█▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Canonical/Ubuntu Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 20, 2025 * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_Blog:_A_journey_of_a_thousand_smiles:_Questing_Quokka⠀⇛ Embarking on a quest can be serious business – whether you’re going off on a family holiday or traveling the hills of Britain in search of the holy grail, our focus is very much affixed to the finish line. Every year, nearly 1 million people from across the globe pack their bags and trek thousands of kilometers to a small island off the west coast of Australia. Rottenest, in Dutch meaning “The Rat’s Nest”, is home to not a rodent, but a peculiar little marsupial: the quokka. These perpetually grinning little creatures have lived on this majestic slice of land for millennia and have recently become a bit of a sensation in the age of social control media.  * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ AMD_SEV-SNP_host_support_available_on_Ubuntu_25.04 [Ed: Fake security or outsourced back doors disguised as privacy]⠀⇛ This makes Ubuntu the first production-grade Linux distribution to support AMD SEV-SNP from host to guest. No out-of-tree patches, no experimental builds: it all works out of the box. With this, you can now deploy confidential virtual machines (CVMs) on entirely Ubuntu-based stacks, in private clouds, or on bare metal nodes in public clouds.  In this blog, we will zoom into AMD SEV-SNP and how it helps you protect your workloads at the hardware level with confidential computing. * ⚓ Ubuntu Fridge ☛ The_Fridge:_Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_Issue_905⠀⇛ Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue 905 for the week of August 10 – 16, 2025. The full version of this issue is available here. * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Canonical_is_now_a_platinum_member_in_the_Open_Source_Robotics Alliance⠀⇛ Canonical remains committed to the future of ROS. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and 22.04 LTS are Tier-1 platforms for ROS 2 (including Jazzy and the forthcoming Kilted release), and with each new ROS 2 cycle, we will continue to prepare, validate, and maintain timely packages on Ubuntu. Through initiatives like Expanded Security Maintenance for ROS (ESM for ROS), Canonical has helped lead the way in securing ROS for enterprise use, delivering long-term security updates for ROS releases. Alongside Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Core –  a minimal, secure, and strictly confined OS – has supported companies deploying ROS at scale, helping them meet industrial standards in factories and beyond. * ⚓ XDA ☛ WSL2_isn't_perfect,_but_it's_the_perfect_amount_of_Linux_for_most people [Ed: Something isn't the same days after this publisher took Microsoft money; this is Windows promotion]⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 240 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/20/EasyOS_Development_Updates_and_Milestones.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/20/EasyOS_Development_Updates_and_Milestones.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ EasyOS Development Updates and Milestones⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 20, 2025 * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Another_step_to_avoid_hang_at_bootup⠀⇛ Look back at the blog posts over the last few weeks, to see issues with freezing at bootup tackled. After the release of Easy 7.0, there is still random hanging, that required pressing of the power-off button and a reboot. It may be now that the final step has been taken to fix this. EasyOS has the simple busybox init (with pup_event service management) and runs /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit prior to login. Both the init and login operations are provided by busybox. * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ AnyDesk_works_but_slow_startup⠀⇛ EasyOS Excalibur has an entry for AnyDesk in the Network menu category. This is what we call an "orange ball" menu entry, a package that is not yet installed. Choosing it in the menu, it will install and be run as user "anydesk". * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Invalid_aufs_whiteout_files⠀⇛ The guys have been discussing this on the forum, for example: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=154961#p154961 Yes, aufs lacks diligence, leaves behind whiteout files that are no longer needed. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 294 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/20/Fooyin_0_9_Music_Player_Arrives_with_Artwork_Downloads_Synced_L.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/20/Fooyin_0_9_Music_Player_Arrives_with_Artwork_Downloads_Synced_L.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Fooyin 0.9 Music Player Arrives with Artwork Downloads, Synced Lyrics⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 20, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Fooyin_0.9⦈_ Quoting: Fooyin 0.9 Music Player Arrives with Artwork Downloads, Synced Lyrics — Ten months after the 0.8 release, Fooyin, a music player built around customization and currently available only for Linux, has released its new 0.9 version, which delivers some long-requested features. Artwork improvements are one of the main highlights. Fooyin can finally handle embedded artwork changes, download missing covers, and display track-specific images more consistently. Alongside that, a handy settings option makes it easier to manage the disk cache and clear it when needed. Lyrics support is another major addition in this release. The player can now find, save, and edit synced lyrics, a much-needed feature that brings Fooyin closer to competing with bigger names in the desktop music player space. On top of that, playlists also get smarter, with autoplaylists, queue/play-next actions, and better search filtering within the current playlist.

Using it, you can pull one or more messages on demand, peruse through them in a list, and, if needed, persist them to your local filesystem. kplay can display messages via two interfaces: a TUI or a webpage This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Moulti_-_assign_visual_collapsible_blocks_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Moulti changes the way your shell scripts (bash, zsh, etc.) display their output in your terminal. Moulti enables you to assign the numerous lines emitted by your scripts to “steps”, i.e. visual, collapsible blocks featuring their own title and color. Moulti is a tool meant for people who write and execute shell scripts and/or Ansible playbooks. Specifically, if you find yourself scrolling up your terminal to ensure everything went fine while your script is still running, then Moulti is made for you. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ fooyin_v0.9.1_is_released_-_the_best_open_source_music_player_gets better_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ fooyin is a customisable music player that strongly resembles foobar2000. Unlike foobar2000, fooyin is open source and available for Linux. I’ve written a few articles about this music player in the past although not for a while. That’s simply because it’s been almost a year since a new release. That’s not a criticism, just a reflection that real-life commitments can impede the development of open source software when it’s almost exclusively developed by a single individual. * ⚓ nbpreview_-_terminal_viewer_for_Jupyter_notebooks_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ nbpreview is a terminal viewer for Jupyter notebooks. It’s like cat for ipynb files. nbpreview has only one required argument—FILE—which expects a Jupyter notebook (.ipynb) file path. FILE is a flexible argument.

The update also makes it easier to organize and search feeds, thanks to new sorting options by category or feed title, and a search operator (c:) that allows filtering by categories.

But for now, I thought I’d focus on the things I miss most about macOS. * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux_Matters_#62:_Mirrors,_Motors_and_Makefiles⠀⇛ Alan prepares for the inevitable by mirroring Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub to Forgejo], Martin sidesteps complexity with Just, and Mark gives his first thoughts on the VW ID.3. * § Kernel Space⠀➾ o ⚓ Peter_Hutterer:_Why_is_my_device_a_touchpad_and_a_mouse_and_a keyboard?⠀⇛ If you have spent any time around HID devices under GNU/ Linux (for example if you are an avid mouse, touchpad or keyboard user) then you may have noticed that your single physical device actually shows up as multiple device nodes (for free! and nothing happens for free these days!). * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ Board_game_nights_are_my_favourite_way_to socialise_and_make_new_friends⠀⇛ I always carry some games with me when I leave home because every day is an opportunity to meet new people to play games with.

I’m working on an interesting project this month, related to open source GNU/Linux operating systems. Actually I’m not working on it this week, I’m instead battling with vinyl floor tiles. Don’t let anyone tell you they are easy to fit. But I think on the 5th attempt I’ve got the technique. The wooden mallet is essential. When I started these “status update” posts, back in 2021, I imagined they’d be to talk about open technology projects I was working on, mixed with a bit of music and art and so on. In fact I write more about politics these days. Let me explain why. In my book_review earlier this year I mentioned economics dude Gary Stevenson.

Or maybe you’ve already been distro-hopping and still haven’t found the perfect fit? Here’s my personal ranking of the nine Arch-based distros I think are worth your time—based on real-world testing and my own preferences. Arch Linux has earned the love of power users for its cutting-edge updates and minimal base, letting you build a personalized operating system from the ground up. Most Arch-based distros either preserve that minimalism while reducing complexity, or they go all-in on power, performance, and extra features. After testing many options, these nine stood out—and here’s how I’d rank them according to my needs and workflow.

CRLite makes your browsing faster, more private, and more secure, and is a significant advancement to the state of the art for encryption on the internet. * ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Hacks.Mozilla.Org:_CRLite:_Fast,_private,_and_comprehensive certificate_revocation_checking_in_Firefox [Ed: Mozilla priming itself for mass censorship by CAs, which is very obviously dangerous and ripe for abuse; iophk: "I don't know enough about it (or haven't analyzed it enough) to say for sure. But Mozilla seems to be making so many mistakes that it almost seems to be a plan of theirs."]⠀⇛ Firefox is now the first and the only browser to deploy fast and comprehensive certificate revocation checking that does not reveal your browsing activity to anyone (not even to Mozilla). Tens of millions of TLS server certificates are issued each day to secure communications between browsers and websites. These certificates are the cornerstones of ubiquitous_encryption and a key part of our vision for the web. While a certificate can be valid for up to 398 days, it can also be revoked at any point in its lifetime. A revoked certificate poses a serious security risk and should not be trusted to authenticate a server. * ⚓ Firefox_Developer_Experience:_Firefox_WebDriver_Newsletter_142 [Ed: Why was WebDriver outsourced to Microsoft's proprietary software trap? This makes no sense.]⠀⇛ WebDriver is a remote control interface that enables introspection and control of user agents. As such it can help developers to verify that their websites are working and performing well with all major browsers. The protocol is standardized by theW3C and consists of two separate specifications:WebDriver_classic (HTTP) and the new WebDriver BiDi (Bi-Directional).This newsletter gives an overview of the work we’ve done as part of the Firefox 142 release cycle. § Contributions Firefox is an open source project, and we are always happy to receive external code contributions to our WebDriver implementation. We want to give special thanks to everyone who filed issues, bugs and submitted patches. * ⚓ Tor ☛ New_Release:_Tor_Browser_14.5.6_|_The_Tor_Project⠀⇛ Tor Browser 14.5.6 is now available from the Tor Browser download page and also from our distribution directory. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1247 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/20/Open_Hardware_Modding_Raspberry_Pi_and_Radxa_Cubie_A7A.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/20/Open_Hardware_Modding_Raspberry_Pi_and_Radxa_Cubie_A7A.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: Raspberry Pi and Radxa Cubie A7A⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 20, 2025 * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Pico2-Ice_development_board_combines_Raspberry_Pi RP2350B_with_Lattice_iCE40UP5K_FPGA⠀⇛ tinyVision.ai has recently released the second-generation ot its open-source hardware pico-ice FPGA development board, upgrading the Raspberry Pi RP2040 to the newer RP2350B along with dedicated user LEDs and buttons for both the MCU and the FPGA. The Pico2-Ice also exposes the RP2350B’s HSTX interface through a 22-pin connector, while keeping the same Lattice iCE40UP5K FPGA. The onboard iCE40UP5K FPGA features 5.3k LUTs, 1 MB SPRAM, and 120 KB DPRAM, along with 4MB SPI flash and 8MB low-power PSRAM. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Radxa_Cubie_A7A_is_a_powerful_SBC_based_on_Allwinner A733_Cortex-A76/A55_Hey_Hi_(AI)_SoC_with_up_to_16GB_RAM⠀⇛ Radxa Cubie A7A is a single board computer (SBC) powered by an Allwinner A733 octa-core Cortex-A76/A55 SoC with a 3 TOPS Hey Hi (AI) accelerator and up to 16GB LPDDR5 memory. Radxa came back to the Allwinner SoC family after the silicon vendor committed to improving open-source support, starting with the Radxa Cubie A5E SBC powered by an Allwinner A527/T527 SoC. But this was only the start, and we were promised a more powerful Allwinner A733 SBC before moving to the Allwinner A838 down the road. * ⚓ Erich_Eickmeyer:_Raspberry_Pi_as_a_Networked_Audio_Interface⠀⇛ I haven’t posted for quite some time, and a lot has happened. For instance, my wife revived Edubuntu and my work with Ubuntu Studio now spans over 7 years. Recently, I became the proud owner of a Behringer X-Air XR18. This became the key to opening a new business, which I’ll announce at a later date.

This is one of those examples, where we optionally return something with guard-sequence. * ⚓ Keith Harrison ☛ Swift_Raw_Identifiers⠀⇛ Swift constant and variable identifier names cannot contain certain characters such as whitespace or mathematical symbols. They also cannot begin with a number. Swift 6.2 implements SE- 0451 which allows us to relax those rules by surrounding the identifier name with backticks. There’s a couple of cases where I might find that useful: [...] * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Lisp_In_99_Lines_Of_C_With_TinyLisp⠀⇛ As one of the oldest programming languages still in common use today, and essential for the first wave of Artificial Intelligence research during the 1950s and 60s, Lisp is often the focus of interpreters that can run on very low-powered systems. Such is the case with [Robert van Engelen]’s TinyLisp, which only takes 99 lines of C code and happily runs on the Z80-based Sharp PC-G850V(S) pocket computer with its 2.3 kB of internal RAM and native C support. * ⚓ Qt ☛ Introducing_the_Qt_Certification_Testing_Platform_–_Your_Path_to Validating_Qt_Expertise⠀⇛ * ⚓ Qt ☛ Qt_6.8_RTOS_Update⠀⇛ It’s been a while since our last RTOS support update so we wanted to make you aware of our recent enhancements regarding our RTOS feature set. We today support QNX, INTEGRITY as well as VxWorks on Qt 6.8 and have updates for each. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Handling_Missing_Data_in_R:_A_Comprehensive_Guide⠀⇛ Missing data is one of the most common challenges in data analysis and statistical modeling.

Continue reading: Handling Missing Data in R: A Comprehensive Guide * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Affordable_Shiny_app_hosting_for_500_concurrent_users⠀⇛ Cloud providers are no longer just offering traditional x86- based servers, ARM-based servers are now becoming a serious alternative. And for good reason: they’re often far more cost-effective and power-efficient than their x86 counterparts. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Python_usage_growing_while_Foundation_struggles for_funds⠀⇛ The actual survey took place in late 2024, and the raw data we downloaded has closer to 29,000 responses, but the discrepancy could be from the PSF filtering the results to remove spam and under-18s. 72 percent of respondents use Python for work, the rest being educational or hobbyist developers. o ⚓ LWN ☛ Preventing_domain-resurrection_attacks_(PyPI_blog)⠀⇛ The Python Package Index (PyPI) has announced that it is now checking for expired domains to try to prevent domain-resurrection attacks. In this type of attack, a malicious user buys an expired domain and uses it to take over an account by resetting the password associated with the email used with PyPI. Since June, PyPI has unverified more than 1,800 email addresses after their associated domains entered expiration phases. o ⚓ Python Package Index ☛ Preventing_Domain_Resurrection_Attacks⠀⇛ PyPI user accounts are linked to email addresses. Email addresses are tied to domain names; domain names can expire if unpaid, and someone else can purchase them. During PyPI account registration, users are required to verify their email addresses by clicking a link sent to the email address provided during registration. This verification ensures the address is valid and accessible to the user, and may be used to send important account- related information, such as password reset requests, or for PyPI Admins to use to contact the user. PyPI considers the account holder's initially verified email address a strong indicator of account ownership. Coupled with a form of Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), this helps to further secure the account. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Rust Blog ☛ The_Rust_Programming_Language_Blog:_Demoting_x86_64- apple-darwin_to_Tier_2_with_host_tools⠀⇛ In Rust 1.90.0, the target x86_64-apple-darwin will be demoted to Tier 2 with host tools. The standard library and the compiler will continue to be built and distributed, but automated tests of these components are no longer guaranteed to be run. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ Teleport ☛ ISO_27001:2022_Requirements_Explained_for_2025⠀⇛ ISO/IEC 27001:2022 provides a framework for managing information security using an Information Security Management System (ISMS). The October 2025 deadline to upgrade from the previous ISO 27001:2013 standard is coming fast, and organizations yet to transition risk losing their certification. Maintaining ISO/IEC 27001 certification is especially relevant for regulated industries, SaaS providers with enterprise customers, and global organizations handling sensitive data. In this blog, we break down ISO 27001 requirements in 2025, what’s changed from 2013 to 2022, and how Teleport can help simplify ISO compliance and accelerate the journey to new or re-certification. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1497 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/20/Red_Hat_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/20/Red_Hat_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 20, 2025 * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ More_than_meets_the_eye:_Behind_the_scenes_of_Red Hat_Enterprise_Linux_10⠀⇛ At Red Hat Summit 2025, we announced the latest version of the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 10. This release was much more than a few minor enhancements or feature additions; RHEL 10 delivers AI-powered Linux management, post-quantum cryptography capabilities and containers as the native language of the operating system. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Hope,_crash,_iterate:_One_PM’s_journey_to_make enterprise_library_content_searchable,_findable,_and_useful_-_Part_4⠀⇛ This isn’t a teardown or a tutorial. It’s a field note, a reflection on what it actually takes to manage AI projects inside complex organizations, especially when the systems are messy, content is nuanced, and the use case isn’t clear. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Build_on_multi-arch_clusters_with_builds_for_Red_Bait OpenShift⠀⇛ In this article, we'll talk about the builds_for_Red_Bait OpenShift operator and how it simplifies building multi-arch builds on clusters with compute nodes of mixed architecture. This lets you create a single build object as opposed to separate builds for each architecture, as needed for the standard build/BuildConfig-based method in Red_Hat_OpenShift. The operator also takes care of creating and pushing a manifest list of the resulting images. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_enhance_Agent2Agent_(A2A)_security⠀⇛ Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol is an open_standard created_by Google for Hey Hi (AI) agents. An AI_agent is a system or program that can autonomously perform tasks on behalf of a user or another system. It does this by designing its own workflow and utilizing available tools to achieve its goal. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Getting_started_with_llm-d_for_distributed_Hey_Hi_(AI) inference⠀⇛ As large_language_models (LLMs) shift from static, training- bound knowledge recall to dynamic, inference-time reasoning, their supporting infrastructure must also evolve. Inference workloads are no longer just about throughput—they demand adaptive computation, modular scaling, and intelligent caching to deliver complex reasoning with real-world efficiency. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Smarter_memory_control_for_SQL_Server_on_RHEL_with_cgroup_v2 [Ed: Proprietary spyware from Microsoft, which does not even properly run on GNU/Linux]⠀⇛ If you're running Red_Hat_Enterprise_GNU/Linux_for_Abusive Monopolist_Microsoft_SQL_Server—especially in containers or Kubernetes—there's a nifty update you should know about. With SQL Server 2025 and SQL Server 2022 CU 20, Microsoft_has_added full_support for cgroup_v2, which is a big step forward for memory management on RHEL. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1585 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/20/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/20/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 20, 2025 * ⚓ SANS ☛ Increased_Elasticsearch_Recognizance_Scans,_(Tue,_Aug_19th)⠀⇛ I noticed an increase in scans that appear to try to identify Elasticsearch instances. Elasticsearch is not a new target. Its ability to easily store and manage JSON data, combined with a simple HTTP Hey Hi (AI) makes it a convenient tool to store data that is directly accessible from the browser via JavaScript. Elasticsearch has, in particular, been popular for consolidating log data, and the "ELK" (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) platform has been a very successful standard for open source log management. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Tuesday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (golang, openjpeg2, toolbox, and xterm), Debian (libxslt, mbedtls, openjdk-17, and webkit2gtk), Fedora (apptainer, mingw- gstreamer1, mingw-gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free, mingw- gstreamer1-plugins-base, mingw-gstreamer1-plugins-good, rust- h2, and uv), Oracle (golang, kernel, and openjpeg2), Red Hat (kernel and xterm), SUSE (389-ds, cairo, container-suseconnect, kernel, lua51-luajit, postgresql13, and trivy), and Ubuntu (linux, linux-aws, linux-aws-6.14, linux-gcp, linux-gcp-6.14, linux-oracle, linux-oracle-6.14, linux-raspi, linux-realtime and openldap). * ⚓ Tomasz_Torcz:_Leaving_BuyPass_as_an_ACME_provider⠀⇛ For a long time I've been using BuyPass as TLS certificates provider for ACME. Unfortunately they decided_to_disengage_from this_area_of_services. There are quite_a_few_ACME_providers. Some even look like they could replace BuyPass, which had two strong traits: it is based in Europe and was providing certificates valid for half a year. It looked like Actalis would be a good replacement. They're from Italy and have 1 year certificates, but available in paid plans only. * ⚓ Trail of Bits ☛ Marshal_madness:_A_brief_history_of_Ruby deserialization_exploits⠀⇛ This post traces the decade-long evolution of Ruby Marshal deserialization exploits, demonstrating how security researchers have repeatedly bypassed patches and why fundamental changes to the Ruby ecosystem are needed rather than continued patch-and-hope approaches. * § Windows TCO / Windows Bot Nets⠀➾ o ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ February_ransomware_attacks_hit_record_high_as ThreatDown_reports_25%_annual_surge⠀⇛ A new report out today from ThreatDown, the corporate business unit of Malwarebytes Inc., finds that ransomware attacks jumped 25% year-over-year between July 2024 and June 2025, making it the most active 12-month period on record. o ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ Zero-Day_Exploit_in_WinRAR_File⠀⇛ A zero-day vulnerability in WinRAR is being_exploited by at least two Russian criminal groups: The vulnerability seemed to have super backdoored Windows powers. It abused alternate data_streams, a backdoored Windows feature that allows different ways of representing the same file path. The exploit abused that feature to trigger a previously unknown path traversal flaw that caused WinRAR to plant malicious executables in attacker-chosen file paths %TEMP% and %LOCALAPPDATA%, which backdoored Windows normally makes off-limits because of their ability to execute code. More details in the article... * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ APNIC ☛ Reflecting_on_10_years_in_open_source_network_security: Lessons_from_FastNetMon⠀⇛ Ten years ago, I wrote the first lines of FastNetMon in my home lab, trying to detect volumetric Distributed Denial-of-Service DDoS attacks in a small data centre environment I was managing. What started as a proof-of- concept tool with hardcoded thresholds and no config file has since grown into a globally deployed open source DDoS detection system, shaped entirely by the needs and input of the network operator community. In this post, I want to reflect on two parallel journeys: How DDoS attacks have evolved over the last decade, and how the FastNetMon Community project has grown in response — from a homegrown script to a battle-tested detection platform trusted by ISPs, hosting providers, and enterprises. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1723 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/20/Social_Control_Networks_and_Drupal_Were_a_Waste_of_Time_a_Bubbl.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/20/Social_Control_Networks_and_Drupal_Were_a_Waste_of_Time_a_Bubbl.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Social Control Networks and Drupal Were a Waste of Time, a 'Bubble'⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 20, 2025, updated Aug 20, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Paint_Beautiful_of_Water_color_background⦈_ In July 2022 (apparently 15th of July was the first node or page added to "live") we moved away from Drupal (and thus from MySQL, PHP and so on). We've since then published original_articles and 35,673 Web pages in total (plus 35,690 GemText pages). Combined with the old archives (2004-2022) there are almost 300,000 Web pages and this past week we served 300,000-400,000 Web requests per day. Leaving social control media didn't have any noticeable impact on us [1, 2].

It is ideal for RHCE Ansible EX294 exam preparation. * ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Linux_for_DevOps:_Essential_GNU/Linux_Knowledge_for Cloud_and_DevOps_Engineer⠀⇛ Learn the essential concepts, command-line operations, and system administration tasks that form the backbone of GNU/Linux in the DevOps world. * ⚓ Kubernetes Blog ☛ Tuning_GNU/Linux_Swap_for_Kubernetes:_A_Deep_Dive⠀⇛ The Kubernetes NodeSwap_feature, likely to graduate to stable in the upcoming Kubernetes v1.34 release, allows swap usage: a significant shift from the conventional practice of disabling swap for performance predictability. This article focuses exclusively on tuning swap on GNU/Linux nodes, where this feature is available. By allowing GNU/Linux nodes to use secondary storage for additional virtual memory when physical RAM is exhausted, node swap support aims to improve resource utilization and reduce out-of-memory (OOM) kills. [...] § Visualizing swap in action The graph below, from a 100MBps stress test, shows swap in action. As free memory (in the "Memory Usage" plot) decreases, swap usage (Swap Used (GiB)) and swap-out activity (Swap Out (MiB/s)) increase. Critically, as the system relies more on swap, the I/O activity and corresponding wait time (IO Wait % in the "CPU Usage" plot) also rises, indicating CPU stress. § Findings My initial tests with default kernel parameters (swappiness=60, min_free_kbytes=68MB, watermark_scale_factor=10) quickly led to OOM kills and even unexpected node restarts under high memory pressure. With selecting appropriate kernel parameters a good balance in node stability and performance can be achieved. ⚓ The impact of swappiness⠀⇛ * ⚓ Roman Kashitsyn ☛ Tag-based_logging⠀⇛ In every large project I worked on, logging looked like a lost battle. The raw logs contained so much data that developers gave up on reading them. Instead, they dumped the logs into an indexing system (such as Grafana) and constructed elaborate queries to find the information they needed. This setup created a split between local and production environments, making local development painful. Our logging model has barely evolved in decades—it’s time for a change. This article proposes an alternative approach to logging that could alleviate the pain. * ⚓ Jim Nielsen ☛ Consistent_Navigation_Across_My_Inconsistent_Websites, Part_II⠀⇛ The implementation was pretty simple. I basically just forked my previous web component and changed some styles. That’s it. * ⚓ Ana Rodrigues ☛ Oh_Hello_Ana_-_My_pick_of_the_year_for_the_State_of_CSS Survey⠀⇛ The State of CSS Survey results recently came out and I was asked what I was my pick of the year in the CSS world and turns out I had an opinion. * ⚓ Ciprian Dorin Craciun ☛ [remark]_Individual_URL_compression_experiment initial_thoughts⠀⇛ I've made some experiments with compressing individual URLs, and I describe my initial observations (while comparing to standard compression algorithms). * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_to_Install_Fooyin_Music_Player_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Finding the perfect music player for GNU/Linux can be frustrating. Most applications either lack customization options or feel outdated compared to modern alternatives. Fooyin Music Player changes this narrative entirely, bringing foobar2000-style customization to GNU/Linux desktop environments. Fooyin represents a breakthrough in GNU/Linux audio software. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_RustDesk_on_Rocky_GNU/Linux_10⠀⇛ Remote desktop solutions have become essential for modern IT infrastructure, and RustDesk stands out as a powerful, open-source alternative to proprietary software.

This comprehensive guide will walk you through multiple methods to install Kdenlive on Debian 13, ensuring you can start creating professional-quality videos regardless of your technical expertise level. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Zulip_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Setting up a robust team communication platform is essential for modern organizations. Zulip stands out as a powerful open-source alternative to commercial chat solutions, offering threaded conversations that keep discussions organized and productive. This comprehensive guide walks you through installing Zulip server on Fedora 42, providing step-by-step instructions for system administrators and DevOps professionals. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Ventoy_on_openSUSE⠀⇛ Creating a multiboot USB drive has never been more essential for GNU/Linux enthusiasts, system administrators, and developers who work with multiple operating systems. Ventoy stands out as a revolutionary tool that allows users to create bootable USB drives without repeatedly formatting the storage device. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Set_Up_DHCP_Server_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Setting up a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is essential for efficient network management in modern IT environments. DHCP automates IP address assignment, eliminating manual configuration overhead while reducing network conflicts. Debian 13, with its robust stability and comprehensive package management, provides an ideal platform for deploying enterprise-grade DHCP services. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2469 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/20/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/20/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 20, 2025 * § Windows TCO / Windows Bot Nets⠀➾ o ⚓ The Record ☛ Drug_development_company_Inotiv_reports_ransomware attack_to_SEC⠀⇛ Inotiv told regulators at the Securities Exchange Commission that the cybersecurity incident was discovered on August 8 and a subsequent investigation found that threat actors had encrypted certain systems. o ⚓ Krebs On Security ☛ Oregon_Man_Charged_in_‘Rapper_Bot’_DDoS Service⠀⇛ A 22-year-old Oregon man has been arrested on suspicion of operating “Rapper Bot,” a massive botnet used to power a service for launching distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against targets — including a March 2025 DDoS that knocked Twitter/X offline. The Justice Department asserts the suspect and an unidentified co- conspirator rented out the botnet to online extortionists, and tried to stay off the radar of law enforcement by ensuring that their botnet was never pointed at KrebsOnSecurity. o ⚓ Threat Source ☛ Ransomware_incidents_in_Japan_during_the_first half_of_2025⠀⇛ Figure 1 summarizes the ransomware incidents involving Japanese domestic companies, including overseas branches and subsidiaries, from January 1 to June 30, 2025. According to the Cisco Talos investigation, there were 68 ransomware cases affecting organizations in Japan during this period. Sources include Cisco telemetry, official statements from affected companies, news reports and data from ransomware leak sites. Compared to 48 cases during the same period last year, this represents an approximately 1.4-fold increase. The number of incidents per month ranged from a minimum of 4 to a maximum of 16, with an average of about 11 ransomware attacks per month. o ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ February_ransomware_attacks_[sic]_hit_record_high as_ThreatDown_reports_25%_annual_surge⠀⇛ A new report out today from ThreatDown, the corporate business unit of Malwarebytes Inc., finds that ransomware attacks jumped 25% year-over-year between July 2024 and June 2025, making it the most active 12-month period on record. * § Debian Family⠀➾ o § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ # ⚓ Jan Piet Mens ☛ If_only_I'd_known_..._Debian_repo_signing⠀⇛ Next time I would probably also have a package containing keys only, as Ondřej suggested; this would doubtlessly ease distribution of new keys.

I was also on the fence. However, one thing that helped me reassure myself that Linux is a great choice is the option to test it before committing. § Windows 10 Is Coming to an End, Now What? If you’re still running Windows 10, the clock is ticking. Microsoft has announced that official support for the operating system will end on October 14, 2025. That means no more security updates, no bug fixes, and no new features. Your computer won’t suddenly stop working on that date, but using an unsupported OS is a bit like driving a car that never gets its brakes checked. It’ll keep going, but you’re taking on more risk. So, what happens next? For many people, the most obvious path is upgrading to Windows 11. That’s the smoothest transition if your PC meets Microsoft’s fairly strict hardware requirements. If it doesn’t, you could pay for a new Windows 11-ready machine. Some others may also continue to use Windows 10 after its End-of-Life. Some users decide to make a bigger leap, switching to macOS or buying a Chromebook for a fresh start. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ This_Linux_Workstation_Laptop_Has_an_RTX_5090_Inside⠀⇛ Kubuntu Focus, the manufacturer that makes Kubuntu Linux-only PCs, has announced a new workstation-level laptop, the Focus Zr Gen 1. The heavy-duty laptop is meant to be a desktop replacement with its dedicated GPU options. You can now configure your order for the first Focus Zr laptop with its 18-inch WQXGA LCD panel that supports 2560x1600 resolution and Nvidia's G-Sync. In terms of processing power, the Kubuntu-powered laptop contains an Intel Ultra 9 275HX with 24 cores and a maximum clock speed of 5.4GHz. You get to choose the Nvidia Geforce RTX 5080 that comes with 16GB of video RAM, or an additional $800 you can upgrade to the 5090 and its whopping 24GB VRAM total. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ GNOME's_Matrix_Messaging_App_Is_Getting_New_Features⠀⇛ Fractal, the Matrix client developed for the GNOME desktop environment, just got updated to version 12 today. It includes several new features and improvements you can try out as you talk to people across decentralized Matrix networks. Version 12 of Fractal replaces version 11.2, and this release makes several improvements to room management. You now have the ability to request invites to a room and to mark entire rooms as unread, for example. If you're not familiar with Matrix, a "room" is like what you'd call a channel on Discord or Slack. You can use a Matrix account to hang out in multiple rooms, switching between them using Fractal's interface. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Syncthing_2.0_Is_Here_to_Upgrade_Your_Cloud-less_File Synchronization⠀⇛ Syncthing, the cross-platform file synchronization tool that doesn’t need cloud storage, has finally released its big 2.0 update. The new version has some great performance and reliability improvements, updated terminal commands, and much more. Syncthing is a great way to keep your files synchronized between multiple computers, without using a centralized location like cloud storage or a NAS. The new 2.0 update has a few significant technical changes to improve performance and stability—it’s now using SQLite instead of LevelDB for the internal database, and deleted items are now deleted from the database after six months (by default) instead of staying in there for all time. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2734 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/20/Web_Browsers_Web_Servers_Web_Sites_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/20/Web_Browsers_Web_Servers_Web_Sites_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web Browsers/Web Servers/Web Sites Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 20, 2025 * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o ⚓ PC World ☛ A_reopened_lawsuit_might_make_ad_blockers_illegal_in Germany⠀⇛ The lawsuit was filed by publisher Axel Springer SE against ad-filtering software company Eyeo and it mainly concerns the browser extension Adblock Plus, which calls itself the “world’s #1 free ad blocker” and is used by millions to block ads on websites—including those owned by Axel Springer, like Politico and Business Insider. The lawsuit was originally dismissed by a Hamburg court, but according to the report, it’s now being reopened to examine whether the initial judgement was incorrect. After a detailed review, another court could even rule in favor of Axel Springer this time. o ⚓ MJ Fransen ☛ Moving_the_feed_from_index.rss_to_index.xml⠀⇛ Unfortunately, web browsers won't open a file with the extension "rss", but just offer to download it. Therefor I have to rename my RSS feed. o ⚓ Ben Werdmuller ☛ Why_I'm_all-in_on_Zen_Browser⠀⇛ I tried to love Dia, but I’m not bullish about it. It really has lost the power user features that made Arc special: the excellent tab sidebar is gone and profile switching is nowhere near as fluid. But it also has far more competition: Perplexity has introduced Comet, its own AI browser, and Chrome itself has built-in Gemini features. It’s not clear why Dia would do better. And ironically, The Browser Company now charges $20/month, the same amount I would gladly have paid for Arc. Unless The Browser Company has something amazing up its sleeve, I think it’s destined for an acquisition that might see features from its own products incorporated into someone else’s. * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ Joel Chrono ☛ On_changing_blogging_platforms_and_tools⠀⇛ Jekyll is one of the more traditional static site generators around, popularized because of its integration with GitHub pages and other hosting services, and because it’s simply really good at what it does. It’s not the only option of course, and people adopt and switch around from one place to another. There are other SSGs like Hugo, Eleventy, Pelican, or Zola, and even CMS software like Kirby. There are also blogging platforms that take away the hosting and maintenance and let you just write, such as Bearblog, Pika or Pagecord, for example. o ⚓ MWL ☛ Web_Site_Reorg⠀⇛ This organization doesn’t thrill me, but at my scale maintainability is paramount. For the curious, the page-building script is at https:// cdn.mwl.io/detritus/book-page-rebuild.pl . Why put it there and not on, say, github? One, github takes ICE money1. Two, github is increasingly poo. Third, if I put it in a more public place some daft bastard would try to use it. I would get demands for assistance and, worse, pull requests. Some even dafter bastard would claim that I had written a Static Site Generator and request co- maintainership for MWLSSG. (I understand that SSGs are trendy, but this is not an SSG. This is an ugly hack and, at best, a Static Page Generator.) ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2840 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/20/Windows_TCO_Microsoft_Breaks_Hardware_Through_Windows_Updates.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/20/Windows_TCO_Microsoft_Breaks_Hardware_Through_Windows_Updates.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Windows TCO: Microsoft Breaks Hardware Through Windows Updates⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 20, 2025 * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Latest_backdoored_Windows_11_security_patch_might_be breaking_SSDs_under_heavy_workloads_—_Phison_investigating_reports_of disappearing_drives_following_file_transfers,_including_some_that_cannot be_recovered_after_a_reboot⠀⇛ Windows users are reporting SSD issues following the latest backdoored Windows 11 security patch. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Out-of-band_update_arrives_to_clean_up_Windows_reset and_recovery_mess⠀⇛ Microsoft has moved swiftly to remove the bullet it fired into its own foot with the August 2025 Security Update reset and recovery bug.
