the_previous_post, we talked about the importance to have a flexible homelab with Proxmox, and set it up. Long story short, I only have a single physical server but I like to experiment with new setups regularly. Proxmox is a baremetal hypervisor: a piece of software that lets me spin up Virtual Machines on top of my server, to act as mini servers. Thanks to this set-up I can have a long-lived VM for my (single node) production k3s cluster, and I can spin up disposable VMs to experiment with, without impacting my production. But it's more complex to install Proxmox, spin up a VM, and install k3s on it, as compared to just installing Debian and k3s on my baremetal server. We have already automated the Proxmox install process. Let's now automate the VM provisioning and deploy k3s on it, to make it simple and easy to re- provision a fully functional Virtual Machine on top of Proxmox! In this post we will configure opentofu so it can ask Proxmox to spin up a new VM, use cloud-init to do the basic pre- configuration of the VM, and use ansible to deploy k3s on it. * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Improve_PKGget_sync_with_APT⠀⇛ PKGget is now a GUI frontend for APT; however, it is a long- term project, only partly complete. Today I discovered that APT wants the full 'less' utility; not happy with the busybox one. If you want to install it, APT won't, as I created an "equivs" 'less' .deb, which is an empty package that prevents APT from installing the real 'less' .deb The reason for doing this was that busybox provides the 'less' utility. * ⚓ Neovim_vs_Vim_Comparison_–_Which_is_a_better_Editor?⠀⇛ If you are looking for a powerful terminal-based emulator for a long time then Vim is your go-to software. It is deemed to be one of the oldest open-source projects. We have many good terminal editors such as Nano but they don’t lie close to Vim regarding functions, modes and extensibility. * ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ Newelle:_The_Hey_Hi_(AI)_Helper_App_for_Linux⠀⇛ With Newelle, you get the power of generative Hey Hi (AI) right on your GNU/Linux desktop—no cloud required (unless you want it).

No matter which Linux distribution one uses, the odds are that eventually the ArchWiki's documentation will prove useful. The Debian project recognized this and has sought to improve its own documentation game by inviting ArchWiki maintainers Jakub Klinkovský and Vladimir Lavallade to DebConf25 in Brest, France, to speak about how Arch manages its wiki. The talk has already borne fruit with the launch of an effort to revamp the Debian wiki. Klinkovský and Lavallade were introduced by Debian developer Thomas Lange, who said that he had the idea to invite the pair to DebConf. Klinkovský said that he had been a maintainer of the wiki since about 2014, and that he is also a package maintainer for Arch Linux. He added that he contributes to many other projects ""wherever I can"". For his part, Lavallade said that he has contributed to the wiki since 2021, but he had only recently joined the maintenance team: ""I know just enough to be dangerous"." Lavallade said that the talk was a good opportunity to cross- pollinate with another distribution, and to do some self- reflection on how the wiki team operates. They would explain how the wiki is run using the SWOT analysis format, with a focus on the content and how the maintenance team keeps the quality of pages as high as it can. "SWOT", for those who have been fortunate enough not to have encountered the acronym through corporate meetings, is short for "strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats". SWOT analysis is generally used for decision-making processes to help analyze the current state and identify what an organization needs to improve. * ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ Bluestar_6.16.1⠀⇛ Bluestar GNU/Linux is a GNU/Linux distribution that is based on Arch Linux.

We need to pace releases at CRAN so we do not immediately upload there on each upstream release—and then CRAN also had the usual (and well- deserved) summer rest leading to a slight delay relative to the last upstream. The minor changes in the three releases are summarized below. All our releases are always available via the GitHub_repo and hence also via r-universe, and still rigorously tested via our own reverse-dependency checks. We also note that the package once again passed with flying colours and no human intervention which remains impressive given the over 1200 reverse dependencies. * § Ubuntu Family⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ Adding_stubble_to_Ubuntu's_generic_Arm64_Desktop_ISOs⠀⇛ Tobias Heider has written an article that explains changes that are coming for Ubuntu's generic Arm64 desktop ISO images in the 25.10 release.

In this series I examine every aspect of this Mini PC in detail from a Linux perspective. One of the NUC’s aspects that makes it interesting from a hardware perspective is its GPU and NPU capabilities. The machine has the Intel Arc 140T, the iGPU used in the Intel Arrow Lake H/HX processor series. It’s quite a powerful integrated graphics setup. It shares the system DDR5 memory, it has 1024 cores, 64 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. It also sports 128 tensor cores, and 8 ray tracing cores. This article looks at the OpenVINO AI Plugins for Audacity, a popular open-source audio editor and recorder. The AI plugins provide a set of AI-enabled effects, generators and analyzers. The plugins run solely on the NUC Box-255H with no internet connection needed. OpenVINO (Open Visual Inference and Neural Network Optimization) runs the AI models on the Arc 140T. OpenVINO is an open-source software toolkit developed by Intel that optimizes and deploys deep learning models. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠋⠉⠛⠉⠉⠙⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠉⠁⠈⠉⠛⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠿⣿⡿⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⠚⠛⠛⢻⡿⣿⣿⢿⠛⣿⣿⣿⣷⡽⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣈⡁⢭⢺⡀⠀⠀⢻⠛⠋⡻⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠏⣿⢿⣿⣧⠴⡿⣿⢿⣟⡇⠸⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡘⠸⡡⠤⠤⠤⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢶⣼⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣞⡟⡄⠚⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠱⡑⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣞⣤⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⡑⠀⠀⣠⣖⣒⡒⡄⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⣀⣠⣀⣀⣀⣀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢧⠁⠀⠀⡴⢳⠛⠓⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣯⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣮⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣎⢧⠀⠀⣜⡃⢃⠘⠃⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⢀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⢟⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡠⣱⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠤⣴⣾⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⢕⣒⣒⣒⣒⣠⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠈⠂⢐⠀⠀⢀⢀⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⡕⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣷⡅⡉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠄⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⢀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢍⢫⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡔⡡⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢏⣂⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⢀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⡾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢊⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢬⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣞⡡⠿⠯⠍⠉⣉⣉⠊⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡔⠒⣏⡈⠀⠉⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡇⡀⡀⠀⠀⢀⠈⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣤⣤⣤⣤⣀⠀⢀⣠⣠⣻⣿⣿⣻⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣷⣭⣿⣷⠒⣲⣶⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣮⣤⣸⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 694 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/21/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/21/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 21, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇dictionary⦈_ * ⚓ rdict_-_offline_CLI_dictionary_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ rdict is an offline CLI dictionary using data from wiktionary.

A significant chunk of the retail price of a NAS is factored into the software development costs. And users feel almost compelled to keep using the operating system given that software cost built into the price. It’s like buying a PC where there’s no option to avoid paying the Windows tax. What a waste of money when Windows is immediately wiped. How about a DIY NAS where you don’t pay anything for the operating system, where you have freedom to choose the operating system that meets your needs and requirements, and configure the system exactly how you want. Does that sound enticing? If this floats your boat, you could put together your own custom NAS, starting from scratch where you choose all the individual components such as the case, motherboard, processor, cooling fan, and disks. That requires a modicum of hardware knowledge although it’s an exciting project. But for many people life is too short for this approach. An alternative is to get a hardware ready solution that isn’t tied in any way to a specific operating system. One option is the Aiffro K100. It’s an All-SSD NAS with an Intel N100 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 4 M.2 2280 NVMe slots. The machine retails for £227. You buy the SSDs separately, and choose whatever operating system you want to install. That could be something like TrueNAS Community Edition, Proxmox, or even a regular Linux distribution like Ubuntu Server. For the first few articles in this series, I’m actually going to use Ubuntu Desktop 25.04, but I’ll switch distros. * ⚓ 99Managers_Futsal_Edition_-_futsal_team-management_game_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ 99Managers Futsal Edition is an open-source sports management game, where you control every aspect of a Futsal team, from tactics to finances and much more.

I’ve visited students and teachers in the rural US who are struggling due to a lack of funding, and watched as their eyes lit up when they got ahold of Endless Key, an app packed full of safe and fun offline materials to support their self-guided learning. And I’ve helped learners and educators both unlock so much creativity and skill-building with our game-making learning programs and related open source projects.

Yes, KDE is developing its own Linux distro called, well, KDE Linux. The project is still in extremely early phases, hence no big public announcement. But it is an interesting idea, and you might be tempted to test it. But, would you risk installing such an alpha- quality system on your physical hardware? That's what virtualization is for. The only problem is, the KDE Linux installation instructions don't mention anything of this kind. The requirements call for a UEFI-based system, which means, it won't support old, legacy machines. Okay. Makes sense for a tool being developed in 2025. Another hardware restriction is that you won't be able to use Nvidia cards older than GTX 1650. This feels too limiting. It will also be Wayland only, most likely. Hm. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Early work. Indeed, we're here so I can show you how you can set up this distro in a virtual machine, safely. This will allow you to test the system without sacrificing precious hardware or risking major bugs. Let's commence. * ⚓ Krita ☛ Krita_Monthly_Update_-_Edition_29⠀⇛ Welcome to the July 2025 development and community update.

There is a bit of a connection between Indico and the conference: in 2006 and 2007, the tool was used to manage EuroPython. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Treating_Python's_debugging_woes⠀⇛ Debugging in Python is not like it is for some other languages, as there is no way to attach a debugger to a running program to try to diagnose its ills. Pablo Galindo Salgado noticed that when he started programming in Python ten years ago or so; it bugged him enough that he helped fill the hole. The results will be delivered in October with Python 3.14. At EuroPython 2025, he gave a characteristically fast-paced and humorous look at debugging and what will soon be possible for Python debugging—while comparing it all to medical diagnosis. When he started with Python, he came from the compiled-language (C, C++, and Fortran) world, where you can attach a debugger like GDB to a running program. That would allow stopping the execution, poking around to see what the program is doing, then letting it continue to execute. Python has the pdb debugger, but when he asked around about why it could not attach to running programs like GDB does, people said ""Python does not work like this"". Ten years later, ""now I am here to tell you 'yeah, it actually works likes this'"", he said with a laugh. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⠀⠀⠼⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠛⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⠃⠀⢀⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡅⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⢴⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣸⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⢬⣿⣷⣆⣀⣀⣰⣾⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡆⢠⣾⣿⣯⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉⠉⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⠿⣿⣟⢻⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢁⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⠛⢛⣵⣶⣾⠶⢿⣏⣿⣶⣝⠃⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢶⣿⠟⡩⠖⢂⠘⣿⣿⡟⢻⡇⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠸⣿⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⠰⠇⡘⠀⠀⠀⠆⠋⠀⢱⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⢈⣙⣛⣛⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡆⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡧⣿⢰⡂⣆⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠆⠀⣴⠀⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⢹⣿⠀⣿⢸⣷⡙⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⠆⠀⣿⠀⣿⣽⣇⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠸⠟⣻⣽⣿⣿⡿⢻⣿⡭⠵⣿⠀⠚⠘⢿⣿⣦⣬⠁⡀⠀⣤⠹⡆⠀⢀⠀⢸⣟⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠈⠙⠛⠻⠿⢿⣿⣿⡆⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣋⣴⣿⣿⠁⠀⡟⢀⣸⢸⣷⣌⡉⠁⠚⠷⠒⣛⣁⡂⠀⣹⠀⢸⣿⡟⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢐⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢀⡀⣏⣽⣿⣾⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠁⠀⣸⠀⢸⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠛⠁⠈⠙⣆⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢀⣠⣭⣽⣷⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⠀⢀⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⢨⣿⣿⣿⠿⠀⠰⢾⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣦⣼⡇⠘⢛⠁⠘⣻⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣴⣿⣿⣛⡀⣘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣧⣴⡄⢠⣬⣥⣎⣍⣹⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣦⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢻⣅⢀⣭⣴⣬⣿⣿⣿⡇⠸⣿⣿⡿⣩⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⢷⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⢠⣶⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠹⠿⢶⣾⡿⠛⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⢙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠈⠋⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠃⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1313 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/21/LWN_on_Kernel_Python_and_Arch.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/21/LWN_on_Kernel_Python_and_Arch.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ LWN on Kernel, Python, and Arch⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 21, 2025 Just kernel for now, more here. * ⚓ LWN ☛ On_the_use_of_LLM_assistants_for_kernel_development [Ed: Slop or plagiarism should be turned down by all projects; those caught ought to be banned as they can never be trusted anymore.]⠀⇛ By some appearances, at least, the kernel community has been relatively insulated from the onslaught of AI-driven software- development tools. There has not been a flood of vibe-coded memory-management patches — yet. But kernel development is, in the end, software development, and these tools threaten to change many aspects of how software development is done. In a world where companies are actively pushing their developers to use these tools, it is not surprising that the topic is increasingly prominent in kernel circles as well. There are currently a number of ongoing discussions about how tools based on large language models (LLMs) fit into the kernel-development community. Arguably, the current round of debate began with this article on a presentation by Sasha Levin at the Open Source Summit North America in June; his use of an LLM to generate a kernel patch came as a surprise to some developers, including the maintainer who accepted that patch. Since then, David Alan Gilbert has posted a patch proposing requirements for the disclosure of LLM use in kernel development. Levin has posted a series of his own focused on providing configurations for coding assistants and guidelines for their use. Both of these submissions have provoked discussions ranging beyond their relatively narrow objectives. * ⚓ LWN ☛ The_rest_of_the_6.17_merge_window⠀⇛ The 6.17-rc1 prepatch was released by Linus Torvalds on August 10; the 6.17 merge window is now closed. There were 11,404 non- merge changesets pulled into the mainline this time around, a little over 7,000 of which came in after the first-half merge- window summary was written. As one would expect, quite a few changes and new features were included in that work. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Possible_paths_for_signing_BPF_programs⠀⇛ BPF programs are loaded directly into the kernel. Even though the verifier protects the kernel from certain kinds of misbehavior in BPF programs, some people are still justifiably concerned about adding unsigned code to their kernel. A fully correct BPF program can still be used to expose sensitive data, for example. To remedy this, Blaise Boscaccy and KP Singh have both shared patch sets that add ways to verify cryptographic signatures of BPF programs, allowing users to configure their kernels to load only pre-approved BPF programs. This work follows on from the discussion at the Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF) in April and Boscaccy's earlier proposal of a Linux Security Module (LSM) to accomplish the same goal. There are still some fundamental disagreements over the best approach to signing BPF programs, however. The kernel can already check signatures on loadable kernel modules; what makes BPF programs more difficult? The main culprit is "compile once — run everywhere" (CO-RE) relocations. BPF programs need to access internal kernel data structures, but those data structures can be different between kernel versions, architectures, or configurations. In the same way that normal ELF relocations modify a program to account for the run-time memory layout of its libraries, CO-RE relocations modify a BPF program to account for differences between kernel versions. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1408 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/21/Perl_Critic_static_analyzer.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/21/Perl_Critic_static_analyzer.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Perl-Critic – static analyzer⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 21, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Perl⦈_ Quoting: Perl-Critic - static analyzer - LinuxLinks — Perl::Critic is an extensible framework for creating and applying coding standards to Perl source code. Essentially, it is a static source code analysis engine. Perl::Critic is distributed with a number of Perl::Critic::Policy modules that attempt to enforce various coding guidelines. Most Policy modules are based on Damian Conway’s book Perl Best Practices. However, Perl:: Critic is not limited to PBP and will even support Policies that contradict Conway. You can enable, disable, and customize those Polices through the Perl::Critic interface. You can also create new Policy modules that suit your own tastes. This is free and open source software.

A common reason for doing this is to allow higher-level abstractions. For instance, you may want to pass in a container template like std::vector, without specifying the type it contains. * ⚓ Julia Programming Language ☛ Engineering_in_the_Age_of_Agile⠀⇛ In our previous blog post, Why Hardware Needs a New Foundation, we looked at how legacy engineering tools in the physical realm struggle to keep up with modern demands. So far, they have remained siloed, and disconnected from agile development practices like Ci/CD, Git-based collaboration, and cloud-native workflows. Integrating high-fidelity simulations with system- level models is still cumbersome, often relying on black-box co-simulation that hampers scalability, accuracy, and performance. Meanwhile, software engineering has leapt ahead, powered by AI and machine learning. But in safety-critical domains like aerospace and automotive, trust, transparency, and domain- specific accuracy make naïve adoption of AI risky. The result: costly, manual, iterative modeling processes that slow innovation and prevent engineers from fully leveraging today’s computational advantages. In this blog, we explore how Dyad, the Julia ecosystem and SciML are solving these problems, merging software agility, scientific accuracy, and multi-scale modeling into a single, unified workflow. * ⚓ [Repeat] Trail of Bits ☛ Marshal_madness:_A_brief_history_of_Ruby deserialization_exploits⠀⇛ Documenting the evolution of exploitation techniques serves a crucial purpose in security engineering: it helps us understand not just individual vulnerabilities but the systemic patterns that resist conventional fixes. The story of deserialization exploits in Ruby’s Marshal module offers a uniquely well- documented case study of this phenomenon. That is, a decade- long cycle of patches and bypasses that reveals the futility of addressing symptoms rather than root causes. * ⚓ Artyom Bologov ☛ Customizing_Lisp_REPLs⠀⇛ You can already see why I might dislike custom/wrapper/proxy REPLs. They are a new layer of tools reinventing what’s already there in the underlying REPL, and doing so in an ad-hoc incompatible way. A nightmare, albeit sometimes a comfy one. Still, we don’t have to live with the horrors of proxy REPLs! We can have existing REPLs incrementally improved for lasting and universal benefit. So let’s do just that. * ⚓ Drew DeVault ☛ Embedding_Wren_in_Hare⠀⇛ I’ve been on the lookout for a scripting language which can be neatly embedded into Hare programs. Perhaps the obvious candidate is Lua – but I’m not particularly enthusiastic about it. When I was evaluating the landscape of tools which are “like Lua, but not Lua”, I found an interesting contender: Wren. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Zig_version_0.15.1⠀⇛ The Zig project has announced version 0.15.1 of the language. The release, much like the last_one, includes incremental progress toward the goal of completely dropping LLVM and improving compile time, as well as a handful of breaking changes as the language team wrestles with past API design. The biggest change this time around is to the standard library Reader and Writer interfaces, which have been completely rearranged in the name of performance and reducing unneeded copies. * ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_x13binary_1.1.61.1_on_CRAN: Micro_Fix⠀⇛ The x13binary team is happy to share the availability of Release 1.1.61.1 of the x13binary package providing the X- 13ARIMA-SEATS program by the US Census Bureau which arrived on CRAN earlier today. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1594 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/21/Red_Hat_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/21/Red_Hat_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 21, 2025 * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Build_a_container_image_for_a_Quarkus_project_using Buildpacks⠀⇛ This post explains how to use the Quarkus Container Image Buildpack extension to build container images without a Dockerfile, simplifying your CI/CD process.

This can lead to fragmented efforts that make it difficult to demonstrate a return on investment (ROI). A well-articulated strategy is crucial for successful adoption. You may also find your organization struggling to align AI solutions with specific, impactful business use cases. Demonstrating clear business value can often be a challenge.  * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Building_trustworthy_AI:_A_developer's_guide_to_production- ready_systems [Ed: Paradox of chatbots and other nonsense, conflating them with "trust"; Red Hat jumping the shark]⠀⇛ As developers, our primary concerns with Hey Hi (AI) have often focused on performance, latency, and model accuracy.

Released by Anthropic in November 2024, Model Context Protocol (MCP) provides a shared, open standard for large language models (LLMs) to communicate with arbitrary functions exposed as "tools." While tool calling and agentic applications are nothing new, MCP launched with simplistic portability and pre-built integrations from major consumer products like Slack and Surveillance Giant Google Calendar, driving a wave of quick adoption.  * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Your_agent,_your_rules:_A_deep_dive_into_the_Responses_API with_Llama_Stack [Ed: Like "Metaverse" and "Second Life" (IBM), this is more hype and Red Hat believes it can benefit from it before people get bored and move on]⠀⇛ The Proprietary Chaffbot Company Responses API provides substantial value for developers building Hey Hi (AI) applications. With many earlier inference APIs, creating agents that could use tools involved a clunky, multi-step process. Client applications had to orchestrate each part of the process: call the model with a list of possible tools, get the plan for tool execution from the model, execute the tools, send the results of the tool execution back to the model, and repeat.  * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Optimizing_application_architectures_for_AI:_From monoliths_to_intelligent_agents_-_Part_1 [Ed: Red Hat participates in the Ponzi scheme or valuation bubble; IBM is a bottomless pit.]⠀⇛ One was that in order to talk about what type of architectures are required to develop and scale AI applications, including agents and agentic AI, we needed to provide some context about the evolution of architectures. This was important because we believe that there is no need to throw everything out and start afresh for AI apps. Rather, our premise was that you will succeed by thinking about this as an evolution of your existing application investments. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Evolve_your_Citrix_Infrastructure:_Unlocking_agility and_efficiency_with_Red_Hat_OpenShift_Virtualization⠀⇛ This is where implementing Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization as the foundation for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops makes a difference. It brings together Citrix's proven desktop delivery model with OpenShift's modern virtualization layer. The result is a unified, cloud-ready platform that supports your existing Citrix workloads while opening the door to smarter scaling, streamlined operations, and hybrid cloud optionality. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Elevate_your_Citrix_Virtual_Apps_and_Desktops experience_with_Red_Hat_OpenShift_Virtualization⠀⇛ The new support for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops on OpenShift Virtualization allows you to change hypervisors without disrupting Citrix workflows. This isn't about forcing container management, it's about leveraging a powerful, Kubernetes-based platform to run your existing virtual machines with greater efficiency and flexibility. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Disaster_Recovery:_Achieving_Instantaneous_Hot-Hot with_OpenShift⠀⇛ If you're moving from a colo that someone manages to VMware, the cloud, or a different VMware data center, they all look and feel different. * ⚓ CentOS_7_vs_CentOS_8_–_Which_is_a_Better_Choice_For_You?⠀⇛ The new release of CentOS is here and has brought in many changes many users have questioned about.

However, we’ve also covered other ESP32-P4 boards with Ethernet (and other features) such as the ESP32-P4-Module-DEV-KIT, the ESP32- P4-NANO board, and the GUITION JC-ESP32P4-M3-DEV. Design wise, the board also looks very similar to the Wiznet boards based on Raspberry Pi RP2xxx microcontroller such as the W55RP20-EVB- Pico, the W6300-EVB-Pico2, and the W5100S-EVB-Pico2 boards, but you can also run multimedia workloads with MIPI camera and display interfaces, hardware video encoding, audio processing, Hey Hi (AI) speech functions, and advanced security features on the ESP32-P4-ETH board. * ⚓ Jonathan Pallant ☛ JP's_Website_·_2025-08-20_·_How_many_SPARCs_is_too many_SPARCs?⠀⇛ The machines were in Newbury and the owner needed to clear the whole lot, so wasn't particularly interested in people coming and collecting one at a time. So, I said I could come down right away (it's only a ~3 hour drive each way) and take as many as would fit into my car. The vendor was actually surprised at all the interest, and in the end we agreed I could take about half the pile, leaving half for the other people who were coming later. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Forlinx_FET-MX9596-C_SoM_Arrives_with_NXP_i.MX_95,_Dual 10GbE,_and_Onboard_NPU⠀⇛ Forlinx Embedded, an NXP gold partner, has officially launched its FET-MX9596-C SoM and the companion OK-MX9596-C development board.

It includes dictionaries for a number of languages, and has a rich plugin ecosystem. It also has a glaring security problem: while running on X11, using Debian's default configuration, it will send a user's text selections over unencrypted HTTP to two remote servers. On August 4, Vincent Lefevre reported the problem to the oss-security mailing list and to Debian's bug tracker. He identified it while testing his setup before the upcoming Debian 13 ("trixie") release. Installing StarDict will also install the stardict-plugin package by default, because the former recommends the latter. The plugins package contains a set of commonly used StarDict plugins, including a plugin for YouDao, a Chinese search engine that supplies Chinese-to-English translations. The plugin also contacts a second online Chinese dictionary, dict.cn. This would normally not be much cause for concern; of course a dictionary program will include code to talk to dictionary-providing web sites. But one of StarDict's features, which is also enabled by default, is its "scan" functionality: it will watch the user's text selections (i.e. text highlighted with the mouse), and automatically provide translations as a pop-up. Taken together, the two features result in any selected text being sent to both servers. This only occurs while StarDict is open, but the application is designed to be left open in the background in case the user needs a quick reference while reading. StarDict on Wayland doesn't have this problem, because Wayland prevents applications from being able to capture text from other applications by default. That does mean that it breaks StarDict's scan feature, though.

The changes are not as big as this new release, primarily updates several core components: Tor Browser moves to version 14.5.6, the Tor client is bumped to 0.4.8.17, and Thunderbird has been refreshed to 128.13. In addition to the software upgrades, the release also resolves an issue that could be confusing for some users. When configuring bridges in Tor Connection, Tails previously displayed an irrelevant error message—something that’s now been removed.

These 5 games make it fun - and they're free | ZDNET — For many, the idea of learning Linux is a task best left to the geeks. The good news is that desktop Linux has become so easy to use that you don't have to worry about the challenges that may have kept you from diving in. With modern Linux desktop distributions, there's no need to learn the command line or the more advanced tools (such as YaST). Now, if you want to really get the most out of Linux, or are considering a career as a Linux administrator, you'll need to learn considerably more… including the command line. Now that can be intimidating, especially to those who've never opened a terminal window or typed a command.

It’s also great how many, often invisible, features are included in the browser’s implementations of the basics of HTML and CSS to make them accessible. Instead of building our own custom solutions and having to remember implementing things like keyboard navigation, landmarks, focus management or screen reader announcements ourselves, we can just lean back. Or can we?

Yes, there are countless different Markdown processors out there, and yes, all of them handle edge cases differently. But where they “fail” 99% of the time are edge cases, and if you follow reasonably good practices—the sort of nitpicky things that MarkdownLint whines about—you’re pretty unlikely to run into trouble. I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I’ve never had to learn a “new” style of Markdown or unlearn bad habits from previous work. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2961 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/21/What_to_Expect_From_ClamAV_1_5_Open_Source_Antivirus.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/21/What_to_Expect_From_ClamAV_1_5_Open_Source_Antivirus.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ What to Expect From ClamAV 1.5 Open-Source Antivirus⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 21, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇ClamAV_logo⦈_ Quoting: What to Expect From ClamAV 1.5 Open-Source Antivirus — The team behind ClamAV has announced the availability of the ClamAV 1.5 release candidate, giving users an early look at what’s coming in the next major version of this highly popular open-source antivirus engine. One of the biggest highlights in this release is the introduction of a FIPS-compliant method for verifying CVD and CDIFF signature database files. While the feature is included in this candidate, ClamAV developers aren’t yet distributing the associated “.cvd.sign” files for the main databases. For now, this means systems running in strict FIPS mode will still see Freshclam updates fail. However, the release candidate does include test keys and certificates so developers can begin trying out the new signing and verification workflow.
