While it’s essential to experiment and try different flavors, there are some glaring reasons I decided to switch from NixOS to Mint. With the official end of support for Windows 10 approaching, you may consider using Linux instead of upgrading to Windows 11 or purchasing a new PC. That’s a wonderful and doable switch. However, I dove deep into Linux, having been enticed to use NixOS by colleagues and users on Reddit. While Nix is a powerful operating system and has reasons to dive in, the steep learning curve (and other reasons) turned me off, and I went with Mint instead.

In many ways, it is similar to JSLint and JSHint with a few exceptions: ESLint uses Espree for JavaScript parsing. ESLint uses an AST to evaluate patterns in code. ESLint is completely pluggable, every single rule is a plugin and you can add more at runtime. It doesn’t matter if you’re writing JavaScript in the browser or on the server, with or without a framework, ESLint can help your code live its best life. This is free and open source software.

A question I get asked a fair bit is whether the Raspberry Pi 5 represents good value as a desktop PC. When considering value for money, we have to bear in mind use cases, performance and price (including ongoing costs). Let’s look at performance first. * ⚓ Tempo_-_metronome_for_musicians_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Tempo is a reliable metronome application designed for musicians of all levels.

Throughout 2025, we're celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the Free Software Foundation (FSF) with several initiatives from LibreLocal month in May to the in-person celebration in October to a free software hackathon in November. All these activities aim to bring the international free software community together, celebrate forty years of activism and all that we've achieved together, and discuss what we can do next to make the world freer. When we look back to 1985, we can see just how many stepping stones on the road to software freedom we've already laid together. We're eager to continue building the road ahead with you. Are you ready? * ⚓ TuMFatig ☛ GoToSocial_Adventures:_run_on_OpenBSD⠀⇛ I used to run GoToSocial on OpenBSD but, one day, the port was marked BROKEN and I switched to using Mastodon on Linux. Still, I kept testing running GoToSocial on NetBSD, Illumos, FreeBSD and Linux. Not so long ago, GoToSocial started to compile and work pretty nice again on OpenBSD. After using it for about a year on a SearXNG side project , I decided that I would also use it as my primary account on the Fediverse. This post is about installing and running GoToSocial on OpenBSD. * ⚓ Omar Polo ☛ gmid⠀⇛ gmid is a full-featured Gemini server written with security in mind. It can serve static files, has an optional FastCGI and proxying support and a rich configuration syntax. gmid also bundles a small gemini client called ‘gg’ (gemini get), a small command-line server for quick testing called ‘gemexp’ and a titan implementation. * ⚓ Libre Arts ☛ LibreArts_Weekly_recap_—_20_July_2025⠀⇛ Week highlights: new Blender, RapidRAW, Gradia, Sigil, and Hydrogen releases; new darktable UI prototypes. * ⚓ Top_Self-Hosted_Alternatives_to_Popular_SaaS_Apps⠀⇛ If you’ve ever wished you could stop paying monthly fees for the apps you rely on, or stop handing over your data to third- party services you don’t fully trust, you’re not alone. More users than ever before are turning to self-hosted apps to replace traditional SaaS tools like Surveillance Giant Google Workspace, Dropbox, Slack, and others. * § Events⠀➾ o ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Events:_Free_Software_Directory_meeting_on_IRC:_Friday, July_25,_starting_at_12:00_EDT_(16:00_UTC)⠀⇛ Join the FSF and friends on Friday, July 26 from 12:00 to 15:00 EDT (16:00 to 19:00 UTC) to help improve the Free Software Directory. * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ Andrew Stiefel ☛ Building_a_Personal_Monorepo_for_Writing⠀⇛ I also prefer to keep my content separate from the website’s design, and I wanted to do that without introducing a CMS or additional tooling. Static site generators like Jekyll are great at converting Markdown into websites, but they usually require you to store content alongside all the other website files. After some experimenting, I landed on a better solution: building a personal monorepo for my writing and publishing workflow. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ Jeff Geerling ☛ Open_Sauce_is_a_confoundingly_brilliant_Bay_Area event⠀⇛ He told me he's been watching videos on Proxmox and TrueNAS (among other homelab-friendly open source tools), with the goal building out a homelab to handle the 20 TB or so of RAW photos he took with the Nikon cameras on the ISS. NASA features many of Matthew's photos, but he told me he's also pushing for more sharing of the RAW image files and not just full-resolution JPEGs, since it would allow people to extract even more data from dramatic photos like those including both the dim stars beyond the Milky Way and the bright surface of the Earth, reflecting our much-closer Sun's light. o ⚓ Computer History ☛ Vintage_Computer_Festival⠀⇛ Come and explore an extraordinary showcase of historical computers, from pristine originals to ingenious modern hacks. Computer enthusiasts around the world look forward to the annual Vintage Computer Festival. Experience hands-on demos of historical systems from the 1960s through the 1990s, learn preservation tips, and try out brands like Apple, Atari, Commodore, Tandy/Radio Shack, and more. * § Programming/Development⠀➾ o ⚓ [Old] Bjarne Stroustrup ☛ Remember_the_Vasa! [PDF]⠀⇛ The foundation begun in C++11 is not yet complete, and C++17 did little to make our foundation more solid, regular, and complete. Instead, it added significant surface complexity and increased the number of features people need to learn. C++ could crumble under the weight of these – mostly not quite fully-baked – proposals. We should not spend most our time creating increasingly complicated facilities for experts, such as ourselves. We need a reasonably coherent language that can be used by “ordinary programmers” whose main concern is to ship great applications on time. We now have about 150 cooks; that’s not a good way to get a tasty and balanced meal. We are on the path to something that could destroy C++. We must get off that path! o § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ Philip Zucker ☛ Semi-Automated_Assembly_Verification_in Python_using_pypcode_Semantics⠀⇛ I’ve worked on binary verification tooling for a while. In our projects, we’ve often been working on just binary garbage thrown out of a compiler or being reverse engineered or butchered in some other way. A strange lesson is that it is pretty tough to even know what “good” or “correct” should mean in absence of higher levels of source. o § Java⠀➾ # ⚓ FreeBSD ☛ From_Minecraft_to_Markets:_Java_Hiding_in_Plain Sight⠀⇛ This brings us to the OpenJDK project. You may not see headlines about it every day, but behind the scenes, it’s the backbone of countless systems around the world. That’s why the FreeBSD Foundation has long supported the ongoing maintenance of OpenJDK on FreeBSD — and why this work is so important. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ SIDN ☛ Master’s_Thesis_Computing_Science:_Post-Quantum Cryptography_for_the_RPKI._Dirk_Doesburg._s1040211 [PDF]⠀⇛ We show that the RPKI with insecure cryptography can be abused for severe attacks that are even more effective than original BGP attacks. This highlights the importance of migrating to post-quantum cryptography. We also find that the communication between CAs is an attractive target for quantum attackers, and that the RPKI relies on several related protocols that must be secured as well. We then evaluate which post-quantum signatures can be a suitable replacement for RSA in the RPKI, primarily by proposing a method to estimate the performance impact of a given post-quantum scheme. A hybrid with Falcon-512 as post-quantum component emerges as a promising candidate, though alternatives can perform similarly. o ⚓ [Old] Akamai ☛ Anatomy_of_a_SYN-ACK_Attack⠀⇛ Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is a linchpin technology for modern computer networking. It is how (a large majority of the time) your computer often requests and receives information across a network and the internet. It comes complete with error-checking, retransmission of missing/corrupt data, and several other important features that quite literally make the internet as we know it reliable and functional. However, to understand how it is being abused, we must first understand how it functions. For the sake of brevity, we won't go into the full TCP/IP connection process in this post. We will only focus on the initial TCP three-way handshake process as that is all that is relevant to the subject of this write-up. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 804 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/23/Games_Space_Dingus_Splitgate_2_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/23/Games_Space_Dingus_Splitgate_2_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Space Dingus, Splitgate 2, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 23, 2025 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Space_Dingus_is_a_spiritual_sequel_to_Death_Road_to Canada⠀⇛ Death Road to Canada is a lot of fun and so I have great expectations for the next game from Rocketcat Games, which is a spiritual sequel named Space Dingus. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Splitgate_2_is_"going_back_to_beta"_with_the_original shutting_down_as_1047_Games_have_layoffs⠀⇛ 1047 Games have announced that Splitgate 2 is going to be reworked, and they're shutting down the original Splitgate. The developers have also announced that due to all this they've made the "incredibly difficult decision to reduce certain roles". * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Extreme_sports_game_Descenders_Next_has_released_into Early_Access⠀⇛ Descenders Next is a fresh extreme sports game from RageSquid / No More Robots and it shadow-dropped on Steam in Early Access. They must be crazy, with little to no build up, the game just sneakily arrived along with an update to the original Descenders to add in a racing mode. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Hellraiser_game_announced_with_Clive_Barker's Hellraiser:_Revival⠀⇛ The first proper Hellraiser game has just been revealed with Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival.

The distro hasn't been breached. Unfortunately, the attack is a consequence of how Arch's repositories are structured and maintained. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Jon Seager ☛ Crafting_Your_Software⠀⇛ Last month, I outlined Canonical’s plan to build debcraft as a next-generation way to build Debian packages.

Regarding visuals, the Midna theme has been completely overhauled, featuring a brand-new icon set, redesigned login and splash screens, an updated window decoration, and a modernized color scheme. However, what is more important is that KaOS has effectively transitioned to a Qt6-only default installation. While Qt5 remains temporarily available in the repositories for those who need legacy applications, KDE Frameworks based on Qt5 are no longer supported.

With the pro package active, you are technically good for the next ten years or so. Yes, I wrote about this, and what the implications of Kubuntu's three-year support actually means. With the packages coming from the Ubuntu archives, you really don't need to fret or overthink the patching and updates story, too much. The same applies to any browsers with their own repos. Why am I bringing this up? Well, the whole forced X11-Wayland story. It does bring some peace and quiet. But at least the KDE team is (trying to be) sensible about it, somewhat, and they are actually actively and clearly communicating their work, their goals, their mission. Can't complain about that. Also, since I'm not an ideology warrior of any kind, and no software is worth more than the weight of the actual functionality it provides, I also recently tested the brand new Plasma 6.4, and I went Wayland first, open mind and all that. Wasn't good, and I've got a bunch of benchmarks to share with you. Specifically, on this very box, plus some more. For serious use, hybrid graphics, I'm happy the things are the way they are in the 24.04 LTS. It's also nice to see the everyday improvements. Well, there you go. An unexpected positive spin, if you will, on all fronts. Now, MX Linux is speedier and more responsive, and init eats systemd for breakfast on this box, but there were just a few too rough edges in the desktop. As it is, Kubuntu seems to be slightly ahead in the game, especially when it comes to graphics management. But I may yet do another similar one-two swap test in the near future. Stay tuned.

Each test provides initial and final CPU states including registers and memory. Each test also includes cycle activity for each instruction, including the values of the address and data buses, bus controller signals, miscellaneous pin status, and processor T-state [individual cycle states]."

Disappointingly, the box was just an empty chassis and the circuit boards were all missing. He continued to poke around the warehouse when, to his surprise, he found a bag on the other side of the warehouse that contained the missing boards! After reuniting the box with its wayward circuit cards, he brought it to us: could we make this undocumented unit work? * ⚓ Celso Martinho ☛ Assembling_a_Retro_Chip_Tester_Pro_-_Celso_Martinho⠀⇛ I’ve been considering adding a chip tester to my lab for some time now, but I’ve never quite taken the plunge.

It is a good thing to read to understand the stack. But if your Arm system runs a 4K page size kernel, then most of that documentation can be skipped. You would not need muvm nor binfmt-dispatcher packages. * ⚓ Kali Linux ☛ The_Raspberry_Pi's_Wi-Fi_Glow-Up⠀⇛ Thanks to Nexmon and fresh Kali packages, onboard wireless is ready for monitor mode and injection (again!). Kali_GNU/Linux_users_on_Raspberry_Pi now have an improved and more integrated way to use the onboard Wi-Fi interface for wireless assessments. While the Nexmon project has long made this technically possible, our support in Kali has recently been refined. In Kali_2025.1, with the move to a newer Raspberry Pi kernel and a chance to revisit our packaging, we have cleaned up and formalized support for Nexmon through new packages. This not only improves the setup experience and adds support for more devices, including the Raspberry Pi 5, but also makes it easier to enable other hardware supported by Nexmon within Kali. * ⚓ David_Bremner:_Hibernate_on_the_pocket_reform_9/n⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1625 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/23/Open_source_projects_reject_AI_code_over_copyright_concerns.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/23/Open_source_projects_reject_AI_code_over_copyright_concerns.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open source projects reject AI code over copyright concerns⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 23, 2025 Sasha Levin is a Linux kernel contributor.

One of the highlights is significantly improved latency handling in the echo cancellation feature. As a result, users should notice clearer audio calls and recordings, especially in scenarios where delays previously impacted the overall experience. The development team has addressed a persistent issue by correctly setting latency values in the echo-cancel module, ensuring smoother audio flow and reducing any annoying delays. * ⚓ PipeWire_1.2.8_Bugfix_Update_Brings_Better_ALSA_and_Pulse_Handling⠀⇛ PipeWire, a multimedia framework for handling audio and video on Linux systems, has just released version 1.2.8, an update that builds on its previous 1.2.x and 1.0.x releases, introducing a collection of bug fixes and performance enhancements. First up, this update addresses some lingering issues users might’ve encountered previously, such as clearing old buffer data when the pulse-server jumps forward—something that could help smooth out audio playback considerably. It also patches up a pesky file descriptor leak related to SyncObj, which should improve overall stability. Another practical fix includes handling zero-length impulse responses in the convolver module. Additionally, the ALSA resampler handling has received some much-needed attention, now performing better when responding to changes in audio streams. The adaptive resampler, too, has seen performance improvements, making for a noticeably smoother audio experience. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠉⠻⣿⠟⠋⠉⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠉⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠉⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠰⣿⣷⠀⢹⠀⣾⣿⠆⢸⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣷⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⠀⣾⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⡏⠀⣾⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠈⠀⣴⣿⣦⣀⣁⠀⠀⠙⢿⣷⣄⠈⠁⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⠀⠁⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠈⠁⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠏⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠁⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⡿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠿⠛⠁⠀⢀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⡿⠟⠋⠀⠀⣀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠘⠁⠀⢀⣠⣶⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⣀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⠀⢀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣻⣟⣿⢿⢩⣩⡟⠜⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⢀⣤⣄⠈⢻⣿⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠟⠛⠿⠛⠛⠇⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠟⠛⠛⢿⡿⣿⣏⣾⣼⣿⣿⡿⠽⠿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠈⠛⠋⢀⣾⣿⠀⢠⣤⡄⠀⠀⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⢼⠯⣿⣧⣵⠿⢷⣿⣷⣤⣼⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣷⣶⣀⣰⣶⣿⣶⣶⣮⣶⣶⣵⣶⣦⣶⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⢶⣩⣖⡯⡉⣽⠂⠪⠉⠍⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1750 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/23/Programming_Leftovers.1.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/23/Programming_Leftovers.1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 23, 2025 * ⚓ Pete_Zaitcev:_Floating_Point⠀⇛ I'm unemployed right now and I go to job interviews once in a while.

It’s a small desktop computer powered by Intel’s latest Core Ultra 7 hardware and Kubuntu Linux. This PC is an updated version of the company’s Focus NX computer, which somewhat resembles an Apple Mac Mini or ASUS NUC PC. It’s a compact desktop measuring 4.6 x 4.4 x 15 inches (117 x 112 x 37 mm), with a metal body, plastic top, and the same heat sink design as Intel’s Cyber Canyon NUC computers. The main upgrade here is the processor, which is now available in two options: an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H or an Intel Core Ultra 5 225H. Both CPUs are 15th-generation models with a 40W TDP, but the Ultra 7 has more cores/threads, better integrated graphics, and slightly faster clock speeds. Kubuntu Focus also uses dual-channel RAM for the best possible performance.

It is a regrettable step backwards that takes everything bad about CSS and modern web development and brings it all together in one library. * ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Set_Up_Local_Repositories_with_apt-mirror_in_Ubuntu⠀⇛ Wouldn’t it be nice if you could download all the required packages just once and let all your systems install them locally from your own repository? that’s exactly what apt- mirror helps you do. * ⚓ The BSD Cafe Journal ☛ A_Self-hosted,_BSD-native_Gemini_Protocol_Server Stack⠀⇛ For those who are adventurous enough to explore the non-http corners of the Internet, the Gemini protocol is a delightful experience to use. It has been around a number of years, making the biggest bang around the time when discontent with the web’s general demise started to reach current heights (so maybe around 2022). My “capsule”, Vigilia, is self-hosted, and has been since its inception. It used to run on a disused Macbook Pro running Fedora Server, under our TV at home, but since then I have become much more confident in using OpenBSD. It used to run on a little Python CGI script I wrote, which also started to feel too bloated and complex, with too many bells and whistles that I frankly had no need for. It was time to make a change, so I replaced the old Macbook with a Raspberry Pi, and Fedora with OpenBSD, and then took my time to figure out a new “status quo”. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Plotly_on_AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ Data visualization has become the cornerstone of modern decision-making processes across industries. Interactive charts and graphs transform raw numbers into compelling visual narratives that drive business insights and scientific discoveries. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Spicetify_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ Spotify has become the go-to music streaming platform for millions of users worldwide.

Enter Spicetify – a powerful, open-source customization tool that transforms your Spotify experience into something truly unique and personalized. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_NTP_on_Rocky_GNU/Linux_10⠀⇛ Accurate timekeeping forms the backbone of modern server infrastructure. System administrators who overlook proper time synchronization often face cascading issues that affect logging accuracy, security certificates, scheduled tasks, and distributed system coordination. Rocky GNU/ Linux 10 provides robust time synchronization capabilities through its default implementation. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Caddy_on_Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ Caddy stands as one of the most innovative and user- friendly web servers available today. This modern HTTP/ 2 web server revolutionizes web hosting with its automatic HTTPS capabilities, zero-configuration approach, and elegant simplicity that appeals to both beginners and seasoned system administrators. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Plotly_on_openSUSE⠀⇛ Plotly stands as one of the most powerful interactive visualization libraries available for Python developers and data scientists.

There are layers upon layers of knowledge to master, but no clear roadmap, especially when it comes to debugging drivers or navigating userspace-kernel issues. * § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ o ⚓ Peter_Czanik:_Dealing_with_multiple_syslog_protocols_in_syslog-ng made_easy⠀⇛ There are multiple syslog protocols with multiple variants. The new transport(auto) option of the syslog() source allows you to support all TCP-based variants with a single source driver. o ⚓ Peter 'CzP' Czanik ☛ Dealing_with_multiple_syslog_protocols_in syslog-ng_made_easy⠀⇛ When it comes to syslog, there are many transport options. RFC3164 describes the “legacy” or “BSD” syslog protocol, while RFC5424 refers to the “new” syslog protocol (which is also more than a decade old now… :- ) ). RFC5424-formatted messages normally come with framing or octet counting (as per RFC6587), where messages are prefixed with the length of the message. And just to increase confusion even more, some software use RFC5424 message formatting, but without octet counting. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Akademy_2026_Call_for_Hosts⠀⇛ One of the biggest things you can do for KDE (that does not involve coding) is helping us organize Akademy. In 2026, we are organizing a special edition of Akademy to celebrate KDE's 30th birthday. We want to make this occasion memorable by celebrating this important milestone with Akademy. The birthday edition of Akademy will not only bring together contributors, users, and partners but will also reflect on three decades of community, collaboration, innovation, and Free Software. Now is your chance to become KDE champions and help make Akademy 2026 happen! We are looking to host Akademy 2026 during June, July, August, September, or October. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ I_Found_a_New_Open_Source_Grammar_Checker_Tool_And_I Like_it..._Well..._Kind_of⠀⇛ Sometime simple is better. This new open source grammar checker is what we need in this age of data collection and AI. o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Firefox_Developer_Experience:_Firefox_WebDriver Newsletter_141⠀⇛ WebDriver is a remote control interface that enables introspection and control of user agents. As such it can help developers to verify that their websites are working and performing well with all major browsers. The protocol is standardized by theW3C and consists of two separate specifications: WebDriver_classic (HTTP) and the newWebDriver BiDi (Bi-Directional). o § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ # ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ PGDay_Napoli_2025,_Schedule_and_Registration⠀⇛ We're pleased to announce that we published the schedule of the PGDay Napoli taking place in Naples, Italy, on September 25, 2025.

You're reading This_Tool_Upgrades_Everything_on_Ubuntu Using_One_Command, a blog post from OMG!_Ubuntu. Do not reproduce elsewhere without permission. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Evan Hahn ☛ Notes_from_"Where_Wizards_Stay_Up_Late:_The Origins_of_the_Internet"⠀⇛ Last month, I read Empire of AI, a scathing tale of the invention of ChatGPT. This month, I read Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins of the Internet, a much rosier story of the invention of a more important technology: the [Internet]. Authors Katie Hafner and Matthew Lyon cover the history starting in the 1960s all the way up to 1994, just two years before the book was published.1 Here are my notes. o § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ # § Open Access/Content⠀➾ # ⚓ Ruboss Technology Corp ☛ Architectural…_by_Denys Poltorak_[Leanpub_PDF/iPad/Kindle]⠀⇛ A structured collection of architectural patterns with hundreds of NoUML diagrams. Technology-agnostic knowledge distilled from a multitude of sources. Deconstruction of software architecture into its basic principles. o § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ # ⚓ Jono Alderson ☛ Why_Semantic_HTML_Still_Matters⠀⇛ And that shift comes at a cost – in performance, accessibility, resilience, and how machines (and people) interpret your content. I’ve written elsewhere about how JavaScript is killing the web. But one of the most fixable, overlooked parts of that story is semantic HTML. This piece is about what we’ve lost – and why it still matters. # ⚓ Artyom Bologov ☛ Plaintext_Email_Formatting⠀⇛ Plaintext emails. This artifact of the times long gone, right? Not necessarily—plaintext emails are actively used in e.g. FOSS software mailing lists. And, if one’s into this type of communication, they’ll inevitably notice this: Plaintext email formatting. Asterisks, signatures, hyphenated lists. Being a standard freak that I am, I wondered: are these spec-ed anywhere? No, not really. The only reasonable resource on plaintext email formatting I was able to find was this Ed Mullen’s post regarding Thunderbird/Mozilla Structured Text. And even that lists mere four formatting directives. So I bit the bullet and decided I must list all the formatting conventions. With the support for these in all email clients I can get my hands on. # ⚓ Arduino ☛ Dive_into_satellite_IoT_with_the_new_Arduino- compatible_Iridium_Certus_9704_Development_Kit⠀⇛ IoT (Internet of Things) devices can be very useful, but they do, by definition, require internet access. That’s easy enough when Wi-Fi® is available, and it is even possible to rely on LoRa® and cellular data connections to transmit data outside of urban areas. However, deploying an IoT device to a truly remote location has been difficult and expensive in the past. Now, that’s changing thanks to the new 9704 Development Kit, created by Iridium to make satellite-based IoT accessible. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 3082 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 29 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
