In forensic investigations, this step is critical because it allows investigators to quickly identify, prioritize, and isolate the most relevant or high value evidence from large volumes of data, ensuring that limited time and resources are focused on artifacts most likely to reveal key facts about an incident. Sometimes, a quick script will be enough to speed up this task. # ⚓ LWN ☛ Deep_immutability_for_Python⠀⇛ Python has recently seen a number of experiments to improve its parallel performance, including exposing subinterpreters as part of the standard library. These allow separate threads within the same Python process to run simultaneously, as long as any data sent between them is copied, rather than shared. PEP 795 ("Deep Immutability in Python") seeks to make efficient sharing of data between subinterpreters possible by allowing Python objects to be "frozen", so that they can be accessed from multiple subinterpreters without copying or synchronization. That task is more difficult than it seems, and the PEP prompted a good deal of skepticism from the Python community. When threads concurrently access data, care must be taken to avoid race conditions. Historically, Python solved this problem with the global interpreter lock (GIL), which allows only one thread to access Python objects at a time. The Python community has been working to remove the GIL for several years, in order to make multithreaded code more efficient. Most recently, that has resulted in the creation of "free-threaded Python", a separate experimental build of the language that lacks a GIL. Now, users of free-threaded Python are faced with the problem of manually synchronizing threads, as users of other languages are. Subinterpreters offer a less error-prone alternative: separate, isolated memory spaces each with their own GIL. Objects can be sent between them using queues that perform a deep copy of the object to keep the subinterpreters isolated. o § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ # ⚓ PDFs_must_die⠀⇛ We the data professionals, we hate PDFs.

Well, technically, you’ve got LiteStep and Cairo Desktop Shells to modify the OS’ appearance, but these utilities are exceedingly rare due to the proprietary nature of the Windows NT kernel. So, you can imagine my surprise when I first realized that I could outfit my favorite Linux distributions with slick-looking desktop environments. Several years have passed since that fateful day, and my grown-up self has tinkered with dozens of desktop environments. While most of them bring their own set of perks and quirks to the table, here are five amazing desktop environments that I always recommend to Linux enthusiasts.

Linux is also viable as a desktop operating system. Why? It's not only one of the most reliable platforms available, it's also very secure… and cost-effective. Yeah, that ol' bottom line will grab your attention every time. But which distributions should you consider? The choice can be a bit daunting, especially when you consider most Linux distributions will save you money and help protect your assets (think "data").

On July 15, at DebConf25 in Brest, France, Samuel Henrique walked through the process of providing security updates to users; he discussed how Debian learns about security vulnerabilities, decides on the best response, and the process of sending out updates to keep its users safe. He also provided guidance on how others could get involved. Henrique introduced himself as a member of Debian's security- tools packaging team; he has been a Debian developer since 2018, maintains a several packages, and serves as a mentor for newcomers trying to learn how to package software. He is also a senior system development engineer for the Amazon Linux security team, but he noted that his contributions to Debian are made as a volunteer and not something he does during work hours. * ⚓ When_free-software_communities_unite_for_privacy⠀⇛ At DebConf25 in Brest, France, the talk "When Free Software Communities Unite: Tails, Tor, and the Fight for Privacy" was delivered by a man who introduced himself only as intrigeri. He delivered an overview of the Tor Project, its mission, and the projects under the umbrella. He also spoke about how the organization depends on Debian, and plans for the software it delivers. It is entirely fitting that a talk on protecting user privacy and anonymity would be given by a speaker who does not reveal their full name in person or online. The Tor Project is a non- profit organization with a global community of volunteers who work together to produce ""a lot of software"", intrigeri said. He did not cover all of the software produced by the organization, and when one says "Tor" some disambiguation is necessary. Tor may refer to several things. It could refer to the organization itself, or the Tor network, which is the overlay network that runs through Tor network relays operated by volunteers, using a technique known as onion routing. Internet traffic is routed through Tor relays to obfuscate a user's location and destination to deter network surveillance or traffic analysis from determining what a user is doing online. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⡀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⢿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠘⠿⠏⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣭⡷⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⠋⠘⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⣀⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣦⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠣⣦⣌⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠙⠾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠋⠉⠉⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠻⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣠⣶⣿⣿⣖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⠿⠟⠙⠋⣻⣿⡦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠛⠛⠛⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢠⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢠⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡏⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⠉⠉⠉⠙⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⡏⠁⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣶⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢿⡟⠉⠉⠀⠈⠙⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣷⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⠿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠔⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠿⠇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⡿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⡿⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠘⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣶⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⡿⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⢿⣷⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⣤⣶⣤⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠋⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1366 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/31/LWN_s_Kernel_Coverage.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/31/LWN_s_Kernel_Coverage.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ LWN's Kernel Coverage⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 31, 2025 * ⚓ Scheduler_medley:_time-slice_extension,_sched_ext_deadline_servers,_and LRU_batching.⠀⇛ Decades after its creation, the Linux CPU scheduler remains an area of active development; it is difficult to find a time slice to cover every interesting scheduler change. In an attempt to catch up, the time has come to round-robin through a few patches that have been circulating recently. The work at hand focuses on a new attempt at time-slice extension, the creation of a deadline server for sched_ext tasks, and keeping tasks on isolated CPUs from being surprised by LRU batching. * ⚓ QUIC_for_the_kernel⠀⇛ The QUIC transport-layer network protocol is not exactly new; it was first covered here in 2013. Despite carrying a significant part of the traffic on the Internet, QUIC has been anything but quick when it comes to getting support into the Linux kernel. The pace might be picking up, though; Xin Long has posted the first set of patches intended to provide mainline support for this protocol. QUIC was created to address a number of problems that have been observed with TCP on the modern Internet. The three-way handshake at the core of the TCP connection protocol adds latency to connections, causing the next cat video to be that much slower to arrive. TCP was not designed to support multiple simultaneous data streams; it suffers from head-of-line blocking, in which a dropped packet brings everything to a halt. All told, TCP does not perform as well as one might like for that all-important web-browsing use case. [...] QUIC is an attempt to address all of these problems. A streamlined connection-setup process eliminates the three-way handshake, making the establishment of connections faster. The protocol is built on top of UDP, and is designed with multiple streams in mind; the loss of one UDP packet will not affect any streams that did not have data in that packet. QUIC-specific transport data is contained within the UDP packets, and is always end-to-end encrypted, so middleboxes have no chance to inspect it. If UDP packets can get through, anything that QUIC does can get through as well. * ⚓ How_to_write_Rust_in_the_kernel:_part_3⠀⇛ The interfaces between C and Rust in the kernel have grown over time; any non-trivial Rust driver will use a number of these. Tasks like allocating memory, dealing with immovable structures, and interacting with locks are necessary for handling most devices. There are also many subsystem-specific bindings, but the focus of this third item in our series on writing Rust in the kernel will be on an overview of the bindings that all kernel Rust code can be expected to use. Rust code can call C using the foreign function interface (FFI); given that, one potential way to integrate Rust into the kernel would have been to let Rust code call kernel C functions directly. There are a few problems with that approach, however: __always_inline functions, non-idiomatic APIs, etc. In particular, C and Rust have different approaches to freeing memory and locking. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1457 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/31/Ma_ma_ma_ma_my_Fedora_Good_and_bad_lessons_from_42.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/31/Ma_ma_ma_ma_my_Fedora_Good_and_bad_lessons_from_42.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ma-ma-ma-ma my Fedora - Good and bad lessons from '42⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jul 31, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇desktop_wallpaper_of_the_day,_mountain_view⦈_ Quoting: Ma-ma-ma-ma my Fedora - Good and bad lessons from '42 — And here we are. The end of this article. In some ways, you could consider it an extension of my review of Fedora 42, with a bit more focus on specific aspects of the desktop behavior and usage, ergonomics, package management and such. Some good things, some brilliants things, some bad or even awful ones. I'm not trying to be diplomatic on purpose, I simply see a blend of solutions and options that don't gel well together, a story of Linux repeated a million times. I've always liked Fedora's underlying tech, the kernel, the yum/dnf tooling. I was never keen on the licensing model, as it sort of mandates breaking out of the distro's world to get to the stuff that people want or need, as, alas, there's a lot of useful proprietary stuff out there. So far, attempts to reconcile this haven't worked out that well. If anything, I think the latest few attempts only create more confusion. For now. Ergonomics. Ah, ergonomics. Where do you separate taste from functionality? Well, as I always said, you count mouse clicks. Only techies use keyboard shortcuts, so if your first thought is Ctrl + something, nope. A simple GUI is good in that it's not cluttered, but form over function, c'mon. The normies ain't any more enlightened, and you only make work harder for people who seek efficiency. But on the plus side, I think Fedora's made inroads in the accessibility space. And then, side by side with it, it also seems to embrace a whole bunch of smartphone-like Windows-11-like ideas that have no place on the desktop. And with those words, I bid thee farewell.

Tor Browser 15.0a1 is available for all our supported platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android) unlike last year where we had to delay our Android release. * ⚓ Thunderbird ☛ Mozilla_Thunderbird:_State_of_the_Thunder:_Answering Community_Questions!⠀⇛ For the past few months, we’ve been talking about our roadmaps and development and answering community questions in a video and podcast series we call “State_of_the_Thunder.” We’ve decided, after your feedback, to also cover them in a blog, for those who don’t have time to watch or listen to the entire session. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1605 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/31/News_From_FSF_and_GNU_Projects.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/31/News_From_FSF_and_GNU_Projects.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ News From FSF and GNU Projects⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 31, 2025 * § FSF⠀➾ o ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Blogs:_Can_you_help_us_with_the_GNU_Press_shop_on August_11?⠀⇛ We're still looking for volunteers to help us with packing and mailing GNU Press shop orders on August 1 and 11, 2025. o ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Blogs:_Meet_Miles_Wilson,_the_FSF's_summer_2025 campaigns_intern⠀⇛ null o ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_News:_Job_opportunity:_Operations_assistant_at_the_Free Software_Foundation_(part-time)⠀⇛ The Free Software Foundation (FSF), a Massachusetts 501 (c)(3) charity with a worldwide mission to protect computer user freedom, seeks a motivated and talented Boston-based individual to be our operations assistant. o ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_News:_Job_opportunity:_Deputy_director_at_the_Free Software_Foundation_(part-time_exempt)⠀⇛ The Free Software Foundation (FSF), a Massachusetts-based 501(c)(3) charity with a worldwide mission to protect computer user freedom, seeks a motivated and talented individual in the Boston area to be our deputy director. * § GNU Projects⠀➾ o ⚓ GNU ☛ cflow_@_Savannah:_GNU_cflow_version_1.8⠀⇛ GNU cflow version 1.8 is available_for_download.  o ⚓ GNU ☛ gdbm_@_Savannah:_GDBM_version_1.26⠀⇛ GDBM version 1.26 is available for download.  This release fixes the following bugs: [...] o ⚓ GNU ☛ mailutils_@_Savannah:_GNU_mailutils_version_3.20⠀⇛ GNU mailutils version 3.20 is available_for_download. New in this version: § Movemail synchronization mode Setting synchronization mode allows the user to keep messages in remote source mailbox, while downloading only recently received messages.  The mode is defined via the --sync command line option or sync configuration statement.  Allowed values are uidnext, uidl, and all. When set to uidnext, movemail uses the combination of uidvalidity/uidnext values.  This is useful     mainly if the source mailbox is accessed via IMAP4 protocol.  When using this method, movemail stores session metadata in files in the directory ~/.movemail.sync.  The directory location can be changed using the --sync-dir option or sync-dir configuration statement. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1701 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/31/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/31/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 31, 2025 * ⚓ Buttondown LLC ☛ 2000_words_about_arrays_and_tables⠀⇛ I'm way too discombobulated from getting next month's release of Logic_for_Programmers ready, so I'm pulling a idea from the slush pile. Basically I wanted to come up with a mental model of arrays as a concept that explained APL-style multidimensional arrays and tables but also why there weren't multitables. * ⚓ Michael Kohl ☛ We_lost_something_along_the_way⠀⇛ I’m glad I did this. It’s good to look outside the ecosystems you use regularly. And the post I linked at the start of this thread was right: it did indeed feel like we lost something, mainly the ability to just write code and get things done, without layer upon layer of incidental complexity on top. It’s not only about getting things done either, it’s also about how approachable our industry is to newcomers. Learning programming is hard enough without also having to learn about all these other things, and I’m afraid we’re losing a lot of potentially great people because of this. Writing software can be an incredibly rewarding and stimulating experience, and I want more people to be able to experience this. Let’s say no to overly complicated stacks and treating every side-project like it’s the next unicorn and embrace simplicity and having fewer barriers between an idea and working code. * ⚓ Sandor Dargo ☛ Format_your_own_type_(Part_2)_|_Sandor_Dargo's_Blog⠀⇛ Last week, we discussed how to write our own formatter and finished with a relatively simple solution for printing a struct called ProgrammingLanguage.

Get What You Need If you find yourself receiving a high volume of notifications, we highly recommend visiting your subscriptions page to fine-tune what you see. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Linux_Fu:_The_Cheap_Macropad_Conundrum⠀⇛ You can get cheap no-brand macropads for almost nothing now. Some of them have just a couple of keys. Others have lots of keys, knobs, and LEDs. You can spring for a name brand, and it’ll be a good bet that it runs QMK. But the cheap ones? Get ready to download Windows-only software from suspicious Google Drive accounts. Will they work with Linux? Maybe. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ Better_alternative_to_shell_scripts_with Python,_uv_and_pytest⠀⇛ Performing all sorts of small tasks and automations with shell scripts is a superpower for software developers, IT admins and other people working with computers. I’ve been writing bash scripts for 15+ years to solve my problems but no matter how much I studied and practiced the craft, I always felt insecure about my scripts, felt they were error-prone and had to do a lot of manual testing to get them right. With a few new additions to Python language and its tool ecosystem, it’s now better equipped for writing self- contained small scripts to replace shell scripts. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1805 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/31/Raspberry_Pi_and_Programmable_Computers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/07/31/Raspberry_Pi_and_Programmable_Computers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Raspberry Pi and Programmable Computers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 31, 2025 * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ CM5_MINIMA_Raspberry_Pi_CM5_carrier_board_features_M.2 2230/2242_socket_for_Hailo_Hey_Hi_(AI)_accelerator_or_NVMe_SSD⠀⇛ The CM5 MINIMA is a compact carrier board for the Raspberry Pi CM5, which includes an M.2 M-Key slot for Hailo Hey Hi (AI) accelerators or SSDs.

"It's a drop- in replacement," he said. "This is something that we always wanted to take care of." * ⚓ Leadedsolder ☛ CoCo1_composite_video⠀⇛ When I got the CoCo, one of the big problems was the super- smeary, snowy video on the RF-out. Even though composite video is generated internally by the video circuitry of the computer, Tandy didn’t end up breaking it out to an actual port. Lots of other 8-bit machines of the era are in the same boat. Luckily, adding a composite video port to the CoCo is very straightforward! So straightforward, in fact, that I did it twice. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Rebooting_WarGames‘_WOPR_With_A_Pi_And_Gemini⠀⇛ WarGames fans, rejoice: [Nick Bild] has rebooted WOPR for real. In his latest hack, the Falcon, he recreates the iconic AI from the 1983 film using a Raspberry Pi 400, a vintage SP0256-AL2 speech chip from General Instrument, and Google’s Gemini LLM.

With version 1.10, we continue our commitment to helping organizations protect sensitive data in use, improve workload isolation, and meet stringent compliance requirements, all while embracing the flexibility of cloud-native applications and multi-cloud deployments. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Deploy_sensitive_workloads_with_OpenShift confidential_containers [Ed: More fake security from IBM; truly atrocious]⠀⇛ CoCo integrate trusted execution environment (TEE) infrastructure with the cloud-native world. A TEE is an isolated environment with enhanced security provided by confidential computing-capable hardware, such as Azure cloud infrastructure. A special virtual machine (VM) called a confidential virtual machine (CVM) that executes inside the TEE is the foundation for the OpenShift CoCo solution. CoCo leverages those CVM to create pods inside them which results in a confidential container (pod) for running workloads with enhanced security.  * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_named_a_Leader_in_The_Forrester_Wave™: Multicloud_Container_Platforms,_Q3_2025 [Ed: Forrester_is_bribed_by_Red Hat_to_issues_marketing_disguised_as_"independent"_"analyses"]⠀⇛ The Forrester Wave offers guidance to prospective buyers navigating a technology market, drawing upon analysis and expert opinion.

The process is highly technical, and even as someone who has done it many times myself, I find it both tedious and a bit terrifying. One mistake, and your phone becomes a brick. There's a reason fewer of us are into Android modding these days. Murena is one of the few ways you can buy a phone running a free and open source OS out of the box. The company sells handsets running / e/, a fork of LineageOS focused on privacy and trying not to leak any data to Google. That’s not to say that everything that ships in the phone is fully open. Some apps and bits of firmware are proprietary. These devices aren’t getting a Free Software Foundation recommendation any time soon, but they’re as close as you’re going to get in the Android world without taking matters into your own hands. Murena is also the only official way to buy the Fairphone 6 in the US. That’s really repairable hardware that fits the Linux ethos rather well compared to other Android phones.

Ubuntu ☛ How_to_enable_Real-time_Ubuntu_on_your_machine ⠀⇛ If you’re here, you likely already know about preemption, determinism, and real-time capable operating systems. If that’s the case, and you want to learn how to get up and running with Real-time Ubuntu, skip ahead now to find out how to enable the kernel on your workstation. * ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Create_Aliases_(Shortcuts)_for_Common_Commands_in Linux⠀⇛ You can save yourself some time by creating aliases for your most commonly used commands.

However, all of these things can be separated, and in complex environments they are (for example, the university's overall IAM environment, also). * ⚓ Jono Alderson ☛ The_web_isn’t_URL-shaped_anymore⠀⇛ For as long as we’ve been doing SEO, we’ve been operating inside a URL-shaped worldview. Google’s early systems indexed and ranked URLs. PageRank flowed along links between them. Analytics tools counted visits per URL. Keyword research mapped to URLs. Content strategies were literally drawn as sitemaps. The URL wasn’t just an address – it was the atomic unit of the web. That model shaped everything: [...] * ⚓ Linux Host Support ☛ How_to_Install_ownCloud_on_AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ OwnCloud is a software used to create a file hosting service. It is a free alternative to Dropbox, Surveillance Giant Google Drive, and other similar services. OwnCloud can be used to create your file server and configured according to your needs.

Among the various command-line editors available, Nano stands out as an exceptionally user-friendly option that bridges the gap between simplicity and functionality. Rocky GNU/Linux 10, with its enterprise-grade stability and robust package management system, provides an ideal environment for running Nano text editor. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Varnish_on_CentOS_Stream_10⠀⇛ Web performance optimization has become critical for businesses competing in today’s digital landscape. Varnish Cache stands as one of the most powerful HTTP reverse proxy and caching solutions available, capable of delivering exceptional performance improvements for web applications. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Anaconda_on_Rocky_GNU/Linux_10⠀⇛ Installing Anaconda on Rocky GNU/Linux 10 opens up a world of possibilities for data science, machine learning, and Python development.

I've found it to be fairly predictable in that respect. However, nothing is perfect, and you might run into an instance where the open-source operating system doesn't perform up to your standards. [...] One cause of slowdowns could be too many applications running at bootup. Some of these applications are obviously necessary (such as Wayland), while others (especially GUI apps) may not be. Every application that runs uses system resources. Too many startup applications could slow things down. Fortunately, Ubuntu ships with a Startup Applications utility, which makes it easy to enable or disable applications that start automatically when you log in. When I need to make such adjustments, I always keep startup applications to a minimum. * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ Linux_PC_acting_up?_How_to_check_for_bad_blocks_on_a_hard_drive -_before_it's_too_late⠀⇛ I've had it happen before. Back when drives consisted of spinning, magnetic platters, that dreaded "tick" was a sure sign a hard drive was failing. Once upon a nightmare scenario, I waited too late and wound up losing everything on my drive. Sure, I could have recovered that data, but at a pretty high monetary cost. Since then, I've always been vigilant about checking for bad blocks and sectors on hard drives. * ⚓ OSTechNix ☛ Maru_OS:_Turn_Your_Phone_Into_A_Linux_PC_With_Ease!⠀⇛ Have you ever wished your phone could be your only computer?

Ubuntu — You can already setup full disk-encryption on Ubuntu when installing (with the Flutter-based installer). This encrypts using a passphrase (LUKS) you specify, which you then type in on each boot. If successful, the passphrase decrypts disk contents and on you go. You can also use disk encryption keys tied to a TPM (i.e., at a hardware level – though TPM can be emulated at a software level too), with TPM used to verify each system boot. This is the way disk encryption works on most major desktop operating systems.

Ubuntu — Ubuntu’s new monthly snapshot releases are images produced by a new automated build and testing process Canonical’s engineers are working on. The aim is to to create a pipeline that needs ‘little to no human intervention’ and creates ISOs faster and more reliably. These monthly snapshots are not in any sense ‘stable’ or ‘production ready’. They are not alpha or beta builds, and no more reliable than a daily build. For the avoidance of doubt, they’re not rolling releases, either. Canonical developer Utkarsh Gupta frames it on Ubuntu Devel mailing list “…these aren’t production ready and should be seen as “throwaway artifacts” for now”. In a sense, Ubuntu monthly snapshots are as much about letting distro’s engineer stress-test, assess and continually address issues in their new automated image building process as much as they about making snapshots for testing. Not that real world feedback on those builds isn’t important, of course.
