Since CachyOS is a rolling release distro, this OS image is simply a "snapshot" of CachyOS you can download, install, and update. It's cryptically called "250713" though it becomes less cryptic when you realize it was released on July 13, 2025. CachyOS 250713 comes with a refreshed installer that adds the ability to choose either Fish or Zsh as the shell in place of the default Bash. Installations of CachyOS KDE Plasma are now defaulting to Wayland in most cases, save for those relying on legacy Nvidia graphics drivers, which still require Xorg. This snapshot also adds several gaming-oriented changes to proton- cachyos, the customized version of the Proton compatibility layer that CachyOS itself maintains. The changes include improvements to anti-cheat compatibility, anti-lag mitigations for latency, and an FSR 4 upgrade for games that support AMD FSR 3.1.

Thanks to a collaboration between ALESCo (AlmaLinux Engineering Steering Committee), NVIDIA, and the community, AlmaLinux 9 and 10 now include native support for NVIDIA drivers, including CUDA and Secure Boot compatibility. Just a few years ago, native support like this wasn’t feasible. However, NVIDIA’s move toward open-sourcing its graphics drivers made it possible. But what is more important, their new products continue to roll out exclusively under this open model. Another thing worth noting is that AlmaLinux 9 and 10 now include Secure Boot-signed NVIDIA kernel modules, which makes it the first Enterprise Linux distro to ship this right out of the box. Read_on An update More here in LWN: * ⚓ Native_NVIDIA_support_for_AlmaLinux_OS_9_and_10⠀⇛ The AlmaLinux project has announced the availability of packages to enable native NVIDIA driver support, including CUDA and Secure Boot, for AlmaLinux 9 and 10. When AlmaLinux started just 5 years ago, this wouldn't have been possible. With NVIDIA's open source version of their graphics drivers things have changed. This open source version is slowly becoming the flagship driver, with new products being added exclusively to it. With the help of some incredible people in the open source ecosystem and the AlmaLinux community, we were able to do something that has yet to be done in the EL ecosystem - ship Secure Boot signed, open source, NVIDIA kernel modules. Full documentation is available_on_the_AlmaLinux_wiki. It's FOSS News: * ⚓ AlmaLinux_9_&_10_Now_Support_NVIDIA_GPUs_Natively_—_Here's_How_to Set_Them_Up⠀⇛ AlmaLinux OS is a free and open source enterprise Linux distribution that was launched in response to Red Hat ending CentOS in favor of CentOS Stream. Catering to the community's need for a stable, reliable alternative, AlmaLinux OS provides binary compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux while still maintaining the accessibility and community-driven development that made CentOS a success. The distribution has steadily evolved since its launch, and now, the developers have introduced native NVIDIA support. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠺⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡦⠤⠄

'network-manager-applet' packages are from Easy Scarthgap. droidcam because it doesn't exist in the debian repos. network-manager-applet because it is patched -- it has icons in the tray that show data flow in or out, and can be triggered externally. * ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ Inside_Proton’s_New_Two-Factor_Authenticator_App⠀⇛ Proton Authenticator is an open source, privacy-focused authenticator app

That new AI assistant is called Newelle, and it's already proven to be a worthy contender for your desktop. Newelle isn't just another large language model manager, but a full-blown assistant that can run Linux commands from human-readable descriptions (more on that in a bit), serve as a traditional AI chatbot, and more. Newelle uses Bai Chat as its backend and allows you to download and select from different LLMs (some of which will require an API key). o ⚓ ZDNet ☛ Yes,_you_can_edit_video_like_a_pro_on_Linux_-_here_are_my 4_go-to_apps⠀⇛ I've been filming and editing videos for a long time. When I first started, I worked with software that was user-friendly but incapable of producing professional- level videos. Slowly, I climbed the ladder. Now I feel like the tools I have are worthy of being taken seriously. That's not to say those apps I used early on aren't viable options, but it does depend on the results you want to achieve, your target audience, and how/where you plan on distributing/submitting your work. Whether you're just starting with video edits or have been around that particular block a few times, there are some quality editors available for the Linux operating system. Here are my top four. * § WINE or Emulation⠀➾ o ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ Bottles_App_for_Running_GNU/Linux_Finds_Funding⠀⇛ Bottles, the go-to app for running backdoored Windows software on Linux, just landed surprise funding — right as things looked dire. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 449 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/07/Applications_Himmelblau_1_0_Released_and_Events_for_PSQL_and_Wo.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/07/Applications_Himmelblau_1_0_Released_and_Events_for_PSQL_and_Wo.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Applications: Himmelblau 1.0 Released and Events for PSQL and WordPress⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 07, 2025 * ⚓ Himmelblau_1.0_Released_–_Finally,_Real_Intune_Policy_Enforcement_on Linux⠀⇛ I’m happy to announce the release of Himmelblau 1.0, which now supports Intune MDM policy enforcement on Linux. This is a major milestone for the project—and honestly, for the broader GNU/Linux community—because it means we finally have a working, transparent, and open-source alternative to Microsoft’s half- baked Intune client for Linux. * § Mozilla⠀➾ o ⚓ Thunderbird ☛ Mozilla_Thunderbird:_Engage_Your_Inbox_with ‘Getting_Things_Done’⠀⇛ David Allen’s “Getting_Thing_Done” (GTD) system has been around for longer than Thunderbird! First published in a book of the same name in 2001, this approach to productivity is focused on freeing your brain from chaos, giving it “focus, clarity, and confidence” for creativity and new ideas. As I’m also a fan of freedom from chaos, I decided to dive back into our productivity blogs and highlight how to use tags and keyboard shortcuts to use GTD in Thunderbird. § Five Steps to Get Things Done * § Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ Nordic_PGDay_2026_is_returning_to_Finland_for_a_day of_Postgres⠀⇛ Nordic_PGDay will once again return to Helsinki in March 24, 2026, for a day of PostgreSQL in the land of a thousand lakes. Nordic PGDay is a one-day single track event (with an adjoining sponsor track) focusing on bringing together the Postgres community in the Nordic region.

Without those two pieces of technology, we wouldn't have nearly the services and sites we now enjoy. But Linux isn't just a good option for servers and technology stacks. 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. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 579 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/07/ExTiX_Deepin_25_8_Live_based_on_Deepin_25_0_1_STABLE_latest_wit.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/07/ExTiX_Deepin_25_8_Live_based_on_Deepin_25_0_1_STABLE_latest_wit.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ ExTiX Deepin 25.8 Live based on Deepin 25.0.1 STABLE (latest) with Refracta Snapshot and kernel 6.16.0-amd64-exton :: Build 250806⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 07, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇ExTiX_Deepin_25.8_Live⦈_ I’ve released a new version of ExTiX Deepin today (250806). The previous ExTiX Deepin version with Deepin 25 STABLE is from 250701. This ExTiX Build is based on Deepin 25.0.1 STABLE (latest version) released by Deepin Technology on July 2, 2025. Please read the Release Notes. ExTiX 25.8 uses kernel 6.16.0-amd64- exton. ExTiX 25.8 works in the same way as all other ExTiX versions. I.e. you can install it to hard drive while running the system live. Use Calamares (ExTiX) Installer or Refracta Installer for that. Deepin Installer doesn’t work in ExTiX. You can also create your own live installable Deepin 25.0.1 system with Refracta Snapshot. (Using ExTiX 25.8 as a “base system/template”). So easy that a ten year old child can do it!

The model I’m reviewing comes with 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 32GB onboard eMMC storage. It retails for $299 USD. Other configurations are available with a maximum 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB eMMC. One issue that I came across fairly early on is that CIFS is not supported by the AIBOX-3588S’s Debian image. In other words, CIFS has not been compiled into the kernel, or made available as a module. If I had access to the source code, I could build a CIFS module. Instead, Firefly’s technical support provided me with a way to upgrade the system which enabled CIFS. It’s in the form of a extboot image which I uploaded to the machine and used dd to upgrade the system. * ⚓ Telegraph_-_Morse_translator_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Telegraph is a simple Morse translator, start typing your message to see the resulting Morse code and vice versa.

Written by Sawyer in pure, ultra- efficient Intel assembly language — an anomaly by that time, when games were typically written in more manageable higher- level languages like C — Transport Tycoon was as technically impressive as it was engrossing. When it sold fairly well, Sawyer provided a modestly upgraded version called Transport Tycoon Deluxe in 1995, and that also did well. * ⚓ Godot Engine ☛ Dev_snapshot:_Godot_4.5_beta_5⠀⇛ Back to our regularly scheduled schedule! * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ 50_years_after_its_inception,_desktop_PCs_are_less popular_than_ever_—_a_rise_in_PC_gaming_interest_means_it's_in_no_danger of_disappearing⠀⇛ Is the desktop PC dying?

Yamada has just stepped down from that position. Maintenance of the build system will be taken up by Nathan Chancellor and Nicolas Schier (in the "odd fixes" capacity), while the configuration system is now entirely unmaintained. Thanks are due to Yamada for all that work, and to Chancellor and Schier for stepping up.

It was great! For once I had a conference where I had a fairly light load of things I absolutely had to do, so I was able to spend time catching up with old friends, making some new friends, and doing some volunteering - a bit of Front Desk, and quite a lot of video team work where I got to play with sound desks and such. Apparently one of the BoFs (“birds of a feather”, i.e. relatively open discussion sessions) where I was talkmeister managed to break the automatic video cutting system by starting and ending precisely on time, to the second, which I’m told has never happened before.

The two scenarios in this article represent what I consider to be relatively unusual feed problem cases. Understanding how WordPress feeds work by default guided me to a solution. # ⚓ James G ☛ Browser_extensions_I_use⠀⇛ I have been thinking a lot about tech tips lately.

Those devices have access to no end of sensitive data about our lives — our movements, finances, communications, and more — so phones belonging to even relatively low-profile people can be high-value targets. Android devices run free software, at least at some levels, so it should be possible to ensure that they are working in their owners' interests. Off-the-shelf Android installations tend to fall short of that goal. The GrapheneOS Android rebuild is an attempt to improve on that situation. GrapheneOS got its start as "CopperheadOS"; it was reviewed here in 2016. A couple of years later, though, an ugly dispute between the two founders of that project led to its demise. One of those founders, Daniel Micay, continued the work and formed what eventually became GrapheneOS, which is, according to this history page, an independent, open-source project that ""will never again be closely tied to any particular sponsor or company"". Work on GrapheneOS is supported by a Canada-based foundation created in 2023; there appears to be almost no public information available regarding this organization, though. At its core, GrapheneOS is an effort to harden Android against a number of threats and to make Android serve the privacy interests of its users. It is based on the Android Open Source Project, but removes a lot of code and adds a long list of changes. Some of those, such as a hardened malloc() library or the use of additional control-flow-integrity features, will be mostly invisible to users (unless they break apps, of course, which has evidently been known to happen). Others are more apparent, but it is clear that a lot of effort has gone into making the security improvements as unobtrusive as possible.

many Linux power users swear by KDE Plasma? Are you already using Plasma and wondering which specific features to try out? Well, I’ve got you covered—here are 10 awesome Plasma features I use all the time for peak productivity! KDE Plasma is the Linux desktop environment (DE) equivalent of an all-you-can-eat buffet. It offers almost all the features you can want from a DE and then some. I have been using KDE Plasma for over five years, and it’s gotten to the point where I can’t daily drive a Linux distro that’s not running Plasma. It offers a host of thoughtful features that make me super productive, and I feel handicapped when using another DE or operating system. Here’s a quick overview of 10 of my favorite KDE Plasma features and how you too can use them to become more productive.

On the face of it, the movements appear small. Lansweeper's scans of its customers' networks show Linux usage on business endpoints (desktops and laptops) climbing from 1.6 percent in January 2025 to 1.9 percent in June. On assets that appear for the first time after March 1, 2025, usage reached 2.5 percent. However, considering that the results were pulled from a pool of approximately 18.5 million devices (14 million consumer devices and 3.5 million business machines), the change is more than just a rounding error. The change is also not a linear one. Lansweeper CTO, Guido Patanella, told The Register that the trend was more along the lines of exponential. Not a blip, but in Patanella's words: "I think there will be a continuous acceleration."

We are transitioning Arduino cores to ZephyrOS to ensure continued support and innovation for developers. This change follows Arm’s deprecation of MbedOS, which has historically powered some of our cores. By adopting ZephyrOS, we are introducing a more modern, scalable, and feature-rich RTOS that aligns with the evolving needs of the embedded development community. This ensures that Arduino users have access to a robust, actively maintained platform for creating advanced applications. o ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ XIAO_Series_Adopts_Nordic_nRF54L15_SoC_with_BLE 6.0_and_Low_Power_Operation⠀⇛ Seeed Studio has introduced the XIAO nRF54L15 and XIAO nRF54L15 Sense, two compact boards based on Nordic’s nRF54L15 SoC. They support BLE 6.0, Matter, Thread, and other 2.4 GHz protocols, with potential use in wearables, sensors, and prototypes. o ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Waveshare_Expands_ESP32-P4_Platform_with_Compact PoE-Ready_DEV-KIT_Variant⠀⇛ Waveshare has introduced the ESP32-P4-WIFI6-DEV-KIT, a new variant of its ESP32-P4 development platform featuring a more compact and integrated layout compared to the earlier ESP32-P4-WIFI6 board. Both models are based on the ESP32-P4 dual-core RISC-V MCU and incorporate the ESP32-C6 to enable Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 (BLE) connectivity via an SDIO 3.0 interface. o ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Fruit_Jam_Mini_Computer_Features_RP2350B,_ESP32-C6 WiFi,_and_DVI_Video⠀⇛ First seen earlier this year, Adafruit has officially launched the Fruit Jam, a compact RP2350B-powered development board. The product mentions that it matches the dimensions of a standard credit card, 3.375 by 2.125 inches (ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1), while providing the functionality of a miniature standalone computer. * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ FPGA-based_Modos_Paper_Dev_Kit_supports_a_wide range_of_E-Ink_displays,_up_to_75_Hz_refresh_rate_(Crowdfunding)⠀⇛ Modos Paper Dev Kit helps users create an open-hardware E-Ink monitor with a fast 75 Hz refresh rate and low latency thanks to a Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA driver board, and compatibility with a wide and of E-Ink displays between 4-inch and 42-inch in size. The resulting grayscale or color E-ink monitor can be connected through HDMI or USB and works on Linux, macOS, and Windows. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Robot_Controller_With_The_Compute_Module_5⠀⇛ The regular Raspberry Pi line is a flexible single-board computer, but sometimes you might find yourself wishing for a form factor that was better designed for installation into a greater whole. This is why the Compute Module variants exist. Indeed, leveraging that intention, [Hans Jørgen Grimstad] has used the powerful Compute Module 5 as the heart of his “Overlord” robot controller. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Portable_12_VDC_Water_Chiller_For_The_Chemistry Lab⠀⇛ Having a chiller is often essential for the chemistry laboratory, but what if you’re somewhere without easy access to water, nevermind a mains outlet to plug your usual chiller into? In that case you can build a portable one that will happily run off the 12 VDC provided by a mobile source like the accessory outlet in a car while reusing the water from its reservoir, as demonstrated by [Markus Bindhammer] in a recent video. o ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Opening_the_box:_Tools_to_teach_young_people_about AI⠀⇛ Learn how an innovative no-code platform developed in Finland is helping students explore AI in creative, practical ways. o ⚓ Purism ☛ AI_and_Data_Privacy_Under_Scrutiny⠀⇛ Let’s be clear—this isn’t just a technical footnote. It’s a seismic shift in how we must think about AI, data ownership, and digital consent. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ 2025_One_Hertz_Challenge:_Square_Waves_The_Way_You Want_‘Em⠀⇛ On an old fashioned bench a signal generator was once an indispensable instrument, but has now largely been supplanted by the more versatile function generator. Sometimes there’s a less demanding need for a clock signal though, and one way that might be served comes from [Rupin Chheda]’s square wave generator. It’s a small PCB designed to sit at the end of a breadboard and provide handy access to a range of clocks. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ 2025_One_Hertz_Challenge:_An_Animated_Ferrofluid Display⠀⇛ Ferrofluid is fun. You’ve probably seen all kinds of demos with it bouncing around in response to magnetic fields, or dancing near a speaker. [beastie417] decided to turn the entertaining fluid into a display. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Automated_Rubbish_Removal_System⠀⇛ The hackers over at [HTX Studio] built a set of twenty trash cans which can automatically catch and remove rubbish. * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Qt ☛ Qt_Tools_for_Android_Studio_4.1_Released⠀⇛ Qt Tools for Android Studio version 4.1 is out! It can be downloaded from the JetBrains_marketplace.  ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1721 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/07/LWN_Articles_About_Linux_Kernel.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/07/LWN_Articles_About_Linux_Kernel.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ LWN Articles About Linux Kernel⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 07, 2025 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Some_6.16_development_statistics⠀⇛ The 6.16 development cycle was another busy one, with 14,639 non-merge changesets pulled into the mainline — just 18 commits short of the total for 6.15. The 6.16 release happened on July 27, as expected. Also as expected, LWN has put together its traditional look at where the code for this release came from. Work on 6.16 came from 2,057 developers, a reasonably high number relative to previous releases. Of those, though, 310 contributed their first patch to the kernel this time around, the highest new-contributor rate since the release of 6.12 (335 new developers) in late 2024. * ⚓ LWN ☛ A_proxy-execution_baby_step⠀⇛ Priority inversion comes about when a low-priority task holds a resource that is also needed by a high-priority task, preventing the latter from running. This problem is made much worse if the low-priority task is unable to gain access to the CPU and, as a result, cannot complete its work and free the resources it holds. Proxy execution is a potential solution to this problem, but it is a complex solution that has been under development for several years; LWN first looked at it in 2020. The 6.17 kernel is likely to contain an important step forward for this long-running project. The classic solution for priority inversion is priority inheritance; if a high-priority task finds itself blocked on a lock, it lends its priority to the lock holder, allowing the holder to progress and release the lock. Linux implements priority inheritance for the realtime scheduling classes, but that approach is not really applicable to the normal scheduling classes (where priorities are far more dynamic) or the deadline class (which has no priorities at all). So taking a different tack is called for. That tack is proxy execution. While priority inheritance donates a task's priority to another, proxy execution also donates the waiting task's available CPU time. In short, if a high-priority ("donor") task finds itself waiting on a lock, the lock holder (the "proxy") is allowed to run in its place, using the donor's time on the CPU to get its work done. It is a relatively simple idea, but the implementation is anything but. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Extending_run-time_verification_for_the_kernel⠀⇛ There are a lot of things people expect the Linux kernel to do correctly. Some of these are checked by testing or static analysis; a few are ensured by run-time verification: checking a live property of a running Linux system. For example, the scheduler has a handful of different correctness properties that can be checked in this way. Nam Cao posted a patch series that aims to extend the kinds of properties that the kernel's run-time verification system can check, by adding support for linear temporal logic (LTL). The patch set has seen eleven revisions since the first version in March 2025, and recently made it into the linux-next tree, from where it seems likely to reach the mainline kernel soon. Run-time analysis is present everywhere in the kernel; lockdep, for example, is a kind of run-time verification. But instrumenting the whole kernel for each kind of verification that people may want to perform is infeasible. The run-time verification subsystem allows for tracking more complex properties by hooking into the kernel's existing tracing infrastructure. For example, run-time verification can be used to ensure that a system schedules tasks correctly; there are options to ensure that task switches only occur during a call to __schedule(), that the scheduler is called in a context where it is safe to do so, and various other properties of the scheduler interface that depend on the global state of the system. Each property that is checked in this way is represented by a per-CPU or per-task state machine called a monitor. Tracing events drive the transitions in these machines. If they ever reach an error state, the kernel can be configured to log an error message or panic. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Rethinking_the_Linux_cloud_stack_for_confidential_VMs [Ed: Fake security, more restrictions, not confidentiality but remote controls of GAFAM]⠀⇛ There is an inherent limit to the privacy of the public cloud. While Linux can isolate virtual machines (VMs) from each other, nothing in the system's memory is ultimately out of reach for the host cloud provider. To accommodate the most privacy- conscious clients, confidential computing protects the memory of guests, even from hypervisors. But the Linux cloud stack needs to be rethought in order to host confidential VMs, juggling two goals that are often at odds: performance and security. Isolation is one of the most effective ways to secure the system by containing the impact of buggy or compromised software components. That's good news for the cloud, which is built around virtualization — a design that fundamentally isolates resources within virtual machines. This is achieved through a combination of hardware-assisted virtualization, system-level orchestration (like KVM, the hypervisor integrated into the kernel), and higher-level user-space encapsulation. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1852 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/07/ONLYOFFICE_Adds_an_AI_Agent_to_Help_You_Work_Effortlessly.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/07/ONLYOFFICE_Adds_an_AI_Agent_to_Help_You_Work_Effortlessly.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ ONLYOFFICE Adds an “AI Agent” to Help You Work “Effortlessly”⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 07, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇The_agent_bar_in_ONLYOFFICE_9.0.4_(note:_GullOS_does_not exist)⦈_ Quoting: ONLYOFFICE Adds an "AI Agent" to Help You Work "Effortlessly" - OMG!

This means what you used to ship in a quarter you now ship in a week and a half. These numbers should make even the truest AI believer pause. The amount of product ideation, story point negotiation, bugfixing, code review, waiting for deployments, testing, and QA in that go into what was traditionally 3 months of work is now getting done in 7 work days?

In the talk, entitled "You don't have to be a compiler engineer to work on Python", she had lots of ideas for those who might be thinking about contributing and are wondering how to do so. She noted that she had recently gotten married and changed her last name from "Ostrowski"; she is ""a bit in-between last names right now"", she said with a chuckle. Most recently, she has been contributing to the new just-in-time (JIT) compiler for CPython, including as a co-author of PEP 744 ("JIT Compilation"). She is also the maintainer of the argparse module in the standard library, which attendees may ""know, use, love, [or] hate"". She is the treasurer for the governing board of the Jupyter Foundation and her day job is to work on Python developer experience at Snowflake. As a mostly self- taught developer, she does not have a computer-science degree, which is something that she ""used to be very self-conscious about"" but now sees as a strength. Most importantly, ""I am a cat mom of three"", complete with a photo of said cats and predictable reactions from the audience. ""What's a keynote without a cat picture?"" That question started something of a competition throughout EuroPython, featuring more cats, naturally, but also dogs, ferrets, and other pets. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣼⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠂⠀⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⡄⠀⣤⡀⠀⠀⢶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣶⣶⣿⣿⣦⣤⣦⣝⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⣿⣿⠻⢧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠺⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠿⠟⠛⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠟⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠛⠛⠻⠿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣄⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣤⣶⣦⣀⣽⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣷⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢠⠀⣴⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠟⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠸⠀⢿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠈⢿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⣘⣋⣙⣥⣤⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠢⡀⠀⠙⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣉⣩⣭⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠳⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠿⠃⠀⠀⣰⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⣤⣶⣤⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣶⠖⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⣤⣄⠀⠀⢿⣷⡄⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠨⠁⠀⠀⠒⠒⠚⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⢠⣤⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⢿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠁⠢⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣶⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠠⣼⣿⠋⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢆⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣶⣰⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣷⢏⣿⣿⡄⠉⢸⡇⠀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⢾⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⡘⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣠⡿⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣥⣤⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣄⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠗⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣠⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣼⣿⠰⡆⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣄⠀ ⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠘⠻⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2055 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/07/Red_Hat_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/07/Red_Hat_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 07, 2025 * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ My_Experience_with_the_Red_Hat_Academy_Program⠀⇛ The Red Hat Academy program provides the essential context to build a solid knowledge base in Linux, cloud, and developer tools for both students and universities, not only reducing the technical skills gap but also preparing them for the challenges of the job market.

How_to_Install_Lazarus_on_FunOS⠀⇛ If you’re looking for a powerful and free Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to create desktop applications with a graphical user interface, Lazarus is a great choice. Lazarus is based on the Free Pascal Compiler and provides a Delphi-like development experience, complete with a drag-and- drop form designer and support for cross-platform development. * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ 5_command_line_backup_tools_every_Linux_user_should_use_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. * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Intro_to_Redis_and_PostgreSQL_in_Red_Bait_SAP environments⠀⇛ This article demonstrates how Redis and PostgreSQL work together to provide caching for improved SQL query performance. This will be useful for SAP and Red Bait administrators supporting SAP deployments who are new to Redis and PostgreSQL and may have applications using these databases running alongside SAP ERP applications. ✐ Background⠀✐ A common database used by the SAP business suite of applications in Linux environments is SAP_HANA.

Now we will use this CA to create working S/ MIME certificates to send and receive signed/encrypted eMails. These certificates houdl work in almost every eMail client, I have tested with Thunderbird, Evolution, MacOS Mail and iPhone. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ My_approach_to_testing_new_versions_of_Exim_for our_mail_servers⠀⇛ When I wrote about how Exim's ${run ...} string expansion operator changed how it did quoting, I (sort of) mentioned that I found this when I tested a new version of Exim. Some people would do testing like this in a thorough, automated manner, but I don't go that far. Instead I have a written down test plan, with some resources set up for it in advance. Well, it's more accurate to say that I have test plans, because I have a separate test plan for each of our important mail servers because they have different features and so need different things tested. * ⚓ Niels Cautaerts ☛ Quick_browsing_of_HTML_files_on_another_computer⠀⇛ Consider the following scenario: you are developing a Python package on a remote computer without a screen (e.g. an HPC cluster). You are working on Sphinx docs for this package. You build the docs and have some HTML files. How do you view them? There are essentially two easy ways. * ⚓ Angelino Desmet ☛ The_how_and_why_of_GitHub_to_Codeberg⠀⇛ Microsoft owns GitHub. Microsoft's ethically degenerate business practices such as lobbying and preinstallations are the only reasons why their products aren't superseded yet by the absurdly superior Linux alternatives; Windoze is a horrible OS, nay, malware, now also spyware by Windows Recall and AI Foie Gras'ing everything, even Notepad. Also, Microsoft's tax evasion. Microsoft is by no means alone in this. Nearly all big corporations such as Meta [Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp], Alphabet [Google], Apple, have succumbed to the most insidious disease being cancerous greed, and y'all know how we treat cancer: nuke it with chemotherapy. I could keep going, but that would make for an inappropriate tutorial no different from a tasteless joke as the one depicted below. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Textpattern_on_GNU/Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ Installing a content management system on Linux can seem daunting for beginners, but with the right guidance, setting up Textpattern on Linux Mint 22 becomes straightforward. This comprehensive guide walks you through every step of the installation process, from system preparation to final configuration. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_ISPConfig_on_AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ Setting up a robust web hosting control panel on a reliable GNU/Linux distribution requires careful planning and execution. ISPConfig stands out as one of the most versatile and feature-rich open-source control panels available today. When paired with AlmaLinux 10, it creates a powerful hosting solution that rivals commercial alternatives. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Zabbix_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Zabbix stands as one of the most powerful open-source monitoring solutions available today, offering comprehensive network infrastructure monitoring capabilities for enterprises and organizations of all sizes. This enterprise-class monitoring platform enables system administrators and DevOps engineers to track server performance, monitor virtual machines, and oversee network devices with unprecedented precision and reliability. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_phpMyAdmin_on_Rocky_GNU/Linux_10⠀⇛ phpMyAdmin stands as one of the most popular web-based database administration tools for MySQL and MariaDB servers.

July 27th was supposed to be the “Board Hack Day” (yay?… policy hackfest? everyone’s favourite?), but it ended up consumed with more immediately pressing issues. Somewhat unfortunate, really, as I think we were all looking forward to removing the executive tasks from the Board project wall and boiling their work down to more strategic and policy work. I suppose we’ll just have to do that throughout the year. Many people are on vacation right now, so the Foundation feels somewhat quiet in its post- GUADEC moment. Budget planning is happening. Doozers are doozering. The forest gnomes are probably taking a nap. There’s a lot of annoying paperwork being shuffled around. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Smaller_Fedora_quality_team_proposes_cuts⠀⇛ Fedora's quality team is looking to reduce the scope of test coverage and change the project's release criteria to drop some features from the list of release blockers. This is, in part, an exercise in getting rid of criteria, such as booting from optical media, that are less relevant. It is also a necessity, since the Red Hat team focusing on Fedora quality assurance (QA) is only half the size it was a year ago. The team is responsible for a host of activities which include testing of software, running test days, maintaining tools for test automation, and coordinating the Fedora release process with the release engineering team. The quality team is composed of Red Hat employees and Fedora community contributors, but it is fair to say that the bulk of the team's work is done by those employed to by Red Hat. Unfortunately, according to an announcement by Kamil Páral, a member of the team, there is a somewhat urgent need to reduce its workload. Six out of ten Red Hat employees who had been working on the team have chosen to move to other teams within Red Hat over the past nine months, or have left Red Hat altogether. Only one new person has joined the team. Páral pointed out in the announcement that this was not the result of a layoff or intentional reduction of the quality team; he said that the moves were ""truly decisions of our colleagues"", some of whom opted to move to AI-focused roles or other jobs within Red Hat. * § Security⠀➾ o ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ NVIDIA_say_no_to_adding_backdoors_and killswitches_in_their_GPUs⠀⇛ NVIDIA have released a blog post from chief security officer, fighting back against attempts from pundits and policymakers in governments wanting backdoors. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3060 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/07/Ubuntu_24_04_3_LTS_Is_Now_Available_for_Download_Powered_by_Lin.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/07/Ubuntu_24_04_3_LTS_Is_Now_Available_for_Download_Powered_by_Lin.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS Is Now Available for Download Powered by Linux Kernel 6.14⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Aug 07, 2025, updated Aug 07, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Ubuntu_24.04.3_LTS⦈_ Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS comes six months after Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS as an up-to-date installation media for those who wish to deploy the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) operating system on new computers without having to download hundreds of updated packages from the repositories after the installation. Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS is powered by Linux kernel 6.14 and the Mesa 25.0 graphics stacks from the newer Ubuntu 25.04 (Plucky Puffin) release. Ubuntu 24.04 and Ubuntu 24.04.1 both shipped with Linux kernel 6.8, and Ubuntu 24.04.2 shipped with Linux kernel 6.11, so the newer kernel should offer support for newer hardware.

Far from it. One, you're less likely to be pestered by pointless and nonsense upgrade nags. Two, various enterprise versions of Windows 10 will persist and remain supported until 2031/2, perhaps even longer. With 50% of all Windows boxes still running this version, you can bet your left kidney there will be awesome software and game support for the '10 for many years to come. Three, with good hardening and smart browsing, you're not in any great danger. If compliance is what bothers you, then you can try Linux, for free, and with minimal changes. With virtualization in place, you can merely add to your setup, lose no functionality, and even gain security. For that matter, if you need to do "risky" browsing, do it in a special Linux virtual machine. If you make a mistake there, and there's no personal data inside, no big deal. Erase it, revert to an older snapshot, whatever. For that matter, even if you use Windows 11, if you spin up Linux guests, you will gain on security! My testing over the past three years is positive. Linux never tripped the alarm sensors doing online things and services. Browsers did, on the other hand. Since many (crappy) sites are coded for Chromium only, similar to the situation we had with Internet Explorer 6 back in the day, some online services may fail in Firefox. But not because of Linux. Because of bad programming, and the browser requirements. And since all modern browsers work fine in Linux, this shouldn't be an issue. I even tested security hardware token passthrough in VirtualBox, and that worked like magic. Personal experience. And those are your options for October 2025. Security hardening, smart use, virtualization, up-to-date browser, and you don't need to pay a tithe to Microsoft, or use its pointless Windows 11 system. You can be compliant and secure. In fact, by mixing Linux into the equation, you can be more secure than Windows alone can ever do. So, lament not, keep your Windows 10 boxen if you want or need to, and just do some extra work and experimentation with Linux. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
