API_Stability:_To_change_or_not_to_change?⠀⇛ This blog examines balancing API stability and flexibility. Internal Hey Hi (AI) should remain adaptable for ongoing improvements, while external Hey Hi (AI) need stability through versioning (e.g., SemVer) and source compatibility guarantees to avoid breaking clients. It also covers ABI stability for libraries and suggests using a buffer layer to isolate internal changes from public interfaces. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Organizing_R_development_using_srcpkgs⠀⇛ Overview This is an introduction on organizing R projects using source packages (powered by my R package srcpkgs). It is based on notes for a talk I have on 2024-05-27 for the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics Vital-IT group Analysts meeting. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Tagging_Bioconductor_packages_with_EDAM⠀⇛ The EDAM ontology is used to provide conceptual organization of resources in major initiatives like ELIXIR bio.tools and Galaxy.

You have Windows 11, macOS, and Linux (or, more accurately, Linux-based operating systems). Most people wouldn't ever think there's anything beyond that, especially because so many operating systems are based on Linux, whether it's Ubuntu, NixOS, or even Android. But that would be an incorrect assumption. In fact, there have been a few operating systems throughout the years that are built completely from scratch or based on different projects altogether that have nothing to do with Linux, and some of them are actually usable. For the most part, at least. So let's take a look at a few operating systems you can take for a spin if you want to try something really unique. * § Graphics Stack⠀➾ o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Finally_deshrouding_my_3070_graphics_card⠀⇛ Picture the scene. What was supposed to be Wawasan_2020 for our Malaysian friends turned into a bad year for everyone. Wow Ruben, way to start a post. With so many people stuck at home, and with blockchain pyrite shovelling at an all time high, supplies for graphics cards shrank as fast as their prices rose. Into this world of scalpers and opportunists came this weird guy called Ruben, and his desire to wittle away downtime hours stuck at home on something fun. When an Australian online retailer briefly restocked their supply of cards, he pounced on whatever he could get his hands on. The result was the Zotac Twin Edge 3070 OC, a name longer than the card itself: I have so many conflicting feelings about this card. For one, it was a spectacular upgrade over my GTX 960, and the Radeon Pro 5600M in my last defective chip maker Intel MacBook Pro. Shaders in Minecraft looked sublime, giving my favourite modern(ish) game a completely different dimension. Other simulation and open-world games also popped, and it could even max out the framerate on my 60Hz 4K display, despite it being targeted more at the 1440p segment. But it wasn’t all raytraced sunshine and roses. This Zotac card was designed to be small, and with that came steep thermal compromises. The heatsink was two-thirds the size of competing cards; it was wrapped in a thick plastic shroud which didn’t help airflow; and it only included two fans instead of the usual three. Worse, one of the fans was only 9 cm in diameter, and both fans sported meagre blades barely a centimetre tall. When you don’t have a large thermal mass or wide fans, you have to push more air faster to achieve the same level of heat dissipation. This resulted in the single loudest piece of consumer electronics I’ve ever owned since my late Power Mac G5 from 2003. From the start, it would fire up its tinny, shrill fans to full speed at the drop of a hat; so much so that I would intentionally set quality settings to 3060 territory to avoid hearing them. This worked, but only added to my frustration that I overpaid for this 3070. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Bisco ☛ Birger_Schacht:_My_first_tag2upload_upload⠀⇛ Following the DebConf25 talk by Ian Jackson tag2upload_-_upload_simply_by_pushing_a_signed_git tag I decided to use the quiet time during the day of the DayTrip on DebConf 25 to try out uploading a package using tag2upload. # ⚓ Salih_Emin:_uCareSystem_v25.07.17:_Stability_and Integration_in_the_best_system_maintenance_tool_for_Debian_& Ubuntu [Ed: Seems like it might be LLM slop with slop images]⠀⇛ I am thrilled to announce a landmark new release of uCareSystem! Which you know it is THE best system maintenance tool Debian Ubuntu. This isn’t just an incremental update; it’s a significant evolution of the tool, focusing on deep infrastructure improvements, professional-grade Debian packaging, and a smoother, more reliable user experience. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ # ⚓ Seth Godin ☛ On_reading_the_Terms_of_Service⠀⇛ Every time you use any service online, you’re entering into some sort of contract. And setting expectations is essential, but too often, the MBAs adopt a nickel and dimes approach, figuring that the system gives them no choice. If everyone else is racing to the bottom, they should too. One printing service I’ve used asks how many pages your book is when giving a price. Inevitably, after they get the doc they raise the price, pointing out that the file is two pages longer than was quoted. I finally figured out that they were counting the inside front cover and inside back cover as ‘pages’. No one does that in the real world, but it helps them, the accountants figure, offer a lower price to get the order, then they can boost it later. This is deception as a business model. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2472 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/19/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/19/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 19, 2025 * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ Nico Cartron ☛ One_of_my_blog_articles_featured_on_the_BSD_Now podcast_episode!⠀⇛ My latest article about an OpenBSD upgrade that didn't go well was feature in the latest BSD Now podcast episode! * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ 'The_biggest_speedup_I've_seen_so_far'_—_FFmpeg devs_boast_of_another_100x_leap_thanks_to_handwritten_assembly code⠀⇛ The developers behind the FFmpeg project are again claiming major performance uplifts delivered by wielding the art of handwritten assembly code.

DELFI is the entity providing the aggregated national public transport static and realtime schedule data for Germany, which is important input for Transitous. Extent and quality of that data have room for improvement, so having many members of the community there to lobby for changes helps. And while there’s certainly awareness and willingness among the people doing the work, the complex processes and structures with many different public and private stakeholders don’t exactly yield great agility. For the Transitous Hack Weekend Wikimedia Deutschland had kindly allowed us to use their WikiBär venue. Special thanks also to Jannis, Theo and Felix for cooking for the entire group during the weekend, which not only kept us all well fed but also made the event particularly efficient and allowed us to cover a wide range of topics in the short time, as you can see below.

With the latest Twilight 1.15t update (think of the Twilight builds as alpha versions) to the Zen Browser, the developers have added a number of bug fixes, features, and under-the-hood changes to make the browser smoother, look better, and feel more intuitive. One of the more annoying bugs that was squashed resulted in the browser disabling Compact Mode whenever a browsing session was restored, but the other additions are somewhat more impactful.
