The main difference is that Gemini approaches this task with a strong philosophy of “keep it simple” and “less is enough”. This allows Gemini to simply sidestep, rather than try and probably fail to solve, many of the problems plaguing the modern web, which just seem to get worse and worse no matter how many browser add-ons or well meaning regulations get thrown at them. We roundup the finest free and open source terminal-based Gemini clients. If you’re looking for graphical clients, they are covered in a separate roundup.

One of the most notable shifts is the end of shipping both systemd and sysVinit on the same ISO. Up until now, MX Linux has relied on custom systemd-shim packages to offer users a choice between init systems at boot. But with the newer 6.12 kernels from Debian, that solution is no longer viable. So, starting with MX Linux 25, users will need to pick their preferred init system—systemd or sysVinit—when downloading the ISO, not during installation or boot. For maximum compatibility with modern Debian software, the default Xfce, Fluxbox, and KDE editions will now use systemd, while sysVinit spins will still be available for Xfce and Fluxbox.

After all, the ability to boot into a random distro and play around with it before relegating a dedicated storage drive is pretty handy, regardless of whether you’re an ex-Windows/macOS user looking for the ideal replacement or a distro-hopper who loves tinkering with different flavors of Linux. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ One_Year_in_With_My_Kubuntu_Laptop,_Here's_What_I've Learned⠀⇛ Just about a year ago, I bought a Kubuntu Focus Ir14 (Gen 2) laptop after reviewing the bigger Ir16 model. In the time since, I've learned or simply confirmed several facts about Kubuntu and Linux-first computer purchases in general. § Kubuntu Is Rock Solid One of the standout benefits of using this laptop long-term with Kubuntu 24.04 LTS is that the operating system doesn't change much. That may sound like a mundane fact or even a drawback instead of a benefit, but it actually might be my favorite thing about this laptop purchase. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ ChromeOS_Doesn't_Support_DVD_Playback—Why?⠀⇛ ChromeOS devices, like Chromebooks and Chromeboxes, have to serve a wide variety of audiences, including schools and businesses that might have media and AV equipment that's decades old, but still in use. That's why, to my surprise, my ChromeBook turned out to be the perfect device to watch content on my CRT TVs. Then I thought: I could watch my collection of DVDs on my ChromeBook, surely?

Since then, I’ve experimented with more setups, tried different programs, and started managing my own server with NixOS. And… Contrary to my initial expectations that I would get a better return on investment from NixOS with more usage, but the opposite happened. * § Debian Family⠀➾ o ⚓ Ben_Hutchings:_FOSS_activity_in_July_2025⠀⇛ In July I attended DebCamp_and_DebConf in Brest, France. I very much enjoyed the opportunity to reconnect with other Debian contributors in person. I had a number of interesting and fruitful conversations there, besides the formally organised BoFs and talks. o ⚓ Aigars Mahinovs ☛ Aigars_Mahinovs:_Debconf_25_photos⠀⇛ § Debconf 25 photos Debconf_25 came to the end in Brest, France this year a couple weeks ago. This has been a very different and unusually interesting Debconf. For me it was for two, related reasons: for one the conference was close enough in Western Europe that I could simply drive there with a car (which reminds me that I should make a blog post about the BMW i5, before I am done with it at the end of this year) and for the other - the conference is close enough to Western Europe that many other Debian developers could join this year who have not been seen at the event for many years. Being able to arrive early, decompress and spend extra time looking around the place made the event itself even more enjoyable than usual. o ⚓ Sergio_Cipriano:_Query_Debian_changelogs_by_keyword_with_the_FTP- Master_API⠀⇛ § Query Debian changelogs by keyword with the FTP-Master API In my post about tracking_my_Debian_uploads, I used the ProjectB database directly to retrieve how many uploads I had so far. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 644 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/04/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/04/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 04, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇sequence_diagram⦈_ * ⚓ Bustle_-_visualize_D-Bus_activity_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Bustle draws sequence diagrams of D-Bus activity.

Those of you who know the mission of GNU Solidario will understand the relevance of this congress in our society, our planet and humanity. Among other things, Luis will talk about the importance of GNU Health, the Global Exposome project and Open Science to achieve social justice, and why is crucial to immediately move away from the ruthless anthropocentrism and start respecting other species and nature is the morally right thing to do, but the only key if we want to survive as a species. Looking forward to meeting you in Rome! * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o ⚓ Jim Nielsen ☛ A_Few_Things_About_the_Anchor_Element’s_href_You Might_Not_Have_Known⠀⇛ I’ve written previously about reloading_a_document_using only_HTML but that got me thinking: What are all the values you can put in an anchor tag’s href attribute? Well, I_looked_around. I found some things I already knew about, e.g. o ⚓ Yury Molodtsov ☛ I_Can't_Stop_Using_Dia_Browser⠀⇛ Unlike Arc, Dia simply feels like a more polished Chrome. A much better Chrome. Frankly, that just shows how little Google cares about its products and their UX. A team of 120 employees has managed to build an alternative UI that is a joy to use. Dia doesn’t have many advanced features yet, such as Tab Groups or PWA support, but everything included already feels better. And Chrome’s tab groups have always been quite rough and inferior to Safari’s anyway. Plus, with the recent update, Dia again possesses my favorite Arc’s feature in vertical tabs. What really separates Dia is the AI. The browser is built around it. And I can definitely see why the team went this way. Once you start using it, it’s really difficult to go back. And I imagine the overall familiarity makes it easy for most people to switch from Chrome. * § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ o ⚓ Introducing_pkgctl_license⠀⇛ In Arch Linux, as part of RFC40, we have recently decided to license all Arch GNU/Linux package sources as 0BSD. Our package sources didn't have any license previously. RFC40 only specified that we do want to license our package sources but it didn't specify how to ensure this. As such, in RFC52 we decided we want to use REUSE to achieve that. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ SANS ☛ Legacy_May_Kill,_(Sun,_Aug_3rd)⠀⇛ Just saw something that I thought was long gone.

Could have fooled me, right? Of course, things happen in GNOME. After all, we have been releasing every six months, on the dot, for nearly 25 years. Assuming we’re not constantly re-releasing the same source files, then we have to come to the conclusion that things change inside each project that makes GNOME, and thus things happen that involve more than one project. * ⚓ GNOME ☛ Daiki_Ueno:_Optimizing_CI_resource_usage_in_upstream_projects⠀⇛ At GnuTLS, our journey into optimizing GitLab CI began when we faced a significant challenge: we lost our GitLab.com Open Source Program subscription. While we are still hoping that this limitation is temporary, this meant our available CI/CD resources became considerably lower. We took this opportunity to find smarter ways to manage our pipelines and reduce our footprint. * ⚓ Hubert Figuière ☛ Hubert_Figuière:_Dev_Log_July_2025⠀⇛ ✐ AbiWord⠀✐ Working on rebasing and finishing an "old" patch from Michael Gorse that implement accessibility in AbiWord.

Pushed a lot of code modernisation on master, as well as various memory leaks and crashes on stable. * ⚓ GNOME ☛ Jonathan_Blandford:_GUADEC_2025:_Thoughts_and_Reflections⠀⇛ Another year, another GUADEC. This was the 25th anniversary of the first GUADEC, and the 25th one I’ve gone to. Although there have been multiple bids for Italy during the past quarter century, this was the first successful one. It was definitely worth the wait, as it was one of the best GUADECs in recent memory. This was an extremely smooth conference — way smoother than previous years. The staff and volunteers really came through in a big way and did heroic work! I watched Deepesha, Asmit, Aryan, Maria, Zana, Kristi, Anisa, and especially Pietro all running around making this conference happen. I’m super grateful for their continued hard work in the project. GNOME couldn’t happen without their effort. * ⚓ GNOME ☛ Tobias_Bernard:_GUADEC_2025⠀⇛ Last week was this year’s GUADEC, the first ever in Italy!

First things first: there are breaking changes in this release, but they won’t affect everyone. If you’re already running Immich 1.132 or newer, you’re good—no action needed. But if you’re updating from an older version, heed the warning. o ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Fastfetch_2.49_System_Information_Tool_Brings_Enhanced GPU_Detection⠀⇛ Fastfetch, the tool beloved by Linux enthusiasts for showcasing a sleek summary of system information right in the terminal, has just launched its latest update: version 2.49. First, the most important: the Fastfetch dev announced a significant shift, and more specifically, the JSONC configuration format introduced in version 2 is now becoming the standard. The old-school command-line flags, although still hanging around for compatibility reasons, are starting to cause maintenance headaches. So, starting with version 2.50, Fastfetch will ditch the module configuration flags altogether. Later versions will gradually phase out most other command-line config flags as well. Another detail worth noting is that JSON keys in configuration files are about to become consistently case-sensitive in v2.50. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣤⣴⣤⣤⣀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣶⣿⣜⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣾⣿⣿⣿⣞⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠍⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⢳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣰⣶⣶⠀⢠⣶⣦⠀⢰⣶⣶⣷⣶⣆⠀⠀⣰⣶⣾⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⣿⠋⣿⣿⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⢀⣀⡀⠈⣿⣿⡇⣼⣿⣿⡄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⢠⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠁⠀⠀⣿⢀⣿⣿⣼⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣽⣿⣧⣿⡿⣿⣷⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣧⣾⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣸⣿⣿⣛⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢻⣿⣿⡟⢸⣿⣿⢹⣿⣿⡏⣿⣿⡗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠈⠘⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⣿⣥⣼⣿⣿⣧⣼⣿⣿⣤⣭⡍⠀⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠉⠘⠛⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠸⠏⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣿⡌⣴⣦⣰⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣧⣿⣇⣿⣿⣨⣟⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1103 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/04/Leftovers_on_Applications_and_Games.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/04/Leftovers_on_Applications_and_Games.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Leftovers on Applications and Games⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 04, 2025, updated Aug 04, 2025 * § Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ wget_Removed_from_Ubuntu_Server_25.10_Default Install⠀⇛ Ubuntu Server 25.10 removes wget from its default installation, in favour of the wcurl tool.

Lots of good stuff in the past week. While standout titles like Ninja Gaiden (from the creators of the excellent, bloody and disturbing Blasphemous) and the live-action horror hybrid Dead Take made the cut, one game truly stood out: Fumes. Fighting with cars armed to the teeth in the Wasteland is always fun - that was the main thing that made the Mad Max open-world game really great.

Fresh installations will see this change when 25.10 releases in October. wget has been the standard command-line download tool on Linux systems for years. Most server administrators and scripts rely on its straightforward syntax for file downloads. On the other hand, wcurl is a simple curl wrapper that lets you download files without remembering curl parameters, using curl under the hood with sane defaults. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1192 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/04/Legendary_OpenPrinting_architect_looking_for_new_role.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/04/Legendary_OpenPrinting_architect_looking_for_new_role.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Legendary OpenPrinting architect looking for new role⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 04, 2025 Quoting: Legendary OpenPrinting architect looking for new role — The OpenPrinting project develops and packages a complete subsystem that makes connecting to and setting up printers even easier than it is on Windows.

Moreover, if you’re running GTK 4 apps on Wayland and hitting crashes when using the Vulkan backend, that’s fixed, too. There’s even a fix for llama.cpp crashing on exit when using Vulkan, addressing a problem called out directly in the community. Plus, Wayland users get support for the new fifo-v1 protocol with Vulkan, which helps keep things running more smoothly in next-generation Linux desktops. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ NVIDIA_Beta_driver_580.65.06_released_for_Linux_with bug_fixes_and_expanded_Wayland_support⠀⇛ NVIDIA have released the first Beta for the 580 driver series, with NVIDIA Beta driver 580.65.06 bringing mostly bug fixes. There's also an additional bit of Wayland protocol support included. Since this is a Beta driver, it's not recommended just yet for everyday use.

Let’s say your order service needs to make an RPC call to an external payment service like Stripe when a customer places an order. Usually in Go, people make a package called external or http and stash the logic of communicating with external services there. Then the business logic depends on the external package to invoke the RPC call. This is already better than directly making RPC calls inside your service functions, as that would make these two separate concerns (business logic and external-service wrangling) tightly coupled. Testing these concerns in isolation, therefore, would be a lot harder. * § Open Data⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Global_Modeling_with_Automated_ML:_Impact_of_One_Big Beautiful_Bill_on_Big_Tech⠀⇛ But Trump’s 1 August tariffs, which compensate for tax cuts in the aforementioned bill, seemed not to benefit the tech firms, according to the chart below.

KDE Linux is an all-new desktop Linux distro being developed as a showcase for the KDE desktop project. The project is still in a pre- alpha testing stage, but recently went public on the KDE website. Versions are available to download and try out. KDE Linux is an entirely new and experimental OS. There's lots of room for confusion here, because KDE already has a demonstration distro, KDE Neon. KDE Linux is a totally separate and far more ambitious project. In terms of its underlying design, it's intended to be a super-stable end-user distro. This is in contrast with Neon, which is an experimental showcase for the latest and greatest code. Neon isn't meant to be anyone's daily driver. There's a little more to it, but an executive summary of Neon could be "the latest KDE Plasma pre-installed on top of Ubuntu LTS." KDE Linux is a very different beast. It's not based on it, but several aspects of its design are clearly influenced by Valve's SteamOS 3. Like SteamOS 3, KDE Linux is an immutable distro, with dual read-only Btrfs-format root partitions that update each other alternately. Regular Reg readers may recall this because we discussed it nearly a year ago in the context of both of the two biggest names in Linux desktops – KDE Plasma and GNOME – working on their own showcase distros.

This applies doubly so for image sensors and optics, which is where fundamental physics can only be dodged so far by heavy post-processing.

Use Linux, BSD. — The Expirion website states "So what sets this apart from Devuan? Not much really the kernel for newer hardware support and LibreOffice has been updated, and some minor software & firmware changes, but that is about it and added some icons and themes - Basically I built this to suit my needs, hopefully it will satisfy yours as well." To say it has been updated is not really accurate. The software included in Expirion is newer than Devuan's Stable branch, but only because Expirion is build on Devuan's Testing branch, which will be more up to date. We could install Devuan's Testing branch with the LXQt desktop and get approximately the same experience. It's not a bad experience, on the whole, as long as the user has quite a bit of Linux experience. Expirion is a distribution which requires that you know the device names of your partitions, that you know how to change your PATH variable, that you can navigate multiple system installer windows working in parallel. It's not at all modern, elegant, or streamlined. This is a distribution for people who want to run a conservative, "for experts" distribution like Devuan, with LXQt preconfigured to look nice. As the developer pointed out, this is something they made for themselves and made it available for other people to use. Since I'm one of only 24 people to download the LXQt edition of Expirion since it was released, I'm guessing no many people have the same wants and style as the distribution's creator. This is a niche, conservative, expertese-required distribution and its small audience reflects that. It's a working, functional distribution, but one aimed at a highly specific audience - one that doesn't mind some effort and applying Linux knowledge to get functioning. I wouldn't recommend Expirion to many people because, chances are, if this is the distribution for you, you already know about it.

I was, so I figured out how to use Pi-hole and Nginx Proxy Manager to give my services local domain names without exposing them to the internet. § Local Domain Resolution vs. External: What’s the Difference When you type a domain name into your browser like, say, https: //howtogeek.com, your browser will try to resolve that domain to know where to direct you. External resolutions come from when a website can be accessed from outside its local network. When you access How-To Geek, you’re accessing a server in a data center somewhere that’s on an external network compared to your home’s local internal network. However, if you host a service at home like, say, Audiobookshelf, and access it via its IP address, then you’re accessing a local website. You can also set up a service that will let you access those locally-hosted websites with a domain name, without ever having to leave your local network. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Why_2.5Gb/s_Networking_Is_the_Sweet_Spot_for_Your Homelab⠀⇛ Are you tired of data transfers taking forever on your local network? I was, so I set out to figure out what networking upgrade made the most sense for both me and most people. I started by thinking about 10 gigabit, but quickly realized that 2.5 gigabit networking is the true sweet spot in 2025. Gigabit Networking Is Becoming Slow for Local Networks Back in the mid-1990s, 100Mb/s networking, also known as Fast Ethernet, was the fastest networking available. However, it only stayed around for about three years before Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mb/s) took over as the standard. Since 1999, Gigabit Ethernet has been the industry standard for home networking. Many internet service providers offer internet speeds of gigabit, too. It has become ubiquitous in our modern age. Gigabit Ethernet is now 26 years old, as hard as that might be to believe. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ I_Ditched_Google_Keep_for_This_Self-Hosted_Note-Taking App⠀⇛ Once you have the server running, you need to make it accessible from the internet. Typically, you'll be advised to use a reverse proxy for that. However, in this situation, I think that is unnecessary, especially if this is the only thing you're hosting. Instead, I'd recommend running a lightweight VPN, which allows you to connect to your home network from anywhere in the world and access devices on your local area network as if you were sitting right next to them. Since the Joplin server will, by default, be accessible to devices on your local network, you can use a VPN to connect to it without exposing anything else to the internet. I like WireGuard for this since it is very easy on system resources, but you could use OpenVPN instead. Both are secure and widely supported. I hosted my WireGuard server on a Raspberry Pi 4, which is the same device I use to host the Joplin server. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Home_Assistant_Is_the_Answer_to_Your_Smart_Home's_Biggest Issues⠀⇛ The smart home vision is a bold one, but it doesn’t appeal to everyone. “Some people just want a light switch,” as a colleague recently put it. But many of the drawbacks of a modern smart home can be overcome, and the answer is Home Assistant. Home Assistant is a free and open-source smart home server that runs locally on a dedicated device within your home. While it’s not yet the perfect solution that it could one day be, it’s worth a second glance for anyone interested in building a resilient, dynamic, and truly useful smart home. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1987 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/04/The_Oracle_and_the_Librarian.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/04/The_Oracle_and_the_Librarian.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ The Oracle and the Librarian⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 04, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇The_Oracle_and_the_Librarian⦈_ Spreading bitter disappointment that a "Bro Split" doesn't involve Mark Zuckerberg and a samurai sword, Google launched its ad campaign for "AI" search in the UK this week. Along with everyone who ever read more than three thick books, the advertisement provoked that sinking feeling in me, nausea at the spectacle of humanity circling the drainpipe down to the sea of vacuous banality. To understand why "AI" is not a technological breakthrough but an audacious political movement to redefine our relationship with computers and with truth, let's think about two characters, the Librarian and the Oracle. You remember "The Oracle" of course. Sweet yet mysterious cookie-baking Gloria Foster of Matrix fame. If the Wachowskis left any semblance of The Greek in her it was the power of oblique divination. Like all seers and soothsayers, oracles speak in tongues, amplifying ambiguity as much as information. Like the mystic horoscope writer, the economic alarmist who correctly predicts ten out of four crises, or a stopped clock, she is assured of serendipitous correctness. Nobody remembers the librarian.

What sets Slackware apart from other Linux distributions is that it tries to be more UNIX-like than not. Slackware makes as few modifications as possible to upstream software packages, does not anticipate use cases, and provides no GUI installer. It's that lack of a GUI installer that keeps some users from giving Slackware a try. That's a shame, because Slackware is a remarkably stable operating system. Fortunately, there are always distributions based on Slackware, one of which is called Slackel. Slackel borrows some tools from Salix (another distribution based on Slackware) and has a user-friendly GUI installer. Slackel can be installed to an internal drive, to external media (such as USB drives), or run as a live instance. In other words, Slackel is the most Linux-like of the UNIX-like distributions. Make sense?
