Do you wonder if you're getting the most out of your KDE Plasma setup? Well, here are five game-changing features that completely transformed how I use and interact with my PC! By default, KDE Plasma can feel like another desktop environment (DE) trying to nail the Windows look and feel, but it's so much more than that! Plasma offers unique features that can fundamentally reshape how you think about desktop computing, turning routine tasks into effortless interactions. These aren't just a different way of doing things, but rather a better way as they eliminate entire categories of friction and open up more efficient workflows. Here I've shortlisted my top five favorite KDE Plasma features, how they've changed my approach to desktop computing, and why I can't go back!

This app is essentially an application firewall that tracks network requests from apps, so you can create rules to block or allow those requests. [...] What you'll need: I'm going to demonstrate this on Ubuntu Linux 24.04. OpenSnitch can also be installed on Fedora-based distributions, and you'll only need to modify the installation commands. So, you'll need a running instance of an Ubuntu-based distribution and a user with sudo privileges. That's it. Let's make it happen. * ⚓ Announcing_Istio_1.26.3⠀⇛ This release contains bug fixes to improve robustness.

It’s a logical deduction style puzzle, similar to Suduko. Your goal is to find out the correct location of tiles in the puzzle grid, using deductions derived from the provided clues. The game board is shown above as the 6×6 grid, with each cell containing six candidate tiles. The letter “O” appears bigger because it is selected; the O’s are dimmed in the other cells because they’ve been eliminated as possibilities from other cells. The right side of the screen contains horizontal clues, and the bottom of the screen contains vertical clues. A tool-tip displays on clue mouse hover, explaining the clue. * ⚓ KitchenOwl_-_self-hosted_grocery_list_and_recipe_manager_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ KitchenOwl is a smart self-hosted grocery list and recipe manager. Easily add items to your shopping list before you go shopping. You can also create recipes and get suggestions on what you want to cook. Track your expenses so you know how much you’ve spent. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Yomikiru_-_offline_manga,_manhwa,_comic,_and_novel_reader_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Yomikiru is a feature-rich desktop application designed for reading locally stored manga, comics, webtoons, and EPUB novels. Built with Electron and React, it offers a customizable and distraction-free reading experience. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Pylint_-_static_code_analyser_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Pylint is a static code analyser for Python 2 or 3. The latest version supports Python 3.10.0 and above. Pylint analyses your code without actually running it. It checks for errors, enforces a coding standard, looks for code smells, and can make suggestions about how the code could be refactored. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ BrosTrend_AX3000_WiFi_Range_Extender_&_Wi-Fi_to_Gigabit_Ethernet Adapter_Review_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ When I’m connecting devices together, I prefer a wired ethernet connection. An ethernet connection offers faster, more consistent speeds, together with lower latency which is important for gaming. This is mainly because the signal is sent directly rather than broadcasted. This direct approach has fewer variables that can impact signal strength, like interference from other electronics such as neighbouring routers. However, Wi-Fi excels in areas ethernet falls short. There’s no wire clutter, and you can connect anywhere in your home. Almost all modern devices can connect to Wi-Fi from desktops to smartphones to single board computers. And with a decent router you can have many devices connected and streaming simultaneously.

This was my seventh time attending Euro Python, my seventh time presenting, and my second time volunteering. Which means that I’m now in the “in” crowd — I know many people, I’m familiar with how the conference works, and I (sadly) have too little time to speak with the people I know. But I remember all too well attending my first conferences, and feeling very different: I didn’t know anyone, wasn’t sure who to talk to (or about what, or where, or how), and generally felt a bit “out.” And even after I did meet people, it took me a while to figure out what I should spend time over the 3-4 days of a conference. So, in no particular order, here are some thoughts about making the most out of a Python conference. o ⚓ [Repeat] Ish Sookun ☛ openSUSE_Conference_2025⠀⇛ The openSUSE Conference (oSC) is the annual global gathering of the openSUSE community, organized by the openSUSE Project. It brings together developers, contributors, system administrators, Linux users, open- source advocates, and technology enthusiasts from around the world. * § Funding⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux Magazine ☛ EU_Sovereign_Tech_Fund_Gains_Traction⠀⇛ OpenForum Europe recently released a report regarding a sovereign tech fund with backing from several significant entities. * § GNU Projects⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ GNU_C_Library_2.42_released⠀⇛ Version 2.42 of the GNU C Library has been released. Changes include the addition of a number of new math functions, support for arbitrary baud rates in the termios.h interface, support for SFrame-based stack tracing (described in this article), support for memory guard pages, and a handful of security fixes. * § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ o § Open Data⠀➾ # ⚓ Windy Community ☛ Windy⠀⇛ I am an addicted kiter, helicopter, and jet pilot who seeks the wind, waves, METARs, and powder snow almost constantly. Since programming is my passion, I coded Windyty.com in 2014 as my pet project. The original version was highly inspired by the products from the Swiss company Meteoblue and another project called "Earth", which displayed animated wind particles on the globe. I have completely rewritten the open source codes of Earth and also made an agreement with Meteoblue to use some of their products at that time. And thus Windyty was born (renamed Windy a few years later). My goal is to keep Windy small and fast to be accessible in the most remote locations. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ AVIF:_The_Avian_Image_Format⠀⇛ Humans have long admired the sound of birdsong, but to fully appreciate how technically amazing it is, you need an ultrasonic microphone. [Benn Jordan] recently created a video about using these microphones to analyze a collection of bird calls, even training a starling to repeat an image encoded in sound, and has some recommendations for amateurs wanting to get started in computational ornithology. o ⚓ The New Stack ☛ Mythbusting_IPv6:_Why_Adoption_Lags_and_What_Will Change_It⠀⇛ IPv6 was developed in the late 1990s as a successor to IPv4 to address the [Internet]’s rapid growth and prevent IPv4 address exhaustion. The original vision was that, after a period of dual-stack operation, IPv4 would be phased out. Over 25 years later, full-scale depletion of IPv4 addresses is imminent, yet IPv6 adoption remains slow — currently only about 30% worldwide, with the same proportion of Alexa Top 1,000 websites reachable via IPv6. The timeline for a full transition remains uncertain. o ⚓ Hans-Kristian Arntzen ☛ I_designed_my_own_ridiculously_fast_game streaming_video_codec_–_PyroWave⠀⇛ Streaming gameplay from one machine to another over a network is a reasonably popular use case these days. These use cases demand very, very low latency. Every millisecond counts here.

The incoming data can then be processed by software like readsb which decodes the messages. o ⚓ Collabora ☛ PanVK_now_supports_Vulkan_1.4⠀⇛ PanVK has reached another milestone and will be officially supporting Vulkan 1.4 on V10!

In short, there is cautious optimism: we embrace AI, but it does not take over any critical tasks from humans. But what does this mean for syslog- ng? * ⚓ Peter_Czanik:_Syslog-ng_development_and_AI⠀⇛ Well, it means that syslog-ng code is still written by humans.

If you’re not used to a Linux shell, this can seem like a task that is bound to be manual and time-consuming. But there are many ways to speed up the process; you just need to know which is best. § Example File Move Tasks To demonstrate each approach, I’ll use two examples that represent common renaming tasks you may want to carry out. There are many different ways you might want to rename files, depending on their current names and what you’re actually doing. The two example tasks I’ll use can help to illustrate typical usage of each tool. However, you’ll need to investigate the tool of your choice further to understand how best to use it for your particular needs. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Your_Linux_PC_Has_Daemons._Here’s_Everything_You_Need_to Know_About_Them⠀⇛ You may have heard the term "daemon" concerning Linux. What are they? Are they something to be scared of? These little helper programs are an important part of Linux and will help take care of your systems and run essential services. In Linux, daemons are programs that run independently to perform various tasks on the system. These are things like running cron to execute tasks at specific times, listening for incoming network connections, and cleaning up the filesystem, among others. They typically have names ending in "-d." The concept arose in the 1960s with the MULTICS project, an ambitious attempt to create what would now be called "cloud computing." MIT computer scientist Fernando Carbató is credited with coining the term in a computing context, taking inspiration from the physicist James Clark Maxwell's thought experiment about an imaginary demon sorting molecules, known as "Maxwell's demon." * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ What’s_That_You’re_Running?_Linux_Programs,_Scripts, Builtins,_Functions,_and_Aliases⠀⇛ What happens when you run a Linux command? This simple act can appear straightforward, but many different things can actually occur, depending on whether you’re running an executable program, a shell script, a shell builtin, a user-defined function, or an alias. § The Different Types of Linux Commands A program (binary, or executable) is a file on disk somewhere, in a recognized format. Common formats include ELF on Linux, and Mach-O on Mac. The format is a low-level, machine-friendly one that the shell can pass off to the kernel to run. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ All_Linux_Distro_Are_Not_the_Same._Here's_Why_and_How_They Differ⠀⇛ Have you heard people say that "all Linux is the same?" Are you unsure how two Linux distributions that share a software base can be different? Let me explain what's going on, and why developers have made so many distros. There's a popular notion that all Linux distributions are essentially the same, and that you can start with one distro and potentially customize it enough to work and feel like a different distro. While theoretically that is possible, practically it would require weeks of technical troubleshooting—and even then you might fail! Now why would you put yourself through this trouble when somebody else has probably done the work for you and is offering it for free—as a new distro? As such, from a practical standpoint, all distros are not the same. Here's how they differ from one another and why these differences matter. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1175 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/30/Jack_Wallen_on_Distributions_and_Operating_Systems.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/30/Jack_Wallen_on_Distributions_and_Operating_Systems.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Jack Wallen on Distributions and Operating Systems⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 30, 2025 * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ This_Arch-based_Linux_distro_has_a_clean,_privacy-focused experience_for_tinkerers⠀⇛ Got a spare computer laying around? Liya Linux is a take on Arch Linux you should definitely install and try. Arch Linux has a reputation for being too complicated, unstable, and not for everyone. For those reasons, several distributions have emerged that attempt to bring Arch to the masses. Many of them (such as Manjaro and EndeavorOS) succeed quite well. However, not all of those forks of Arch are created equal. Take, for example, Liya Linux. This distribution was created and maintained by an individual to be an Arch-based Linux distribution that's simple to install but still caters to users of all types (from those new to Linux to those who've been around the open-source block a few hundred times). Liya Linux is built for developers, students, and tinkerers. Is Liya Linux a distribution for those who've never used Linux? That's debatable, as Arch Linux isn't exactly a distribution for the masses. However, Liya Linux does use the Calamares installer, so installing this operating system is as easy as it gets. * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ I'm_a_Linux_pro_-_here_are_my_top_5_command_line_backup_tools for_desktops_and_servers⠀⇛ I use Linux for both desktop and server. My preference for a server OS is one without a GUI, which means I have to turn to a lot of command-line tools. In some cases, I prefer to use the same command-line tools for both desktop and server, because it simplifies everything. After all, I don't want to have to learn two different tools for the same job. On top of that, the command-line tools I've included in this list are very powerful and flexible enough to meet all of my needs. With a command-line backup tool, I can enjoy automated backups using either built-in features or cron, which makes them even more flexible. Plus, command-line tools tend to use fewer resources than their GUI counterparts. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1240 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/30/LibreOffice_Latest.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/30/LibreOffice_Latest.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ LibreOffice Latest⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 30, 2025 * ⚓ Document Foundation ☛ LibreOffice_25.8_RC2_is_available_for_testing⠀⇛ LibreOffice 25.8 will be released as final on August, 20, 2025 (check the Release Plan).

Cybersecurity firm Darktrace discovered the attack during an incident response in April 2025, where an investigation revealed that the Auto-Color malware had evolved to include additional advanced evasion tactics. Darktrace reports that the attack started on April 25, but active exploitation occurred two days later, delivering an ELF (Linux executable) file onto the targeted machine. The Auto-Color malware was first documented by Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 researchers in February 2025, who highlighted its evasive nature and difficulty in eradicating once it has established a foothold on a machine. The backdoor adjusts its behavior based on the user privilege level it runs from, and uses 'ld.so.preload' for stealthy persistence via shared object injection. * ⚓ Auto-Color_Backdoor:_How_Darktrace_Thwarted_a_Stealthy_Linux_Intrusion [Ed: They try to blame "Linux" for proprietary software that has nothing to do with Linux]⠀⇛ * ⚓ Trend Micro ☛ Gunra_Ransomware_Group_Unveils_Efficient_Linux_Variant [Ed: Presenting a Windows issue as "Linux"]⠀⇛ This blog explores the technical details, implications, and what we know so far about the newly discovered Gunra ransomware Linux variant.

Initially launched by Cisco in March of this year, the agentic AI project, dubbed Agntcy, will now be governed by the open source organization, with the networking giant joining hyperscalers Google Cloud and Oracle as formative members, alongside Red Hat and Dell Technologies. The directory aims to be the de facto listing of AI agents, AI models that perform tasks autonomously, processing data and continuously adapting based on those results. Nascent or not, agents are already being employed en masse. In an interview with SDxCentral, Vijoy Pandey, general manager and senior vice president of Outshift by Cisco, pointed out that with numerous agents out there already for various fields, “the world of eight billion people will feel more like 80 billion from a bandwidth perspective.” * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ Want_AI_agents_to_work_together?_The_Linux_Foundation_has_a plan [Ed: LF-sponsored_SPAM_by_SJVN]⠀⇛ Cisco has donated its AGNTCY, a foundation for an interoperable 'Internet of Agents' to enable disparate AI agents to communicate and collaborate seamlessly.

A while back, Qualcomm and Microsoft decided to challenge the status quo with the Snapdragon Elite X chips and Windows-on-Arm, respectively, in a bid to create a new category of portable machines with battery life far exceeding previous generation systems. Snapdragon X laptops currently have a relatively small market share, but they're gaining at a decent clip with quarterly figures rising. Not everyone is a fan of Windows, though. With that in mind, the folks at Linaro and Tuxedo Computers have joined forces to create a laptop that's running a full ARM64 Linux distribution out of the box, with all the hardware working and as little user friction as possible. At a recent convention, the companies proudly displayed their prototype Snapdragon Elite X laptop with a bespoke build of Linux running native ARM64 software. * ⚓ Situation Publishing ☛ Xinnor_claims_massive_RAID_rebuild_speedup_over Linux_mdraid⠀⇛ Software RAID supplier Xinnor claims it can rebuild a 61.44 TB SSD in a little more than five hours, around 10x faster than traditional Linux RAID rebuild software. Xinnor’s xiRAID product distributes data across a cluster of drives. There are spare zones on each drive and data from a failed drive is restored to these zones, thereby reducing overall rebuild time. Solidigm is an SK hynix subsidiary and supplies high-capacity SSDs, such as its D5-P5336 61.44 TB product built with QLC (4bits/cell) flash. A study produced by Xinnor and Solidigm, titled “Accelerating RAID Rebuild and Reducing Write Amplification on High Density Solidigm QLC Drives with xiRAID,” shows that xiRAID can rebuild a failed drive in 5 hours, 22 minutes without any host workload, compared to 53 hours, 40 minutes with mdraid (Linux software RAID). * § Linux Foundation⠀➾ o ⚓ Network World ☛ AI_will_drive_more_workforce_expansion_for_tech pros_than_reduction,_Linux_Foundation_reports [Ed: Paid-for_spam piggybacking_the_brand_"Linux"]⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1494 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/30/Open_Hardware_Modding_Raspberry_Pi_SparkFun_Arduino_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/30/Open_Hardware_Modding_Raspberry_Pi_SparkFun_Arduino_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: Raspberry Pi, SparkFun, Arduino, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 30, 2025 * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ How_to_rapidly_design_and_adapt_quality_learning experiences_for_your_students⠀⇛ Discover how to rapidly design quality, inclusive learning experiences using the ABC learning design framework. * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ RP2350_A4,_RP2354,_and_a_new_Hacking_Challenge⠀⇛ Like any silicon device, RP2350 wasn’t perfect on day one. The launch stepping, designated A2, is affected by a number of errata, including an error in the GPIO pad design which prevents pads from properly going into a high-impedance state (Erratum 9), and a number of security issues identified by participants in our RP2350 Hacking Challenge. Today, we’re happy to announce the immediate availability of a new A4 stepping, which addresses the vast majority of these issues. * ⚓ Carl Svensson ☛ More_retrocomputing,_less_nostalgia⠀⇛ In retrocomputing circles, there's a lot of talk about nostalgia. While I'm sure an old computer is perfectly capable of triggering real nostalgia for some people in some settings, the word is more often used to describe any activity related to old computers - not just reminiscing. I'd argue that among retro enthusiasts, real nostalgia is no more common than among others, and that reminiscing - much like in other subcultures - is at most a secondary activity. * ⚓ Bunnie Huang ☛ Name_that_Ware,_July_2025⠀⇛ Thanks to FETguy and Renew Computers in San Rafael, California for contributing this ware! * ⚓ Bunnie Huang ☛ Winner,_Name_that_Ware_June_2025⠀⇛ * ⚓ Arduino ☛ Could_these_VR_haptic_gloves_replace_human_touch?⠀⇛ That comes in the form of a pair of long gloves that extend up the wearer’s forearms, almost to their elbows. Each glove has 26 vibrotactile actuators (eccentric rotating mass motors) across its surface and an Arduino UNO R4 WiFi board controls those according to commands sent by a computer hosting a Unity 3D VR environment, rendered through Meta Quest VR headsets. The Arduino controls the vibrotactile actuators through PWM (pulse- width modulation) shields, so it can vary the intensity of the feedback to match the VR interaction. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Raspberry_Pi_RP2350_A4_stepping_fixes_E9_GPIO_Erratum, glitching_bugs,_introduces_2MB_flash_variants⠀⇛ The Raspberry Pi RP2350 dual-core Arm/RISC-V has gotten a new version – A4 stepping – addressing bugs and security vulnerabilities, notably the infamous E9 GPIO erratum and glitching bugs in the A2 stepping identified by the 2024 Hacking Challenge. * ⚓ Olimex ☛ We_can_now_offer_version_of_SMT32MP157_boards_with_Secure_Boot and_AES256⠀⇛ Secure Boot (or Security Boot) for the STM32MP157F is a security mechanism that ensures the microcontroller only executes authorized and cryptographically signed software during boot. This prevents the execution of malicious code or unauthorized firmware modifications. * ⚓ SparkFun Electronics ☛ Taking_a_Closer_Look_at_the_VEML7700_Qwiic Ambient_Light_Sensor⠀⇛ The SparkFun Qwiic VEML7700 Ambient Light Sensor provides accurate, 16-bit ambient light readings from 0 to 167,000 lux via the I2C interface. This miniature sensor (6.8mm x 3.0mm x 2.5mm) features a high-sensitivity photodiode, a low-noise amplifier, and a 16-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. Its unshifted 7-bit I2C address is 0x10. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Raspberry_Pi_RP2350_A4_update_fixes_old_bugs_and dares_you_to_break_it_again⠀⇛ The Raspberry Pi team has released an update to the RP2350 microcontroller with bug fixes, hardening, and a GPIO tweak that will delight retro hardware enthusiasts. The A4 stepping brings several improvements, including remedies for the glitches identified in the company's 2024 hacking challenge (though a spokesperson was quick to note they all required physical access to the hardware), as well as the documented GPIO pull-up issue that required affected customers to use some extra circuitry and resistors. Chris Boross, senior sales exec at Raspberry Pi, told us that with the new stepping, the team wanted to deal with the issue and render the additional circuitry unnecessary. "It's a drop- in replacement," he said. "This is something that we always wanted to take care of." * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_built_a_Steam_Machine_out_of_spare_PC_parts_and_you_can,_too⠀⇛ Whether you have an aging gaming PC, a laptop that can barely run Windows anymore, or, like me, you've upgraded your PC but still have old components from your previous build, it may still have a purpose. If you have old PC hardware lying around or an aging Windows laptop, you can breathe new life into it by turning it into your own Steam Machine with SteamOS. You can turn almost any PC into a homemade Steam machine, and you don't need an expensive graphics card or the latest CPU to do it. I did this in just a few hours, and the results were far better than I expected. * ⚓ XDA ☛ This_one_free_app_lets_me_play_all_of_my_non-Steam_games_on_Steam Deck⠀⇛ Whether you're new to Steam Deck or still thinking about buying one, you might be wondering if you can play non-Steam games on the Steam Deck or SteamOS. You can, and one free app is the key. It's not pre-installed on the Steam Deck, but installing and setting it up takes only a few minutes. Here's how I installed the Heroic Games launcher on SteamOS to play games from Epic Games, GOG, and Amazon Gaming. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1659 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/30/PCLinuxOS_Magazine_s_Latest.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/30/PCLinuxOS_Magazine_s_Latest.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ PCLinuxOS Magazine's Latest⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 30, 2025 * ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ From_The_Chief_Editor's_Desk...⠀⇛ In late June, 2025, YouCanToo/The CrankyZombie experienced a fire at his place of residence. Inside his residence were the servers that ran all of the “services” that PCLinuxOS users came to rely on. That included the forum, PCLOS-Mail, PCLOS- Talk, PCLOS-Cloud, this magazine’s website, and the PCLinuxOS Knowledgebase Wiki. Even though his residence experienced significant smoke and water damage from the fire, YCT/TCZ found that the backups he had made of the magazine, wiki, and cloud site were intact. That meant that it was only a matter of finding a new webhost for these sites. Texstar had already started a new forum. He is still figuring out a format for the main PCLinuxOS page. We found a new webhost, and with the help of YCT/TCZ, we managed to move the domain to the new webhost fairly quickly (same address … https://pclosmag.com). YCT/TCZ, TerryN, and I worked tirelessly to find a new webhost for the PCLinuxOS Knowledgebase Wiki (note the new URL). * ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ PCLinuxOS_Screenshot_Showcase⠀⇛ * § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ o ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ Inkscape_Tutorial:_The_New_LPE_Tool⠀⇛ As you know, I look at YouTube to see if anything new has popped up about Inkscape and GIMP. I came across this one from Logos by Nick, and it was something I didn’t know about. It’s the new LPE Tool (LPE standing for Live Path Effects). We’ve done a lot with path effects, but this new tool is a shortcut to some of the experimental tools. If you don’t have the experimental tools enabled, you’ll have to do that. Enable the experimental tools by clicking Preferences > Behavior > Live Path Effects (LPE) and check the box that says “Show experimental effects”. Close the Preferences window and restart Inkscape. o ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ Install_Easy_Flatpak_Manager_On_PCLinuxOS⠀⇛ I know. The holy “mantra” for PCLinuxOS users has been, for as long as I can remember, “don’t install programs from outside the repository.” There are multiple reasons for these age-old words of wisdom. First, there’s the whole issue of what is non- affectionately called “dependency hell.” If you don’t have the proper version of a library installed, the program isn’t going to run. Attempting to install a missing library will likely result in another two or three “missing pieces,” and attempting to install those missing pieces may cause you to discover that you are missing even more pieces to the pieces. Before you know it, your system is trashed. Second, installing programs from untrusted sources (say you found some source code, and you want to compile it) can make you vulnerable to unscrupulous actors who want to steal your personal, private information … or who wants to inflict harm on the end user. o ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ How_To_Install_The_Typst.vim_Plugin⠀⇛ This brief tutorial explains how to install a Vim plugin for Typst (typst.vim) which was created by developer kaarmu (Kaj Munhoz Arfvidsson). If you are familiar with Vim, this will give you an alternative to using the VSCodium (or VS Code) editor with your local Typst installation. Although this setup is more like working with a traditional LaTeX editor—in the sense that it does not provide a live preview—it offers a writing environment with fewer distractions. Some users might find that appealing. Plugins extend Vim's core functionality. As a user with limited Vim experience, the mechanics of installing a plugin were confusing to me at first. Fortunately, I found two helpful videos by Jay LaCroix and Eric Murphy which cover the basics of configuring Vim and installing plugins. I recommend that you begin by watching these tutorials, as they will make it easier to follow the instructions. o ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ Wiki_Pick:_Cron_Jobs⠀⇛ Cron is a time-based job scheduler in Unix-like computer operating systems. The name cron comes from the word “chronos”, Greek for “time”. Cron enables users to schedule jobs to run periodically at certain times or dates. It is commonly used to automate system maintenance or administration, though its general-purpose nature means that it can be used for other purposes, such as backing up important data. o ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ Tip_Top_Tips:_Disable_Firefox's_Integrated AI_Chatbot [Ed: Mozilla is now run by cranks and charlatans serving plutocrats; it's a rogue company heading to the grave]⠀⇛ Did you know that Firefox now has an integrated AI chatbot? No? Well, me neither. And I’m one of the most devout Firefox users on the planet. So, how do you feel about Firefox having an integrated AI chatbot? I don’t know about you, but I think there’s too much “focus” on AI. It’s still in its infancy, it still gets a LOT of things wrong, and if it doesn’t know the answer, it’s prone to making up its own facts and passing them off as reality. Plus, there are next to no “guardrails” in place for the current iteration of AI. With AI growing so quickly in its abilities, I can’t imagine any legislation addressing the concerns of AI run amok. AI is simply growing at a rate too quickly for legislation to install adequate safeguards. It won’t be able to “keep up” with AI’s advances. And no, Mozilla, I don’t want or need an integrated AI chatbot in Firefox. * § Security⠀➾ o ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ ICYMI:_Decade_Old_Vulnerability_Found_In Sudo⠀⇛ A new mobile crypto-stealing malware called SparkKitty was found in apps on Google Play and the Apple App Store, targeting Android and iOS devices, according to an article from Bleeping Computer. The malware is a possible evolution of SparkCat, which Kaspersky discovered in January. SparkCat used optical character recognition (OCR) to steal cryptocurrency wallet recovery phrases from images saved on infected devices. When installing crypto wallets, the installation process tells users to write down the wallet's recovery phrase and store it in a secure, offline location. Access to this seed phrase can be used to restore a crypto wallet and its stored assets on another device, making them a valuable target for threat actors. While taking a screenshot of your seed phrase is never a good idea, some people do so for convenience. A report by Kaspersky says that the new SparkKitty malware indiscriminately steals all images from an infected device's photo gallery. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1844 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/30/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/30/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 30, 2025, updated Jul 30, 2025 * ⚓ Whenhen ☛ No_more_Erlang_manuals⠀⇛ I wrote a script called erl-man that takes one arg (the OTP module name).

Since Perl can handle pipes, this seems set up for success: all we need is a text adventure interpreter that has a dumb terminal mode, where it uses plain stdin/ stdout for interaction. The community has informed me that there are a couple of popular alternatives for this: one is called dumbfrotz, and the other is using Bocfel with the cheapglk implementation. These are used by game authors and compiler writers in automated test suites. Just before I heard of those, I had come across fweep, which warns that it “does not require any special terminal mode or similar, therefore many features are unavailable.” * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Another_thing_V7_Unix_gave_us_is environment_variables⠀⇛ Simon Tatham recently wondered "Why is PATH called PATH?".

Sanctions and trade wars continue to disrupt global business operations. As reported, a coalition of nearly 100 organisations has urged European Commission leaders to establish a dedicated fund for building technological independence. In a joint letter addressed to President Ursula von der Leyen and Digital Commissioner Henna Virkkunen, the group advocated for strategic investments in homegrown infrastructure to reduce reliance on non-European tech giants. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Implement_zero-touch_provisioning_for_OpenShift_with_GitOps⠀⇛ Automation and standardization are fundamental for any company. Zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) is one of the key solutions for deploying Red_Hat_OpenShift on bare metal. In this article, we analyze how ZTP revolutionizes the deployment and provisioning of OpenShift clusters, with particular attention to integration with Red_Hat_OpenShift_Virtualization. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ From_raw_data_to_model_serving_with_OpenShift_AI⠀⇛ Are you looking for a practical, reproducible way to take a machine learning (ML) project from raw data all the way to a deployed, production-ready model?

Session VMs are rootless, but they do not provide ingress network connectivity. If you need to access network services inside your VMs, an easy solution is to configure a libvirt virtual network, backed by a GNU/Linux kernel bridge. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Boost_Jenkins_pipelines_with_Red_Bait_Advanced_Developer Suite⠀⇛ Jenkins has powered countless CI/CD pipelines for more than a decade, but that popularity comes at a cost: the more your teams automate, the harder it gets to keep every job file, plug-in, and artifact secure and up to date. Builds grow, pipelines sprawl, and before long you’re maintaining your DevOps toolset as much as you’re building software. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_reduce_costs_with_OpenShift_on_Graviton_AWS⠀⇛ Cost optimization remains a paramount concern for enterprises deploying containerized workloads. While x86-based instances have long been the standard, a significant opportunity for cost savings has emerged for customers running Red_Hat_OpenShift on Amazon Web Services (AWS). By migrating applications to Arm- based instances powered by proprietary trap AWS Graviton processors, organizations can unlock substantial benefits including lower compute costs and better energy efficiency, paving the way for a more economical and sustainable cloud footprint. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Automating_configuration_of_an_existing_Ansible_instance⠀⇛ In the first_installment of this series, we discussed how to configure Red_Hat_Ansible_Automation_Platform for configify.aapconfig collection, how to export configurations from an existing instance for certain objects (i.e., organizations, users and credential types), and how to run automation to apply configurations and manage configuration drift for these objects. * ⚓ Jeremy_Cline:_Fedora_signing_protocol_tweaks⠀⇛ In my_last_post on Fedora’s signing infrastructure, I ended with some protocol changes I would be interested in making. Over the last few weeks, I’ve tried them all in a proof-of- concept project and I’m fairly satisfied with most of them. In this post I’ll cover the details of the new protocol, as well as what’s next. * ⚓ New_Leostream_Platform_2025.1_Adds_Enhancements_and_Support_for_Red_Hat Enterprise_Linux_9⠀⇛ Leostream Corporation released an update to the world-leading Leostream Remote Desktop Access Platform that adds more features for security, control, performance, and scale-up, plus native support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.

This laptop by Tuxedo is one of the most powerful you can buy, and it comes with Linux out of the box. Tuxedo, a German Linux hardware manufacturer, has just shown off the InfinityBook Pro 15 Gen10. This laptop range stands up to options from companies like System76 and Kubuntu Focus, and is built around AMD's Ryzen AI 300 series of processors, codenamed "Strix Point." These chips are currently AMD's crème de la crème when it comes to laptops, using the Zen 5 core architecture. This laptop range comes in options ranging up to the top-tier AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, so you can get this laptop as powerful as you need it. It comes with integrated AMD Radeon graphics, which should be good enough for most daily applications and maybe even some gaming if you don't get too demanding.

Geerling ☛ Recording_vintage_CRTs_with_a_modern_Sony_mirrorless camera⠀⇛ Growing up, I remember recording CRTs with any camera was an exercise in frustration. You would either get a black bar that goes across everything, a slowly moving 'shutter' of darkness over the screen, black frame flickering, or even a variety of bright artifacts, especially when moving the camera around. * ⚓ Thibault_Martin:_Loading_credentials_from_Bitwarden_with_direnv⠀⇛ When working on my homelab, I regularly need to pass credentials to my tools. A naive approach is to just store the token in clear text, like for example in this opentofu snippet. * ⚓ NVISO Labs ☛ Refinery_raid⠀⇛ This blog post provides a step-by-step guide for setting up a virtual oil processing plant using https://labshock.github.io/. We will then demonstrate how to simulate a cyberattack by writing a custom python script. This exercise is designed for security professionals, engineers, and researchers interested in OT/ICS security. * ⚓ dwaves.de ☛ GNU/Linux_howto_ffmpeg_how_to_recompress_mp4_video_to_be web_compatible_minimum_filesize⠀⇛ * ⚓ TecMint ☛ 10_Must-Know_sFTP_Commands_for_Linux_File_Transfers⠀⇛ As we all know, FTP is not secure because all transmissions occur in clear text, which means that anyone sniffing network packets can easily read the data. * ⚓ Stefano Marinelli ☛ Make_Your_Own_Backup_System_–_Part_2:_Forging_the FreeBSD_Backup_Stronghold⠀⇛ The backup server should be hardened. If possible, it should be protected and unreachable from the outside. My best backup servers are those accessible only via VPN, capable of pulling the data on their own. If they are on a LAN, it's even better if they are completely disconnected from the Internet. For this very reason, backups must always be encrypted. Having a backup means having full access to the data, and the backup server is the prime target for being breached or stolen if the goal is to get your hands on that data. I've seen healthcare facilities' backup servers being targeted (in a rather trivial way, to be honest) by journalists looking for health details of important figures. It is therefore critical that the backup server be as secure as possible. Based on the type of access, I use two types of encryption: [...] * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Xorg_crash_on_Compaq_Presario⠀⇛ On the forum, a tester reported that Easy Excalibur does not work on an old PC; Xorg failed to start. So far, I've been testing Excalibur on fairly modern computers, so I booted the latest build, 6.118, on my old Compaq Presario, which has 2GB RAM, defective chip maker Intel Core-2 Duo CPU E7300 and defective chip maker Intel GMA 3100 GPU. Get to a desktop, test various apps, they work. However, there is a specific action that crashes Xorg then get a black screen, requiring long press of the power-button. In QuickSetup, make just one change, to select "Australia -> Perth" timezone, then click OK button, then when the "XKB Configuration Manager" window comes up, click "exit" button ...Xorg crash. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Miniconda_on_CentOS_Stream_10⠀⇛ Installing Miniconda on CentOS Stream 10 provides developers and data scientists with a powerful, lightweight package management system. This comprehensive guide walks you through every step of the installation process, from initial setup to advanced configuration. Miniconda offers significant advantages over traditional package managers, particularly for Python development environments. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_SMPlayer_on_Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ SMPlayer stands as one of the most versatile and user- friendly media players available for GNU/Linux systems today. This powerful, open-source application brings exceptional multimedia capabilities to Linux Mint 22, offering seamless playback for virtually any video or audio format you encounter. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_ionCube_PHP_Encoder_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ PHP code protection remains a critical concern for developers and businesses seeking to safeguard their intellectual property. The ionCube PHP Encoder stands as one of the most trusted solutions in the industry, offering robust bytecode encryption and obfuscation capabilities that have protected countless applications since 2002. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Set_Up_SSH_Two-Factor_Authentication_on AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ SSH attacks increased by 147% in 2024, making robust authentication mechanisms absolutely critical for server security. With over 2.5 billion daily SSH login attempts recorded globally, implementing two-factor authentication (2FA) has become a necessity rather than an option for system administrators managing AlmaLinux servers. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_HPLIP_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Installing HP GNU/Linux Imaging and Printing (HPLIP) on Fedora 42 ensures optimal functionality for your HP printers, scanners, and multifunction devices. While Fedora 42 brought several improvements to the GNU/Linux desktop experience, it also introduced specific challenges for HPLIP users, particularly with plugin installation and checksum verification issues. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Set_Static_IP_Address_on_AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ Setting up a static IP address on AlmaLinux 10 is essential for enterprise environments where consistent network connectivity and reliable server access are paramount. Unlike dynamic IP addresses assigned through DHCP, static IP configuration ensures your AlmaLinux system maintains the same network identity across reboots and network changes. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_phpMyAdmin_on_AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ Managing MySQL and MariaDB databases through command-line interfaces can be challenging for many system administrators and developers. phpMyAdmin provides an intuitive web-based solution that simplifies database administration tasks significantly. This comprehensive guide walks you through installing and configuring phpMyAdmin on AlmaLinux 10, ensuring optimal security and performance. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2889 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/30/Uptime_of_666.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/30/Uptime_of_666.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Uptime of 666⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 30, 2025, updated Jul 30, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Bare_metal⦈_ Next week (7 days from now) it'll be 666 days since I rebooted my laptop.

We appreciate adding support for more backends and to let users decide which ones to use, as this allows us to approach it with a survival of the fittest attitude. What does not work in the long run or what isn’t actually used, we can deprecate and remove again. Ideally this helps us select the better ones for the future. * ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ Output_nothing_with_–out-null⠀⇛ Downloading data from a remote URL is probably the single most common operation people do with curl. Often, users then add various additional options to the command line to extract information from that transfer but may also decide that the actually fetched data is not interesting. * ⚓ MJ Fransen ☛ Joined_the_netizen_club_webring⠀⇛ The netizen club webring helps to find websites that are accessible for old computers.

That includes managing your storage, which isn't exactly easy to do in Linux, even with a visual file management application. Thankfully, you can accomplish just about anything directly from the terminal window, assuming you know a few basic commands. * ⚓ XDA ☛ 4_reasons_I_use_both_NFS_and_SMB_on_my_NAS_for_file_sharing⠀⇛ When configuring your network-attached storage (NAS) for sending and receiving files from clients, several protocols are available. The two most common are Server Message Block (SMB) and Network File System (NFS). SMB is best suited for Windows clients, while NFS is the go-to for Linux and macOS (and any other Unix-based system). Depending on what devices you have on your home local area network (LAN) that will interact with the NAS, it may be prudent to have both active and running. It's what I do, and here's why. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I've_mapped_my_TrueNAS_storage_server_to_my_home_lab_for_easy access,_and_here's_the_right_way_to_do_it⠀⇛ When it comes to a custom NAS setup, you’ve got plenty of choices for the operating system. There’s OpenMediaVault for underpowered devices, Unraid for premium users, and even good ol’ Proxmox, once you arm it with the right packages. However, TrueNAS Scale is my favorite NAS-centric distribution by a long shot, thanks to its top-notch performance, free nature, data protection services, and ZFS support. It also offers several network sharing protocols to help me access my precious ZFS-powered datasets from every device in my arsenal. Unfortunately, TrueNAS Scale isn’t the simplest OS to use – especially if you’re a beginner. So, here’s a quick guide on how you can share your TrueNAS Scale server with other devices over your home network. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Why_I_Use_Docker_Instead_of_Installing_Apps_Directly_on_My NAS⠀⇛ Are you still installing apps on your NAS from your manufacturer’s app store? It’s time to stop. I only trust Docker for installing apps on my NAS, instead of using a native app store. Why? Well, there are several reasons, and almost all of it centers around security. § Docker Containers Only Get Access to What I Let Them One of my favorite attributes of Docker is how secure it can be. With a Docker container, it really only has access to what I grant it. Should I want to keep things ultra-secure, I can have Docker create a segregated volume that the container accesses for storage and nothing else can touch it (and it can’t touch anything else). Or, I could opt to mount a folder (or specific file) from the OS to the container. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3242 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/30/XDA_Articles_on_Proxmox_for_Personal_Use.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/30/XDA_Articles_on_Proxmox_for_Personal_Use.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ XDA Articles on Proxmox for Personal Use⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 30, 2025 * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_back_up_my_Proxmox_workstation_to_the_cloud..._using_my_TrueNAS Scale_server⠀⇛ Backups are the most essential maintenance task for computing devices, and believing otherwise only sets you up for a lot of despair when things eventually go wrong. This is especially true for home labs, as their experimental nature makes them a lot more prone to freak accidents involving everything from mistakenly-edited config files to DNS-related ailments, I’ve got a dedicated NAS for my data archival needs, and it pairs well with my Proxmox Backup Server. But if you’re familiar with the 3-2-1 backup scheme, you’ll know that this setup is far from ideal, as I’ll need another copy of my data stored on a cloud server to ensure my virtual guests remain recoverable on the off chance that both my Proxmox node and NAS break down at the same time. As such, I decided to pair the TrueNAS Scale dataset containing my PBS-aided backups with a Google Drive account. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_use_these_5_essential_companion_services_with_my_Proxmox_hub⠀⇛ Proxmox is my favorite virtualization platform, and there are plenty of reasons why I adore it more than all its rivals combined. Its low system requirements and built-in LXC support make it perfect for underpowered devices, while its Ceph storage, high-availability provisions, ZFS compatibility, SDN tools, and cutting-edge performance complement high-end servers. Plus, it meshes really well with other server-oriented applications and utilities, regardless of whether they identify as separate platforms with their own niche uses or are general- purpose services belonging to the self-hosted ecosystem. In fact, here’s a curated list of tools that enhance the functionality of my Proxmox server to the next level. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_used_Proxmox_Datacenter_Manager_with_my_PVE_nodes_-_here’s_how it_went⠀⇛ Contrary to what you’d expect from a platform designed for home servers, Proxmox has fairly minimal system requirements – to the point where it’s possible to convert any old machine into a reliable PVE node. In fact, I’ve spent the last couple of weeks turning ancient laptops – systems I’d otherwise consider e- waste – into reliable Proxmox-based LXC-hosting servers. But my latest Proxmox escapades have brought a new issue to light: I have no way of managing the entire battalion of PVE nodes running in my home lab. Luckily for folks such as myself, Proxmox Datacenter Manager is a utility purposely designed to help keep track of PVE nodes. Now that I’ve started using it, I can confirm that Proxmox Datacenter Manager has plenty of perks and quirks, and here’s a quick log of my experience with the tool. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 3324 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 35 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
